Pek Vek He's rhythm guitar with the occasional lead just like Izzy and Gilby. No such thing as 'main' There are lead parts, fill, rhythm, additional etc. No one is main. One guitar on a song is one colour in a painting. Part of the whole picture. He's playing Izzy's parts on all the AFD, Lies and Illusion stuff as did Gilby.

@@jjbast Melisa is great, guns n roses uses a lot more background effects/backing tracks than most would probably realize, she also helps Axl a lot with his higher backing vocals which definitely fills it out nicely live. And nothing against Dizzy, hes a great pianist. Frank is unfortunately nothing to write home about, seems like a cool guy though.

What I'm really interested in is how he's changed his rig over his years with GN'R - he's played with some guitarists who have very different tones (Finck, Ashba, Buckethead, Slash, Bumblefoot) - so how has he changed his tone to work alongside theirs?

Rich ist ein cooler Typ und seine Klampfen echt der Hammer. Sehr interessant ist für mich hier auch das Thema Pickups mit den Alnico 8 Magneten und wenig Windungen. Sozusagen irgendwo das perfect match aus beiden Welten, aber das gefällt mir an ihm auch er hat da seine ganz eigene Richtung und die Sache passt. Und bei GNR ist er für mich ein essenzieller Bestandteil und Axl mag ja auch sehr speziell sein, aber er hat ein Verständnis für gute Musiker.

What's the difference between Gretsch and other conventional guitars like Gibson or Fender? What aspect of their tone sets them apart? I've always been curious about this brand but I think it might be better to play it safe and get a strat which is what I'm used to playing.
