From Wikipedia:
"For the most part he disliked lengthy guitar solos and consequently never attempted to gain much skill in this area of playing."
Great rhythm player, but master ...?

MASTER re: ROCK. Ain't only my opinion, but it is, in fact, my opinion, too.
Besides, wasn't the whole punk ethos kind of about shunning mastery?

Which goes to show just how good he was.
That just makes him a master of irony.
I haven't read through the entire thread, but I'd nominate Joe Pass as one of the greats. I particularly like the Intercontinental album, specifically the opening track of Chlo-e; I have the transcription and am slowly working my way through it. I'll never be able to play like Joe Pass but I do like the tune. Some of his playing I find repetitious and overdone with his fill-ins but I find his overall playing and connection to the guitar in the jazz format uncanny much in the same manner that I also find SRV to have the same connection but with the blues. OPG.
