not going to go on about overrated guitarists (there are too many and we give credit too easily in the guitar world).



however, my three more underrated guitarists have to be buck dharma (blue oyster cult), mark knofler (dire straits), and robert fripp (king crimson).


buck dharma has some of the most unique and talented phrasing i have ever heard, and in many respects could mop the floor with your typical tech-shredder.

mark knofler isn't necesary to defend.

robert fripp was ripping up unconventional time sigs and blending jazz fusion with rock back in the mo'f**kin' sixties. he was a true "prog rocker" if there ever was one.
