It also seems like there’s nothing to it, until you play the parts that is. They sound so simple, but they have some really neat rhythms that are so musical and catchy. This will sound odd, but in that respect he reminds me of Mark Knopfler—solos and melodies based on chords, with inventive rhythms.

If you play along to Cuban music, add some skronk blues and a bit of chromaticism you can get where he's coming from on Rain Dogs. I also like the stuff he does on the Raising Sand album.
You need an idea of what you are going to do, but it should be a vague idea.

My favourite of his solo project tracks, is maybe:
His playing with John Zorn's Electric Masada is also so good. He manages to channel his own thing, but also bits of funk, and bits of McLaughlin's Bitches Brew/In A Silent Way style.
I can't find the right version of some of the tunes that are on the Electric Masada 50th anniversary live album on Youtube, though. But those two are a pretty good taste.
