Sometime called 2nd guitarist. Brad Whitford is one of the very best in the business. Aerosmith is not Aerosmith without Whitford's and Perry's guitars weaving in and out of each other.

Jaded - Aerosmith

Keith and Brian style w/sitar.
The Rolling Stones-Paint it black

Dwain and Dicky style.
Allman Brothers - In Memory of Elizabeth Reed

Here's a small, and rather biased list.

Pretty much anything Keith Richards did; "Monkey Man" and "Brown Sugar" spring to my mind, but there are a bazillion other cases. Simple, simple parts, but the timing and attitude...

Jimi Hendrix is another; "Little Wing" always sticks out in my mind; I've heard a lot of acts do this, and nobody manages to equal him. Clapton, Sting, the odd 80s hair band... none of them. Or heck, even "Voodoo Chile" -- SRV did a killer job, but Jimi did it better.

Curtis Mayfield. 'Nuff said. Not really simple, though!

Tony Iommi. He wrote every metal riff ever with Black Sabbath.

Jimmy Nolen. Listening to him, I feel good, like a sex machine, hot pants ready for the big payback...

Honorable mention to Jimmy Page, but he was a composer, and too sloppy.

Jeff Beck can do any damn thing he pleases; it rarely pleases him to play rhythm, alas.

Younger listeners can throw in the Edge and Frusciante if they like. (Hmm... I may have just admitted my age...)

And a BIG +1 to Lindsey Buckingham…Fleetwood Mac was all right before his (and Nicks') joining, but much better afterwards. I think he's incredibly underrated as far as guitarists go, and a damn fine 'rhythm' player. Also, 'KK and Glen" made up what Priest was (moreso on the earlier albums - "sinner" from 'Sin after Sins' is just plain scary.

Steve Hackett from Genesis…Although he played some great lead parts, he was in a band that was very keyboard oriented (so far as solo's go). He has some amazing bits (notably: Can Utility and the Coastliners from the Foxtrot album, "The Battle of Epping Forest" from Selling England by the Pound) that kind of played around the melody as well as held it together.

And either guitarists from XTC (Mr's Partridge and Gregory) are phenomenal rhythm guitar players ("Desert Island" or "Love on a Farm Boy's Wages" for great acoustic bits, or "Blue Overall" for something heavier)

Apparently Steve Jones has the timing of a metronome, even in the early years of the Sex Pistols.

I'd say Robert Smith is an excellent rhythm guitarist. Billy Duffy too (Oh! That's SO biased!

).

Stevie Ray Vaughn. I mean, come on.

I could have just said me... but what fun would that be?

I thought we were talking about pairs... you know lead and rhythm. If not.... Jimi is always the man and Eddie has his moments.

Jimi Hendrix - Woodstock Improvisation (wait for the end)

Van Halen - Hot For Teacher Live
