I have that problem though, anytime i write something i think is original; ill record it, play it back, & hear someone else in it. It may only be two notes in a whole measure, but it unnerves me.

I didnt listen to any of the clips up top, but I hear the main riff for "sunshine of your love" in the main riff for "aint talking bout love". At least the vibrato at the end of each riff.

It's the phrasing of the blues licks. Ed adds some of his shred in between but if you edit those parts out, it's EXACTLY as Joe described it. You can hear it. It’s the phrasing of the blues licks.

EVH's phrasing is VERY Clapton. Also, Bonomassa, IMO, is the BEST player that's been came out since EVH, he just doesnt have the commerical success. Ive heard so many talented, hot shot young blues-guys, and some not so hot-shot (certain Strat playing serial hollywood dater comes to mind), but all of them, when I'd listen, were derivative from some other player. I can only hear Eric Clapton, SRV,etc. J.Bonomassa is the first original blues player Ive heard in years. The man can SHRED, but most of the time doesnt, and knows his tone. I have the Carol-Ann amp company only a few miles from my home, and have been lucky enough to play them, and get some tips on my own builds and mods from the player. They're like a Dumble with a british parent. BTW; I have to say, I could do with less EVH acticles. I know its one guys website, and a great one (though i disagree regularly, like when he wrote that besides Ritchie Blackmore, and maybe one other guy, i dont remmeber are the only real players w/a good Strat-rock sound; totally ignoring Gilmour (which is a mortal sin to me), Mike McCready from Pearl Jam, who along with Stone Gossard are 2of the most underrated guitar players there are, (ALive, one of my favortie solo's from that era) etc. But for the most part,its a great site, good ideas and things that get me to think differently. ***As an amp tech, (and luthier), I want to make a PSA for guys replacing tubes; there is a certain unnambed tube company(they have 2 words, their tubes have the 2 first letters of each on the tubes, and its not Electro Harmonix). They do not make their own tubes, you're just paying an extra $10-20 to buy a tube that you could buy from the original company. They're basically a company that matches tubes.

The thing that first stuck out for me is the studio solo from 'i'm so glad', it just seems like you COULD tap it out EVH style.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3GIQ86eu6c the tone's there too....
