How it’s played

woody mid-rich crunch distortion. This shapes how hard the amp is pushed and where the EQ sits for the All Right Now sound.

What makes the All Right Now part tricky

open chords, feel, vibrato. GuitarToneAdapt gets the tone right so you can focus on the playing.

Note: All Right Now is a woody, mid-forward Les-Paul-into-cranked-Marshall crunch — moderate gain (edge of breakup), mids pushed, no pedals. The character is in the heavy strings, the PAF humbuckers and Kossoff’s vibrato, not in piling on gain., Push the mids, keep gain moderate, and let the amp break up naturally. A Les Paul (or humbuckers) helps the woodiness., Settings are community-researched starting points, not official recall sheets.
