He's probably also trying to find space so that he doesn't absolutely kill certain songs with organ and/or piano. For example, he started playing piano on the DYR chorus with a slight bit of organ rather than just the screeching organ he started with.
That's great. Round of applause for Buddy. I don't blame him for the lack of variety, though. And what "parts" is he nailing? If he's jamming, there ain't much to memorize outside of the key of the song. Let him find space. Let him sit back and not force himself. All well and good.

None of that has anything to do with the lack of variety.
