If you’re self conscious about your tone

[Faded Abyss]

Need a little confidence boost about your tone? Watch some of this! I don’t expect anyone to sit though and watch the whole thing but it was a good one to have on in the background while I sort out and fold my socks and underwear. It’s pretty much the same as having YouTube on auto play. Could be considered torture to some. I didn’t see Reza in there though? Hell I probably couldn’t do any better myself.

To lighten things up a little bit, I really like the tones that the Metalheadproductions guy gets (43:00) his tones always stand out as unique.

The tone is between my legs.
I have good days and bad days.
Other than that i dont pay much attention to it and just wing it on the fly

I recognized almost everyone in this video, which means I watch way too much youtube.

Unfortunately, everyone except for like ola and michael nielson in that get tones that I absolutely hate, sonic drive seems like an alright dude but im just so over "guitar youtube"

For sure, Ola is top dawg. I do think sonic drive has good tone and is consistent but also think he has more refined production and does more processing baked into his sound. I suppose he falls into the “can make every amp sound the same” category, which isn’t a bad thing. Just makes it harder to judge gear. I know Ola was running into that but it seems like he found a way to shake things up in recent years.

Michael Nielson probably gets good tone but I have a hard time picking apart traditional rock based tones. It all can tend to sound similar to me. Besides, someone mentioned something about how they can’t watch him because they can’t “unsee” the rocker face he makes while playing (which I never even noticed it before) and now I can’t unsee either. Now, even when the camera doesn’t show his face it’s too much of a brain stain… I know exactly what face he’s making!

I’ve been tired of the YouTube guitar thing for a long time too, but I’m afraid within the next 5-10 years we will look back and wish we could have it back because whatever takes YouTube’s place will probably be Meta Glasses telling to like and subscribe to Metaverse characters and you have to pay money to get a “human verified influencer”
