Also, something to think about, notice this parallel that Ichigo's FGT has with Uryu's Letzt Stil:

Uryu has this protrusion of Reiryoku on his right shoulder (a bow quiver, to be exact). Ichigo in FGT had something similar, and on his right shoulder as well. Though i believe Ichigo might have had it on both shoulders, had his left arm not been damaged by Aizen's blast just beforehand. (Maybe not, and it's just something that takes place on the shoulder of the arm with the dominant hand. At least maybe in Ichigo's case.)

Also, you may wonder about the issue of the Sanrei Glove, or like the Sternritters who have an alternate method in place of a glove. Maybe for Ichigo, this is where his Quincy nature intersects with his Shinigami nature, and his method is to simply call upon the technique.
