So like, who here plays guitar. And do you guys know where I can find a list of the gear they used. I'd like to know all the delay pedals that Omar and them use.

I've played guitar for just about 5 years and counting... have my trusty Midnight Wine Fender Strat... don't know exactly the gear that ATD-I used, but you can't go wrong with an Electro Harmonix Small Stone phaser and Big Muff distortion.

I don't know how to play the guitar but I play it sometimes anyway.
Who do you guys think is the best LIVING guitarist?
I reckon John Butler. I don't even particularly like his music (in fact, I used to hate it because of the way he sings), but MAN, he is a great guitarist.
You know that look Hendrix got when he played guitar? That expression that showed he had lost consciousness for everything apart from his g-tar? That's the look John Butler has when he plays...
Download John Butler Trio's "Take" [live]. It will blow you away. Keep in mind it's a trio - there's just one guitar, one bassist and one drummer. But they have a fuller sound than many 5 pieces. Even if you don't like the song, his skill makes having it worthwhile, even if you only listen to it once or twice.
I used to think it was kind of egotistical to name a band after just one of the members because it discounts the efforts of the other musicians. What about the drummer and the bassist? But then I saw how good this guy is... (the other guys are good too, but John is godlike).

i dont see the reason to try and achieve the same sound as another guitarist. I spent most of this summer trying to get the same sound as Jade from AFI. When i finaly did get it, i realized it was no fun. So i came up with my own and im much happier.

I try hard to get a decent guitar sound out of my setup, but I'm running a Fender Strat thru a Rogue 30 watt amp with reverb, so I usually end up having to crank almost everything to 10 to get a decent distortion... I"m going to have to get a decent amp soon

man, you know your gear. i just have a westone(cheap but reliable) bass with a 50 watt CRATE amp. i also dabble on my cousin's drums. could keep a helluva beat but can't improvise like some folks.

i play guitar too, i have a barrington foxxe guitar and a Peavey Audition 20 amp and TurboRAT distortion pedal.
i learned it all by myself so i'm not too good. i just like playing whatever song i hear or just pure improvisation(which is not always earbuttery).

Ooohh... Baritone Guitars are awesome, I've been toying with the idea of buying one, though it took me long enough to save enough cash to buy Sparta's album, heh. Crate amps work good, they have the right kind of crunch... Rogue, the company that made my amp, is the generic brand in Musician's Friend catalogs... They work, and they're great if you're on a tight budget, but their overdrive leaves a lot to be desired... I need to get a bass, I was a trombone player for 10 1/2 years, the trombone parts are basically bass guitar in horn form... I think I could be an excellent bass player, those are the beats that go through my head all the time... I really admire how the members of ATD-I knew how to play at least one other instrument than the one they played, that can really help form out the sound of a band.

john and paul from the beatles could play anything you set in front of them, john was pretty good at srums, paul is awsome at piano and they both play(ed) violin really well. and cello, and trumpet....
i think thats part of being a good musician, is learning to play a lotta shit.
i have a tama 5-piece w/ sabian 22'' ride and 14'' zildjian hi-hats, sabian 18'' AA explosion. i jacked up my bass drum and it sounds reaaally good, if i do say so myself. i've messed around a lot with my kit, making it good to my ear. so of course i think it sounds awsome. its a nice kit, i'm gonna play on it a long time.

CRAZY CORTEX BOY,
when you purchased your drum equip. you didn't mess around. you got the goooood shiznit. i've always thought tama and zildjian cymbals sounded great together. some of my favorite drummers perform with that combo.

Nice set, Cortex... If I was going to buy a set (although I really don't know how to play that good with sets yet), I've been thinking about those Orange County drums with the big hole in the side to make it louder. I quote Jimmy Chaimberlin (Smashing Pumpkins drummer): "I want my drums to sound like a small bore drill going through your skull". I can already play Guitar, Bass, some Keyboards, and Trombone, so I can probably do some Radiohead meets Frank Zappa stuff...

stop talking about it and do it!
yeah, vented snares...them things are loud. a lot of people dont even mic them at smaller concerts. but i go for the looser tuning, cause to make those sound good, usually you gots to crank them up really tite, like a marching snare. dw has fucking awsome sounding snares.
my fave drum companies are peal and tama. dw is really nice too. pearl and tama are kind of similiar, thats why i like both of them.

