Take a good listen at 1984.

"Hot For Teacher" opens up with one incredible piece of sound that demonstrates the dynamic of Eddie Van Halen taste with sound.

Another guy that is totally underated with the guitar is Prince.
But if ya wanna talk about a guy that cleans them all up take a look at Kirt Hammet.
Hammett is a 4th rate guitarist. We both took lessons from Joe Satriani at the same time. I can think of dozens of Berkeley boys that were better but out of the East Bay crew that studied under Joe the following were the most terrifying:
