Reminder that Orange is the only good amp brand.
Matamp is better
Is this "Vintage" brand any good?
gonna become a luthier and overcharge Yea Forumstants
It's probably good enough. Are there any reviews? At worst you'll have a playable guitar with shit pickups that you can replace later on.
Yes there are some reviews on Youtube
for example
>youtube.com
I'm not too worried about the pickups (I'll wind my own), more about the general build. It's at the same price point as Squier. The teles I've seen in person had pretty beefy necks.
They're decent
it's my first week learning guitar and it's really fun, my fingers don't really hurt at all though so I guess that's why. How do I ensure I make it from this point onwards? I want to make my own music but things like music theory look like alien language to me
Anything worth learning can't be taught

How do I write an actual song rather than just playing random licks and scales on the top of a repeating chord pattern?
Try mimicking songs you like but changing the melody and solo
Hell yeah
>tfw I can't get my Dot to stop buzzing on the A and D strings
fine I guess I just won't play the first few frets of those strings. or just crank the gain up on my amp.
See now, here's an anime thread. Its been a long day, so it's nice to sit down and still be motivated to practice.
Thanks OP
Should I?
Why should you?
I want a Floyd equipped guitar, and it's cheap
do you hide your shit playing behind cranked gain too lol
How do you make an acoustic guitar sound "snappy?"
Here's a sample of what I mean: youtube.com
How much? And if its a licensed floyd forget about it.

Pretty much exactly how I feel about Applefags

What is even the point of using a tube amp when digital is so great nowadays?
idk you tell me
Cucking your wallet to get the acceptance of boomers
Based katana.
Cool guitar, not my cup of tea but I see it isn't les paul or a 7ender so I guess it's actually good
Can you recommend a good digital one? I inherited my brother's Peavey vypyr and want to upgrade from shit to ok.
It's practically a 7ender
How can a marshall look suspicious?
Check out the the Guitar Handbook by Ralph Denyer. It has the most simple, intuitive explanation of chord progressions and scales I've seen.
How do you like the neck pick-up?
Morning, cunts
can someone give me a quick rundown on treble boosters?
Uhh yeah, they boost your treble.
They boost treble
I've heard this pedal specifically has issues with volume drops. Do people just not know how boosters work? Is there a noticeable increase in overall volume when you have it turned all the way up?
It's not a volume boost, it's a treble boost.
Yeah so they like take the treble and like boost it.
Now, if you want to know why they’re secretly good, they can be used to boost your signal if its been muddied by a lot of crap in the signal chain like bad pedals.
For example, the old wh10 wah wasn’t bypassed at all so it would completely suck the high end of your guitar signal when you weren’t using it. So a treble booster like this would essentially correct that fault if you put it later in that chain.
And just to let you know, the best treble booster is the boss ce-1 chorus pedal from the 80s
So yeah buy one of these if you want to sound like john frusciante.
but the description on the EHX website says it can be used to push an amp in to overdrive, which would imply there's an overall boost in volume as well as in the higher frequencies
gain/overdrive isn't volume
Gain is volume lol
No, it's not
I just want to know if I can put it in front of a distortion pedal to get even more distortion out of it
no
Oh god kys
is it worth it to buy a kit guitar to save up some money or should i get a pre made fender squier or something like that
Do you know how to put a guitar together?
you wont really be saving that much money, just pick up one of the used nicer squiers for $200
I’ve been thinking about getting a boss katana but the guy at the guitar store says I need a tube amp. What do you think?
Katanas are fine
He wants you to spend more money
Is that necessarily bad though?
No. But theres a faggot that will tell you to save money and get digital and then will tell you in the next sentence to get an overpriced les paul
Well the guy made it sound like the amp is what makes me sound good and the guitar makes you look cool.
Katanas are good for someone that hasn't found their sound. There's so much to play around with and so many patches you can get that you can figure out what you want and need, and don't need. They also sound great and don't have to upgrade if you don't want too.
>hsh
no idea, desu, what i want is mostly do the paintjob and apply a finnish myself
haven't considered buying a second hand guitar, but i might do that

