You've Unlocked "Your Own Tone"

Post by lll »

What next :?: What the fuck do you do :?:

Is it the end of the line?

Is it time to write that shitty original that nobody will listen to and will be forgotten in a single day?

Is it time to sell all your gear on Reverb or eBay at a steep discount?

Is it time to admit yourself into the local Senior Living Retirement Community?

Is it time to spend all of your time on internet gear forums comparing your tiny e-peen to the other tiny e-peens?

For the record, EVH never found his own tone; just like many other famous players.

Tone chasing is a lifetime thing.

Also for the record, none of these online schlubs who cry, "get your own tone!" have produced evidence that they themselves came up with a unique and distinctive guitar tone in the annals of guitar tone that they can claim as their "own". :lol:

I mean, that statement is pure unadulterated bullshit. Most of them don't even know tone to begin with. :roll:

And those that are left are mostly fucking poseurs.

"Clips or you're full of shit!" and "No clips? Then shut the fuck up and listen!" should be the #1 Rule for all Gear Forums.

Honestly, those sites are fucking pointless unless you're there to post clips and troll them about not being able to play for shit.

For what it's worth, I've started using the "early VH tone" that I've finally nailed for all my rhythm guitar parts when I record.

It isn't "my" tone, but it is a hell of a tone for rhythm guitar tracks :!:

That's why we do what we do.

Learning famous tones in detail only makes you more knowledgeable; which you can apply to your own shit.

Not only do you have to learn the guitar gear, but eventually you have to learn a completely new skill: the studio (and all it encompasses).

(I mean, that is unless one only wants to put up clips that were recorded on an iphone chucked on the floor...)
