“The Quest For Tone (On A Budget)” — Electric Guitar Noodling With A Purpose

Tonal Eclipse Of The Heart: “The Quest For Tone (On A Budget)” — Electric Guitar Noodling With A Purpose

Over the past few years I accumulated a range of inexpensive but beautiful-sounding equipment: a '94 Standard Stratocaster, both Xtomp and Ampero modeling effects pedals from Hotone, and a Fender Champion 20 modeling amp, the latter three of which, as digital modeling hardware containing hundreds of software models emulating vintage analog signal processors, amps, and speaker cabinets, enable the budget guitarist to achieve a range of guitar sounds and timbres previously requiring equipment costing thousands of dollars.

Over time, and in an effort to revive my once-popular GuitaristInProgress Youtube channel, I began occasionally posting videos of my various efforts to wring maximum guitar tone from a setup that cost me, including everything, in total about $800. While I'm pretty far behind in posting, I still update it occasionally.

Here, for you tone aficionados, are what I've posted to date.

This is a playlist from my GuitaristInProgress Youtube channel, just a bunch of old blues tunes I ran through at various points. These are some select ones I like, but if you click that link to go to the channel, there are plenty more.

The Best of GuitaristInProgress — video playlist

If I Do Play So Myself: The Best of GuitaristInProgress — video playlist

These are probably my favorites of the various video performances I posted on the GuitaristInProgress Youtube channel over the years I was active there. There's both kinds of music here — classic rock AND blues! Plus, a few hints of electric guitar and one odd psychedelic spin on my old Wurlitzer organ. If you're only going to watch one of my videos, make it one of these.

If you click that link to go to the channel, there are plenty more, but these are probably the best ones.
