I'm pretty sure there are hidden guitarists all around the world, some may not be popular outside their own country. So, why dont we show eachother guitarists from our own country, that arent world famous.
Here are some awesome norwegian guitarists:
Bjørn Berge(Blues) - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HgxuEBESBPc&mode=related&search=
Øystein Sunde(Country, sort of) - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=sAyTP5neFiU
Vidar Busk(Blues) - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-dOfh0uJnHw
Hallgeir Pedersen(Jazz) - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=IvE-DWqPr5Q
If I can remember any more I'll add them later
Interesting idea!
I will introduce two of my favorite classical guitarists from Japan.

I believe that this guy is generally unknown across the pond

From the UK:
http://www.simeonharris.co.uk/. Great, and much underrated player.
A great guitar player whom I played with many years ago (sorry don't think he has a web presence) was Alan Limbrick - he went on to open the UK's Guitar Institute. I think nowadays he lives in Oz.
Cheers,
Tony

Here is a new band from a small city in Canada. The lead guitarist/singer and rhythm guitarist came from an acoustic guitar only band called "An Acoustic Sin." Now they are playing rock. Their CD release party is on Oct 19th and I can't wait to see the show :

um...the only ones I can think of at the moment are
Angus and Malcolm Young (AC/DC = Austrailia, Young brothers = SCOTLAND!)
and the brothers from The Darkness.
Yay, Scotland!
I like Chris Cheney from The Living End. Not necessarily the fastest guitar player alive but he comes out with some damn good sounds
Here are my favourite Norwegian guitarists:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=9p7HBDSxFmE
I'm have a odd feeling to have forgotten one, so I'll update this post if I remember when
Bjorn Berge maybe?
I know if i dont say it, Robin will.
when i was talking with my neighbour about music one day, he said that there was this incredible Jazz guitarist from here, i cant recall the name, ill do some research tho.
From my country ... its Robin ... definately. Robin on guitar was enough to make you loose your hearing ability.
Robin video: http://www.ukm.no/magasin/2007/detaljer.php?id=1273&mid=90&did=S27.12.2006-18:07:41-2012&video=90_1276_1176803204.wmv&vismedia=video
Robin is definately the Coolest Trash guitarist in the country! Enjoy ...
The guys from Bullet For My Valentine are from my hometown- not extraordinary guitar wise but they have some prety cool riffage.
Heres their new video scream, aim and fire
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoT1oRnSK88
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYZzncX-mIQ
Iced Earth - Stormrider
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSEekcm6zRs&feature=related
Iced Earth - When The Night Falls
The band itself is from my area, and Jon Schaffer is one of the greatest riff writers of all time.
Anyone heard Matti Norlin? I had a cd with him before, but it was lost somehow. Amazing live record from some pub in stockholm I think. I was never able to get it again. Anyhow I found his homepage now and it has some mp3´s on it =) Not from that record though..
This song I think was recorded live in his kitchen.. haha..
He´s a good singer too!! As you can hear he can play banjo as well.

There are only two (older generation) guitar musicians from my country that I can say that are world class, and one of them is not even my country anymore its from former yugoslavia, but I will put him on my list because he was a great influence by me when the country was still one.
1. Radomir Mihailovic Tocak (Serbia)

Hey. Very good thread. I am checking it one by one. If we think a little about it, we don't know most of the good music of the world just because of the language. Here we can show each other.
I am a brazilian and I will start by one that I name amongst my favorite 5 guitarists: Augusto Licks (former Engenheiros do Hawaii). A guy that has licks even on the name can´t suck right? He worked on every and each part of the song seeking perfection. And he did a perfect fit for the lyrics . He could go from electric: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TMh-ccDv_Y to a perfect blend to an orchestra: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoF8GB7xXp0 . It is such a pity he is not playing anymore.
Kiko Loureiro (Angra) - though I guess he is world famous?- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLKEhP4QuIY
Edgard Scandurra (Ira) - quite hard to play his riffs because he is left handed - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SqRTQNbu_A
Eduardo Ardanuy ( Dr. Sin ) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzUoZtcTYSI
Armandinho, playing a modification of guitar that we call guitarra baiana http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDnECo8Fzjs
And finally, the guy I was taking classes: Bruno Albuquerque ( . This video won a 30 second contest by guitar factory Tagima: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDK_c7jpUJA . And he playing instrumental rock(he composed): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuA5k1bsi4g
I'm like mutch this CZECH Guy he can play almost everything and he also create music and musical
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib0NMNXELTk
and here is something totaly diferent ->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoyxfoPfwDg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvBlc5t_HfA
Stefan Elmgren Hammerfall
Joakim Jonsson Axenstar
Karl Landin and Rickard Petterson Moonlight agony
