There's renewed recognition for the likes of Megadeth's Marty Friedman and Martin Barre of Jethro Tull, not to mention the man we described as "The best British rock guitarist of his generation", Manic Street Preachers' James Dean Bradfield.
Contrast the music of Barre and Bradfield with the likes of Eddie Van Halen and Steve Vai, flying the flag for the shredders, and it's clear that the guitar solo is as broad and diverse a church as ever.
But who will emerge victorious? Can Petrucci complete a remarkable rise to prominence with a win? Will Slash prove he's the rock soloist for the ages? Can Gilmour push on from his third place finish last time to take the prize, or will Felder and co hang on to the top spot again?
It's up to YOU – vote below for your favourite. Vote, then vote again, then tell your friends to vote too! Spread the word, Guitarist is going to find out what the best guitar solo of all time is, and you're going to tell us who.
