Jimmy Page could play lead and rhythm equally and did so with amazing feel. Hamish Stuart of AWB was amazing rhythm guitarst too. Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir awesome too.

Style and ingenuity mark them as competent, special or genius. One more ends his run and thankfully the repertoire left us is remarkably deep. The loss is significant. AC DC was and is a major player in Rock & roll and elevated the bar to which other’s are going to be held for some time to come. Rest in Peace.

Robbie’s guitar "song parts" (as apposed to solos, the abilities at which being how most people access guitarists abilities) are supremely musical. A few more great rhythm/lead players are Steve Cropper (Booker T & The MG’s), James Burton (Ricky Nelson, Elvis Presley), and Albert Lee (The Everly Brothers, Emmylou Harris), all Telecaster players (as was Robbie on The Band’s first two albums). Though commonly considered Hard Rock, I see AC/DC as a pure Rock 'n' Roll Band, the ultimate realization of Chuck Berry. It speaks to the teenager in me, even at 67!
