I tried that shit for a while. Until I need to cut weight I won't do it again. I'm a cranky bastard with low carb intake.

Solos in general annoy the shit out of me with rare exception, but I can appreciate the talent involved.

I'm not really sure what the potential is, but I go based on patterns, during some solo stuff I catch myself wanting to go higher on the 4 string sometimes but there's nothing there. I like to do a lot of droning patterns using my thumb on the open A and then doing some banjo picking on the D and G to play a melody over top. A part of me would love to experiment using an open D and picking on a G and C etc. Plus the dynamics of going from a high C to the low B can be really sweet.

I hate solos that sound like scale exercises. No offense to Steve Vai fans but his solos sound lifeless to me.

Be aware, people like you don't get their own coke bottles.

Yeah. But actually, my energy levels seem to be a lot better this way. I just get food cravings...

You'd probably hate my bass player then. Seeing a bass player with more than 4 strings makes agent orange act up.

You could always get one of these...
