ooooh Geek USA, I forgot that one. I strum that verse pattern all the time.
New Topic: Which guitars do you wanna see on the new SP Album?
The Lace equipped strats of SD/MCIS, the Hamer fender knock offs from Adore era, Gibson SG's/ES-335/LP Jr's from Machina, Traditional Strats/Jaguars from MSOTS, C-tuned Reverends from TFE?
I bet he uses them Reverends and Gibsons for the majority. If he uses any Fenders it will be in the studio only.

Gibson SG's/ES-335/LP Jr's...... I don't think he used the strat a whole bunch on mellon collie.... And you can thank Ric Ocasek for corgans' switch to SG's.

I liked it when billy played Sg's on Cherub Rock, with the p90's
that sounded awesome, although the 335 was pretty good too
didn't dig the strat as much

SG with Cherub Rock eeewwww I would rather do 'ass to mouth' than sit through that. The SG's don't have that nice out-of-phase sound that Cherub Rock needs for the clean parts.

in the days back learning guitar I thought this one was hard to do
just because he used the strats live for the mellon collie tour doesn't mean he used them in the studio.

he used a strat for bullet, there's that quote somewhere
something about the heavier wood blah blah

i bet there were atleast 3 different guitars used for each song on that album. Considering each song had an average of 10 tracks of guitar, 3 guitars is a safe low assumption.

Duuuude. 666 Video. Do your research.

doooood.... 666 is just scratch tracks. You're supposed to play something you're comfortable with.

Billy's SG's didn't appear until the Arising! Tour...at least in a live setting.

No, no, no...I was arguing that he did use the strat, as it can be seen in the video...contrary to what you were saying.
Wow. What are the chances of finding someone else from Houma of all places on here? That is so completely random. Yeah, my friend introduced me to Meriwether last summer. She sat me through the whole album, lol.

Well, i'm from b.r.... so hello.
Also, i didn't say he "never used his strat" but you have to have a variety on recordings or it starts sounding "bleh." You usually would NEVER use just one guitar throughout a whole major label recording.

does billy listen to dinosaur jr?
i wish him and j. would do a song together....
anyways, i find myself repetively playing ava adore (acoustic viper room version), hummer, bury me, the boy (that Esus2 chord rocks), i of the mourning, 1979, xyu, quiet, for martha, come with me, and my mistake a lot.

Me too. It usually strikes me as the first thing to play when I put new strings on.
But my all time most-played song is Stumbleine.

There's actually a phaser on the SD version. Listen very carefully.
There's phaser on almost every clean guitar on that album, and most of the vocals have some sort of effect, often phaser.

the whole albums is put through a phaser.... mutron biphase! listen to the drum intro on cherub... they are phased too.

The clean part is ran through a filter of some sort...I doubt it is a phaser, but yes it is ran through a filter modulator, but either way that intro sound better in the 2 position on a clean strat versus any position on an SG.
As for the whole strat with MCIS...he says in a GW interview after its realese that him and James used mainly Strats and Gibsons for the recording. Thats the best I could come up with. I hope he does use the strat again, very few people use it as a power instrument, instead they turn to EMG equiped ESP's and Ibanez's and shit.
