Oh, I'm sorry. I thought that this thread was about expressing our OPINIONS of who is under-rated and who is over-rated? What does holding down a gig have to do with being a good guitarist? Buckethead has done a LOT of music, both under his own name, and with Praxis, along with Death Cube K. GnR was but a small timeframe in his career, nothing more, and it'll probably be the same with Ron Thall (Bumblefoot) who is also a very good guitarist.
As for Hendrix, I don't buy into the legend that he is the be-all and end-all of Guitarists, simply because he is the most famous. Yes, he was innovative and very good, but there are many, many guitarists who could match him note for note, be it shredding, Blues playing, feeling, or whatever. Oh, and for the record, I actually like Hendrix. A lot. I just just think that guitar playing starts and stops with him.
I like the fact that you have more than 70LPs of his, given that he only recorded three studio albums in his life. What are the others that you have? Live recordings and Bootlegs, etc?
