New research reveals that guitar skills in extreme metal music are more linked to male competition and status than to attracting mates. The study, focusing on heterosexual male guitarists, suggests that technical proficiency in guitar playing serves more as a display of dominance among peers.
I’d go for a 27 string guitar with 12 knobs over 3 pickups, that’s like a volume and a mini 3 band EQ per pickup.
Probably a 7 string with doubled and sympathetic strings like a sitar. \m/
