Prince. .... Didn't like his music or his look and was surprised once when I saw him play a guitar solo. He was a pretty good guitar player. Hard to beat Knopfler for pure guitar playing.

Warren Haynes is my choice. Thanks BigPine for reminding me.

Played as good or better than Hendrix and a voice like the white Ray Charles. Damn shame.

Terry, you gotta clear the chamber after dropping the mag brother. RIP

I don't think that it's easier to learn so much as you simply get to see them now whereas before they were only heard of locally.

I've stumbled on a couple o' well-known fellas, whom I had never fully appreciated.

I had no idea José Feliciano could do this:





And I also realized that I'd paid more attention to Jerry Reed's storytelling, than his guitar picking:





I suppose I've also been far too late in appreciating Roy Clark:





Apparently, they sometimes even played together:

Jerry Reed was one heck of a good guitar picker!

This /\

Been a fun thread with a lot that has slipped my mind. Thanks for all the contributions . Now that my kids are all out of the nest I can sit and rock out with my half decent tune system in the man cave. I can do it for hours.

A lot of these players are already well known..
This guy is on the come up, and is for real
Gary Clark Jr.
This is a cool video, but look him up on youtube if you really want to see how skilled he is..

I didn't see anyone mention Mike Campbell, formerly with Tom Petty, now Fleetwood Mac. Super talented.

Since this is a thread on "underrated", Eric Johnson doesn't count.

how about Dickey Betts from the Alman Brothers Band. Heard them live several times and he played the happiest sounding guitar ever. Especially on Blue Skys.
