As a guitar player, we often struggle trying to achieve a certain guitar tone or even just getting a guitar sound that we love.
It’s easy to become frustrated with trying to find the perfect sound, and never quite getting there. And obviously buying new gear can be expensive, especially when you're not sure if it will make a difference.
In this video I’m detailing 11 ways to improve your guitar tone without spending any money. I'll be sharing 11 tips on how to improve your guitar tone, including techniques for better playing and tips for getting the most out of your existing gear. These tips will help you make the most of what you've got, no need to buy anything unless you just want to ;)
We'll be covering two main areas: technique and tone. Why technique? Because this: I'm sure you've heard "tone is in the hands" or some version of that, and what that actually means is that technique plays a massive role in guitar tone. Understanding that, we’ll dive into some easy techniques that can help you improve your guitar playing, which will ultimately make you sound better. We’ll also discuss the importance of practicing regularly and playing in the pocket to create a tighter sound.
Then, we'll move on to tone talk. From using the right amount of gain, or not over-using various effects (unless the song calls for it) to understanding the importance of the midrange, these tips will help you get the most out of your gear. We'll also discuss the role of EQ and how to use it to shape your tone, as well as the importance of not over-compressing your guitar tone (again, unless the song calls for it).
It's important to understand that there are caveats or exceptions to the rule for a lot of the "rules" that surround guitar effects and their use, so please don't take these tips as absolutes but more as 'general' advice.
