- When it comes to the guitar, it’s not just about the notes you play. Your tone can have a huge impact on the way your playing comes across. You can add ambience to create a relaxing atmosphere or add some overdrive to imply more aggression and attitude. Many of our favorite guitarists spend countless hours crafting the perfect tone for a guitar part. This involves choosing the right amplifier, guitar, pedals, effects, and even recording techniques.
In this video lesson, Ayla Tesler-Mabe digs into her five favorite guitar tones of all time and shows you how you can replicate those sounds yourself. This is more than just a history lesson, it’s also a great way for you to deepen your understanding and appreciation of guitar gear and the role it plays in your own playing.

Great that you included Turn the lights down low. Lot's of great guitar work to be found on all of the Bob Marley & the Wailers albums. Often overlooked by many people learning guitar.
Your guitar collection are really wonderful. I keep learning a lot by watching your channel. Thanks for making it.
Also, one of the best guitar tones/sounds is the chorus with a little bit of an edge on Def Leppard‘s Hysteria.
The guitars were recorded using a Rockman for the entire album. No amps. Such an iconic sound.
@@jpizzleforizzle I’ve been learning a lot of DL riffs recently and I’ve found a good way to replicate the tone is to use my blues driver with my jazz chorus and I dial the mids entirely off
Watchin/listening to you play Voodoo Chile just made my day!!! Keep on Rockin' and stay groovy!!!
Thanks for the cool tone overview, Ayla ! I say it every time but I love the look of your Texas Tea Strat - definitely a favorite color I've ever seen Fender put out...
This is cool, thanks for showing us how to achieve these tones!
this is such an awesome video, have wanted to get into tone for a while now but have always found finding the right place to start to be so intimidating and impenetrable. this video does such an awesome job simplifying the idea of signal flow and tone, i really appreciate the breadth of knowledge on display here. thanks ayla for another banger
Awesome Video ... I really admire your positive attitude towards everything !!!
Love the editing style, it’s great
Ayla, I just discovered this channel. You have a very approachable, chill, and fun vibe. Subscribed, thanks for the content!
So wonderful I found you're incredible teaching skills...you are awesome Ayla !! Cheers...
Great video, thanks for taking the time to do this.
Super informative and inspiring, thanks! The kind of video that makes me wanna go play guitar as soon as I'm done watching (which I'll be doing now)
Creative, talented & such zeal for teaching! May G - - bless you in all you do!
hands down one of the best video on tone, thanks!
Useful info Ayla... Many thanks 🎸🎸🎸
Cool Video -- It's always fun to play around with effects and try and create something new and interesting to me.
You got Good ears!! Appreciate your passion it’s contagious
This is simply an exceptional video. I love your choice of songs. I'd really like to see more videos like thia about guitar tone. Tutorials are easy enough to find, but generating a great gutar tone are not. & I love, love, love your Tommy James tone.
The "Brown Sound" definitely 1 of my favs......EVH
R.I.P.
Very helpful, thank you!
Great presentation always nice when I can learn something thanks
You have great taste in music. Similar to my own. Great playing and videos. Thanks for the inspiration!
Awesome video- and use of the sonic air running out sound :) no pressure!
Such great guitars being used!! So cool
Please do some more guitar tones, love these!
Love your video's always learn something from them✌
Awesome video !
You’re so very talented 💫
I'm really into Rotem Sivan guitar tone. On I think it's "All we need" . He has a great raw tone through his Howard Robert's into a fender twin Reverb with just a slight touch with a Fishman guitar synth...it's soooo beautiful to me right now. Great video. Forgot all about C and C good catch.
Hey Ayla, glad you did the funky Meters tune. New Orleans Jazz Fest is back after a 2 year Covid delay, it is the last week in April and the 1st week in May. Glad you did Hendrix too. Just curios, I wonder what that strat would look like with a aged white pearloid pickguard and knobs. Hey when I was a kid Crimson and Clover came on the radio and my Dad kept on trying to tune in the station. LOL 😂 I sure do miss him. Thanks. 👍🎸🙏😎✌️
Ayla kicking ass like always. Awesome tones!
TURN YOUR LIGHTS DOWN LOW!!! One of my absolute favorite Marley songs (and I listen to a LOT of Marley) and I just played it for a group of 9 close friends the other night and not ONE of them knew it, I'm so happy to find that somebody else loves it.
Being both a crappy guitarist and not an expert of clean tones, this video is perfect for Me!
BTW talking of guitar tones, I love the Eric Johnson lead one, but it's also one of the hardest to even get close to, at least for me and even owning a Strat...
thank you learned alot. love bell popping blues tone but also gain. 7 th fret to 9th d & G clean tube
That was a very good cover for Turn Your Lights Down Low. Would be really nice to see you play this fully or tutorial or tabs. Can’t find any that match how you played it. Awesome job 👍👍👍
What a brilliant video! Entertaining, inspiring and so helpful. Thank you Ayla!
