Well, he is a virtuoso player for sure, but subtle? I don't think so.

Became a Shooting Star when I got my 1st guitar.
Back in '66, I was 13 and that was my fix.
Still shooting for stardom after all this time.
If I never make it, I'll still be fine.

Tommy's great but, in the words of Dave Edmunds, about as subtle as a flying mallet.

Oh, I could go on forever.
But one listen to Abby Road will tell you the king was, and still is, George. Those licks on She Came in Through the Bathroom Window.

Yep. No argument there. If you listen to the BBC sessions, he is pretty convincing even then.

For subtle and sweet, I will always think of Peter Green.
(George Harrison, I agree, is a great answer.)

David Gilmour
I can think of no-one that matches him when it comes to tasteful solo and melodies without the pyrotechnics. After that it would be Neal Schon.
When these guys do solos, I'm just enjoying the flow of the line - not "wow that's a boatload of notes in a short amount of time", or "I wonder how he/she did that?" but rather, "Oh that's nice!"

I agree. Gilmour's playing on "Comfortably Numb", for example. Oh that's nice indeed.

Another powerful, yet non-flashy subtle player was Paul Kossoff of Free. Perfect solos, nice rhythm work, too.
