What should rock guitar sound like? Exactly like this......

I like the Phil X videos on Youtube, he's a great personality and plays some mean guitar, but this one in particular caught my attention. The clarity yet huge amount of balls that he gets in this video is my idea of the perfect rock guitar sound. Awesome stuff! 

Suffragette City by David Bowie/Mick Ronson - Guitar cover/lesson - MG005

Having left the Classic Rock cover band I’d been playing in for a few years, I thought it would be useful to document the guitar parts of the songs as we had arranged for the line-up of single guitar, bass, drums and vocals.

When learning tunes for bands my preference is to do lots of research, learn the parts as close to the original and then tweak to either suit the band arrangement or my playing style.
