    After hearing of the death of Eddie Van Halen last week it got me thinking about what ;ies for the future of the guitar world

    We have been spoilt with so many great axemen in the world the past 5/6 decades in which some are still alive and others sadly rocking in the afterlife. There legacies will live on along with the styles/technique but what about the future. Has anyone come along in the 2000s/10s that have created their own technique and will have a legacy for future generations

    Tosin Abasi and Guthrie Govan would be two talents that spring to mind who really gained recognition in the past ten or twenty years.

    There are loads of excellent guitarists out there, many on YouTube and indie labels.

    Look up any of the following on YouTube if interested - Andy James, Jack Thammarat, Nick Johnston to name a few.

    Megadeth has Kiko Loureiro Playing lead nowadays and while he’s not Marty Friedman, he has his own style and is just as good, he also released a solo album recently where he collaborates with many current virtuosos.

    Marty Friedman, probably my favourite in terms of expressive and original playing, if not in songwriting, is still going.

    Then there’s John Petrucci who is still active, as is the great Joe Satriani. Andy Timmons is still recording too, another incredible musician. (Check out ‘Cry for you’)

    RIP Eddie Van Halen.

    Abasi is insanely skilled and created something very different with the first Animals As Leaders album.
