Greatest Underrated Guitarists
Ask anybody who the greatest guitar players in the history of rock music are, and you’ll likely get standard answers. The big three, Clapton, Beck and Page, Eddie Van Halen certainly, maybe Stevie Ray Vaughn. The metal-heads cite Randy Rhodes and George Lynch. These are all valid answers, but if you put forth names like Elliot Easton and Andy Summers, you may be likely to get a blank stare in return. Too often great guitarists are overlooked because they simply do not have the flash of a star like Eddie Van Halen or because they are part of a group that simply has an overabundance of talent and they tend to be moved to the background. Take Andy Summers, guitarist from the police. Everybody knows who Sting is, and there is no doubt he is extremely talented, as is drummer Stewart Copeland. As part of this unit, however, Summers was often overlooked. What is amazing about Andy Summers is not only his mastery of the instrument, but his overwhelming versatility. From ska to punk and reggae to straight ahead rock and roll, nothing is beyond his capacity. His style has been described as minimalist, but that minimalism is a plus, and must be credited for not falling prey to his critics and trying to do too much to compensate for a lack of complex layers of sound. Below, in no particular order, I listed some of my favorite players underestimated, and the reasons why I consider them great. Elliot Easton (The Cars): Elliot Easton is probably the main reason for the success of The Cars. Easton’s rock guitar without cutting open the synth sound motor vehicles, they never found the mainstream acceptance of what they did. Imagine a pair of Ric and Greg Hawkes Ocasik Spacey plays a new wave influenced guitarist and you have a style of music that would not appeal to people on a large scale. Buddy Hollyesque Easton’s sound, however, served to make The Cars commercially viable. “My Best Friend’s Girl” from their debut album is an excellent example of how Easton’s contribution was essential in creating hit records for the cars. Warren DiMartini (Ratt): What impresses me most about DiMartini is that, despite being known as a speed demon who is content to take a surprising wave of notes at the listener is that knows the value of a rest. Too many metal artists try to play as quickly as possible, and DiMartini can compete with the best of them, but I am more taken with the fact that on songs like “Lay It Down,” “Wanted Man” and “Round and Round”, his clever use of pauses and DiMartini muting lend depth and character of what would otherwise be a simple piece of metal tearing. Kathy Valentine (The Go-Go’s / solo): The Go-Go’s will never be known for stunning musicianship, but Kathy Valentine’s reputation suffered from being thrown with a group of girls who were less proficient in their reading. Not to say that the Go-Go’s are not good. Their style of music is based on the catchy beats and fun lyrics, to be technically perfect was not a requirement. Unfortunately, the fact that it was an easily exploitable fault that the critics could grab a hold of the tape was unfairly criticized for being “a bunch of girls who could barely play their instruments.” S ‘ they had bothered to check, they have found the Valentine was actually a guitarist talented and experienced, making the switch to bass to fill the place with the Go-Go’s. In fact, casual listening will show that play the bass Valentin singled Charlotte Caffey and Jane Wiedlin’s guitar. Sometimes it’s almost melodic. Since Valentine Go-Go’s went solo, with a parallel project called Delpin. I urged to check attractive combination of Valentine rock and punk on her Light Years “album. Slash (Guns Roses’ N ‘/ Velvet Revolver): Roses Guns N’ now Velvet Revolver bassist Duff McKagan Slash had once said that “as soon as the right hand I have ever seen.” Although one can argue that the left (fretting) hand is more important for a guitarist, after hearing Slash play, there is no discounting the value of a right hand quickly. “Sweet Child of Mine” “Paradise City” and “Welcome to the Jungle” received more radio play, but to hear one of the best examples of work by Slash, see “Mr. Brownstone” on “Appetite for Destruction “. Steve “Steamin” Clark (Def Leppard): It seems that all great artists have their demons and Steve Clark was no exception. Before alcohol claimed his life at too young an age, Steve Clark had built a legacy of fine work that goes live. Steve gift was the ability to build spatial separation in his phrasing. It was almost like playing in a huge empty amphitheater where every note sounds perfectly and separately and yet, with the complementary work of bandmate Phil Colin, fit tightly together like pieces of a puzzle. The song “Love Bites” from the “Hysteria” album perfectly illustrates this point. Unlike previous member Pete Willis, Colin provided a perfect foil for Clark to play off of. Unfortunately, Def Leppard seemed to be associated more with the fact that drummer Rick Allen played with one arm, the result of car accidents in 1984, taking some of diverting attention from the fact that the game of Clark Def Leppard is one of the finest pop metal from the 80s. Howard Leese (Heart): sentenced to share the stage with two of the most beautiful women and talented of the rock era, Howard Leese continued to lend his creative talent to heart long after its other founding members were gone. It was Nancy with her beautiful blond hair who stole the spotlight, but it was guitarist Howard has fueled the group. Secure in the knowledge that he was a key element of his Heart of conduct based on the guitar, he was never bitter about the fact that his name can be recognized among true fans. Listen to “Barracuda” or “Magic Man” or “She even” and you’re immediately struck by the natural “coolness” of the opening riffs, and his mastery of harmonics like no other. Mick Mars (Motley Crue): Generally regarded as a metal guitarist just mediocre heavy, Mick Mars phrasing is perfect for the sounds of the CrГјe. Chunky, dirty and staccato at times, he still manages to be melodic. Overshadowed by Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee and their bad boy image, Mick stays cool and aloof behind his powerful music. Despite the darkness inherent in some of their songs, you can not fail to be raised by the musical skills Mick Mars. Really there are so many worthy players that I could continue, but it is just a list of some that bugging me for years. It is true that people have their own tastes, and for some, these guys would not even make the top 10, but he makes me feel better to have my feelings known. If I’m lucky there may be a few of you out there that some who say, “Man, I’ve said for years that he (or she) has never had enough credit “.
