Someone like that can't be considered underrated. There's not too many musicians from the 1930s who are still talked about today at all.
No offense, story - it's cool that someone as young as you appreciates him but underrated is the wrong word.

Oh
I actually don't think I've ever talked to anyone about his guitar abilities, or looked anything up about him at all, so I was pretty much basing that on the fact that someone once remarked they didn't think he was a good guitar player... I don't even remember who now. I'll say he's appreciated as far as guitarists go then.
