Interesting, we love trios. Cream, Stevie Ray, ZZTop, Hendrix and many more. The demands on the singer guitar player are enormous as they have to play an interesting rhythm and fills while singing in addition to all the solos and the best trio bass players and drummers work together so well to make it all happen, e.g., Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. Some of my fav gigs were trios - reckon I’m biased smile FWIW and forgive the ole guy post hijacking.

I guess I've always been somewhat picky in this regard.
Two or more lead instruments that can call and answer and intertwine with each other is what I enjoy for a full, rich sound. Chicago, Pink Floyd, Beatles, Alan Parsons, Grateful Dead are a few examples.
Give me a keyboard, 2nd guitar, sax, xylophone, violin or brass instrument anytime.

But to each his own, music is highly personal smile


Hey, didn’t mean I don’t like it all … just love the effort a good trio takes. I recorded garage rock bands in the 60’s and played in a number of five piece acoustic bands for decades. Janice’s brother and a brother in law played in some notable progressive rock bands. And we much like classic rock of the 80’s, jazz and more. It’s all good!

Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more.
