Best guitar tone


bluesy

Recommended Posts

i guess it depends on the song or style of music. i love EVH's "brown sound", but i also love the full bodied warmth of SRV, the searing scoop of "Ride The Lightning", Jimi's "fuzz", James Burton's Telecaster "chicken pickin'" sound is one of my faves to.

i guess i'll go with that last one, bright clean Telecaster with a little slap-back reverb, plucked with pick and fingers.

Steve Vai's tone is perfect for his playing. On some other shredder's albums or concerts, you tend to miss things because their sound gets all muddy when they play faster, but with Vai's you never miss a thing.

Jeff Beck has always had a great tone, and half of the sound's standout-ness is probably due to the fact that he picks mostly with his fingers.

Eric Johnson's tone I really like, and I agree about Ritchie Blackmore, such an awesome sound.

Jimmy Page's had some great tones in the studio, although he was always switching amps and guitars, so it'd be hard to pinpoint one.
