i would add a guy named frank marino to this list, he is a guitrist who had a little action in the seventys,never got any mainstream success but is secretly idolized and slavishly copied by some of the biggest names today.
Gary Moore is the king of the guitar! Doug Aldrich and Jeff Healey should be on here too! But I'd say that Kossoff, Beck, Gallagher and Blackmore are well known. What song is Kossoff playing?
sorry to tell you that the reason why most of these people on your underrated list didn't go main stream is because of the fact they never played anything different it's always the same shit over and over and over it gets kind of tired after awhile
Considering you focused on the 60s/70s era, the 90s/00s era list should be: Johnny Greenwood(Radiohead), Mike McCready(Pearl Jam), Kim Thayil (soundgarden), Omar Rodriguez -Lopez( Mars Volta)
I would have had to include Mick Ronson on this ...he did all of the heavy lifting for Bowie when Bowie was just catching fire with Ziggy Stardust and didn't get shit for it
Uh Jeff Beck has never been underrated or Ritchie Blackmore either-I met him and he was an asshole to his fans but still a great guitarist. You wanna know the most underrated guitarist is? Rik Emmett!!! Ever hear of him? In a band called Triumph and he shreds all these guys!! He can play hard rock,classical and now plays jazz! Check him out-oh and he sings good too
@gijsvandersluijs When I say underrated, I mean that they should have got more mainstream attention for their playing than what they did. They are all amazing guitarists, which is why they're on this list, but none of them have the notoriety of say Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, or Eric Clapton.
i don´t think gary moore or jeff beck are underrated...

Paul Kossoff was a superb player and would have been up there with the best if it wasn't for his premature demise from drug misuse

What's up with Trevor Rabin(ex-Yes)? How about Steve Howe too? Maybe they're in the vid, but it kept stopping after 1:24, but I doubt they were.
