youtube and the guitar community is so interesting. Once you're recognized as a creator, every effort you bring to the table tends to somehow show success. For example, this channel has been active once a week for 4 months and it has gotten 4k subs which goes to show how supportive the youtube guitar community is! Amazing stuff!
Just though I'd share. Here's my first and current guitar rig: Piano Black Classical Guitar with a removable pickup, and my first pedal that arrived yesterday Is a chorus.
Alright, I'll throw down with some picks (in no particular order): 1. Scott Holiday (Rival Sons) - Electric Man (absolutely thumps and cuts) 2. Gordie Johnson (Big Sugar) - Diggin' a Hole (12-string, gained-up, open-G slide... awesome) 3. Jeff Tweedy (Wilco) - Hell is Chrome solo (haunting!) 4. Ian Thornley (Big Wreck) - Ghosts (especially the solo) 5. Leo Nocentelli (The Meters) - Cissy Strut (the sound of funk)
1. Peter Green’s LP out of phase tone - far and beyond number one to me. 2. Jimmy Dawkins ES335 and Super Reverb tone on Live in Chicago. 3. Elliot Randall - Reelin in the Years 4. Jimmy Page’s tone specifically on I Cant Quit You Baby, sounds like decay and his tone bender(??)
Dark Side of the Moon was a game changer - it was also a great concert..... full quadraphonic sound for 18,000 fans, in an NHL hockey arena. Awesome...
I really like the breadth of your choices Rhett. I think the more eclectic choices you make positively influence the stuff you’ve been making lately. I really like how you’re progressing as a musician and a creator. I could hear some similar vibes in Nightrider that I hear in your backstage live stuff. Keep at it man. I’m a fan!
Good discussion and examples of inspiring sounds. Adding some others for consideration and in agreement with contributors: A Good Horse - The Cardigans Ride Like Hell - Big Sugar All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix Until the End of the World - U2 Gasoline - Audioslave
My top five: 5. Gold Star For Robot Boy - GBV 4. Only Tomorrow - My Bloody Valentine 3. Dreamsville - Wes Montgomery 2. Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd 1. Impossible Germany - Wilco
One that stands out to me was Drown-Smashing Pumpkins. That is probably one of the best mixed songs I have ever heard. The way each instrument and voice sits in its own swim lane is amazing to me.
Yeah stunning song, solo is great. Billy is such an underrated guitarist. Listened to this on the soundtrack to Singles love it but couldn't find Gish in my town. So had to wait until Siamese dream came out to get more Pumpkins.
The guitar is like a pencil. Everybody's hand writing is different. Sometimes - My Bloody Vallentine Wicked Gil - Band of Horses Wicked Game - Chris Issak Combination - Aerosmith The Rover - Led Zeppelin Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings - ZZ Top Sound of Failure - Flaming Lips World's Forgotten Boy - Billy Idol Watermelon in Easter Hay - Zappa Country Honey - T. Rex Black Sand Beach - Yuzo Kayama Eighties - Killing Joke When the Sun Hits - Slowdive Shadow Play - Joy Division Death Wish - Police Electric Detective - Pat Travers Would - Alice in Chains Mean Street - Van Halen Caribu - Pixies Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before - The Smiths Rumble - Link Wray Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks
I love the no woman no cry solo, the live version. That tone made me want to play, hotel California, purple Haze. So many inspiring tones, everyone's list will be different which is the fun part of music.
Since no one asked, here's my top 5 guitar tones evah: 5. Unchained - Van Halen 4. Holiday in Cambodia - Dead Kennedys 3. Tush - ZZ Top 2. No One Knows - Queens of the Stone Age 1. It's A Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n Roll) - AC/DC
Another killer episode guys! For me Til Summer Comes Around By Keith Urban has some of the best guitar work and tone of all time. Absolutely world class..
I think Keith’s album with his band The Ranch was one of the best albums of the 90s. I’ve been waiting his entire solo career for him to record an album like it, but it probably won’t happen. Til Summer Comes Around is as good if not better than anything on that album and easily the best song of his solo career.
Billy Gibbon’s tone on Brown Sugar (Live at Gruene Hall) is so good. Gilmour on Shine on You Crazy Diamond. EVH on Panama. Eric Johnson on Cliffs of Dover is so melodic and almost hypnotic. Knofler on Money for Nothing would round out my top 5.
