[/quote] Cheers Bilbo, was mesmerised by Marcus's effortless playing last night and this being a signature i thought i'd give the main groove a go. Not going to replicate that tone again though, can't stand it Quote
Bilbo Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Its an interesting point. There are so many great players out there doing incredible things and with great tones but, when you start to look into them to see what you can glean from them, you realise that they are very much centred around the musical personalities and product of the people concerned, be that Miller, Manring, Sheehan or whoever. I have found that the greatest wisdom came from guitarist Mick Goodrick. The trouble with finding your true path is in realising that you are already on it. Each of us already has a 'tone' that is our own and chasing the details of other people's voices is a fool's errand. For better or worse, I have my sound, you have yours. Celebrate that fact by honouring it. Quote
slobluesine Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 so many players get to be so obsessed with their 'sound' that they forget to just play, guitarists seem to be the worst, endless twiddling with different setups, almost OCD Quote
