Can anyone name some underrated guitarists? A guitarist that desrves to be on top, but isn't?

Sonny Landreth, no doubt in my mind.
Check him out.

Wow! Those are some crazy guitar sounds. Eric Clapton has said he is "probably the most underestimated musician on the planet and also probably one of the most advanced."
My pick is (probably because I'm a huge RUSH fan) is Alex Lifeson. He is one of the greatest guitarists of all time, with tons of different strenths. He's rarely talked about, though.

NO **
BUT THE ANSWER IS ME! YUP! MY BAND IS CALLED LAY THE BARREL
AND I'M THE MOST UNDERRATED PLAYER OF ALL!
I'M ALSO VERY OFFENDED BY YOUR USERNAME 'jesusonguitar'
JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE SON?

I'm not anti religeos or anything, it's a nickname my friends gave me. By the way, when did you start caring about Jesus? You listen to that awful "music" called death metal, and you think slipknot and manson are actually good. And you badmouth all the forums and make fun of the greatest musicians of all time. Like you really care about Jesus.

Does Jesus approve of Slipknot?

LOL, probably not. Aparrently, they aren't satanists, but they are anti-christian, so Jesus wouldn't be too happy listening to there music.

Well Jesus wasn't Christian, he was Jewish.

True, but an anti christian is someone who aposes Jesus.

I'd say the most underrated guitarist I know of is J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr and J Mascis and the Fog. Check him out, a lot of his solos are crazy good.

Sean Costello! He has already shared stages with B.B. King, Buddy Guy, James Cotton, Pinetop Perkins, and Bo Diddley to name a few.

Leo Kottke, simply astounding music.

He's good, too. I guess you're a big fan of slide guitar, right?
