Do Stratocaster and Telecaster guitars have naturally buzzy necks?
Fret buzz is when you play your guitar and the strings literally make a buzzing sound; this buzzing can happen whether strings are played open, or maybe your Strat neck only buzzes when playing chords on certain frets.
I got asked on Facebook on whether it's required to have a Gibson SG to get that desirable Tony Iommi (of Black Sabbath) sound. The answer is no, you don't. Most of what makes for an Iommi sound has more to do with playing style instead of what guitar you have. Check out the video below and see (and hear) for yourself!
Note on the video: It's long. Almost 24 minutes. However it's worth your time to check it out because if you were wondering how I got that pedal steel sound out of a Stratocaster, the above video will show you exactly how it's done.
