Good observations; I think he was exposed to some of the english folk guys also; Thompson and Martyn etc. Funny how the Band of Gypsies never really worked out. My take on Jimi is he wasn't a pyro-tech guy, he had this melodic and slightly dragged out style like the old blues guys. So to compare the two is not fair in terms of musical ability. Jimi just played more music while Eddie had chops. I'm sure this has been done to death. But I agree regarding Jeff Beck, he seems to have paved the way for the guitar a a lead instrument in Rock and Roll; do you think Miles was copying some of the guitar licks when he made some of the later fusion albums?