based. middle pickups are a meme
Good morning :)
vocaroo.com
why is your pick making so much noise when hitting it against the strings ?
I wouldnt worry about any of that until you have some experience under your belt. Also hybrid tube amps are great and getting cheaper. Also look at the joyo bantamp line.
That’s just my swag
bros i want a pink guitar but i dont want to spend a lot. what do
Pretty sure squier makes one or you could just paint one yourself, dawg
it's more accurate than you may think, anons
Also im gay btw not sure if it matters.
how do i remove the paint from the guitar
How do I google bros???? ??
You dont have to remove it, just sand it to scuff it up
i tried this on one of my cheap guitars to remove the glossy finnish, and it just fucked it up, it was as if it was covered in a white half transparent thing, and i couldn't get it off
No shit. That's called scuffing it up. You're going to paint over that.
its logo is too low on front panel, it looks a bit JUSTed
but what if i want to keep the wood grain and make it sunburn like ?
shut up you stupid faggot
Then you have to strip it. But we're talking about painting it pink.
Google how to shut up stupid faggots and maybe you’ll learn how
single coil pickups are a meme
o, i wasn't the same guy, just hoped in :D
but thanks, i didn't know these terms
I'm thinking about scooping a cheap nylon string guitar to convert into a fretless, any of you anons have experience with this?
why the fuck did I buy a strat as my first guitar even though I want to play heavier music Jesus Christ I’ve been memed
Don't worry user, eventually you'll grow out of that shit and gain an appreciation for that signature funky strat tone
How are my fellow bass players doing?
lol would it help if the guitar had more edges?
what about a nice comfy warm and deep sound and not something that is so piercing
The high frequencies get boosted and can go into distortion, yes.
But only the high frequencies. The lows remain unaffected.
Relax. Strats work ok for that stuff too. You have no idea just how much metal has been tracked with a Strat.
I'm practicing my bassline alt-picking with some Megadeth tracks, so not too bad.
Sounds like you don’t know how to use your amp
this. it's very, very easy to get a warm tone out of any guitar
How do I start getting into digital? I have no idea how do those things work, what should I buy?
how??
also how do you remove hum?
>what should I buy?
some grey matter
Find a daw you like, and an audio interface/microphone/other hardware goodies depending on what you want to do. You can honestly be as barebones or as ridiculously crazy as you want. You can even just use a laptop mic if you're a poorfag, but the sound quality will suck, obviously
>How do I start getting into digital?
kemper, axe fx, line 6 helix
Just bought a shitplank backup guitar that has a satin neck finish that feels kinda plasticky. Would lightly sanding it help make it feel better? And would I need to apply a finish after sanding?
>how??
learn to EQ
>how do you remove hum?
humbuckers, EQ or noisegate. if none of those work it's an electronics issue
If none of those works, then you've got a Samuel guitar
if you're sanding the neck because you don't like the feel of the finish, why would you add more finish?
Because I suck massive cocks haha :)
haha dude epic
Because I don't like the current finish, but could remove it and replace it with a better finish. Not sure if I would need to or not though which is what I'm asking
I'd say give the sanded neck a try before you refinish it. you might prefer it
yeah thought so thanks
Just install a bridge humbucker.
Can't decide if I should just practice my root and fifths today or actually come up with something creative on my guitar
What if I want something for gigging? Can digital handle that?
Probs
pretty much all electronic artists use digital for gigging
everything i posted can be used for gigging. you need to buy an FRFR speaker and a power amp though
first of all, get an audio card if you don't already have one, preferably a usb audio interface with instrument inputs
second, get a free digital audio workstation like reaper (free unlimited trial), tracktion, or ardour
then, get some free amp sims, there are truly amazing ones, like Ignite -
vst4free.com
or SoftAmp PSA -
vst4free.com
or many others
download, set up in your digital audio workstation, plug your guitar in, and play
>finally learned the fretboard enough to improvise a solo in a few different keys
>often feel like i'm just playing random notes, sometimes i feel like it doesn't sound interesting
what do? do i need to learn arpeggios to base my playing on?
also, how do i approach improvising in c major differently from improvising in a minor? it's the same notes, but i know there's something different i should be doing for each.
>I feel like it doesn't sound interesting
learn how to utilize both consonance and dissonance. you don't have to go full jazz theory on it, but if you're only playing "nice" notes (e.g. only major chord tones) it's gonna get pretty stale pretty fast
Listen to the slow joe satriani melodic phrasing. Hia solos are thtabjust sped up 100x
>if you're only playing "nice" notes (e.g. only major chord tones) it's gonna get pretty stale pretty fast
i disagree... how many guitar solos are great AND stay within the notes of the key? a whole lot.
but sometimes i step out by (for example) quickly hammering onto a note that's "in" from a note that's "out", like so fast that you only barely hear it but it sounds nice and jazzy
If you want to apply anything after sanding the existing finish off, use super thin coats of tung oil.
Tung oil will create its own finish that is super fast.
Niggaz are pretending they havent heard freebird solo. So.simple yet so great.
just because I like listening to something, that doesn't mean I like playing it. I personally get bored when I don't use spicy notes in my playing, but I don't require them to enjoy listening to a piece of music.
Is this spicy?

