You realise that there are three different shapes for the traditional power chord voicing and far more if you consider all fifth chords.

Recommend you learn your fretboard through reading sheet music.
Scales are better when you're doing them as a technique practice as well as learning theory, but you should know the fretboard and a modicum of theory before you spend serious time doing scales without understanding why they're built the way they are.

>these things sound inconsistent therefore they do not exist

Are Gibson guitars really that bad?

QC has been pretty spotty the last fifteen years, so there are some decent ones and some awful ones. Generally nowhere near the quality you expect for the price (especially those $5k Les Pauls). There are also some poor design choices that have never been corrected because guitarists are traditionalists, mainly related to the headstock.

That said, there are plenty of good ones out there.

THey've had a bad couple of years. Wait for the 2019s to come out.

Ok thanks, what sort of stuff is wrong with them in particular?

I won't be buying one, not even a fan. Just interested in what went wrong with them

I'd probably give it a couple of years to be on the safe side.

bad management led to most of their experienced craftsman quitting or getting fired.

QC covers everything, it just means a lack of consistency. Guitars are shipped without a proper setup. They're pushed through so things like damaged finishes, sharp frets aren't caught and corrected.

They've also made some very strange choice regarding direction, namely their attempt to become a consumer electronics company, and plain hilarity like the Firebird X. Not many people liked the HP additions, but I'm glad at least one company was brave enough to experiment with electric guitar design - and they were optional.

Add to this the rather optimistic pricing and you can see why people haven't been keen lately. Got five thousand dollars for a Les Paul with a chipped finish?

hi Yea Forums, i am bored with my programming job. Recently my coworkers invite me to karaoke and forced me to join them.. Thanks to that event, now I know I have a nice voice cause my coworkers were mindblown. So now I want to learn music, specifically electric guitar.. my budget for now is 310 USD.. what equipments should I buy if I want to hear myself playing an electric guitar?
>why guitar?
cause I found my drummer :D

And how having a nice voice gave you the idea to get a guitar instead of focusing on singing?

>this is the implication rather than explaining why no one uses large chords that consist only of roots and fifths
Nevermind the obscured tonality since 5 chords don't commit to Major or minor outside of the key signature.

They're so light and plasticky. I my soi hand can easily hold it while playing neosoul licks for my instagram.

the drummer said he need a guitarist too and I have always been wanted to learn guitar.. so please help, kind sir?

Person from earlier asking when to change strings
I played for ~20 minutes, two strings immediately out of tune, re-tuned them, and after a short while one of them was out of tune again.

So I guess I need to change them. However I've never done this before.
Is there anything I should avoid while changing the strings? I'm going to change all of them, but some videos/articles tell you to only change on string at a time, while others tell you to just remove all of them at the start and then restring them simultaneously. I'm leaning towards doing it one by one but I'm not sure if that's the right way?

310 ameribucks is not a lot. I hope the drummer doesn't hit too hard. What genre do you want to play?

us wealthy chads have dainty hands because we don't need to do any manual labor like a blue collar bum

get a job that pays more ya stingy fuck

>Not rehousing them in a single dual-mono case with a single control set

Probably not as the turbo mode on the od-2r does a nice thick and chunk distortion but RAT's do have such a cult following.

No, they'd still need sterile and lifeless pickups

Hello man! Unironically get a cheap used squier. At your budget a better amp rather than a better guitar makes a world of difference,a and since you will be playing live you want to sound half decent, so get a katana or any other nice amp, maybe marshall code series, avoid Line6 at all costs

Damn, you need a pretty clean amp who will not distort at moderate volume but with $300 for guitar+amp it will be hard and i'm not super knowledgable about these cheap entry level amps. For the guitar take something inexpensive like a squier bullet strat, who cares, you will suck at first anyway but like another user said put the majority of your money on your amp not the guitar.

With this indecisive loser attitude bass would fit you well. Leave the stage presence to the guitar chads.

any guitar will do the job, honestly, take one that you like the look of, you want to love your first instrument, a lot of entry level instruments are good these days (i started in 1996 with a shitty korean vantage 113t with a neck like a baseball bat), check the guitars in your price range, read some reviews and you'll be good. Stick to known brand tho (squier, yamaha, peavey to name some) so you don't end up with a (really) shit instrument.
And take lessons.

>I've never understood metronome practice
White dudes

bump
please give me opinions on what to do

Strings are made of metal. Metal corrodes over time. A year is plenty of time to rust enough to effect playability so change them.

If you're buying electric be sure to be VERY thorough in testing out the electronics. I bought a hollowbody once that was great in just about every way, but one out of every couple of times I would specifically switch between the middle and bridge pickup positions, the guitar wouldn't output at all. It would go back to normal after flicking the switch a few times, but it would have been nice to know about before I bought it

Not with that tone

I will put it as bluntly as possible. Realistically you are already too old to get proficient at either instrument. Based on your posts I can also determine that you will never be part of a band context or play on a stage due to your insecurities and crippled socials skills. In this case a single guitar will get you further in your bedroom playing career than a bass would.

