Favorite "Underrated" guitar player

Who is your favorite underrated guitar player? Guitarists that are'nt necessarily recognized as great guitar players:

I think of guys like Joe Walsh, Prince, Jack White. I'll think of some more.

me! Michael Sweet from Stryper and the other guitarist

Joe Walsh is a great guitarist. check out "funk #49" a great guitar song.

AAAh!!! im tired of this type of threads. Greatest this and that.

I love Funk#49.

Guthrie Govan

Paco Peña



thats just crazily good

woot for michael sweet, hes in boston now, woot! allen collins, randy is underrated but not as much as allen, mark knolfer also.

Guthrie is badd ass! That's right up my alley Jazz. He sounds kinda like Greg Howe. Tone and style. I will be checking him out. What's the name of that track?

I don't know if he's underrated, maybe just not well known: Omar Rodriguez-Lopez.

That reminds me. Tom Scholz.

newton faulkner. very good musician.

Luther Perkins.

tom scholz i have full respect for (an i think hes jewish, along with knofer which is an extra bonus, im jewish too) but he just isnt that good, especially his solo time, all he does is taps. pisses me off b/c he is better then tht.

what on earth was i thinking? Mick Thomson and Jari Maenpaa!

Rogers Stevens is the lead guitarist for Blind Melon. He's pretty bad ass, if you watch any of their videos he does some nasty leads.

Joe Perry and David Gilmour

there not underrated. gilmour definatly, perry, MAYBE, not gilmour.

Mike McCready from Pearl Jam.

Kurt Cobain.

Couldn't play actual chords, but his solos were top notch.

Bradley Nowell

Innovation goes a long way.

Jeff Tweedy and Nels Cline.

Too bad Brad died. VIVA LA SUBLIME!

I dont really think a lot of these count as under rated...

Paul Kossoff (featured in my avatar) of Free and Back street crawler.

Also check out Mick Ronson who was with Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust days.

Both players had their own unique styles and both never seemed to show up on radar.

ME!ME!!ME!!!

Underated meaning known but not known as a "Great" guitar player. Michael Schenker (UFO), John Denver, Charo?

Not really, he admitted he couldnt play solos. Most of his solos were simple and followed the vocal melody.

Are you talking about the guitarist/singer for Sublime?

curt kobain just sucks. not underrated, overrated.

While I wouldn't say I like Cobains music, I wouldn't say he sucks. Made his own music which was pretty unique. If I had to choose I'd take Cobain over almost all of the bands now.

pete townshend

Hmm..... so many. But out of all of the underrated players, my favorite underrated player would probably Don Felder. He has some very cool melodic lines.

PETE TOWNSHEND
thanks mars

GO YOURSELF ASS HOLE

mine would have to be Neal Schon from santana and journey.

yes!!!!! neal schon!!!! he is amazing. his new stuff is very much like rhoads. i went to the journy concert. he ws amazing.

either tommy emanuel or steve kimmock. Youtube them they are brilliant.

Brian May of Queen is pretty badass too.

Yeah. But I like Queen for Mercury's musical brilliance, he plays piano and sings like an immortal being.

Marco Sfogli.



Nuff said.

Duncan Black:



A very talented musician, and has some amazing melodic phrases.
