This one has driving me crazy for a while. IMO its one of the best I've ever heard captured on a recording.

This band is top class everything - however Greg Howe's tone is simply out of this world crazy ......

T.C. Elliott

I still love Hendrix... too many examples to name. And I really like Buddy Guy's tones on the "Slippin' Out"  album.

I'm with T.C. Nothing tops Hendrix for me. And although I love all of his recordings, one that stands out for guitar tone is Band of Gypsys. I just love the tone of his guitar on that album. I think perhaps what makes it unique is the octavia effect he used on it. What a great sound!



"Machine Gun" starts at 4:40. I love that recording, especially the sections that start at 8:20 and 9:07. And the sounds starting at 11:30 are awesome.

+1 on Hendrix.

Gotta love Eddie Van Halen "Unchained" though...

It ain't pretty being easy.

Slightly obscure, but the opening guitar solo on this late 70's Japan track by Rob Dean has the sweetest tone. It was a few years before I started playing guitar, but I've always had this little guitar part as a constant source of inspiration.

It's all over within 40 seconds, so no need to listen to the whole shebang.

Great choices all - suprising the range of tones on display, a very cool listen to all of these.

Doing some research - I stumbled on this.

My brain just exploded - I do not comprehend. What's the deal with the hair band at 2:32 as well?

I'm not worthy!

The melody which comes in at 0:51 seconds is the tone I've been chasing for nearly 30 years. This is such a touching song, too. Gary singing about his pal, Phil.

Then the melody kicks in at 5:45 & I've got goose bumps!

Sounds like I'm being deliberately contrary for the sake of it, but to me you struggle to beat the sound of a good telecaster and an overdriven AC30. And for me Robyn Hitchcock's is as good as it gets. I'm a simple lo-fi sort of guy.

It sounds fucking amazing.
