dave grohl (foo fighters) -- though i don't know if i'd consider him under rated.

Touche'

Ronnie Montrose is another great player who never got the respect he deserved.


listen to Space Station #5, or I've Got the Fire

either of this should be enough evidence for anyone

The Reverend Horton Heat; this dude can flat out rip. I saw him in concert a year ago and he blwe me away. Pure energy.

Alex Lifeson of Rush
Walt Becker of Steely Dan.

Can't disagree with Horton Heat but I'm going to go with Jon Schaffer of Iced Earth.

Gary Rossington and Dave Gilmour

well since i see a hole lot of overrated guitarists here, I'll just note down a couple of the best guitarists in the world(i'll try to stick to under rated)

Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, Charlie Christian, Pat Martino, Pat Metheny, Russel Malone, John McLaughlin, John Scofiel, Bill Frisell, Mike Stern, Al DiMeola, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Birelli Lagrene, Martin Taylor, Jim Hall, John Abercrombie, Frank Zappa, Jeff Buckley, George Benson.

and just for the record.... Mark Knopfler is a wimp...

Knut Schreier (aka Euroboy)....
