He peaked in the 90s but started playing in the 60s, that's a whole 30 years later. I think anyone who thinks EC is over-rated has (at least) a big hole in their soul! Then I must have. He was a pretty big name before the 90s and that awful Teardrops In Heaven song. I find his playing a bit 'pedestrian'. White blues guitarist - look no further than SRV. Even Slowland said he was the best ever...

goldblum said: JAHetfield said: John 5 - Underrated http://youtu.be/3FPGFbJMKW4I used to be a big MM fan when I was at school, John played some pretty catchy riffs but nothing overly impressive. His solo stuff is in a completely different league. I've been trying to follow some of his online lessons and finding it tricky to say the least. Surely the idea when posting on a thread about 'underrated guitarists' would be to post some evidence to show they were actually better than their 'rating' implied? Or is what the chap in the video doing absolutely incredible and I've missed the point? Does he have 4 other brothers called John and his parents a sense of humour?  Perhaps that wasn't a great example, it's just something I'm trying to learn at the minute. Try this, http://youtu.be/5tECVaGujXA

Not sure im qualified to say whos under - overrated but i do think Jeff (skunk) baxter, from steely dan and Leslie west from Mountain are fine musicians
Joe Bonamassa is a fav of mine as is Rory gallagher Joe walsh and Lyndsay buckingham , and Carlos Santana is not overrated listen to some early stuff from him . Totally agree Keith Richards is overrated tho .

I've got to agree about Steve Marriott, great singer too.
But how aboutThe Hamsters guitarist Barry Martin, aka Snail's Pace Slim?
