Blue Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Look what I found on a guitar forum: http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=13087 Pity poor Martin Waugh, guitarist for Mika. On the live 'Love Today' he starts out on acoustic for the strongly strumming intro, then it's off and over his head and a roadie drops a Fender strat type onto him in time for some harmonic riffs, then as we enter the bridge it's time for guitar number 3, a big black Gibson type that lays down some fast funk barres. All in the course of one song and nobody appreciates the professionalism since all eyes are on Mika. Anyone know of other guitarists changing instrument like this over the course of one song. Double headed axe's don't qualify. Hey! I HAVE NOTICED THAT! And not even only once! And I appreciate it veeeeerrrry much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the link Blue! it makes me happy someone else notices these things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I started noticing after I found out that the guys from The View bring a massive amount of guitars to their gigs, changing them after nearly every song. While watching all those Mika gig videos I found out that Martin changes guitars during a song. And I was impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I persuaded my bf to pick up his guitar again. He started playing a few years ago but he hasn't touched the thing for about a year now - 'lack of time'. Duh... I want my bf to be a guitar player like Martin (but I think that is quite hard to achieve ). Oh well... I have a thing for guitar players. And for piano players. The hands...
