My dad is a huge rock n' roll lead guitar fan.
Guitar players never listen to lead singers.
I play piano and guitar. Acoustic guitar. I tried studying classical guitar when I was 16 but it got really hard. I could never play a lead to save my life.
I noticed a lot of guitar players neglected the rhythm part of rhythm guitar and decided I would try to focus in that. As my skill and knowledge of the instrument grew, I found lead started to come naturally. Sometimes I play guitar like a frustrated...
Bruce's band is so different from the Grateful Dead; there's no lead guitar player, for one thing.
My dad is a huge rock and roll lead guitar fan. I didn't even really know that until recently. Everything has to have a guitar solo in it.
I started playing guitar back in '56. I was a teenager, and guitars had just come in, and I had a thing for it and got one. Started learning lead breaks from songs, because that was the easiest thing to do at the time. I had the guitar for two years ...
Streets paved with opal sadness, Lead me counterclockwise, to pockets of joy, And jazz.
The lead guitar work is a bit repetitious, but when a song is under two minutes long, I don't have much room anyway. Thank goodness. But I've always contributed guitar parts to every band I've ever been in, so I'll always play the axe.
I think it gets boring (for the audience) for the lead singer to have a guitar hanging on them all the time.
The problem is that once I start on a song and get a rough idea of where I might go with an arrangement, I try dozens, sometimes hundreds, of different things on a song. The bass, the backing guitars, the lead guitars, the keyboards. It's a long proc...
I get to play a scorching lead guitar, and there's not much that's more fun than that.
I played guitar and bass. I didn't do much vocals, although I did have one band where I was the lead singer. But that was when I was in college.
I love to play guitar. I've been writing my own songs on the axe since I was nine years old. I suck at leads.
I always knew he was selfish and self-indulgent and kind of lazy; those are practically prerequisites for playing lead guitar.
I'm not going to play lead guitar in a concert hall full of people, because I'm going to mess up a lot.
I wouldn't mind being the lead guitarist in an incredibly successful rock band. However, I don't play the guitar.
To get my sound in the studio, I double guitar tracks, and when it gets to the lead parts, the rhythm drops out, just like it's live. I'm very conscious of that.
I've always known from the time I was eight years old what I wanted to do. I would have been fairly content to be someone's lead guitar player.
Dorsey played the upright bass and steel guitar, as well as acoustic guitar. Johnny played acoustic guitar and together they were fabulous songwriters and singers.
I actually had a really nice guitar as a teenager. I took jazz guitar, so my mom bought me this probably $1,600 guitar. But I got really into garage rock and local bands, and I noticed they played really crappy guitars. So I thought, 'Hey, I should g...
