Name a guitarist

short nova
#

Buddy Whittington - for those in the know he isn’t underrated I don’t guess but he needs to be more widely known and celebrated. An absolute MONSTER guitarist.

And as for Ty Tabor, he was/is? guitarist for Kings X. His solo albums are killer as well.

I think Tommy Vetterli of Coroner deserves more appreciation. His stuff on both Mental Vortex and Grin is really, really nice.

Malcolm Young of AC/DC

Mike Einziger from incubus

Wrote some really creative stuff that I think is very underrated

Chris Cornell, most people commend him for his singing, and yeah he has like the most beautiful voice of any grunge singer, but he had some amazing guitar skills too

#

I’ll add Mick Mars too

#

Nobody seems to really mention how good his riffs are

#

A great example of how good a guitarist is when they’re the only guitarist in the band

Eh I wouldn’t say he’s underrated, plenty of people regard him as a really good guitarist

but to be fair it's the same for other guitar legends like vai and its even lower for paul gilbert

#

We’re not talking about how popular they are as a solo artists because then you can pretty much say a majority of solo artist guitarists are underrated because I don’t think the mainstream is really gonna enjoy their music too much

rigid idol
floral arrow
#

Those are the bands not the guitarists

#

That’s why I said solo guitarists

#

Like guitarists as solo artists

#

Anyways I’m 99% sure when we say “underrated guitarists” in here we mean guitarists that aren’t really as recognized in the guitar world or just in general

#

Not like just from bands or as solo acts

#

So I can’t really say someone like SRV is underrated just because him and his band don’t have as much listeners as Guns n Roses

rigid idol
#

i personally consider my father's uncle's cousin's son to be way more skilled in any way imaginable than any of these guitarists. in fact he is so skilled i must limit the ammount of times i can listen to him per month or else my body will trascend to another state of being and leave this mortal plane. THAT'S how good he is. he also only lets a select number of people he handpicks to listen and he cannot record his work because the microphones realise their existence is mundane and lame and they end up setting themselves on fire. in fact his guitar was made out of the most exquisite materials there are with names so complicated my tongue would form a knot if i was to dare to pronounce them. There is no need for an amp the tone creates and amplifies itself out of the sheer respect it has for the man.

I agree

#

me whenever slash touches a guitar:

#

People hate on him too much

#

I think it’s cause people associate him with 13 year old fanboys playing Sweet Child O Mine at Guitar Center that they just like to hate on him

#

Thing is many of the riffs and solos he wrote during that time was when he was basically an alcoholic and drug user

I have one for you.
I'm probably still too new to post in the “other song suggestions” channel, so I'll use this one, I hope that's ok.
Underrated because few people know him: Dylan Fowler.

A guitarist from Wales who played with Dominic Miller in 1980, among others.
(Dominic Miller now Playin with Sting)

I saw him around 2002 when he played his album “ffynnon ofor”.
I was very young at the time, but I still haven't forgotten the soundscapes he created.

Recently videos have appeared on You tube that show very clearly how he creates his sound.

I would like to start with his own composition:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW7zbcYyJdg

He has created an interpretation of the song Albatross, which for me is just as good as Steve Wonder's Superstition as Jeff Back's Superstition.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaxYJYiyGIc

Finally, I would like to present another of his own compositions, which for me brings out Fowler's sound and style beautifully.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p645BHG2B0w

I would like to recommend everyone who is just as enthusiastic about the music so far to listen to the album “ffynnon ofor” - that's hot shit

my wife made a bucket head puppet, we managed to get near the stage entrance and because of the puppet she snagged some kinetic sand from the sack.

#

That was when he was playing with Madeline, and I can't remember the name of the bass player but he was out of this world. We managed to get the puppet to the bass player so hopefully someone somewhere was given that from the sack
