Tube Amps Are Cheating & Re-Learning Guitar

I am re-discovering guitar after a finger injury, and remembering how old tube amps are such a beautiful cheat code for instantly stunning tone.

This is great! I have a similar guitar. An old Zenta Telecaster. I think it’s from 1972 and it is one of my fav guitars! Pickups sounds so different from everything else. Great sounding amp, great little insight. Love it. My new fav person to follow!

[@vvundertone]

appreciate the kind words my friend! yes something about these old guitars just fill a void in production these days!

[@postmanifesto369]

really love what you do here. please keep it up

[@vvundertone]

thank you! enjoying exploring this medium. looking forward to doing much more

[@nefzimohamed5533]

I just freacking love it.. in the first loop at some point I forgot that I had any problemes in my life, i was not even sure that I exist, it is an experience and I loved it

[@vvundertone]

Aye! That means a lot! Basically best compliment a musician could get

[@offsetsandwich7460]

The cracke of the dirty potentiometers actually added some awesome vibes. This style of solo guitar playing is awesome to see because it is so different from mine. Refreshing.

[@vvundertone]

Glad you liked it! Been trying to learn more about playing lately. I feel like inevitability I always hit some kinda of plateau and need to search more.

Very cool man

[@vvundertone]

appreciate you!

No excuse for injuring yourself. Ever. Stretch before you play or practice. If it hurts- STOP!- and go back at least one step.

[@mattisj.419]

But why are tube amps cheating... i don't quite understand

[@vvundertone]

maybe I should of said "cheat-code" I just mean that they sound so good you don't have to try hard like when recording direct and applying 5+ plugins to try and get some "flavor"

[@complicity99]

damn those scratchy pots through fx sounded tasty af you gotta sample that

[@vvundertone]

you right! i think i shall :)

[@odeo-]

you deserve views. good quality content and editing too. i wasn't sure if you're being ironic about rosewood and maple fretboard tones 😅

[@vvundertone]

TY! Ah yes you never know who's watching 😉

[@efreeze287]

Heck yeah

[@foljs5858]

Neither rosewood nor maple have any effect on the tone. It's all in the strings (gauge, material, flat/round) and the pickups... the rest is myths guitarists and saddly luthiers believe, proven BS

[@dinkaboutit4228]

I get what you're saying, and I agree in principal, but maple fretboards are slippy AF, and the unintentional bends definitely affect my tone.
