I thought this might be interesting.
We all hear the names of the great guitar heroes like Beck, Page, Clapton, Van Halen and so on. However, we all know there are great guitar players who are not household names. I thought it would be fun to see whom everyone thinks is a great guitar player but completely underrecognized or just not given their props by the world at large.
My list of at least a few.
Rock:
Neil Geraldo (Pat Benatar)
Gary Richrath (REO Speedwagon)
Country:
Danny Gatton
Albert Lee
Other:
Laurence Juber (fingerstyle)
That's my starter and if people join the thread it might also be fun to ask/find out why we think that player is so skilled.
