    All are incredible. I'm partial to Gilbert but mostly because he's more of a rocker who happens to have monster chops: I like his straight-up rock songs. Loomis fits the bill when I feel like neoclassical shred. Broderick... mad skill with that two-handed stuff and encyclopedic knowledge of theory, but I just wish his song compositions were more interesting. Rusty is not very interesting to me at all, though he's clearly about the fastest layer in existence. Not in here, but I'm a huge Petrucci fan, and he can really move too, when he feels like it.

      Paul Gilbert is one of some guitarist that really has the most precise technique i've ever known, his fingers movement is so accurate and consistent, his picking technique is so consistent using downstroke and upstroke moves even though he has to do string skipping and he picks so assertively even in a fast tempo. His left hand's fingers placement on the fretboard is on the place supposed to be, when he plays 3 notes per string let say D-E-F, he will use index finger, ring finger and pinkie whereas many guitarist will use index, middle and ring finger.

Batio,Prog Thrash?..Loomis..freakily good shit?...Jarzomback. Speed is great and sweeping arpegios are fine but remember, technical ability is only half the story the other is soul.Anyone want to say Blackmore sucks? or Van Halen?,Gilmore?, Brian May?Page?.....it's craftsmanship AND artistry.

      Unless Jeff is just not showing any of is various techniques in all of his solos or guitar party rights and yes I listen to all of the ban he is with and some of his solo work he couldn't live without the diminished scale and Chris' two handed technique and creations, as well as,Russty's technique and again creativity, and with Paul Gilbert string skipping and just excellent both in his teaching and creations... Loomis just pales on so many factors. Every fucking solo rom Loomis is the same... yeah Rusty just plays very fast most the time but at the same time at least his technique and execution thereof is extremely precise and different each solo hahahaha.

    All these guys are great l'm not going to say who is the best. For me the style of Jeff Loomis and Rusty Cooley. These two guys have the best refs of anybody out today and over the top lead the best best of both worlds.

    Rusty is a monster of sweep arpeggios but the hole shred stuff, Paul is the absolutely master in think.
    You can do a similar Video with Shawn Lane, Guthrie Govan, Jason Becker and Yngwie Malmsteen.
    ...and the winner will be: PG!

      Prefer sa cred că Jason Becker este campionul tuturor timpurilor...un geniu absolut...după el Greg Howe și MacAlphine

    In terms of technique:
    1. Rusty Cooley (without a doubt)
    2. Chris Broderick
    3. Jeff Loomis
    4. Paul Gilbert
    In terms of how good their music is (in my opinion):
    1. Paul Gilbert
    2. Jeff Loomis
    3. Rusty Cooley
    4. Chris Broderick

      Paul Gilbert .

      You don't seriously think that Paul Gilbert has better technique than Rusty do you? Or any of the other guys for that matter. These days, every experienced shredder and their moms can play most of Gilbert's material. I sure as hell can't say the same for the other three.

      Sorry for my "spanish" : Yo no hablo de tecnica,mi amigo,hablo de musica,de musicalidad y de legado . La tecnica es una herramienta que se consigue con practica . La MUSICALIDAD es un DON. Saludos

      Ah, so you're not a native English speaker. What I was saying in the first half of my comment is that Paul didn't have as good of technique, so when you said in terms of "all" Paul Gilbert, you implied that Paul Gilbert had better technique than the other three (which is false). I agree with you though; Paul Gilbert definitely makes the best music out of the four.

    Each one is the " best " in their own unique , individual way - if a person likes one better than the others then that is " best " ti that person which is the real question .
    No one can say who is best cause no one really knows . They actually say who they LIKE THE BEST !
    I like all four - so they are all the best

    So many people say wheres the proof that there is a "Higher Being". Well people if this doesnt show you that some people are blessed with a gift from that higher being . Then i simply dont know what to say... I feel no one can judge these guys... Each one of them brings a certain element to the table. Now if you wanna say i prefer.... I can go with that.. Saying that , being from Denver i used to see Chris all the time . Jag Panzer or around the town. Highlands Ranch... Great person. Havent had the pleasure of meeting any of the others ... I think they all win.

    broderick is complete of muscle memory
    jeff loomis has the best vibrato and song writing
    paul is the most versitale between them cause of his blues side
    rusty is a result of an experiment about ''practicing 25 hours a day''
