Franco Mussida above all, also for his composing abilities of creating a unique genre within a genre.
Ian Akkerman, could have been easily playing in a top band... I also feel Latimer is underrated. Very. |

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Bryan Josh springs to mind.
I'll also give a mention to Mike Oldfield as I don't think he gets the recognition he deserves as a guitar player.

Dave Kerzner is another one who gets a bit overlooked. I've been listening to his 'rock opera' New World a lot recently. Very heavily influenced by Gilmour on both guitar and vocal but does it well.

Also R. M. Tocak (Smak).
A legend in his homeland but less known internationally. Ulazak u harem (Entrance to Harem, live 1992): The same solo played 30 years later. The old man still rocks! Edited by terramystic - July 27 2023 at 03:14 |

Then I must have missed the praise for Lifeson. It's usually Peart that gets a lot of praise and Geddy performing both bass and keyboards and singing. True, Geddy is great. It seems to me some people seem to forget what a great player Alex is, he deserves more appreciation and praise IMO.

and Roman Bunka. most people don't even know his name. his death about a year ago (Jun 12th 2022) went pretty much unnoticed on this site. the guitar is on fire in this track

I'm always astonished at how little people here on PA appreciate/know the talent and skill of Pat Metheny. He's Howe, Fripp, Malmsteen, and John McLaughlin with unparalleled melodic sense and control.
Jan Akkerman, Roye Albrighton, Roy Buchanan, and Jeff Beck are all, in my opinion, grossly under-appreciated. I think that they should be in every conversation about the greatest guitar players of all-time, but they rarely are. |

Agreed. The only reason people tend to consider Alex underrated is due to the spotlight Geddy Lee and Neil Peart receive in their respective fields, but he still makes it onto numerous "best guitarist" lists and is considered a big influence in his own right

In no way are these two underrated on PA. The latter isn't even underrated by general music listeners. All three members of Rush regularly appear in Top ___ lists in publications, online comments, YouTube videos, blogs, etc.
