[@AlexKrendor]

Me, being a metal guy playing with actual distortion listening to his "distorted" tone: "OK, why is he using clean if he likes.. oh, I can hear it, it's there.. kinda.."

[@tylerbeaumont]

As a massive grunge and punk head, I had the same exact reaction. Distortion is stuff like Nirvana and Black Sabbath, not just turning the gain nob on your amp up a bit lol Even some early Beatles tracks were more distorted than this ffs!

[@DoktrDub]

It’s a solid distorted tone.. just not high gain distortion.

[@DoktrDub]

@@tylerbeaumont nope, it’s a solid distortion sound, didn’t you learn what that means? all distortions are different in gain and sound, are you really trying to gatekeep this subject now? If that’s the case no wonder the guitar and rock community went down the sh*tter!

imo distorted is nearly always gonna be better for solo except if its a specific genre that doesnt have much distortion like country but clean tons have so much more opportunity and ideas for making riffs and intros

[@samuelmartin8650]

What about Mark Knopfler? One of my favorite guitarists and plays clean strat solos without pick

[@sheesh7719]

It's an eye opener if you think about it the other way round.

[@sirgallabad]

@@samuelmartin8650 Mark Knopfler also uses a heavily distorted tone quite a bit though xD

[@samuelmartin8650]

@@sirgallabad He did have a bit of a distorted edge from time to time (“Money For Nothing”, “Heavy Fuel”), but Knopfler is well known for his clean strat sounds

[@MattMcConaha]

Sounds like something you'd say if you only really listen to music that heavily features distorted guitar. I listen to a good deal of instrumental music with fairly clean guitar tones.

[@lifeunderthestarstv]

I like clean tone = I like HEAVY reverb.

I'm guessing that you have a clean solid-state amp that's not designed to distort.

i like bassy guitar tones that connect and support the bass back. theyre something you dont hear a lot on the internet. its so much more fun to play with those guitarists, man.

Been pretty impressed with your clean playing and sounds lately. Even the crazy train solo sounded good. Is your approach to clean sounds of your own design or have you been taking inspiration from certain players lately

you can see he likes clean tones, because for his “distorted” tone he used a teeny tiny bit of overdrive and single coil pickups 💀💀💀💀💀😦

[@rayres1074]

Having a college in music is very useful for composition and this short tells it. Everything you play sounds so well crafted it triggers me

[@Trahzy]

Music college is a scam lmao. Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Yngwie Malmsteen, Greg Howe and Vinnie Moore (plus tons of others) prove that. The stuff in this video is extremely basic, not even being a hater some of it sounds great, but it's true. Watch the old video of Vinnie Moore improvising, he didn't go to college and that is improvisation for f sakes, a backing track makes mediocre playing sound a lot better to the untrained ear.

[@rayres1074]

@@Trahzy Wait, so you are telling me... people who invest a lot of time in their craft can get good even without formal education? Who would fucking guess! Here's another hot take: if you have formal education, you can get good too! Which is the whole point of my comment. Where did I state you can ONLY get good through music college? What I said is that having music college REALLY improves one's composition abilities.
