Jimi Hendrix is sometimes lost -- IMHO-- as an acomplished Rhytm Player.

Spanish Castle Magic, Castles Made of Sand, Room Full of Mirrors, Wind Cries Mary are some examples of his ability that stand out in my mind as awesome rhythm.

Lenny Kravitz I think is also not noticed for his Rhythm guitar playing. If I remember the CD sleeve (have lost them along time ago) on his first 2 albums most of his songs were written and performed by just him--Please correct me if I am wrong.
