good rhythm guitar players are not a dime a dozen. a great sense of timing is required and knowing how not to over-crowd the music. it is an art and "fills" a void in song gaps.

Agreed. It is a sublety few possess and a skill that often goes completely unnoticed and unnappreciated. I had "rhythm" in quotes because I'm referring to people who call themselves rhythm guitar players who really lack the skill to do so. Basically, they're generally people who haven't been playing guitar very long but know they aren't good enough to play lead. I know because I used to be "that" guy.

Yes. Yes they are. Hell some phenomenal lead players struggle greatly with rhythm playing. It is very difficult to find a solid rhythm player that understand what backdrop a song needs or how to fill the void without overpowering anything.

Edit: I misread your post and I agree with you. I see you were saying that they ARE in fact difficult to find.
