Specific Les Paul playing tips

The more I dig into my LP, the more I realize why some of my fave players played the way they did. I'm finding that the "Joe Pass" way of 2 and 3-note chords works best, and that full chords sometimes get woofy. Anybody else find this?

I'm also finding I can't do the drone string thing I like to do with my Strat as well. Again, woofy.

Any other overall differences in your technique when you play a LP vs. say a Strat? It'd be nice to see a good list

A proper set-up, geared specifically for that Lester, sounds to be in order. .. Perhaps, a small part change, here or there, too; If necessary. ... I enjoy the big chords and the drone-string thang, too (check out "Skitso" in my site below, that one's all drone and big chords!); And after almost 20 years of playing/setting up/tweaking these particular guitars, there really hasn't been a one that I couldn't get to steer/drive the way I need it to! .. Of course, it isn't going to sound/do exactly what the Strat does (and why the HELL would ya want it to!? :wah), but there's NO reason why ya shouldn't be able to do those thangs ya wanna do, on it. :jim
