Keith will play one note and stretch more emotion and feel out of that one note...
The difference isn't as stark as EVH/Clapton however. Keith can rip it out big time...and Neal can play with some bad ass emotion...
I just think, even saying the above, it's hard to compare the two. They're both amazing guitarists...
Spot on assessment.
As for EVH/Clapton, it's interesting to note that Clapton was one of EVH's biggest influences. I believe I remember him saying he had learned all of Clapton's solos at one point. The only solo I can point to right off that shows that influence is the one to "When It's Love". I'm sure there are others but that one is obvious to me.
