Many times, I would get a band which consists of 2 guitarists who both want to play their guitar tracks, despite the fact that their playing capabilities are WAY different.
For example, left rhythm guy is very tight, while the other guy isn't.
Or perhaps both of them are pretty tight against each other, except that one of them just has a tone difference in his playing and eventhough they are both playing the same part (rhythm for example), one speaker's playing will sound different from the other.
(This is assuming we are doing a 100% left/right-style mixing for rhythm guitars)
How do you deal with this? I've had to deal with these a few times in the past, and most times it's always a very awkward situation.
I'd have to explain to them why I only want one person to play both guitar parts. Then of course the other person would frown (eventhough if he tries to seem open-minded, deep down inside, he will be disappointed. I know I would be, if I were in his shoes)
So how do you guys deal with this kind of situation?
