Most Overrated Guitarists
# 1
# 2
the only reason why slash is getting the respect he deserves is cause GNR could produce more then 5 albums in 15 years. but hes definitly under rated!
Overated:
1) Santana
2) Kurt Cobain as a guitarist of course
3) Tom Delonge, thanks for the reminder

Santana
I don't see on why Santana is up there among the world best guitarist. Most santana's solos looks similar to me. I can see no different in it. He is plain boring. He is a good guitar player but people overated him!

I don't really think Kirk hammett is one overrated guitar player. That is as for my thoughts. But i'm not saying you can't think he's an overated guitarist.
Since joining metallica, he brought in great energy to the band, all the contributions he gave are fantastic.

LOL :D
Yeah man , it realy pisses me off to see such "below average guitarists" guys get guitar signatures & admiration of fans , while real talented guitarists like Michael Romeo are somehow ignored .

I like Kirk Hammett's guitar playing too ... But this doesn't deny the fact that he's a LITTLE bit overrated.
But comparing him to most overrated players he seems to get his right credit.

Kirk hammet just uses wah on otherwise mindless pentatonic thrills, hes boring and repetitive.
Tom Morello sucks in my eyes, his solos aer defined be digital effects, hes like a DJ of the guitar solo-er!!

What so wrong about that?
This is something that really noone thought of doing before him and in this sense he is much more original than many of the shred heads that seem like copies of Yngwie or Vai.

Yea, I agree that Michael Romeo and the rest of Symp. X has been pretty ignored. When, you think about it, shred players in general are ignored by pop culture. The only people that know of them are people deeply into music. Tom Delonge has been given too much credit. I don't think I'd go as far as to say that Jimi H. is overrated, but I see him more as innovator, whereas Rhoads, Vaughn, Vai, etc. are the real players.

Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana maybe Vai and Malmsteem (later two are incredible players granted) but totally NOT Satch (who is amazing).
If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?

Agree to an extent. the digital effects are and do exactly what you say, but I think Roches vocals arent done justice through 'screechy-rat' comments. His vocals bring a cool 'hipppidy hop hop' quality to rages music. if ya get what i mean, hehe :D

Eric Clapton, Gary Moore.
Re Jimi Hendrix there is no point in looking at his guitar playing separately from his music. The guy who said he was an innovator is definitely on the right track. You take the lot as it is and like it or not.
ps Can you imagine Eric Clapton coming up with 'Star Spangled Banner'?

You obviously don't like him and that is OK. I am also not one of his greatest fans but I realize that he has a style, something which is definitely lacked by many of the sredders.
In my list he is definitely before Hammet or Santana, or Gary moore

Zakk Wylde. I like him and he is awesome,but I don't think that he's all that. He's more of a dick than anything.
There is a guitarist that is underrated. Anyone here ever heard of silverchair? Daniel Johns is their singer/songwriter/and guitarist. He is very talented and I think that he doesn't get any credit that he deserves.

OK, here's a totally underated player:
NUNO BETTENCOURT from Extreme. Very rocking riffs, tons of odd progressions and insane but perfectly executed guitar soloing. Like Van Halen only... Erm... BETTER!!!

about Zakk Wylde, he is a dickhead, but he IS a great guitarist. he does crazy vibrato and pinch harmonics on 10-60 E-tuned strings. and he's really good anyway. aiwass, thanks for mentioning 'Speedball'. that's a great song and he shows some great talent there.
also, Santana is trash. he has no talent compared to real latin guitarists. i'm sick of his collaborations and mindless licks.
and Wes Borland isn't really overrated or anything. i've never heard him mentioned as a brilliant or even above-average guitarist. i do think he has talent though. but he's not really overrated.

Thanks for listening to this small piece of me.
