does The Edge fall under the "not celebrated for being uncelebrated guitarists" thread, cause hes not here in the "uncelebrated guitarist" thread nor in the "celebrated guitarist" thread.
you cant deny his skill. and the fact that he never took actual lessons till like 92. even if you dont like U2, his skill as a guitarist is undeniably awesome

I think I mentioned The Edge and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Along with Pete Townshend, Brian May and David Gilmour. I will add George to that list. Not even Beatles fans really appreciate him.
George was a great guitarist, and im sorry i didnt realize you did mention the edge.
John's guitar skills weren't great. George definately had the guitar genes. perfect example of john's more rhymic guitar skills and not lead guitar, is Cold Turkey. thats an extremely easy guitar part in comparison to george's stuff.

I know I am going to get eyes rolled for syaing this, but I think Joan Baez is underrated as a guitarist. Not a lot of people know that she played all her own guitar all the time. So that means all that AMAZING work, on All My Trials, and later, Diamonds and Rust, was all her. She was a helluva better guitar player than Dylan.
You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.

Yeah I was just saying you're not the only one who appreciates him. There are about three or four people in the world that do. I don't know who the other two are, but they're out there somewhere.
Paul Carrack was part of that band temporarily, right? Somewhere on the attic is an album by Squeeze on vinyl. Great stuff. Never really scored a hit over here, except maybe for Cool For Cats.

Yeah, Paul Carrack was Squeeze's keyboard player for a while after Jools Holland left. Paul also took lead vocals on Tempted - a shockingly over-looked track produced by Elvis Costello!
