also, i prefer using the neck pickup for this.

that's my opinion on the best electric guitar tone]]> Opinions and Polls U2Bono269 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/the-best-guitar-tone-in-your-opinion/paged/3/#post-205062 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/the-best-guitar-tone-in-your-opinion/paged/3/#post-204936 Sun, 22 Oct 2006 09:15:35 +0000 Opinions and Polls StormyMonday https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/the-best-guitar-tone-in-your-opinion/paged/3/#post-204936 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/the-best-guitar-tone-in-your-opinion/paged/3/#post-204934 Sun, 22 Oct 2006 07:47:29 +0000 Opinions and Polls Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/the-best-guitar-tone-in-your-opinion/paged/3/#post-204934 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/the-best-guitar-tone-in-your-opinion/paged/3/#post-204919 Sun, 22 Oct 2006 04:53:40 +0000
but that SG/Marshall sound - Sweet Child Of Mine is such a great sounding lead part, have you ever noticed how similar the intro to "Poison" by Alice Cooper sounds to it?

But for purity of tone, have a listen to "Parisienne Walkways" by Gary Moore - it's a sad, nostalgic song anyway but I swear GM makes that guitar shed tears......

Carlos Santana is another guitarist who seems to wring pure emotion out of the neck of his guitar.......correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he a Les Paul guy as well?

But there's one guy, doesn't matter if he uses an SG, Tele, Les Paul or some weird concoction from science-fiction with three necks....Jimmy Page can always fit the guitar to the song, whether it's acoustic or electric, he is the absolute master of tone....and that's my opinion, you may of course feel perfectly free to disagree.......

Even though you'd be wrong.........

Similar, I loved Clapton in his Cream days, and the tone Paul Kossloff with Free used knocks me out.

I love Billy Gibbons tone too.

But I like clean tones too. I love the guitar on Wicked Game by Chris Issak, not sure who the guitarist is. But that clean Strat with heavy reverb and tremelo bar is awesome.

Brian May's tone is soo smooth and warm, especially in Killer Queen.

Clapton's live tone is pretty sweet, with the mid-gain boost he's got in his guitar.

Love Townshend's tone too, defined the Who.]]> Opinions and Polls Taso https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/the-best-guitar-tone-in-your-opinion/paged/3/#post-204092 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/the-best-guitar-tone-in-your-opinion/paged/3/#post-204086 Tue, 17 Oct 2006 03:25:01 +0000 sometimes i don't like hendrix's tones, probably due to the limited tech of the time, but a lot of the time, it just cuts through everything else. i once turned on a radio station and heard -two- notes and thought, "someone sounds just like hendrix!" and then as the notes came pouring out, i began to realize it was a live recording of red house. noone else is that recognizeable. the other two are close, though.
i'd say robert johnson's slide, and some of his licks, also.]]> Opinions and Polls Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/the-best-guitar-tone-in-your-opinion/paged/3/#post-204086
