iansmitchell Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 The genres you play, the guitars you play them on, amp, and what(if any) mods on the guitar. For example: Blues, rock n' roll: Epiphone dot(ebony) with GFS mean 90 bridge/vintage 59 neck, roller bridge and gibson pots. Punk, ska, metal: B.C. rich bronze series warlock(red) with rockfield fat *** bridge/GFS vintage 59 neck, hardwired tone for individual volume controls. Amplifier: Fender red knob twin. Go!

matiac Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Just about everything on my soundclick page was done with 'ol Blue in various stages of alteration. "Steel Toed Sneakers" was done with the guitar stone stock, and as you go up the list, I dunno about anyone else, but I hear how the guitars changed tonally over that time frame.

CodeMonk Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Epi LP : Various styles of Rock (Metal, Classic, Soft, Southern). Strat : Mostly blues, sometimes wild all out rock (with some whammy bar action). I like the strat for some of those southern rock type arpeggios (Think Allman Bros type stuff).

byrds1965 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 My 335 or SG for any style bandwise. At home on demo songs whatever fits the song. Whatever guitar that can get the sound I want at the moment is the one that gets used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricochet Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 No preference. My Epi LP is my fave guitar period. I'll play anything on it(mainly hardrock and blues). It's not like when I'm in Hendrix-mode I'll switch to a Strat or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I play blues and classic rock based music in a church praise band. Since we have 3 electric players and 1 acoustic play, along with piano and bass, I get to improvise widely. I play power chords, lead riffs, and solos, along with some harmony fills with the lead singer. It's a blast to get to do that again after being out of a regular band for years. The more Christian rock we play, the better the crowd likes it. We usually have a second practice after regular practice for 30-45 minutes and go over a few top 40 classic rock tunes to stay in touch for a few gigs we do on the side. Mostly Clapton, Credence, Buddy Guy, SRV, and Skynyrd type stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Sentry Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Lately I've been playing a lot of blues, country, gospel, and a bit of funk vs. other styles (I like hard rock...but sometimes that's what one plays. It all depends on what is called for.) I've been showing up with my Epiphones for this sort of music. Although they aren't as bright as my strats, the tone tends to be a bit fuller without crunch applied. (Especially my LP custom which has the Gibson Burstbuckers with the Alcino V's. It has a really nice balance on the high end...especially for a Les Paul.) I have to admit though that if I want more crunch....(very light to moderate mix)....I may end up using the strats more often because once you have some crunch, the tone quality is not AS important....and the single coils are more responsive as far as volume controls are concerned. (Plus if you dial back the single coil it's not quite as dark or muddy vs. a humbucker.) But as far as ULTRA specifics vs. genres... I tend to mix it up. And, in truth, it often depends on whether or not there is a second or third guitar player. (Since I moved into a semi-rural area, you tend to see a lot of Fenders out here...so I will typically show up with the Epiphones just to balance it all out. Right now I'm jamming with a live band once or twice a week..but nothing steady. Anyways, back to practice!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookelputz Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I play mostly ohno music. At least that's what everyone says when I start to play. But to answer the question, I mostly butcher some blues on a Les Paul Junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svet Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Only two of my guitars are genre specific and this is due to the strings that are used on them. My Epiphone Emperor Regent and my Eastman 810 ce are both set up using flat wound string sets so they are only good for jazz. My other arch tops have round wound sets and can be used for blues or rockabilly type stuff. The LP, 335, Strat, Tele types can all be used for anything!
