Episode #226 Is TONE really all in the Fingers?

Ben Martin

In this episode of The Blues Guitar Show Podcast, we dive deep into the world of guitar tone. Is tone really in the fingers, or does your gear play a bigger role? We break down the essential elements—amps, pedals, pickups, and playing techniques—to help you dial in the perfect blues sound. From the warm breakup of Fender Tweed amps to the legendary sustain of a Tube Screamer, we explore how to shape your tone and find your unique voice on the guitar. Whether you're chasing the raw sound of Lightnin’ Hopkins or the smooth sustain of B.B. King, this episode is packed with tips to get you there.
