Basshole Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Whats your favorite guitar to play rythem on, to keep flow, not to solo or do a chop but just to keep the song moving. A guitar just to play chords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I don't know that I have one favorite for that, it really depends on the song and the sound I'm going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstMeasure Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Les Paul Jr. fits that bill for me. Unless it's metal, then a Jackson DK2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Depends, of course...but, for the sake of argument...Telecaster, or Gretsch Duo-Jet (with Dynasonics)..for me. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 For strumming type songs I would definately say my Strat. Have you ever noticed that most (not all) guitarists/vocalist are Strat players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wicked1 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Don't tell him, but when Homz is at work....I play rhythm on his LP. Not strumming, mind you. Just using it as a percussion instrument. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Robot Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I dont have a tele, so I guess I have to bow to the others that have, but my ES335 is better than my Strat for this. It has a more mellow tone, less harsh than the Strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I'm with Mr. Robot on this one. I use my ES-335 on much of my rhythm stuff, I LOVE the tone and easily controlled feedback from it. My Tele works for lighter stuff, more strumming/percussive sound. For big time Rock n Roll power chords with lotsa sustain I use a Les Paul.

hiway52 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I've played Gibson Flying Vs almost exclusively for over 20 years! I was initially influenced by Rudolf Schenker from the Scorps and his slicing rhythm/ chord sounds and that's still the tone I chase! My band released an album last year-- www.myspace.com/section30band Most of the harder rockin' rhythm guitars and feedback notes here were done with my black '81 flying V fitted with Duncan Alnico IIs. The "loose-o-matic" bridge was so rattley I replaced it with a TONEPROS system... I HIGHLY recommend this for any of you having bridge issues! I know it's sacreligious to alter an older axe like this but she's a player and I need her to be consistent and reliable. I used a Dual Rectifier for the harder tones, which is OK but not my dream amp... even so you can still hear my Flying V's crunch and punch coming through. That's a Vox AC30 for the clean/ shimmering sounds. I use a 1995 '67 reissue flying V live but my '81 will always be my go-to guitar for rhythm sounds, clean and dirty... for me it has the perfect combination of warmth, clarity and punch to cut through any mix!
