I've been learning more Alice in Chains songs lately, really like their guitar style. I need to find more guitar inspo.

How do you learn to play with others, do you guys do low latency jams here or what?

It's a nice day to have an anime thread. This thread and the good weather outside are the main contributors to my motivation to practice this morning.
Thanks OP

Do you practice inside or outside?

So I've played guitar enough to know a few chords (namely C, A, Am, G, E, Em, D, Dm, F, barre B G7, B7, C7 and a few song-specific ones) and I have fluent transitions between them and know a few songs, but having a bag of chords and small repertoire only gets me so far.

I've dabbled into sight reading and learning from tablature, but haven't spent much time there. I can roughly identify, by ear, the chords I know when played clearly, and can pick up on basic strumming patterns easily enough. I've know a couple songs in alternative tuning (Eb tuning and drop D, I think it's called) - I was scared of alt tunings for awhile but it's not biggie, it does really make me want to buy a capo though so I can change tunings quicker..

All that said I wouldnn't say I 'know how to play', what I listed above is my complete knowledge and ability when it comes to guitar. Nothing more or less. I would to be able to a) learn songs quicker, b) learn them by ear, c) improvise and jam d) just sound better, I sound like shit.

Will finishing JustinGuitar and pic related save me?

My opinion: I really don’t give a shit about the tone as long as it sounds clear and doesn’t use actives. Out of all those I’d go for the classic Mayones Regius 6 or 7 based on looks but I’d have to try the necks on each to see. Those ergonomic necks of Strandbergs really interest me (neck is most important to me).

Are SX tele copies any good for a cheap practice guitar?

How do I get better at improvising? I know what scales and arpeggios I can use with the progression, but I struggle with making it sound musical.

Also, my teacher told me not to put notes exactly on the beat, but to kind of "float around the rhythm", but I really don't know how to do this. It sounds hella cool when he does it though.

I'm not a big fan of flame tops anyways. I'm thinking of stripping and putting white nitro

Any bass players here use modelling software / VSTs?
Just got a fretless Squier jazz bass, and I'm struggling to get it to not sound like shit through Amplitube. I wanna get that sick jazz fusion fretless sound (like Jaco). I threw some new nickel roundwound rotosounds on there and I've been fiddling with the setup.

I've got the truss rod set correct but I don't know what to do with the action. It seems that part of the singing fretless sound comes from the strings hitting the fingerboard a bit, no? I've got the action as low as I can before the bass becomes unplayable in the upper register (too low and the string presses against the end of the fingerboard when I try to fret around the fourteenth line)

No I got it lol you’re just too retarded to spell it ‘basedcial’ because you have Yea Forums brain

Cringe

No

Sheet music is meant for pianos and just so happens to work well for linear instruments like flutes and string instruments tuned in fifths with very few strings (ie: violins). It works poorly for guitar because of the sheer amount of duplication across six+ strings and inconsistent tuning (EADGBE) made for comfortable, physically possible chording, not reading piano music you've never seen before and still being able to play it along with ten other violinists in an orchestra. Sight reading unfamiliar sheet music for guitar requires locating the note, and then figuring out the most efficient fingering for the left hand, and the right hand since you play with your fingers (right?), while it's so simple on piano you can sight read for keyboards after very little practice (the sheet music is also a fingering chart) and still pretty easy on violins and cellos. A guitarist can learn from sheet music and use it to jog their memory but I've never seen one perform an unfamiliar song from it.

However guitar tablature sucks for conveying rhythm. It can be notated, but it doesn't illustrate it as well as the standard notation and there's no standard for time signatures and note duration in tablature.

What are we going to do about this lads? continue reading tabs for the actual notes and looking at the standard notation above it like suckers who need twice as much paper as everyone else?

I've always thought music notation in general is fucking retarded. One would think that 300 years into the future someone would have come up with something better, but no, we're still stuck with what Bach and everyone else at the tme used.

don't fix what ain't broken

Musical notation is highly specialized, intended for use with classical chamber music and european keyboard isntruments. It works very well for that. It has not had to change because it is very easy to learn and use for chamber music and classical keyboard pieces.

People have NOT been using "real written music" for lutes and other instruments for centuries because it's not meant for them or the kind of music they are used to play. The snobbery surrounding its use is unreal and borders on ignorant.

Is this normal? Is this ideal? The strings are way easier to fret and really low compared to an accoustic.

If you slap and smack the strings ya it’s gonna buzz a lot more than an acoustic
Depends. I usually play my electrics unplugged and I think it sounds fine. You might actually have a setup issue

This is a collaborative piece

Its not that hard to play guitar from sheet music. The entire treble clef is contained in like what the first 4 frets, and the duplication so what every note has maybe 3 possible positions?

I agree for very complex pieces but those are going to be complex anyway. If you're playing rock or folk or something all you want is a lead sheet so you get the basic melody and then you, the skilled guitarist improvises the arrangement or ornamentation for that in your head.

