hmmm... it was original the first time he did it... but now he's done it too many times... too many copycats... agreed... but, the fact stands that he invented a ton of techniques on the guitar that a lot of people learned from. Maybe he's finished innovating but that's no reason to put him in a museum. He's still alive for god's sakes... aren't museums for dead things?
