Nobody will probably know the greatest player as a lot is taste and style plus it could be someone nobody has ever heard of sitting in his room playing alone to perfection.

Ya I try to keep a low profile. Don't want the media swarming me. You know how it is. :cool:

The original with the compiler's justifications for their positions is here

Rolling Stone later published a 25 most underrated list

I claim no resposibility for any ofthese opinion!

That first list lost all credibility when Kurt Cobain was ahead of Knopfler and EVH.

Never got to jacked up about such lists. Everyone has the 'why isn't...?' kind of things. I read the lists if they have justifications simply because it's interesting and don't take much stock in the actual list itself.

I am more partial to the 25 MOST UNDER-RATED LIST. I find it interesting that Robert Fripp is on both lists. At any rate, missing on the list:
Michael Hedges
Adrian Belew
Jeff Parker
Charlie Hunter
........and more!
Clearly my opinion. YEAH! :D

I fixed that for you,, I am sure it was just a typo.

the order on that list is a joke for sure...didn't see prince on there...he's pretty good last I checked...johnny greenwood from radiohead should be on there...he's a very innovative guitarist and musician over all...bill corgan is another very underrated guitarist...having Kurt on there is like (but not quite as bad) as having Bob Dylan on a top vocalists of all time list...Kurt was a good player, love his music...but there's no way that he is better at guitar than van halen, and I hate van halens music...except the beat it solo, I dig that...

Not to mention
Phil Keaggy - should be in the top five - don't believe me? Check out Agora (The Marketplace) , or his song Doin' Nothing . This guy was phenomenal. Even in those songs, he puts a tremendous range of technique, and lot of it is just impromptu.
Joe Satriani - the teacher of Kirk Hammet. Why isn't he there?
Steve Vai - crazy guitar technique. Goes a little overboard on that, but he's way above 99% of guitarists.
Buckethead - this guy has crazy sounds, and puts out a huge amount of material. If you want to learn new and different sounds for guitar, check this dude out.

teenyboppers will all say alien ant farm and the 3 weird looking kid brother trio are the best guitarists in the world... what are they called? hobo brothers? jono brothers? something like that.

He had partial paralysis in the 3rd&4th fingers so he played his leads with 2 fingers. I probably would have never listen to his music had I not severed a tendon in my hand,and I may not have ever pick up a guitar again.
Check out Limeshouse Blues and Minor Swing on my space. He's really one of the greatest ever.
