MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!! Jimi is GREAT and the GREATEST for his time but if your talking shred material than you guys should check out:

-Paul Gilbert
-Yngwie Malmsteen
-Joe Satriani
-Marty Friedman
-Richie Kotzen
-Eric Johnson
-George Lynch
-Shawn Lane <probably the fastest guitarist ever
-Michael Angelo Batio <the fastest guitarist ever and invented the 'X' guitar [four necks...2 left handed and 2 right handed]

Those are just some guitarist that SPANK the guitar the whole album!!
