Darkness

I was hoping this article would get further into the effect our fingers have on the tone. I've noticed that "the greats" - like Page, Gibbons, Iommi, etc - can pick up a random guitar and get their unique tone out of it in short order. I've noticed that no matter what guitar I play, through whatever amp, my tone is always on the dead side. I have a remarkable guitar that makes up for a lot of that, but I'd like to be able to pick up any guitar and get a decent sound.
