Do you think that 3 guitarists in a band is too many? 2 will be playing the electric and the other will be playing semi acoustic...

Is this a good idea? And what type of songs can we play? Cos' we're forming a band and don't know whether it is appropriate... Thanks for the advises dudes!

Well bands like Radiohead,Pearl Jam have 3 guitarist...both have their lead singer playing guitar some times...their songs will be a good choice...Havin 3 guitarist also make u more creative in comin up with parts that compliment each other...So in the long run its good as it nutures ur creativity..... 8)

my band has 3 guitarist! haha..one lead, one rythm and one plays acoustic. you can get quite a varying sound..but may have problem when you go jamming..most of the studios are only equipped for 2 guitarist...yeah...
