Get the Tone

Try a clean tone with compression, chorus and reverb on the chordal examples, and a warm overdriven tone for lead as it’s a great way to monitor your muting techniques (any unplayed strings can often result in dissonant overtones). The overdriven sound is also the tone of choice for many popular contemporary styles. This type of tone will lend a more fusion orientated sound when using jazz-based concepts, and easily integrate with your blues and rock vocabulary.
