Tone Matters

I thought I take a moment to scribe some thoughts about music, my true passion. I've recently been listening to Gavid Gilmour's last release "On and Island" (if you don't have this one and are a fan of Floyd, this is an excellent disc and you should get it). Anway, as guitarist (check out some of my work here) I've always been pretty particular about guitar tone--mine and others and Gilmour's rates up there with one of the best tones (to my easrs) out there. There are a couple of tracks on this disc in particular where David's tone is just awesome...one of which is a song called "The Blue." The slide work and liquidity of both his phrasing and tone really exemplify the song's theme and demonstrate just how critical guitar tone is to the composition. I've done some research on David's tone and find Gilmourish.com to be a great source for setting up your rig to replicate his tone...of course you'll need to be able to play well too. Happy Jamming!
