Greatest modern guitarist?

Question

Yes I know who some of the greatest guitarist ever where back in the day so please don't mention those people. I think most of us already know who they are.

The question is simple, who is the greatest modern guitarist?

I know they haven't had the test of time yet to be called the GREATEST but I'd like to know who everyone thinks it is.

My opinion, Thomas Erak of "The Fall of Troy"

Watch their music video..

Reason I choose him is because the band sounds like theres two guitarists and a separate singer but it's all him. All at the same time while singing/rocking out.

"Greatest modern guitarist" doesn't necessarily mean one type of music so I'd like to see if theres anyone I'm missing.
