    @LeBon Bush. I think we know these guys are great players, but in the scheme of
    who is 'really' great, a lot of these guys like you just mentioned, Jerry Reed, the common
    person would have no idea.
    Most just talk Hendrix, Clapton, Jimmy Page and the guys alike.....
    A lot of (cough) better (cough) underated players out there.
    Glen Campbell was a monster on the strings!

    I don't know if he's rated or not, but Nels Cline is very good.
    My wife loves Wilco and I have seen them several times now, and he never fails to impress

    Maybe here. But I can’t remember the last time his name came up IRL regarding great guitarists. Ever really.

    Yo,

    Dean & Robert De Leo ( Guitar & bass respectively ) from STP. Sure the band is popular, but hardly ever a mention about the virtuosity that's there...

    Johnny Winter RIP

    He may be underrated by today's standards, but in his day he was considered a guitar god. He influenced many a player including Robben Ford.

    I've always enjoyed Lenny Kaye's playing. Also Luna's Sean Eden is a nice listen and I enjoy Courtney Barnett's playing.
