bathory Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 townshend is not at all underrated I think, is there anyone who doesn't think he's a great musician? definitely agree with your first 3 picks though, especially steve hillage I just think Townsend seems to go under the radar when great Rock guitarists are mentioned , I`ve always been knocked out by him when I`ve seen him live . A Steve Hillage fan !I think we have a lot in common . :D did you ever see gong live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

default236 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) I'm into djent, and with that said, Javier Reyes of Animals As Leaders is very underrated being under the shadow of someone like Tosin Abasi.

treeduck Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Danny Gatton He is underrated by the general music world, in guitar circles he's well known as the MAN though. As for me I couldn't really put someone like Danny forward when I've owned albums like 88 Elmira Street, Crusin' Deuces and New York Stories for 20 years or more, he's a well known old geezer to me... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitboaf Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Since he was called "the greatest guitarist you've never heard of", I have to mention Roy Buchanan. He played every style and every speed. Crazy talented. The video is horrible...but the playing is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkbM1M1WN0w That's what I'm talking about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonfrippy Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I also have a special place in my heart for Randy Jackson (of Zebra). :cheers: Yes! Being from New Orleans I remember Zebra from long ago. I was in junior high when they were popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CygnusGal Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I've really been enjoying Jerry Harrison lately. He's not a shredder, but his lines are so quirky and so funky. Some of his phrases and voicings are just delightful. Remain in Light, Fear of Music - stellar guitar work and I rarely see him recognized for his playing. http://youtu.be/ilcD1fHcGB0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Mountain Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I haven't read any of the preceding pages some forgive me if this has been put out there already: PRINCE Dude is a music genius and a superb guitarist.

I really like Prince. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he's always been stellar whenever I've seen him perform (I've never been to one of his shows). We probably need to stop talking about him now, or we'll get sued and he will pursue an injunction against this thread. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hatchet Pete and his micro ukulele made entirely of hardened beef jerky is by FAR the most underrated string-slinger in the known universe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Dave Gregory He's wonderful. Do you listen to Big Big Train and Tin Spirits? I recently purchased Big Big Train English Electric (Part One) and I like it very much. Very Genesis. My favorite song, so far, is "Hedgerow". Tin Spirits is next. XTC is one of my favorite bands ever and recently I've re-discovered how fabulous Dave Gregory is - I think the man can play anything on the guitar. He compliments every song he plays on perfectly. He so good you don't realize how good he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Dave GregoryI've been listening to a lot of XTC and Big Big Train lately, and he's becoming one of my favorite guitarists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
