There are some groups and musicians that get way too much cred for what they've actually done though.

Santana is treated like a guitar god and like he's doing something.

He got smart and latched onto other musicians who had names for themselves to resurrect his career.

The guy has less than a handful of decent songs.

Black Magic Woman being his crown jewel of "classic".

The rest were pop songs he noodled around on.

See I can't judge overrated on their actual ability as I have no idea how easy or complex something is.  I can only go on what I think of the end product as a whole.

It's funny, but I always wonder if some guitar solos I really like are even difficult.  Is a great guitar solo in the playing or in the ability to create it?  Can most experienced guitar players replicate most guitar pieces?    I love the opening of "For Those About to Rock", but I'm guessing that it's not all that complicated to play.  But I'm going to rate it high because I just love how it sounds.  On Houses of the Holy, there's  prevalent guitar sound (don't know what to call it) that is repeated throughout the song that I think is cool sounding.  For some reason it seems like it's played backward and I can't even explain what I mean by that.
