give me some guitar pieces that make me feel like I'm sitting in the grass looking at a frog pond or some traffic pass as yet another summer day carelessly drifts away
give me some descriptive words or tags so that I can find similar pieces on my own

Great, ain't it?

It's the awful grain matching that makes me shudder.

the first song feels a little upbeat for my very specific current desire, but I'm very much enjoying this guitarists style and have saved it, thanks. I will go through it in it's entirety later, but if you could recommend the slowest or most bored sounding one, please do.


Any particular recommendations?

My picking hand sucks. My picking is always feels stiff and I can't get any speed out of it. Doesn't matter what kind of pick I'm using. I must be holding it wrong, but I can't figure it out. Any guides to help me out?

Macmull versus a common guitar.
youtube.com/watch?v=7w64maNo2T4

Watch justinguitar.com to make sure you've got the basic technique right.

Then start on picking exercises with a RELAXED right hand. Use a metronome, start dead slow, and only increase the tempo when you're nailing the exercise every single time.

Practice every day. In a few months you'll be competent and in a few years you'll be good.

Do you own one of these or are you just gas'ing hard?

That one was already pretty slow, maybe this one. Same pace but a bit more depressing

youtube.com/watch?v=piC3dMwWLQI

$325 isn't a "common" guitar. It's bottom of the barrel.

I have nothing to offer but common sense. Start practicing it more. Isolate what's difficult and zoom in on the mechanics of the movement. Find what parts of the mechanical movement are fucking you up. Practice those individual, isolated parts as much as you can.

If it's a sequence on a piece that's troubling you, practice that piece as much as you can, as fast as you can. If it's just in general, practice a on a set of specific examples until you git gud (difficult passages in songs, scales, etc).

I'm a nooby guitar player but that's how I'd approach it in piano, the apporach is advocated in this free online book as well:
fundamentals-of-piano-practice.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

you better be one of the best guitarist in the world if you own something like that. otherwise the money should've been spent on world class lessons.

a good guitar player sounds good on any equipment

Did you listen to (or are you familiar with) this video I initially offered in an effort to narrow down what I'm looking for?

Reminder to learn bass and be the most respected person.

Why is that most rock guitarists rely so heavily on mixolydian?

Two months with slacking

While Dorian is technically the most neutral mode, Western music's emphasis on Ionian and general diregard of Locrian +/- Phrygian shift the center towards Mixolydian, as evidenced by the fact that unqualified chord shorthand is implicitly Mixolydian (e.g., "C7" is the Mixolydian tetrad, but you need to add more qualifiers to state a major seventh).

isn't every user over 30 with a guitar pretty much one of those guys?

Not all of them are as big of a cunt as the guy with the long hair.

he's just an overgrown metal baby. The other guy has made a few slimy youtube moves.

What should be the next price point for an upgrade to a $350 bass? Thinking 600-700, any ideas for or experience with specific models? Looking at Fender basses, and on top of being a weeb, I have an Ibanez now so I want to look at those too. I’m open to any suggestions, as I’ll be trying them in the store first. My amp is decent, a fender rumble 40, so I’d rather replace the bass first. Thanks for any help.

P-pls respond there are bass players here right?

tl;dr open to suggestions for upgrade from $350 bass

What do you not like about your current bass? This is the most important thing to consider when thinking about purchasing a new bass.

Alternately, if you like your current bass, then you should probably think of a new purchase in terms of something different that complements it well.

There are a couple of bass players, but most of them are more interested in talking about playing than about gear, so we ostracised them.

What bass do you have?

are you the same guy who called me autistic in the last thread? how is this autistic you blithering retard

Alright niggers, are the new Supro guitars good or trash?

