    Its still fun to list guitarists no harm. Also it might be

    part of forum list obsessivesness
    an act of self flagellation
    the belief that somebody might not recognize one of the greatest as such
    That we are in the twilight of the age of guitar playing, rock music even traditional music, listing them keeps that world alive for a greatly diminished audience. My teenage son who grew up in a house full of them probably could not even name or recognize a few of the great bands or a couple of players. He couldn’t even name Brian May as the guitarist from Queen which at this point unfortunately is the only band that most of his generation know from that era

    He was ranked 51st in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.

    Doesn't seem too underrated by that standard.

    Campbell recently produced Marty and the Superlatives, Way Out West. Very cool.

    I saw Marty and band with McGuinn and Hillman. They did the entire Sweathearts of the Rodeo plus a bunch more. All those guys were jaw dropping good.

    perfect fit. would love to have seen that. to say nothing of most everything i've ever heard marty do. to say nothing of that superlative band name.

    he really was the last of the genuine "nudie's western wear" attired country folks, in my book.

    They don't understand the difference between under-rated and unknown.

    And in many cases, they can't even be bothered to spell their names correctly.

    Unknown is relative. Underrated/overrated doesn't really exist. There is no guitar-o-meter.

    his mane came into my mind, but then again he is well know to fans and other musicians...as he guested on their albums...

    Relative to the market?

    The market? How about the listener? Or maybe they're one in the same?

    Tom Morello. The tones he gets out of a guitar on Rage Against the Machine are jaw-dropping.
