All about preference, some people play faster on fatter necks which Les Pauls are know to have. Some people play faster on thin necks like Ibanez guitars have. Don't believe anyone but your self when it comes to guitars and music.

Really? Ditching a good guitar like an LP will make you better?
Ditch that advise and get a qualified teacher.
The cool thing about guitar is you can LEARN anything you want with enough practice. Quality instruction will get you practicing and learning better.

Google yourself....I HAVE seen vid of you BURNING on a Les Paul.
They say a lot of the greatest players are the 'dead' ones. Both are arguable.

.....I'm hoping to return to doing live shows again fairly soon.......If you do that...then I am going to go see it.
If a dead guy can play again, then I could go out and see music again.

If you listen to some of the 'Oldies' you'll hear them shread, ie, Scotty Moore on Elvis stuff.
How about 'Rock around the clock'? Perhaps the first rock shred solo?
Listen around 0.36s

these people you ask have no brain cells, a les paul has a neck,frets,strings just like any other guitar...you can play as fast or slow as you like. (providing you have the abilty of course)
