No he's not. He is still average and the example you posted shows this. He does the same lick over and over and over again, either fast, either slow, either high, either low, and yet still messes up several times. Yes, he can play Rock & Roll, but that's about all he can do. Just because it's better than the very awful In These Arms guitar solo it's still nothing special.
I've heard him play for other artists as well and as soon as it's stuff that actually requires him to solo over more than a standard blues/rock & roll scale he's lost. I'm not bitching about his voice because it's excellent and it's clear that he helps Jon a lot. Bed Of Roses wouldn't sound the same without him. And the It's Just Me guitar solo is just noise. The way he plays that one is how I play it on an off day.
