Welcome to Guitar Tips! In this first episode, we’re going to go over how to get classic Fender Stratocaster tones inspired by Jimi Hendrix, Eric Johnson, David Gilmour, John Mayer, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Mark Knopfler and Jeff Beck with one basic setup, and just using the volume and tone of the guitar. My rig consists of a Fender Super Reverb and a Wampler Velvet Fuzz!

Awesome playing, brother. Great tones.
Great video showing the versatility of the strat. Now please give us the same for the tele in a deluxe reverb…plleeaasseeee!
For middle setting, what about Jerry Garcia? Jerry Garcia Wolf tones is all middle pickup !!
Tasty! Helpful, too – I need to play with volume vs OD a bit more. I have had the FGN Blue Strat that came with the Roland GR 300 in 1981 + the Hot Cake Pedal since mid '70s (made by a friend of mine in NZ, Paul Crowther – I now use his Double Hot Cake – I believe Mark Knopfler used one early on) + a 50W Fender Head w 2 x 12" Cab but these last few years an oldish Blues Junior which is great in the studio. Thanks for the fun vid!
Sorry for my ignorance but: how comes you can have tonecontrol on both bridge and middle pickup? Nice demo btw!
Pretty cool.
Distilled knowledge here!
Premium content!
Thank you for your time doing this!
A candy apple red strat ????
To my ears, the overdrive/distortion on the guitar sounds unauthentic. Over the top. It’s a problem with using pedals.
A great reminder of how many options are at hand with the pickup selector and tone and volume controls.
Awesome video have a great day Jack ????????❤
Excellent!
My new Strat and I thank you.

I don't have a Stratocaster but I watched anyways. Fun video. And since you asked, if I had a Stratocaster I would probably play it through my 150 watt Music Man amp mostly because I think it would have more potential for tones best suited specifically for a Stratocaster than the other two amps I have (a small Supro tube amp and a 50s Champ reissue) but also after I bought my Music Man amp I heard Mark Knopfler used one on the first couple Dire Straits albums and Eric Clapton used one on Slowhand and Backless (there's even a Music Man amp on the cover of Backless which I didn't know until recently because a long time ago my dad lost the cover for his copy of Backless which is now my copy of Backless) and those were probably my two favorite Stratocaster clean tones I've heard.
Great video Jack, I’ve got a love/hate relationship with my Strats. I picked up a Mesa Boogie Filmore 25 about 6 months ago on the recommendation of a friend of mine. I noticed this is one of the amps you have linked on your website, how do you like it? I get great tones out of it with my Les Paul Custom but haven’t quite been able to dial in any of my Strats. Any suggestions? Hope you and your family are doing well, and like me I bet you’re grateful to have an awesome wife.
Key to the Highway from the Derek and the Dominos Live album is insane. That’s from the Music Man period. There’s a breakdown section in the song where the band is quietly jamming and as they kick it back in, with a good pair of headphones, I swear I can almost hear Claptons amps getting ready to burst into flames. I don’t know how familiar you are with that particular version Jack but it’s worth a close listen.
From Leo: Good tips, You have a real gift to know how to get the sounds with fine adjustments of set up. With all the Different pickup options on the Strat, the original 3 pickup version does not get that much attention. The 5 position switch with the reverse wound middle really did help. Knopfler straight to J.J. Cale/Clapton without a hickup, pretty impressive!
I love the middle pick up these days. Almost never played it in the 2000s and 2010s. Its the most balanced pickup on the strat.
While editing, it would have been better if you had put the talking and playing back to back.. (i know it's more work & you upload frequency so i also understand)
These type of videos are why I watch J.F.
Thanks. You're all right, man.
