[Ab] Hey everybody, this is John [F] with LearningGuitarNow [C].com.
In this little [F] video lesson, I'm going to talk to you about how [Fm] to get [Eb] Dwayne Allman's guitar [Gbm] tone.
And this [E] is a simple little tip.
[Eb] This is not [C] a [E] technical discussion [Eb] or video [E] about pots, [Eb] capacitors, amps, and [E] _ [Db] speakers and [B] whatnot.
I'll leave [D] that for a different video.
But this is a very simple tip that'll cost you [Eb] less than a dollar to [Bm] start implementing
or [F] maybe right now you already have [A] it.
So what is [Abm] this tip I'm talking about?
It's all about using the pick.
[Eb] I [G] find a lot of people are [D] using the pointed _ _ part of the pick.
[E] That's a great thing to do, [D] but it gives you [G] a [Eb] really [D] precise _ sound [Bm] like this.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [D] _ _ Just a [B] lot of attack.
I find Dwayne Allman's [Gb] tone doesn't [C] sound like that.
It's real [D] round, [G] real warm.
[Ab] It's not [Gb] piercing.
I tried _ _ _ using [Eb] the round side of the pick.
In [Gb] particular, this Dunlop Jazz 3, which [Ebm] has _ [Gbm] the round side is pretty thick.
[E] _ _ [F] Using that and also not hitting the [Gb] string directly on.
_ [D] Just like this, but [Ab] you're going to hit it at an angle [F] on that round side tip there.
You get more of this tone.
[Gbm] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [A] So _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ [D] _ _ [E] _ [Bm] _ _ _ [D] _
_ [A] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ [F] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Gb] as you can tell, it's just a more round, smooth [C] tone.
[E] Once again, the pointed pick, [A] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [Eb] now it's a round side. _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ You just got to remember to angle [Ab] it.
If you [F] don't angle it, [Gbm] it won't be that much of a difference.
[G] It still will be a difference, but not [Gb] a huge.
I find that straight [Bm] on _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ [E] sounds like [Eb] that, but [Em] just angle it [B] a bit and [C] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [D] _
_ _ [Eb] you just get a
totally _ different type of [D] attack.
I definitely hear that.
I [Gb] don't know if Dwayne Allman used [E] the round side of a pick or not.
I really don't know.
But [Ebm] I tried it [G] and it sounded more like him to me.
So this is what I'm using to sound like him.
_ Also using the [F] bridge pickup here on this Les Paul, I got the tone turned down to probably about [A] eight.
[Eb] I got the volume on about eight.
Using [E] a Maxon _ [Eb] _ OD808 through a 66 _ Vibra-Luxe, but you don't [F] have to have all [B] this equipment.
[C] _ _ [Ab] Pretty much the goal [G]
or what you want to [E] take away from this is that [Ab] any tube [F] amp can work.
[E] Any [Ebm] _
[Gb] guitar preferably with [D] humbuckers can work.
[G] _
I [Db] find a lot of [Gb] Dwayne Allman's tone comes out of his hands and [Fm] there are _ elements that
you [Eb] can use in your guitar, your amp, and your pedals and playing and whatnot, but [C] it's
a lot about playing technique.
[F] _ _
[Gbm] So angling that pick and [Gb] using the _ [D] round side of it, and in particular this [Ebm] pick has a thick
round side, [Gb] gets that [D] sound. _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Fm] So you just want to mess [Eb] around with it.
_ [Ab] [G] Start using the round side of a pick.
[Gb] Once again, Dunlop [F] Jazz 3's [Gb] and [Ab] see if you can [E] hear a [Eb] difference in [G] using the pointed side.
I definitely can hear a huge difference.
[Am] _ [C] _ _ _
[Dm] _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _
_ _ [A] _ [G] [Eb] Just [G] a rounder tone.
