I used to pick things up piss around with them a bit, wnader off with them and then loose them! Perhaps I've just grown out of that now but I think playing guitar got me out of the habit, perhaps I just don't have time for mindless fidgetting now!
On a different note I have a shredder to recommend; VINNIE MOORE, the guy is somewhere between Malmsteemious neo-classical stuff and bluesy rocky/satchy stuff. He's very versatile, a top musician and has fabulous technique, thought I'd better mention him since nobody else has. he' one of the few to have a style of his own and is one of my favourites.
If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?
