Anyone play guitar?

[malinoisvol]

Gary Rossington

 

[hndog609]

As a name most everyone knows that I think might still qualify as underrated is Lindsey Buckingham.

 

[SD189]

Highly rated players with a somewhat bizarre sound or style: Nels Cline, Jack White

Jack White is incredible live.

 

[ACvol3]

Thoughts on John Mayer as a guitarist? Imo, the dude can play.

 

[volinbham]

Not a household name, but ain't no slouch: Buck Dharma

Love BOC.

A free lesson!

Page IMO is great as a folk/classical/acoustic player. His electric sound is his own. His greatest skill was possibly as a producer-arranger and a writer.

Page is my GOAT in the rock-related arena.

Fantastic arranger/creator of rhythms and highly skilled (though not the best) soloist.

He's the complete package.

This song has much of his genius on display.

He’s a decent guitarist, but not a game changer.

Names that have to be somewhere:

Joe Satriani
Steve Vai
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Jeff Beck
Randy Rhodes

Absolutely agree with you. Alone with.
Zackk wyld
Dime bag Daryl.

Didn't see Steve Howe on the list (might have missed it). A frequent winner of guitarist of the year.

John Mclaughlin belongs in the virtuoso category

Underrated/unknown - Phil Keaggy

Fusion - John Goodsall (Brand X)

Rick Nielsen of CheapTrick

Leslie West

How could I forget Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew

Got all the way to page 4 w/o a prior mention of Dick Dale or The Ventures' Bob Bogle and Don Wilson. Dont'e life surf guitar? How about Hughie Thomasson?

Best on-line (YouTube) guitar instructor: Marty Schwartz (Marty Music and Guitar Jamz)

He has hundreds of free lessons from beginner to advanced. Great way to learn how to play.

 

[volinbham]

I'd say Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood are both underrated since they aren't know for soloing.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Instead of just throwing out names, you got to include a category in order to play correctly.

Thoughts on John Mayer as a guitarist? Imo, the dude can play.

He is pretty good. I saw his blues trio open for Phil Lesh 12 or 13 years ago and was surprised by how much I enjoyed the set.

Wouldn't mind having his ex girlfriend list.

Joe Walsh?

 

[Biopsyman]

Frank Zappa

He had maybe the best quote ever..

Don't eat the yellow snow

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Underated, unknown, under the radar: Stuart Baker (aka Unknown Hinson, Early Cuyler, and the Chart Topping King)

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Okay, what category do you put this in?

Joe Walsh?

He has a Maserati that does 185. But he lost his license so now he doesn't drive.

Rides in a limo. Locks all the doors in case he's attacked.

Reverend Horton Heat - all around awesome

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Most unusual collaboration: George Harrison on Cheech and Chong's Basketball Jones

BTW, also Carol King, Billy Preston, Michelle Phillips and others.

I'd say Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood are both underrated since they aren't know for soloing.

I think that Ronnie is a far better player. But Keith owns the brand. Keith has a handful of iconic licks that he created (borrowed from the old blues players). Satisfaction is right up there with Smoke on the Water as far as most famous riffs. Gimme Shelter might be the greatest Rock tune ever written.
