I cant do them on one of my guitars but on my RG570, which I know has better pick-ups. I can get great range of tone just by using the volume knob. If I turn it all the way down, I get almost this clean/barley overdriven tone, that sounds awesome. I should probably get the electronics looked at though because shouldn't there be no sound when the knob is all the way down? :-) So, is it the guitar, the user, or tone from the amp. I notice the "clicking" noise I like much more with less gain. Thoughts? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

However the X note in tabs which is dead note btw totally has nothing to do with the sound cause you can perform it on any sound, clean, OD, distorted, uber distorted etc. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It's not so expensive to do this, and while you're at it, it may be wise to put some quality pot inside so it doesn't roll off highs when you turn down the volume. About the X, it stands for muted note in most cases, wetter you mute it with the palm of your picking hand, or your fretting hand. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I guess I just like the different dynamics of the dead notes at varying tones. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Of course you can perform dead notes on any settings, gain, clean even with effects (wah-wah! ) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