You were saying sucka?

Also he isn't even playing any of the bass notes he seems to be fretting, unlike classical guitar dudes who don't need stupid stunts to play bass lines

practice an hour a day and come back here in a year ish. Playing music is a craft and it'll take a while for you to develop the necessary muscle memory.

I usually find guitar store action too low, actually.

>go to guitar store
>everything is right handed except for 2 or 3 shitty beginners guitars

I always wondered, what's the issue of using a right handed guitar? Everything felt awkward on the instrument when I started. Do violin or lute players get left handed models? Classical players? Seems to be one of those electric guitar things.

never seen one like this
so few people are left handed i feel like there are always too many

you can learn right handed but will come to a limit in the upper end of picking dexterity. for the violin family, no, almost everyone plays right handed dues to the ensemble nature of the instrument but for other lutes, yes. i play bouzouki and mandolin left handed as well

I've always wanted to learn to play some instrument but my left hand is disabled. Should I try with guitar or something else?

disabled how?

Does anyone know if the Fender Vaporizer was based on the old Silvertone amps? Specifically the 1484 and 1485. The tone is just too similar to chalk it up to coincidence.

no middle finger, can't straighten index and ring finger.
but maybe I could use left handed guitar? holding a pick shouldn't be a problem, or do I need to use fingers too?

i know a guy missing 3 fingers on his left hand and plays fine using a pick. he plays left handed

>do I need to use fingers too?
Most hold the pick between their thumb and index finger. Getting a lefty guitar would probably be your best bet. Hope to see your fucked up handing out there playing someday, famalam

>dood don't get a floyd rose, they're hard to take care of
>mfw restringing is easy
>mfw it's just a normal whammy bar but the strings are held in with screws and it has tuning pegs in case you use a locking nut

fuck everyone who recommends against these but says a standard strat is fine

cant fucking decide if i want to buy a HSH, HSS or SSS strat

Jesus fuck man, they must be rustier than robot sex

I’ve always played it like this

I lost money on the stock market last week and i'm mad about it.

I am getting my first guitar and I figure i want something balanced to accompany my voice. That leads me to grand auditorium shape. Is there a somewhat good grand auditorium under 400$? I see Yamaha been making good budget dreadnaughts and concert ones, but sadly no grand auditorium.
/adv/ is dead, don't know where else to ask

hsh if you like heavy tones or sss. hsh can be split but it's never going to be exactly like sss especially with hotter pickups.

hss is dumb

>hss is dumb
>hsh isn't

SSS will get you the most 'Strat tones' overall. HSS is good if you need to cover heavier gain styles that have more crunch and distortion.

when people say HSS for heavy tones, can an SSS just be made to sound heavy through amp stuff?

like you can get H sounds from an S but not vice versa?

the H stands for humbucking. single-coil pickups have more noise than humbuckers which becomes more noticeable at high gain

Based Tomo Fujita, the true Samurai of guitar

i get that but I've heard that you can make a single coil sound like a humbucker since its a more unrefined sound and remove noise with EQ? so really you have more tones with a single coil than a humbucker?

I'm left handed, had a left handed guitar for awhile. Switched after a couple of months because it was retarded not being able to play a friends guitar, and I have no regrets. The availability of right handed guitars is comparatively amazing, and there have been absolutely zero dexterity issues. I think left handed guitars are memes.

Got this on the way for my Strat

What model/brand is that??

Guitar player lefty with a pick is probably a good bet. I can't think of many instruments that only require two fingers on one of your hands.

Guitar Madness. Cheapo eBay pickup but it has good reviews. I figure if it's garbage I haven't lost much.

you're in luck. i have 2 strats so here's how they sound:
instaud.io/3szG
first is hss and second is sss

*played lefty

>instaud.io/3szG
cheers
HSS sounds great but so does the SSS, just flatter?
I dont really have a favorite so i'll need to decide and the difference is much smaller than I'd imagine and it could probably even be tweaked further so that the sounds are closer together

it's not flatter. the 2nd one is lacking in low end and overall signal strength

Might also be interesting
youtube.com/watch?v=onrKwQ9IlOw

sorry I may have used the wrong word, that difference I hear is due to the pickup difference only? I don't really know what overall signal strength means, is that how hot something is?
t. acoustic

also was that part of a song or just something made up?

Joni Mitchell?

I've never encountered anything that required fretting with your thumb. I learned the ""correct"" way to begin with (thumb always on back of neck) and trying to use thumb for fretting in this way is awkward approaching painful.

It means you can play fret the bass with your thumb and still have four fingers free for melody. But yes, there's not much that requires it, only stuff that's really pushing the envelope.

Which vox is that? How is it fair against Marshall and Orange? I'm very into crunch/Driven clean tone with single coils. I've been using a Silver Jubilee plugin for a good while and im loving it, i don't know how Vox sounds with that setup though. Silver Jubilee is way to pricey if i end up wanting to buy the actual amp.

