Underøath’s Timothy McTague
Earlier this year, McTague explained how he eschewed the conventions of metal and guitar. “I do the leads,” he explains, “though I don’t like being called the ‘lead guitar player.’ Yuck.” The band’s new record, Erase Me, mainly featured SGs (like the one shown here) and instituted four tunings. “We’re playing baritone in B standard [B–E–A–D–F#–B], plus drop C [C¬–G–C–F–A–D], drop C#, and drop D.”
