Better Tone: Pick Angle or Dynamics?

Tone improvement trick: Pick angle control or picking dynamics?

🎸 When you’re chasing better tone, which matters more, the angle of your pick or the dynamics in your attack?

Both can completely change your sound, but which one has made the bigger difference for you?

Let’s hear your tone secrets, GuitarGym fam! ⚡

Ah the mystical 'tone' 😱. I usually strike my strings between 82.5° and 87.3°. Otherwise the tone is a total garbage 👎.

Nice angle range, @Petr Hartmann !! Perfect tone should be accesible from there! 😉

Another guitar?: Explain… or Surrender?

When friends ask “why do you need another guitar?” do you: explain tone differences or give up explaining?

🎸 “Why do you need another guitar?”

Do you start passionately explaining tone woods, pickups, scale lengths… or do you just give up because they’ll never understand? 😂

Which path do you choose, GuitarGym fam?

Let's face it, you don't really need a new guitar. You want a new guitar and can't wait to get it home. No need to explain to anybody. Their problem - not yours.

Maybe guitars are like significant others. If you only have one, how do you know there isn't a better choice out there. My first guitar cost $350 in 1964. The second one cost $5 in 1967. Which one do you think i learned the most songs on?
