I don't know about you guys, but Gilbert is thw only one who isn't battling dead noise and bum notes throughout his videos, and I cam here for Rusty Cooley.

Never had I felt so hopeless. Oh god, why did I even watch this.

All are incredible. I'm partial to Gilbert but mostly because he's more of a rocker who happens to have monster chops: I like his straight-up rock songs. Loomis fits the bill when I feel like neoclassical shred. Broderick... mad skill with that two-handed stuff and encyclopedic knowledge of theory, but I just wish his song compositions were more interesting. Rusty is not very interesting to me at all, though he's clearly about the fastest layer in existence. Not in here, but I'm a huge Petrucci fan, and he can really move too, when he feels like it.

Paul Gilbert can play a guitar with one String and kill it. Jeff Loomis is a god, seen him live and he nailed every note. those 2 are hands down the best. also both can kill it outside of just shred playing.

1:49 Broderick

3:37; I might have to give it to Paul Gilbert, just because he was able to pull that off at the bottom of a dirty aquarium. Seriously, though, it's funny seeing these guys blazing, then Cooley comes and does everything twice as fast and just as clean.

Rusty - fastest Paul - cleanest Chris - best tapping Jeff - also rocks

well, cooley hands down is the fastest, know doubt about it!! but gilbert is a genius!! loomis is incredible!! and broderick is much more about tapping styles, which is great, don't get me wrong, the man is extremey talented!!

Paul Gilbert is one of some guitarist that really has the most precise technique i've ever known, his fingers movement is so accurate and consistent, his picking technique is so consistent using downstroke and upstroke moves even though he has to do string skipping and he picks so assertively even in a fast tempo. His left hand's fingers placement on the fretboard is on the place supposed to be, when he plays 3 notes per string let say D-E-F, he will use index finger, ring finger and pinkie whereas many guitarist will use index, middle and ring finger.

Man every one of these dudes are just phenomenal and whatever they play

In the words of Derrick St. Hubbins," I threw my guitar out, why bother, why bother, I can't play the thing like that, use it as a coffee table." Incredible!!

Gilbert is so clean with his alternate picking Loomis sounds so awesome , I mean his compositions are awesome But man Gilbert's is really smooth and sounds really clean when he plays fast

Knowledge, versatility, musicality, articulation, pinky = Paul Gilbert

Jeff Loomins wins hands down.

At this level of playing, there are no winners.Add guys like Petrucci, Vai, Batio, Malmsteem, Skolnik, Becker, Satriani and it's really a question of substance and style.Like Neo? then Malmsteem, Speed? Batio,Prog Thrash?..Loomis..freakily good shit?...Jarzomback. Speed is great and sweeping arpegios are fine but remember, technical ability is only half the story the other is soul.Anyone want to say Blackmore sucks? or Van Halen?,Gilmore?, Brian May?Page?.....it's craftsmanship AND artistry. For me, Godless Endeavor was/is one of the best guitar albums out there but so is Animation of Etimology and ..Physical Graffiti....

All great guitarists, and whilst I'd say Rusty is the most technically accomplished, I find Paul much funner to listen to since there's so much diversity in the way he plays in terms of techniques as well as scales and modes.

I’m a fan of all these guys but loomis has the “it” factor for me. Always has. Writes the sickest riffs and solos imo

Loomis is the best guitarist of present times, gilbert was a god in his times. Other two are monsters as well, rusty and broderick might be more technical and faster but they still have to prove themselves.. I mean, Loomis has done a lot of stuff. And gilbert has been playing since 80's.

Rusty Cooley 3. Chris Broderick 4. Jeff Loomis Unless Jeff is just not showing any of is various techniques in all of his solos or guitar party rights and yes I listen to all of the ban he is with and some of his solo work he couldn't live without the diminished scale and Chris' two handed technique and creations, as well as,Russty's technique and again creativity, and with Paul Gilbert string skipping and just excellent both in his teaching and creations... Loomis just pales on so many factors. Every fucking solo rom Loomis is the same... yeah Rusty just plays very fast most the time but at the same time at least his technique and execution thereof is extremely precise and different each solo hahahaha.

All of them are great because the passion, time and sacrifice they put into their craft. I'm a fan of Loomis because of neoclassical and diminished sound, Gilbert's alternate picking because of clean and crisp attack.
