    If your looking for a challenge play some Allan Holdsworth. Very tricky scales and chords. In specifics get "Road Games".

    A lot of Allan Holdsworth tabs are yonder.

    :D

    If you dare, check out a collaboration between Pat Metheny and John Scofield. The album's called "I can see your house from here".

    John Mclaughlin - Electric Guitarist

    First guitarist i've heard that can play smoothly and consciously over the Giant Steps changes!

    Amazing stuff!
