vomer Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 a Strat is never going to sound like Wes Montgomery. That's my second musical coincidence of the day. I'm listening to Wes Montgomery now. Earlier today I was emailing someone and a song with their name as the title came on the radio. And I don't think anyone in this thread has mentioned the video of Stevie Ray Vaughan playing an Epiphone and sounding like himself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crust Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Here he is playing a Riviera. Not the best picture mind you. Man, I think that's a great picture....I saw him play once, for about 45 minutes..Played some Hendrix...Opened for Robert Plant. Didn't play the Riviera though...#1 at that show. Astounding to say the least. A Riviera that sounds like a Strat...interesting. I do believe he could make any guitar "sound like SRV" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe he could make any guitar "sound like SRV" My favorite blues guitarist. Man I wish I had been able to see him play before he passed away. Just listening to him gives me goose bumps. His brother is pretty good, but not at the level as Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crust Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 or the dbl neck Dano........... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEb4twK5CIE He really inspired me. I've been fortunate to see many of the great rock bands perform. I can say that seeing him perform, although not a very long performance, was unforgettable.

capmaster Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Electric guitar sounds come down to these things: 1)Guitar scale length 2)guitar pickups 3)Guitar pots,caps 4)Guitar amp ( tube/solid state, what kind of tubes, caps and transformers,preamp(s). 5)Speaker, cab size,open/closed 6)effect pedals 7)Strings (type, gauge) 8)picks(gauge,materials),fingers 9) this is one of the biggest missed items in the sound we hear from (insert artist name)... The sound board and producer, effects. This is afterall the sound we hear on the recording and the biggest influence in the final sound. We really have no idea what (insert artists name) rig really sounds like, only the producers version. 10)guitar cable 11)Mic(type,placement),direct 12)Room size,shape,materials 13)Not to be missed, the players hands and approach to the instrument. I will sound different than you on the exact same guitar/rig. I probably have missed a few things, but you get the idea, my .02cents on sound Got the idea but the order had to be a different one, compliant to the signal chain: player, pick if applicable, strings, scale length...
