Bill Connors who played on early Return To Forever as well As the first Stanley Clarke album
He really could play and brought a bad ass rock sound to some of those pioneering fusion albums |

Phil Upchurch. He played with many artists and bands as a session guitarist. I think I know him from the Rotary Connection. I have two fine solo albums by him (Upchurch and Darkness Darkness) in a very nice soul jazz style. Here is a James Brown cover by him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbSlkluhWms
I don't have many favourite guitarists, because I usually just enjoy guitar in general and also I'm not into typical virtuoso style playing. I wouldn't know any favourite prog rock guitarists. My favourites overall are Jimi Hendrix and Grant Green, but they are not under-appreciated.

Excellent selection! When I first started to play lead guitar, I used to jam along with Bill on Stanley Clarke's first solo LP, it was great fun! Check out this amazing RTF tune!! Bill BURNS on this one! Edited by cstack3 - April 19 2020 at 23:30 |

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

How is he overlooked? He's in one of the most famous, mainstream bands at the moment.

Chris Fry (Magenta). A very versatile and adaptable player. He combines many different sounds and styles throughout the band’s music.

Where I'm from Muse is often overlooked. Not that people don't know a song or two of theirs, but they don't recognize the name until you mention Madness or Uprising, and even then it's like a vague recollection like "oh yeah, I remember that song, it's pretty good." I guess around a prog forum Muse are pretty well known, but in my world they're really not that well known. But if we're talking about under-appreciated guitarists, I don't think Matt really gets his due credit most of the time, even online. Even where Muse are well recognized, I see most of the praise go to Chris Wolstenholme's bass or Matt's songwriting, but not very much to his guitar skills.
