Jeff Beck has always seemed so underrated when talking about guitar greats.
I don't know if he's underrated as much as it is that he's never pushed for THAT side of things. He's one of those guys who doesn't care much for the lime-light, and could care less how he's measured up against other guitar players. He's that good...............
He doesn't need Rolling Stone's validation or Billboards recognition for him to measure his own talent. He's not arrogant or cocky, he just knows who he is and what he does, and that's enough for him. He's in it for the music first and foremost, and however the chips fall after that, I don't think he really cares a rats butt.
Mark Knopfler, the point man for Dire Straits is like that too. Ironically, both Beck and Knopfler are arguably the two best "finger" guys of their generation. No picks, all finger play...............bloody fingers and fingertips like leather and all.
