What's your favorite tone (clean and dirty) by artist/song?

Well, I'll show my age... Your computer speakers may make a diff on this too, but...

 

for clean... gotta be somebody like Joe Pass.

 

For "dirty?" It's gotta be the original, the guy whose simple instrumental was banned from a batch of radio stations. This ain't the first recorded version, that was in the '50s! But... it's still a lotta fun. I still have my mid '50s bike jacket... that I'd only wear pickin' a guitar meant for dirt like this one...

Well, for me, there are so many, and too...there's "clean," then there's "overdrive clean."

 

Clean...Les Paul, Chet Atkins, Kenny Burrell, Wes Montgomery, etc.

Overdriven Clean...Mike Bloomfield, Peter Green, BB King, EC, Dickie Betts, Ritchie Blackmore, etc...

 

Overdriven...Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy, EC (again), SRV, etc.

(That's about as "dirty" tone wise, as I really tend to like.)

Clean would be the solo's from either one of these two. However, if it includes acoustic then landslide by fleetwood mac would be up there aswell.

Dirty would be either Link Wray, the father of the distorted tone or ac/d. Oh also John Petrucci when he did G8 with satriani
