hehe.. seriously I don't think there is any best guitarist in the world nor even in Malaysia.. all these really down to preference....
so it is more about what u like.. and it is hard to compare to guitarists like Steve Vai and Yngwie when both are totally different type of guitarists. hehe

but i will say for local.. I prefer a few great players here
Sham Kamikaze
Man Kidal
Zack Kim....
and Johan which is my friend as well...

i think there are still alot of hidden "big things" here.. juz nvr get to see them.. and recently we get to know one of the "big thing".. hisham aka samtriggy..

tHere are really alot of hidden great guitarist out there....

jus look at this uncle
I bet many of u dunno him... i nvr even heard of his name before but juz look at the way he plays
it pawns ....
