John Lennon and George Harrison are the last names that I would expect to see in a topic about under-rated anythings, let alone guitarists. They could pick up an instrument for the first time, play a note, and receive such widespread acclaim that it would be impossible to under-rate them.

Johnny Thunders (solo, Heartbreakers, & NY Dolls) - Johnny should have been a superstar but ruined it for himself with substance abuse which affected his playing. He was a great songwriter as well.

Kim Mitchell (solo & Max Webster) - Man, this guy is great but he has to be witnessed live to really appreciate his talents. My wife gets bored seeing long solos played live but she always says that she could listen to Kim play all night. I've probably seen him live at least 20 times

Johnny Winter - He's well known as a bluesman but in the 70's when he was rocking out to his blues/rock style he should have been a guitar god. All you have to do is check out his 'Captured' live album or his 'Still Alive & Well' album

Alvin Lee(10 Years After) - for me, the real hero of the Woodstock Movie

Davey Johnstone is one of the most underated guitarists alive.

The guy can play anything.
