Underrated- Dude a MILLION thumbs up to whoever said Tom Scholz from Boston HELL YES!. I love him
I may get a TD for this one but Brad Paisley is also pretty underrated, a country guitarist I'm sure most on here haven't heard of!. I REALLY enjoy listening to him play but his style might not be up the alley of most here in R&P!.
Overrated- Everyone else has said Slash!. I've seen him play live and truly enjoyed every second of it!. I'm going with Tom Morrello, even though someone else said they thought he was underrated!. I believe he gets about as much credit as he deserves!.!.!.little!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Underrated : The mention of Queen's Brian May was right on
the spot!. Though he help craft some of the most memorable rock songs ever, most knee-jerks!.!.!.when mentioning "rock gods' will toss around the tired Eddie Van Halen's of the world!.
But, as I type this, I may dub the most underrated guitarist is Pete Townshend of the Who!. I heave heard others compare him to the likes of Keith Richards, Townshend displayed some real flair in The Who's early live recording exp: Live At Leeds
Overrated: I may have to lean towards Eric Clapton!. There is no doubt the man is talented but he is not the first white man to steal riffs from the blues!. And why would he be the best!? Because he sold his soul during the 80's and 90's to reach the pop charts!?
Good ideas from everyone so far!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Underrated-Jerry Cantrell!. There is no Alice in Chains without either Cantrell's dark guitar riffs or Layne Staley's haunting vocals!. You need to have both to make Alice in Chains!. I've always enjoyed his work, even his solo material!. Looking forward to their new album, even if Staley won't be on there!.
Overrated-Kurt Cobain!. As a songwriter, he had it!. Even though his guitar work was simple, he was going for the catchy riff!. They we're at times, more punk than grunge!. They put him at No!.2 on Rolling Stone's greatest guitar player list!. Ahead of Slash, Tom Morello, Tony Iommi; how does that happen!.
R!.I!.P!. Layne Staley and Kurt CobainWww@Enter-QA@Com
