Who do you guys think is the most technically skilled player?

John McLaughlin or Shawn Lane.

Shawn was a badass.
Some of Jason Beckers stuff from Perpetual Burn greatly reminds me of Shawn.

Shawn Lane definitely. Allan Holdsworth and Joe Pass as well.

For NeoClassical I'd go with Tony MacAlpine maybe.
Outside of the NeoClassical genre John McLaughlin would take some beating.

Jason Becker or Guthrie Govan.

Didn't realize this was in the neo-classical forum. Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, and Jason Becker would be my picks.

I'm not guna say he's the most technical player in the world. But anybody who's listened to Luca Turilli certainly knows he pulls off the most technical arpeggios you've ever heard. Literally, jaw dropping full-octave arpeggios. not cliche ones either, completely his own.

Becker,Yngwie,Gilbert...Shawn lane

I'd say Vinnie Moore if we are talking Neo Classical in that his playing is so clean. Shawn Lane maybe if you are talking generally.

Hmmm...should Jason Becker and Shawn Lane even be eligible now? I mean, I'm not taking anything away from what they did....but seeing as how they aren't playing anymore...I'd have to go with...John Petrucci. I was going to say Paul Gilbert...but I think he restrains himself a lot. However, when you watch John play a fast run he stiffens up big time, whereas Paul looks a hundred times more relaxed....Hmmmm...I don't know...I'm stuck now :P

Shawn Lane and Rusty Cooley are the fastest, and have excellent use of legato... But that's not exactly technical, is it? When it comes to creativeness with extreme arpeggios, I'd say:
1.) Stephan Forte
2.) Luca Turilli
3.) Jeff Loomis
4.) Tony MacAlpine
5.) Vinnie Moore
6.) Jason Becker
There are many great and fast shredders like Chris Impellitteri, Paul Gilbert, Buckethead, John 5, Yngwie Malmsteen, Uli Jon Roth, Joe Stump, Michael Romeo, Michael Angelo Batio, Marty Friedman, Ron Jarzombek, and the sort... But I always thought of technicality as complexity, not speed. I can't play worth shit, so this is just my opinion.

Rusty Cooley ^
To me he sounds like a bunch of glued exercises,no melody and too many notes per second.
There are place and time for everything,in his music has place only for speed and most of the time he sounds completely out of the tone.
Why this desire of sounding strange all the time ?
Strange like I LOVE WRONG NOTES AND HATE A GOOD MELODY ?
:angry:
:D

Well, this was a topic about the most technically skilled player, not the most melodic one.
That said, I'm certainly not a fan of Cooley's playing either.

That's why I picked Cooley.
Only technique there.
And maybe 90% time sounding like wrong technique :D

I have to go with either Tony Macalpine or jason becker.
I have to agree that Rusty is a really technical guy (tho his vibrato to me sucks badly)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwLiwU-n9KwNever saw any sweep that fast. I hope Jason come recovers so Rusty could show him those sweeps.
