the first effect i wish to mimic if the chello/violin type sound often used in classically influenced sollos by peeps like melmsteen. it seems to be effects only no special technique
the seccond is basically how can i acheve slightly distorted sustain similar to that used my santana or slash on single notes.. the only way ive found so far is get a big fender twin reverb amp and turn up the gain p... but this makes it sound like im rattleing trash cans every time i move my fingers on the fretboard... id like it nice and clean so i can be subtle
will my choice of amy effect this??
can u stil practice with sustain on a practice amp?
i realise the type of neck/strings will of course effect the sustain.
any help would be apreciated
