I didn’t even have access to that! I remember watching Metallica VHS tapes in slow motion and pausing to see where their fingers were at on the fingerboard. There sure was a lot more time to kill in the 80s and 90s!
It seems to me no matter what tone you’re going for there is a pristine example available these days.
I was born in 1977 and in my rock ‘n’ roll formable years there were only a couple of iconic tones. Now there are dozens and it’s awesome!
How much further can tones go at this point?
