  • Was hoping for some smooth lead tones that kick in on some tracks, maybe reverb sustain and delay stuff?

  • Your sounds are great, would appreciate if you went over amp settings for these, particularly how you’re setting your eq on the amp

  • Know what you mean “not country at all “IMO this modern stuff shares more DNA with southern boogie,than Tammy Winett ie skynnerd ,Blackfoot ,black oak Arkansas…go comment ya all

  • Definitely some single coils preferably a telecaster, a clean amp with some compression and delay. Amp doesn't necessarily have to be fender but that is classic choice, but as long as it's got some good clean headroom. I do like the Midland tone, definitely has that 90s country kind of vibe with a mixture of 60s/70s depending on the song. I guess I like that Brent Mason, Albert Lee, Danny gatton kind of vibe.

  • Tele, in to a Fender amp, clean, but ready to break up. Deluxe Reverb, Super? Nice compressor pedal helping out just a little, a few great dirt boxes, Hotwired is my current fav. A little slap, some nice verb and or trem from the amp when possible, with a few extra pedals on tap, MXR Phaise 90 when you gotta bust out some Waylon. Throw a nice boost in to kick up your solos and you're great.

  • Do any modern players dial in those old tones from the David Allen Coe and Waylon records with that phaser? It’s phaser I’m thinking of right, or flanger? ????‍♂️

  • Great video man. Gonna put you on the spot tho.. I want to create a modern country tone. That of say Brad Paisley or Luke Bryan… I have an Ibanez Gio and a Line 6 Spider amp.. no pedals so what settings would you pick to get a more contemporary tone? Thanks for your time and have a great new year! ????

  • Thank you for sharing, Not my kind of country, looking for something more traditional on a Telecaster

  • Really loved this overview of great modern sounds! And the shoutout to session guitar crew. Betting Brent Mason and Tom Bukovac are all over these tracks

  • Howdy, came here as a Helix user looking for a fat modern country tone. You had my attention mentioning Aldean, Gilbert, Combs, Bros Oz. Love to see a more in depth video for this dirty fatty country tone using les pauls or SG's for the meat and potato stuff…..no treble twangy slapback echo.

  • Great vid dude. The hard thing about modern country guitar is the guys making the records are unsung hired guns, and the tones are often dialed in quickly for pay-by-the-hour sessions and are long since forgotten (unless documented on a recall sheet somewhere). Because these guitarists don't get a lot of public spotlight, their tones and musical genius often flies by unnoticed under the pop-esque cliche lyrics and smooth sultry voices of the metro-dude "country" singers. Premier Guitar just did a rig rundown with Brother's Osborne–def check it out!

    Btw, MY fav country guitar tone? Brad Paisley yo.

  • Thanks for the info, very helpful! Wondering about the Aldean tone? Would that be similar to the Brothers Osborne?
