I mistook the thread for "underrated great guitar players"
Hendrix is my favorite, with Iommi being right up there.
But while we're at it, a few guitar players who didn't get famous for their guitar playing.
Geezer Butler - who uses a wha wah pedal as a bassist, part of his sound
Noel Redding
Paul Mc Cartney - who should maybe be thought of as someone that plays way too many instruments
Lemmy.
Greg Lake
Back at guitar,
Jon Butcher
Joe Satriani - who taught, and at has had lots of famous players as his students
With so much access today and so much ability to put oneself out there, it's amazing just how many really good guitar players there are.
