A.J. Minette (ex Human Abstract) if any of you know who I'm talking about they're suffering terribly right now without him.
It is a sad and unusual thing that many guitar players go unnoticed. But it is not without fault of their own either. They either miss a niche, or they have bad publicists. Very bad publicists. Like, passed out on the street-kind of publicist. I advise they get new people.
Mikael Åkerfeldt
Alex Lifeson. A lot of people just hate the dude.
[QUOTE=Sylvian]Nick Drake.[/QUOTE] this guy
It is sad how many great guitarists do not get noticed due to mainstream bands, but it makes them in a way, more special. They are like, a hidden treasure for people who listen to them. I don't know if you guys know what I'm talking about, so here are two guitarist from one of my favorite bands: Elvin Bishop, and Mike Bloomfield. If anyone knows what band these guys are from, you are offically my hero.
the guitarist from Butthole Surfers is pretty good i dunno what his name is
Agata from Melt-Banana. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvuHlA1Vtvw[/media]

I love you guys if you didn't look that up.
Randy Rhoads
Tom Kalnoky.
[QUOTE=Trogdon]Randy Rhoads[/QUOTE] this That guy was fucking amazing.
Prince and George Harrison.
Kirk Hammett is not over rated... yet again he is over rated. But he can still kick Dave Mustaines ass anyday. Also Dave Mustaine is under rated but not as good Kirk. In my opinion.
Steve Jones - The Sex Pistols
Atleast nobody mentionned Buckethead. He's fucking amazing don't get me wrong, probably my favorite. But people always talk about him as if he was completely unknown. He's getting some recognition now. Michael Romeo is pretty unheard of but to those who know him he's a true god. Same goes for Petrucci. Hugh Edward Thomasson Jr. from the Outlaws. He wrote Green Grass and High Tides.

Nobody knows who SRV was where I live. I say SRV.
Nato you must live under a rock. Just kidding, but seriously that is pretty sad. Alright, time for one of my Youtube favorites, Andy Mckee. Not exactly unknown, but seriously, this guy is like, awe inspiring. I would give my right nut to play like him.

Slash. :v:
I can't believe nobody has said Brian May from Queen.

Pete Townshend.
[QUOTE=Entwistle]Pete Townshend.[/QUOTE] He isn't underrated.
Pekka Olkkonen from Stam1na. One sexy beast he is! [IMG]http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o272/Crazy47/Peke.jpg[/IMG] Check this out! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo2bg_qDE5I&feature=related[/media]
Chuck Berry. Seriously, despite what he has done for rock n' roll, no one knows who he is where I live.
