Overrated / underrated guitarists...(your opinion)?
just off the top of my head.
Overrated:
Slash -
Kirk hammet
John Petrucci
Herman Li
Carlos Santana
brian may
Tom Morello
Robert Johnson
jack white
The Edge
Zack wild
kurt cobain (guitar playing)
Eric Clapton (is not god)
Underrated:
Chris poland
jeff waters
Marty friedman
Uli john roth
satchel
joe perry (does not get enough)
richie blackmore
steve morse
Albert Lee
Michael Hampton
Nile Rodgers
Stevie Salas
jason becker
Guthrie Govan
frank marino
dave weiner
Chet atkins
although i love the bands of most of the overrated musicians i put up, (like metallica,white stripes, nirvana, queen and ozzy.) most of them are crap. there are allot more of each side but whatever.
OVERRATED [do note, however, I don't think all of them are bad--just not nearly as good as people have made them out to be]:
Eric Clapton
John Mayer [all he is is a SRV rip off...oh, yeah--and a complete scumbag!]
Jimi Hendrix
Slash
Keith Richards
Kurt Cobain
Yngwie Malmsteen [playing fast can be impressive, but when you've only played fast your whole career like Malmsteen has, it gets boring]
Orianthi [if she wasn't a girl, her playing would most likely be seen as nothing special...it's sad though--most female guitarists tend to either be drastically overrated or drastically underrated]
Carlos Santana [another you listed...and there'll be more]
UNDERRATED:
Albert Lee
Pete Ham
Cody Kilby
Eric Johnson [I know--we all know he's a great rock guitarist...but he's also great at country and jazz too and most people don't seem to realize that]
Chet Atkins [don't get me wrong--a lot of people know Atkins could play well...but not everyone realizes how truly great he was]
Tommy Emmanuel, c.g.p.
Steve Wariner, c.g.p.
Jerry Reed, c.g.p.
John Knowles, c.g.p. [note that "c.g.p." stands for Certified Guitar Player, which is a title given to only four guitarists by the great Chet Atkins]
Melvin Taylor
Mike Stern
Wes Montgomery
Brad Paisley [sure--he may have around 20 #1 hits on country charts, but people still seem to ignore the fact that he can not only play country guitar very well, but blues, jazz and rock guitar as well...Paisley's 2008 album PLAY shows off his versatility]
John 5 [look up his solo stuff to see what I mean--not the stuff he does for artists like Marilyn Manson]
Johnny Hiland
Danny Gatton
Jim Campilongo
Roy Buchanan
Sue Foley
Tab Benoit
Michael Lee Firkins
Merle Travis
James Burton
Sonny Landreth
Keith Urban [his newer songs might be complete crap, but listen to his album as part of the three-piece band the Ranch as well as Urban's self-titled debut album--those two albums have instrumentals on them that show off some of Urban's real guitar work]
Larry Carlton
Joe Pass
Roy Clark
Do keep in mind that, for both lists, I listed artists in no particular order. Also, as soona s I started listing artists for the 'overrated' list, my mind began to go blank and that always happens when I answer this kind of a question...but, hey--at least that didn't happen when I started on the 'underrated' list!
