He wouldn't have copped Pino's style...Pino is far more understated.

I used to hate Pino's playing...this was in the days of Paul Young...but since he sacked the fretless shit, you can't deny how bloody good he is. I hear that back in the days of sessions in the Paul Young days, he kind of got blacklisted by a lot of people for charging too much; at one point, he was quoting £1,500 for a session, a hell of a lot of money for those days.

Can't deny how good he is playing with John Mayer too.