The Degüello (Spanish: El toque a degüello) is a bugle call, notable in the US for its use as a march by Mexican Army buglers during the 1836 Siege and Battle of the Alamo[1] to signal that the defenders of the garrison would receive no quarter by the attacking Mexican Army under General Antonio López de Santa Anna. The Degüello was introduced to the Americas by the Spanish armies and was later adopted by the patriot armies fighting against them during the Spanish American wars of independence. It was also widely used by Simon Bolivar's armies, notably during the Battle of Junin[2] and the Battle of Ayacucho.[3] "Degüello" is a Spanish noun from the verb "degollar", to describe the action of throat-cutting.
My top 5 recorded guitar tones: * Thickfreakness - Black Keys * Texas Flood - SRV * Honky Tonk Woman - Rolling Stones * Catfish blues - Live - Gary Clark Jr Live (does this count because its a live album?) * Know your enemy - RATM
Top 5 in no order Comfortably Numb - solo Holidays in the Sun - Sex Pistols - Steve Jones Famous Jane (solo) - Arc Angles Bramhall Drown - Son Volt - Farrar and Boquist Danny Gatton - Anything...
Another good idea would be to do a overdrive with a switchable beano treble booster in the first stage and a mild ampop base transparent overdrive (like hi-fi from 60hz to 15khz) and a active 3 band eq also switchable in the 3 stage.
A bit late to the party. Been catching up on early episodes. Absolutely love the accents. I would listen you guys do skits and accents for hours. Oh, and the guitar stuff is cool too 😅
Knowing Rhett’s tone and playing from following his channel for a while I have to say I’m disappointed interpol wasn’t mentioned. As far as Indie type tones or that kind of thing with lush broken up tones it doesn’t get any better than what they’ve got going on. Some of the most beautiful guitar sounds ever.
On not playing things so exact, I've heard it called "sloppy good" guitar playing. It's something you start working on after someone tells you that you sound like you should play sessions but you want to play live with a band.
My top 5 in no particular order. SRV- Lenny Eric Johnson- Both clean and solo tones John Frusciante- Under the bridge John Mayer- Where the light is and Trio Josh Smith- Tele bridge tone and leslie tone
Haha, these accents reminds me of The walking dead! With our curfew, the streets in Montreal look like the empty streets of Atlanta at the beginning of TWD....great video as usual!
I have a Black Crowes bootleg of "Girl from the North Country" with Marc Ford's tone totally amazing. P90's through Marshall Jubillees with a fuzz face if I had to guess but ...
Genocide-Link Wray Funnel of Love-Wanda Jackson Things Don't Work Out Right-Hound Dog Taylor Dirty Blue Gene-Captain Beefheart On the Corner/New York Girl/Thinkin' One Thing and Doin' Another-Miles Davis On the Corner All of Zappa's solos on "Overnight Sensation" All of Zeppelin I I Heard it on the X-ZZ Top Bring On The Night/When The World Is Running Down, You Make The Best Of What's Still Around -The Police Damaged Goods-Gang of Four Marquee Moon-Television Washing Machine-Sonic Youth Read & Burn-Wire Hag Me-The Melvins My Kimono/Enemy Insects-Polvo Snoopy Waves-Deerhoof
The lead tone from Sister Morphine on Sticky Fingers is beyond amazing. Agree with Time.......it's so beyond everything else. John Mayer has any number of amazing tones , but the solo on Champion from The Search for Everything really stands out to me.......just a handful of big clean pure notes that are freaky amazing.
Recently fascinated by the guitar tone on Black Crows Shake your Money Maker - (track - jealous in particular) such a fat tone. Pretty sure it’s a tele or LP middle position through a Marshall in to a 4 x 12, but it’s magic
Some favorite guitar tones but I'm also thinking in terms of total mix; Devin Townsend: Infinity (Album), Opeth: Blackwater Park (album), Blink 182 EotS (Album, I said it)
I always read gibson's slogan the way you are meaning "fine guitar instruments". That they are only "good enough" like every other brand is great and only Gibson is "good enough". It was always a joke at the music store I worked at because so many gibson's showed up with issues. In fact we had one show up without pickups or tuning machines on them. Somehow that passed Gibson quality control and made it to us. Thus they are only "good enough"
Not to be that guy, but I mean, John Mayer in the whole “Where the Light Is” show. I know it’s cliche and uncool, but JM has been my inspiration since I picked up an electric.
I never thought about it in terms of "screwing up", but you're right that playing and having the audience feel like you're out on a limb and playing at the edge of your capability, i.e. going for it, is exciting. Even if it's totally fake. I guess that makes some kinda strange sense. I always thought that Johnny Winter played that way. Always on the edge of totally out of control, but not.