I think before I get a set, I wanna get a half stack for my guitar... my cousin had a setup with a 7-string Ibanez and a Marshall Halfstack in San Diego, I played that, and from then on, I've been wanting a halfstack. That's when I'll feel like a real guitarist, heh.

I play guitar...Marshall half stacks are definitely the way to go. I recently bought a Marshall JCM 900 Hi Gain Dual Reverb 50watt head....but I still don't have a quad box, so I'm currently grappling with the most spectacularly silent Marshall amp of all time. It's really frustrating. I've spent the last 6 years hacking away at a 1976 Gibson SG Custom, three pickup, 22 fret, it's a fucking gorgeous sounding guitar. I also have an Epiphone Les Paul that I got about three or four years ago that I tore the guts out of and replaced it with a Dimarzio PAF Pro pickup in the neck position and a Seymour Duncan Jeff Beck pickup in the bridge. I also plastered it with stickers. Pedals wise I'm lining through a Sovtek Big Muff Pi (as preferred over the NYC Electro-Harmonix Big Muff by myself and Sonic Youth), a ProCo Turbo RAT, a Boss Super Phaser, an Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer, Jim Dunlop Cry Baby wah, a Boss multi-effects thing from the 80s that has chorus/delay/distortion/compression...I pretty much only use it for the delay and sometimes the chorus, Boss purple Flanger...there's plenty more effects I wanna get though.
As far as the question about who the best living guitarist in the world is...in my mind no one can compare to Billy Corgan at the moment. His sense of style and melody, the way he'll work notes into a solo that aren't even in the scale...even just his speed, it's all fucking phenominal.
I'm fairly sketchy as to what exactly ATDI use guitar wise, but from what I can tell from footage and pictures Jim mostly uses Gibson SGs and the rest of his equipment I'm not so sure about. Omar on the other hand often wields a Squier Supersonic or a Fender Mustang, which he lines into a bunch of really old looking effects and into an Orange head (probably a 50watt) which he has plugged into a Marshall quad box. As far as his effects pedals are concerned the only effect I know for certain that he uses is a Digitech Whammy pedal. The other stuff is hard to tell sometimes.

Yes, Billy is an awesome guitarist. I'm a SP fan, most of how I apply myself on guitar I learned from reading articles by Billy Corgan or Omar Rodriguez, with a little Angus Young for good measure, plus some techniques my girlfriend picked up (she's an awesome guitarist). If I could play the solo to Geek USA, I'd be beyond happy. heh... don't get me started talking Pumpkins... I'll never shut up, heh

well my uncle gave me his old bass from a long time ago....dont know what kind, probably wal-mart. it sounds ok though, and its loud just cause the strings are so close to the pickups. my friend, who's a real bass player, hooked it up to his stack and messed around with it and he's gonna help me fix it up. i'll never get too serious though, drums have been my passion sicne i was like 4, even though i've only been playing seriously for like two year.
on the bass i just play some cool atdi shit (quarantined) and some easy beatles stuff....just fooling around, ya know? its fun.

Ahhh... the Wal-Mart brand guitar... I got my first ever guitar from Wal-Mart, $50 Synonics acoustic guitar, I put it on layaway, and got it the day after I broke up with my first serious girlfriend... memories... of the guitar, not the biatch... That's a long time on percussion, Cortex, that's awesome... I wish I had started fiddling with the guitar when I was 4. My girlfriends' on my guitar now... she has her own style, kinda like how Tori Amos approaches piano, it sounds a lot like how Omar approaches it, actually, lots of open strings and notes that don't fit. If even one of us on this board makes it somewhat to radio, the world'll be better for it

where can you find the list. jehuchariots?
I really don't know. There used to be a FAQ on there website I hear, but there website is down. Guitargeek.com should be up by the first of Sept. I'm gonna ask them to look for it.
I guess I should list my gear. MOST of the time, I use a Fender Jazzmaster. Effects wise: ProCo Rat (out to be modded right now for vintage, turbo, and boost settings), a Ibanez Digital Modulation Delay (coming in the mail), Voodoo Lab Bosstone, EH NY Big Muff (I like the sound of the Russian ones better, too), DOD Juice Box, DOD FX100 I'm trying to sell, and a Boss DF-2 Super Distortion & Feedbacker which I wouldn't mind letting go either.
