Malcolm Young......

Rhythm guitar, a dead art. After Mike Bloomfield, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Peter Green, and finally Jimi Hendrix became the model for guitar playing, no one was content being a mere rhythm guitarist anymore (except John Lennon). Malcolm was the best!

We lost another one.  This year has been tragic.

R.I.P. Malcolm

Nile Rodgers is a great rhythm guitarist but interestingly he actually made a career out of it - producing music with great vibes...

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.

Sad news, another great one.   RIP.  

As far as the art of rhythm guitar don't forget about Keith.  Built a 50+ year band out of it.  

The list of excellent guitar players is extensive.

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.
