Not a fan myself, but the contrast of experience and age vs youthful approach would be interesting<br>

Satriani or Vai are the best known - but I'm not sure how well known outside of guitar circles.? </div> </blockquote> I'd go for Vai out of those two. I am about as far away from a Steve Vai fan as you can get, in terms of his playing, but he would certainly make for a charismatic counter to the other two. I don't like his playing or style but I'd happily listen to him talk about what he does, as he is something of a character. <br>

<span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: medium;">Neil Young</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;"> is a miserable so-and-so and highly litigious to boot and would not take part... But if it was about railways and model trains he'd be straight in there... as would Pete Waterman...</span>

I like the contemporary British guitar wave so: <div>Guthrie for the dirty-shreddy stuff and a bit of fusion </div><div>Matt Scoffield for the modern bllues stuff </div><div>Aynsley Lister for the Clapton-like blues-rock stuff </div><div> Or </div><div>Guthrie </div><div>Eric Johnson</div><div> Warren Haynes </div><div><br></div><div>Although I respect the old cats (EVH, Clapton, Gilmour ect) <span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 1.7em;">and find them relevant, </span><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 1.7em;">I think we need to move on and see what some other players do. Not that my last too are young laddies but I think they are underrated and deserve some more exposure in an event like that.</span></div>
