Bard One-on-One solo?

[Nagoya]

Just a out-of-curiosity question about one the classes I understand the least in EQ;

I obviously know that bard are King's of soloing with their kiting abilities. I also understand what a bard does in a group, but I never played one.

My question is so-forth: can they go one-on-one versus a white and just solo the mob in a relatively fast (read: faster than running in circles) way?

I'm not asking if it's a good way to xp or anything. Just curious how they would do it.

Charm another mob and make them duel?
Slow mob, haste self and melee is enough?

Say you're level 45 or so, waiting outside City of Mist when you get jumped by a blue gorilla; do you just selo/dot kite it? Do you zone? Or can you whack it down one-on-one relatively easily? (Let's cheat and say you'd have the perfect songs to do so memmed up [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])

Once again, just because I don't know and I'm curious; nothing to do with the viability of such a strategy [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thanks bards if you can answer!
