Hi,
I can't make out a favorite, because there are so many different things out there and the way some of these folks play is just too good and far out. Here's my list of some folks I can listen to anywhere including my death bed! )In no specific order) Jan Akkerman (Focus) Michael Karoli (Can) Robby Krieger (The Doors) (remember he mostly did this with just a drummer and voice!) John Weinzierl and Chris Karrer (Amon Duul 2) Charles Whitney (Family/Streetwalkers) Tony McPhee (Groundhogs) Roye Albrighton (Nektar) Jeff Beck Edited by moshkito - February 06 2024 at 03:28 |

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

For me, the standard for progressive music are ones I consider all-time greats, most of whom are underappreciated by the public in general but well appreciated in prog and fusion circles:
Steve Howe Robert Fripp Steve Hackett Steve Morse Jeff Beck Pat Metheny John McLaughlin Larry Coryell Alan Holdsworth Al Dimeola, to name some major ones. A selection of guitarists who are incredible but way underknown includes: David Torn Roine Stolt Rikard Sjöblom John Goodsall Dewa Budjana Nick Barrett Peter Maunu Edited by RockHound - February 05 2024 at 12:28 |

I would also include Steve Unruh in the underappreciated category.

- Alex Lifeson (except on progressive circuits, he is a very underrated guitarist) - Steve Rothery (despite having some truly inspired solos, he often seems to be invisible to the general public) - Andy Latimer (never seen in any count of valuable guitarists, another invisible one) - Piotr Grudzinski (incredibly good, his work on "Out of Myself" and "Second Life Syndrome" on Riverside is superb) RIP - Franco Mussida (the Italian from PFM did not transcend much despite his great quality) Bonuses - Jeff Beck (recognized among his peers and by some specialized media, but never by the general public) - Rory Gallagher Edited by Hector Enrique - February 16 2024 at 14:25 |
