Why Sound Matters

I just watched the movie " Birth of the Cool '' on Netflix. It's the story of Miles Davis and how influential he was in the world of music. I was always a fan of the musical approach of Miles Davis because he never stopped his development in creativity and music. There was this one scene where they talked about the moment where he started to use the bell with his horn and created the sound which we all know by Miles. There was a festival where a lot of representatives of Columbia Records were sitting in the audience - and he got signed. It was the sound and the vibe of the sound which brought the notes so much to a bigger audience and made jazz so popular. In fact this is a good example why sound matters so much. There are many other examples like Carlos Santana, Gary Moore, Marc Knopfer, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, BB King and many others who show that the sound which a musician creates with the instrument is like a trademark. Well I can not compare with these big names of course but I also made my own thoughts on sound and how I want my guitar to sound and I had a vision of my personal sound on Sept. 22 and so I started the journey with testing, practicing, exploring and researching. I wanted that my guitar sound would work in a way like a classical soprano or a great soul singer would sound by having all these nuances which make this tremendous emotional impact which such vocalists can have. For me it's a combination of playing technique, effects, amp settings and the guitar which can transport these nuances of sound. I think now I have found my own sound and my new musical journey can start.
