Chasing tone is one of the fundamental aspects of being a guitar player. Sure, you want to play the notes right, in the correct order, in time with the beat. But you want them to sound good. Sounding good is… good.
It is also not a given. There are so many factors that can affect your tone, particularly with an electric guitar, that it pays to be mindful of them, taking a holistic look at your gear to troubleshoot and identify where something isn’t working, or where something could sound a little better.
