Keef's a songwriter and minstrel rather than a true rhythm machine. I'd say, look at Pete Townshend rather.

All the times I've seen him live - either in the venue, or on some video - I've only ever seen him make ONE mistake. One. He played a G in "Caroline"...only for a second, but I saw it. He was human after all. He probably made plenty, but who cared?....nobody came close. Nobody ever will. I as well have only ever seen one mistake. He was ripping the capo off midway between a medley or something and it caught the top E and made a clear "boing" sound (that's the best word I could think of... it late and I'm pished), but he just chuckled it off and away he went again, hammering away. The measure of a true pro is not just avoiding mistakes, but error correction if one is made. As QED. Seeing a band where someone has kicked off in the wrong place, or inserted an extra verse by mistake, and they all get re-coordinated again hardly missing a beat, is an education.

I, for one, was watching them with my 13 year old nephews.
Although one of them is currently into The Happy Mondays, Oasis, Stone Roses etc.

They will like Wand Erection and Little Mucks, but there will come a point when they are teenagers that they discover proper music. My daughter is now heading in that way she is 11 and now hates these groups when aged 8 she loved them. She is now getting into Rock music, some Quo (Dirty Water especially) but a lot of newer rock stuff. Give her a little while and ill have her playing Piledriver before you know it

Also, that shot from 4.30-4.38... fuckin' hell... He was a machine. The greatest rhythm guitarist the music world has ever seen. Anyone who disagrees has no fucking idea what they're talking about. are you sure? I thought rhythm guitarists made tinny noises on Rickenbackers.I reckon Rick was unique in the rock n roll business..anyone ever heard anything like his bag?

Rick was definitely a rhythm guitarist, plenty of examples through rock history. Unfortunately anyone who plays chords on a guitar (usually also a singer) is called the rhythm guitarist. They are not, a new term should be drawn up for these people, perhaps backing guitarist...

Should be much higher and the comments agree, though as it is an American site no 20 is good considering. How many of them fall into that 2nd category as you say Backing Guitarist. www.thetoptens.com/best-rhythm-guitarists/
