ill say this about gates. he and don donegan from disturbed are two of the more underrated guitarists in music. im not going to pour accolades on them and say that the SONGS are incredibly written, but for the most part... when its their time to shine... they do a much better job than people would assume. ill leave it at that.

if we are just talking about as a guitarist, like not fronting a band, just how good they are at playing a guitar... and roughly in your age group?


Tosin Abbassi is way high up on my list. but most of the bands in that genre are incredibly talented. its the equivolent of having a shred band without a solo guy... these new djent bands are all very musically talented. protest the hero, animals as leaders, periphery, etc...

there are these two guys whose youtube page i started following a year or two ago because they dual cover songs 100% perfectly. they started their own band called abolish the echelon. they are recording songs right now and posting them up as they complete them. very good work. alexstypes is the channel name.
