I'm also a big fan of Jeff Young, although he's completely different from Poland. I prefer both over Friedman.
I remember hearing that he had some hand injury that gave one of his fingers a weird way of reaching across the neck of a guitar, which added a little something different to how he played with that finger, sort of like Tony Iommi and missing half of one finger.
