Dancing on the fretboard

I would say that Joscho Stephan comes VERY close to djangos phrasing and note articulation.

That's funny! I saw him last year at Lincoln Center in NYC, and I had the complete opposite impression after the concert. To paraphrase Josh, I would say that Joscho falls into that camp of modern players who emphasize speed and technique over note choice.

As far as current artists go, check out Rodolphe Raffalli - he truly has a fluid and poetic approach to the guitar.

Wow that's interesting. I'll check out Raffalli. I'm going off the little of Stephan I've seen - mainly his version of Exactly Like You on guitarplayertv. His version of Djangos Tiger (now on djangobooks) failed to impress me - I see what you're saying in that track.
