Get The Tone

As none of the featured artists are guitarists, you can use any sound you feel is appropriate for this month’s examples – I’ve gone for a variety of tones for the audio. For a good classic jazz sound, use the guitar’s neck pickup with the tone control rolled off to around 3 or 4 (or take the treble down on the amp), and set up a warm clean tone on your amp. Thick strings work better, as does a hollowbody guitar, but neither is essential.
