Top 10 Underrated Guitar Players (Plus 1)

Top 10 Underrated Guitar Players (Plus 1)

This is a list of people who I think are underrated and deserve more credit. The list varies wildly. Some of these people are almost totally unknown, while some are big stars. They just don't get the recognition they deserve for their guitar prowess. This list is also prone to change. Who I think is an underrated guitarist will change when I hear of new ones. Actually top 10 and underrated in the same sentence sounds like a bit of an oxymoron. Well never mind. Regardless of that I think we can all agree that these guitar players deserve more recognition. Who'd be on your list? Let me know in the comments.

The gear I most often use.
A Stratocaster of some kind, either an Yngwie Malmsteen Strat, or a custom Strat with a scalloped fretboard. For 7 string stuff I mostly use an Ibanez Universe.
A Marshall 1987x into a Marshall cab.
A Fender Yngwie Malmsteen overdrive, plus a Boss NS-2 noise gate, or a Strymon Sunset.
A Morley Bad Horsie 2 wah, and a delay.
An AKG C-414 mic for the guitar.
For acoustic stuff I use a Taylor 710 short scale thingy.
