Members companyman Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 I have been exploring it, and it is amazing the range of tones to be had there. I have seen that Keef does it all the time in live footage, my new guitar is a Les Paul jr. DC type and the shape just begs for playing there I think.

Members Dr.Picklebottom Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 theres also a large amount of tonal differences just from picking different places over the body/ pickups. cant really distinguish much with a lot of gain, though.

Members companyman Posted April 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 true, my Firebird had 3 pickups, and I loved the range of tones with that setup, I sort of never really played much over the fretboard, for whatever reason, but I find that I like how the bridge pickup sounds now that I tried playing there. I normally never play with the bridge pickup, more of a middle and neck position guy, but there is depth to the bridge pickup when playing above the fretboard.

Members jonny guitar Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 Watch Eric Johnson play the softer stuff....he is all over the fretboard with his picking hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's only to compensate for when the shoehorn holding up the MXR rack delay on his board won't balance correctly. Tone is only in the fingers when the shoehorn won't do the job.

Members erksin Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 I do that all the time when playing my Esquire - I can get some pretty cool faux lap steel type sounds picking up there, and rolling back the Tone control can get me some decent fat tones that you'd think were a neck pup. Keef knows what's up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nightraven Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 pick the string at the spot exactly 12 frets above the note being fretted ... blows your mind weird how people spend $1000 to get ever so slightly closer to the dream tone in their head when they could just pick slightly different or use a different kind of pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ryan. Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 i like playing slowly from right up next to the bridge towards the pick ups as an intro for a song... its like a progression from a banjo to guitar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ambient Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 The easiest way to change your tone without touching any knobs or switches is to simply change your picking position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members companyman Posted April 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 funny, I am very aware of it, and move around my picking spot on acoustic, just getting it on electric. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BHz_econo Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 try changing your pick stroke. Scrape the strings at an angle, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
