Are the neon color guitars coming back in style?
There was a time in the 80s when neon-colored guitars sold fairly well. Has that time come again?
An individual most would consider a rock god of sorts is Randy Rhoads. Was Randy a good player? Yes. But his studio tone was total crap.
If you look up what Over The Mountain sounds like with just the guitars heard, it sounds awful. The guitars are nothing but a trebly, clacky, nasty mess.
Why do the guitars sound bad on their own? It's not for lack of guitar playing ability, but rather because they were purposely recorded that way.
Hint: It's not studio monitors.
I'm going to note up front that this is written from a guitar player's point of view, but it should serve well for bass players also.
No, this is not a joke. Fender really did release a set of "signature" Yngwie Malmsteen electric guitar strings.
