bluesy Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Obviously, this is all about preference. I'm gonna go with Brian May. The Red Special is just so distinctive and beautiful sounding. The violin-like tone gives me the chills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pain cake Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) stevie ray vaughanWise choice lad, it's even better live. I was sitting 2 rows back from him while he was playing this song for his wife and the tone was just like glass, absolutely fantastic.

artfromtex Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 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.

Guest knerken Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Agree with threadstarter here, noone has a better sound than Brian May. Close second comes Dimebag. Crispy and awsome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 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.

sabre Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Randy RhoadsSeriously? RR is generally seen as having awful tone. Smokin' player though.I love Eddie Van Halen's early tone, and Zakk Wylde's on No more tears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
