>Lead Guitarist
Necesarry
>Rhythmn Guitarist
Yeah sure
>Bass guitarist
Now hold the fuck on now..

Midwest emo did that. 1 guitar for right channel, 1 guitar for left channel and 1 guitar for centre.

2 guitarists 1 bassist

>they all point the headstocks at the audience machinegun style in unison while playing live

>>127093543
Bass guitar is still a guitar son. Also Paul sometimes played lead guitar whenever George was too incompetent to play

I always died at Radiohead's live arrangements where Thom would do vocals and play the secondary guitar line behind Johnny and they'd stick Ed in the back doing nothing. On Reckoner Thom does vocals and guitar and they put Ed on tambourine for Christ's sake.

Radiohead

Is there anyone more useless than a "Lead" guitarist? The bassist is already playing melody and the rhythmn guitarist or keyboardist can also play melody if they need to.

If anyone can remember the RL Stine novel (I think it was Fear Street) where the protagonist watches a band with 5 guitarists at the school dance I'll be real happy

Also Glenn Branca and Polyphonic Spree did like 20+ guitarists

>>127093590
Depends how they write the songs

>>127093599
also as a lead you can also play the rhythm so wouldn't the rhythm guitarist be useless?

>>127093590
The bass doesn't typically play the melody but this is a bait post and you know that. A bass line is usually not THE melody. Inb4 the Fall and Joy Division or Death from Above or Lightning Bolt or Ruins or jazz bass heads or fills or whatever I said typically.

>>127093606
>as a lead you can also play the rhythm

I have to say honestly the skillsets are not totally alligned and some guitarists are good at lead but not as good at rhythm. In jazz especially it sticks out when a guy can rip solos but struggles to accompany other instrumentalists solos tastefully

>>127093624
that's just songwriting. Also improv is gay

Of course I'm talking about bands with three guitarists plus one bassist, the absolute cringefest

>>Hotelier, textbook example of this musical concept:

>>127093637
It's not just songwriting. I would bet Mick Jones probably couldn't play rhythm as effectively as Keith Richards, even if they were following the same tab on the same instrument.

>>127093729
>Mick Jones

Well especially Mick Jones because he's a hack and his guitar playing hurts my ears but I meant Mick Taylor and Ronnie Wood

>first song on the album is a 3+ minute long intro of atmospheric sounds

>>127093506 (OP)
you only need one guitarist

>Band has 24 bassists

>>127093823
But then there would be too much space if the guitarists takes a solo.
>They shouldn't.
Well, they're going to, and when they do, it's better to have one other guitarist to fill in the space.

>>127093867
But there's not too much space. Listen to Ron Asheton soloing on Funhouse and tell me there's too much space. The Dirt and TV Eye solos are all timers.

>song has 3 solos in it

>>127093867
John Coltrane and Archie Shepp did crazy solos on a sax which can only play one note a time, accompanied by only a drummer.

>>127093523
This one is shilled to death by french "rock press" must have some powerful friends or some nepo connection

this
>>127093867
A clear example is The Fall.

I love when guitarist talk about treble and bass with little understanding of piano or piano sheet music.

>>127093919
Well we're not talking about piano music, are we?

Shut up, Band of Susans were great.

rock rule: the more guitarists, the less likely any of them can play for shit

If you listen to band like built to spill it can be necessary especially when one or two of them sing. Seeing BtS these days without the full lineup is not the same
>rhythm
>lead
>creative ambient lead textural sometimes even being the synth of the band but as a guitar

>>127093590
>doesn't understand harmony or that songs can have multiple melodies at once

>>127093823
If you're a boring listener. How is the guitars lead melody supposed to be given character by the rhythms key playing beneath it. You realize you can play the exact same notes on lead and they'll have a completely different feel depending on the progression it's over

Drive by truckers had 3 when they were at their best (southern rock opera-brighter than creations dark)
Hell they might've actually had 4 if you count pedal steel

>guitarist plays five guitars

>>127099835
Fuck you!

>>127100101
I want one where it's a circle with multiple necks sticking out all the way around so that it looks kind of like a sun and the guitarist has to stand in the center.
