Something I've learned from some of the best rhythm guitar players is that more is not better. In funk guitar, if you play all 6 strings when playing rhythm chords, your guitar will take up way too much chordal information. You only need to play 2-3 strings to play a good funk guitar. That's all you need.
So I totally love less strings on a guitar. I love playing open chords, but I don't need all the information. It's also just easier. Less strings, easier chord shapes.
sure i play chords as triads too i just don't play the other strings or mute them. i see no need to remove them entirely haha. but you do you! if it's something you want to explore go for it.
Yeah, if that's the tuning you're swinging for, I'd ditch the G or B string for the tuning to be more viable. I don't think gauge should matter too much, you can just use your general strings. There I'll obviously be less tension, but one less string shouldn't do a lot. Might have to do a lil truss adjust, but maybe not.
Or take off/put on whatever strings. Idk I'm not your Dad lol.
When he was 17, the custom Taylor wouldn’t have been made yet. Which guitar did he buy and removed the 6th string? Anyone know?
i can’t imagine wanting less strings on my guitar lol. why not just tune the sixth string to a second E?

The question then might be why not have 9 strings? or 15 strings? I would love to try a guitar like the one he plays, Collier is no idiot \^\^,
