Yngwie Malmsteen: A little bit goes a loooooong way with speed, wide vibratos, and did I mention speed? I do like some of his work (Blitzkrieg, Black Star), but after a while it's just a yawn, and sometimes downright ghastly, especially his non-instrumentals (I am a Viking)
Underrated:
JEFF BECK: One of the very few guys who can play a guitar without sounding like he's playing a guitar. Can take a jazz tune and make it rock, and vice versa. And no one can match his tone versatility (due in part, it must be admitted to a wide range of effects pedals). Three words: Blow by blow
