of the ons i know on your list i have to agree with you.
also, its good to see you acknowledge Ace Frehley of KISS, he was as good as anyone
Top Guitarists Of All Time! - gryphon - 07-05-2011
- George Harrison ( There is some much of his work that is unsung and excellent and has received so little attention for his work in the Beatles but this is the man they relied on for guitar work)
- Keith Richards
- Bill Wyman ( A Bass man but still excellent)
- Paco De Lucia ( Maybe unknown to most here but he is so often paid tribute to by many excellent guitarists)
- Mike Oldfield#
- Will Akkerman ( Again not main steam but a really gifted guitarist)
- Chris Simpson ( Totally unknown again but, has an excellent body of work........rare to find electric work by him but one of the masters of acoustic guitar)
- Richard Thompson.............too many accolades to mention
- Phil Lynott
- Jan Akkerman
- Hank Marvin
- Scotty Moore
- Marc Bolan

he's underrated IMO, love his solos!

KISS in general are underrated IMO....must be the theatrics and glam, theyve made some of the best rock songs ever recorded, Paul Stanley is also one of the best front men around also
