Re: Who's Tone do you prefer ?


Satch and Vai, not sure if it's their tone or what their playing/songs/arrangements do to me.

Re: Who's Tone do you prefer ?


I voted for Lynch and Vai, but my vote would have gone to Vito Bratta if he were on the list.

Re: Who's Tone do you prefer ?


One guy who has always had killer tone is Neal Schon.

Re: Who's Tone do you prefer ?


I voted for John Petrucci who's tone I have reallyliked. I also love Satch's tone. But I'm a metal head and I love Michael Amotts tone from Arch Enemy the most for my style.

SRV for sure. The 13 gauge strings tuned down, and the "woody" single coil squawk cant be beat.

Re: Who's Tone do you prefer ?


I've always been a big satch and Vai fan, but just thinking back to that old G3 concert, ... I'd have to say I really liked Johnson's tone with the Gibson. It was a really warm and full tone that I love. Now, Eric Johnson will never be my favorite guitarist, but I really love that Gibson tone.

Re: Who's Tone do you prefer ?


Johnson, hands down. He's the king of tone, you can't match it.

Honorable mention to SRV, greatest blues guitarist ever aside from Hendrix.

Re: Who's Tone do you prefer ?


I'm biased. LOL! I'm a hard rock and metal lover but have appreciation for many styles. I voted Lynch. "In My Dreams" just works for me, along w/other early stuff.

So many tones to love, too little room to mention.

I like Malmsteen's tone a lot.

Someone mentioned Neal Schon and EVH. Agree on both!

I like Blues a lot too. SRV is up there. BTW, no mention on Gibbons? DOH!

No mention of Al Di Meola? "Race With The Devil" is awesome. Wonder where Petrucci might have gotten an idea or two for Acid Rain? If so Petrucci has great taste!

I'll be marooned on an island around these parts w/this mention. But WTF. I love his tone. Tipton.