You should take your favorite guitar to your local guitar shop, user. They're more than happy to let you try them out these days.

Shouldn't make you better. Should help you out though.

Last time i went on a guitar store one of the sellers said i couldnt test the amp because its too loud, the mall would fine them.
Two mins later he was testing a bass for someone else.

>buying an actual amp after 2018

Go when that guy isn't there. If not, try a different shop.

Don't buy an amp unless you've heard one in person. They don't vary amp to amp nearly as much as guitars, so you don't have to play the same physical object you're going to buy, but you should at least play another example of the same model using your preferred guitar.

wait, wut?

how much is too much to spend on a single guitar? i might have fucked up

Nice, report back on it, maybe upload a couple clips clean/distorted.
Don't forget to experiment with splits and have fun

Above 1000

What did you buy, and for how much?

If you really did fuck up, there are returns policies, and expensive guitars often hold their resale value.

private stock custom 24 for €8k

I'm deciding if I want to bother splitting it or not.

$300

Why did it cost €8K? You might have fucked up.

Not him but PRS private stock are normally 10k+

I'd say $1,500 is the upper max

Yeah, you fucked up.
Hope it makes you happy

Fair enough, seems mad.

You probably can't return it if it's private stock. You might get most of your money back on reverb, but even a 10% loss on €8k is pretty bad. I'd say you fucked up.

Do you have anyone to play with? Were you friends before or after you started? I’d love to play with someone but my only friend that has a guitar is reeeaally new which is fine (I’m learning too) but he also doesn’t practice seriously.
>why would I need to practice rythym it’s all in my head anyways we learned it in high school
>doesn’t know or care to know ANY theory, even as far as note names/where they’re place on the fretboard

I don’t know where to find anyone and frankly I don’t know if I’ll get along with people in general. I don’t want to use the term “normie” but my friends and I have a certain kind of autism that we all get along with and I doubt it’d go well with anyone that isn’t retarded or on this site...

Anyways I want to practice muh root notes and rhythm but don’t have anyone to jam with. What do I do

8k isn't bad if it's in good condition. you could probably make a profit from selling it if you change your mind. i made money selling a core custom 24 second hand

When I started at 13 I had one friend who was okay and another who was really good. Played together all the time with both of them, quickly surpassed the one and took a while to catch up to the other. Playing with people who are better than you is the number one way to progress fast, it's true

Are you guys talking euros or dollars?

Nothing is too much if you can spend it. But its certainly stupid.

If you don't have anyone to play with you probably shouldn't have chosen a band instrument.

Bass is fun regardless it’d just be more fun with someone

Is it just me or does everyone find PRS guitars astonishingly ugly?

it's just you

Jesus. The bird inlays are just the cherry on top.

Should I quit bass if I’m a solo player? Or if I don’t plan to join a band?

new to guitar and building my calluses. about 20 minutes into a practice session I get to a point where the string is digging deep into my first finger and it's sliding around in there and it feels really weird.

should I practice through this or take a break?

if only this was hollowbody it would be perfect

Nah, do what you like.

Very sensible, user, I was just chatting shit.

this is awful. its like the opposite of what a prs should be

No difference

I’m very depressed and impressionable and you spooked me at first, but I feel a lot better now. Thanks user.

I do, it's like they couldn't decide if they wanted a les paul or a strat, so they came up with half-baked shapes

One word: Macmull.

Regardless of price, you fucked up

It's the lurid finishes and gaudy appointments that get me, like overpriced fruit pastilles. It's like a stoned seven year old was asked to draw a "cool-looking guitar".

Ah, young one, yet again I see you chasing the glory.
But can you up the memeing??
Can you take a meme, and make it a work of art?
Can you make the eternal flames burn brighter than ever, or will you just disappear like any other memester?

Leave him alone, he's chasing the meme.

is everyone here just a poorfag with shitty gear?

I hear you kiddo, but is anyone actually listening to you?
I see what you did, young one, I like your memeing.
Yeah, you're upping the game, I think it's a whole new style, so young.
But can you make a meme worth memeing than any other ever meme'd before??

NEVER EVER take your guitar to guitar center for a repair. Take it to an actual luthier/tech in a smaller shop

Macmull. Up the ante.

There's neet bedroom "musicians" and there's this guy who went too far

I've spent about five thousand bongdollars on gear so far and I can't even play one song.

And what should a prs be? A boring bastard copy for soulless blues and fusion wash-ups with the epitome of boomer tonewood myths at the helm?

it should look anything but cheap

hey, I'll have you know I'm a neet stage musician

Ever get paid to do it?

yes, but original music is shit pay so it just goes into a band fund and no one takes anything home

Terrible headstock, makes it look like a cheap knockoff.

Small amps turned all the way up.

It's gotta be an effect tho because it's not constant. I know he uses Fender Twins and a Silvertone 1485 for pretty much everything tho

thanks for saving and spreading pictures of Macmull, friend.
