How /comfy/ are you tonight?
p90s are the cockroaches that last
tfw still have to restring my tele for the gig and check the zoom g1's patches in case their shitty amp dont have distortion and i have to use my multifx
I hate the blues and shred boomers but the faux jazz faggots with their neosoul and fusion shit will be unbearable once they reach memestatus and old age like their predecessors

Guitar sommeliers unanimously agree that Deaners are the least welcome guitarists at any party.
Who is your favorite acoustic guitarist?
Douglas Pearce or maybe John Fahey. I don't know a lot about acoustic.
I know that he's a bit of a hippie retard, but I'm hard-pressed to find someone whose purely acoustic work I enjoy more than John Butler
"Neo-soul" is just the new way of saying Smooth Jazz.
To return home to see an anime thread up... Really motivates me to practice. And practice I will.
Thanks OP

I want one for my tele neck
>bass color
Gay.
>sticker
Classless.
That’s an awesome bass. I have a surf green pj bass and a Markbass amp. Nice setup dude.
should i get this bass
>aluminum neck
No.
Yes because Queen, and they’re pretty indestructible.
>Markbass
Niiiice mate
Oh no an anumu poster doesn't like my bass
Thanks dude I refinished it myself
Is it just my ears or do markbass amps sound brighter than other companies?
>I refinished it [that color] myself
Hell yea, been thinking about doing this to an old jazz bass I’ve got. No idea what color though.
I’d say so, I wouldn’t say they’re as bright as GK or Genz-Benz but definitely brighter than Ampeg or Aguilar.
HAVE YOU MADE YOUR DAILY BLOOD OFFERING TO THE SPIRIT OF EARL SCRUGGS TODAY? HE PREFERS YOUNG BLOOD, I USE STRAY KITTENS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Do it, as long as you're okay with it not turning out perfect. Mine looks good from far away but it gets scary when you get close.
Any tips/tricks for guitarfags who are starting to learn bass? I can't seem to quite nail muting strings when I'm playing with my fingers, I can do it just fine with a pick though.
I bet even Samuel could do a better job than this. Sad!
if you're note good at sanding and dont own a buffing will it'll come out like shit
yeah I almost wanna get an orbital sander and give it another go.
>hes still making shit up and believing it
Tommy Emanuel. brutal acoustic playing
great reasoning! thanks for your constructive criticism
>tfw I was too nervous and didn't join a jam yesterday
I hate myself
Aluminum necks are vastly inferior to wooden necks from a tuning stability standpoint.
I'm copping that sweet SVT tone with my SansAmp VT Bass DI looking to get a dirtier sound. The gain on the pedal is good and all but I'm looking to add another pedal to the parallel output, I'm between ZVex Basstortion because it's modeled after an SVT or an Earthquaker Devices Acapulco Gold because I've heard they sound sweet through an Ampeg.Open to suggestions.
Nobody actually pays any attention to the root notes you play. You don't need pedals.
What currency is that in?
no they arent NPC
Ah damn, I don’t have my reaction images handy
HAHAHA AW YEAH BROTHER IT'S BANJO TIME
The EQD pedal is great
I’d reccomened the Aguilar Agro above that tho

That's a good thing! also preference in video games is subjective and e-celebs are cancer :)
AW H*CK YEAH BROTHER WHEN I PLAY THE 'JOLELE I FEEL LIKE A GIANT HAHA WOOOOOOOOO
I'm so sick of fucking anime. I get its an anime website but fuck why do we need anime girls on everything. And worse its invading other, better types of drawing and animation, Why must that shitty aesthetic invade everything? Every time I see an anime girl I just instantly hide the thread unless its a general.
Oh nooo brother, keep it short and simple. No need to be adding anything else
I don't actually mind anime at all, it's pretty inoffensive, truth be told.
Weeaboos deserve the gas chamber though
>cope
At least you stopped trying to convince people that it doesn’t match because they’re different wood types
They are different woods.

Good one retard samefag.

