I like Nigel's live solos especially the use of the violin. He gets a much richer sound than Jimmy Page who only used a violin bow.
Someone else who turned his amp up to 11 was Bob Mould of Husker Du. I read in an interview that he's going deaf. H-D were a punk band but Mould's work lifted them out of the ordinary.

Nels Cline. I was gonna mention him for his work with Sonic Youth and a bunch of other bands over the years. But, Wilco? He's in Wilco now? Damn, I'm out of the loop I guess.

Yeah Nels (or Nils, I constantly see it spelled both ways) has joined Wilco.

And as much as I have always loved Wilco, he has really kicked their music up a knotch. Tweedy is a genius, but Nels really fleshes the band out and plays perfectly off tweedy and drummer Glenn Kotche.

And then of course there's my beloved John Stiratt on bass....

Man... I love Wilco so much.

My cousin. Was still a teenager when he went to New York and Chicago to study the blues. Buddy Guy handed over his guitar to him at the end of one of his shows, telling the crowd that he was the best young guitarist he had ever heard.

Mike Bloomfield at his best was as good as any white blues-rock-jazz guitarists. He did excellent work with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, and he may have peaked on the Super Session album with Al Kooper and Steven Stills.

Larry Coryell impressed me as being very talented in the jazz-rock genre.

Another Butterfield Blues Band guitarist, Elvin Bishop, was also notably very good (and is still going...)

I personally was amazed at how fast Alvin Lee of Ten Years After played his blues-rock riffs at Woodstock (I was about 30 feet away and sometimes his hands were just a blur ...)

Refering to an internet list of "underated guitarists" I'll add Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top and Neal Schon of Journey. The list also contends that Prince is very underrated as a guitarist - as is Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi (and even Eddie Van Halen ...) They also rate Johnny Winter as one of the greatest blues players ever. (Of course, they're peddlin' all these guys albums...)

Kim Mitchell during the Max Webster years. The best album to start with is Universal Juveniles (1980). His later solo work was too pop-rock and not guitar oriented enough to show off his chops. If you like guitar players like Joe Satriani or Steve Vai, you might like the early Kim Mitchell (fronting Max Webster).

Oh, did anyone mention Joe Satriani or Steve Vai, yet? Maybe they are too well known to count.


Wasn't Aldo Nova the main guitar player with Max Webster?
