How to get smooth lead tone?

How to get smooth lead tone?

I’ve been known to hit that Bb over the F chord. I wouldn’t consider it a key change since it’s just F major over an F major chord, which is diatonic to C. I dunno, I’m also ignorant to all the...

Yeah, makes sense ascending or decending. Very similar vibe to biiidim and its and inversion of biii too. If we wanted to get technical/tangential for a sec, typically Dim chord functions are chosen...

Yep, pedal and tube amp will get you there! OP - welcome to the Forum! You can spend hours over at TheGearPage sifting through threads on amps/pedals for this tone, so lots of options (too...

Thanks for your suggestions. It seems to me that the Gibson ES 125TC I sold some time ago is the best option. Now they're too expensive. Time will tell.

Lastly, but not least, here's an interesting solo version by the man himself. It doesn't bear much resemblance to the tune as it now is but it's probably worth posting. ...

Tonicizing the ii, so not dorian. If you want to keep the voices moving when harmonizing the 6th degree I've found an aux dim works and sounds nice as it keeps the dim sonority (vi dim7). 6th...