Geordie Walker from Killing Joke (Gibson ES-295 through Burman amplifiers for basically the whole 30+ years of the band's existence) never gets credit in these tone-offs but definitely should.
OK not including classics like Albatross, Little Wing (SRV), All along the Watchtower (Jimi) and Slashes November Rain Solos These are the tones in my head at the moment. Cherub Rock - Billy Corgan - This is the greatest use of fuzz I've ever heard. Kirk Fletcher- just about any of his youtube music, the sweetest blues tone (and laugh) on youtube Danish Pete - Trying out the Triplegraph youtube video has the funniest sounds in 2020, the grin on his face says it all Tash Sultana - Jungle - Love the guitar sounds on this song so much. Sometimes a laptop, loops, plus vocal and guitar talent (rather than celebrity) works. I'm still digesting this after watching her youtube bedroom video for the song and then listening to the final product amazing. I've listened to this song too many times in the last fortnight. Jessy Wilson - Clap your hands (from the road) - Not sure who is playing the guitar but hotdamn it sounds good (southern accent). I'll give a shout out to two bass tones as well (not counting JPJ or Entwhistle tones!) Jeff Ament playing Fretless for Three Fish in the song Laced - Don't know why but this floats my boat Justin Chancellor - Schism. Plus too many jack white tones in his many solo and band iterations that never leave my brain.
Dimethyltryptamine is a neuro-transmitter, like serotonin or dopamine, is found in the brain of every Human, and is the most potent hallucinogen we know of. Ayahuasca is a mixture of DMT and a monoamine-oxidase inhibitor to enable the DMT to survive oral ingestion without being broken down and recycled before reaching the brain.
I feel like the discussion of why you didn’t get around to doing a track yet is now “the track”. Having a actual music track would now be a disservice to “the track”. Just saying. 😂
I mean you guys kinda hit on my beef with the Edge - I feel like his guitar sound gets imitated in a lot of contexts that feel super unmusical to me. You pointed out CCM stuff but I also hear it all the time in stock advertising music, hold music, elevator music, etc.
Just a thought, we have our "GAS", getting new gear, guitars,amps, etc.... if the wife wants some skis and it makes her happy, get her the skis, and dont make fun or it could come back and bite you in the tail end!! (voice of experience)
I picked up my acoustic for the first time in a while today, strummed a few open chords set out to practice, the.n saw my Flying V and ended up noodling on it over random backing tracks. Anyone else have this problem?
Jimi Hendrix voodoo chile Eric Clapton and Duane allmen Layla Gary moore Parisienne walk away David Gilmour time Jack white ball and biscuit Jeff Beck where were you. For me
Respect on the tosin pick but CAFO is ten years old tone wise. Check out "the brain dance" live session for 2 ridiculous guitarists and a god tier drummer
T spring sucks, I bought from them 5 different times and every time got the wrong size or the quality was destroyed and got a refund everytime. Just wanted to let you guys know so you won’t get into trouble 🙂
I NEVER BOUGHT A U2 ALBUM, CD ETC.....BUT DONT THINK I EVER CHANGED THE STATION EITHER WHEN U2 WAS PLAYING...THATS A GROUP WHERE THE LEAD SINGER AND GUITAR PLAYER WERE MEANT TO PLAY TOGETHER....THE EDGE ONLY HELPED SELL 100 MILLION RECORDS.....HE CANT BE THAT GOOD LOL A REAL MUSICIAN RESPECTS EVEN THE MUSICIANS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF THERE GENRE OR TASTE OF MUSIC...IN THIS ERA ID HAVE TO CONTRIDICT MYSELF WHEN IT COMES TO HIP HOP, THESE DAYS.....THEN AGAIN IM THE OLDER GUY NOW SAYING BIGGIE SMALLS AND NAS WAS THE GREATEST RAPPER EVER LOL....BUT I WILL SAY THAT THE PRODUCERS AND RAPPERS OF TODAY, ARE WHERE THEY ARE BC OF TALENT, IN THERE GENRE.......AS I GOT OLDER AND STARTED PLAYING GUITAR I JUST GREW OUT THAT GENRE IN GENERAL......AND AS FAR AS TONE, I LOVE EVERY THING THAT I HEAR FROM GARY CLARK JR. LIVE, IF HIS BAND RECORDED LIVE, I DONT THINK THERE WOULD BE MUCH COMPETITION. LOVE THE BEANO TONE, AND ILL SAY THIS ANY CRANKED SMALLAMP BLUES TONE , HATE DELAY, SORRY GUYS, IM REALLY A 5 TO 15 WATT TOPS, FENDER REVERB TYPE PLAYER, WITH A GOOD OVERDRIVE JUST TO ADD SOME MORE TUBE BREAKUP......THE OL SCHOOL BLUES GUYS HAD IT RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING IMO
Josh Homme on the “Songs for the Deaf” album or anything Malcom Young up until “Back in Black”🤘🏻
My top 5 (in no order)
5.Under The Bridge
4.Fell on Black Days
3.Comfortable Numb (solo... duh)
2.Sad but True
1.Blackbird by Alter Bridge verse
Is it just me or is that opening track AMAZING?

