my pedalboard is woefully underused at the moment when im playing with my band (i only use my drives, my delay and other stuff hardly get used)
but i definately work on my chops when im playing alone at home and im sure that i'll get to use em live someday
take out your morley! So heavy! Makes you complain that your pedalboard is heavy. Lol.
Eh syn kinda ran around during singfest. lol. Can't think of any other lead that run around right now... Too sleepy....

the only exception i can think of right now is aerosmith hehe.

Rhythm guitarist? I can think of no one less undermined than Dave Weiner when he plays rhythm for Steve Vai. Anyone who's seen recent G3 and Steve Vai gigs will understand. Tony MacAlpine however is a different story, the black man's a genius!

I love Rhythm Guitarists...
Sometimes you don't notice a good one.. but you always remember a bad one.. completely throws the groove and tempo off...
Anyway.. side track a bit.. I'm looking for a Rhythm guitarist for a cover band... we're not very young lah.. so if you don't mind playing with Uncles and Aunties then please drop me a message... heh heh... We're aged late 20s to early 40s...
Cheers!

Dude, your age group spans across many different musical genres....you can possibly play stuff from AC/DC to Ratt to Journey to Metallica and Megadeth...of course, the lighter side would see you play Cliff Richard, Beatles, The Pretenders, Elvis to erm...MC Hammer?

Heh... you are right.. we play a lot of older stuff... But what we'd like to play probably the slightly softer sides of GnR, SkidRow. Some Deep Purble, black sabbath. Some Roxette Skunk Anise. Even some Avril Lavigne, some U2....
Anything that will get a crowd going...
We have 1 male and 1 female singer..

Hmm.
my personal favourite rhythm player is Malcolm Young. However, I must say that I get my rhythm chops not from fiddling around on the electric... but rather hammering on my acoustic, trying to figure out different songs etc.
And I personally agree that if the rhythm is out, it totally throws the whole song out of whack... my band's recent originals have definitely stretched my rhythm playing abilities.
