What are you going to do for your rhythm cables? Do you have some way you switch back and forth while playing?
Excellent question - I've had Bradshaw set up a switching system that will automatically re-direct signals from my guitar by a sound processing based CPU that understand not only chordal sequences (rhythm guitar), but also the chromatic scale - so that when I play any solos, an entirely different set of "solo specific cables" are employed.
It's crazy, but Tag and I have really found out how to capture the perfect tone...

What have you found for rhythm and lead picks? I've found that when students had trouble with rhythm they were usually using lead picks on the rhythm strings. Rhythm picks on lead strings is total chaos!
Excellent question. I have carbon fiber/nickel alloy/polymer set custom picks; one for each string. The tonal explosion is in yer face - no denying it. It does make arpeggios a bit tedious, what with the swapping of plectrums for each string, but this prototype neck mounted plectrum dispenser has been priceless is assisting me with this endeavor.
In addition to the plectrum-per-string approach to playing (which is catching on very fast, as you'll soon see), we're also working with high pressure emmissions of cryogenically "frozen" air to be released IN FRONT of the cabinet during certain times of playing. It's amazing the difference in sound, it really brings out the 'shimmer' in the highs and the 'groundshake' in the lower frequencies. Word of caution though, as I typically test this in my studio (read: my 11' x 10' bedroom in my parent's home), the cryogenically frozen air can wreak havoc on one's lungs and household pets.
ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE: I'll stop this insanity, right this second!! Sorry guy's I had to, it was just ripe for the taking
