I'll add Brian Baker (Bad Religion, Minor Threat, Dag Nasty) and Greg Hetson (Bad Religion, Circle Jerks). Both are capable of playing tasteful leads but are rock solid rhythm guitarists as well.

nice. Brian Baker is pretty cool. When I was on the fence about buying a LP or a SG I thought of Brian Baker's stock Gibson.

Bad religion for me is just as much about Brett, tho. Those years where he left weren't so great.

How is Freddie Green not #1? I guess genius is never appreciated in its time...

Brian Baker is a bad dude. Years back when he was in Junkyard he owned completely, sort of Angus and Malcolm rolled into one but a bit more punk-y, must be seen live to fully appreciate.

Mal has the right hand of God!

Steve Jones & Johnny Ramone

"Josh from Sylosis"? :laugh2:

Dude, his name is Josh Middleton, I'm sure it wouldn't have hurt to have taken 2 seconds to type "Sylosis" in google to find out his name :laugh2:

I myself wouldn't categorize some of those on your list as rythym players though . . . EVH , Hendrix? . . . maybe I'm being picky though?

Personally I think the strongest points of both EVH and Hendrix were their rhythm playing
Half their solos sound like train wrecks to me (especially live performances, there are many videos of EVH being totally out of tune during solos, urgh), but their rhythm playing was always something special IMO

A lot of those guys on the list weren't really rhythm guitarists though they may have played some rhythm. Hendrix? He played bass lines with his left thumb but that doesn't make him a bassist (even though he played bass on Electric Ladyland). Please take Jimi off of the list along with Beck, Page et al.
