What is the most melodic

[lovedaebmm]

What is the best model of MM for good clean and nice melodic playing?

 

[slukather]

Define melodic, l've heard metal bands that are melodic.

For cleans, l'll go the Luke, it's an all round versitle guitar.

Hope this helps,

Scott.

Whichever one inspires you.

 

[robelinda2]

silhouette special.

you have one, arent you able to get good sounds out of it? It has fantastic cleans.

 

[lovedaebmm]

Myabe a luke is the way to go. Get one with a piezo etc

 

[uvacom]

Albert Lee, of course!

 

[robelinda2]

i cant wait to own an Albert Lee, so i can tell you all just how great the cleans are, it surely must be the best axe in that regard.

 

[Colin]

Morse hands down...

 

[lovedaebmm]

Y2d or normal?

 

[lovedaebmm]

And does a Floyd Rose take away from tone/sound?

 

[Spudmurphy]

Albert Lee, of course!

 

[lovedaebmm]

Anyone know if u could get a Vai sound out of a music man?

 

[ibanez2005]

I doubt it very much, those Dimarzio Evolutions are desgined for Vai himself, so his amp and most of his effects are modded to his taste.

I'll bet Steve Vai could get the sound out of a MM.

 

[lenny]

well i have a silo ,axis ss and an Albert and the albert with the 3 sigles is the sweetest chiming guitar ever ,it has replaced the silo as my main fiddle! so u want clean AL with 3 singles 2nd position for nice twangy chickin pickin and neck P/U for rythym

Vai could get a great sound out of a MM, if you do some research
on his guitars EVO, PIA, FLO all have prototype pickups in them
these were all pickups dimarzio were developing for him to use
as a sig. pickup. Its as much if not more to do with his fingers...

 

[ibanez2005]

I honestly dont think Vai's tone is that "special".
His phrasing is more recognisable to me, like when you hear a song and you dont know who it is but you kind of recognise certain things being played.
Vai has always sounded like Vai, even with DLR and Whitesnake though, sign of a great player.

Anyway, back to the topic.

Melodic playing comes from within, but if you're after a clean tone then you have to experiment with which model you like the sound of best.

 

[THE_EB_KID]

I agree, thats my point its his style(or phrasing) that you
pick up on. You can clearly pick him out of a song of your
familiar with his stuff. He usually sounded very similar what
ever guitar he's played through the years.
