I will marry (or at least whore myself out to) the first man I meet that can replicate this.
Miyavi is a seriously talented MOFO.
But methinks he outta tone down on that commercialism and hype surrounding him....

There are a lot of what if's in life Donny. What if I hit you really hard in the face, knocked yo shit to the back of yo skull? What if I....had you girl gargle my nuts? The fact remains, you are a fuckin mutant.

Miyavi is insanely talented... no one can argue that. The problem is that his music has gone from unique and catchy and cool to just fucking weird. This bizarre thing he's got going these days.... mixing rap? and r&b? with acoustics and visual kei? It's just fucking weird. He's got a "posse" now.... which includes someone to paint his face and a tapdancer. A tapdancer.

Hell no...I'm actually embarrassed by what I use to do with my old band. I think there might be clips of us on Youtube, but even I'm afraid to check.
Besides, I didn't play the solo. Other member did. Replicated it note for note on the CD recording. Sweet.

Wow that is weird. I haven't been following his exploits lately, but....wow.
All I know is that I wish I had his skills. And his mug wouldn't hurt either, haha.
That's it, I'm gonna practice my acoustic slapping and impress the shit out of everyone.

Not really familiar with this guy, but he sounds way more awesome now. Who doesn't want their own personal face painter
As far as japanese guitarists go, I'm a huge fan Agata, from Melt Banana. He is like Tom Morello, except not overrated.
Also I like this guy:
Meshuggah guitarist Fredrik
No fancy solo's, but mind numbingly difficult rythm's and polyrythms (well poly in conjunction with drummer).
Dances with Wolves 2 is gonna ROCK!

Yeah no. Here's the only song from his newer stuff that I can tolerate.

In keeping with the spirit of this thread, the guitar is pretty fucking cool.

Check out the whole instrumental at the beginning of this video. Again... I will marry (or whore myself out to) the first man I meet that can do this.

No no...
Would you marry a guy or girl who could do that. Would it matter?

This pisses me off! I know plenty of excellent studio guitar solos, but live, I can't think of anything besides this:
And for those of you TL:DR douchebags, its 10 minutes long.

As spectacular as that is, and it really is, it's proof that speed isn't everything, because it got to the point where it wasn't even music anymore.
