Guitar players who sound like there are multiples of them when playing live

[RicOkc]

Brian May

Don't know if it counts but the first time I heard this, before I saw the video, I thought there were two guitar parts.

Then there's The Edge, but I read somewhere that U2 perform with another guitar player hidden backstage.

They USED to have a keyboard player back stage playing some parts. But that's all tracks now.

On a rare song, if there is a 2nd guitar sound, it would be on a track. e.g., Bullet the Blue Sky

What section of “Bullet” uses a guitar track when playing live? The solo?

The chorus.

Umm Bono plays guitar occasionally or did before his bicycle accident.

No guitar - they used to have a Keyboard player - but I think they've gone to digital recordings now.

I can only think of Nick McCabe. I thought of Robert Fripp but the King Crimson live videos I've seen always feature other guitar players.

Then there's The Edge, but I read somewhere that U2 perform with another guitar player hidden backstage.

McCabe is like a one-man guitar orchestra

They have a second guitarist.

Shout out to the mystical Stanley Jordan….

Wow, I'd forgotten just how good he is! Better with one hand than most are with two!

 

[rhinocaster]

Danny Gatton.....I read an interview with someone that used to play guitar with him in a band and the interviewer suggested that it would be a tough gig. The guy said "no, it's actually an easy gig. If I couldn't get the part Danny would just say, 'Okay, I'll play that part too' and give me something easier."

 

[Kristal_McKinstry]

Me.

This one sounds like I'm also playing bass. Drums were added afterwards by iPad music memos.



or this.



Maybe i can dig up some of my earlier Stanley Jordan style stuff.

This does yet doesn't:

Alas, I seem to have lost my earliest craziest stuff which really did.
And then there's the stuff where I'm playing slide-guitar, slide-sax, theremin, and keyboard drums with my toes all at the same time, but i figure that doesn't count.

Paulinho Nogueira first plays the the first vocal melody. Then the second vocal melody. If you know the song, you know what comes next:



Kiko Loureiro also has some skills reganding the topic of this thread:

 

[X Ray]

Kevin Shields (yes, I know that Bilinda Butcher also plays guitar, but live it seems like there are four of them)

 

[AndreasG]

Sonny Landreth
Leo Kottker

 

[Blackmoreguitar]

And just for fun, there is sometimes more than one guitar player
