melodic stringless guitar Explanation: This refers to a stringless guitar being used for sweet guitar melodies. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2018-12-03 10:56:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Regarding "lyric guitar", the Google hits I've found all seem to (1) be from an ESL (English as a Second Language) source as an intrusion from other languages (lyrique - FR, lirica - ES, etc), (2) be in the context of "lyric(s), guitar", (3) be a proper compound noun (e.g. the name of an album), or (4) refer to a guitar with lyrics printed on it. Lyrique can refer to operatic music, but it doesn't sound fitting to the context of giving up drums and being up-front on stage. Instead, for me and many others it conjures up images of the solo in While My Guitar Gently Weeps and of Joe Satriani's playing style. It's difficult to find references that are suitable for KudoZ as they're mainly links to little-known musicians on Youtube or forums. But Google it and enjoy listening :) . -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2018-12-03 14:32:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This type of playing is called "melodic guitar" but Phil is right in saying that the most accurate translation of the source term should mention that it's emotional.
