I remember being blown away when I first heard The Trooper. Yet I was never a fan of that band as amazing as they are. |

Something special about hearing Maiden for the first time. The Trooper is so intense. In today's music it doesn't sound very heavy but back then it was cutting edge.

I didn’t understand it back then what made that riff sound so cool and later on I understood it’s the harmonized lead guitars what makes it special. |

Two songs demanded full attention from my ears uopn first hearing. For Xmas 1968 I received Cream's Wheels of Fire as a present from my folks. When Clapton took off in the middle solo of White Room I was hooked. Totally flat sound, treble boost and a partly cocked wah-wah at that point. Wow,
Second time was seeing Yes in october 1970 - I was in a balcony 10 foot above Steve Howe, and I just couldn't believe how he got such a massive diversity of sound from a couple of pedals ans his ES-175D. Looong sustained notes that you didn't typically associate with a rock sound. |

Santana on "Samba Pa Ti" is one of my foundational songs, I learned in when I was 18, but the electric guitar tone that persists in my ears is Roy Buchanan's "The Messiah will come again". I custom built a Tele just to get that tone.

That a beautiful lead on you4 tele! You really coaxed its voice out well Is that natural overdrive, or do you have a pedal helping out?

I agree with Steve DeRosa I could not pic one tone
In fact I think it is hard to divorce the tone from riff or the progression the timing the pauses between the notes etc. And maybe even impossible to divorce the tone from the hands of the player That said one of my first serious interest in studying tone and influences ( like Santana has stated also ) was what Gabor Szabo was doing with an acoustic and pickup. I literally played the grooves out of this live album in 1967

Well... that ain't me playing...
But I agree, he nails it. And as I said, that is probably my favorite electric tone. I love that Tele bridge pickup voice. |

Mine is before your time it appears. Before pedals. John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers featuring Eric Clapton using a Marshal Bluesbreaker amp and a Les Paul. He was never the same after he quit using a Les Paul. All Your Love is pure guitar and passion. The space makes it ooooz.

To have a "clean" tone, leave lots of space, and still command attention. Freakin' scary!

However as far as Clapton and his tone, it seems Mr Jelly is correct https://theproaudiofiles.com/eric-clapton-guitar-tone/ Excerpt : The distortion you hear on the “Beano” record and Clapton’s other 1960s recordings is from the amp being cranked. The humbuckers on the various Gibson guitars he used in the Bluesbreakers/Cream era pushed the amp harder than single coils could — pushing it into more overdrive. This particular overdrive from the Bluesbreaker combo is often mistakenly attributed to a Dallas Arbiter Rangemaster treble booster. Despite rumors on the internet about Clapton using a Rangemaster, he says that he never did. This is confirmed by the recording engineer
