yes, well.....there are lots of guitarists (and people who play other instruments) working in experimental/new classical/avant-jazz formats who are underrated simply because their music does not penetrate the wall of commercial music....
agreed entirely on pat metheny.
underrated: sonny sharrock. john mclaughlin during the period with miles davis's band and before.
fred frith. everyone should know who this cat is....really interesting, really innovative player/composer...
am not a fan of the clean old-school jazz sound--i appreciate what is required technically, but the sound seems prissy to me.