You’ve already lost the argument.
kek now i see what you meant. he's still replying too. pic related. the sooner everybody learns to filter and ignore these desperate chodes the sooner they'll wither up and disappear forever. just don't reply it's not that big a deal imho
youtube.com
hey look, its a pro playing outside with an aluminum neck and it isnt going out of tune.
Dont be an NPC and you wont get btfo'd like one
Watch this
Holy fuck EQ is a miracle. Now I can actually hear the guitar layers.
How does this sound? instaud.io
How the fuck do you even name instrumentals?
I never really listened to Slipknot back in like middle School when all my friends did but I actually kind of like them giving them a listen after all this time. Why is this
Nice sample size, and nice documentation of what preparatory work went into the guitar before he played it on stage there. is an accurate post.
Try double tracking your layers a bit but do it with a slightly different tone that can somewhat compliment the original. But nice job with the eq/stereo work, everything was fairly clear and defined, just each part sounded a bit thin
lmao keep crying NPC
this is an 18+ website user
So much this. The *ONLY* thing shitty trolls and tripfags can't stand is to be ignored. Everyone in /gg/ should give pic related a try for two or three weeks and watch what happens, they'd be so amazed. Common sense says once you've recognized a problem the next step is to take action but in this case it's actually inaction for the most part because things works weird like that on Yea Forums. Reporting off-topic shitposts, ignoring on-topic shitposts, and hiding them works every time.
>out of sight, out of mind
These threads could be so much better but everyone involved would have to show some self-restraint in order for that to happen.
Just keep in mind that you make a choice every time you choose to reply, just make better choices. It's that simple.
Which players are known for playing the middle position or middle pickup most of the time?

Yea Forums is a festering mung heap, but /gg/ had something going on. seriously, purge newfags
I've had guitars for years and years (since I was a kid), I'd strum a few chords and play a few riffs and be content as I didn't really listen to that much technical music.
I recently decided to get good at this, learn some theory and actually play some intermediate level songs, nothing too intense like performing.
I've been trying to learn a single song for at least a couple of months now, practicing an average of an hour a day (won't play for 3 days, then I'll play for 3-4 hours like today).
I'm still struggling to progress and get that one song down however, is this normal? It's nothing extremely shreddy but it's got some parts with long stretches, fast chord changes and a lot of slidding and a bit of tapping even, things that I generally never worked on.
Is this progress too slow, should I give up? I really want to do this but it's disheartening...

A little everyday is better than a lot on one day with nothing on others even if it averages out to the same.
Which song?
based
i just did an edit of that image to make the same point a few weeks ago. an attentionfag can't exist without you in the equation. remove your attention and they die. all you have to do is make a conscious decision to let them die
And? Every natural finish strat that has a neck and body that match uses different woods, genius. They just gave a damn when they made them
Friday night is Metal Mania night
Ash and maple have different tones. You can't match them with a natural finish. Maybe tint one, but then it's not natural.

I love that other anons are posting my shoops :) everyone is more than welcome to use them
Nigga youre not eveb arpeggiating the chords or embellishing them. Its just a shitty strum. Not exciting at all. A dull ass cadence and strumming pattern.

There's more autism on this general than all /vg/ together.
i've been using your practice routine and am at least 1% less shit
Any good practice ideas for taking triads through modulations or any other triad based exercises to mess around with? Also looking for some ideas on making arpeggios more familiar, so far I've been taking two seventh chord types through the circle of fifths/fourths + shedding changes to standards I'm working on
this is an undeniable fact
Whats a good amp between 500-900$? I want to upgrade from modulation amps
only like 150 more posts before the best part of these threads
what color should I paint it gg?
god why do teles look so RIGHT with 2 humbuckers?
what do you want to play
damn that color was nice already why did you strip it
also shell pink
i second the shell pink nom
Seafoam green.
Because I drunkenly sanded it by hand
and the finish was sketchy as hell. I'm considering just repainting it the same color. But I'm also looking at other colors since I have the option.
That was the plan before I originally painted it surf green but I was afraid I'd get tired of it.
>/gg/ - Guitar & Bass General
>hardly any discussion about guitar or bass
how could you get tired of a pink or a green guitar? those are legit the two best colors available

