As soon as I get in a rhythm, I'm very hard to stop.
When you're first starting out, there's always the temptation to hide behind distortion because it lets you get away with murder. But, when it comes to rhythm work, you've gotta back off that gain control a bit, especially if you're playing with another guitarist.
Or the other process that is important is that I compress longer sections of composed music, either found or made by myself, to such an extent that the rhythm becomes a timbre, and formal subdivisions become rhythm.
I'd much rather do one or two takes of one thing and then see how it goes.
Lots of times I'll play lead and rhythm together.
My visuals are typically very powerful. The rhythm is fast. The cuts are fast.

To me, drum soloing is like doing a marathon and solving equations at the same time.
I always try to do more than one or two takes if we have the time.
