Show me where I can get a better alternate picking tone. Eric Johnson has a really good lead tone as well, same with Mark Knopfler, his solos in Sultans of Swing are so soothing I just want to doze off (in a good way).

Other guys that sounds amazing are for example Yngwie, Santana (in the last years) or Timmons, but those tones are not for me You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

EDIT: >A few others I must add that haven't been mentioned much or yet are Hendrix - who could forget the man who practically started modern day guitar sounds and techniques etc. Yngwie Malmsteen - Flawless, all that needs to be said. John Frusciante - Hendrix inspired him in so many ways, even most of his guitar sounds, amazing guitarist as well! Of course John Petrucci. And one more for now...John 5 - like Buckethead he has many different sounds, very experimental and plays many different styles which results in lots of different tones, and they are good ones also You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Some player's tones variate on albums or songs. I'll give a few albums or songs I like. So, you can get an idea of what "type of tones" I am talking about. A few I really admire are... Eric Johnson - If I could describe his tone in words... I would say something like... "FLAWLESS"! It always makes me feel happy to hear him play "Cliffs of Dover" or "Trademark". Marcus Lavendell - I had to say it! I don't know if it's the backing tracks or the "dreamy" vibrato that gives his tone that unique flavor. But, man I could listen to the "Evening Blues" track for hours! Marty Friedman - Very Versatile player. I tend to like his "cleaner" tones the most. I think his album "Scenes" really shows that off. Jason Becker - Can't list Marty without listing the Beck-Miester . I really like Jason's tone in "Altitudes" off of his album Perpetual Burn. Jason uses a variety of different tones. From Twangy Blues sounding clean to distorted, sinister, and slightly mysterious. Uli Jon Roth - I am really glad someone posted Uli's name earlier! His song "Concerto D'Anranjuez" I heard once... Then listened to it about 50 more times afterwards . Listen to the song and the tone will speak for itself... Paul Gilbert - I do enjoy his thick rock tone. But, I was more intrigued by the pretty piece "Suite Modale" off of his new album. Perhaps, it was just the sustainer in the guitar that really made the whole song "flow". I have a TON more to list and a TON more to say... But, I have a feeling my post may take up too much space. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
