"Prince! Was just talking about this with my mate a couple of weeks ago. So underrated " Not by me, personally he's an amazing guitarist. (Self taught musician too) When he plays the guitar solo for " while my guitar gently weeps" with a whole heap of guitarists and throws the guitar off at the end....🤣 My job here is done AV that! Awesome! | |||

"Doyle bramhall II ,with the arc angels and now solo, played in Eric Clapton's band" I know what you're saying about Doyle but in guitar geek circles he's highly lauded. He should be more popular in general though. Agreed. | |||

"I'd say Suzanne Vega.. The kind of fingerpicking patterns she uses are quite difficult if you try & break them down. (Also whilst singing at the same time.) " Saw her in a tent at Glastonbury in '99 & she was awesome. "The Queen & The Soldier" was unbelievable. | |||

"Marty Willson-Piper, his work with All About Eve on their later albums is superb. Steve Rothery of Marillion, such a delicate touch, check out a live version of Easter, Seasons End, or The Great Escape on YouTube. " Yessss. 🎸 All About Eve were awesome with Tim and especially MWP. Ultraviolet is sooooo underrated. I liked The Church too. Good shout. | |||

"Lyndsay Buckingham from fleetwood mac." I have to agree with this. It was only yesterday I happened to come across a clip of him with Stevie Nicks singing “Never Going Back Again” and thought wow he’s some guitarist. | |||

"Eric Clapton 👌🏻" Well he’s hardly underrated but I think that Andy Fairweather Lowe who often plays alongside Eric Clapton is a superb guitarist. | |||

"Oh and Jake Thakray, I was deep diving him after ages only the other day. If they can't do it on an acoustic first they're not really doing it for me." Jake's guitar had cost him £500, second-hand - but the previous owner was Segovia. How do I know this? Because he told me, while I was strumming a couple of chords on it, c. 1978. True story. | |||

"James Dean Bradfield Try playing anything by the Manics and you realise... Great rhythm and lead. On That Pedal Show this week and worth a watch!" It’s a great watch. I say that as someone who isn’t even a particular fan of the band (even though I see them around the place regularly and they come across are lovely dudes). One other who hasn’t had a mention is John Renbourn. At the risk of being hunted down and whacked on the head with a Telecaster, is there anyone else in the “Prince was amazing, that WMGGW solo is great showmanship, but it’s not THAT amazing” camp ![]() | |||

"John Martyn" Excellent choice. Ask any “good” guitarist to play one of his songs. They will probably back out. They are far more difficult than they sound. Saw him live 5 times. | |||

"Rory Gallagher" In an interview, Hendrix was asked “What’s it like to be the best guitarist in the world?”. Without hesitation he replied “Ask Rory Gallagher”. | |||

"Prince definitely... But also Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics. An under-the-radar genius. " Dave Stewart surprises me. Thought he could only play rhythm. Once saw a video on live TV with him and an all star collection on stage. He was playing 3 chord rhythm, another musician called him to play a solo. His face filled with panic and he played the same 3 chords louder. It was cringy to watch. He’s a great songwriter and producer. I suspect his recordings use hired guns to play parts he writes. Happy to be proven wrong. | |||

"Eric Clapton 👌🏻 Underrated?" He underrated himself though! Theres a Clapton quote like the Hendrix one above too. He was asked how was it being rated worlds best guitarist and said I dunno ask Prince. If you ever watch the tribute to George Harrison when Prince and Tom Petty are on stage and Prince just kills it. | |||

" Another infamous Clapton quip he's often used in interviews over the years to side step the "who's the best guitarist?" question is he'd deadpan... "Well its a close one between that kid in his garage somewhere in Idaho and that other lad in his bedroom at his mam's house in Preston in Lancashire" "Um... but no one's ever heard those" "Exactly!" winked Eric PS - Prince jamming While My Guitar Gently Weeps is indeed superb! | |||
