take the guitar part away and the song is diminished

Totally agree. What, for example, is left if you remove the stunning guitar part from Nic Jones' 'Canadee-I-O'? "
Interesting comment because in my opinion, he was a fabulous accompnist, who had a commanding stage presence,but in my opinion was rather a crooner as a singer.
but all these things are a matter of taste, in my opinion Dave Swarbrick was a fantastic accompanist whose equal as violin accompanist has not been equalled, and certainly in my opinion is in a different league to any other violin accompanist in the uk revival, in the last 30 years, but that is not fact it is personal taste.
