What is your favorite guitar tone?

I spent years hopping from pedal to pedal, amp to amp, trying to get better and better tone. It didn't really get me anywhere. I didn't understand why I still had good moments and bad moments.

Then one day I decided to ask myself the question "What is my favorite guitar tone?"

I wrote down a few examples and started a relentless pursuit into finding out how they were made, and I discovered that I was getting something very fundamental very wrong.

This video shares the one thing every influential guitar tone has in common.