Beautiful your Fender! I really enjoyed the video! I use a Fender Corona California.
She is just a beautiful person. Watching her stuff gives me confidence... insightful too!
Thank you! I subbed, and so should erbody.
I am so engrossed in your sweet way of talking I haven't heard much of the contents so I have to keep coming back to watch it, I don't have a electric Guitar as yet, I still wanted to listen to you 😄😍
My favorite guitar tone of all time?: Daune Allman: Eat a Peach: Mountain Jam: 27:30 on... Sublime. BTW, you really nailed that Voodoo Chile tone! Just subbed & looking forward to more of your vids!
Ayla I just love your videos. This was so cool I saved it to favorites :) Thanks!!
Thanks 4 ur lessons, and tips, ur accent its beautiful
My fav guitar tone sound is Slow Dancing in a Burning Room by John Mayer. Soothes the soul
I've said it before - you're amazing. A prodigy. Your video editing is better and better too.
Nice job, and thanks for the careful explanations of stuff. I don't really have any problems with the choices you made, and it's a good broad palette of sounds - I just feel it necessary to say because I loved it so much ... the best guitar tone I ever heard was Stevie Ray Vaughan live. Would be maybe interesting to compare it to the Hendrix tone you reviewed. Really good job, thanks.
I would love to see the Helix settings you used. Your tone sounds amazing
Nice emulations! We can save the modeled versus real hardware debate for later. One of my all time favorites is the tape flange during Jimi's solo at the end of Axis Bold as Love.
BTW, I don't think the tempo of Crimson and Clover is 168 bpm, more like 80 ish. Keep up the good work.
Hey. Great vid Ayla. So did you re-wire the button on an Ultra Strat to do the coil tapping? Obviously not a stock pickup either, right?
Very pretty Les Paul you have. Also i like the ring you have on very pretty and i enjoy what you do thanks!
THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED I JUST GOT A MODELING AMP AND I WAS WONDERING HOW TO DIAL IN A GREAT TONE
Wow, thanks! I need a lot of help in this area!
Great video!
Nice song choices and tones.
You are an amazing inspiration
Marc Bolan’s amp was a HH mosfet 100 watt transistor 2x12 British made combo amp, the same ones used by Wilco Johnson in Doctor Feelgood.
Lately, I enjoy chicken pickers. In the past there were so many good tones from the late 60s through the 70s. Robin Trower's Bridge of Sighs has some great ones. Jerry Garcia has lots of them throughout his career. I like the reverse delay from Jimi Hendrix's Castles Made of Sand. Thre were a lot of great tones from Steely Dan and Little Feat, too. Eric Clapton has some great tones, too
Love the funk tones!
Wonder if Bolan was inspired by Fripps 21st Century Schizoid Man from King Crimsons Court of the Crimson King...? Great album cover😉😎👍
Crimson (again?) And Clover along with Pictures of Matchstick Men were intros to cool tremolo for me as well 😎👍
Wonderful video.
Great information...Thank you Ayla😎👍❤🖖
If you ask many contemporary guitarists of today, they would all say one basic thing about tone...
Nuno put it best when he was finally in the presence of Eddie, who handed him his guitar to play
THAT tone... The Guitar, the Effects, The Amps, and the DNA was all in his hands... He HAD that
perfect tone in front of him... Soooo, when he started to play, he was totally devastated...
Instead of sounding like the most iconic TONE of all time, Nuno 'only' sounded like himself...
It`s all in the fingers!!!
Another testament to the greatness of Edward.
Nice! I love phaser. I’m gonna try to jam to that bob marley song🙂 have you tried the Strymon deco? You can get all those cool tape effects on your board🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Have you tried Wes Montgomery's tone ? And the effect his thumb had on it? Great presentation will be looking and liking your back catalogue. Thanks.
My favorite guitar tone is Brian May’s red special, absolutely rich and very well balanced.
Hello Ayla .. Another Gr8 lesson .. I was not a Marc Bolan Fan But I was forced to the Song "Listen to Life's a Gas " of one of Marc's album's My schoolfriend had access to his older sisters Stereo & He insisted I listen over & over until I agreed it was a good song. .. On the Recording of Jimi in his Electric Ladyland studio .. I have watched so many interviews & seen so many Still's B&W shots of him .. it is difficult to be sure of much except they were using good Herb's lol .. But there is a picture of Jimi sitting in the main Live room & he is sitting on the floor next to a Bassman & I believe he was double tracking with himself ?? Eddie Kramer had Mike's all over & it's true Jimi played a lot of the stuff in the mixing Desk room & my favoutite story from someone who was there is that Jimi played a part that was then going to be played back in reverse & to the amazement of all he seemed to have planned the part perfectly so that when he laid down the next part over the Backwards playing tape he Got it right 1st take as if he knew exactly how it would sound ?? Genius or Luck / Talent... But what fun it must have been to be there & be a part of it all . Dave Mason who played the acoustic guitar part in " Watchtower " seem's to have some of the best & informed memories of the sessions I urge you to try & find them .. Anyway Big love to you & all the crew & the Band etc To Guitar learners young & old .. I have bought a really Light Strat ' affinity series & I have a small multi Fx ( won't name ) That seem's to have a strange mind of it's own .. But it allows me to play with Headphones on when I cannot sleep ( still Bed bound a lot of Back pain ) But Never give up .. Right ? & I still have fun . I wish I had the Set up Line 6 stuff .. But I will have to save up for that . Stay safe & Well you are always cool .. From the Forest where spring is beginning to show . Cheers
A partially cocked Wah is one key to Mick Ronson's tone. Check out all of the Aladdin Sane LP.
