I am amazed by what you're writing, it really makes sense.
Especially point 2 and 3 are what I find in Peter's playing. Not many players have the qualities you're listing. Miles Davies certainly did!!!! Others??
There are not many of them.... 
I would like to add another number:
4) Taste!
Few guitar players can come up with such sweet licks and melodies within one song, as Peter. I don't know if that made any sense.. perhaps too "long-haired!"

Thank You for noticing my post dansven. I had been thinking about what makes PG's playing special for some time after you popped the question in one of your previous posts. And it took some time to put it into words.
These discussions about "Who Is The Best" seems futile because we like different things in music. And if we don't know exactly what we are comparing, it becomes a "god-dag mand -økseskaft" discussion (hope you have this expression in norwegian as well), I don't know how to translate it into english.
Great guitar playing is not about "chops" to me, but it might be to someone else. What exactly is "chops"?
I agree with you on 4) taste! It is not longhaired at all. Maybe there is more....
