Guitar GreatsGuitar Coach Special EditionThe sound & style of: Albert LeeAlbert Lee is one of the finest pickers inCountry Music.Twin amps, as they give a good clean sound withplenty of bite.When Albert stormed into the American countryscene back in the 60's he bought his own twist tothe genre; he played with flair and unadulteratedspeed. He always looked happy when he waschickin' pickin' his way through tracks such as'Country Boy' and Hogan Heroes 'Can Your GrandpaRock 'n' Roll like this.He would usually have the bridge and middle pickups selected in order to achieve a good snap. Leewould also use a compressor and somechorus; the chorus specifically would be signatureto his sound as well as adding depth andshimmer to an already super clean tone.Lee's style was very precise and his sense oftiming was second to none, due to his ability to fitlicks and phrases into whatever feel he was playingacross. He influenced many people from Zakk Wyldeto Brent Mason and everyone inbetween!Albert plays music-man guitars with a strat-stylepickup configuration and puts those into FenderTabMr Albert was a fantastic hybrid picker (pick & fingers) and used it in everything he did. What thisgives is a 'clucking' sound and allows easier movement over the fretboard to create some of thoseclassic country bends and doublestops. The compressor would also help the strings pop and snapevenly through the amp.YEEHAW!
Guitar GreatsGuitar Coach Special EditionThe sound & style of: Angus YoungSchool Boy Forever; Angus! Angus!and hot-rodded Chuck Berry licks (High Voltage).Angus Young is one half of the perhaps the mostprolific riff-writing duo this side of JimmySetup was simple; Young would put an SGstraight into a 100w Marshall stack. Everythinghe did was via the guitar control but 9.99 timesout of 10 he would be playing balls to thewall,wide open every time. For a little moreoutput he would dig in on the strings hard whichwould hit the valves in the amp harder and,likewise, to back off he would switch to fingers orjet simply play softer. Another key aspect to pointout is that while his sound may hint at quite a bitof gain, it is actually quite dialled back. Just goesto show how hard Mr Young played.Page. Armed with his schoolboy out fit andGibson SG he is instantly recognisable whoeveryou are and he played with such venom it was asconvincing as you'll ever get. Young played likea man possessed attacking the guitar and playinghis phrases like it was his last move onearth; that was key, because even if they werecliche blues licks no-one played them quite likeAngus Young. Ever the performer, Angus wouldalso throw in one-handed pull-offs(Thunderstruck), Pick scrapes (Highway To Hell)TabGrab your satchel
Guitar GreatsGuitar Coach Special EditionThe sound & style of: Bryan MayBrian May has written some of the most memorable riffs in the history of rock music.Mr May not only brought a unique homemadeguitar to the table but a playing style that wasjust as quirky. He only every played to add to thesong and with solo's such as those in 'BohemianRhapsody' and 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' it iseasy to see why he made a name for himself.What made Brian so distinct was his use of goldplated strings and a sixpence for a plectrum; thiscoupled with the switching system on his 'RedSpecial' guitar make for some very recognisabletones.Brian liked to crank 3 Vox AC30's right the way upin order to achieve natural Overdrive and boostedthis further by using a treble booster pedal toTabpush them into singing sustain. By varying thetouch with his sixpence he could coax so muchfrom such a simple set up, so be sure to switchbetween digging in hard or barely striking thestrings in order to achieve a multi-tide of soundslike Mr May.We should pull focus to the 'Red Special' Guitar;Brian built this with his father out of an old fireplace and a bicycle and it is a work of sonic art.What it has that some of us mere mortals don'thave is a around 6 different switching systemsfor 3 single coil pickups, so we must do the bestthat we can with a single-coil equipped guitar orsorts. Have no fear though, because Brian May isall about playing the simple things well and withconviction .READY FREDDIE?
Guitar GreatsGuitar Coach: Special EditionThe Sound & Style Of: Derek TrucksSlide guitar there's no one betterthan this Truckster.Derek Trucks started playing slide at the rip oldage of 10 years old purely because he hands weretoo small to reach round the guitar neck. Fromthat point he went on to play with JoeWalsh, The Allman Brothers and Eric Clapton toname but a few. Trucks' style is very unique in theway he can coax almost any sound from hisinterment with a slide; he often creates linesinfluenced heavily by Indian music as well asdrawing from the original delta blues folk andplayers such as Duane Allman and SonnyLandreth.Derek uses Gibson guitars for the majority andTabemploys a 61 SG as his main guitar but has beenseen with Les Pauls and Firebirds. He plugs thesestraight into Fender Twins or, more recently, PRSamps and then brings more overdrive into themix by using the guitar's volumeknob. The reason for his amp choice is so he canget a relatively clean sound for clarity. Very rarelywill there be an overdrive. Trucks' will use a wahoccasionally to add another dimension to histone, and it is worth pointing out he doesn't use aplectrum at all; he prefers to have completecontrol over his strings so this way he can almostcreate any nuance-slide or no slide-with hisfingers by flicking, slapping and pulling.Time to go to the river
Guitar GreatsGuitar Coach Special EditionThe Sound & Style Of: Eddie Van HalenEVH turned rock guitar on it's headwhen he burst onto the scene in 1979.Eddie brought two-handed tapping to the foreand every guitar player in the early 80's wantedto know exactly how he was doing it; at firsthe turned his back to the audience whenexecuting the technique, but it was soon tobecome a staple of Van Halen's liveperformances.More importantly Eddie played with a smile onhis face making everything look effortless,and he was one of the first users of the FloydRose tremolo system-divebombs and squealsgalore!EVH built his own guitars in the beginning whichhave now culminated in his own Wolfgangsignature series with Fender; but in thebeginning it was stray-style guitars with a humbucking pickup in the bridge position and thosefamiliar stripes. Eddie's signal chainTabconsisted of a wah-wah pedal-which hemodified-a phaser pedal and a flanger. All thosefamiliar riffs such as a 'Panama' and 'Unchained'were recorded with these boxes. From there itwas into a non-master volume Marshall head;100w of pure, unadulterated, cranked britishgoodness!It was due to EVH's desire to drive these ampsinto singing overdrive by using either a hotplate(a device used to allow the cranking of valveheads at a more accessible volume) or windingthe volume/gain up to ear-splitting volumes. So,to avoid clearing a hole in the front 5 rows of ashow, Amp companies started making amps withmaster volumes so you could argue that Mr VanHalen invented the master-volume amp.Let's go and grab our favourite spandex andmullet as we go and recreate some signatureEVH sounds WOW!
