mandan: Underrated Guitarists

mandan 02.25.12	A lot more deserve credit, but this is mostly a starter list.
Trebor. 02.25.12	How is 4 underrated?
Scoot 02.25.12	most of these are properly rated navarro is overrated as fuck
jdennis31 02.25.12	Joseph Dennis Jon Gomm
mandan 02.25.12	I like Navarro, but I can see why people would dislike him. He's not easy to get into.
Scoot 02.25.12	he also has a massive undeserved ego
KjSwantko 02.25.12	navarro is pretty bad. I remember watching a video where he didn't know how to solo outside of pentatonic
jdennis31 02.25.12	^sadly i bet that's like 50% of guitarists
Scoot 02.25.12	wtf where's jarzombek
mandan 02.25.12	^yeah, I need to fix that. I'll include Jarzombeck in a more appropiate, longer list.
mandan 02.25.12	#5 was glitched, fixed it.
jdennis31 02.25.12	eric johnson
TheNotrap 02.25.12	Props for Chris DeGarmo, underrated indeed.
KjSwantko 02.25.12	was Chris the one in the Eyes of a Stranger video with the cool top hat on during the solo?
TheNotrap 02.25.12	Don't remember the vid but probably yes.
DominionMM1 02.25.12	A fair amount of these guys aren't underrated at all.
wacknizzle 02.25.12	Alex Lifeson's very underrated.
Scoot 02.25.12	hardly there's so many fans of rush in the world, almost all of whom consider him to be the most underrated guitarist in the world he's not underrated
WhiteNoise 02.25.12	Needs more Chris Cheney.
ncguitar 02.25.12	I'm with you on 3, 6 & 10. But then, there are a zillion guitar players who are geniuses and are better/more enjoyable than Kirk Hammett and Yngwie Malmsteen, but don't get much love.
ncguitar 02.25.12	SLASH
Scoot 02.25.12	lol @ synyster gates
ncguitar 02.25.12	oh syn's talented as fuck, he can, like, sweep and do cool stuff with his wanky bar
Thane 02.26.12	ben monder nick reinhart
wacknizzle 02.26.12	Kurt Ballou
ChuckyTruant 02.26.12	Totally agree with on Alex Lifeson wacknizzle
KjSwantko 02.26.12	SYNYSTER GATES HAS HIS OWN CUSTOM GUITAR YOU CAN BUY, HE'S GOOD.
sniper 02.26.12	lil wayne
Scoot 02.26.12	alexi laiho
wacknizzle 02.26.12	I saw The Appleseed Cast once and the guitar player didn't even look like he was playing anything but all these sweet riffs came out. He was like fucking Houdini. Does not looking like your playing but playing sick riffs count as underrated?
sniper 02.26.12	idk i feel like most of these are more like unknown than underrated.
SpiritCrusher2 02.26.12	Kurt Ballou [2]
Cutsman8x 02.26.12	Alexi Laiho [2] lol and I fucking love Ritchie Blackmore.
VlacDrac 02.26.12	Needs more: King Buzzo Wata Chris Kelly Greg Anderson
BadgerOverdose 02.26.12	Guthrie Govan
BadgerOverdose 02.26.12	Also Ben Weinman
sixthgoldenticket 02.26.12	needs more d. boon and elliott smith.
MuhNamesTyler 02.26.12	Ricky. Helton. Wilson.
iambandersnatch 02.26.12	navarro has some solid stuff on albums but he can't improvize in lives (as someone mentioned up there) worth a damn
mandan 02.26.12	Slash and Synyster Gates are both overrated IMO. @jdennis31: Yes, Johnson's a favourite. Hard to place him as underrated, seeing that he's often with the G3.
AngelofDeath 02.26.12	Michio Kurihara
Ire 02.26.12	jimi hendrix
AngelofDeath 02.26.12	I genuinely think Jimi is an underrated songwriter.
Ire 02.26.12	same but i think the production and drumming are pretty overshadowed
AngelofDeath 02.26.12	Yeah, always loved the production on his albums. And the drumming on Electric Ladyland is pretty solid for its time.
tarkus 02.26.12	michio and jimi m/
pedro70512 02.26.12	1 and 2 are my favorites, and definitely get overlooked since they competed with Paige and Maiden's guitarists, respectively. Props.
Urinetrouble 02.26.12	Ben Weinman The Fang Island guys The Adebisi Shank guys Josh Homme
mandan 02.27.12	Homme's pretty cool. I really should listen to more QOSTA.
Palimpsest 03.22.12	Most of these guys are fairly well known and respected. I mean, Uli John Roth played at G3. Try these on for starters: • Scott Mishoe • Derek Taylor • Taka Minamino • Kelly Simonz • Nguyen Le These are guys that practically no one has heard of!
oltnabrick 05.12.14	• • • • • • • agreed with the whole list
