I love B harmonic minor, scale that timmy uses in the solo for nancies/L@LC. Sexy as hell.

I use which ever complements the song I'm playing best.

Hmmm...thats a pretty ignorant statement.

They're both stylistic devices, one isn't "better" than the other.

If they're both the same I would like hear him play with slides as fast as he can play with h.o. I would also like to hear him play SMTS using h.o. instead of slides.
