[Christopher Caruana]

If you pick just one guitar player (alive or dead) and have their tone, who would it be?

Rules:

1. Pick only one person

2. It cant be EVH

Sonny Landreth's Milky Way Home. So supremely saturated, but not too much so as to lose any clarity.

I just want to be myself and the best I can be.

But in terms of tone, Eric Johnson seems to be able to do many of the tones I love: everyone from Wes Montgomery to Eric Clapton to Jimi Hendrix and everyone in between.

There are no modern players who's tone I admire like I do the guys I mentioned.

Keith Richard's live tone when he plays his black 355's. It's the sound that first made me wanna be a guitarist.

Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" tone.
