For me, what makes him so amazing is not the notes he plays, but the notes he doesn't play. He doesn't overwhelm you with his guitar. He chooses each note carefully and tastefully and let's each note speak for themselves. Aside from the fact that he is a brilliant guitar player, this makes his songwriting one of the best in my opinion.

He’s also a great storyteller. That’s something that is really rare in rock music. His lyrics can stand on their own as literature.
