As we learn solos mellow with age. Less is more with musical experience. I never liked solos which are just a million notes without a destination.
I can still play pedals pretty well even though I only have a 13 note PK5 hooked to my BK9. And no bench so its hard to play properly. Love to get an SKX with an 18 note pedalboard but space and reality stops me.
I always had sustain on my pedals on my B3. Nova IV unit and it was killer. Later I found out all those guys were doing LH. No one could ever teach me so I figured it was all pedals on those JS records and practiced a lot. Got pretty good and it worked well as I could comp with my LH for a fuller sound.
Still a nice job so keep playing.
