ukuleles are actually perfect for doom metal

A person who owns one guitar, plays every genre on it.
-
I only play blues on blue guitars.
-
amps & player = genre the guitar doesn’t matter
-
I’m a broke metal head playing on a Strat, this made me feel better 😂
-
I have mastered every genre with my air Guitar.
-
I learnt the entire Metallica discography on an acoustic.

Jimmy Page played a Tele on the first LZ album and Les Paul was a jazz guitarist.

Yes a different guitar can sound differently for other genres but I think it’s all about how the player uses the tones of the guitar and what style they use to bring out the tone more

Worst guitar for metal? "Strat" Iron Maiden has entered the chat

I'm definitely not a guitar nerd but it's something I realised years ago that it's more about how I pick or strum the guitar, the settings on the amp and what way I held my pick. I never even knew that humbuckers were better for metal until this video! Like the saying goes, it's not about your equipment, it's about about how you use it...

I honestly don't care I just want the guitar to look cool

Imagine you're in a Country show and the guitarist comes out with a Flying V Guitar lmao

“What is the last guitar anyone would recommend for country?” BC Rich Warlock

I have two guitars a cheap electric tanglewood, probably 15+ years old that a good friend kindly lent me to get started. And I now have a pretty darn expensive D'angelico Deluxe 175 Ltd edt... I still always play the old tanglewood more than the D'angelico for some reason 🤷

I had been pondering this exact same idea and thought it would be a great video to blind test multiple genre's on the same instrument and see who can tell what. I will soon find out for myself how possible this is! Just ordered an HB 35 Plus which from all appearances appears to be a capable and very flexible instrument. BTW, didn't buy it for Jazz but rather it's incredible flexibility. Another fun fact, this is only the second guitar I have ever bought and owned.

“What is the last guitar anyone would recommend for country?” Me: Abasi 8 string?

I think the whole “different guitars for different genres” thing was a lot more important back in the early days of electric guitar when the tone was basically dependent on the guitar and maybe an adjustment or two on the amp. Now with all these crazy pedals and midi inputs and computers, it’s way easier to get any sound you want out of any guitar you have.

I'd like to see the same done with amps.

Agree! I played for a band that covered jazz standards, classic rock and pop as well as indie songs. I have a 335, Strat and Tele. Depending on mood or which one has fresh strings was the one I took to a gig. All are great for any genre. Dial in tone and the fingers do the rest.
