- That really has very little to do with it. Ever hear jazz legend Django
- Reinhardt? He is considered to be one of the greats of Jazz, and he had
- only 2 fingers and a stump on his fretting hand.

- Randy is the finer technician, but I think Tony is the more emotional
- player by far!
- And as for his "rambling", maybe live, but rarely in the studio, although
- a lot of the leads on "Tyr" fit that description perfectly!
