Jaybo,
Fantastic guitar is...well, fantastic, but Pete was a) a pretty fair player himself and b) awfully influential in the manner noted by Musicbuff. I'm not sure comparisons here are apples to apples as Rhodes seemed to be an historical touchstone for the early country rockers while Pete was the flag bearer for the new generation. Similarly, Lloyd Maines feels like he was the point guy for the next generation "y'alternative" bands. Seams to me that each of these guys was a critical figure on the instrument at a different moment in time. Just MHO.
Either way, Pete will be missed.
Marty
