I am Keef Richards!

[Aceman]

Keith Richards reportedly owns 3000 guitars, and he once jokingly said, "Give me five minutes and I'll make them all sound the same."

This is exactly me. I CAN make them sound different. But I am just one of those people that hones in on my sound whatever you give me.

[Erlend_G]

should have said "give me five strings..." lol!!

[Securb]

If you think you are Keef the only thing you and Keef have in common is you are high.

[Mincer]

I get this. No matter what guitar I play, even vastly different ones, it becomes just a different shade of my sound. Ideally, music and style transcends the gear.

We are backdooring right into "Tone is in the Fingaz". argument....

I see what Ace did there......

[beaubrummels]

Yeah but he's the same guy that said all JBs are alike.

Maybe when I play them, they are. Because my distinctive styling and finger English makes them do my bidding....

[beaubrummels]

So I guess only some of the tone is in my fingers, because different guitars and pickups still sound a little different when I play them.

[beaubrummels]

Surely this is just cork-sniffing and poor technique.

Aux naturalement, c'est vrais.

Fingers affect tone is true. Tone is in the fingers is false.

Tone IS in the fingers.


That's why I got new Mahogany fingertips with birdseye maple caps.

They have all the latest plugins.

[Aceman]

Well, it may happen to be because most of my guitars are Les Paul/styles, with high output humbuckers, running through a distorted amp.

I mean, that might be part of it too....

Cool story

[JMP/HBE]

If "tone is in your fingers" chop off all your digits, put them in a pile and try to plug that into an amp & see what "tone" you get.

That’s a dumbass thing to say.
