no, getting Stephen to do it(a max out of his skills one too, with some fast finger tapping thrown in, not some super slow short one), now that would be the ultimate prize. i think he can do one like that to a degree, but he just flat out won't. Richie from sol invcto says he can shred, and we've seen little glimpses. just do it on an album dumb dumb

Yeah a traditional slower Blues based Rock solo wouldn't be as cool as if Stephen took inspiration from Buckethead/Tom Morello and combined finger tapping/finger nubbing and a kill switch.

Since Steph is also such a big Meshugga fan too it'd be cool if Stephen also took inspiration from Fredrik Thordendal and used a MIDI breath controller in the solo too like Fredrik uses and combined it with an Eventide H9000 to really make a weird sounding solo.

If Stephen did this with Abe playing double bass in the same song my head would explode with glee.
