I think you need to film an entire video on the most influential 80's strat sound. One you yourself might not like the most, but one that defined the era. The Tri-Stereo Chorus sound of session players like Dan Huff. It used to cost $15,000 just to build the studio rack that those guys were using back then. That chorus laden clean tone was EVERYWHERE in pop and rock music and is MUCH more easily attainable on modern equipment than it was back then. Definitely a sound worth showcasing.
If you listen to Stevie’s version of little wing in headphones turned up real loud, you can hear his amp buzzing in the background because he was sitting on his super reverb in the studio. Just Stevie, his #1, a cord, and super reverb. No pedals, no recording tricks, just pure tone and mastery of the Stratocaster.
I doubt he used no pedals at all but if I could be wrong. He used various Tube Screamers and he used a Texas Square Face Fuzz by Cesar Diaz.. he used one or the other for the majority of his lead work.
@@mk_2121 Tyler not mentioning tones like Cliffs of Dover, YJM, Ritchie Blackmore, Rory Gallagher etc. so people are going to make comments about it, thus boosting the algorithm. But yeah don't hate the player, hate the game I guess
Ritchie Blackmore, Robin Trower (Bridge Of Sighs), Uli Roth, Rory Gallagher, Jerry Garcia., And some guy named Jeff Beck who played a Strat better than just about everyone in all of those decades! Those 70's Strat Guys
For modern guys, I love the sound of Chris Buck. Yeah yeah I know he’s on Yamaha now, but he was on Strat for a long time before he decided he wanted to be more unique.
I don’t think you realize how legendary you are in this era Tyler. You inspire people like me to play in front of people one day and to strive the become one of the next greats!
Great to see Kenny Wayne Sheppard on that list! Those two guitar solos on "Blue on Black" give one goosebumps. I know a lot of players give him short shrift but they "forget" he had one of the only 2 blues songs that went to #1 on the pop charts, the other being BB King's "The Thrill is Gone". If KWS wasn't the real deal BB wouldn't have had him open for him on multiple occasions or invited him to sit in with him at BB's annual juke joint birthday gig in Indianola, MS.
Yup true I discovered Rory Gallagher from TH-cam. He’s is the one who got me interested to buy myself a Stratocaster because I love his tone, sound, & playing. My favorite is Cradle Rock (1974).
Bryan adams/keith scott has to be two of my favourite strat players. The tones they achieve on albums like Reckless and Waking up the neighbours and songs like Its only love and Run to you always perk up my ears 🤘
As someone who has only been able to afford two guitars in his life and the Fender Strat being my first, this video really meant alot to me! Keep killing it man! ROCK ON!!

