Any Guitarists/songwriters who have studied Syd Barrett's

[Zambero]

4. As guitarist, more of a texturalist more than a soloist

Barrett was ahead of the pack in developing unique soundscapes to match the flavor of his lyrics. He didn't construct conventional solos per se, favoring fills and eerie sound washes that focused more on atmosphere than melody. He was also ingenious in creating sounds from devices that no one had ever thought to use before, such as a zippo lighter for unorthodox slide styling, played much higher on the neck than, say, Elmore James ever attempted.