Surprised to hear the Edge love, 100% agree. Super creative artist.
I love the Edge, Bullet the Blue Sky is my favourite Edge guitar solo and its not very typical of his sound

I’ve watched this ep like twelve times now but Since I’ve been loving you
Had never heard Catch A Train by Free. It freakin' smokes. Thanks Zach.
The strokes are my favorite guitar band of all time. Nice one Zach
Billy Gibbon’s tone on Brown Sugar (Live at Gruene Hall) is so good. Gilmour on Shine on You Crazy Diamond. EVH on Panama. Eric Johnson on Cliffs of Dover is so melodic and almost hypnotic. Knofler on Money for Nothing would round out my top 5.
Panama’s one of my top too
Gotta agree with Catch A Train. Beautiful in every way

"Degüello" is a Spanish noun from the verb "degollar", to describe the action of throat-cutting.
I really like George Lynch's late 80's early 90's guitar tone, Andy Timmons is also great
I am looking seriously at getting a JCM800 and a LynchMod for it.

My top 5 recorded guitar tones:
* Thickfreakness - Black Keys
* Texas Flood - SRV

Top 5 in no order
Comfortably Numb - solo
Holidays in the Sun - Sex Pistols - Steve Jones

Drown - Son Volt - Farrar and Boquist

Another good idea would be to do a overdrive with a switchable beano treble booster in the first stage and a mild ampop base transparent overdrive (like hi-fi from 60hz to 15khz) and a active 3 band eq also switchable in the 3 stage.

As far as Indie type tones or that kind of thing with lush broken up tones it doesn’t get any better than what they’ve got going on. Some of the most beautiful guitar sounds ever.
Eric Johnson on Cliffs of Dover kinda blew my mind the first time I heard it.
On not playing things so exact, I've heard it called "sloppy good" guitar playing. It's something you start working on after someone tells you that you sound like you should play sessions but you want to play live with a band.
For me - SRV, Mark Knopfler, Eric Johnson, Jimmy Page, ACDC, Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, EVH, Warren DeMartini, and the Boss HM-2 🤟
My top 5 in no particular order.
SRV- Lenny
Eric Johnson- Both clean and solo tones
John Frusciante- Under the bridge
John Mayer- Where the light is and Trio
Josh Smith- Tele bridge tone and leslie tone
I really like the tone on fm by steely Dan specially the closing solo section
Haha, these accents reminds me of The walking dead! With our curfew, the streets in Montreal look like the empty streets of Atlanta at the beginning of TWD....great video as usual!
I have a Black Crowes bootleg of "Girl from the North Country" with Marc Ford's tone totally amazing. P90's through Marshall Jubillees with a fuzz face if I had to guess but ...
I will forever say Machine Gun live at Fillmore East is my favorite Hendrix tone
Jim Campilongo, Ry Cooder, Madison Cunningham and Blake Mills for me 🕺🏽
Your list is the best I've seen in a long time! Be well, brother.
Going to enjoy this. I have 3 heroes of guitar tone, Tony Iommi, Brian May and David Gilmour.
I'm bad, I'm nationwide is my favorite ZZTop song too!!
Genocide-Link Wray
Funnel of Love-Wanda Jackson
Things Don't Work Out Right-Hound Dog Taylor

