Come on...after jamming with BB King, Muddy Waters, Curtis Mayfield, Albert King, Steve Cropper and other blues and R&B LEGENDS, you don't think he took a thing or two? Especially from Cropper and jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery? I'm sure he just made all of them better, and rejected everything they did.
I know it's just anecdotal, but Guitar Shorty swears his licks are in "Purple Haze".
