@@JamesOnGuitar I have boss fuzz - JAM wah - JAM Vibe - Origin Effects Klon - Boss Waza Bluesdriver - Origin Compressor - Flanger. I really recommend you trying the origin compressor - it adds so much sustain and thickness, but retains dynamics with the blend knob.

I definitely concur with the order of fuzz, then vibe, then wah.

Sounds amazing. I disagree with the premise of a tone journey being finite. Even the best musicians will continue to evolve, tweak, innovate, expand, etc. It's never over.

wow... absoluely most amazing strat vibe tone on youtube that i have heard , that masterbuilt strat has some magic goin on ... thx for sharing 🎉

Your playing has come on really nicely man. Sounding great!

Funky as hell! Love it!

Cool video. I'm not even much of an effects guy but these are still so fun to watch. That wah does sound sweet.

Nice work can't wait to hear all of this with the Les Paul too !! Cheers

That’s such a cool vintage sound and your playing really shines through it. I’ve never owned a Wah nor vibe, besides the faux wah of my UA Astra, but this has me wanting… Get well soon. I just got over a bad cold on vacation. Fun…

Amazing playing and tones!

Love your vids Brother. They represent most of us. ✌🏾&💜. -seal.

What a fantastic video have you enjoyed playing guitar James have a good weekend ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

Then one day you wake up and start playing it and it just doesn't sound right all of a sudden... You turn some knobs, you swap one pedal try a different amp... And the whole quest starts again😂

I like the idea of Guitar straight into Amp. Job done. Damn ! As much as I don't want to, it looks like I need to buy some effects pedals. Thanks James. 🤔 £ £ £

Been pretty cool to watch you become very proficient in the style of Hendrix while making it your own thing! Any KZread sources you found especially helpful in your progress?

awesome tones, would love to see the finished pedalboard ;D for me it would be Fuzz >Wah> vibe> od>amp

It's never over.

Man that fuzz + wah combo is THE sound isnt it? I wonder if there are other fuzzes that can get close because $1000 usd for a fuzz pedal is pretty mental.

Good stuff. I think the biggest contributor to your growth as a guitar player has been the time you’ve devoted to improving-obvious, I know. But I also think there’s something to be said for the impact of great gear; I have a cheap Blackstar amp and a Squier that chokes out above the 12th fret, but I never play them because they just don’t sound good. I play the best gear I have because it sounds better.

Strat and a low transparent overdrive, boost, tube screamer style pedal, and a compression pedal. Thats all i would need brotha,, well... a wah too. Lol

I dont no why but i see something floating around your face about 25.40 on the timeline maybe Jimi is checking you out or there some smoke from something 😂 great playing by the way

Hi Great gear...It looked to me on camera anyway that a problem I have had with strats,,both E strings looked like they were hanging off the fretboard higher up...is that how they are???I've played plenty with this problem pulling the low E in...but it drove me crazy//Thanks James ...Dave

i know the exact part of Rainy Day Dream Away that you mean! also the very beginning of Still Raining Still Dreaming has the same wah tone for a bit longer, it sounds like the guitar is talking but i've never figured out exactly what its saying lol

fuzz-Vibe-wha and less reverb on the amp would probably nailed it!

The journey is NEVER over....ever. Don't kid yourself.

Have you ever tried a silver sky? I wouldn't be able to name a single John Mayer song, but I really love my silver sky! I've been looking for my "forever" strat and I know this is it. I've been looking for over a decade. Vintage feel with modern reliability.

⁠@@RealROCKnROLLAEvery guitar can be unique and PRS can have this “sterile” way with people anyway. I have core, WL & Private Stock. I do like them very much but also totally get why many don’t gel with PRS. PRS wiring doesn’t do them any favours in my opinion. I’ve had Matt at Monty’s work on all my PRS’s for 50’s wiring to open up the tone a little and get the guitars output less middy/compressed and get some more texture to the PRS tone. I swear the PRS pickups have more to give than they come out of the factory due to the companies particular wiring techniques. My Lunar Ice Silver Sky was too mid range heavy and to be honest most of the SS’s I have tried never really sounded or vibed like a Fender CS Strat to me. I preferred the maple neck variant of the Silver Sky but ultimately I let go of it as I much preferred the gritty slightly scooped nature of my Fenders. We often like different things and sometimes one guitar can sound like a dog in one persons hands and a marvel to the next. 🤷‍♂️

​@@RealROCKnROLLA Yes, mine is from 23 and you can see it as well. They surprisingly added a capacitor on each pickup. Sounds wonderful. But most of all, it plays wonderful. No string tree needed because of the 3x3 tilt back, but it can still lay flat on the ground. No wobbly tremolo arm, always goes back to pitch perfectly, despite doing a lot of the extreme Hendrix dive bombs. And I love that it's nitro. Feels great and will age more graceful

Until next week

I am curious what is the total cost for guitar and upgrades, effects, cables, and amp? =?

Good sounds, yet Strats bore me to death.
