Maybe their looking at other things you would bring to the band. Background vocals or lead vocals, BEER, wild women, or maybe it's because you still have a drivers license. If they like you and you like them, make music!!!!
Here's some Floyd Parts, You might try asking on the Charvel Forum also, those guys are always working on older Schaller Floyds. They might have some parts. http://www.guitarnucleus.com/gnstore/tremolo.html http://www.guitarnucleus.com/gnstore/floyd_saddle_info.htm
The first time I heard Danny Cedrone play the solo on Rock around the Clock for Bill Haley and the Comets. Obviously a recorded version other wise I'd be to old to breath. I still think it is one of the coolest guitar solo's ever.......Followed by some of Chet Atkins work. Here's some of his work, obviously the band was syncing to a tape. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdRaQZCOEf4 Check out the ride on Hot Dog Buddy Buddy.....Pure 1950's distortion on a ride yeehaw!!!!!
