We all know that at one point in our musical journey, we have had this thought - should I get a lead guitar or a rhythm guitar?



I admit I had it when I was about 13-14 years of age and I was strongly admitting that Gibson is a rhythm guitar for certain

That explains why I cant play face melting shred solos, I went and bought the wrong guitar

When i started playing the gtr James Hetfield made me think that Explorer is for rhythm

Haha I don't know what I'd do if I was limited to one or the other. I love Fenders, but I've always been a Tele guy over Strats I just love the whole look and feel of a nice Tele

The rhythm and lead guitar distinction is very important, it helps you justify more guitars to your wife!

'I'm looking to buy this awesome guitar'

But you already have that one there

Honey that is a rhythm guitar, this one is a lead guitar

I sometimes wish I had bought a rythm guitar, cause apparently my guitars can't play rythm at all!

I got a Spanish Guitar and its limited to Spanish music

Even more. You got to be Spanish to play Spanish guitar, or it just won't work

Haha, u don't want to make Banger mad now

maybe if you marry someone Spanish you'll be able to knock out a few chords on it..... although they will probably still be Spanish chords!

No offence Rod just kidding

Posted by: Headbanger Sep 19 2013, 03:31 PM

None taken!...Where exactly do you live in Russia Jouve ?




I married someone Spanish...that would piss my British wife off big time!!

Posted by: Jouve Sep 19 2013, 03:33 PM

I won't tell you cause these kind of questions make me think about the value of living

Posted by: Headbanger Sep 19 2013, 03:35 PM

I would worry more about Slavenko....he's not called eraser for nothing

When I was in high school there was kid that would ask me - when he saw my rectangular Fender case - "lead or bass?". It still cracks me up when I think about it.

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 20 2013, 07:25 AM

Yes!!!!!! God, I can't believe I wasn't the only one who was religiously thinking like that



Well, we'll make them learn that, right? Why the hell did you get a 7 string if ya ain't riffin on it?



So there's a reason to it! Thanks man! I NEVER thought about that - because I ain't married probably

I used to back in the day. I've had the guitar for ten years and back when I bought it I played some more Dream Theater. And I actually specifically got it so I could play A Change of Season. I still think I can remember the first 7 minutes of it or so.
