Guitar Lessons – Kings of Tone – David Gilmour 1
FULL COURSE, TAB, JAM TRACKS: bit.ly More Guitar Lessons: bit.ly Kings of Tone examines twelve masters of tone revealing their gear and effects formulas (and how you can emulate same with your own gear) along with their singular approaches to “touch” and stylistic phrasing. While our quest is ultimately about finding our own “voice” and signature sound, we must first study the masters, just as they studied those who came before them. Kings of Tone dissects the styles, touch, tones, amps, pedals, guitars and setups of Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Billy Gibbons, Dickey Betts, Duane Allman, The Edge, Angus Young, David Gilmour, Keith Richards and Mark Knophler. Your Professor of Tone is NYC session player and educator Jeff McErlain, whose standing-room-only workshops on the subject testify to his expertise stemming from years of tone exploration. “I hope to demystify the tonal qualities of these twelve players by sharing the insight I’ve gained over many years studying them and deconstructing their styles, touch and rigs.”

@Pleiadesz
Check out Hang up your hang ups by Herbie Hancock, that song is chock full of that poppy funky guitar sound

I currently don’t have a deja-vibe and the closest would be my MXR EVH Phase 90 … will that do at a low setting or would you still recommend a flanger or vibe pedal. Also, in your set up … would you use the Electric Mistress and Deja-Vice together or one only at a time depending on what the tone you want is.
I se a Tonebone Trimode and have the phase 90 dedicated to the line 2 output so it comes on only when the second or my “lead” ’2” channel is activated.
I appreciate your time

@JerseyJenn79 You give them impression that people from New Jersey are greasy dickheads.

He’s wrong about the Deluxe Electric Mistress. Gilmour used an original Electric Mistress not the deluxe version. Theres a huge difference in sound.
November 24, 2011 - 11:44 pm
godamn killer tone
November 24, 2011 - 11:56 pm
@atomikhound you can fix that by adding a noise reducer lol
November 25, 2011 - 12:53 am
Will a phaser pedal work for the uni-vibe cause that what the uni-vibe sounds like.
November 25, 2011 - 1:37 am
thanks for sharing that info man
November 25, 2011 - 2:10 am
dude when he did the run like hell type riff at the end, like i just uncontrollably started dancing.
November 25, 2011 - 2:44 am
i’ve got some 12 pedals and two multieffect boards and with these i can do ANY sound i wish–there are so many parameters to sculpt with, no need for tens of thousands of dollars of custom pedals- Gilmour has them because it’s his profession and professional guys just naturally saturate
November 25, 2011 - 3:10 am
@atomikhound the compressor alongside of the OCD makes it hum more?
November 25, 2011 - 3:20 am
Excellent vid man! Thank you.
November 25, 2011 - 3:52 am
@JerseyJenn79 All I said was my opinion you dumbass. Learn to listen to other people’s opinions and keep those comments to yourself. I am sure that David respects Eric and vice versa. This is what you should do as well. Now YOU shut the fuck up and learn to respect other people’s opinions.

@ejSignStrat please shut your face. what a dumb fucking statement. he made a gilmour video that’s why. some people think jack white is “king of tone”. opinions are like assholes.
