During the unrivaled axeman’s solo tour supporting his 2018 album The Atlas Underground, PG’s Chris Kies stood amazed as Tom Morello revealed the tricks that fortified a legacy of riffs in Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave. Plus, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominating committee member (yes, he knows that Iron Maiden needs to be inducted) breaks down how he’s still aiming to shoot the instrument into the future.
The guitar that’s probably most associated with Tom Morello has to be his Frankensteined “Arm the Homeless” “super strat” that he’s had since 1986. Morello admits the story on the guitar’s evolution is murky, but the only thing from the original custom-order instrument is its body. He apparently spent upwards of two years trying every combination of pickups, necks, electronics, and trems to appease his tonal aspirations, but finally settled on honing his craft through practice rather than gear lust. The final conglomeration of parts have been in place for 30 years and includes a set of EMG pickups, a knock-off graphite Kramer neck scooped up from the bargain bin at Nadine’s, and an Ibanez Edge trem/bridge. And as they say, the rest is history. For this one, he uses Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinkys (.009–.046, for all vibrato-equipped guitars) and always grabs Dunlop Tortex Jazz III picks.

Excellent!! Thank you!
He seems to be free from many things I worry about, which guitar, amp, pickup and how to create my tone on this all. He found his tone!
Tommy "rebel without a clue" Moerello, an understudy to the king a clueless rebels Bruce Springstein
Does tom have to replace the pickup selector switches often?
Atdi cut away cut away
I’m not a big Rage fan, though I dig them of course (you’d have to be deaf not to, to some degree), but damn that’s a distinctive sound.
totaly magnificent guy___real revolutionery zound
I can’t describe it but the tone on his tele in this vid sounded like it was in a cardboard box
Tom is a very intelligent man
i love this episode. tom seems so happy to actually talk to someone who's interested in his gear! i mean, i'd be too. i WISH someone would ask me about my rig!
Can his guitar be strapped up any higher on his chest!?!? He looks silly ????????????????
What I'd love.
I know EL-P had produced a whole Zack De La Rocha album that who knows if it will ever be released outside of a few songs.
But, I'd also love a Tom Morello and EL-P project.
Ironic that some people with rage for the machine now. But always knew that morellos playing is objectively amazing no matter what u think about him or any of his band mates he has ever had.
I just found out he went to Harvard….
A real drag that in a tom morello video there are addss up the – love you still Tom
2:10 anybody actually know who it was?
Guys what song was he playing at 21:39
I just admire his attitude of "This is not my dream sound, but I'll take it and see what I can do with it" because every guitarist will know that searching for that "Great Sound" is a fruitless and practically useless venture and would spend years and hundreds of dollars on pedals, guitars, amps just trying to capture the sound they want, and Tom out here just telling himself "Ok I have enough and lemme see where I can take this" coupled with his pedals it's remarkable his tone is so unique it's almost unbelievable
My dude here is phenomenal, but I have to say Tom Morello would have given that heart attack many, many years ago. Straight up, not talking shit, just my opinion. I'm just saying don't forget those who came before.
Harvard ? Lol , yea so streets . Definitely " Raging " against that machine then ……
My personal favorite of Tom's was his screen work in Iron Man. [ j/k ]
/In the theater, I was thinking: Hey… that guy looks like the guitarist of RATM… it can't be, though…
but, yep. It was Tom! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI9cI5I0ANk&t=1s
"Whatever it takes! Except there's two things, I'm never using a clean boost and I'm keeping my Italian leather boots."
RATM, At the drive-in T-shirt and a YPJ sticker on a guitar. It's almost like music is the greatest thing on earth or something
21:36 Tom just casually coming up with one of the dopest sounding riffs/beat/rhythm I've ever heard.
IMHO, the most innovative guitarist since Hendrix
Not sure I've ever heard a wah actually sound like a guy saying "wahhhhh"
Tom's facial expressions at 13:23
"Like a Stone" full guitar solo at 24:15. You're welcome 🙂
Such a Legend. Goodness he’s always been and always will be Amazing.
Great Video.
