Using a Telecaster for Doom/Stoner rock = fail!

[Jbird]

Everyone knows that one should use an SG for that genre



:rawk:

Eh. Put a 4 way switch on a Tele and you can get some great humbucking tones. If you are going for image, then you need an SG, a pointy Schecter, or a BC Rich.

 

[frunobulax]

The more pointy bits, the better.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Lyrics like those are why I don't write lyrics. Terrible.

If the guitarist had been using an SG, the lyrics would've been better

The bassist is playing an SG. You can't have both playing SGs, you'll tear a hole in the spacetime continuum.

I fail to see the problem here...

When your riffs are that bland it doesn't really matter what guitar you play,

 

[pmc100]

Well I liked it

 

[Lerxst]

yeah, the tele isn't really the problem there

 

[DFB]

A John 5 Tele might get you there.

typical simplistic metal vocal melody follows the progression. But Teles are superior guitars, well suited to everything because of that presence and edge they have. I always loved Bill Frissell's Tele playing on Nashville. Playing jazz on a Tele is a much bolder move. The very best Zep songs were played on a Tele. EB basses on the other hand sound like shit and song would have been improved with a P bass.

Sounds a lot like Psychedlic Witchcraft.

everything would be improved if played on a P

You even manage to find a decent doom/stoner band that is totally ruined by an oversinging female vocalist

 

[ColourofFire]

I used to play that sort of stuff on my Tele, frikking loved it. Twangy bridge pickup + big muff + matamp = amazing.

Also, for this sort of music having a badass bass player is the key anyway.

Beat me to it.

It's uncanny really.

 

[reverend1]

My favorite metal song at the moment.


actually very good and entertaining.

Also Teleish guitar.

 

[sleewell]

teles are good for everything.

rules about which guitars you can or cant play for certain genres are dumb. i hate bands who try too hard to fit in. just make good music.
