Is it ok to use specific instruments (guitar vs electric guitar)?

Not sure what I like as my fourth. I'll be back later to fix it.

It's okay, but in my book it weakens the claim.

In such a broad definition, I'm thinking "guitar" as one entry includes both the campfire strummer and the Fender Stratocaster.

But that's part of the debate. Anything you want to enter is valid.

Drum
Violin
Guitar

Trumpet
Saxophone
Guitar

I'd love to put some sort of percussion instrument on there, but "drum" seems too general to me (almost like putting "low brass" or "woodwind").

Saxophone is easily the weakest on my board... thinking about it more I'd probably replace it with violin or harp or something more classical.

EDIT: This thread needs more cowbell.

Guitar
Piano
Violin
Bagpipes

Trombone

darn no one likes the harmonica :(

lead guitar

Let's play Rock'n Roll now !

Lead guitar and solo guitar are the same things. Pick another. :)

Lets geek out for a minute...

Silence

The Hertz designation
Skin flute

The last time i checked, we didn't have a lot of songs that featured the cowbell

Sunburst Les Paul Classic
Fender Stratocaster
Stradavarius Violin
Steinway Grand Piano

Hey, if Bruce Dickinson says we need more cowbell, I say we give him more cowbell!

dola-

I dig cuervo's "human voice" response. That's the best one on the board.
