casapete Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 With their amplifier or effects board, all of which have far too many knobs to entertain them. ( They should be made to play bass for a song or two, so they understand you can't drop out one note, let alone a whole bloody verse....) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is it nice having the task of filling them in? They all make good use of dynamics and light and shade. These are very effective tools. We don't have to be filling the sound out and playing all the time. If they are talking to the audience, for instance, most are quite happy to stop playing and let the bass and drums continue.

He said he found it very tiring, because he had to be playing all the time and couldn't take any breaks!! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Soup Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) Serious answer............. If it was a 3 piece to play some of my punkier/new-wavier stuff then I'd like a non-Gibson like a Jaguar though a nicely overdriven valve combo. Boost pedal for solo/lead. Otherwise maybe it could be to play some more experimental, rhythmically-driven stuff where the guitarist would play some sharp, often sparse, imaginative, echo-ey stuff with a Tele, clean channel amp like Peavy Bandit and a reasonable pedal board for echo and tremelo etc. Edited May 29, 2021 by Nail Soup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 The guitarist in my blues/rock trio plays all manner of guitars. His main one is an 80s Fender Strat but he always swaps for a Gibson for some songs - historically a Les Paul or 335 but he recently bought a Flying V. Then a cheapo Les Paul copy tuned to an open chord for slide. To be fair, whatever he plays he absolutely smokes it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterMute Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 PRS mainly, but as his formula for the correct numbers of guitars is (number of current guitars)+1 then anything might turn up. He'll be playing too loud with everything cranked up... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
