True; vocabulary isn&#x27;t just about knowing words, it&#x27;s about knowing the right words. That applies to playing an instrument as well, especially soloing. I&#x27;m glad I spent a half-dozen years wanting to be a shredder, because learning the speed and stamina is extremely useful later on when playing slower and more contemplative. It&#x27;s back to the vocabulary thing though, in that having the choice of what to use tends to come along with having the prowess to afford the choice.
