Guitars, amps, pedals, cables, strings, etc. are tools that help you say what it is in your music you are trying to say. The bottom line... Sound must live in our hands! In the 90's I heard Eric Clapton play at an AA concert in California and he performed on another guitarist's gear. He just walked up and the bands guitarist handed him his axe and off he went. He sounded fantastic. It looked like a Les Paul type of guitar and who knows what amp. He sounded like Eric Clapton which is to say like everything he has ever played. Where does this come from? Your skin, your finger pressure, your vibrato, your emotions, your heart. Oh yes... and hours and hours of practice! |
