Gary Moore is under rated?!?
Thanks for beating me to this post, sKiZo. I was just coming to post that exact thought.
Any love for Ronnie Earl?
Happy trails,

Walter Trout Red House is one heck of a jam and Walter has been jamming for years. Under rated or under the radar he is one hella guitarist.
Nice recognition of Sister Seagull (Be Bop Deluxe - Bill Nelson). WNEW-FM NYC gave that some healthy airplay. I remember reading that he used some "flanger" or "envelope-follower" or something like that. I had it on vinyl before vinyl was "cool".
Yes, big time!Any love for Ronnie Earl?
Happy trails,

I've tried to enjoy him, but, have always been left feeling,... mehhh, I've seen better.
Walter Trout plays more notes in his first song, before the lyrics, than JB does in a whole concert, and does so with high technical prowess.
David Lindley (who fairly well carried Ry Cooder, and a huge list of others).
But, well, he only occasionally plays a normal guitar; preferring all sorts of stringed instruments.
Just wanted to agree with these posts, and add Bruce Cockburn from the nation's capital in the Great White North. He started out as an electric geetar slinger before reinventing himself as a folk singer/acoustic guitar player.Walter Trout is under the radar, but anyone who has seen/heard the man will not dare to underrate. In similar fashion Danny Gatton was under the radar -- only geetar cats and (enlightened) folk in the vicinity of DC knew Gatton. DG was a monster player. Dude could play perfect slide w/ an automobile windshield. Hell, @ a certain level I'd say that even Mr Guitar: Richard Thompson, is still under the radar. He's coming to Santa Barbara for one night @ the Lobero Theatre, a joint that seats ~800.
