In today’s video I wanted to answer a question I didn't expect to ask: can a guitar amp designed around one of punks iconic Greenday Dookie tones work for modern R&B and neo-soul?
The Marshall 1959BJA Artist Signature was developed with Billie Joe Armstrong and inspired by the tone that powered Green Day's Dookiee era. On paper, it shouldn't be the first amp you'd reach for when playing clean, expressive R&B guitar.
So, I put Marshall’s first artist signature amplifier in 14 years to the test...
In this demo, I explore how the amp responds to cleaner dynamics, extended chords and more nuanced playing, and whether there's more versatility hiding under the hood than you might expect.

Drift away with this modern atmospheric lofi backing track. You can create beautiful melodies with the use of the E aeolian aka E Natural minor scale.
The E Aeolian scale fits over the entire play-along.
