Your favorite guitarist and their guitar TONE

[exdeath]

Dan Donegan on a Washburn on a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier.

*drool*

Drop C distortion power chords just stop and start on a dime, so clean, so warm.

 

[x-alki]

Neil Young.

Still

 

[JohnShadows]

Hendrix.

 

[Triumph]

Nobody had such a strong first impression as the frist time I heard Eddie Van Halen but lately I'm really impressed by this guy but he's an ultimate under achiever.

i absolutely hate this song. lame chord progression - solo - lame chord progression - solo - lame chord progression - solo - lame chord progression - solo. his solos are good but christ, it's like listening to someone play along with a jam track.

 

[eldorado99]

yep, Gilmour.

 

[JohnShadows]

Eric Johnson.

 

[Fritzo]

I should include Page's 'too fucked up on heroin so i'll just stab at random pentatonic scale notes' tone too, gotta love how raw/powerful it is despite the slop.

Page's solo on No Quarter of the Song Remains the Same album is a tone I've been searching for for years:

[NikolaeVarius]

Definitely Yngwie Malmsteen or Michael Romeo.

Neo-Classical Guitar kicks so much fucking ass. I love how the guitar almost sounds like a violin or cello when Malmsteen plays it. While Michael Romeo can play nigh impossible solos and some insane riffs.

Some amazing shreds here

Charlie Starr of Blackberry Smoke - Not very flashy but I love the tone and have become a huge fan of his band's overall musical awesomeness

You mean a '59 les paul through a marshall stack?

haha. i love the shreds stuff, best comment I read on another one (Clapton one I think it was), "Sounds like I'm at Guitar Center."

 

[Fritzo]

...with a vintage Echoplex being used as a preamp and modded tubes through a SLP1959 and a rare Gibson Thunderbird pickup? Yeah, it's not that easy to get that vocal "honk" he had.

 

[twinrider1]

My Gorilla amp nails that Page tone.

[88keys]

Id say either Vai or Malmsteen.

Bot are very different. But Malmsteen has an awesome tremolo while Steve Vai has a beautiful legato.

 

[Wyndru]

Purely on tone, I can't see anybody topping Eric Johnson.

That is the first thing that came to mind when I read the title.

Woah, this is an old thread.
