My favorites change from time to time and when I a m introduced to ones I never knew about. Many times I ask myself how the heck I messed that all these years.
So I will start the thread with this....
One of my favorite guitarists at the moment is Jeff Kollman who is another virtuoso that can play it all.
He has done several solo and group projects as well as music for TV and Movies as per below bio from his web site.
His more recent collaboration is with Chad Smith, drummer from the Chilli Peppers, The Bombastic Meatbats. It is rock fusion at its best. He also had a band called Cosmosquad, another named Edwin Dare. My favorite disk recently is Guitar Screams Live. His most recent offering, Silence in the Corridor (tribute to Gary Moore) has Jeff playing about 7 different styles on the same disk.
Lots of great Youtube offerings to listen to for review.

Jeff Kollman's diverse guitar style, which fuses jazz harmony with Modern heavy music, is influencing a new generation of guitarists across the globe.
Kollman has been voted among the top 20 favorite guitarists in Young Guitar Magazines readers poll along side the likes of Santana, Jeff Beck, and Edward Van Halen. Besides his worldwide guitar hero status, Jeff is an in demand session guitarist, co writer, and producer for rock legends. Jeff has played and or recorded with a diverse many such as, Jill Scott, Ufo, Glenn Hughes, Lao Tizer, Michael Schenker, HTP, and with his groups Edwin Dare, Cosmosquad, JKB, Mogg/Way, Crumb Bros. and more. On his own label Marmaduke Records, Kollman has written and produced 14 solo and band recordings and a recent DVD release with his group Cosmosquad, which was recorded live in Hollywood and released in July 2008. Jeff is also busy writing songs for film and Television. Credits include Sahara, Failure To Launch, Clerks 2, Fantastic 4, Eight Below, Rounders, Slither, Reaper, and Showtimes "Masters Of Horror" series to name a few.
An avid fan and collector of Fender guitars, Kollman signed on as an endorser of Fender and has spent a great deal of time educating and spreading the spirit of rock n roll through Fender. In 2008 alone, Jeff has performed in countries such as Thailand, Taiwan, The Philippines, Malaysia, Mexico, Hawaii, five cities in China and three separate rock tours to Japan. Jeff's latest venture is his 70’s influenced rock /funk group 'The Bombastic Meatbats' featuring the legendary rock drummer Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers).
