Daft Punk do some cool stuff, it's not massively complicated or whatever, but it works... Ask Lalimacefollie, he knows about poeple like Ron Thal, Dream Theater etc etc...

If you want to really hear some awesome stuff, check out Ron Thal!! I'm like his biggest fan! He's such an awesome player, and you can't be crazier than he is... He's the closest to a genius that I know. I've found a file that shows his great songwriting chops, awesome playing, sense of humor (I can't play the bluuuuues)...

He has brought to the world of electric guitar new techniques, (check this one out: http://www.guitartricks.com/2000/trick.php?trick_id=3659) like BB king, Van Halen, and Jimi Hendrix before him. I know we all tell that about our favorite guitar player, but this guy is really a genius...
