Hesusmaryosep! nabuhay ulit to.

sa mga fingerstyle at calssical guitarists, tone really is in the right hand. syempre pag music na kailangan ang gear talaga,ibang usapan na yun.. yung pedal na ang nagcocomand ng magiging tone mo pag ganun.

Oh no... Nat agen...

....granting that you have good guitar skills already.

....you would sound awesome with awesome gear.

...so for me......build up your chops first then invest in good gear.

.... or good gear can also inspire you to build up your chops.

this here is plausible. in my opinion it's actually both. kailangan sabay silang dalawa ma-develop to acquire a really good tone!

Getting good tone depends on how you tickle the clitoris.

Tone tone. Kalokohan lang yan 

[badongrodrigs]

wow classic thread! hehe

a guitarist who plays well and has good gear will sound awesome. but, replace his awesome gear with crappy ones and then you'll get an OK sound with good playing.

a guitarist who has good gear but but sucks at playing will NOT sound awesome. moreover, replace his awesome gear with crappy ones and then you'll get a walk-out. HAHA

in a similar perspective, Yngwie will sound like Yngwie even if he doesn't play a strat;

Satriani will STILL sound like Satriani even if he played uber crappy gear. here's proof.

wala naman sigurong professional classical guitarist na gagamit ng pangit na classical guitar.

hindi naman siguro papayag si pat metheny na mag-concert tour using ung mga crappy gitara sa raon.

but tone is totally in the fingers! puwera na lang kung sobrang lakas ng distortion mo! wala ka ng maririnig na nuance ng picking dun eh o sangkatutak na effects ang gamit mo!

do you cover this in your counselling sessions eh psychic sushi?

Man, this is an old thread I did when I was still a newbie here, and done when these "topics" weren't so hackneyed. Threads like these nowadays, in most music forums every where else are shot down immediately.

It's pretty stupid that someone had to come up and revive it. Honestly, whoever did must've had knowledge of its existence or scanned my posts or something... I wont comment further, let a newbie act dumb so he may wisen up by the time he becomes a philmusicus addictus...

As for covering this topic in my sessions... the answer is NO.

In a nutshell, what I teach in the sessions is music, and improvisation in light of  the elements of it, and the joys of composing on-the-fly.  Your tone will follow when your skills are solid. Thats a given.

huh! wonder why this thread lived so long. it's locked now, and will be blasted to atoms in a while.
