Hello fellow magicians and madmen! So, the idea here is to mention, one at a time, tips, techniques and toys that have made the biggest impact on your TONE to date. Just a fun way to create a whole heap of inspiration for us all to come draw on whenever we feel the need ?
So, as mentioned already on another thread, my big one was: RELAX. No other lesson has had a bigger impact on intonation, sustain, and most of all confidence. Didn't harm agility either and definitely pumped up the revs far as speed goes. Even playing System Of A Down, if you dig in too hard you are going to break something, get carpal tunnel syndrome, but chill out, ride the groove, and next thing you know you are in pocket and having fun heaving huge chunks of industrial grade audio grinning like a madman (which you are, admit it you Nutter you)
