Bat you may want to get Guitar World mag if you don't.
Govan is now a columnists.
He says " Tone is a weird thing to define. For some, it's a matter of finding the perfect amp setting and the perfect pickup. For me, it's a state of mind. I've always been into the idea that you can play one note a million different ways and that's the joy of the electric guitar as opposed to the piano, which can just turn a note on and off and determine how loud it is. The electric guitar is a vocal instrument, and like a voice my tone can vary note by note."
I know that's why I have a hard time in threads of tone and equipment....I agree with him in that it is a state of mind....tone comes from within first.
James you are not alone in your opinion. The greatest string slingers on earth consider him a guru and has the reputation as one of the best transcibers.....I'm sure him being a prodigy that starting playing at 3 didn't hurt.
