Big fan. Saw the dead weather a couple years ago, jack came out and played guitar for "will there be enough water". He played an epic solo, jamme so hard that he went crashing into a speaker and kept jamming while he was on the ground. I was close to front row, it really blew me away. He's not the most technical player, you don't have to tell me. But as mentioned, hes one hell of a riffer. And while he may not be the most technical, he's not that bad. He has a real unique and distinct style and tone. He's a great songrwriter, and he's pretty good on the keys and drums as well.
And I think the little blues revival of the late 20th and 21st century can be credited to jack white. There's been a lot of simple, 2 to 3 man bands in the last 10 years that have been following in his and the black keys footsteps.
