This is probably the best route for you. In the studio, it doesn't really matter because you can keep layering the tracks you need. For live, the only time a rhythm is crucial is for harmonies and the such. Lots of bands get away with just a bass anchoring rhythm with solos over it. Bryan Beller from Dethklok re-wrote the bass lines to cover the bass and guitar parts while the other guitarist were doing some harmony thing. That could work to.
