Here are some things I can't get the tone of, but would like to. Anyone know how to get any of these?

That CCR solo sound....the best example of which is in Suzie Q

Money For Nothing by the Dire Straits

Peace Frog by the Doors

CCR is basically tube amps turned up to just above that breaking point where tube saturation kicks in. Les Paul or Strat would be handy too.

Money for Nothing - Mark uses a Les Paul with the neck pickup for that one. As for amps or effects, don't know...but whenever he plays this song its on the Les Paul.
