At first I thought you meant problematic because you had a beef with Doug Yule playing guitar, but now I think you mean it's problematic to know who played what.

I'd have to say John Wicks (from UK bands The Records and Kursaal Flyers) is a better rythm guitarist than John Lennon or Lou Reed. English guys seem to have an inherited feel for rythm.

"English people got natural rhythm" is one I haven't heard before.
Gotta go with Lou, though it pains me to pick one, based alot on a famous bootleg of What Goes On from a live show where it's Lou's guitar only for some reason, boot called something like Guitar Tape...I downloaded it free once from a VU site, it is MINDBLOWING, never heard anything remotely like it

Here is what happened when I discussed "I Heard Her Call My Name" with Mr. Alex Chilton
