what kind of guitar u like poll part 2 because i am stupid

sorry sorry i am dumb as hell

I'm not voting this time, you won't disenfranchise me again

lol I can't really tell between "fuzz" and "distortion", so I'm still voting dist.

"whatever you call the guitar sound on 70s soul songs"

voted for slide guitar electric for this one, word to lowell george

Hmm will distorted guitar triumph over fuzz guitar?

distorted overall i guess. but obv i do like drone and some others but going with that.
im not a muso so i think distorted is my catch all term.

that would be distorted electric I guess. also my favourite I guess, nothing IMO beats a nice, harmonically rich distorted sound

Somewhere between clean and overdriven. Overdriven, I guess.

Hard to eff with acoustic classical, though

tho 90s/1st half of 00s self would say fuzz. so now i dunno

the kyuss fan in may made me vote fuzz even tho i got sick of stoner rock fuzz after about 10 years listening to the genre. mainly due to all the mediocre 10th rate kyuss knock offs. When its done right it still clicks.

i know others will vote distorted anyway

*me

There are examples of all these I really wouldn't want to live without hearing again, so, uh, I don't know.

cant believe the pollstarter besmirched "overdriven electric" with the dreaded modern blues label

fuzz

the way i see it:

fuzz = tube amp (hendrix, zepp)
distorted = solid state amp (gang of 4, pantera)

i like both

uh

what about midi guitar or electro-acoustic ones?

Pedal steel

Red Rhodes y'all

broken-sounding

I like a clean electric guitar with a mild amount of chorus and put through a leslie speaker. Which option do I choose? :)

That's just "effected electric"

i'm not convinced by the slide guitar option. with that criteria in mind, you'll have to include fingerpicked guitar, tapped guitar, e-bowed guitar, whammy bar abused guitar et al. playing techniques do not compute.

muso!

Wither 'treated guitar'?

What if I'm an idiot who likes to attach a MIDI pickup and make the guitar sound like a trumpet?

I voted "noize" but I really meant "Keith Rowe"

"slide guitar electric" reminded me of this fine instrument:

Where is option for "slight amp overdrive w/chorus like on Big Star's 'Back Of A Car'"?

Acoustic classical. Generally I can't stand the sound electric guitars (too much distortion and noise), except for wah-wah and a few other effects, but acoustic wins based on its versatility.

I'm a big fan of cranked tube amp with the volume rolled back on the guitar.

Tuomas, you know that electric guitars can be played clean, right?

Voted Noize, though fuzz, distorted were pretty close.

Angular. I like angular guitars. What would they be, then?

where is 'fake guitar'

STICKY FRIED RASPY NOT AN OPSTION????

i would argue that slide is a fundamental change in the instrument, far more than picking techniques

tbh so is an e-bow

i suppose i could have included bowed guitar and covered all the bases, but my guess is that is not really a contender

ok so what is the lead electric in the verses of Where Is My Mind. Clean? Effected?

every song would be improved with bowed guitar

but honestly, the most striking omission here is obviously AIR GUITAR

rlly like the way the guitars sound on botch's an anthology of dead ends, that's good that

every song would be improved with bowed guitar

This is a crazy poll. I love the sound of a Tele pretty much straight into the amp (tho almost all "clean" sounding electric has at least some sort of effecting going on.) I also LOOOOOVE reverb (but I'm not nearly as big on chorus and delay) and I love the distorted sound of Elmore James. But Elmore's a slide player.

Feel like I'm being forced to choose between Don Rich on Buck Owens' records and Hank Marvin and Hound Dog Taylor. Can't do it.

Me, I like all of those to various extents, but really like Univibes and flangers and other sorts of '70s-swirliness, which I collectively choose to characterize as DISTORTED ELECTRIC.

(Actually kinda reminds me of that crappy-but-fun Zoom 505 pedal I bought, which featured "Metal" and "Distortion" and "Fuzz" and "Overdrive" settings (but no "Grunge", surprisingly), all of which were just variations on your basic cement-block sound.)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Had to go for drone in the end, god bless drone

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
