Thanks House the Ghost, but I´m only living in the past and am just a lawnmover. I agree Frank Zappa is a great guitarist, I need to revisit that album...
My fav Prog guitarists are Franco Mussida from PFM still going strong and Rodolfo Maltese from BMS RIP, they both fall in the same cathegory like Steve Hackett playing complex textures and sounds into music´s structure not just brilliant instrumentalists/soloists.
Oh dear, I almost forgot Steve Howe´s work on Paul Simon´s "America", 1971, how his progressive country style takes this beautiful yet quite simple song into another happy even funny level is sheer brilliance. He brought country guitar into Prog and that´s why Americans esteem Yes as the best Prog band IMO. As he said on Yesyears docu, Prog in the 70´s could be fun, sheer fun