>you are already too old to get proficient at either instrument.
Kek, what are you talking about?

thanks for that total projection
enjoy your guitar

Thread the string with enough slack to get three complete winds around the spindle, kink it on the post in both directions, and tighten. Never try to 'lock' the string by overlapping the winds. Such a practice is a common, cringeworthy misconception. Be mindful that a freshly strung string will take some time and retuning before it naturally settles.

just play both. a bass can do the same thing a guitar can. you can play chords on bass but a guitar just does it better. also the bass and guitar have the same notes bass is just an octave down.

its a di. wait i know your just jelly you cant play bass.

Any reason not to buy a cheap Pacifica and pay ÂŁ110 for a full setup, new cut bone nut, frets levelled, rolled edges etc?

that head stock angle is part of the gibson sound. it creates more tension on the nut. there isn't any problem with tuning stability with a properly cut nut.

they are more resonant.

All I have is a 5 watt tube amp and a25 watt solid state. Are either of these loud enough to gig with?

depends on the gig

Drop your discord Id senpai

I see. I should add that the 5 watt tube is a head that is hooked up to a small 1x8 speaker. Would hooking it up to a 1x12 make it more gig able? What types of music and gigs could I play with the 25 watt solid state combo or alternatively the 5 watt tube?

by that logic wouldn’t it be pointless to buy any strat other than the cheapest fender mim strat because everything else is just polished versions of that?

You don't understand.

Actually yes, and also black dudes and asian dudes who live the euro lifestyle. Metronome practice is practicing rhythm. White culture considers rhythm trash so you can go your entire life without learning it - and you're probably out of practice.

But if you're a little nigger/wigger in the middle of compton you were probably learning to keep up with rhythmic chants and rap battles from the day you could talk. It's not a critical period dependent skill, you can polish up on your rhythm pretty late in life. But some people do have a head start. There's also genetic factors but they aren't associated with any races - they're just the same ones that make you good at music in the first place.

it's baby boomer shit

>if im gonna spend money its gonna be perfect off the bat
>i hold companies to a high standard son i aint gonna give anyone money if they cant get it right the first time

Fucking
This.

whammy bars are for fingerlets who can't bend and SLAYERRRRR metal players who can't actually play and just randomly whack the thing until it sounds cool

tune-o-matic string through body is the best bridge, HH is the best pickup configuration, 4+2 is the best headstock design, 3 way switch, volume per pickup and master tone with push/pull for your gimmick of choice is the best control layout, 22 is the best number of frets, 24.75 is the best scale length, the best fingerboard radius is 12", and the best number of strings is 7.

Ha ha haa I always laugh when I see some dumb shit buy a cheap guitar and immediately start "upgrading" it. They usually start by asking for replacement pickup suggestions. It's like why, you dumb fuck? Why did you buy a guitar you didn't think sounded good to begin with? I'll tell you why: because you don't know what the fuck you're doing and you have no clue what the fuck you're after. You bought some retarded piece of shit because of how it looked in a picture on the internet and then when you got it home and actually played it ..it sounded and played like straight up ass. So you started "upgrading" it instead of admitting to yourself that you don't know shit and made a mistake, or that the guitars construction was so shitty that you didn't have any other choice but to "upgrade" it to make it a playable instrument. Here's the thing though: you could have just saved all the time and money you sank/wasted into "upgrading" a piece of shit and just bought a decent guitar to begin with. You bedroom warriors are a hilarious lot, watching you flail about trying to polish turds into diamonds. If a diamond is what you wanted why didn't you just go out and buy a diamond to begin with?

Because you're fucking stupid, that's why.

hte funny copypasta man strikes again

cheapest fender mim strats are made of shittier wood than more expensive ones, they'll use 3 or more pieces and glue it together and put a thick ass coat of polyurethane on top to cover that shit. more expensive ones are nicer wood and thinner paint because they don't need to hide that shit wood. nicer ones have legitimate electronics and tuners and shit too, MIM stuff you'll end up wanting to replace a lot of it (fuck ceramic pickups desu). and good fender maple necks are 1 piece of maple, MIM necks are 2 pieces.

