Take a look at the DU2 archives in this musicians' group.

Elliot Easton is my number one most underrated guitar player in rock history.

Guy was the lead guitarist of a band that sold over 30 million albums, but never is on the radar when peoplel talk great guitar players. Basically a super successsful, but nearly unknown super player.

Guy has MAD skills. Singable solos, but with every trick in the book tossed in with impeccable taste.

And, the flavors of his solos were so different on so many songs. The solo on Best Friend's Girl, Shake It Up, Candy O, and You Might Think don't even resemble each other, but you can still tell it's the same guy playing them.

Quite the expert.
