Break down all of the techniques, who can do it all and who does it best? In my first post, I mentioned Kirk Hammet. I think he's the best of at least the last 30 years. His solo on Ride the Lightning is probably his best work it starts with great tapping, moves to the slow 'with feeling' type of solo, works in effective slides and goes from one end of the guitar and back, throws in some whammy bar work, varies in speed from a mellow pace to blistering speed, and is pretty damn intricate at times.
I can't think of anyone else who has displayed the range he has and the mastery with all forms of rock soloing.
