Excellent list, fellas! One guy I thought never got the recognition he deserved (despite playing with some of the biggest names in popular music) would be Daryl Stuermer. If you can go toe-to-toe with Holdsworth (as he did on Jean-Luc Ponty's Enigmatic Ocean), you're something special. But he's also such a great writer, as well. Tommy Bolin would be another. Shawn Lane, as well. And Ralph Towner. The list goes on and on! Glad to see Steve Morse on the list. My favorite. Love his playing and, more importantly, his writing. As a composer, he never repeats himself, but you always know its him.
Hey Gents, Thanks for turning me on to the masterful playing of Bill Nelson, l can hear where Allan Collins got the Freebird solo from the song , No Train to Heaven. Olson its a great album. Thanks, from 🇨🇦.
Saw Steve Hillage and had to click! Others who are under appreciated include Allan Holdsworth of UK, Andy Latimer of Camel, and Steuart Smith (Rodney Crowell, Rosanne Cash, Eagles).
Randy Jackson of Zebra is one of the best guitarists I have ever seen. Also, Armik. An Armenian guitarist known for his outstanding flamenco technique.
If you really want to see a couple of guitar players that you've probably never heard of, but should know, it is Ida Presti and Alexander Goya. Watch some videos of them if you want technique.
Steve Morse is the most amazing guitarist there is. John Petrucci said "he thought he had done all he could on guitar until he saw Steve Morse play". I saw Petrucci set his guitar down in front of Morse then kneel and bow to Morse. That is how incredible Morse was and is!
Steve Hillage, Bill Nelson, Massive influence on me, as Was John Martyn, Allan Holdsworth, Andy Powell, Ted Turner, Andy Latimer, Jon de Cann, Ernie lsley, Gary green, Zal Clemson,
@@frankiecasper2903 all the comments below his videos on RUclips claim that he is the greatest guitarists of all time & although I will not go that far but there has not been a greater guitarist and if you include his volume of work, there is no comparison.
Thank you for mentioning Gary Moore, perhaps the best ever. He could do anything and did. The proof is always in the taste of the pudding So, here's a taste for ya. “The Thrill is Gone” Gary Moore with B.B. King 10:00 Live! Best Duet in History! ruclips.net/video/iUaevnP1LLg/видео.html "The Messiah Shall Come Again" Gary Moore ruclips.net/video/7k07j7LcLqw/видео.html
Jack Pearson, Phil Keaggy, Brian Stolz and Jimmy Thackery are a few that l can think of that fly below the radar.
At last someone mentioned Steve Hillage amazing with Gong
Another underapprecaited cat: Bill Connors.

SRV & Jeff Beck(whom no one has ever covered on RUclips) are also a cut above the rest
Nice list how about..Robin Trower, Matteo Mancuso, Oz Noy, Eric Gales..
Never heard a better blues player than Alvin Lee
Your right and he was so FAST!
hope you mentioned Greg Sage of the Wipers. Unique sound!!

Jerry Moore? Never heard of him. I’ve heard of Gary Moore of Thin Lizzy though.
Did you mean Gary Moore? Steve Morse [Deep Purple]
Yes
Did you guys ever hear of Buckethead??? He toured with guns n' roses
Yes, I love Buckethead. He is a hell of a guitarist. Thanks

"The Messiah Shall Come Again" Gary Moore

Gary not Jerry
I think Futurama came before Axe Victim. Sister Seagull and Maid in Heaven.
Sunburst Finish, then Axe Victim, then Futurama.
Also Tony Mcalpine, Greg Howe, Guthrie Govan, Walter Trout, Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Jan Ackermann
WOW, He is awesome. I have always wanted to own a Framus Jan Akkerman Guitar.
@@frankiecasper2903 I'd have killed for a black Les Paul Custom like his when I was 12! Come to think of it, I probably would now at 63! 😁
