Guitarmonies...?
Do you think guitar harmonies make a song?
Or do you hate them and think they sound like cheesy wank? I personally think they give a song an extra touch of class, if they are used tastefully... Iron Maiden are the masters of the guitarmony but I know they are a pretty marmite band, if you know what I'm saying. Oh, and that Brian May sound is awesome! |

Well, they can make a song if they're a key part of the chorus or somehting, but as an instrumental break they're just a bit of texture aren't they? make things sound a bit fuller and more musical.
On a different topic, how come everyone is aberdeen are such big iron maiden fans? Not a problem mind, but it does appear to be a bit of phenomenonenon here and I've always preferred sabbath myself... |

The instrumental stuff I've done has some harmony stuff in it, usually just to add a bit of color, sometimes to make up the whole tune. Suppose it depends on the tune your writing.. |
