i'm totally hard for this solo album. can't wait for it really. i may be one of the only ones on this forum that got a raging semi when he read that it was musically complicated. Jeff is one of my favorite guitarrists, but NM is'nt one of my favorite bands. i love most of their stuff but the highlight for me is the guitars. and i can't wait to hear jeff tear things up on this album.
as far as the pinch harmonics are concerned... it's cool when used in moderation, just like every other guitar skill and trick. jeff is a genious at blending styles and i'm sure that if he wants to use pinch harmonics he won't go overboard with it. we know he'll never go zach wylde on us.