John Mayer has any number of amazing tones , but the solo on Champion from The Search for Everything really stands out to me.......just a handful of big clean pure notes that are freaky amazing.
Me in class : *sees new dipped in tone episode*
Also me: "math isn't important
Spanish is a joke
Last assignment for it as well
Lynyrd Skynyrd's 70s albums are a goldmine of great hard rock guitar tones.
Yup U2 New Years Day - Awesome !
I know it's cliche but SRV will always be the pinnacle of tone for me
Not sure if he has been mentioned yet but check out Audley Freed's tone on the "Brother" album by Cry of Love.
Jimmy Page 59 Tele through bridge is one of the greatest guitar tones ever
John Frusciante's The Empyrean is a good example of what you can achieve processing guitars through modular synths
Recently fascinated by the guitar tone on Black Crows Shake your Money Maker - (track - jealous in particular) such a fat tone. Pretty sure it’s a tele or LP middle position through a Marshall in to a 4 x 12, but it’s magic
Cross ZZ Top I'm bad, I'm nation wide and Jimi Hendrix Manic depression and you've got every tune the Queen of the stoneage ever recorded.
The guy from mythos should start a series of pedals in modular cases so that modular synthesis guitar players can use them in their modular world
And vice-versa, pedals based on modules like VCF etc
Some favorite guitar tones but I'm also thinking in terms of total mix;
Devin Townsend: Infinity (Album),
Opeth: Blackwater Park (album), Blink 182 EotS (Album, I said it)
I always read gibson's slogan the way you are meaning "fine guitar instruments". That they are only "good enough" like every other brand is great and only Gibson is "good enough". It was always a joke at the music store I worked at because so many gibson's showed up with issues. In fact we had one show up without pickups or tuning machines on them.

Not to be that guy, but I mean, John Mayer in the whole “Where the Light Is” show. I know it’s cliche and uncool, but JM has been my inspiration since I picked up an electric.
Here are my 5, Jimi, Harrison, Gilmour, Frusciante and Adrian Smith.
I never thought about it in terms of "screwing up", but you're right that playing and having the audience feel like you're out on a limb and playing at the edge of your capability, i.e. going for it, is exciting. Even if it's totally fake. I guess that makes some kinda strange sense. I always thought that Johnny Winter played that way. Always on the edge of totally out of control, but not.
Geordie Walker from Killing Joke (Gibson ES-295 through Burman amplifiers for basically the whole 30+ years of the band's existence) never gets credit in these tone-offs but definitely should.
OK not including classics like Albatross, Little Wing (SRV), All along the Watchtower (Jimi) and Slashes November Rain Solos These are the tones in my head at the moment.
Cherub Rock - Billy Corgan - This is the greatest use of fuzz I've ever heard.
Kirk Fletcher- just about any of his youtube music, the sweetest blues tone (and laugh) on youtube
Danish Pete - Trying out the Triplegraph youtube video has the funniest sounds in 2020, the grin on his face says it all
Tash Sultana - Jungle - Love the guitar sounds on this song so much. Sometimes a laptop, loops, plus vocal and guitar talent (rather than celebrity) works. I'm still digesting this after watching her youtube bedroom video for the song and then listening to the final product amazing. I've listened to this song too many times in the last fortnight.
Jessy Wilson - Clap your hands (from the road) - Not sure who is playing the guitar but hotdamn it sounds good (southern accent).
I'll give a shout out to two bass tones as well (not counting JPJ or Entwhistle tones!)
Jeff Ament playing Fretless for Three Fish in the song Laced - Don't know why but this floats my boat
Justin Chancellor - Schism.
Plus too many jack white tones in his many solo and band iterations that never leave my brain.
Rhett I'm exactly the same when a new album is being release by an artist or band that I really like. It's quite weird.
Dimethyltryptamine is a neuro-transmitter, like serotonin or dopamine, is found in the brain of every Human, and is the most potent hallucinogen we know of. Ayahuasca is a mixture of DMT and a monoamine-oxidase inhibitor to enable the DMT to survive oral ingestion without being broken down and recycled before reaching the brain.
hell yea ytg and the strokes im so with it
Like that you said that about jack white and the raconteurs!
Down Brownie is a ZZ Top song !!
It is indeed!
Rhett if you like Young the Giant you need to check the band Vetusta Morla. They have awesome songs and the album La deriva is amazing.
The edge and U2 have one of the best, the best live sounds I've ever heard
Silly hipsters! I love you guys!
I feel like the discussion of why you didn’t get around to doing a track yet is now “the track”. Having a actual music track would now be a disservice to “the track”. Just saying. 😂
I mean you guys kinda hit on my beef with the Edge - I feel like his guitar sound gets imitated in a lot of contexts that feel super unmusical to me. You pointed out CCM stuff but I also hear it all the time in stock advertising music, hold music, elevator music, etc.
Andy Summers!! Great tone.
Just a thought, we have our "GAS", getting new gear, guitars,amps, etc.... if the wife wants some skis and it makes her happy, get her the skis, and dont make fun or it could come back and bite you in the tail end!! (voice of experience)
"Fine" ...."not our best". Nex thing I know, I'm singing Charlie Robison's 'You're Not The Best' (but you're the best that I can get)
I picked up my acoustic for the first time in a while today, strummed a few open chords set out to practice, the.n saw my Flying V and ended up noodling on it over random backing tracks. Anyone else have this problem?
yeah. i picked up my acoustic the other day, and looked over to where my flying v should be...
oh crap.
“Jimi Hendrix...didn’t he do the muppets?” -my sister-in-law🤦🏻♂️😂
Jimi Hendrix voodoo chile
Eric Clapton and Duane allmen Layla
Gary moore Parisienne walk away

