I find his tone anemic, his rhythm unmusically erratic,
I certainly agree about his rhythm (and unless you've heard his
recordings from around 1930 you don't know the half of it), but he
pulled a lot of sound out of the guitar.
As I have a volume control on my amplifier, I can speak little
of the volume that he was able to coax from the otherwise often
rather quiet instrument. It was of the consistency and sweetness
of the tone and perhaps the ratio between resonance of the instrument
and the sound that was produced through the mechanical means
of disturbing the strings.
