Tone mostly comes from pedals, not fingers: total myth or depends on the setup?
🎸 Are pedals doing the heavy lifting, or are your fingers still the real source of tone? Some say effects shape everything, others say touch and technique always win.
Although I think it's all in your hands (literally), you can still 'hide' behind a wall of echo, reverb and other effects. Which I don't consider a bad thing.
You need expensive guitars to sound professional: myth or true?
🎸 Is pro tone about price tags, or what you do with the instrument in your hands? Can great playing shine through any guitar, or does gear really set the ceiling?
Something I learned from the parallel service SoundGym: “Get it right at the source.” A great guitar won’t fix bad playing. Phenomenal playing will at least be clearly professional on any instrument—I’ve seen people blame guitar sponsors for limiting a pro’s ability.
I have an all laminate Cordoba CP100 and love it, even if I have an all solid Furch and Martin.
