  • Nugent’s go to is a mid 60’s Byrdland. Hardest power chords on the planet! Not to mention, scorching leads! No whammy needed!

  • Definitely disagree for that particular silver you used, that sounded very different from what you typically hear on any metal album.

  • one of the best Jazz tones that I have been digging is an SG with Flat wound strings. Check out Étienne Chagnon

  • Simple. Every guitar can be used, on every style. There are tons od amps and effects to Pick.. so you can transform Sounds to your taste. I bought les Paul standard cause i value more humbuckers then Tiny Singles. And volume and tone kontrols on it gets various Sounds.

  • I dare any country star to play a Warlock or Gibson explorer. Lol. I think it’s strictly the body style that is the genre.

  • The reason, metal guitar players play humbuckers is because it gets rid of the hiss that single coils have

  • Music is art and guitar is one of the many tools we have to create it, you don’t see people talking about the difference between paintbrushes so I don’t think it’s completely invalid to be particular about guitars but it’s almost the same thing and if you don’t know how to use your tools well then you’ll never be great to begin with

  • I think you’re right. But what I was told when I pulled the thick strings to play in drop E on my strat, that the guitars have different gaps between strings and between frets and strings. So you can play anything you want on any guitar for sure but sometimes it will give you some unnecessary noise. I think it’s okay but not for a professional high end sound.

  • Well even tho I agree with you, you can play any genre on any guitar, some pickups styles are better for some genres. In country those humbuckers sounded really weird and even tho you do not need tele to great country, you'd should prefere single coil pickups so tele or strat, even P90s, or if you have humbucker you should at least be able to split coils.
    Metal on the other hand even tho you can play it on strat or tele, you should probably switch to humbuckers i those guitars full size or silim sizes or again try P90s.
    On jazz again you'd probably should not try fll humbuckers to make best tone possible.
    And off course it depends on style of pickups, magnets used and how good those pickups are.

  • I think there was still quite a bit sound difference with the SG over a Tele. The SG didn't have that country twang still.

  • What guitar does absolutely no one use for jazz? That's right! A jazz master!

  • My fav guitarist and inspiration to play guitar in the first place plays a fender strat. So I told people “I wanna play a fender strat and I like rock and metal”. Everyone told me “but strats are better for other genres, you should pick a different guitar!”
    And the whole time I was so confused because he plays rock and metal on a fender Stratocaster, why can’t I?
    I’m glad I watched this video because now I know that what genres I want to play don’t interfere with what guitar I’ll buy.

  • I generally agree but some guitars do it better. I recently played an EVH Frankie striped with an oil neck. I freaking love playing that guitar and it sounds so great even just practicing scales. I was shocked at the tones of that guitar which were literally effortless to get. Forget about the fact that it can do VH songs better than any guitar I have ever heard.

  • I agree that no genre is limited to a specific guitar, except for metal to an extent. While single coil pickups are great for their use in more progressive styles of metal, like some of periphery’s songs, for every other style of metal you just need that honk of a humbucker. Single coils simply sound too twangy for the aggressive tones used in most styles, and not as full as a ye olde humbucker will ever be. Other than that feel free to use a jazz hollowbody to play metal, as long as it has humbuckers.
