^ this is true. I remember back when I was in college, I was playing my fender electric in the lunch area (not plugged in) and a fellow student was at the next table. He said "you've always had great tone"... I said thanks, but I was kinda confused since I wasn't plugged in and then I realized he meant the sound of how I hit the notes. He was awesome so I think back at that moment when I feel like I suck
