Hi,

I'm looking to achieve this guitar sound:

Complete with band
Guitar only

I have a Les Paul copy and a Vox AD30 amp, what I'm doing now is dial in the Tweed 4x10 model (Fender Bassman, supposedly), and on my guitar I use the bridge pickup with volume and tone maxed out, and I pick close to the bridge. The picking gives a bit of a thin tone though, not the fat tone from the sample...

It sounds like it's a certain way of picking or playing, how do I do this? Any tips, suggestions, tricks?

Thanks,
Stan :)
 
That ain't a guitar. Sounds like midi/keys to me. But if I wanted anything even close to that tone, I'd be using the neck pick up.
 
I agree, it sounds like a fake guitar, or maybe a Variax or something. Really has that under-the-saddle peizo kind of attack about it, that's what makes me think Variax.
 
Those bends are keyboard if I've EVER heard one.
 
Well, to be honest, yes, it is my keyboard, but I'm sure I've heard a guitarist I know do this sound, or something that's very similar...this country-like sound, how do you get it, or how do you get close to it? The samples were just to illustrate the sound, I should have known you guitar-guys in here would freak out on hearing a fake guitar ;)

Anyway, thans for and upcoming advise, if any. Thanks.
 
For that squeaky clean countryish kind of sound, as far as I know the best way to achieve it is to plug a Telectaster into a Fender Twin, dial in some reverb, and maybe a bit of compression to keep it even.

Then go drink some beer and be sure not to write a single tune of your own. You know, like a country star!
 
That sounds like PowerTabs. (midi tab program)

Country is and always will be a Tele into either a TwinReverb for pure clean or a DeluxReverb for a hint of grit.

That MIDI sound though doesn't come from Tennessee.
 
Its almost got a surf feel to it as well, which would need a little delay and maybe a little comp too. Definitely a Tele.
