Guitar Sounds I Hate

[Bret L]

Hate, hate, hate. We all have to hate something.

Me, I hate bad guitar sound.

These are some sounds I hate:

Queefy jazz comping tone. Barney Kessel was a frequent offender here
and Herb Ellis let out a few fussyparting chords too. Their tone had
no bite. I attribute it to using only the neck pickup and crappy solid
state amps.

Fake Leslies. You want Leslie, use a Leslie, or fuck off.

Willie Nelson, most of the time. It's time to have Trigger set into a
block of Lucite and put into a museum. It sounds like cardboard. In
fact it sounds like someone used a tampon applicator for a bridge
saddle on it. Oh wait, they did.

Doctors and lawyers trying to be Robben Ford or Larry Carlton.

All those post-Green Day kid bands. They all suck.

Slash, on his last record.
