The mention of Goodsall reminds me of another underrated guitarist - Bill Connors!

I certainly agree with Martin Barre and Andy Latimer, but I also think Roine Stolt is a terrific and well-rounded guitar player who is underrated (I had the pleasure of meeting him and he is also a very nice fellow)

Gary Green? don't know if he is under-appreciated in general but i rarely hear him mentioned 

and absolutely agree with everybody has mentioned Martin Barre i've listened to a Passion Play a lot this week and each listen his often very subtle but brilliant guitar playing is what makes parts of it so brilliant especially on Side 1

Also saw Mike Rutherford mentioned which is a really good call his guitar playing on The Musical Box is one of my favourite parts of the song. And also the way he played on the Duke album i have always loved.

My own personal bias, I know, but, for me, Steve Rothery of Marillion.

The band proved they could prosper without Fish, but they would be finished without this great guitarist who is, to me and many others, the heart and soul of my favourite band.

I think 'Bill Frisell' is extremely underrated. He is the very epitome of 'it doesn't need to be insanely fast to be really good'

Phil Manzanera (Roxy, BEno, Quiet Sun, 801, Explorers, Solo, David Gilmour) ... always been a big Manz fan since the first Roxy album. One of those "effortless" guitarists who just plays without all the flashmanship.
 
Francis Lickerish (The Enid, Secret Green) and Steven Stewart (The Enid) - great pairing of guitarist on the first four Enid albums - the epitome of "orchestral" guitar playing.
 
Nick Barrett  (Pendragon) - an understated guitarist who can cover a range of styles without being intrusive.
 
Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree, IEM, solo)  - not the greatest guitarist in the world (or even Hertfordshire come to that) and perhaps lacking a distinctive style but as a Psyche guitarist he's pretty good.
What?

Good pic Laz.  I'm not the world's biggest Marillion fan but both Rothery and Trewewas (sp?) are stand-up players who aren't mentioned often.

I don't know why Phil didn't come to mind right away.  Another influential one for me.  Also Anthony Phillips if anyone hasn't mentioned him yet.

Live, believe it or not, Justin Hayward can actually shred.
I also nominate Anthony Phillips (overshadowed by Hackett, of course).

I've been watching my Magma DVDs recently and have been impressed with the contributions of James MacGaw.  He takes a bit of a back seat in the overall sound but it was an eye opener to me to see the performances and the contribution he was making.

Well you might wanna know that Ozric Tenacles were influenced by Gong who had one of the most underrated(If not most) guitarists in Steve Hillage.
 
Wow when i 1st got introduced to him,i was like Wowww.
 
Look i've listened to Jeff Beck,Eddie Van Halen,Jimi Hendrix which i was impressed enough
 
But
 
When i started listening to Steve Hillage,i'm ohh my gosh,this guy takes(Literally) you out of this world and into outer space!!!
 
It's like he can do the keyboards on guitar,plus woww his guitar sounds carry far away
 
Honestly the most Psycedelic and Trippy guitar sound i've experienced.
 
Here's some samples
 
Castle in the Clouds by Gong
 
The Glorious Om Riff by Steve Hillage
 
Cool

Peter Banks - under-appreciated guitarist?    Yes!
 
Loving the album cover pun
 
Has anybody mentioned Pye Hastings yet?
The solos on Nine Feet that aren't organ (though it is hard to tell with Caravan's production) are awesome.

I'll second this. He was one of my biggest influences when I was first learning to play.
