He's been around for a couple of years but I only recently became aware of him - Jared James Nichols.
What a fucking monster of a player he is. Like the bastard child of Leslie West, Zakk Wylde and Paul Gilbert... and everything is fingerstyle. No picks in sight - and one of his main guitars is an Epiphone LP Custom with the neck pickup ripped out. Love his Instagram:
His recorded material is good too:
I think his vibrato is some of the best I've ever heard. Just perfect.
I assume there must be some fans on here?

I'm a fan. Loads of attitude in his playing and a truly great vibrato (and I'm a fussy sod when it comes to vibrato).

The best demos are done by joel at chicago music exchange, i actually downloaded all his band royale stuff because it was really good to my old ears, they call it yacht metal, great player and singer too

I'll remember those words to say to our lead guitarist when he decides to drown out the whole band, including the full acoustic drumkit, again (and again, and again)
This is so much better in every way

I would do well to remember this every time I come here to post videos of a guitarist I think other people might enjoy.
For what it's worth I think he looks great, his playing is fucking great (I love the sheer aggression of his style), he sings OK, he seems like a good bloke but I was very disappointed how woefully average - and surprisingly bland - some of the songs on his albums are.
I think he is pretty decent as a player, not my 'cup of tea' musically, but he can definitely play.