Siiick. Yeah shell pink and that would be dope. Rosewood board? Man, I got the Fender bass bug again

im not playing flats reeeeeeee
11/10 nice cat great color pickguard combo
Yeah id rather use it but it has this huge gap that you can see straight through to the motherboard thing. I guess these wine red active deluxes came with these stock but this one just doesnt fit perfect.
it happens, mang
looks pretty damn modified, what pickups are those?
I think just stock active deluxe ones. The G used to be quiet until i put higher gauge (medium ddadario flats) on it. Same with my Tele, once I put 11's on it actually sounded good.
oh i didnt know fender started using single poles on the active pickups, what the fuck
>what do you want to play
I'll take that as "What do you play". Folk, Shoegaze (So they say), Noise, Alternative and "Indie"
bump again 4 face fren
assuming you have pedals already id try to find a used fender twin. it can truly do anything besides metal if you put the right pedals in front of it. the silverfaces can be found used for some really great prices. check reverb and ebay
I'll consider it
Thanks
I don't always get the luxury to play every day, it's not like I wouldn't do so if I could, it's practically where any little free time I have goes right now.
Goose by Polyphia
Lol no, it’s called a tinted finish smart guy, and the quality of the maple
Whats a good compliment to the EVH bridge pickup on a HSH guitar?
Also has anyone tried those Harley benton fusions yet? Between the floyd rose and tuners it seems like youd make money buying it. There has to be something seriously wrong at that price point.
Considering the electrical outlets on the wall are north american, the language on the stickers seems to be french, and the $ sign is used, i would guess leaf dollars
Actually, while he wasn't particularly helpful about it, aluminium necks really are a bad idea. Most wooden necks require a new setup with significant environmental changes because they react to heat and humidity. Aluminium is so sensitive to temperature changes that it's very difficult to keep the guitar in a stable setup, let alone in tune, even if you stay in the same country/season.
I would check the guitar and avoid it if it has an aluminium neck.
How long have you been playing /gg/?
And how long did it take you to get reasonably good
12 years.
I'll tell you when I find out.
what options do I have if I want a guitar for everything else it has but the neck is a disgusting yellow gloss finish and the headstock is laminated?
If it has a bolt-on neck, just get a different neck. If it's one-piece, throw the whole guitar in the trash and get a new guitar.
it’s an upper end Pacifica and buying new already makes that expensive enough without a new neck
I could just upgrade one of the low end models but I’d basically change the whole guitar and I’m not sure if it’s worth doing if it means I’ll like the look. as far as I know I’d have to upgrade the jack plate, pickguard, all pickups, nut, tuners, trem, saddle, so basically the entire fucking guitar just to lose that gloss neck hopefully for the same cost
24 years.
I was playing in bands after a year and a half.
bass 3 years, good after sub 1 year
guitar 2 years, good after 1.5 years (oops)
haven’t joined a band because most players don’t know music theory, making ideas incredibly difficult to communicate and honestly many aren’t committed so i just became a multi instrumentalist
How much should i be spending on a compressor pedal?
I dont mind dropping a decent bit of cash but surely theyre all going to be kinda samey from like 70 onwards
the only guitar teacher near me teaches classical guitar
is it worth going to if I want to learn electric or can I get far enough using online resources which are free/paid?
is it easier to learn guitar then bass or vice versa?
i definitely had a harder time learning guitar but i never felt demotivated during the process and i am actually glad i learned bass first because it makes the basslines i write not sound like the role was given to a shitty guitarist
what would you recommend to start with if I can’t decide and most likely playing alone?
bass
>basics are easier
>bass amp can eventually be used as a guitar amp, bass can’t into guitar amp
>improve rhythm, something many guitarists don’t know shit about
>most bands can’t find a bass player, making you valuable
>groovy bass parts makes the pretty girls dance for you
Should I get a classic vibe tele or spend a little more and get a MIM tele?
Honestly think the classic vibes are way better than the mexicans. Suprised you found one for cheaper than a MIM actually
thanks
did you learn with a teacher or online?
do you think learning both at the same time could work or would it interfere with each other?
is there a lot you can do alone should you not find a band?
learning with a teacher isn’t an option for me but are there any highly recommended free/paid online resources which are well structured?
My classic vibe is so much better than my classic player strat which is double the price.
i’m completely self taught, i’d assume both would work fine but i can’t answer that because i’ve never been in a lesson room
>scott’s bass lessons
>joe rocha 60 second bass
>musiccollegetv bass
i’m going to be honest i did not follow a strict curriculum but i immensely recommend the 3 channels i listed above.
if you don’t find a band you can still technically fiddle around with a drum loop and throw chords on it but unless you know music theory songwriting will be hard. it can be done without it, but learning basic theory makes everything much much easier.
couldn't you just refinish the neck?
Is there any sensible reason a guitar should cost this much?
reverb.com
inflated labour costs

