I think most Flamenco players are underrated and most modern guitarists (such as guitarists from the band Creed, Adema, ect.) are overrated
Who do you think is overrated of underrated?
# 1
Was that of meant to be an or in the subject title? I'll try to best answer it anyway. Anathema and their fans are constantly going on about them being the most underrated band of the 90's which I don't believe is true so the statement that 'Anathema is underrated' is therefore overrated.

kurt cobain, fred durst...
"Lets see… well I play the guitar and when I'm not playing the guitar, I think about playing the guitar. My other favorite instrument, is the guitar and if I aspired to play any other instrument, it would be the guitar...
I can’t sing so I sing through my guitar. So when the sound guy says: “Your guitar is too loud!” I think: "Why does he never say that to the vocalist?"

Creed's guitarist (Mark Tremonti) is actually a highly competent shredder. I also like a lot of his songwriting, but he should show his skill a bit more in their songs. Not necessarily shred wanking, but some creativity in the lead department would be nice.
LP's guitarist (Brad Delson) is no slouch, and actually knows his theory and stuff, but his musical views are retarded. Besides, he doesn't practice any technical stuff, so he could never play any of the songs of the players he always talks sh*t about in guitar mag interviews.
Your right about Creed's guitarist but, yeah he should show his talent. I think the BAND is overrated

I think theyre a good band, I have Meteora and its actually very good, especially given as Ive alwyas hated them until recently. Im not what youd call mainstream and im not a fan of heavy music either (anything below the standard low e kinda scares me). Faint is the best song of 2003 for me.

I'm gunna be childish here n say Stinking Park. Guitarist pisses me off n Chesters voice is really irritating.
Also I'm gunna get an ear bashing n say Eric Clapton. Just doesnt have that magic for me especially when you look at his peers of the guitar explosion.
Kurt Cobain, good voice, simple n boring guitar player.

Since when was Kurt Cobain's considered good. I like Nirvana and everything, but grunge isn't neccessarily about the singers ability to sing.
When looking at some guitarists, like Eric Clapton, its their skills AND inspiration. Eric Clapton reaches out to other people besides guitarists.

Brian May - I mean hes written some very good tunes but he just seems self indulgent and I think his tone is horrible to be honest.

I don't think Flamenco guitarists are underrated....or jazz, classical, or blue grass guitarists. I don't think people doubt their ability to play....people just prefer music and musicians who accompany vocalists.
Why? I dunno.

Yeah, I think your right. I still think that many people don't give them much credit or maybe I just think so. As far I know, many guitarist don't give credit when needed to classical guitarist and flamenco guys (not jazz, I think it is quite popular). Well . . . at least these days when the mainstream is punk and harsh rock.
Dont get me wrong, I love rock , that is what motivated me to play guitar but you know . . . I'm just sayin'

I think I'm underrated. I don't really consider anyone overrated. They must of done something for so many people to like them, or the people are just ignorant, but there are many underrated guitarists. Not that it really matters to me, as long as I enjoy my playing.

About the only time we see ratings are in guitarist polls in crap mags like 'Rolling Stone' and NME, with voters probably mostly clueless 3 chord merchants impressed by anyone who knows a fourth. An alternative title to this thread could be, 'Who should and shouldnt appear in top 10 ot top 20 guitarist polls'. I'm generally pretty unimpressed by most 'name' rock guitarists Clapton, May, Slash, Richards etc. A while back someone here mentioned Shawn Lane so I checked him out. Well impressed, esp his stuff with Jonas Hellborg. A huge shame that he died without wide recognition. He could play the arse of any of the big names in electric guitar.

Mark Tremonti from Alterbridge is seriously under-rated, people think he sucks just because he was in Creed and had to play all their songs in the key of D just to accomodate Scott Stapp's lack of vocal talent. If you want good Tremonti stuff, check out the Alterbridge album.
Daniel Johns is another. If you want to hear some brilliant musical talent from him, check out Silverchair's Diorama or the Dissociative's album, his side project.
