Crank gave me the idea with part of his post in the "Lead vs. Rhythm" thread:
"Some rhythm guitarists I admire are:
John Doyle who used to be in the Irish band Solas. He drove their whole sound and really opened my eyes and ears to the guitar as a percussion instrument.
Ian Neville, one of the younger generation Neville's who plays strictly rhythm guitar in his band Dumstaphunk. Amazing sense of timing.
Neil Young who also taught me a lot about guitar as percussion - very evident in his soloing as well.
Bob Weir for a different approach to rhythm."
Keeping in mind I'm talking about guitarists who were/are mainly rhythm players throughout their career, I cast my vote for John Lennon...
