There have been many replies to the original post and only a few mention the
players own technique, this is one of the most essential ingredients to the
tonal quality that you get from your playing.
There are so many variables in the final sound, guitar, strings, amplifier,
venue and the one that seems to have been missed (unless I have not seen it
mentioned) is the choice of plectrum - This plays a HUGE part in the overall
tone that you get when playing. IMHO it is worth spending some time on this
before you decide what else you require to do, it is by far the least
expensive change you can make to your overall rig and yet the choice of
plectrum material and weight can be very dramatic. Hope this helps.
Best wishes to all and thanks for a great site, I never get tired of reading
the views of contributors and so far I have never taken exception to
anything that has appeared (after all we do not want to be the only site on
the web that has censorship do we?) or is that a matter for another post?
Keep smiling and when you can't keep taking the tablets.
