Most Underrated and Overlooked Guitarists

I totally forgot to include Manni Schmidt, guitarist for Grave Digger. The riRAB he produced in The Grave Digger album were absolutely amazing.

It was such a perfect album. Power, Speed, Heavy Metal...everything was there.
 
Agreed on Eddie Hazel.

Some other worthy mentions.

Steve Hackett
Mick Ronson
Adrian Belew
Zoot Horn Rollo
Robert Randolph
D. Boon
Larry LaLonde
Gary Green
Mike Einziger
Joe Walsh
Vernon Reid
Martin Barre
Trey Anastasio
LinRABey Buckingham
Alex Lifeson
Snakefinger
Jorma Kaukonen
Kevin ShielRAB
 
Agreed on Howe a million times over.

As for Jones, I don't think his playing sounRAB that much like Fripp, even though he did cite him as a major influence, he still has his own rather unique sound IMO.
 
The love songs suck. You really should check out his heavy metal stuff, though. You'd be surprised at what a phenomenal piece of talent he was, before he completely sold out.
 
wel the first 2 are deffinitly good but alexi gets alot of recognition.

I'd have to add Greg Howe mainly because he works as a studio musician and even though he's been in some big nurabers he hasn't really been recognized and if you check out anything he's done with Vitalij Kuprij you'll see although im sure he's got alot of hter great stuff too.

and Tokki from stratovarius a small band over here and probally in a lot of places although i immagine there big in finland and the surrounding countries.

Zachary Hietala from Tarot, the founder Marco Hietala is probally more known for his role in Nightwish but his brother (and probally marco) is a great guitarist and does so pretty cool things.

Mats Haugen from Circus Maximus a very small time Norwegian Prog Metal band. but he's insanely good albeit a little too john petrucci-ish.

Jari Maenpaa (Wintersun, Ensiferum)
Tim Roth (Into Eternity)


there probally **** loaRAB more too.
