Get The Tone

The examples on this month’s CD were recorded with a 1973 Fender Strat, but any Stratocaster or S- type derivative will do. All of the effects and amp-tone combinations are listed in the notation, alongside the relevant examples, and the two-bar drum break will allow you time to change settings as you go. The ideas in this article can of course be played on any type of guitar, but the most authentic results will undoubtedly come from an instrument with the Stratocaster’s key attributes.
