Probus Excogitatoris Their idea of "underrated" is a bit skewed. I'm not sure by what standard they're considering several of them to be "underrated," since roughly half are rather well-known by any competent musician, especially guitarist. If not by individual name, then at least by the band.
@ArtofFreeSpeech9 жыл бұрын
JerkStoleMyName One could argue they ARE underrated, at least by the proletariat, as they didn't make the top 10 lists for band or rock guitarists, and at the very least, Knopfler and Prince deserve to be on one of those top 10 lists. Are these guys underrated by those who study music? No. But Duane Allman and Brian May over Prince and Knopfler??? SOMEONE has their priorities out of whack.

@Outrageous Accent! "Just because other guitarists recognize him as an influence doesn't mean he isn't underrated" You basically are making my point, legends in the industry do recognize him as an influence, and if you read my post I stated people THAT PLAY guitar will tell you he's a legend and should not be underrated. Then you go on to quote Rolling Stone and finish by calling them clowns? I agree they are clowns and that list lacks credibility. Then you add the fact he has some recognizable riffs in the rock industry, not to mention he has a guitar chord name after him. I'm not sure what you are arguing, unless you are stating AL isn't a great player. Now in regards to most underrated I would say "Andrew Latimer" from the band Camel (check out Stationary Traveler) should belong on the list. I would also include that dude from Mahogany Rush, "Frank Marino". The reason they don't get props is their band never got the attention they deserve. Rush on the other hand had a huge following even thought most of their music was never mainstream/radio play.

That makes sense except for the fact that there is no other reason for a guitarist to be known for anything other than being a guitarist. Prince is really the only person on here that qualifies as a "household name" for being something besides a player...BTW, any guitarist could tell you Prince is an outstanding player without having seen this list. By the standard you're speaking of, Randy Rhoads, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, George Lynch, Zakk Wylde, Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Albert Lee, etc. etc. etc. would ALL be underrated guitar players...the only one left would be Eddie Van Halen by proxy of Valerie Bertinelli and Michael Jackson. No...this list is a joke...

#1 should be Jason Becker. He was so good at 15 in the 80s he was playing Yngwie Malmsteen, and Van Halen perfectly. He started a duo project with Marty Friedman, Marty being older than him tried to keep up with Jason but he was so diverse and passionate he was better than Marty at 17 years old. Jason ended up becoming the guitarist for David Lee Roth, replacing Steve Vai. Marty Friedman was jealous because he had only became the lead guitarist for megadeth. Jason recorded a few songs on David Lee Roth's album, but just right when Jason was going to be touring with David Lee Roth he started suffering from ALS. The doctors gave him 3-5 years to live, and the first thing he asked is if "I'd still be able to tour" He went to meet with David for the first time in person, instead of being full of excitement he had to inform David that he could no longer play the guitar, that he had ALS. He could no longer play notes or chords. Not long after, he could no longer walk, talk, or move anything other than his eyes. Yet he never gave up his passion to make music, he is still alive to this day composing music with the help and support from his parents, alongside many of the world's best guitarists playing for him as he would compose music. There's days where I feel like giving up, but then I remind myself of Jason Becker. He is one of my biggest inspirations today, even when his world came crashing down on him, he never gave up on his dreams. Eddie Van Halen was without a doubt one of the most inspiring guitarists, but Eddie had the chance to show the world his talent, and passion for guitar... Unlike Jason, who had never had the chance to follow his dreams and to show the world his talents and passion. Rest in peace Van Halen, you will forever be known as the best guitarist to ever live.

Prince is also considered one of the very few who can lead guitar and sing at the same time. It is considerably difficult to sing and lead guitar cause our brains are wired to shut down other tasks while concentrating on something as complex as lead guitars. I think Sting is the other guy who can do this and Sting is nowhere near the greatness of Prince. Also, Prince has his own chord progressions / scales. He plays the guitar his way.

Each had his own style, so while Roy was great picking as a country artist could he compete on the Rock and Roll stage? And the same with these guys, they were/are great rock players but how could they do in the country stage where it is far far more structured and like classical, needs to be played the way it was written. VERY VERY few country stars could solo the way rockers could. Besides the sound that is the difference between the 2, the 50's and early 60's rockers were structured and played a certain way, it wasn't until the later 60's and into the80's that the guitarist really became became big in Rock. Then it just took over and everyone was trying to outdo everyone else. Keith Richards wanted to be better than George Harrison, Harrison wanted to be better than Clapton who wanted to be better that Dave Davies who wanted to out play Townsend who wanted to put Beck to shame ... or Angus Young wanting to blow Eddie Van off the stage, and so on. So from the late 60's to basically the late 90's, bands were built on the singer and the guitarist, now, music is such that the industry doesn't seem to truly want to build anyone up and that could be because the industry makes more money when there are no stars demanding big paychecks and royalties.
