Who are the most underrated guitarists?

Buddy Miller. Saw him in the 90s with Emmylou live, great understated player. His duet albums with his wife are so cool. The dual self titled one has some great, to me, guitar playing. And he is an excellent producer. I've seen him a couple of times on his own and he's great. But, kind of like XTC i wish he'd jam a little more. He's more of Keith Richards type i think. Great player.

 

Joe Walsh

 

I haven’t seen all the posts but:

Lindsey Buckingham

 

Willie Johnson (from Memphis, played with Howlin' Wolf early on)

 

I would say Nils Lofgren is a bit undervalued as a guitarist and an artist. Being the proud owner of his tremendous box set(one of the best ever)and following him since the beginning his skills as a guitarist are amazing both when it comes to technical virtuosity, invenivness and expression. Imo he is up there with the very best. Also a great singer, a great songwriter and entertainer. A true legend.

 

Michael Monarch and Ron Morgan.

 

Rich Robinson.

Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins.

 

Don' forget Nash!

 

That guy looks like King Buzzo's long lost cousin

 

Carter Stanley
Chris Dreja
John Head
Dick Taylor
Earl Hooker
Johnny Echols
Mike Deasy

 

Paul Cotton (Poco)

 

Paul can play fer sure. So can his mate from Illinois Speed Press, Kal David.

 

Sir Jim Martin (FNM)

 

.... and Jimmy Ripp
..... and Richard Lloyd

 

Man his action is high.

 

I’ve been recently listening to a lot of Spirit and I think the great Randy California is generally underrated, but perhaps not on this forum.

 

Ross Hannaford

 

Laurie Wisefield (Wishbone Ash)
Andy Powell (Wishbone Ash)
George Kooymans (Golden Earring)
Gary Green (Gentle Giant)
Isaac Guillory
Mike Campbell

 

Shame he hasn't got a clue of how to remaster the Cocteau Twins' catalogue though!

 

He's so great.