Here's my 5 - Steve Vai, The Beatles (John, George), SRV, EVH, Jimmy Herring/Derek Trucks. Honorable mention to Yngwie.
Rhettex Shin
29:25 'Boomer guitarist trapped in a millennial's body' - comedy gold!
A "shoil" sounds very Greg Koch 😁
The MANSQUATCH!
@@DippedInTone his episode with Dan and Mick at TPS is absolutely priceless.
Damn Rhett has a great southern accent
Respect on the tosin pick but CAFO is ten years old tone wise. Check out "the brain dance" live session for 2 ridiculous guitarists and a god tier drummer
Can I make a track for this podcast??
That feeling you get when guys 15 years younger complain about being old...
We're all just in different stages of growing old.
Sorry love Zach's picks WAY more IMO all subjective Free Live one of my favorites
At this point, do you guys actually wanna make a track😂😂. By the way, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi by Radiohead great guitar tone. Love the show guys!
T spring sucks, I bought from them 5 different times and every time got the wrong size or the quality was destroyed and got a refund everytime.
Just wanted to let you guys know so you won’t get into trouble 🙂
Any other suggestions
A-how-how-how...
I NEVER BOUGHT A U2 ALBUM, CD ETC.....BUT DONT THINK I EVER CHANGED THE STATION EITHER WHEN U2 WAS PLAYING...THATS A GROUP WHERE THE LEAD SINGER AND GUITAR PLAYER WERE MEANT TO PLAY TOGETHER....THE EDGE ONLY HELPED SELL 100 MILLION RECORDS.....HE CANT BE THAT GOOD LOL A REAL MUSICIAN RESPECTS EVEN THE MUSICIANS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF THERE GENRE OR TASTE OF MUSIC...IN THIS ERA ID HAVE TO CONTRIDICT MYSELF WHEN IT COMES TO HIP HOP, THESE DAYS.....THEN AGAIN IM THE OLDER GUY NOW SAYING BIGGIE SMALLS AND NAS WAS THE GREATEST RAPPER EVER LOL....BUT I WILL SAY THAT THE PRODUCERS AND RAPPERS OF TODAY, ARE WHERE THEY ARE BC OF TALENT, IN THERE GENRE.......AS I GOT OLDER AND STARTED PLAYING GUITAR I JUST GREW OUT THAT GENRE IN GENERAL......AND AS FAR AS TONE, I LOVE EVERY THING THAT I HEAR FROM GARY CLARK JR. LIVE, IF HIS BAND RECORDED LIVE, I DONT THINK THERE WOULD BE MUCH COMPETITION. LOVE THE BEANO TONE, AND ILL SAY THIS ANY CRANKED SMALLAMP BLUES TONE , HATE DELAY, SORRY GUYS, IM REALLY A 5 TO 15 WATT TOPS, FENDER REVERB TYPE PLAYER, WITH A GOOD OVERDRIVE JUST TO ADD SOME MORE TUBE BREAKUP......THE OL SCHOOL BLUES GUYS HAD IT RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING IMO
