"Best guitar sound" is fairly dependent on the type and/or style of music being played |

Location: Texas | IMO, THIS has always been hard to beat...on several levels... :eek: And check out her ripping it finger picking and flat. WOOF!
I saw them a while ago and she was playing Gibson or Martin...lacked the punch, although Nancy hasn't lost a thing. |

I'm not clever enough to come up with something like that but I am smart enough to repeat it.
My latest theft is:
Write a good song and you wont need to worry about what you record it with. Write a bad song and it wont matter what you record it with. |

Location: Seacoast NH | This thread reminds me of a funny story I heard about Clarence Clemons when he passed away a few months ago...
He was recording in London or somewhere and another sax player asked him "Why can't I get the same sound as you? I have the same sax, same reed, playing the same notes?" Clarence looked him over and said "You ain't wearin the right clothes Man." :D |

Location: San Francisco, CA | I should also add that I think Nancy Wilson's acoustic opening on Heart's recording of "Crazy On You" is about as good as it gets for acoustic tone.
I read an interview with her where she said she did that recording with a '70's Guild D-40. She also said the action on that guitar was so high it was almost unplayable, but that was what was in the studio and so she went with it. |
