Good guitarists who don’t seek the spotlight

Mike Campbell comes to mind as a guitarist who seemed more interested in making good music than stroking his ego. Del Amitri’s Iain Harvey is another player who gets no publicity, but delivers great licks and solos consistently.Who else?

John Frusciante has kinda been a recluse since 2008, making music mostly for himself. Can’t wait for to hear new RHCP with him.

Ultimate recluse virtuoso. It's ashamed that alot of people think all he does is shred mindlessly. His catologue spans a large amount of genres and styles.

Adam Jones. I don't think I've ever seen him do a video interview.

Mick Taylor always seemed to stand where he stood on stage and played his notes. He never stepped to the front or moved around - just played. Richards would occasionally get irritated at him noodling on the '73 Euro tour but MT was the best guitarist the Stones ever had.

Good call on James Honerman Scott
I'd add Lawrence Juber from Wings. He's the best acoustic player I've ever seen or heard.

I'm glad I saw them with Ozzy in '89.
