ZOSO1215 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I've been reading a lot of guitar mags/this forum/watched videos lately and I don't think I have ever heard as a diverse group of descriptive words as I have for the sounds that we make with our guitars. I just watched a video on the new Mesa Boogie Mark V (which looks f'in awesome) and the guy playing described one of the channels as "animalistic." I heard John Mayer and others describe guitar tone as "molten glass." This list could go on ad infinitum...so let's keep it going. Post some of your favorite, or most outlandish, descriptive words...

RichCI Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 None that I especially like, but I particularly hate "creamy" and "vintage." Probably the two most abused adjectives in the guitar world, especially when it comes to marketing hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruznolfart Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I nominate "plays like buddah" or any derivative thereof for immediate and permanent obscurity. Similar for anything having to do with ears bleeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruznolfart Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 We really can't say ridiculous? What the PHUCK is up with that? The filters speak Spanish. The word "C-u-l-o" (***) is contained in the word redicu-lous. Welcome to the 21st century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuckomf Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 violin-like thick dark warm loose tight hot sparkling And I have yet to see a guitar that doesn't have some sort of reference to the amount of midrange in the tone. They're all apparently super midrangey. I get Taylor's "Wood & Steel" every once in a while, and some of their descriptive terms are ridassulous. "The warm, woody, dark tone of this guitar blends with its tight midrange and sparkling highs that blibbity blobbity artsy fartsy blah blah." At least in one issue they tried to describe what their terms actually meant. I want to make a joke about something "warm and woody" combining with something that's "tight and hot" but I can't think of how to start it out, so I'm typing this.
