I'm sorry Charo is a very a talented guitarist but every time I hear her name or look at her the only thing that runs through my mind is Cuchi cuchi -
NightRyder
Actually, she is a very talented stage performer in dance, singing, and classical guitar. Plus she speaks and sings in several languages fluently, including Japanese. I saw her on a cruise ship perforance where she told the story of cuchi- cuchi. If you listen to the words of the song it is the story of her dog, named cuchi cuchi. In the US she became popular as the cuchi cuchi girl and her manager said we need to go with that since nobody will remember her full name. The way she told the story mixed with music was really great.
One thing I appreciate with guitarists is the ability to play the instrument with all five fingers plucking and then mix in the tapping like a bongo drum, in different places to have different pitches of the sound. Most rock guiitarists listed all play with a pic one note at a time. I see it like playing a piano with one finger or 10 fingers!
I know this is a Satellite (video) forum but this is a great topic to discuss and share, since we all have our own favorites there is no one answer, I have checked out some of the links (Michael Hedges, guitar trio) and discovered some new artists.
In my opinion the state of the airwaves (AM/FM) is in a sad state, it has a very limited variety (top ten same songs every hour), and there are many artists out there that we will never hear or know about.

Ok boys. FZ and Steve Vai together:
YouTube - Frank Zappa - Stevie's Spanking
and...Satriani and Vai doing a Zappa song. (Absof-inglutely incredible):
YouTube - Steve Vai,Joe Satriani,Eric Johnson-My Guitar Wants To Kill
BTW, how do I imbed the video object into a forum post like youse other guys? The standard YouTube object imbed doesn't work for me.

Actually I didn't see it till after I posted, saw the OP and Posted. RR was my favorite growing up with Jimmy Page, Yngwie Malmsteen and Eddie Van Halen behind. My only regret was not being able to see him live, Ozzy was my first concert I ever saw, but Randy was gone(Motley Crue opened up for Ozzy
). IMO I think he enjoyed classical guitar more than rock, but that classical background made him a better rock guitarist.Best video I could find. An old Quiet Riot performance.

I saw him quite a few times in the 70's and early 80's, with some great band members like Vai, Terry Bozio, George Duke, Adrian Belew, and Chester Thompson.
I also interviewed him in his hotel room for my college radio station back in 75 or 76.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the guitarist who these, and yes Don, Charo, have built upon. I saw Andres Segovia play at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in LA in, I think, 1973. As all the Rockers playing electric guitar, particularly solid bodies, have Les Paul to thank, those playing Spanish and/or classical guitar are building on the innovation of Segovia.
Andrés Segovia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Segovia - Magic Flute
Andres Segovia: J.S.Bach-Adagio and Gavotte en Rondeau
Adrian Belew, there's a name I haven't heard in a long while. What's he doing of late?
