All quite "good" but not "as good" as the ones I mentioned. Besides, this isn't about "personal preference"; this is about whether or not today's guitarists, on a whole/as a group, have either the chops their elders had (they don't) or can they/do they run off amazing SOLOS like they used to "back in the day" ('Freebird'-style). They don't.
