~ Guitar Tone ~
It's all in The Touch

Guitar Tone is a very subjective topic and one that has been carefully studied for decades.
Listen to this short video I made the other day with a cheap Squire Strat and an equally cheap Behringer amp.
Great Tone, right?
So, would it sound any better on a guitar and amp costing 10x as much?
Maybe, maybe not, but that's where it becomes subjective!
There is no right or wrong answer here.
Now, here's an improvised jam I recorded a few months ago on my Levinson Blade which was hand-built in Switzerland ~ this is a superb guitar and absolutel Fender Killer.
It's running through my Vox Tube amp with no other effects other than built in spring reverb (I had FX pedals).
Granted, I'm playing with the slide for the opening bars, but the theory is the same, and when it kicks in, this guitar sings.
But so did the $200 Squire.
Finally, a blues Jam on my beautiful Tokai
I'm sure you'll now agree with me when I say...
Guitar Tone is all about the touch and feel from the players hands and musical soul.