Hey Tyler, great video…. …I felt I needed to ado a few more (mostly my heroes): Hank Marvin Richie Blackmore Yngwie Malmsteen Jeff Beck Eric Johnson Rory Gallagher Robin Trower Btw: I’m a super Strat nerd myself with a 1961 Strat-also awarded “StratKing of Europe” in 2004 when the Stratocaster turned 50… Greetings from Germany 😊
Nice video. One quick note, Eldon Shamblin received the first Stratocaster and he played that until he died decades later. It's on a lot of Bob Wills tunes.
Most of the artists you mentioned are why I bought a Strat in the first place. Got the American Pro 2 70th Anniversary Strat earlier this year...worth it.
I would also include rory Gallagher, blackmore, fast Eddie clarke, Eddie hazel, SRV , yngwie malmsteen, dave Murray, mike Rutherford, ron asheton and eric johnson
Steve Rothery of Marillion absolutely love his tone, so spacey, atmospheric and emotive for me! Love to know your thoughts Love your videos, keep rocking 🙂🤘
@@StingrayMk1 there's an interview with Steve on "That pedal show" you tube channel where Steve demonstrates his pedal board. His first guitar was a Japanese Squier Strat which was deemed to be better than Fender at the time. he states that the guitar was on albums that sold about 8 million copies and cost him very little. glad there's more Steve fans out there🙂
I have that exact same guitar you're playing. The push push tone knob is to add your neck pickup to your bridge pickup, selector position 2 activates all 3 pickups. P.S. im not crazy about the tone of the V mods in an edge of breakup setting.
I'm biased because I own one, but I really like that Amercian Pro II, especially with the rosewood fingerboard. That amber burst is so classic IHMO. Nails classic and modern tones, and the sculpted heel is way better than that square corner with metal and screws jamming into your palm!
For me here are some of the best Strat tones per decade not mentioned in this video 50's Ritchie Valens' riff on La Bamba 60's Hank Marvin of The Shadows - almost all of their early 60s hits, but I choose "Shindig" George Harrison of The Beatles - the solo on "Nowhere Man" 70's Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple - "Smoke On The Water" Nile Rodgers of Chic - any of the group's hits but I choose "Le Freak" amazing tones - no amp! Ulit Jon Roth then of Scoprions - the riff and solo on "The Sails of Charon" 80's Dann Huff - his rhythm playing on Amy Grant's "Wise Up" Yngwie J. Malmsteen - "I'll See The Light, Tonight" 90's Mike McCready of Pearl Jam - his solo on "Alive" Richie Sambora then of Bon Jovi - "Bed Of Roses" Eric Johnson - a toss with "Manhattan" or "East Wes"
Well, small mistake at 0:09, it's the 70th anniversary of the Stratocaster model, Fender (brand) celebrated the 75th anniversary in 2021, making it 78 now.
It is indeed the 70th anniversary of the Fender Stratocaster this year. But of course they had lap steels, amps and the Telecaster before that. Fender likes to come up with reasons to sell more guitars. So just wait for the 80th anniversary models in just two years.....same stuff all over again.
Great video! Good of you to include KWS. I would have said Nile Rogers rather than Daft Punk. How about a metal player like Fast Eddie Clarke of Motorhead? Keep up the great work!
Flashback to 1995 and my dad surprised me with my first electric at the local father-son owned shop. I had to chose between a tele, or strat (Washburn copies). I figured the contoured body and 3 pickups was better.
It's funny, i bought a used made in India Squier Strat sss a few years ago and swapped in an hss setup. Just a few weeks ago I put it back to stock and been loving the tones. If i had to choose one guitar, i could only own or play one guitar for the rest of my days, it would be my Strat. I play it clean on a Boss Katana 100 and love it so much that i look for solos played on a strat...and there's A LOT to choose from!
Great nomination. I completely agree. I was stunned to learn recently to learn that DM uses mostly the middle position on his strat plus. The only other player I can think of that does this is Clapton.
@@knutroadie That's funny, I've used the neck position on my Strat all my life, then I recorded some stuff on the middle position and I was like "Hey, this sounds like Built to Spill!"
It would have been nice if Sweetwater sent you an anniversary '54 model. Anyway, it is hard for me to pinpoint a single tone, I have too many favorites to name one above the rest. Thanks for the video Tyler.
Strat tones are awesome, but I might be just a little biased.😁 Some others that I would add in there would be Dave Murray, Ritchie Blackmore, and Yngwie Malmsteen. You probably would have gotten copyright strikes from all though.😁
Great video however, you should 100% do a video on the strat tones of Simon Neil from Biffy Clyro. Seriously unreal how he gets such a heavy sound out of a strat. Simon was on That Pedal Show a while back.
you should check out Doll Chaser, neat lil punk band from Minnesota and a lot of the guitars are recorded on a strat. Listen to Call Girl, Poison, and No Contact for those strat neck pickup tones

Ritchie Blackmore during Rainbow... 200w Marshalls major helps too :-)
The knockoff strat I can afford to play. We can't all be sponsored by Sweetwater...
David Gilmour big muff tone
John Mayer's Where The Light Is
If you listen to Stevie’s version of little wing in headphones turned up real loud, you can hear his amp buzzing in the background because he was sitting on his super reverb in the studio. Just Stevie, his #1, a cord, and super reverb. No pedals, no recording tricks, just pure tone and mastery of the Stratocaster.
Pretty sure he used effects but I may be wrong
I doubt he used no pedals at all but if I could be wrong. He used various Tube Screamers and he used a Texas Square Face Fuzz by Cesar Diaz.. he used one or the other for the majority of his lead work.

George Harrison of The Beatles - the solo on "Nowhere Man"
70's
Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple - "Smoke On The Water"
Nile Rodgers of Chic - any of the group's hits but I choose "Le Freak" amazing tones - no amp!
Ulit Jon Roth then of Scoprions - the riff and solo on "The Sails of Charon"
80's
Dann Huff - his rhythm playing on Amy Grant's "Wise Up"
Yngwie J. Malmsteen - "I'll See The Light, Tonight"
90's
Mike McCready of Pearl Jam - his solo on "Alive"
Richie Sambora then of Bon Jovi - "Bed Of Roses"
Eric Johnson - a toss with "Manhattan" or "East Wes"
Stevie Ray Vaughan. Pride and Joy. Such an amazing sound

you should check out Doll Chaser, neat lil punk band from Minnesota and a lot of the guitars are recorded on a strat. Listen to Call Girl, Poison, and No Contact for those strat neck pickup tones
I love strats
