Hey guys what do you think is the best guitar tones that you've ever heard? I thought it might be quite interesting to see what people think. I'd also like to check out the gear that these guitarists use as i'd like to try and recreate some sounds using my PODxt just so that i can get better at using it smile.gif.

Lead Tones
--------------
Eric Johnson
Eddie Van Halen
Gary Moore

Rhythm/Riffs Tones
-----------------------
James Hetfield
John Petrucci
Mikael Akerfeldt


Those are my 3 for each. Was actually very hard to restrict myself to just 3 but i thought it'd be pointless in filling everyone that i liked because some i like more than others tongue.gif

The best guitar tone I have ever heard was when I saw Black Sabbath live, Tony Iommi's riffs were even more crushing in person tongue.gif

Timmons i've not really heard much of, hook me up with youtube? =]. And Yeah Vai's is good, he would be in my top 5 for sure.

As for Iommi's tone, well it would have to be good live because it can't get any worse on record tongue.gif I still like Sabbath though don't get me wrong i guess its because its old

Yep, Eric Johnson has to be one of the best tones ever.

Just check the first 60 seconds of this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKNO4khkT4k

And Also for blues, SRV is famous for his great "Glassy" tone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDBIbJKjAZQ

Start by playing something - a bend, a riff, a scale, a song - very slowly; if you make a mistake, start over; do this over and over, until you can play it flawlessly - and I do mean flawlessly - many times in a row. Next, gradually increase the tempo. Eventually you'll be flailing like a madman.

Other than Iommi live I would go with Dave Mustaine, Lian Gerbino (GMC Instructor, some great tones!), Mark Morton, Alex Lifeson and Uli Jon Roth

Hm, that's a hard question smile.gif

May I ask what do you understand by tone ? For me that it's bending/vibrato/picking dynamics, basically everything that comes out of your fingers.
Sound for me is much treble/bass/mids etc.

Talking about picking dynamics, definitely Paul Gilbert. Bending and vibrato, hm there are so much good ones, but my favourites are John Petrucci, Marcus Lavendell, Michael Romeo, Dimebag Darrell and some more.
