I'm not sure why but it does it on my MKIII. In the studio, the effects used were what was in the studio at the time - chorus, delay, ADT, EQ, reverb and so on.This issue, I’ve come up with a short piece featuring a typical fast rhythm guitar part and an accompanying wailing ‘shred’ solo that hopefully both illustrate some key elements of John’s playing style back during 1987’s classic Whitesnake album period.This first phrase kicks off with the kind of wide fret-hand vibrato that is such a big part of John's style. Notice how the bend in bar I is followed by an eighth-note rhythmic vibrato that's around one tone wide. You're not going to get the tone exactly without all the studio magic mixed in. Yes I have but you wont get that type of divebomb sound with a gibson without breaking the neck off No Sykes never said that he used one but I get a sick Sykes tone by using a treble booster in front of the amp. Sykes did all of these things on that disc so you need to take these factors into consideration.

Thats what his buddy/guy who runs his site told me. If you want to come into a thread and help out that is fine but you always take the negative aproach. But he used 2 MKIII Colloseums, so maybe that gave him that extra boost of gain?

A Thin Lizzy újjáalakulása óta azonban ismét a JCM800-ast részesíti előnyben, bár ritkán Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus kombók is láthatóak mögötte, amelyek a tiszta hangzásért felelnek. Mesa Boogie Mk III w/EQ, a wah pedal (ran as an eq/filter) then add chorus, reverb, delay as needed. I know what you mean by people trying to have a buttload more bass these days in guitar though. Another thing to take into consideration is that a lot of leads were recorded with a Charvel and not the Gibson. Gibson … ?© 1995-2019 Harmony Central, Inc. All rights reserved. All rights reserved. Hahaha! Then the rumours started that he would be a touring guitarist … He gets his tone more from his vibrato and way he voices chords" It's simply a chromatically descending sweep-picked slide pattern that makes great use of the dissonantb5 interval. Try it. (For details, see the excellent gear section at Though he has many guitars (including some beautiful, vintage Les Pauls), John is most closely associated with his black, 1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom (shown above). There are a few digital chorus pedals that are meant to sound like analog, but no digital pedals meant to sound like chorus' from back in the day. Was discontinued. However, one of John's biggest strengths is his ability to play beautifully, John Sykes has the sexiest finger vibrato around. Its the classic "Gibson Dirty Fingers" pickup tone.

Iron Horse. It is scooped sounding because of the graphic EQ, but the speakers have a lot of midrange to them so it doesn't get washed. Please refresh the page and try again.MusicRadar is part of Future plc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. the last I checked, the Gibson didnt have a wammy bar yeah, John uses Gibson Classic 57's in his guitars now. "the truth is John is gonna sound like John no matter what amp/pick ups he uses. I think some the album is poorly mixed (in particular some of his lead work is criminally undermixed). Those are the only speakers that I have been able to get the Sykes sounds out of... well what I consider to be the SYkes sound lol!! This is the power of the riff and John Sykes was damn good at creating an awesome riff. I'd say it's midrangy with just enough treble to give it that gainy sizzle. That was a mighty sound & a f**kin amazing tone. Bath What is an accurate way to describe his tone here?I think for it's time it had tons of low end.


Incidentally, as I mentioned earlier, on the video version I double-tracked the entire solo and rhythm part — in other words, I played everything twice. So im curious what is the tone John Sykes on this album? In other keys played lower down the neck, the stretches will become much harder.

But he used 2 MKIII Colloseums, so maybe that gave him that extra boost of gain? Don't tell me you've never done the 'push on the neck' fake whammy bar trick... Stylistically, I’d describe John as a player who has great classic rock/blues feel and who is also a very accomplished composer and vocalist. This should get you close to Sykes tones. Another thing I forgot to mention is although Sykes did use the dirty fingers pickup he replaced it with a PAF clone years ago and has gotten the same sound. Sykes currently plays with 50 watt Marshall JCM 800 4-holers that don't distort until they are cranked. Depending upon how heavy your string gauge is, this can be pretty tough on your fretting hand, so I'd recommend you work it up gradually over time.Bars 3 to 4 contain the pentatonic/blues-scale stretch idea in which two positions are combined using fast picking and legato. This idea is a great way to extend your licks. In this phrase, which is played on the neck pickup, there are essentially two four-note pentatonic scale 'cells' going on: the first is at the 12 fret and the second is at the 7th fret. EDIT: Just read that John Sykes used a PCM70 for that '87 Whitesnake album. Thats a hell of a lot of pre-amp tubes and power tubes ; ) He gets his tone more from his vibrato and way he voices chords" Yeah.. Listen to some of the leads and you will hear a lot of wammy bar dive bombs. It's so thick, and crunchy....like a good candy bar might be.To my ear, it is quite scooped in the mids. John had Gibson Dirty Fingers pickups in the guitar for many years — including the Lizzy, Whitesnake, and Blue Murder periods — but the pickups eventually crapped out and were replaced with a lower output Gibson PAF re-issue pickup a few years ago.