Well it’s just an entry level bass, SR300E, and you can sort of feel the cheapness. It’s part technique also, as I’m not the best, but for instance it has a bit more fret buzz than I’d like sometimes. The sound isn’t as deep/rich as I’d like, and I’ve tried using other strings and it just sounds too “metallic”...
another big pet peeve is actually just the placement for the cable. It’s like dug into the guitar and it’s annoying to get out, barely any grip since it’s so deep and it’s actually chipped some of the paint near that pit because it’s so tight. Other guitars I’ve looked at have the jack on the surface so it’s easy to remove and it won’t chip it at all.

What do you think about the neck profile, pickups and electronics?

Hey sorry I didn’t see this but SR300E, I know color doesn’t matter but it’s the planet blue. Looks a bit cheesy but I got a good price on it...

Forgot to mention the look of the guitar itself too.. don’t hate it but as I said it’s just a bit cheesy

doing my first guitar project

got everything put together, but theres a lot of noise when i plug in

the thing is, when i put my hand on the input jack the noise goes away

the cavities are foiled and everything, is this likely a problem with my grounding connections?

>is this likely a problem with my grounding connections?

Yes. When you touch the jack you ground the guitar. If grounding the guitar with your hand improves the buzz then it means the guitar isn't properly grounded already.

Yes, it's a grounding problem

I don’t know enough about them in general to know the electronics in and out like that, or about the profile etc. As I mentioned it’s sort of metallic sounding, it doesn’t have as rich of a sound as I’d like, and I’m not sure if it’s the pickups or the rest of it. I’ve only tried a fender precision bass in person recently and it felt great and sounded much better but I couldn’t pick out the specifics.

I'm not averse to gutting my guitars, which is the best way to test pickups (i.e., keeping everything the same but changing the pickups).

I don't recommend doing that, though. You should go to a shop and try some basses with similar construction but different pickups to figure out what kind you prefer. It'll also give you an opportunity to try out some different neck profiles, scale lengths, etc.

DON'T spend good money on gear unless you actually know what you want.

and it could potentially be a problem with any of the grounding wires inside the guitar, not just the one thats connected to the input jack?

appreciate the help btw

Yes, any of them.

owning an amp these days is a cry of desperation. Its like a writer buying a typewriter to be a "serious" writer. You can do everything just fine with software.

Thank you, yeah I plan on trying some I just wasn’t sure if there were any that I should try to find first. I’m partial to fender and Ibanez so I was a bit worried I might be missing out on some other brands to try, but hey they’re big for a reason right?

>DON'T spend good money on gear unless you actually know what you want.

Tru but also I don’t know exactly what I want, but I’m coming up on a raise so I want to reward myself. Like I said I’m not that great but even I have ears and I can tell the sound on this one isn’t the best, even with someone better than me plays it Thank you for for all the insight

You can fuck with pocket pussies too, but a real girl is much better.

I wish roman would come back so we could see some good bait again.

I've got a bass after being into guitar, and I must say, bass is the torture porn of instruments. The distance between frets is huge, the strings are so fucking thick and tension is so high I get tired after a minute of playing it. What the actual fuck? Playing on guitar feels like playing AIR, strings are so soft and everything is so easy.

A human is an ultra-complex nonlinear biological organism. An amp is a very simple piece of analog technology.

and?

What you were saying basically is, there were natural vaginas that grew on trees, and now there are fake plastic vaginas you can buy, and the same happened with amps. In other words, a really, really bad comparison.

No. What I'm saying is that just because they're new, doesn't make the old obsolete.

Do I need active pickups to slap or is that a meme? Learning obviously.. I was looking at Fender Jazz bass and realized they're passive, and I heard you should get active if you want to slap. I'm sure once you're a god it doesn't matter but I'm gettin' there you know?

slap was invented on passive pickups

that's as dumb as "you need active pickups for metal. source: this generic djent band, and some well known guy who just got sick of noise coming through his passives"

Why are you obsessed with family members? You don't have a personal computer in any form?

remember to thank your mother for your low latency audio gear son

While this is very entertaining, I am genuinely worried that these Anons live with their parents, who they rely on to buy all their gear.

