I think that his finger-tapping style on the strings coupled with a distinctive sound / guitar tune set him apart just as Hendrix and Page had in that generation. I'm not a guitarist so I don't know if he 'invented' that or not, but no one can argue that he made it his own.

Further my opinion is he and his band changed rock music like no other contemporary at that time
