TONES - great solo guitar recordings

Postby DOSS BS-1 » Sat May 30, 2020 11:14 am

Hey what are some solo guitar recordings that have the biggest, best, most beautiful, and/or most outrageous, TONES??

1. The music doesn't matter - this is strictly about the tone.

2. "Solo guitar" meaning just guitar on the recording, not "guitar solos" (which can be a whole separate thread)

3. Looping and overdubbing is fine, just no other instruments.

4. ANY genre - classical, metal, ambient, folk, electric, acoustic, angry, happy, whatever.

5. Bonus points if they have extensive effects and glitchy fun.

This is a judgement-free zone! For this thread a horrible piece of craptastic music with a great tone is better than an amazing piece of music with a craptone.

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND??

Andres Segovia - Leyenda is I think my all time favorite solo guitar recording

This guy! Makes me want to quit playing guitar.
He has some amazing solo albums that you should check out if this video makes you feel warm inside(and loathe your guitar skills).

Wow. That track titled "VIIII" fried my brain in such a good way. THANK YOU!

I saw this post and was worried that the recording was going to be a boxy sounding iphone video. But DAMN, that tone is so FULL. I was not expecting that out of a resonator guitar. The balance between the lows and highs is perfect. His phrasing is jaw dropping. I was so blown away I didn't even realize he's a lefty until the second viewing. Great stuff.

He is amazing. You should check out his solo albums: "Furulund", "Langen Ro" and "Brødløs". They're all great. :animal:
He was also part of the Nils Petter Molvaer Band on "Switch" and "Buoyancy".
And he is probably the most hired session musician in Norway.
I've seen two of his solo concerts, just him with a resonator and a pedal steel(and a bounce of pedals). I'm always in awe when I hear him play. :!!!:

Does anyone have recommendations for the following:

1. I'm looking for references of full bodied clean tones. Style of music does not matter.
2. Looped guitar. I've never really checked out Lowercase Noises, Perry Frank, etc. What are some good examples?
3. ECM-type guitar recordings drenched in lush reverb, etc.
4. Is there anything YOU'VE recorded solo that you think has great tones? Don't be shy.

There is a 2nd track plying the high stuff but it's a good sound
[it's just a epi sheraton w' black winters direct, using UA plug-ins for the reverb and echo]

:thumb: Sounds great. Sometimes direct recordings can be thin but that sounds so nice and full. That low B near the end is massive. Nice vibe on the music too.

Pete Jonas playing this stunning track for Old Blood has an amazing tone or two to say the least. Lovely guitar too. Skip to 45 seconds in if you want to avoid the shakey camera intro stuff.

I hadn’t seen that one; it is great. He also does one of the Coffee and Riffs I’ve enjoyed.
