Re: Unsung, underrated six string heroes
Chris Whitley for alt blues & a variety of other genres... He never really settled on a musical style (or record label, for that matter), but did some fantastic work. He also played backing tracks for a few dozen hits - usually on his Style O resonator.
Start with Living With the Law, but do not expect him to stay in that vein.
Passed way too young from lung cancer (going through a pack a gig might have had something to do with that).

Re: Unsung, underrated six string heroes
Really cool thread. A lot of names already mentioned that I was thinking of. Here is who I thought of...
Rocky George (Suicidal Tendencies)
Chris Oliva (Savatage)
Andy LaRoque (King Diamond/Death)
Chuck Schuldiner (Death/Control Denied)
James Murphy (Death/Obituary/Testament/Solo Artist)-His Convergence and Feeding the Machine albums are awesome!
Frank Hannon (Tesla)
Jon Schaffer (Iced Earth) His rhythm playing is tight and precise it's as good as Hetfield's imho.
