Who the hell is this?
Chet Atkins is the name you're looking for. And he's not underrated at all. A simple google search says:
quote:
Yes, Chet Atkins is universally recognized as one of the greatest and most influential guitarists of all time. Known as "Mr. Guitar," he pioneered a complex, jazz-infused fingerpicking style and was the key architect of the sophisticated "Nashville Sound" that revolutionized country music.
He is frequently ranked highly on all-time great lists, including by Rolling Stone, and won 14 Grammy Awards as well as a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Beyond his own playing—which spanned country, pop, and classical elements—he produced icons like Elvis Presley and Dolly Parton. He was so highly respected for his technical mastery that he created the exclusive Certified Guitar Player (CGP) designation to honor elite musicians.
One guy who Chet inducted into his CGP club was Steve Wariner. Steve had a few country hits in the mid to late 80's but outside of the country music world, he wasn't widely recognized as the great player that he is.

One of the best players from Louisiana that not many people know about is Shane Theriot. He can play anything from NOLA Funk to classical. He's the music director for the show Live From Darryls House. He has a Grammy too.

The best player that the vast majority have never heard of. Audley Freed. If you’ve never heard of him, go give a listen to the album Brother by Cry of Love.

Good one. Glen Campbell in that group.

Came here to post that.
I'll go with Tommy Bolin and Mick Ronson (don't understand why Bowie ever let him walk).
