tone: an exhausted continuance
The time has come– once again. The epic tone-hunt that fills so many musicians lives graces my road once more. I plug in my guitar and I expect my amp to produce the distinct sounds and ideas that I have inside my head– it, however, does not. My mind has a much better musical vocabulary than both my fingers and my equipment. *Equipment (the word) is so unromantic. There is nothing about that word that actually expresses what can be done with the items that it (the word) describes. Sadly, language is a hindrance to the ideas that I would like to convey. I wish that I were more articulate so that I might be able to express my thoughts and feelings the way a writer would but, unfortunately, I am not a writer.*
I hope to spend much time inside of my current tone to see if I might prescribe a solution. Tone is the delve of a lifetime, however, I am determined to be someone who discovers it and its place in my world (relatively soon). I think one of the only ways to discover said tone is to record and capture the musical moment. I am not a sound engineer so my recordings may go poorly, however, the point is to capture the tone that I produce.
Recording: my next venture in my quest for tone. I hope to leave earth for the fourth dimension very, very soon.

I’m hunting for the perfect tone as we speak! My Marshall JCM800 is no longer cutting it.
