hi13ts Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 i'd like to say robbie mcintosh and dave peverett I agree with Robbie McIntosh. He was one of my main influences during his stint with The Pretenders and Paul McCartney. Also, the Thin Lizzy boys (Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson) are horribly underrated. They were one of the few who were able to make the harmony-guitars a trademark sound. Gary Moore is somewhat unknown in the States too. He doesn't have as much credit as he deserves.

Pink_Floyd Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 This may be either a complete wildcard, or indeed it maybe that he is too obvious, although I never hear anyone on guitar forums etc talk about this guy. Nils Lofgren I seen him live and he was amazing, but what do I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Seems to me that Johnny Hickman of Cracker never seems to get his due. He gets a nice sound out of "Lucky Number Seven" - a late 70's standard I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazytrain513 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 1) Michael Schenker - So much feeling, with a sprinkle of speed and tremolo picking. 2) Tom Scholz - A bit of a ****** at times, but a pure genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyote Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'll agree with the aformentioned Elliot Easton and Joe Walsh, and add: Terry Kath Carl Wilson Junior Brown Eddie Angel All Fender players, so unlikely to show up in this thread I suppose.

quapman Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 G.E. Smith Prince Robert Fripp How's that for diverse... Actually the only reason I say Fripp is when I saw Crimson back in the 80's, my non musician buddy was quoted as saying. "I wasn't impressed with Fripp, He did't do anything". I was blown away at those comments. He may have sat in the back of the stage with very little light, but he was flying around that fretboard in true Fripp fashion. What a concert. It was hard to pick who to watch with Fripp, Belew, Levin and Bruford. All amazing musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bongoscot Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 To me Lindsay Buckingham is an extremely under rated and under mentioned guitar player. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCd6V4S2ksw&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swamprock Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Bill Steer- from grindcore to death metal to blues rock to stoner rock to NWOBHM- incredibly versatile and chops to boot. Ty Tabor- King's X Scott "Wino" Weinrich- Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, Spirit Caravan, a few others Gary Jennings- Cathedral Andy Summers- The Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Les Paul players or not, who do you feel isn't getting as much credit as they deserve?! 1) Vito Bratta (White Lion): Eddie Van Halen inspired him, but I think he pulls it off even smoother 2) John Norum (Europe): 2nd favorite classical-influenced rocker, next to Randy Rhoads 3) Tom Scholz (Boston): Signature tone from space....it's all been said 4) Neil Schon (Journey): Any song....My vote for best string BENDER ever! Amazing tone. 5) Reb Beech (Winger): "Headed for a Heartbreak" Lead-out & solo 6) Robbie Krieger (The Doors): Dreamy guitar playing trippier than David Gilmour 7) David Gilmour (Pink Floyd): Shattered the notion that a solo had to be fast to be GOOD. So much passion in his playing!! Steve Marriot, Peter Frampton Humble Pie. I say that because of the guitar solo on Stone Cold Fever! Who played that solo, was it Marriot, or Frampton, or even Clem Clempson? I want to know!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philbo Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Lindsey Buckingham, Jeff Lynne and Iain Bairnson all come to mind when I think of players that inspired me to pick up a Les Paul after years playing a strat. In particular, Iain Bairnson's melodic session playing graces some iconic British popular music from the 70's and 80's, yet few people have ever heard of him.
