Sorry if I get this wrong, but didn't you mention before that you like the album 'Horses' (1975) by Patti Smith? I think Lenny Kaye of t Patti Smith Group is another interesting guitarist (Tom Verlaine and Allen Lanier also contributed guitar parts to that album). Kaye's gone on to produce a number of records for other musicians. Over the years, he's worked with some of my favourites, including Suzanne Vega, Kristin Hersh and R.E.M.

In more recent years, Kaye worked with Walter Lure on the annual 'Johnny Thunders Birthday Bash' commemorative concerts held in mid-July in New York City.

Horses is probably my all time fave and like Kaye but don't necessarily think he stands out in the way some others do. He likes to be old school garage type and should also be greatly respected for putting together the "Nuggets" album which was so seminal. Huge figure on the NYC scene as you say.

Good call on 'Nuggets', a rites of passage for psych heads everywhere and testament to Lenny Kaye's passion for music.

Here's a quote I think you might like from Richard Lloyd about his own guitar playing which has had its fair share of critics over the years.