Nope, but a compressor will make a big difference

I doubt I'm your "son", son, and this is not how digital "gear" operates, what smarter people do instead is, write and/or edit drivers, system settings and scripts themselves. But sorry, I forgot that you're a common user, i.e. another pitiable victim of today's (mis-)education and can't accomplish anything on you own without corporate nanny's help. What can I say, enjoy your 20's technology, you truly deserve it as long as you're stuck in 1920's.

The CIJ is better (sounds better, better fretwork), but it came with worse pickups due to marketing, pricepoint, etc. Easily fixable.

Only manlets use anything else

Does anyone know why my strings keep breaking? I have them in for maybe a week Max and then suddenly one of them starts to like unravel at the bridge and go all loose, I dont wanna waste money on replacing it when it could just be an issue with my bridge.

That's an impressively awful camera, well done. There's nothing wrong with that bridge design, be less aggressive with your technique and use better quality strings.

If you really can't face change either of those, you could get GraphTech String Saver saddles, but I think that's overkill, and will change your tone.

Well yeah, it's 1.5x better.

I have a Marshall DSL 40C but just out into a flat. I can't use it any more because of neighbours and it sounds shit at low volumes. How the heck can I get good tones at low volumes? This isn't something I've ever had to look into. I was contemplating selling my DSL and getting a Pod or something.

He sounds the exact same through every amp, its funny

I like how guitar is the only instrument that gets riddled with this 'soul' meme. Its so fucking subjective. I don't like it either, but calling it soulless just because you don't find it to be is retarded.

So after 10+ years of not playing much, I started looking around to see what was new in terms of guitar amps etc.

I bought a Line 6 Vetta II in like 2005 which at the time had some advanced features.

I'm confused because it seems like little to no innovation has occurred since then.

Are most people using computers for digital processing now? Like amp emulation and effects software?

What I was expecting to see in 2019 at the high end of solid-state amps was way more options than something like Vetta II, far improved interface with touchscreen controls, bluetooth connectivity with companion mobile app that allows you to edit, save, download, share effects online etc.

Not bad, I'd probably have a clean boost in your chain. I'd go for a Keeley Katana or an Xotic EP that way you can boost the whole signal w/o adding any extra distortion. Also I'm personally not a big fan of the Catalinbread DLS.. much prefer the Fulltone OCD. As for the compressor, I consider the BB Preamp to be a god tier compressor/OD pedal.. especially the Comp model.. but Keeley is good too. I just really like how my BB sounds stacked with the OCD, really 'warm' and responsive drive tone.

All we have are low effort copy cats now.

Lmfao pathetic loser

what are you talking about? what does this tab have to do with my amp for my six string electric?

Have you ever noticed how "includes" does not mean the same thing as "is the same as"?

BB Preamp desu. I was able to nail 99% of the J-rock tones I wanted with it, including K-ON!. If you buy one, go for the 'Comp' version as its like a 3-in-1 pedal.

It stacks amazing with an OCD, which is what a lot of Jap bands use. K-ON! was largely recorded on a Bluesbreaker amp, which BB steals a lot from. If you need extra drive, stacking the OCD makes it even better.

There's a family-owned music store in town that I try to support whenever I can, but I also go to the pawn shop (we have a good one). I'll do a big box music store for financing sometimes.

Thanks senpai

Thats probably the regular version, which is still good if you're just after the OD part. I like the comp one since you can use it as a compressor as well but its usually more expensive, I got mine for $90 or so.

just learn classical guitar
fingerstyle is a big meme unless you're a good singer

What do you do when you have too many guitars? I have 5 and that seems excessive, but two were gifts and I never use them, but I don't want to get rid of them. I only really use the other three, as they all have their own tunings

I have 8, but one is a baritone and two are basses. If you have a guitar you never play, you can sell it if you need money. Otherwise, just keep it in its case and bring it out every year or so and remember why you didn't sell it. It's like getting a brand new guitar for free.