Should I give up guitar and start taking bass lessons? instaud.io
okay, so I play a lot of guitar. The c major chord is my favorite chord and i like that the c major scale is c d e f g a b
Does it bother anybody else that there's a huge difference between someone farting with no kaka in their butt vs. somebody farting with kaka lodged in their butt? it's like a loggy smell that farts up through your nostrils. You literally smell air that has wafted by somebody else's kaka and picked up particles of assy shit.
Also, i'm thinking of getting a telecaster. Any reason why I shouldn't pull the trigger?
Telecasters aren't for retards like you. Dean is more your style.
Why is complete mastery of the fretboard so hard?
just print out a fretboard with notes and tape it to your computer, that's what I do.
Also, i bought a hollowbody so that I could sneakily sneak logs of my own shit into the guitar for that genuine kaka sound. I can post a vocaroo if you would like.
what is the meme about deans?
For every hour you let go by without total dedication to advancing, there are a hundred people out there that are totally dedicated, those are the people that will get the gig

>it sounds like a kid rock/kiss country rock power ballad
Oh well, if it's a hit then who cares. How do I find out if it already exists? Already googled the lyrics and came up empty.
How long would it take to learn every pattern in this book?
Just be sure to stay the fuck away from the CAGED system
I noticed my legs weak and shaky and I was afraid of doing larger dance moves and jumping around but I played my parts well and the gig went fine. Then I was unable to trade a minute of words with the drummer's female friend and they just turned their back
Thanks, I'm so motivated now
Why didn't you ask the kiss fan here? I'm offended and won't help even if you ask now.
Speak for yourself
No. Go ahead and kys kaka poster.
After two years I already could play kiss alive!
Try "you sound so shreddy!!"
Idk, I don't know pedals because I didn't need one to gig last night.
Thank god Jcumfag/Lmao isn't on the discord.
Fuck yeah I first gigd after two years and it was great. I'm thinking of joining a second band because it's so rewarding. It increases the chances of some girl kissing me after the show despite my flaming depression and antisocialness.
>oh maybe if I get another band I'll finally get to kiss a girl

It's worth it. A real teacher will always be better than online resources. Even if you don't want to play classical guitar now, you might enjoy it down the road. Most techniques you can transfer to your electric noodling at home anyway. Fusion music is coolest music.
who cares about normies anyway, not I
make her happy .. uwu
>should i buy a blues driver?
yes the muff into a blues driver is gold. i would actually recommend either the waza edition or the keeley phat mod for more of that bottom end

speaking of muff + plus overdrive, post your favorite pair of pedals. you know that ones when you combined them make that magic sound.
for me it's ratt into a muff.

>ZVex Basstortion
They have a Sunn styled boost pedal Has anyone on this thread use one before? is the regular super duper any good?
why does the first string never ring out when i do barre chords??
How do you guys stay motivated to practice? I just learned about Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000 hour rule and realized how much i’ve been slacking, have to make sure that doesn’t happen again...
i was practicing my bass just now when i accidentally pressed the headstock against a table and it amplified the bass loudly. does that mean it's good wood and i should make a guitar out of it?
haha try better, loser. i have the best vibrato of all of /gg/.
go for intervals for they're easier to memorize visually and mentally
because youre not pressing it correctly idiot. why would it be? magical reasons?
>it sounds like a kid rock/kiss country rock power ballad

can anyone ID the guitar at 59s?
You’re just going to have to play both and decide which one you like better, and invest the most time in that one. If you have already done that, just pick which one will be more beneficial to you. I wouldn’t suggest investing equal time into both, bc you’ll only be alright at both, instead of being great at one which is the better choice imo
schecter hellraiser c-1
I couldn’t be more on the fence if I tried.
How do I know which is more beneficial to me?
Bass is more beneficial if you want to play with people, guitar (specifically acoustic) is better for playing solo
Sam is the best player is gg
>my lead guitar was as quiet as the bass, and the singer's out of tune guitar was the loudest thing
fuck reee
make sure to eq your entire band before a show, i too learned this the hard way
we did a check before the show along with the club's tech
next time i'll be very clear with the club's sound guy that i am the lead player and that my guitar should be louder than the other.
based sound guy keeping lead guitarists in check
You won't succeed unless you enjoy it. There's no end goal here, just play if you enjoy mastering this skill and you eventually get there, if you don't enjoy it you never this you're better served getting another hobby.
Just think about what you want to get out of learning to play, if you wanna be in the spotlight and be a songwriter guitar is probably the way to go (writing with a guitar is a lot easier then with a bass) if you want to be a support role bass is better. Or if you’re planning to make a career out of this playing guitar might make it an easier road.

