So i recently found this guy, and i'm in love with his tone and this is just the kind of music that i really enjoy playing, but i'm a little confused about his tone.
Cause it like screams alot if you can call it that, but i'm not sure if that is just how his tone is, or if he is doing alot of pinch harmonics ? Cause at the same time i think it sounds more like a half pinch harmonic, it's not just a note, but it is not a full screaming pinch harmonic and it just adds so much to the song. So can you guys clarify for me what is actually going on ? cause, atleast with my skills i can only make either a full screaming pinch harmonic or just a note with nothing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EP8EuvWgCko |

Great tone for sure.
And +1 to Mertay's assessment. The only thing I notice that I think may be a bit of recording 'trickery' is that the faster (Holdsworthesque) lines seem to have more gain and compression on them. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Nice! I can hear some Petrucci in his phrasing. I think that you can get this tone with different amp emulators, like the one that Todd and Mertay recommended.
However, there are also two important things that made the tone: The guitarist's technique and that amazing guitar. Darius Wave (GMC Instructor) gets similar tones using free vsts, and he shares his settings for each lesson. Check it out: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Ballad...ics-phrasing-2/ And if you like that type of phrasing, I think that you'll also enjoy Piotr's Guitar Love Piano series. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/guitar_loves_piano/ -------------------- My lessons

So i tried some more and i think i can kind of get a hint of what i'm searching, but just wanted to share this with you just so you have some actual sound to go from. I will still look at the links you guys kindly gave, my work times just sucks this week so it will have to wait until the weekend until i can try it out
don't mind the mistakes and sloppiness, i only just kinda learned that little bit to try and show you what kind of sound i got right now. Also, it was not a try at some odd handsign, but a 9 as in it was the 9th time i tried to record it cause i kept fucking it up, mainly cause i forgot where the next note was Also, notice the beautiful B string vibrato right over the edge of the fretboard as a strong finish on the last note xD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOmFZoN1hHY...eature=youtu.be Can't figure out how to make the video show here and not just as a link.

Your tone is very good here Using BIAS from the sound of it? Bias is great. The only thing is you may have a pinch too much gain for getting the tone that is in the original video. Hes barely got any gain on many of the passages and is using pick pressure to increase the signal and activate more gain. It's possible to just pick harder and drive the gain a bit more then pick lighter and get less gain. This gives a very dynamic tone which is what I think your going for. The tone is your video is good but it's much less dynamic. It's the same amount of gain the entire time just due to the setting. Try lowering it and for certain passages just strike the strings harder.

As mentioned - back off the gain. Your tone is a 'good' tone but it's not like the vid you posted. You need less gain to get the nuance of the original video.
*Vibrato speed isn't random in it's application. If you listen to the great players (any instrument or voice), you'll notice that the speed of their vibrato is either a multiple or a fraction of the tempo of the song. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

So in short, a bit more treble, a bit less gain,
