Someone said Bill Nelson, which makes me very happy. Also, I don't think Buck Dharma of Blue Oyster Cult gets enough love. He's one of the reasons I started playing the guitar in the first place, along with Brian May (but he's not underrated).

Steve Hillage. On this site he's known somewhat, but the fact that I could go through life never meeting someone into Steve Hillage in person just isn't right.

ANTHONY PHILLIPS is far too overshadowed by Steve Hackett...
Also, Roine Stolt, Alan Morse (one of my all-time favorites), and Steve Rothery....

I saw part of Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton Live At Madison Square Garden on TV last night, I was really impressed by Winwood's playing.

If we are talking about the general public, I'd add Latimer to the list. If we are talking about PA, then IDK.

Good tread. As a guitarist myself thse are my personal faves whom I fell are underappericated in general.
1. Robert Fripp (yes, outside of prog he's very underrated)
2. Michael Bloomfield (long overlooked blues rock legend)
3. Wes Montgomery (greatest jazz guitarist and one of the greatest in general)
4. David Gilmour (another underrated rock guitarist)
5. Dick Dale (Hendrix and Syd Barrent among the countless guitarists he's influenced)
Most overrated guitarist:
1. Jack White
2. Kirk Cobain |
Is that the same littlle known guitarist 'David Gilmour' of the long forgotten beat combo 'Pinkus Floydus'? Are you sure you have the right thread? 
I cant agree about Jack White though! Oh well I like a little rock and roll occasionally!
