jack white, rory gallagher, and joe perry(first album) used to get their sounds. I want to play my favourite songs and have them sound kinda close to the original. so is there like a rig site kind of like ultimate guitar, just search your favourite artist and rip them off for your own enjoyment @ home.
 
There's www.guitargeek.com, which shows you different rigs for different people. Sort of interesting to see how different people use the same equipment differently. A lot of it is in the guitar, amp, and the hands of course too though!

Apparently Rory was doing the treble-booster-into-AC30 well before Brian May.

Jack White: Fender Twin Reverb, some 100-watt 6x10 Silvertone amp, old Airline single-coil guitar, Kay hollow-body guitar, Big Muff Pi, Whammy pedal, EH POG, MXR Micro-Amp.

Just remember that even with the correct gear, you still have to go through a long time of fiddling with all the various knobs and settings to get something even close to what you want..
 
Joe Perry back then? Guitar, cable, amp. Done.

I was lucky enough to see Rory Gallagher quite a few times and met him often before he died.

He always played that Strat he is famous for, you know the one he used to wipe down with his fish and chip paper, seriously I've seen him do it.

His gear was simple. He had a couple of AC30's, one for a backup and a RangeMaster Treble Booster. Thats it. The rest was all in his head and his fingers.

He did use some open G tunings on occasion.

You sure a Tele didn't feature somewhere?

Not as I recall. He was inseperable from his strat, but he may have had one. I never saw him play one right from his days with Taste to his last few months.

Think it was left constantly in an open tuning. Think there was an esquire knocking around too.

Wow there you go. As I said I never saw him use anything but his Strat. One thing I'm sure of his sound was pure Strat and and he was in love with the damn thing. He did use a few open tunings and he could tune in no time at all. Nice guy as well.

Hey muttley, I heard about the fish and chip thing. Plus, apparently the guitar was stolen and left in a ditch for a few days, which also explains the finish.

Yeah, the white Tele was kept in open G (and capoed at the second fret most of the time). That looks like a photo from his Taste gig at the Isle of Wight. He used the Tele mainly for slide - in the film of the Irish Tour, he explains to a clueless interviewer that it has a higher action than his strat, and is therefore better for bottleneck work. He also used a solid body that looked very like a Hagstrom for slide work later on in his career - the Bullfrog Blues guitar.

Not sure about the esquire. :confused:
 
The artwork for the Rory compilation Big Guns centers around:

1961 Fender Stratocaster
1961(?) Gretsch Corvette (there's no date marked, I'm assuming it's 1961)
1931 National Resophonic
1961 Fender Telecaster

All four are pictured on page 3 of the booklet

further in the booklet under "Rory's guitars" are
Gibson Les Paul Junior
Martin D-35
and
Vox AC30
50's tweed Fender twin
Fender Bassman
'59 Fender Concert
Magnatone combo
Marshall 50-watt combo
Ampeg VT-44FX
Hawk treble booster
"uncredited" phase shifter
Fender Rock and Roll Strings(.010, .012, .015, .026, .032, .038)
Herco heavy pick

Damn, now I gotta watch Irish Tour and Isle of Wight....

You on the other hand are taking every opportunity to be an immature annoying little twat. Good luck with that as lifetime ambition.
