I want these lessons to be as accessible as possible for you. It can be frustrating playing along to a YouTube lesson only to find that your own equipment doesn't sound anything like the rig that is being used. With that in mind, I have recorded these examples using the following equipment, which I feel are pretty humble. You should be able to get similar results using a comparable modelling amp (such as a Boss Katana 50 MkII) and an entry level guitar (such as an Epiphone or Squier).
