Big clappies for mentions such as Roye Albrighton and Steve Morse. Clap If the former can produce jaw-dropping solos like on Good Day, the latter is one of the most versatile guitarists I've heard.
Great to see the great Gary Moore receiving some recognition, despite the fact he is not what we would call prog.

If Steve Morse was in Spock's Beard, they'd be well-known outside the prog community. Big smile

Oh god thats embarrassing.  *Alan* Morse Embarrassed
2nd embarrasment, I guess in your original sentence you meant NEAL Morse where you put Steve (Alan you had already mentioned as the underrated one, which I fully agree with) LOL

Bill Nelson is not only an underated prog guitarist, he's an underated musician all round. In any kind of just universe he would be a mega-star of U2-humbling proportions

Very much agreed. Talking with Cipher (the two piece,Theo Travis and Dave Sturt) after their  interesting  gig at Nottingham's Contemporary last Tuesday , when they revealed having recently played with Bill Nelson at some form of reunion concert. When I asked whether Nelson was still heavily into keyboards, they told me the guitar is definitely to the fore once more.

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 don't know about underated but Adrian Belew is often over-looked in my opinion

U.A.? That would be Mr. Anthony Phillips. Everyone always seems to be googoo over Hackett and what he did for Genesis.  Due to fault of his own (leaving Genesis). The Geese and the Ghost, Sides and recently "Slow Dance pt.1". He plays with such incredible feeling that he IS one with his guitar. youtube has him doing "The Reaper". Listen and tell me that is not one of the most impressive acoustic guitar pieces you've ever heard.

I'm sooo confused lol. Neal is a friggin' prodigy. We give him the middle finger solute evertime we listen to Solo scriptora etc etc etc. Alan does a fantastic job on "At the End of the Day"  shoot, cannot recall name of live album.. double.

Absolutely agree with Hodgson! Very not mentioned! What a pair he and Rick Davies were. Any Tramp song that they both had vocals in were wonderful.

I thought my replies would be by what I replied to. Not trying to over do it but I have one more that hasn't been mentioned nor if any of you have or have heard....
 
Guitarist for "Ain Soph" A Story of Mysterious Forest.
 
I highly recommend and suggest if you can get your hands on any of their albums. All instrumental.

Heh!  Good choices!!  STEVE Morse (of Dixie Dregs, Steve Morse Band & Deep Purple) is easily one of the best guitarists I've ever seen, highly recommended!

Daryl Stuermer, who played with Jean-Luc Ponty & then live with Genesis, is another amazing guitarist who hasn't been mentioned.  He is much better than Rutherford on the 6 sting IMHO, and Genesis should have had DS record with them.

John Goodsall is just beyond....check out his newest material on his MySpace and Facebook pages!  

And, don't forget some of the up & coming bands, such as Scale The Summit....they channel the gamelan-guitar style of Discipline-era Fripp & Belew!  http://www.myspace.com/scalethesummit

Oh crap!  Did anyone mention JOHN PETRUCCI??

The late Shawn Lane
 
 
 
Paul Bielatowicz from the Carl Palmer Band and the european Neal Morse band (DVD Sola Scriptura) is also a very fine guitarist.
 
John Mitchell from Arena, great sense of melody and dynamics.
