Ancient Ways Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Don felderPlenty of eagles haters on the board but there is no denying the guy has a great melodic sense and a great set of chops that cover multiple styles/genres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 I feel like lifeson, howe, and hackett are underrated in general, but on the rush forum? certainly not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 He's not doing much these days, but John Christ from Danzig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Clapton, page, etc get all the love but Jeff beck is pretty crazy. I know he's well known but I still don't think he gets the love he deserves. I think the reason was he never really put out commercial material so he's still a bit unknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 If we're talking "underrated" guitarists, as opposed to "guitarists in bands I like who aren't household names," I'd have to say Andy Taylor. After he left Duran Duran, his work in The Power Station, with Robert Palmer on Riptide, and his early solo stuff showed how good he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enemy Within 77 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 He's not doing much these days, but John Christ from Danzig.Excellent pick! The first four albums are amazing and John never gets any credit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 What about Kerry Livgren he did some fairly tasty stuff up to a certain level and he's mainly known as song-writer, keyboard dude... What about Ronnie Montrose? Nothing amazing but great riffs and songs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 He's not doing much these days, but John Christ from Danzig.Excellent pick! The first four albums are amazing and John never gets any credit. Excellent riffs and really tasteful solos, the guy was awesome. Also glad you said first four. I know people who think 4 sucks, but it's my second favorite after III and a big reason for that is John's playing on that album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Duio Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Aside from Alex Lifeson? Larry La Londe of PrimusMarty Freedman of old, good, MegadethJamie West-Oram from The FixxJim Mogine from the OilsJohn Petrucci from Dream Theater*          *Just kidding :laughing guy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 He's not doing much these days, but John Christ from Danzig.Excellent pick! The first four albums are amazing and John never gets any credit. The reason John Christ doesn't get any credit is because Glen Danzig wrote everything on the first four albums. Yes, John did a great job with bringing the music to life but it's hard to get credit of any kind when you don't write the material you perform.

Those are his three strongest solo efforts. Black Sheets Of Rain came out just before he formed Sugar, and sounds very Sugar like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
