Elliott Easton - The Cars
Elliott Easton is probably the best guitarist from a non-guitar heavy band. Very underutilized.
I kind of view him like Prince. Both great guitarists, but there are many songs with virtually no guitar in them.

Dickey Betts...
Dickey Betts is highly rated, and deservedly so.

Well shite, if we are talking about “underrated” guitarists and you are going to throw out Derek Trucks, and others have said Dickie Betts, Alex Lifeson, Rory Gallagher, John Sykes and Malcolm Young, let’s just say Eddie Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton.
If we are just naming random great guitarists

you can go back and watch his old videos and realize he was sweep picking before that was "invented".
You're not wrong! I never had the pleasure to see Chet live but we did get to open for Steve Wariner when he came down and played at Bear Creek Steakhouse in Montpelier, La.
They all showed up around 3 that afternoon and we met them and talked music for a good half hour. Very down-to-earth guys. Asked Steve to sign the top of my acoustic. Handed it to him and he sat down and began this flat-picking riff that had me like
. He signed it and it hangs in my music room to this day. This was in the early 90's.
