Perhaps many of you under-estimate, (ok, I'm assuming, because i once did not) the importance of tone.
Ever since i started out on the guitar a few years back, i have absolutely negated the existence of tone. I have heard of it, and completely ignored it. Like any hot blooded teenager (no offense) I was hardly bothered with sound. It was all about showmanship and techniques; as long as there's the guitar, the amp, I've got all i need!
Only sometime back a very good mate of mine - who in the army greatly enlightened me - taught me the importance of tone.
This was when i really discovered Music. This was a sobering experience; instantaneously the imagery of fingers flying off frets became fleeting. i grew more accustomed to imagery like creamy , hot , warm, bright, twangy.
There is not one perfect tone; it actually all depends on preference. What kind of tone sounds pleasing to you.
