Guest,Steve N, they weren't my examples -- I was responding to the examples given by others. I don't own, but have heard much of, his "Good As I Been To You" album. Again, it's functional, but not something that I would point to as an example of particularly compelling guitar playing. I could certainly play the parts as well as he does; they're not difficult.

Alanabit, I get your point, and I agree -- his playing works for what he's trying to do. It seemed to me that something more than that was implied in Rick's and Little Hawk's postings, but perhaps I read too much into it.
