There seem to be many genuinely gifted guitarists who never get mentioned on the "short lists" of rock guitarists who have left an indelible mark. Every list includes Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Beck etc. but I feel many who are every bit as influencial get overlooked.
One guitarist I would add to the list is Andy Summers. He played with the No.1 band in the world in the early eighties. His style has been copied by many. He has a totally original approach and sound. He re-invented what a trio should or could be with his less-is-more textural approach. He only showed a fraction of what he could do while with The Police and was the biggest part of their sound. I believe he was the biggest musical influence of the eighties.
Let's hear your favorite underrated picker picks.
