I think hes one of the only guitarists today (in the mainstream) who actually takes his overall style seriously. But yes I do feel that hes holding himself back a bit, I mean hes capable of so much more as a guitarist, hopefully we'll be hearing some more of his flashy style on the next Creed record. I'de love to hear some of his extended guitar solos, I feel he really has something special to offer to the music industry, (not to say that he hasn't already brought something great to the field), but I think he could do much better. Once hes given the feeedom, he should take it.
