Talk:Multiple guitar players

This article is complete crap, it serves no purpose and it is poorly written. I vote to delete. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.57.106.95 (talk) 16:43, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

This page was made by merging together a bunch of others. If it's ever deleted, the redirects doubly deserve to be deleted.

A section on twinned leads a la the Allman Brothers Band needs to be added.

This page should be retitled as "list of rock and metal guitar tandems".Nazamo 20:14, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

  • This article is interesting but sometimes confusing and contradictory, e.g.:

"Lead & Rhythm Guitar described (sic) the position of a musician who performed the lead guitar..." - that's just a lead guitarist then isn't it? As far as I'm aware Angus and Malcolm Young were overwhelmingly a lead/rhythm split respectively rather than trading roles. "These types of distinctions work most effectively in the context of a particular album" - why?

If "Rhythm & Lead Guitar is...usually in the context of two guitarists" all the examples are of single artists rather than duos and the majority of them were the only guitarist in their band. Mutt Lunker 00:20, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Malcom Young playing lead?! In 1970 or something...when AC/DC wasen't.... Kaiketsu 01:01, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I haven't looked at this article for a while. It really is awful - a rambling, unfocused, completely uncited opinion piece - although it's unclear what the opinion is. The only common thread in any of this nonsense is musical outfits with more than one guitar and it only seems to serve the purpose of allowing people to add their favourite group to the potentially enormous list of such bands.

[edit] Pointless lists?

These ever-growing lists of bands which happen to feature two guitarists serve no demonstrable purpose as the article stands. They are not used to support or clarify the (still uncited) assertions of the rest of the text, so as they stand are unimportant, irrelevant, and almost infinitely and pointlessly expandable. Will tag it thus {{importance-sect}} until someone can demonstrate otherwise. Mutt Lunker (talk) 20:37, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Weaving

I've found this reference: http://www.iorr.org/iorr35/keith2.htm It's not exactly the quote used in the article. What are the rules for using it? Doozy88 08:29, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Relocated this list of guitarists...perhaps it could be a separate list?

There are two guitarists in Metallica. James Hetfield is rhythm guitarist and Kirk Hammett is lead guitarist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.57.220.222 (talk) 19:21, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Guitar tandem"

Can the usage of this term be cited? Mutt Lunker (talk) 22:57, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
