Myself, I've always admired that 'biga-da-bigida' triplet pattern that Les kinda made his own. Good on ya for spending tha much time in the woodshed !

The fretless is only two holes away from getting Signature electronics, should make it even more awesome! :-) (now I must learn to play it in a proper manner) Here's a nice one, from the master himself: Les Claypool playing a part of Master of puppets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZDdrUi1HzI
