...played on the level of Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw,... But, did he play on the same level as guitarists like Steve Howe, Martin Barre, Brian May, and Alex Lifeson of Rush? Listen to Lifeson play La Villa Strangiato. Let's throw in Jimi Hendricks while we're at it.

Yes, of course...great artists are great artists, period. No matter the genre or music style, all of these people we're talking about had one thing in common: mastery of their instrument. That's the key.