Abasi has serious chops, but he's ascended so far up his own asshole at this point that he's created a rectal singularity event
Clairo
>he's ascended so far up his own asshole
how so? not saying you're wrong, just genuinely asking
apart from the whole, achieving previously unheard of levels of wank thing, his need to slap his postmodernist minimalist design philosophy on fucking everything coupled with his tendency to make everything as fusion-y as humanly possible gets a little old. then again I've been following him for nearly a decade now and as we all know, familiarity breeds contempt
So, basically you're saying that he's ascended so far up his own asshole at this point that he's created a rectal singularity event?
That is correct, yes.
To be fair, that is the accepted final form of any fusion player.
this is true
Cool sounding bass track for beginners?

A band asked me to try out as their guitarist and said I should know 3 songs. They have about 10 and I learned 4 this week.
Is it a good idea to learn all? If they don't like me I will have wasted a lot of time
try lowering the pickups a bit, makes it less piercing more
based, soul to squeeze is fun to play
maybe learn a 5th that's a pretty cool number? Learning 10 seems excessive but more than 3 shows initiative and above scrub-level guitar skills. You did good user
You don't even have to be good

Hey /gg/
A good friend of mine recently moved out and gave me this Squier Affinity Telecaster. Basically, I wanna know what I'd have to do (aside from basic stuff like fret polishing) to make it sound/play the best it can. What pickups/tunning machines/bridge should I look into? I've only ever owned Strats so this a new domain for me.
>inb4 turd polishing
I'm doing this only for the sentimental value.
Posting guitar and iguana to get your attention.
Just play it
Do you think it'd be okay to use a 9v 500mA power supply on a pedal that's provided power supply is 9.6v 200mA?
Its an EHX Grand Canyon, and I don't feel like continuing to use the provided power supply. Have a strip thing that has a spot with the first power rating.
I'm still getting my chops back from not playing seriously for about 8 years, and I was significantly a less mature musician back then as opposed to now. When should I work on moving off of babbys first guitar and amp
Agreed. He is a very skilled player and should feel proud of himself but listening to his music is like reading circuit schematics.
Lubricate the nut and saddles, adjust action to taste. That's about it. You can replace the nut and saddles with self-lubricating ones if you don't want to regularly lubricate them manually.
You do NOT need new tuners. They will NOT improve tuning stability. Lubricating the nut and saddles will dramatically improve tuning stability.
you look like a cuck so i wont answer your question
Roger that. What about the pickups, though?
I did, it's great.
Once you get a job
>What about the pickups, though?
Keep them for now. Play with them, a lot. Then decide if you like them or want to replace them.
More expensive pickups are not necessarily better sounding, just different sounding. Pickups are exceptionally simple things and you can't make them sound better by throwing money and voodoo magic at them.
Dude, are you not aware that Tosin is becoming more and more of a fat dork every day?
Guess it makes sense. If I do decide to change them what should I get, though?
Thanks in advance, solid advice.
>If I do decide to change them what should I get, though?
If you decide to change them, what you should get will depend on the reason you want to change them. Two examples:
- You like their overall sound but don't like how noisy they are. In this case you may wish to consider noiseless single coil pickups, or even active single coil pickups.
- You find their sound too thin and/or you find their output too low. In this case you may wish to consider single coil-sized humbucking pickups or even hot rails.
You're the only useful person to ever grace this godforsaken general

