@@deaddoomed2380 In the hands of a player that has no finesse, no feel, then I agree, the differences are insignificant. But in the hands of a player like Jared James Nichols, or SRV, Chris Buck, the tone lives in the tiny nuances.

@@stevenpipes1555 I work with audio dude and have build guitars, that's just mystic gibberish. One thing is playing dynamics and another thing is tone.

Tone is located exactly at 329 hertz, just 20 hertz away from where the "Glue" lives. theyre practically neighbours. so boost 25 db at 339 hertz and you get tons of tone and glue, which translates to a stellar mix.

Forreal. In acoustic guitars it matters because that's the only way to achieve a different tone unless its acoustic/electric. For electric it becomes more of a weight/aesthetic related thing. But since guitar companies know guitar players are gullible af they run with it. I would to. Lol.

I have turned a $50 Tascam DR-05 on and sat it on my lap to record a quick idea on a $100 3/4 Yamaha acoustic, and ended up being more blown away by the playback tone than the idea😅. I just heard Buzz Osbourne repeat the golfer's quote "the more I practice, the luckier I get". Practice! Your fingers are part of your personality. They repeat stories like you, they laugh like you and cry like you. Sure, you can get a new hair style or upgrade your wardrobe and lean into your new look, but you'll still be you staring back at yourself in the mirror at 1am. Lean into THAT.
Just figured I'd shout out Jim Lill's video about this exact topic, where he goes to extraordinary lengths to isolate and exclude different variables. He does not conclude that it's all in the fingers.
likely one of the most honest things I've ever heard on a YTube guitar channel
No, expression is in the fingers on the strings. Tone is the interplay between the guitar and a loud amplifier. It's also how you adjust the knobs on the guitar. Amp settings have a lot to do with it, too.
Thats right! My playstyle even brings heavy distortion to the party without any gear.
Thank you that is so true 👏👏👏💯💯💯💯
From Glasgow: Well said, wee Tyler. 🍀🎸🍀
Love this video... wish you'd got a massive chord with all the pedals on at once
I'm right there with ya
That's the way to tell 'em!!
Imagine Zakk playing Black Label riffs on a jazz box with no pedals and plugged into one of those super early Gibson 5-watt combo amp thingys. One of the ones that couldn't distort even if you tried. Now imagine Robert Johnson playing "Me And The Devil Blues" on Dave Mustaine's entire rig. Gear absolutely matters. But only to a certain point. Give Zakk any guitar plugged into any metal amp, and you'll get Zakk tone all day every day and thrice on Sunday.
Powerful message tbh

I believe tone is more in your picking hand / pot settings and pickup height on your guitar. The pressure , the attack hit on the strings and how the strings vibrate. I'm my personal opinion

Tone comes from the pressure you exert on the strings between the frets. And the efficiency with which control note duration.
SMG actually proved that the biggest factor in difference in tone is the speaker that you have in your Cabs/Combo amps😅
I was playing Master Of Puppets Hetfield solo in my 300$ strat.Then a friend of mine come over to my place bringed his Gibson Les Paul. I played the Hetfield solo and it was nearly the same as the studio record. So the tone is not 100% in fingers. While you playing a 2000$ and with many effects and amps, you cant say that tone is on the fingers.
