best soloist i ever heard (after Hendrix, class-by-himselfwise). saw Focus a buncha times back then and Akkerman in clubs a couple times since. master of discordancy, live - i remember hearing him make what sounded like mistakes during a solo only to hear him reference the same phrase again and do something almost thematic with it beyond that. took some getting used to but quite fascinating. spends too much time with the acoustic these days - a real ripper backinaday.Jan Akkerman
You nominated Prince.He is widely recognized as a pioneer in blues guitar playing. He is very not under the radar.SON HOUSE....Death Letter
I really know nothing about guitar playing, but the first time I saw this, I was mesmorized.....![]()

Pretty sure most people think of him as a performer and not a guitar player.

I thought it was funny.There isn;t even a guitar player in the band, is there?
Is this shtick? I know of Kottke, and I don't get it.Leo kottke is the best guitarist alive. Seeing as how most people haven't heard of him, he gets my vote.

You ever see him live? A dude that finger picks a twelve string and makes it sound like a grand piano is ridiculous.Leo kottke is the best guitarist alive. Seeing as how most people haven't heard of him, he gets my vote.
tru dat. was on the same circuit with him in the 70s and axemen just shook dey heads. nicest guy, too. to this day, i listen to him every time i breathe in the brown ground where the worms clown, where the worms clown, where the worms clown, way down below in the sun belt, everyday in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bedLeo kottke is the best guitarist alive.

Great posting. Love that clip of Derek at age 13.Derek Trucks might not be too under the radar, as he is the nephew of The Allman Brothers drummer Butch Trucks and tours with the Allman brothers band a lot.
No argument, his right hand technique is smooth. I just don't find anything he's done even remotely musically interesting.Leo kottke is the best guitarist alive. Seeing as how most people haven't heard of him, he gets my vote.
