Don't really know how my mind wandered to thinking about this, but I've come to a conclusion....
Tone is in the gear. Style is in the fingers.

Didn’t some famous couch say that athletic performance is 90% hard work and 50% God given skill???Tone is 50% speakers, 50% guitar pickup, and 50% ability (chops).
I dropped acid one time, and I thought I heard my couch say, "Oswald didn't shoot anybody."Didn’t some famous couch say that athletic performance is 90% hard work and 50% God given skill???
100%Troll thread total bullshit . I've seen guys with the Sears Silvertone amp in the guitar case setups that could make them sound good . I've always had good gear that sounded like shit because I was a crappy player starting out but had the money and could afford it and I watched guys with a Yamaha Pacifica mop my ass all over the floor . Sorry dude good gear totally helps but if you are a great player you'll sound decent with cheap gear .
tone is where you stand.
No in those scenarios their tone still sounded like garbage to me, but the playing itself was impressive and they get props for that (not the tone). It always amazed me that most can’t seem to distinguish between quality of playing and quality of tone (independent things). Too many guys just seem to hear things as a singular package and miss out I think on some important details to listen forEvery player on the planet has come across the dude in the music store where you in the " you've got to be kidding me mode"!!Pluggedd into some piece of crap but sounded pretty good!!
Now that I think about it, I’m not sure if I ever heard Yngwie or Shawn Lane play a powerchordTone is literally everything that doesn't involve separate individual players and their tendencies.
It's the sound of the gear.
Retards who suck can play power chords just the same as yngwie.
And if you can't tell from a power chord, you aren't talking about "tone" anymore.
