Like we say in Ohio, A good player can make crap sound good, but a bad player
sounds bad no matter what they play. It is easy to hide behind effects. Of
course learning to play with others is a job in itself. I try to generate 
ost
of my sound with the fingers. Of course everyone is looking for the magic 
pill.
One thing that will make me sound good *8^). I just know if I had a full 
tack
and a guitar that costs over $1000, I would have to sound good.
