Honestly I would challenge anyone here to play his parts as cleanly or as consistently as he does. Being a guitarist myself, I know a lot of what he plays isn't exactly child's play even if it's not just mind-blowingly technical either.

I can think of plenty of highly technical guitarists who are completely boring.
Could you give me an example of, where he displays his “master degree” in rhythm guitar?

I’m actually just curious. Are you talking about inventing them or playing them? Because they don’t seem that complex to me, though I can see the skill that it takes to create them.
