I play for like 4 years and I'm kind of unhappy with the overdriven lead-sound of my gear. I really would like to create that overdriven "singing" sound you hear very often in distorted riffs. At the moment I'm playing a litte Satriani and I miss the high peaks of my distortion. Is there a special way to hit the string if you want to get it? I think it would be a great way to pronounce some notes better but I won't get the tone on purpose. Even when I go max-volume with my amp with an extra distortion pedal I only get bad noises at the end. I hope you know what sound I'm looking for. If not I could add some links of lessens where you hear it. My gear: Speaker: 4x12 Stramp Cabinet (not sure of the Watts) Amp: Peavey Classic 30 Head Guitar: Gibson Les Paul Standard 2008 Used Effects: Line 6 - M13 Best greetings from Germany!

And if I get you right. Then hit a string with your pick and right after touch it with your thumb. Pick, thump, in the pick motion. Takes some practice to master. That Peavey only go that far into rock territory. It's a great sounding amp though, teriffic cleans imho. You could always add a distortion pedal to the cleans for more metal-sound.
