Oh, I see what you mean. It didn't bother me. Now it will. Thanks!
As for his tendency to stick with one string, I know what you mean. Let's just be glad he is using one string as opposed to
one note a la The Chain. Lindsey is not much of solo player and he has said so himself. I suspect he's slightly intimidated by them. He's great with crafting songs and adding tremendous hooks and licks, but the solos must be a real challenge for him. Even so, he's come up with beautiful solos, be it the screeching ones like Countdown and Tango in the Night or the soothing melodic ones like Steal Your Heart Away and Oh Diane.
