I heard something on the radio once, it was one of the worst songs I've ever heard. Turns out it was Gets Us All In The End by Jeff Beck. I thought I was doing Mr Beck a disservice by thinking that (after all, everyone says he's a great guitarist) so I went on a Youtube hunt for more of his music. I found quite a lot, but nothing I liked.

Underrated by whom?? By teenage girls?? By retired?? By metalheads?? By whom?? For instance, Randy Rhoads and Yngwie Malmsteen are underrated by teenage girls (in average), imho. Joe Pass and George Benson are underrated by metalheads, so are Allan Holdsworth and Biréli Lagrene.

Good tread. As a guitarist myself thse are my personal faves whom I fell are underappericated in general.
1. Robert Fripp (yes, outside of prog he's very underrated)
2. Michael Bloomfield (long overlooked blues rock legend)
3. Wes Montgomery (greatest jazz guitarist and one of the greatest in general)
4. David Gilmour (another underrated rock guitarist)
5. Dick Dale (Hendrix and Syd Barrent among the countless guitarists he's influenced)
Most overrated guitarist:
1. Jack White
2. Kirk Cobain

Is that the same littlle known guitarist 'David Gilmour' of the long forgotten beat combo 'Pinkus Floydus'? Are you sure you have the right thread?
I cant agree about Jack White though! Oh well I like a little rock and roll occasionally!

If we are talking about the general public, I'd add Latimer to the list. If we are talking about PA, then IDK.

I saw part of Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton Live At Madison Square Garden on TV last night, I was really impressed by Winwood's playing.

ANTHONY PHILLIPS is far too overshadowed by Steve Hackett...
Also, Roine Stolt, Alan Morse (one of my all-time favorites), and Steve Rothery.... |
