TONE 201: An example of a not-so-good mix

[morphine]

tone is in the bank account.

very true.....
give a guitar master an average sounding electric or acoustic....
give a newbie player all the gears for great tone.........

I partially agree with sir alex that tone smashes technique..

It's the reason why most of us suffer from gas.. it's that tone searching stuff that we want to reach even if we're not that skilled..
It's also the reason why that kid in PGT got swanget comments from the judges, "nasobrahan sa electric"..
The reason why most of us complain with sound engineers with how they mix and set the sound levels..

Typical novice way of setting up his/her tone, too much gain and treble on a solid state amp the result, ear-piercing ice pick highs

Having the ear for tone takes experience too, napansin ko sa mga students ko, oks naman mag-gitara but they tend to set-up a horrible tone.

Tone is everything.

The very best players makes you think of someone singing, so imagine, how can you listen to a singer/player if you can't stand his/her tone.

Of course, I don't think anyone can make anything sensible and worth listening to if it weren't for both.
