Slash and Kurt Cobain (I Know I mentioned this before) come to mind.

I'd have to say my brother in law ... he's a great guitarist and all, but no Jimmy Hendrix ...  ... sorry Bob, just kidding around ...  |

You Clapton bashers are either A) Not a fan or B) You have never seen him play live! Sloppy......I don't think so! 
Jimmy Page when he was not as polluted with drugs and burned out say....pre-1973.......was probably the best guitar player ever in my opinion!
To say these 2 are over rated???? Absurd!
Lets start the over rated list with someone whose overall body of work is narrow and "what has he done lately"!! Mr Edward Van Halen! |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

 You stole my thunder BF!! Saw Clapton on the From the Cradle tour in Worcester and the whole show was flawless. Both Clapton & Page were wacked just about all the time in the early days and they still could crank it out even when they didn't know where the fluck they were. Over rated, George Harrison comes to mind. Great musician, song writer. poet and humanitarian but just about an adequete rythmn guitarist never mind a lead.  |
Catch'em up,

I've got to disagree on George Harrison being over rated!
The guy was all about tones and not about blistering speed like Eddie Van Halen, who in my opinion, is one of the most ever rated ever!
Carlos Santana is one guy who could do more with 1 single note than Van Halen did with 100 that he would play in 1 bar ! |

I knew that was coming  Way too many variables to judge who is good and who sucks, although there are some really sucky players out there that make a lot of money. You like what you like. I really enjoy seeing the different tastes people have and have even checked out a few I never gave a shot to. I just like music and enjoy topics like this and of course the controversy involved  |

No plugs for you Slingah!! 
Raider Ron.....I agree!!
Thomcat.....I am a huge Harrison fan and Raider Ron hit it right on the head....he was all about quality!! Not in the top 100 but definitely not over rated! |
