alternative music guitar heroes


In the never ending pursuit of new interesting original music, I recently have been enjoying a new crop (to me anyway) of guitar heroes- lots of instrumentals and some vocals. In no particular order:
Steve Gunn- Unseen in Between, Eyes on the Line. Steve has played with Kurt Vile for many years. Acoustic, electric- this guy is great.
William Tyler- Modern Country. 
Lee Renaldo- Last Night on Earth- Lee played guitar for Sonic Youth for many years and his solo works are in the same electric feedback vein.
Thurston Moore- The Last Day.  Also from Sonic Youth, Moore wrote most of their songs. This album is fantastic. Kind of like Television or the more accessible Sonic Youth albums. 
Chris Forsyth and the Solar Motel Band- from Philadelphia, I have enjoyed every Forsyth album I have purchased. His music is primarily instrumental and I hear influences from Jeff Beck, Zappa, Steve Morse, and even a little Grateful Dead. 
None of these artists are about technical speed or guitar pyrotechnics. They each have a distinct style and infuse their own personality and soul into their songs. Check them out. Add to the list. Have fun.

Check out Johnathan Wilson, besides his solo stuff he plays with Father John Misty.

I have just about everything Danny Gatton has released. Have you ever checked out any of the recordings put out by his widow? I am curious about the quality.
