    Good stuff!

    I've often wondered, why isn't  Richard Thompson more famous than he is?  He's an amazing player!

    Mine is a little unorthodox but I think Johnny Greenwood is underrated. There's an old PJ article where I believe Ed says that Mike plays the most notes, yet Stone finds the right notes. Johnny finds the right notes and somehow produces other worldly sounds. His playing has evolved with their albums. I think musically he's a genius.

    Not exactly lesser known, but George Thorogood is not taken seriously enough, I saw him live a week after Buddy Guy at the same venue and he could hang with Buddy all night long.

    Another, much more recent, Lindley.  Blues on an eleven string fretless oud?  Insane!  I love this guy!

    John Butler is worth a mention as well. (It was your 11 string comment that reminded me to post this Brian!)

    This is one of many versions of 'Ocean'...

    "worth a mention" might be the biggest understatement of this thread.  Gordrush, that piece left me... no words, just goosebumps.

    He's not bad is he? :) I've been lucky enough to see the John Butler Trio a bunch of times over the years and Ocean is always a showstopper. It's evolved since he first started playing it, so there's a little something different each time. This is one of my favourite versions, I've lost count of how many times I've played it.

    He actually started playing Ocean around 20 years ago when he was busking. Now that would have been something to see... 

    And if you feel like dancing, there's always this...

    I don't think that Robert Smith gets enough credit as a guitarist. I mean, if you had to live with this guy, you'd probably want to murder him for the annoying insect-like noises that are coming out of his amp. But then you hear what he builds out of those buzzes and chirps, and it's just staggering.

    I can't believe Richard Thompson didn't get mentioned sooner. He is one of the greats -- one of the greatest -- and is one hell of a songwriter, to boot. Getting to see him play "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" live was a bucket-list event for me (I had second-row seats to see him in Newark! Wow!!). I just wish he would tour more on the West Coast, so I could see him again.

    I'll never tire of sharing this link -- in my opinion, one of the ten best things on the internet: (same song as ceska shared, I just love that he's sitting in his home or a hotel room or something):
