There was a thread going where the discussion centered on pickups and how much they influenced the sound. I made two comments, both of them about how much impact pickups alone have...
I thought my decades of playing and owning damn near every guitar/amp comination under the sun had some how put me in a category of being some kond of shaman of sound...
And then sitting here I stumbled upon a concert of killer musicians in a showcase of Greg Allmans music, called "All my friends".
Jack Pearson
I know who he is, listened to his licks many times over the years, and here he is absolutely nailing a killer tone I would have sworn came out of a Les Paul into a Marshall...
Not even close..he was playing a fender squier strat!!!! Next is, its pushin a YAMAHA amp! WTF????
I learned a powerful lesson. Everything in the chain has an impact on tone, but he proved, at least to me, it' not about the wood, the type of finish, how vintage your pickups and amp are..
It's in your fingers.
Catch this concert, killer players galore, and tell me Greg Allman isnt one of the greatest singer songwriters to ever walk this earth.
