Just wanted to highlight a player many people aren't aware of, Stochelo Rosenberg. Shred is for chumps, this guy kills. Amazing technique in gypsy jazz here, what a player. Christ, even the rhythm parts are bloody tough in the Maraouche style.
Check out the melody in this one. Most guys struggle to play that quick topping out, Stochelo does it multiple times, perfectly in time.

And here he is with a couple of other gods of the genre, he's the 3rd soloist.

I'm not a guitar player. I didn't have the right to call myself one any more after hearing this guy for the first time.
EDIT: Hah! Just noticed Debarre broke a string at about 3:59. Kept going like a champ, though.
