ok, thanks jesse. I didn't see you guys live yet so I thought you would be using like a midi track live or something for the third part. btw I've only been into your music for a week and I'm completely taken away by it. It's fantastic!
It varies depending on the part. That said I think we never leave out the rhythm guitars. Typically charley plays all rhythm parts and then barre plays what he/we judge to be the most important lead/clean for a given part. It's a trade off for sure but it seems to work out fairly well.
