    Great that you included Turn the lights down low. Lot's of great guitar work to be found on all of the Bob Marley & the Wailers albums. Often overlooked by many people learning guitar.

    Also, one of the best guitar tones/sounds is the chorus with a little bit of an edge on Def Leppard‘s Hysteria.

      The guitars were recorded using a Rockman for the entire album. No amps. Such an iconic sound.

      @@jpizzleforizzle I’ve been learning a lot of DL riffs recently and I’ve found a good way to replicate the tone is to use my blues driver with my jazz chorus and I dial the mids entirely off

    TURN YOUR LIGHTS DOWN LOW!!! One of my absolute favorite Marley songs (and I listen to a LOT of Marley) and I just played it for a group of 9 close friends the other night and not ONE of them knew it, I'm so happy to find that somebody else loves it.

    Being both a crappy guitarist and not an expert of clean tones, this video is perfect for Me!
    BTW talking of guitar tones, I love the Eric Johnson lead one, but it's also one of the hardest to even get close to, at least for me and even owning a Strat...

    this is such an awesome video, have wanted to get into tone for a while now but have always found finding the right place to start to be so intimidating and impenetrable. this video does such an awesome job simplifying the idea of signal flow and tone, i really appreciate the breadth of knowledge on display here. thanks ayla for another banger

    If you ask many contemporary guitarists of today, they would all say one basic thing about tone...
    Nuno put it best when he was finally in the presence of Eddie, who handed him his guitar to play
    THAT tone... The Guitar, the Effects, The Amps, and the DNA was all in his hands... He HAD that
    perfect tone in front of him... Soooo, when he started to play, he was totally devastated...
    Instead of sounding like the most iconic TONE of all time, Nuno 'only' sounded like himself...
    It`s all in the fingers!!!

  • @jeffbriggs4268
    @jeffbriggs4268 2 роки тому +6

    Lately, I enjoy chicken pickers. In the past there were so many good tones from the late 60s through the 70s. Robin Trower's Bridge of Sighs has some great ones. Jerry Garcia has lots of them throughout his career. I like the reverse delay from Jimi Hendrix's Castles Made of Sand. Thre were a lot of great tones from Steely Dan and Little Feat, too. Eric Clapton has some great tones, too

  • @russpennekamp5149
    @russpennekamp5149 2 роки тому +28

    I'd have to say that my all-time favorite guitar tone is the "Boston" guitar tone.

    • @kentonhammond8938
      @kentonhammond8938 2 роки тому +5

      They did have a unique tone, he was an M.I.T. Graduate & virtually came up with his own tone. It was a great one at the time, but the only problem with Boston was that if you heard the first album, you heard them all. They never really changed after that, in my humble opinion, they just stayed the same.

  • @jamesford8701
    @jamesford8701 2 роки тому +3

    I'm really into Rotem Sivan guitar tone. On I think it's "All we need" . He has a great raw tone through his Howard Robert's into a fender twin Reverb with just a slight touch with a Fishman guitar synth...it's soooo beautiful to me right now. Great video. Forgot all about C and C good catch.

    Hey Ayla, glad you did the funky Meters tune. New Orleans Jazz Fest is back after a 2 year Covid delay, it is the last week in April and the 1st week in May. Glad you did Hendrix too. Just curios, I wonder what that strat would look like with a aged white pearloid pickguard and knobs. Hey when I was a kid Crimson and Clover came on the radio and my Dad kept on trying to tune in the station. LOL 😂 I sure do miss him. Thanks. 👍🎸🙏😎✌️

    Crimson (again?) And Clover along with Pictures of Matchstick Men were intros to cool tremolo for me as well 😎👍

    Hello Ayla .. Another Gr8 lesson .. I was not a Marc Bolan Fan But I was forced to the Song "Listen to Life's a Gas " of one of Marc's album's My schoolfriend had access to his older sisters Stereo & He insisted I listen over & over until I agreed it was a good song. .. On the Recording of Jimi in his Electric Ladyland studio .. I have watched so many interviews & seen so many Still's B&W shots of him .. it is difficult to be sure of much except they were using good Herb's lol .. But there is a picture of Jimi sitting in the main Live room & he is sitting on the floor next to a Bassman & I believe he was double tracking with himself ?? Eddie Kramer had Mike's all over & it's true Jimi played a lot of the stuff in the mixing Desk room & my favoutite story from someone who was there is that Jimi played a part that was then going to be played back in reverse & to the amazement of all he seemed to have planned the part perfectly so that when he laid down the next part over the Backwards playing tape he Got it right 1st take as if he knew exactly how it would sound ?? Genius or Luck / Talent... But what fun it must have been to be there & be a part of it all . Dave Mason who played the acoustic guitar part in " Watchtower " seem's to have some of the best & informed memories of the sessions I urge you to try & find them .. Anyway Big love to you & all the crew & the Band etc To Guitar learners young & old .. I have bought a really Light Strat ' affinity series & I have a small multi Fx ( won't name ) That seem's to have a strange mind of it's own .. But it allows me to play with Headphones on when I cannot sleep ( still Bed bound a lot of Back pain ) But Never give up .. Right ? & I still have fun . I wish I had the Set up Line 6 stuff .. But I will have to save up for that . Stay safe & Well you are always cool .. From the Forest where spring is beginning to show . Cheers

    BTW, I don't think the tempo of Crimson and Clover is 168 bpm, more like 80 ish. Keep up the good work.

    Nice job, and thanks for the careful explanations of stuff. I don't really have any problems with the choices you made, and it's a good broad palette of sounds - I just feel it necessary to say because I loved it so much ... the best guitar tone I ever heard was Stevie Ray Vaughan live. Would be maybe interesting to compare it to the Hendrix tone you reviewed. Really good job, thanks.
