Notes, I agree with you about the sax players you mentioned. The difference between them and the guitar shredders today, IMO, is those musicians knew when to breath, when to play slow, when to rest and when to use dynamics.

You can add just about all of the great jazz musicians in that category.

When I was playing out I only have one guitar lead rule and that was my lead must fit the song the band is playing. For instance slow song = slow lead, 50's rock = 50's lead, jazz standard = jazz lead etc. That simple formula made a lot of money for our wedding band and me.

My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.
