I love this guy. His earlier videos on guitar tone are also awesome, and humbling.

It was engineered and played back on stereo's, headphones etc ?
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

This. Obviously. Or maybe a bad monkey. They all sound the same anyway.

I agree to a certain point.
If it was all about recorded sound, everyone would be digital.
If it was all about in the room, everyone would be big amps.

I was drawn to guitar by schenker playing a wall of marshalls. They were mic'd but I was hanging on the front of the stage where I could hear them - or probably one of them ;)

The sound in the room isn't just about sound, its about the feeling of being hit by a big fuck off wave of sound.

So, this is why I have plugins, a modeller and amps. Theres no mystery, it's relatively cheap to cover all bases nowadays.

That guy must be ok, I reached 6:30 before turning off.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
