Andy Summers is cool. Way cool. I love his playing for the same reasons as you've stated, as well as his unique ability to create airy, atmospheric tones as backdrops to a song using layered and textural guitar parts. A good example of this in action is found on the mondo-hit "King of Pain" off their Synchronicity album. Simply beautiful. And then, put that all together with a modified, almost reggae-style groove - pure genius!
