Larry less is more in my style of playing..we all do it different, to me pedals are a crutch & hindrance vs lightning fast changes with my fingers regarding sounds, and fills..Piano is not a major concern for me a sustain pedal effect can be obtained with a particular fingering technique of playing as I do, plus it,s less to hook up and breakdown...Good luck with the way it works for you. No Pedals, No Charts, No lyrics, is the way I roll..
