Get the Tone

Try setting up a warm overdrive to play through this month’s scales, sequences and intervallic patterns as it’s one of the best ways to monitor the effectiveness of your muting techniques (any unplayed string noise will often result in dissonant overtones, especially as you ascend to the higher strings). The overdriven sound is also the tone of choice for many modern styles and will lend a more fusion orientated sound to the jazz and rock-based concepts we’ll be studying.