>Only comfortable playing resting it on my left leg
>Every single fucking guitar in the world that isn't a flying V or something like it is uncomfortable and slips around too much unless you use a strap or the dumb footstool
Is electric guitar meant to be played with a strap? Playing on the right leg like all the youtube dudes gives me bad wrist cramps.
My favourite past time is repeatedly playing the same riff over and over as I get used to it while watching Netflix on the couch.
This will be a great Saturday night.
Most definitely, just get a strap. Playing without it is so annoying for me.
...
at least my guitar was in tune
nobody needs to hear strummed chords the entire gig over the nice lead fills
guitar is better for making a career out of it even though bass is needed more?
Alone doesn't imply lonely, I only get a day every couple of months to be by myself, of course I'll savour it.
Can anyone rec me more shit like plini and chon?
Sithu Aye, Covet.
You might want to give the dumb footstool a chance, but you could also try pic related if you don't want to wear a strap. don't know if an electric is big enough for it to work, but it can't hurt to give it a try

how was your gig sam
i’m honestly not sure, guitar probably would be better but it probably depends as well. I would probably just look into more reliable resources since I don’t know very much about the business of being a musician
I have trouble remembering things on piano but not on guitar
ok except that the singer put his guitar louder and i was a submissive cuck and didnt tell him to quieten it
>Having serious troubles with the A chord
Give it to me straight lads, I'm not going to make it am I
you haven't built reference points.
everybody struggles with chords at first user, just stick with it
i'm digging some charlie parker
Thank you, very cool king Sam
Anime used a THR10 for bass?
I’ve heard you can and there’s actually a bass setting for it on other forums but just wanted experiences with it.
are you digging his A5s?
This is your mind hyped up on too much anime
is that some gay slang for rawdogging a tranny?
>lmao it's a minor im so smart
justinguitar has 3 ways for fingering the A chord, unless you have hooves you should find one way that works

Hey user.
Bitch
good bass players who know their shit and have an airtight groove are always needed. Nobody will care about your solos as much as the guitarists but that's part of the deal.
personally learning bass and guitar together has helped me a ton. I gravitate toward guitar just because it's more in the range I hear, but learning each one helps the other. Bass will help your hand strength and groove, guitar will help with your chordal vocabulary and understanding of harmony. You can learn about harmony/theory up to a proficient level with either instrument on it's own, but there's a compounding effect when you're looking at the same thing from different perspectives.
You'll more than likely gravitate toward one or the other at some point either through necessity (like your band needs a bassist) or just from preference, but if you have the money I'd say get a squier or mim fender bass and a mim fender guitar and start shedding.
quick aside, if you're going to start lessons here's a pro tip - learn your basic scales, chords, and chord progressions before you even step foot in the door from online resources and you'll save a few hundred bucks.
What does it mean to "just" a guitar? I keep seeing you guys mention Justing Guitar.

If Brad Pitt stepped on a landmine and lost his legs would that make him a...
BOTTOMLESS PITT
I think I should get a teacher then
weird guitar trivia:
sheyl crow taught brad pitt to play guitar
Is it safe to buy from Japan on ebay? They all use the same stock photos for guitars.
No one cares
ask the seller for real images first.
japan has a famously low crime rate, but theres bound to be the occasional scumbucket.
I just thought i'd add something other than memes and trannies
No. There are people who list items that they don't own yet and they put massive mark up on their shit such that they make money just for walking down to the store and buying a guitar. They do this because there are laws that prevent stores from selling new Japanese shit to filthy gaijins (no joke).
bros why the fuck are chinese guitars so cheap? like they use the same toanwoods and shit as the other major companies and have really nice looking stains but theyre all like 300-500 ish. the only shit thing ive noticed are the pickups are usually trash
even the guitar sammy has is made in china, that means china labor is cheaper than brazilian. And how much money do you make a month sammy?
cheaper labour, don't give a fuck about licensing issues
around 250 usd
in China you'd earn 165.

>like they use the same toanwoods and shit as the other major companies
they'll use things like okoume and label it as mahogany. Once you factor in most builds use the absolute cheapest materials (softest frets possible, shoddy tuners, etc) and their cost of labor, that's why
fresh bread
thats terrible
