Can yoy tell...
Just a thought I had yesterday. When your listning to a song can you tell what kind of guitar is on the track? Sometimes I can sometimes I can't. I think it's easier on 70's rock than modern rock due to the weird n wonderful sounds of the various pedals and amps around today. Whats your thoughts on this?

Not the exact brand and/or model , but generaly , single coil vs humbucking pickups , acoustic vs elec acous vs solid elec are things easily noticeable by almost everybody.
Also you can easily know if there's a trem bridge if you heard some heavy trem action.

The 3 guitars I can notice all the time are Les Pauls, Strats and Teles. I've been around the Strats and Teles for a while, that I can figure out, down to a great amount of details, what kind of Strat or Tele it is. The reason I know a Les Paul when I hear one is because I don't liek them all that much, so I remember them. However I do listen to the song anyways, hell most are classics anyway.

i find it hard sometimes as often sounds become distorted but clean is generally fairly easy
WWSD? What would stevie do?

It's really hard to tell stuff like that now. Hell even Lynard Skynard uses protools and amp farm!!! Welcome to the digital age....
So. If you throw a cat out of a car window, is it considered "kitty litter"?

My fx box (DOD GS30) can make my guitar sound so many different ways I don't think I would even hazard a guess what kind of kit a guitarist played with except that if they are very famous they're probably endorsed by Ibanez. Some great guitar players play some less well known makes though e.g. Nuno Bettencourt plays Washburns, Shaun Baxter Patrick Eggle, Allan Holdsworth plays Carvin (when not playing synthaxes). None of these are the big three (Ibanez, Gibson or Fender) but all have top tone. I guess perhaps the patents of those pieces of kit that secured particular tone qualities for particular companies have perhaps largely expired and that todays luthiers know exactly what's been done before and how to do it again.
If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?

Its impossible to tell, although i can spot guitarists. I heard "aint no nice guy" by motorhead and knew instantly that slashed played the solo!
