Underrated guitarists
You know the sort, good players who have made a nice career but aren't by any means household names. I thought I'd start with this guy. Big fella, big talent too:

Zal Cleminson - lead guitarist of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Apparently, and sadly, he retired from music in 2008.

Francis Dunnery! He isn't underrated though, everyone who has heard him rates him very highly and he has a very loyal, almost fanatical following. He had the original posters suggestion of Steve Rothery play at one of his gigs last year. |

Another acoustic guitarist is the late, great Eric Roche. Another cool guy. Very laid back and chilled demeanour on stage. Met him at the Internation Guitar Festival twice.
