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

[rocketman]

We've done this before but we've got enough new members to ask again. Here are mine. Clean: Billy Gibbons playing the beginning of La Grange.

Dirty: SRV playing Voodoo Child.

Clean, Robby Krieger's tone of you're lost little girl, especially the solo.

 

 

Dirty, pretty much everything by Chris Poland.

[Riffster]

I love Ritchie Blackmore's tone all around, clean and overdriven.

For super raunchy tones I like the slide work of George Thoroughgood with P90's and semi-hollow.

Dirty: tie for Brian May & Randy Roads(odd match up I know).

Clean: Hendrix & SVR

[Shnate McDuanus]

Clean is easily Alex Lifeson on "Show Don't Tell":

 

 

Dirty has to be Eric Daniels on "Mutilating Process":

 

 

So crushing.

[Silenced Fred]

Clean? especially the solo

 

 

Dirty? listen to the intro

 

[milod]

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...

Clean-One Rainy Wish & Little Wing by Jimi

Dirty-Spanish Castle Magic & Voodoo Child (slight return) by Jimi

[damian]

Clean tone; Bluesguitar65, any song....

 

Dirty tone; Sinner13, any song..............

[ShredAstaire]

For me there is no way i could choose a fav tone. I like the tone that fits the song...which happens an awful lot...

[Sinner 13]

Clean tone; Bluesguitar65, any song....

 

Dirty tone; Sinner13, any song..............

 

Thank you

 

As for my picks,

 

Dirty- J. Mascis

 

Clean- Lindsay Buckingham

[charlie brown]

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.)

Some of your posts are a good reminder why you get suspended on a monthly basis..........Perhaps it's time again.........

[This_Dying_Soul]

Dirty - Santana, Brian May, Randy Rhoads, SRV

 

clean - Hendrix, SRV, John Fruschiante, Mark Knoppler, Eric Johnson

 

I would also like to add Steve Morse to both categries. That guy is a master of tone.

[This_Dying_Soul]

forgot to add to the Dirty tones list - Angus and Malcom Young.

[krock]

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
