ok thanx. yeah...i think a regular guitar is what i want..not a bass. the songs i mentioned with the guitars dont sound like a bass at all...but when i think of a regular guitar i think of out of control with those really high notes. i dont think any song would sound good with a bass...i dont like it at all. but it could just be because there isnt much going on in the song...and mostly all you hear is the bass. do you have a song i could download so i could hear what a regular guitar sounds like to see if thats what im wanting? i can see y playing a bass by yourself wouldnt be much fun...ew :p
And keep in mind that almost every song you've heard has bass in it... it just isn't the lead instrument, so it doesn't necessarially stand out. That's why I mentioned Flea, because his bass playing CAN stand out front in a lead role.
Pretty much anything by Collective Soul has lots of guitar in it.
Some random songs off the top of my head for acoustic guitar: Blind Faith "Can't Find My Way Home"; Yes "Mood For a Day"; and anything off any "unplugged" cd.
Excellent examples of electric guitar: pretty much anything by Joe Satriani; Cream "Sunshine of Your Love"; anything by Jimi Hendrix (Jimi did play acoustic as well, but his electric work is what stands out). [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
