many guitar "Gods" in rock just mastrubate through their guitar when they are soloing.. i mean most of the rock solos are usless and almost all of them lacks any idea behind them. In jazz things are different. you actualy have to think about the things you are playing. this is why jazz is hard to listen to if you dont know what exactly the players is doing.
Seriously rock could be much much better if there would be more people like blackmore, page , brian may and others like them whose solos do realy express something (not all of them of course).

P.S im not jazz player so dont see it as "i hate rock music" post
