 Blind guitarist talks about dialing in tone on an amp Jay Pilkington is a buddy of mine. Awesome player and certified tone monster. He's been totally blind since he was 15, and as a result has some really great ears. He has some good words of wisdom here about dialing in tone on amps. YouTube - The blind truth about tone/ guitar amps Also, Jay is one of the friendliest and kindest people you will ever meet. He's had a tough road - really tough. I know it would encourage him to hear some good comments on his video if you feel led to do so - to know that he's helping folks out there in guitar land. This is his first video - he has a lot of great ideas he's going to be sharing on YouTube. Thanks guys!

| He talks a lot of sense. You ought to post this youtube link on the Gear Page - it'd drive a lot of the Dumble fanatics nuts! Can one ask what amp he was using....??? Not going to dash out and buy one, I'm happy with my cleaner sound, but interested to know. |

| Some good thoughts there on tone knobs. A follow up lesson with real time tone twisting examples would make for a nice bit of video praxis. |

| Wow! I might have to get back to playing electric again after that sensible and inspiring video. I've tried to chase great tone by throwing buck after buck at great boutique amps while not progressing much as a player. I've mostly been playing acoustic for the last few years even with my electric Sadowsky archtop and now with a great new Bourgeois flat top as I wade into this world of jazz guitar. A great clean sound is what I'm really after but admit that violin like overdriven tone that the guy in the video still haunts me as something I've looked for sometimes obsessively. It helps to be able to play like that no doubt. |
