One great example is JETHRO TULL.
- IAN ANDERSON PLAYING FLUTE.
- FOCUS a DUTCH BAND with Jan Akkerman and Thys Van LEER. Thys also played flute.

I am looking for bands using unusual instruments, like FIDDLE, BANJO, BAGPIPES (About bagpipes there is one song using this instrument and having a huge hit: WINGS with MULL of KINTYRE).

The Beatles introducing the SITAR.
DO YOU KNOW BANDS OR SONGS USING UNUSUAL INSTRUMENTS?.

MULL OF KINTYRE on request of Upyerkilt      

I believe you can have 3 different categories here.
1) Rhythm guitar
2) Lead guitar
3) Solo guitar.
Is this correct or not, and which style you think you play?
If you go back to the early 50ties you still had "big bands" but now with the guitarplayer more in the picture.
My opinion is:
RHYTHM GUITAR is just strumming, ADDING AN EXTRA VALUE TO THE BAND. The most important members in a band are "the rhytmsection" = bass, drum, rhythm guitar.
Take Creedence Clearwater Revival and listen to the songs, you will hear, in this case more on the background, a guitar player who is just strumming without extras.
THE MOST IMPORTANT ERA FOR RHYTHM GUITARISTS IS THE DISCO ERA.
LEAD GUITAR is strumming with a few extras, like riffs and licks. Best example is Keith Richards, he is a gifted and high ranked guitar player, but do you know songs with real big solos?
I "THINK" I belong in that category, from the very first chords you play, the audience recognises the song. STRUM + LICKS + RIFFS and MINI SOLOS.
SOLO GUITAR is like you see and hear in bands or artists like SATRIANI, VAI. Other great solo guitarists are JIMI HENDRIX, STEVIE RAY VAUGHN, JIMMY PAGE, ALVIN LEE (with that incredible song on WOODSTOCK: I'm Going Home) and a lot more others.
THE REAL CHAMPIONS ARE people like Hendrix playing everything rhythm, lead, solo BUT DRIVEN by a fabulous RHYTHM DUO = BASS+DRUMS.

IS THIS THEORY CORRECT? I can't find an answer. IS THIS ANSWER CLOSE ENOUGH?

Again looking for DUESENBERG GUITARS I found this:
A guy who MENTION LOUD AND CLEAR I FOUND THIS STUFF ON A REALLY GREAT WEBSITE CHORDIE.COM + free explication about tabs and using semi-tones. HERE THE LINK
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhInrWIo … re=related

This NEEDED TO BE PLACED AS TOPIC. LONG LIVE CHORDIE

I asked if someone is familiar with DUESENBERG GUITARS.
I surfed for hours to return finally to that tiny little music store in OSTEND at our coast in Belgium.

IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO YOUTUBE AND WRITE DUESENBERG GUITARS YOU WILL HEAR AND SEE:
- How EXTREMELY GOOD THEY SOUND
- NEVER A NEGATIVE OPINION
Here a link http://www.duesenberg.de/duesenberg/en_index.php

This almost never happened, since I saw a 49er 7 weeks ago, I am so obsessed that I will buy that guitar. I want to sell a Variax 700 line 6, the DUESENBERG = 1100€ = 1694$.
The price on almost every site is between 1800-2200$ The sound is amazing and they will become a lot more expensive. Ron Wood plays one, Keith Richards ordered one. Lenny Kravitz, Pearl Jam, Slash, Keith Urban they all start using these guitars, I believe this tells more than enough about this brand. The MSRP is 2950$ and the prices will go higher and higher.
These guitars are still handmade, and I think the brand started to be imported maybe 5 years ago in the USA.
GO TO THEIR WEBSITE AND LISTEN TO THESE GUITARS, or on YOUTUBE.
This is subjective, but they sound better than most Gibsons.

CHERISH them well your RHYTHMSECTION, BASS + DRUMS follow them instead of them following you.
- JACO PASTORIUS.
- JOHN ENTWISTLE ( The WHO)
- GREG LAKE (take a pick: Emerson Lake & Palmer, King Crimson, Asia = a so called super group).
- JACK BRUCE (Cream + many other bands)
- JOHN PAUL JONES Led Zeppelin

1) DRIVE by THE CARS
2) BABY YOU CAN DRIVE MY CAR by THE BEATLES
3) PINK CADILLAC by BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
4) LITLLE RED CORVETTE by PRINCE
5) MUSTANG SALLY by WILSON PICKET

Is this an open tuning in D?

Since I am back in town I love to find and make a "kind of list" with songs with BACK in the title.
A few songs:
- BACK IN THE USSR by The Beatles
- BABY COME BACK by The Equals
- BACK IN BLACK by AC/DC
- BACK FOR GOOD by Take That
- WELCOME BACK by John Sebastian

Ooh youre a holiday , such a holiday = Ooh I have a holiday, a real holiday

Its something I thinks worthwhile
I'm not going to the Nile
But I will leave with a big big smile
In my big wheelchair throwing stones
Throwing stones 1000 miles with broken bones

I AM ON A HOLIDAY FROM 27 May - 05 June.
I really hope to come back with new energy, the last months were TOO much. Documents, new documents, a demand for a wheelchair, because I can't barely walk. I'm not joking, I love joking and chordie.
Be sure I will think and thank all of you for GIVING ME SO MUCH IN RETURN YOU ARE ALL MY FRIENDS, please think of me, I need it. I want to return with a fresh head, it's hard to accept my condition in particular with that wheelchair, telling you enough about how I feel. BUT I AM SOMEONE WHO NEVER GIVES UP.
SO I WILL MISS YOU ALL FELLOW CHORDIANS, it pisses me of that I don't have a PC there, but is THAT REALLY NECESSARY?
SORRY for writing this, but I want you all to know how much you mean to me, more than you can imagine.
THANKS, I'm still here until monday.

Starting from 1990-2008 and still famous and real great bands

4) RADIOHEAD
5) OASIS
6) GOO GOO DOLLS
7) NICKELBACK
