As I questioned earlier, to those of you think he isn't soulful, who is a soulful guitarist?

I think there is a certain soulful quality to guitarists who, in a way, don't know what they're doing (compared to someone like buckethead); like Hendrix, for example. I think it has something to do with the spontaneity of their playing. From my experience, sometimes the best or most beautiful sounds come from your guitar when you least expect it, when you're not even thinking.Too much thought and planning can destroy the magic of being in the moment and really feeling it. Which Is a place where soul is often found, in my opinion.
