Trey's guitar tone > Barber's guitar tone

I'm not sure there is really any debate about this either
You might argue that Barber is more technically proficient (you'd be wrong, but you could argue it), but his sound is inherently inferior. It's not something you can quantify really, Trey just plays his guitar better. The sounds that come out are superior. It's got personality. You can pick out a Trey guitar lick no problem. Barber...eh not so sure it'd be as easy to. His tone is pretty standard. Generic.
Trey's got soul coming through his fingers. Baber just sort of repeats riffs over and over again, then the jam peaks and he just sort of plays that same riff faster, and then that's it. The interesting stuff, not the ragers, the slower type II spur of the moment, need real inspiration to come up with interesting music sort of stuff is no contest. Barber is no where near as inventive.
Barber is a fine guitar player, but he just doesn't have the tone Trey does. Trey ain't what he used to be, but if we're comparing whole careers, peak guitar abilities to peak guitar abilities, Trey pretty much destroys Barber. No contest.

Barber's tone is one of the most recognizable tones in the hambland scene. If you played someone 10 barber jamz and 10 Trey jamz, they would be able to pick out Barbers 10 times out of 10 times.
Barber is better and that's final

MIKE HOLDS STEADY WITH THE DOOMP DE DOOMP DOOMP AH DOOM DOOM DOOMP, WHILE FISH GETS IN YOUR PATCHWORK PANTS POCKET WITH THE JUNGLE GROOVE, DISMANTLING YOUR SANITY, AKA A SONG ON JUNTA. THAT IS THE GUITAR TONE.

maybe 15 years ago, but not now IMO
Trey is shell of his former self.

A lot of people would say that about Barber as well.
Face it kids, Tommy Hamilton is the king of the jam guitar scene in 2014.

trey used to have "fire" in his playing. It seems like 3.0 is pretty uninspired. maybe it's the lack of drugs.

This is IT!!!
It's time to fricking finalize this once and for all.
BARBER v. TREY: NEW YEAR's EVE SHOWDOWN
New York v. Miami
Who ever has the most impressive run on NYE wins the crown as TD MB Hambland Guitar King.
I think this is the only way to truly settle this.
I look forward to all the moanin' and groanin' when you get Fuego'd on New Years and the Bisco Mafia is just grinning and grooving with Cheesesteaks and K

3.0 Trey sucks
the awesome thing is Trey will probably kill it and blow Barber out of the water. and Trey's not even good anymore. lol.

ok then. I like barber's guitar tone better because of the beckerman guitar he plays and the hollowbody. I think those are far superiorly made instruments than the ax trey uses.

disagree. he's still one of the best guitarists, he's just not elite anymore.
essentially he's drew brees without the scar.

That's not happening.
Barber will frick around and it will still be 1000x better than being dad rock'd to death