What do you play if someone tells you to play something on an acoustic?
I've started learning perfect fourths tuning. Seems pretty well suited towards jazz.
Allan Holdsworth reportedly said in an interview if he were to learn guitar from scratch again he would have started tuning in fourths.
Any of you guys ever try it?

Is it possible to attain GOAT status without being highly autistic?
Don't play with fire if you can't handle the heat
Only if your name happens to rhyme with Saul Dilbert
can anyone help me identify the two pedals in this pic?
i swear it was a rat and some hardwire pedal, probably their delay/looper.
Maybe not GOAT, but good for sure. Allan never made any popular music and stuck to his own thing, which is why hes one of the most unique. I think I read somewhere he practiced for 10 years in actual time (so like 80K+ hours) and knew over 10,000 scales.
You definitely don't need to put in this amount of time to go places though, but autism of his nature is what it takes for GOAT status.
looks like a service bell m8
It probably is a Hardwired DL-8 delay pedal with a service bell. The black pedal is most likely a Morley ABY box. Matt Pike did a similar rig way back in the day

No. See also: Lionel Messi, a literal, actual aspie.
okay, r/guitar, I was just thinking about something today. the average person farts 13-21 times a day.
a pink floyd concert is typically 1.5-2 hours.
there's not a scenario in which david gilmour is not farting at least once in concert. he could be playing comfortably numb and, if there's a kaka lodged up his butt, when he farts, the air moves past it and smells like david gilmour kaka.
something to keep in mind when playing his tunes!

Madeira was produced by Guild, made in Japan, and sold in the US. Ugly headstock imo, but it sounds great.

how long did it take you to finish that
like a month when doing it casually, but i’ve been screwing around a little longer than that
At which point is it smart to bite the bullet and take lessons?
Before which point are you wasting your time with lessons and should just teach yourself like an adult?

Mommy issues to start
That's pretty standard. They'll probably do an okay job.
Don't do that, you'll fry your pedal.
Yes. I don't generally recommend people switch to fourths for a variety of reasons. However, if you're going to play jazz I can honestly say I can't think of any downsides, so you should look into it.
Classical: definitely do NOT play in fourths, the repertoire demands standard tuning and improvisation is not part of the genre.
Rock/blues: don't play in fourths, you want to be able to play the repertoire and big open cowboy chords.
Metal: definitely consider fourths, it makes learning a wide variety of scales very straightforward.
Jazz, fusion, etc: I strongly recommend fourths because it makes learning the huge variety of chords and scales easier, it makes improvisation easier, and there is no fingering-dependent repertoire, and you don't need big open cowboy chords.
Acoustic singer-songwriter shenanigans: absolutely not, you need those big open chords.
Genres I know little about:
Country: no idea, probably a bad idea
Ambient: probably worth a look
Funk: no idea
Folk: probably a bad idea, you want those open tunings
What about prog rock user?
I don't know anything about prog rock. Seems like fourths could work, though.
Thank you user.
oi cadaver !!
blesse you're soulle
Not bad
I really have thought of this before, but with guthrie govan
Yep, marketing like that
Still haven't tried a Parker so can't tell if they're memes or not
open sus tunings work well for prog. try CGCGCF
what kind of left or right hand exercice could i do while i watch series ?
i've gotten pretty good at switching between any chords, bare chords as well, aiming from the first fret to the 9th or other things like that, so lemme know if there are other things i can practice without being too focused on hearing what i'm doing
