I asked my friend, who offered to help out my band, to record an additional guitar track and solo to one of my songs and told him the tuning i recorded it in was C-F-A*-D*-G-C...
Anyway he recorded it, and it's pretty good (solo wasn't where i initially wanted it though) but he was a bit of a smart arse and used his 7 string guitar and a capo. does anyone think this is cheating? i think it kind of is because the 7th string enables him to play notes higher than i can reach on my guitar and i get the feeling that he's showing off! basically, i'm limited to 6 strings and he's not...
I think not playing with the same limits as me is a bit of an insult to be honest, and get the feeling that he just can't be bothered to drop the tuning of 1 of his guitars to match mine.
i agree with fredoms stain, if he bought it or has it he can use it if he likes it and if you think hes showing off get better and show him up with a normal guitar if you feel that annoyied by it
