According to Clapton..........The greatest guitarist ever was Prince. Due to the lack of his mention on this tread he was definitely underrated. YouTube his ass.

Yep. This proves it.
Prince was one of the biggest "sleepers" of all time on the guitar, but that performance has much more to do with the backing band, the energy in the room and Prince's abilities as a showman. He flat SOLD that schit!!! One of the greatest performances on youtube but FAR from the best guitar solos.
I'm a huge Prince fan, but there is absolutely nothing special about that solo. His performance was amazing though.
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!
Ecc 10:2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but that of a fool to the 24HCF.
Writing listenable songs AND playing skilled, energetic, emotional guitar really is a rare gift. There are quite a few that can play the notes, very few that can do that and write that music too
I've heard a lot of great guitarists and performed with some, but i's not possible to cite the "underrated" unless one sees the rating list for openers.

Yeah,...that's why Don Ross is so impressive. He composes everything he plays and it's *complex* stuff. I can't imagine being able to keep all of that music in my head. And then you consider the technical ability that he has to have to play it.
I don't believe that he's consciously thinking about what he's doing when he plays his guitar. He just picks it up and turns his fingers loose on it.
Joe Holmes, the most underrated guitarist Ozzy ever had. He was an actual student of Randy Rhoads and therefore the closest in style to Randy of any of the guitarists that came after Randy. Unfortunately, he never recorded with Oz but I saw them live in '96 and he was phenomenal. Ozzy has said that when Joe played with him, he felt like Randy was right there with him again.
