Eight Steps to Tone
By John Cook
Does the following scenario
sound familiar? One day at band
practice, thinking out loud, you
say, “Man, my tone sucks!” Your
drummer will ask what’s wrong
with it, and you’ll fumble around
for answers before uttering some
generalized complaint like, “It’s
just not… great. I want a really
great tone.”
