Determination Tone

This is probably one of the most important thing to see in a guitar. Whether you're playing electric or acoustic, country, rock, blues, or jazz, you must have the appropriate tone with the music genre. You will not want to play the perfect guitar for country music in a heavy metal band. The guitar has a tone that is right for you? Tone includes determining the flow of the music we play, with the tone of your guitar has a distinctive tone to deliver a message to the audience listeners.

Blues

If you play blues, you need a guitar that has a blues tone. That being said, there are some guitars that are suitable for the style: Semi-acoustic electric guitar with a "soap box" humbuckers sound great, like the Fender Stratocaster. Another important thing to achieve is a string blues tone. In the blues, the heavier the string, the better the sound. You can not achieve the proper sound use extra light gauge strings. They will not have the resonance, the lower or middle range of the heavier strings.

Also playing electric guitar blues, your amplifier will make a difference in tone. If you are using vintage amplifiers, tube amp better, you'll see a BIG difference nada.Blues identical to the game despite having likely free style of each game as a guitar player. many things to be found in determining the tone.

Country

Country music needs a brighter tone than the electric guitar. To get a light tone, it is best to use a guitar with single coil pickups. Two of the best guitar for this category is the Fender Stratocaster and Fender Telecaster. Using the Tele, it is easy to enter and play really. In the Beginning, there was a secret that many guitarists do not know that I will share with you.

Many Nashville guitarist called 'Nashville Sound'. Simply put your toggle switch all the way to the bridge pickup. Then start sliding back to the next position to the neck. The bridge between the position and the second position, you will find a sweet spot. The switch will not be locked into place at both the pickup but the sound is awesome. It only takes one minute to find it and when you do, sounds incredible.

Once again, the amplifier plays a big key to the electric guitar sound, too. Many musicians use a Peavey Classic Nashville VT / Series Tube amplifier or newer Peavey Classic. Behringer also make a big amplifier used in country music. Back to issue pickup, single coil once a very important role for the flow needs of this country. Clear sound and comfortable in the ear, you just try to do with your guitar playing on this type of flow, is terrific.

Jazz

For the jazz guitarist, both semi-acoustic electric guitar is almost essential. The pickups on this guitar are usually humbuckers. To tone, a medium size set of string is recommended.

As the amplifier far away, almost every 'natural' sound amplifier will work. My personal recommendation Mesa Boogie or Peavey. They create a good sound. But for any single coil is represented once for jazz guitarists who want to relax jazz style.

Rock

Last but not least, let us look at the rock and roll. Getting the right tone for rock and roll is difficult. Maybe you want a heavy sound standard 6 string can not give you so that you get a 7 string guitar. The best 7 string guitar made by Ibanez. Since conception in the late 80's or early 90's, Ibanez has perfected the tone of the instrument.

If you do not want a 7 string but want the same tone, you can get the same tone of the 6 string using heavy gauge strings. Humbucker pickup guitars have to get a better tone, too. Guitar recommended for this is the Les Paul Gibson and Ibanez. It is for single coil is not suitable to be used for lack of a sound amplifier on, for the present type of flow is still forward rock humbucker pickups ..

For more modern styles of rock 40, the sound will change. To hear the sound of retro in a lot of alternative music now, Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster used. Sometimes, Fender Jaguars to play too. For heavier sound, you'll need a guitar with two humbuckers and probably the best guitar for this Gibson Les Paul and Paul Red Smith.

To get the tone on the amplifier, it is important to have a good tube or solid state amplifier that can model tube amp. Mesa Boogie has a leading edge on the tone of rock music as well as Marshall. Another good amplifier made by Peavey, Crate, Behringer, and Fender.
