Guitar Secrets - Sound Great On Cheap Guitar Equipment

In this tutorial I talked about how to sound great on cheap guitar equipment. This is a question which probably drives most of your electric guitar players in the world.  You only have a limited budget to buy a good guitar amplifier. Maybe you can spend $200 for a guitar amp or even less and you're frustrated because you think you cannot sound great on a cheap guitar amplifier. The difference between cheap and expensive guitar equipment is in many cases the dynamic range. What is the  dynamic range ?  It's the way the tone reacts to your playing technique by going softer or harder in volume or your picking technique or any kind of articulation work on the fretboard.. I have good news for you. In the tutorial I show you how you can work out a technique to sound great on any equipment by using cheap equipment. The main step is to switch off all effects and just have the pure tone of your amplifier and then you start to work out your technique and how to create tone and sound just on your fretboard.If you must have this less than a year then you will be able to sign greater than any equipment you will have and well once you add effects again they will amplify and multiply the greatness of your sound with your learned on just play on cheap equipment.  This tutorial is from the “ must-have “ series,  meaning. It is for all tour players out there on this planet. I had this lesson myself on the very end of my music studies at music University  and it helped me alot to develop my sound to the next level.

Hi Hanspeter, great lesson. It appears to me as if you did this lesson especially for me. I am spending so much time finding the "right" tone on my Katana, instead of practicing more. I have one question: You mentioned pinch harmonics. I have no idea, how to do that. Have you already done a lesson about this technique?

Hey Andreas, yes this is lesson which for sure hits the issue of many players. Glad it works for you. Just try on your current equipment the way I am showing in this tutorial. The pinch harmonic I skipped in this tutorial since it's enough to start this specific journey. But I will do about pinch harmonic in specific in an advanced lesson later. Or you just check YouTube - for sure there is a tutorial which talks about pinch harmonics.
