How do I tell my band's guitard without pissing him off that he doesn't need to be put through the PA subwoofers? "It won't sound good" didn't work. :rollno:
actually, not even cut his lows, since they were boosted almost all the way. just take them from 8 to maybe 5 or so.
i really wish i could eq a guitar really good. then i could just blow his mind with his awesome guitar sound, and i'd have my sonic space all to myself.

all my guitarist knows is he needs to turn up the knobs that say "Low", "Mid", and "Volume" as much as possible, and it sounds "good".

practicing at a reasonable volume is for pansies anyway. to quote my drummer, "It's supposed to be loud!"

:eyebrow::rollno::scowl:
 
I've had the hardest time communicating with lead guitarists, although I think I have been really lucky with the different drummers I've paired up with being friendly to similar music as myself.

Being a blues nut with a drummer who is a blues nut in a rock band is fun. Even if the others guys don't like it, tough =p
 
Tell you what, I`ve had the worst luck with singers who`d refuse to learn lyrics or sing without having to have a guitar up on stage with them, but in all honesty I know I`m probably the biggest pain most people have every dealt with when it comes to performing and being professional with music.
