I'm suprised you didn't mention Soren Madsen Chris?

Well I'll put him in. Here's a beautiful rendition of "Can't Help Falling in Love".

A couple of other Fingerstyle Guitarists I think worthy of mention are Sungha Jung

Gabriella Quevedo. You never heard Pink Floyd's 'Comfortably Numb" played like this.

Bluegrass is not everyones tea and never was mine either until recently, but it's making a surge due to these two performers. Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle. Here they are together. Billy shines around the 2:40 mark.

Even some Metal Shredders are in awe of Billy. He stated in an interview he likes his guitars action set higher than normal with heavy gauge strings. His fingertips must be made of metal. He does it all on acoustic.

And what can be said of Molly. What an incredible talent. She's started out pure Bluegrass, but is branching out into more contemporary areas with her own originals. Hopefully the whole world will know about her soon. Check out her clawhammer technique when she was younger.

and this more recent one of her picking technique.
