I gave up electric for Spanish guitar.
This is virtuouso music that requires much more talent as you have no band behind you, so you must create the interest with just your own two hands.

There is, however, a great Polish guitarist who can play extremely complicated and very fast pieces by Bach on two guitars at once, and I have not seen anyone do it better. His name is Adam Fulara - he used to make funny faces, but has managed to get a handle on that, but in light of the complexity of what he plays on electric guitar, it should be expected. It's like running a marathon.

Check him out here playing Bach:
Adam Fulara - BWV 848 : Johann Sebastian Bach

Adam Fulara - BWV 847 : Johann Sebastian Bach (Without the faces and on a single neck guitar.

Now to the really hard stuff, doing something like that on a classical guitar:
Dimitris Kotranakis - Flight of the Bumblebee : Rimsky Korsakov Amazing job!

Some great female guitarists:

Li Jie - Paganini's 24th Caprice 13 year old Chinese girl.

Galina Vale playing Rachmaninoff's Prelude No. 5 Opus 23 Amazing young Ukrainian guitarist - she is an awesome performer and arranged this very complicated piano piece for the guitar herself.

Another of my favorite guitar playing ladies is Liona Boyd, but her version of "Recuerdos De La Alhambra" has disappeared from the Internet! So instead, here is Kaori Muraji - her version is also very nice:
Kaori Muraji - Recuerdos De La Alhambra : Francisco Tarrega Look up a few of these

!!!! WTF I’ve never seen guitar playing such as this! What planet am I on?!?

Granted, I once owned an album of Al Dimeola, Paco Delucia, and one other virtuoso(whose name I now forget) in concert, and I thought that those three were the acme in git’ pickin’...
