One of GuitarPlayerZen’s main themes is that of developing your own style.  After all, who wants to be a guitar clone?   To truly maximize your guitar potential, you must look within to find your own sound.  One way of doing so is by translating the sounds you hear in your head into your guitar playing.

Maybe you want your guitar to sound more synth-like.  Maybe you are searching for that soul crushing fuzz.  Or using the reverse delay to add some psychedelic swells.

One great way to go about discovering your own soundscapes is to listen to those who have mastered creating their own unique sounds.  One of my personal favorites is guitar ace, Oz Noy.

Check out this clip and see if you can identify which types of effects he is using to create his spontaneous composition:
