borge Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 Mike Sterns yamaha has a neck pup and a tone control....the 2 basic key elements to jazz tones. Sure you could play jazz on any guitar but turning up to a jazz gig with just a bridge pup and vol is like turning up to a metal gig with a tele and a champ Quote
borge Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 tone plays a huge part in defining music. we have only three variables: pitch, duration and timbre. A piece of music (set pitches and durations) played with different instruments (or different timbres on the same instruments) will often change the genre. if you hear a simple pent riff on played on pos. 4 on a strat>q tron>clean fender. you instantly think funk. the same riff on a sitar or LP>triple Rectifier or banjo or kazoo ect will all imply different genres to some extent...
