My freinds adn I were talking today about the idea of putting together a band made up completly of guitars. Most likely like 10 or so.

We would have both electric and acoustic. There would be some people playing the chords strumming..some  doing the main lines..some hamonies and then a lot of solos.

 

what do you think?

I think done corectly it could be really cool

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

 Sometimes editions of posts force us to edit our's also.

But the important thing is that you will enjoy the album.

most likely a band with 10 guitars is going to sound like crap. face it, guitar players pretty much end up doing the same things because of the nature of the instrument. good luck though.
I begin to wonder if the points of all the ancient myths are solemnly di-rected straight.. at.. meeeeeeeeee!
