To Drakesaxprofs list, I'd add:

Eugene Rousseau (duh)
Steven Mauk
Lawrence Gwozdz (or however you spell it)
Michael Hester (you'll need to direct order his CDs)
Kenneth Tse

There are so many great players out there, it's tough to pick just a few...It would be easier to write about who NOT to listen to :twisted:

Definitely listen to Michael Hester. Having studied with Rousseau, Sinta, Londiex, and others, he has a beautiful modern sound influenced by many of our warhorses. I'm not sure what you mean by "direct order" J.Max, but they can be found here:

Best,

You also could listen to this SOTW member, James Romain. There are very nice sounded stuffs on his website!

Totally Agree! Dr. Romain (aka Drakesaxprof) has some beautiful clips on his website. Chris Crevistson (aka Prodigal) is another SOTW friend to check out: http://www.soundclick.com/pro/view/01/default.cfm?bandID=217529&content=music
