^^Yeah, those players definitely have a lot of appeal to me as well. What I like about Frisell is the way he harmonises chords so as to come up with melodies that are simultaneously ugly and compelling. Even when he's playing something upbeat he can make it sound hideous. He never really rips in the traditional sense, but it isn't beyond his ability and a couple of his recordings feature his take on that style. His more recent output veers a bit to close to folk/country for my liking but is still enjoyable. Check out Lookout For Hope if ever you're curious, and the recordings he's done with Vernon Reid or Henry Kaiser for some shreddier stuff.
