    Anders gives us an introductory lesson of how to get great tone with your open chords. Originally, amps didn't have both master volume and gain; they only had a volume control, and when you turned it up really loud it would distort. But that's inconvenient, so people started using a master volume to compensate, or used overdrive pedals to simulate the sound of the amp breaking up.
    It's important to note that the more of this overdrive effect you add, the more your voicings will start sounding cluttered and messy. This means you'll have to adapt your voicings to work well with this tone, and that's what he'll show you in the following lessons.

      Volume is volume, tone will be for how bright/muddy the sound will be, and drive will make the amp overdriven and 'crunchy.' Play with the settings to really learn what your amp can do!
