Good call on Justin Hayward back there; most often celebrated for his vocals and songwriting, but he could play some real tasty guitar. 

Ok, how 'bout Pye Hastings? 

You're right. Andy is actually a really good, if unorthodox, player. Excellent ear for strange voicings and beautiful dissonance. He and Dave together created some pure six string magic.

NP: Adagieto from EOS

I would think that two very special guitarists deserve a mention here, for their work, although for the most part I am not sure that most people can handle it ... these are strong, weird and further out in left field kind of position.

John Weinzierl - AD2 ... no one could use effects and placed an amazing sound in such incredible spots within the music. And he could also improvise from here to Pluto and back. Witness YETI, the main piece in the album, which is stated to be an improvisation!

Ax Genrich - Guru Guru first several albums. I picked up his 3 solo albums, because I thought this guy would be interesting and off his rock'er! Yep .. he is that and then some. But for sheer insanity and sound and noise, no one could come close to what he did on the first Guru Guru albums, and how 2 of those pieces are still played today left and right.

Have you ever heard Eddy Marron of Dzyan? You might dig that.

I am sure he isn't under appreciated by fans of the band,
But Ian Crichton of Saga is fantastic.
He may surprise  a few folks, if they heard him.
Shake & bake.

of course you are...  but tricky b*****d you are...  that is a trick question.

Isn't meeting an orthadonist with a strong oral fixation like in the top 5 male fantasies ie bucketlists of ever hot blooded male. 

ie there are no under-appreciated orthodontists..

This may or may not qualify, but has anyone mentioned David Sancious?
He really tore it up on Sky Church Hymn #9.
And, he's primarily a keyboard player!

Others Already mentioned:
Phil Manzanera
Dave Bainbridge

Fantastic suggestion, thanks!!  You are right, he is fantastic!  

I have fond memories of when this song was on constant rotation on AM radio in the States, good times!

I forgot to add:
David Torn (His work with David Sylvian on Secrets of the Beehive is sublime).

Sorry to post an add on.

I was watching T-Mac (Tony Macalpine) on youtube yesterday and thought if there was ever an under appreciated galaxy class guitarist it has to be him....

He's a real class act on keyboards too btw.

WARNING - This band (Special EFX) is labeled as the dreaded 'smooth jazz'.  So if the sound of that is like finger nails on a chalk board you best move to the next post.  I've posted this clip a couple of times on the archives because the guitarist Chieli Minucci, possesses that degree of talent that qualifies him (imo) as an 'under-appreciated guitarist'.  This is a promotional clip so it is chopped up a bit but most of his guitar playing is intact.

I gotta throw out props for Pete Cosey, who sided for Miles Davis fro '73 through '75. His work on 1975's Agharta in particular is stunning.

I am one of those jazz snobs who loves to poo-poo smmoth jazz, but there are exceptions, and Minucci is one of them. I recently picked up his Genesis album, and it is a very positive testament to the genre.

A lot of them mentioned... being myself a guitarist I'd say following are underappreciated. Not just guitar technique, but overall composition talent and attitude.

Francis Dunnery - It Bites
Trevor Rabin - Yes
Brett Kull - Echolyn
John Michtell - Arena
Markus Steffen - Sieges Even
Arjen Lucassen - Ayreon
Ian Crichton - Saga
Patrik Lundstrom - Ritual
Kurdt Vanderhoof - Presto Ballet
Peter Hesslein - Lucifer's Friend
Mick Rogers - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Some 12 string magic sometimes too! Thumbs Up

John 'Charlie' Whitney of Family/ Streetwalkers

Was thinking about mentioning Phil Miller (RIP)
Good call on Charlie Whitney too. Family are a bit under-appreciated in general. 
New album!

Chris Fry is the obvious one . I've seen Magenta live 4 times and he is always brilliant.

Also a 'vote' for Dave Kilminster who has worked with Keith Emerson and Roger Waters so he must be doing something right!
