How do other people in two guitar bands manage this? Help? Suggestions please? Come to my aid! Aid is on it's way Being the only guitar is easy, just have to do everything and doesn't have to bother. Two guitars, a different story. NEVER try to play the exact same rhythm, unless you got it all together. Even if you do it will sound thicker if one play f.ex an F with its root on the thick E string while the other play it root on the A string. If both try to play the exact same thing, it will not sound as good. I mean, what's the point? Rather have one guitarist do it and run it through yet a set of cabinets. Nah, a fat rhythm can be sweet but both really have to be syncronised. How do we archive it in the band I'm in, that got two guitarists? First and most important, decide the roles for each song. Who will play what? If both do different chord positions it may sound better and if it's deifficult, one does the rhythm pattern and the other can just strike a chord and let it ring. As soon as things start to sound crappy, break it up, especially if they can't realize it themselves and correct themselves. It's GOOD if someone (you?) can perform as manager to keep things organised. Discuss the approach before each song. Make notes to use at the next session (with plenty of songs it's sometimes easy to forget tiny details) * Dont play the exact same stuff * Maybe do chords in different octaves. One may do licks the other rhythm etc. There's a lot of approaches. * Decide before the song who does what * Take notes * Have a manager to steer things up Hope you can use one or two things of my band experiences that applies to yours EDIT: And I think that avatar of yours of a screaming man speaks for itself This post has been edited by MickeM: Jun 23 2007, 11:32 PM -------------------- My bands homepage