>just learn classical
I've been pilfering flamenco techniques to bastardize with my hick picking. it's been going well so far

Just learn some of the 25 Carcassi etudes if you have a nylon string guitar. It's a good start for classical guitar if you already have some guitar experience. Even if you don't care about classical they can help your technique immensely.

I might, how spicy are the voicings? I tend to avoid classical because I'm addicted to jazz harmony

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!

If your dog has fleas you should wash ad treat them more. Also, I'd pick my pup (or anyone's really) over my shitty squier any day. It's not like she's on the jag

Nothing really spicy in there, it's pretty straightforward romantic classical music.
The 25 etudes are generally recommended for starters because they aren't overly difficult and they cover most techniques.
Villa-Lobos has some spicy voicings but his etudes are assrape.

I noticed this too.

>Villa-Lobos has some spicy voicings but his etudes are assrape

On a guitar that costs 4 figures nonetheless

If you like Catalinbread- check out their Belle Epoch delay pedal. It simulates an Echoplex tape delay pretty well, giving you Page and Gilmour type tones

>tl;dr: how do I, a former guitar intermediate/hobby guitarist start training my way to playing Mastodon songs?

probably the most retarded question you guys have had, but here goes:
I played alot of guitar when I was a teen, I'm older now, but want to get back into it.
I used to play Guns N Roses pretty good, take from that whatever you want about my "skill level", I'd say I was 3,5/10 if 1 is a total newbie and 10 is "Japanese teen with facemask playing vidya themes".
How do I start at it again? My music taste has changed, I listen mostly to Mastodon nowadays and would love to be able to one day shred like Brent instead of LMAO Slash.

I don't want to take classes if possible, I guess what I'm really asking for is if you guys know a set of songs that progressively gets harder and more technical until I reach my desired skills?
>picture VERY related to this post

R~? Is that you?

Well since Mastodon is just Alice In Chains these days, just start with that. Get an Orange amp too for that Mastodon sound

I don't know who R~ is, I've never posted on Yea Forums. I'm a massive /pol/, /fit/ & /vg/ faggot. I want to pick up the guitar to distract me from radical views and shitty games that ruin my mood and sanity.

Kinda feel sorry for Jason Richardson here, he's not a great improviser and sounds like a kid in Guitar Center after Greg Koch.

I should've specified I mostly prefer Mastodons old vibe. Crystal Skull (for the vocals) and Sleeping Giant (for the intro guitar) are the two songs I hold dearest.
Although Precious Stones is fucking lit aswell.

Figure out what you like in store. Then go on reverb/ebay/craigslist and track down a used one. Don't pay full new price for a new mexi Fender. There are always lots of used ones in good shape for 30%+ discount over new.

Also, try out a Yamaha BB 400 series. Those are my favorite mid-range bass.

Man up. Beef up those fingers.

Still seething about losing money on stock market last week.

Sand off old clear coat. Spray paint. Finish with clear poly (aerosol). Mask everything completely, then add more masking just for double safety. It's hard to screw up.

Start with the intros and just slowly work your way up
That's how I started

I memed myself into buying a pricey Jazzmaster. When I leave it on the bridge pickup, I'm getting a ton of feedback. Is it defective? Is this normal for JM's? Should I just buy a hum canceler instead of returning? Please respond.

indeed, it also includes generating a musical tone, i.e. an extra-linguistic act.

That's not normal at all. Sounds like a faulty pickup. Also please post your Jazzmaster. Here's mine.

Regular D'Addario 11s (EXL115).

That's my guess, I mean I've usually if a pickup is feeding back without a ton of gain it's either a full hollow, unpotted humbuckers, or a bad pickup. Never heard of a Jazzmaster feeding back like that. Talk to the shop you bought it from or the manufacturer.

Hybrid approach that i usually take. Imma still use my amps for guitars mic'ed. What should i install? Im running it through my 4k smart tv using a dvi to hdmi cable and have it Bluetooth connected to my zombie joyo head so my sound is playing through a 4x12? Does computer play through a 4x12?
