Poland plays with all these subtle bends and adds a lot of tonal tension in his melodies, making it sound quite jazzy at times.

I think most of the band's lead guitarists have been interesting. Chris Broderick and Glen Drover somewhat excepted.
Ja, Poland is most definitely the best Megadeth guitarist all around and is jazzy as ****.
