Stop Blaming Your Gear – Do This Instead

Steve Vai drops a powerful tip: Your tone is in your hands. It’s how hard you press, how you pull, how you vibrate each note. Yes, gear matters—but you’re the boss of the tone.

🎸 Try this next time you play and see how it changes your sound!

#ToneIsInTheHands

How hard you touch the note has a lot to do with it too. The intonation is dictated by how hard you push, how hard you pull this way, what your vibr is like. If your vibr is resonating within the note, it’s not uncommon to find people not vibrating this [Music] note. All of these things go into discovering your unique tone. People say the tone is in the amp, the tone is in the guitar, the tone is in the neck, the tone is in the the body or the pickups. On one level, yes, there is a tone in all of those things, but you’re the boss of the tone because you’re the one playing it and you’re the one hitting the note.
