Hi Donny,
being an old guitar player myself, the wheel is very important to me. But unlike Michael I'm not as fast with my left hand switching between cords and wheelee all the time.
A good compromise for the slower folks like me is to use the glide function via foot pedal inbetween.
It works better for the horns and saxas I must say, but not to bad for the guitars either.
Try it out. After a little practice it's a lot of fun and can ad quite a bit to your playing
Eric
