gafbass02 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I know a guitarist like this now. Does my head in. No idea about dynamics or when to STFU either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I know quite a few like that, it was the reason I opted to play guitar in my last band My best mate many, many years ago was like that. He was fantastic at sweeping and arpeggios and all kinds of lead w***ery but simply couldn't hold a rhythm to save his life. Still, he was a mate, so we started a band where the drummer and I just jammed (there was no point writing songs, he'd never remember) and he fluted around while another mate did some stream of consciousness vocals over it. It was as good and as bad as it sounds but we got almost two years of gigging out of it. Sometimes we would throw in a cover of Paranoid (we were all huge Sabbath fans) but he couldn't even play that right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
