Sir, I was with my father at your last concert at Sala Palatului in Bucharest. You asked me if I am playing guitar. Please accept my excuses, if i was unpolite, answering you I'm an amateur. I was very excited that I saw you and that I had the oppurtunity to meet you. Hope to see you soon! All the best, good health and good luck! Vladimir Popa, Bucharest - Romania
@Lokisbphotography: I've never heard that Mclaughlin is underrated! He is well known to be the most influential guitarist. He is the musicians' musiciand. He was named the Mahavishnu, meaning the great creator by his Indian guru..
Definetly not underrated but if you mean why he's not popular like Madonna that's easy to explain. General audiences want easy-to-sing-along choruses and danceable rhythms. And of course lasting max. 3 and half minutes. John McLaughlin doesn't work in that way.

@RedPetrol76 As far as popular, he is the only jazz guitarist in the rolling stone top 100 guitarists list.(unless you put zappa under jazz as well)

Isn´t Holdsworth in that list, or Les Paul or Wes Montgomery?

McLaughlin underrated????????????
he is one of the greatest player of all time.
I assume that you don't know anything about guitar. you probably listen to rock music all the time.
