Members The Trump Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 y'know... because if you're talking over-rated, then everyone gets to being whiney bitches. Stop arguing, jesus! I think Richie Valens is an under-rated guitarist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members csm Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 Willie Johnson, who played with Howlin' Wolf around 1951. Check out the original version (recorded by Sam Phillips at Memphis Recording Service aka Sun studios) of How Many More Years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ryan Trevisol Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 Was that back when they were Chicago Transit Authority? Actually he was on 10 studio albums with them, but his guitar is most prominently featured on the eponymous CTA album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GarysBlues Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 Little Jimmy King is another one! Manual Gales from the Gales Brothers is his birth name and was changed right after Albert King passed and handed him the Keys to the Highway!

Members ottobahn Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'll wager that many guitarists that are named here (and to be named) are rated highly by musicians but under-rated in popular culture. Popular Culture can kiss my a**! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members csm Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 I know he was the subject of a richly-deserved appreciation thread here a few months back, but there's always reason to offer a big-ass shout-out to the maestro of killer slice-and-dice Tele riddims...

Members Cozmo Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 Actually he was on 10 studio albums with them, but his guitar is most prominently featured on the eponymous CTA album. Poem 58 is one of my favourite Chicago songs. Terry Kath was awesome. Even Hendrix said, "Man, that cat is better than me." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faber Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 I say that most any guitarist who's only/mainly a rhythm player is underrated not only by popular culture, but also in the guitar community - It seems that the definition of a Guitar Hero, is the guy who play all the soloing, even if the rhythm playing is more important to the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
