Will Kimbrough. Nashville-based. Plays with Rodney Crowell and Todd Snider. Unbelievable guitarist. I'd stack him up against anybody on the list already.
Tommy

freddy koella /thread

I think Ronnie is underrated.
But has anyone mentioned Lou Reed or Alex Chilton?

How can you be underated when 90 percent of the guitarist listed here have been on covers of guitar magazines.

Yes, in fact. One of the great losses of Rock history. The split of Free, too. What a great band!

Bobby & Cecil Womack

Nick Curran

David T. Walker

Roy Gaines

Johnny Guitar Watson

Roy Nichols

Reggie Young

Danny Gatton?

To me Adam Green of Saint Jude is highly underrated. Listen to Saint Jude´s "Diary of a Soul Fiend" CD and you´ll know what I mean.
Passed away way too early (someone must have called…), but before that he stood on stage with Mr. Ronnie at the 100 Club in London.
He sounded a bit Keith-ish, though…

Cheers, Fillmore

Mick Taylor and Keith Richards

Mick Taylor (apart from his fans )
Walter Trout ditto
Peter Bruntnell ditto
Danny Bryant ditto
Carvin Jones ditto
Tal Wilkenfeld (apart from her fans )
Orianti (ditto )

All these have their own websites so anyone can see how good these guys and gals are.

There were a few I was going to mention, but all have thier supporters.
But George Harrison has to be the best candidate for a truly underrated guitarist.
Overshadowed by the entire Beatles phenom, inconography and overall musical brilliance, etc..that its easy to just take him for granted.
I was listening to Beatles (65-68) and the guitar work is fantastic, the way he and John played off each other was part of that - but George was doing some really imaginitive, melodic, original work on those records.
Like on She Said, or And Your Bird Can Sing, Dear Prudence, Nowhere Man....
and the really early stuff, those great lines on songs like Im a Loser, Hard Day's Night....
Sure, he's got fans, but when people talk about the Beatles, they're talking about the BEATLES as a whole. And when they talk about great guitarists, they're talking about the usual suspect lead players like Clapton, Beck etc...
This thread just inspired me to watch the Scorsese documentary.

I always remember in the '60's back in U.K. ,George Harrison was a regular winner of the NME (New Musical Express ), best guitarist award.

That was in the day's of Jimi, Eric, Jeff and Peter Green all around at the time.

Probably won because Beatles and Stones were the big bands then and Brian Jones not appreciated as a great musician.
Obviously another name who in his lifetime not appreciated, apart from his fans.

Barry Finnerty.

JJ Cale

Montrose or is that Sammy Hagar all on guitar, I hear that band praised some time...

Rick Derringer too, "all American Boy" is suppose to really be good.

JIMMIE VAUGHAN !!

Drake Levin, nice solo, 1965:





"was one of the first rock records to feature a distinctive, double-tracked guitar solo by guitarist Drake Levin."

[en.wikipedia.org]

Some classic rock stations play this.

Cipollini? With Quicksilver. That was some great guitar playing on Happy Trails.

I was very lucky to see Free, as an opening act for Blind Faith (& Delaney & Bonnie).

Brian Jones.

Mick Jagger

Robbie Robertson of the Band. Not a fan of the man personally after reading Levons book. Great guitarist though and he's not mentioned nearly enough.

Oh yeah? Big Dave Mclean from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada.

It's still John Lennon...
