Hi esbark,
It's easy to see why you were inspired, RB makes it look so easy.
You could also listen to (and read up on) Cliff Gallup who was the guitarist on Gene Vincent's earliest hits. He played a Gretsch hybrid style and inspired guitarists such as Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Brian Setzer and many others. Some of the tunes he is featured on are Be-Bop-a-Lula, Race With the Devil, Catman and Who Slapped John.
