... I can't quite put a finger on his guitar style, but it has some very good "riffs" added in there that I wish I could learn. Even a little bit. ...

You can't put a finger on it because I don't know anyone else that plays that hybrid style (pick and fingers) outside of the chicken-picker telecaster country folks. I know there are probably others (and MAB has most likely seen a few), but I haven't seen anyone else do it.

Now Darrell is a multi-instrumentalist and was an in-demand session player for awhile so he has probably combined styles from other instruments and other Nashville greats. In any case, due to his playing style he is pretty dang original to my ears.
