best acoustic guitar pickup 2012 image
Doodle
I'm not looking to play one, I'm just curious. What's a bass guitar and what's an electric guitar? How do I identify them? What is a lead guitar and a rhythm guitar? How can I identify them in a song? Any links would be great. And if you can explain to me what each guitar does in metal music, that would be great also. Thank you so much. x
Answer
A bass guitar is a guitar meant to play a very low pitch of notes. A bass has a longer neck (the long part with the strings). It usually has 4 or 5 strings. The strings are also a lot thicker than those on a guitar. Bass is also playable with the fingers. There are also acoustic bass guitars but they are not common.

An electric guitar is a guitar that uses magnets to pick up the vibrations of the strings and make that into a signal which then goes to the amplifier which makes the sound. The magnets are called pick-ups and you can see them under the strings where the guitarist strums. There are many different types of pick-ups. An electric guitar usually has 6 strings.

Also worth mentioning are classical, acoustic, and semi-hollow guitars.
A classical guitar is an acoustic guitar but uses nylon strings. You play them with your fingers.

An acoustic guitar (or steel-string guitar) is like a classical guitar but uses only steel strings. You play it with either finger or a pick. They sometimes also have pickups in them but can be played without.

A semi-hollow guitar looks like a fat electric guitar. It has pickups but the guitar body has an empty chamber in it.

Lead and rhythm guitar refers to playing style. Any guitar can be used for lead or rhythm playing.
The lead is usually responsible for playing melodies and solos. The rhythm usually plays the riffs and creates the rhythm of the song for the melodies to play over. Some guitarist prefer certain pickups for playing lead and rhythm respectively.
Here is an example:

Listen at 3:40. The lead guitar plays the solo but the rhythm guitar is still playing. Listen closely to the rhythm.

Note that at the beginning two guitars are playing. The lead is playing the melody and in the background you have the rhythm. Also note that at about 30 seconds the lead stops playing the melody and starts playing the same thing as the rhythm. That is quite common.

Versatile Electric guitar ( Mockingbird?)?
Theo
Hey, I'm looking to buy an electic guitar thats under or close to a thousand bucks. i want a BC RICH Mockingbird ST or one of the new 2012 ones. Ireally need a versatile guitar but also suitable for metal, and a Mockingbird ST has coil tañs, fase switchers and a bunch of sweet additions. PROBLEM IS, it has a floyd rose, i already have an NJ warlock, (which i love to death) but since i play a lot of metal i use drop tunings and anyone who owns a floyd rose that its just not possible to switch tunings. Bottom line, a good guitar with coil taps, fase switches? Anyone? And ive already considered LPs and strats so those arent relly my type. a mockigbird would be prefarable, they are beautiful guitars.
I have an acoustic fender dreadnought, a copy strat and my love, the bc rich warlock nj deluxe. i reccomend it to anyone who wants a metal guitar.

Hello there,
One option would be to set your Warlock to one drop tuning. Block the tremolo on the Strat and use it for the other drop tunings. Then you can use the new Mockingbird for everything else. If you use the Strat for metal, you may want to switch out the bridge pickup for a humbucker. DiMarizo would be good. If you don't want to change the pickguard, grab a rail, it is a single coil sized humbucker.
Other guitars you could consider instead fo the Mockingbird? Take a look at some of the Jackson models. Also some of the Ibanez RGs. Both have some with fixed bridges. You may find one you like. I think your best bet is in the Jackson line.
I really think my first option fits you best. You seem to really want the Mockingbird. So get it and figure out how to set up the others so you don't have to play any drop tunings on the Mockingbird.