Guitar GreatsGuitar Coach Special EditionThe Sound & Style Of: Jimmy PageJimmy Page is often viewed as THEriff-master in all of classic rock.Page wrote some of the most iconic riffs of alltime and was one of the finest producers to boot;he made Zeppelin sound roaring. Jimmy was wellknown for being a lazy player with hisLes Paul slung low and marshall cranked high;he dragged his pick across the strings like abourbon-soaked bluesman and cared not forwhat anyone thought. He was said to have playedwith gauge 8 strings at times but who knows,he was a devout Les Paul player but oftenrecorded with Telecasters in the studio as wellas guitars in variety of different tunings he was a tinker and boy do we love him for it.Page was very much old school with his tone; LesTabPaul into a Marshall with a wah, chorus andprobably an overdrive in the middle. This was hislive rig and it worked to devastating effect.He sometimes employed a violin bow to get long,sustained notes from his axe and occasionallyused a theremin for sonic variety.What is key to JP's sound is his loose and ropeyfeel; it was rockstar and it was cool as a cucumber.He raked the strings and he flicked behindthe nut as well as bending to extremesduring solo passages; so when recreating Page'ssound make sure you're relaxed and 'feeling' themusic. Zeppelin was all about being off kilter andoff key; it was an intentional manner.Jumpsuits are order of the day and dragons
Guitar GreatsGuitar Coach Special EditionThe Sound & Style Of: SlashWho knew one man could bring back goodtime rock 'n' roll?The man known as Slash arrived in 1988 coated inleather with a low-slung Les Paul, a top hate andan iconic cigarette to boot; Rock music was aboutto get a shot in the arm. Armed with the classicLP-Marshall combo Slash created simple yetsolidly executed riffs and craftedvocal-like guitar solo's that are still revered today– some 20 years later. His style was theperfect blend of an earthy-bluesy core withrough, brash edges and his sharp, quick vibratoadded a familiarity to his already signaturephrasing. They key is image as well as style andtechnique.Slash's first 'real' guitar was a hand-built Les Paulreplica combined with a Marshall JCM 800;the tone was warm and round with plenty of gritTaband grind to get the job done. Not as gainheavyas some would think; whatever you think youSHOULD have back it off a little.In between those stalwarts of rock is a verysparse pedal board, but the most important oneon the board is without a doubt a wah wahpedal; The most individual and vocal pedalaccessible to guitarists. Slash uses it to fantasticeffect in solo's such as 'Sweet Child O' Mine'and 'You Could Be Mine'. He has a signaturemodel with Jim Dunlop effects. The other 2 pedalson the board are a Boost pedal to push the ampa little harder for solo sections, and a choruspedal for clean passages.Slash liked to take his clean and dirty soundsfrom his amp and use very sparse effects to'colour in' so to speak.Top Hats are go!!!
Guitar GreatsGuitar Coach Special EditionThe Sound & Style Of: Zakk WyldeOzzy Osbourne's longest serving guitar player;the often terrifying - and monstrous, Zakk Wylde.Mr Wylde had more than a slight similarity to thelate, great Randy Rhoads; the bell-bottomed jeans,the flowing golden hair, the white Les Paul custom All that though was soon forgotten when Zakk hadthe now synonymous black bullseye graphic placedupon his steed and shredded his way out of the80's. Wylde brought back thesounds of his idols in the form of classic riffery,stinging solo's and signature sound; it was a newguitar hero for a new guitar generation and heseized the opportunity like a dog with a bone.ZW is a ferocious alternate picker and often usesnothing but said technique, however, this singleshim out as one of the most recognisable players inrock; coupled with his astonishing3 fret-wide vibrato. There is no-one quite as scary asa 6ft giant with technique such as this Zakk's sound is very much a tried and tested combo;TabLes Paul guitar into Marshall Stack.However, there are a few tweaks in between thatreally make it 'sing'.Zakk uses EMG pickups which are active (9v batterypowered) which add compression to the naturalsound of the guitar, and from there it goes into afew well chosen pedals; first is asignature wah wah pedal which is voiced to Wylde'sspecs (boosted treble and Les Paulspecific), then into a rotovibe pedal (which isa controllable chorus pedal in a wah housing).From there he goes into an Overdrive pedal to pushthe already crunchy amp into sweetsustain for leads, followed by a phaser and a choruspedal split into stereo (divided across 2 amps). Allthese are used very sparingly but in exactly theright spots.Time for some classic metal skulduggery!