Brilliant!
Your Jimi tone is awesome 🤩
I'd have to say that my all-time favorite guitar tone is the "Boston" guitar tone.
They did have a unique tone, he was an M.I.T. Graduate & virtually came up with his own tone. It was a great one at the time, but the only problem with Boston was that if you heard the first album, you heard them all. They never really changed after that, in my humble opinion, they just stayed the same.
Tom Scholz is such a kickass guitarist
Moody Blues "bumble bee" fuzz is a great tone. Similar to the Guess Who on some of their songs too. E bow and the 10cc Gizmotron are interesting effects too.
Nice call - one of my favorite guitar sounds as well (“The Story In Your Eyes” is a great example)
the color on that strat is super cool
Hi awesome video luv it
But which programm do you use on your laptop?
Best guitar teacher on the net! 🙌
It’d be cool to learn more about how you figured out *which* amps and pedals to use. That seems like the hardest part to me.
great choice with 20th century boy. love
T. Rex so much
Oh, that Hall & Oates sounding wah/ phaser is incredible. Would go well with Sara Smile.
We need Ayla videos about amplifiers. Can you plz?😄
Great stuff! Don’t suppose that you could tell us about that GORGEOUS Les Paul of yours…
Thanks. 🌷🙏🎶
Ayla, your playing absolutetly blows my mind each time! I'd love to have you join my next World Wide Shred Collab!! 🥳🔥🎸🙌
Is it me or does the A & D string further apart on the Fender meteora or is that an illusion :) .. Great video like always. Thank you.
Your T-Rex tone is awesome. One of your contemporaries, TheDooo, has an exceptional, distinct tone.
For Hendrix I found using the "Hendrix" string gauges made a huge difference in the bass notes.
Great tone! What are the specs and color of this guitar
Really good..... Good tone...
she is so positive gotta love that attitude
Hi from Argentina, I that the first song was going to be John Mayer’s Rosie. Same tone some first cords and Sam first notes on the solo
Great job on the Hendrix tone
Hi Ayla What is the name of the digital amp simulator sure would like to get that thanks Donald
Hello ayla. Love your soft spoken voice 😁
Ayla, this is just great! You explore a really wide range of styles and genres from the guitar tone perspective. Super creative! Reminds me to slow down and listen with more intention before just settling on any settings. I love that vintage tape delay & saturation too! I kinda center a lot of my stuff around a Strymon Deco. I even use it for a little overdrive. I’m a big fan of all that old Laurel Canyon psychedelic twangy stuff. Any tips? I have a real Tele + a Supro amp. What do you think about Taylor’s tone on ‘Time Spent in Los Angeles’? I swear he’s a little flat on the D so the F is perfect.
Thank you! I’m a big fan. You’re right in the pocket!

Really nice guitar
Thank you. Any chance you could share the Helix patches?
Nice stuff, kiddo! Another inspiration to pick the thing up again! I'll take it, thank you and Happy Earth Day. Sorry about the mess. ;>)
Hi from England Ayla. Your smile is beautiful. Love the channel. x
Hi Ayla. For some reason, I've always loved the fuzz tone that you hear in two songs: Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum, and Think for Yourself by The Beatles. What would you recommend to emulate those sounds? You'll know what I mean when you listen to these tracks.
The fuzz sound in Think For Yourself is great indeed. And it is a very underrated gem in the Beatles catalog of course.
“A whole pile of guitar tracks…” You crack me up, Ayla!
Any chance you can make your Helix patches available?
I really need to get a better amp. Loved the video. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada.
Until I saw this video, I had no idea that Ottawa is the Algonquin word for envelope filter. Boy, I learn something new from Ayla every time.
Fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!! the almost unknown version of voodoo chile
I got a aby-pedal SwitchBlade+.Since I have weakest MG 100hfx and Code 100h.Novice,1000 times difficult.Together creates pro Roland sounds on 280W HarleyBenton.BLUFF musicgame.Tuned the amplifier,automatically plays.Could played 100 year on aby-pedal bluff,pro.
On the T Rex tone, what is with the Hum? Did you have a ground loop?