Does it make a difference in tone? Probably not a huge difference directly, but it feels better and more solid and you can play with more confidence so you play better. and you'll spend less time monkeying around with everything and have more time to actually just play your damn instrument.

that yamaha pacifica is probably 5 pieces of wood, shitty tuners and pickups, will need a ton of work to get it playable, and at the end of the day it's still a fucking yamaha pacifa.

and there's the pasta
make sure you get some practice in today lads

its funny because gibson fanboys always buy their $3000 guitars, and then the first thing they do is upgrade the nut, and then maybe the pickups, but it doesn't' count because they buy authentic gibson pickups. sometimes they even pay $100 for 10 cent capacitors wrapped in gibson tone paper.

but putting another $200 into a $500 superstrat is dumb. you could have imported basically the same guitar but made in japan for that money and still been just as dissatisfied.

speaking of satisfaction, it seems some people aren't satisfied until they spend so much they have no option but to be happy with what they have.

Have you ever seen someone play a guitar at a store, like it, then look at the neck or body, notice it's multiple pieces, then half-assedly noodle around with it and put it away looking disgusted? I have, multiple times.

And then at the high end of the price range you have mutli piece necks and bodies but all of a sudden they're a good thing that add rigidity, stability, and sustain and a brighter tone and all that. But it's a good thing now because the guitar costs more than $1000.

>buying a les paul

enjoy your continuously fucked tuning on the g string and broken headstock lol. a $3000 gibson is worse than a $450 fender unironically.

Good question. I bought a gibson and kept trying to fix it. Why didn't I just buy a strandberg?

>Have you ever seen someone play a guitar at a store, like it, then look at the neck or body, notice it's multiple pieces, then half-assedly noodle around with it and put it away looking disgusted? I have, multiple times.
never

it's different when it's not random scraps glued together by a 6 year old chinese child, it's matched pieces and shit in the expensive ones.

>White culture considers rhythm trash
aka i don't know anything about occidental music.

I'm not white though . I don't think you have to practice a lot to feel the rhythm. You guys are very strange . Have you never danced or sang in your lives? Have you never heard music before deciding to play guitar?

Believe it or not it's the same shit and usually the same factory and in a double blind test with each guitar given the same scale length, frets, strings, pickups, and wiring hardness, played through the same cable and amp on the same settings, you wouldn't hear the difference, and if you made sure they were made from the same wood and finish and both had rolled fingerboards, you wouldn't feel it either.

Shut in nerds don't dance or sing, they just listen to melodic death metal and baroque masterpieces.

Corksniffers will never be happy. They can't play for shit and have zero understanding of what taste is in both musical terms and in gear

where do effects like arpeggiators and stutters belong on a pedalboard? like in what order would you put them?

just play arpeggios normally

what if I wanted to arpeggiate arpeggios?

kek I like how this always manages to trigger the shit out of /gg/

Irrelevant.
>I don't think you have to practice a lot to feel the rhythm.
You don't know until you use a metronome regularly.
>Have you never danced or sang in your lives?
It doesn't indicate a good rhythm perception, people dance on very basic stuff. It's doesn't lead to a good coordination between hands, playing with a metronome does it.
>Have you never heard music before deciding to play guitar?
Irrelevant, even people with zero rhythm can enjoy music.

The best shit are these stupid guitar forum boomers with 10 telecasters that talk about getting another one while also describing the modifications they'll have to do to it. I suppose it sounds better that way when hanging on the wall.

what about the guitar forum teenagers who think the only guitar you can and should play is a superstrat

or people who get their guitar knowledge from pop culture and don't know you can have something like an HH telecaster that doesn't sound like concentrated nashville

Fuck you.

bro that middle one is all jacked up, you need to replace the bridge and get a full sized EMG 81/85 pair, and replace the neck so it has at least 24 frets

I used to do it individually to maintain tension on the neck but these days I find it nicer to take all the old ones off, give the guitar a but of a clean/polish and then restring and tune.

>not being the "dude it's all about feeling comforble lamo" master race

Modern "wide range" pickups are just normal humbuckers with bigger covers. The magnets used to make real wide ranges are not available anymore.

looks aliexpress tier

Went to GC yesterday to noodle around with some semi-hollows. Most in my price range are pretty shit, but D'angelico really impressed me. They're clearly Asian made, but definitely higher quality than anything made my Epiphone or Ibanez in that price range.

Also fucked around with some more expensive guitars I wouldn't buy. Gibson QC is not a meme. I've never seen so many $1,000+ guitars with so many obvious flaws.

Not so when people bring it up.

I don't understand why you're so unwilling to budge on this.

people bring it up because they're burgers

in america, white people go out of their way to be stiff academics and finance buffs while black people and the ethnically ambiguous can be entertainers, front men, and athletes all they want but nothing else.

vintage guitars (strat, tele, LP, etc) all suck actually. get with the times gramps. you won't turn into jimi hendrix by trying to look like him.

now this is a guitar (it's mine BTW, you can tell by the filename)

get an acoustic guitar instead. they sell them in places like reverb and ebay for example

Oh yeah, this is great advice! In an apartment you probably would be much better off plying an acoustic very quietly!
