New Article: 10 Ways To Improve Your Tone!

Hey Guitarists!

I wanted to write a little article about some of the things I've learned about guitar tone from some of my friends and heroes over the years... Every time we've gone on tour with another band, or gone into the studio, I've had the opportunity to watch and learn from the people around me, and I've adopted some habits that I think have made a big difference in my tone.

Some of this information is really basic, and some is more advanced.... All of it is just a set of general guidelines. Remember, there are no rules here! Some of the best guitarists are people that have broken from traditional methods, so don't be afraid to experiment, and see what you like!

10 Ways To Improve Your Guitar Tone!

1. Style and Gear Choice
2. String Gauges.
3. Gain (Overdrive, Distortion)
4. Drop-Tunings
5. Tuning, Intonation, & Setup
6. Watch that G-String
7. Clean Signal Path
8. Keep It Simple Stupid
9. Mr. Speaker
10. The Understated Kings of Rock
