From last thread; I'm tired of my polyester strap digging into my shoulder. Can an user attest to the comfort of a leather one, maybe with a sheepskin pad?
Because if it's still indonesia shit it makes no fucking difference other than muh badge.
Samuel Harris
what happens when i buy a nicer electric? i think mine is a gibson, it's yellow. are they more enjoyable to play? i just feel no need to upgrade i wont, just curious tho
Joseph Bell
Squier: $270 guitar and $30 for brand Fender: $200 guitar and $100 for brand pulling numbers out of my ass of course but you get the idea

Why is it sad? If anything, they're cool decor.
Jackson Bailey
A lot of more expensive guitars are not nicer which ones are a point of endless arguments
>ugh that 5 piece neck really kills the tone. you need a quartersawn vintage maple neck with a vintage truss rod. accept no substitute. >no, if anything it sustains better >no it doesn't *broscience* >yes it does *broscience* >audible difference: nada >livable difference: fewer truss rod adjustments
Grayson Turner
play different guitars at a store without looking at the price tag. spoilers: you can't tell until you hit the beginner shit price range or the strandberg meme guitar price range.
>pick out new pickups >level and polish frets >roll fretboard edges >scallop fretboard >locking tuners >new nut you just saved yourself $2000
Jayden Jackson
literally anything is nicer than a Gibson so get yourself a chink clone
Brayden Powell
>scallop fretboard >locking tuners lmao
Lincoln Adams
You want a wider strap, not a padded one. Get a wider suede strap.
Isaiah Fisher
Very good. Where did you learn to shred/play fast? Also what scales/modes are you using here? Thanks.
Sebastian Adams
Why not a wide, padded one?
Chase Bell
My acoustic guitar broke where the headstock meets the neck. A little binding where the front half of the neck with 5he frets and headstock meets the back half of the neck . its a "U" shape if anyone knows what im sayingts snapped and you can kinda see the truss rod.
Is there anyway to make it kinda playable again
Gavin Miller
Padded looks gay and the padding will wear down. A soft wide suede strap will almost never fatigue you, padding is unneccesary unless you have weak woman shoulders.
Kevin Wright
do you really not have ANY camera around
Oliver Ross
What’s wrong with locking tuners?
Grayson Sanders
does anyone have recs for a beginner bass player books? I want to make heavy metal eventually but for now i just want to know the basics of playing bass
Brandon Phillips

Jacob Scott

James Kelly
nothing, will save you some time changing strings but overall they're unnecessary if your current tuners work properly some user insisted they were training wheels, but nobody really cares
Sebastian Roberts
wrapping around the post reduces tension caused by the string bending at acute angles, which reduces breaks. but that's just me, never needed locking tuners really.
Camden Davis
I have a Gibson with the robot tuners(don’t bash me...it came with them and I got it as a gift)and I consider THOSE to really be training wheels. You don’t need to have any kind of musical ear whatsoever to tune that shit
Ethan Brooks
i have a guitar with locking tuners. it hasn't broken a string in 5 years and it rarely needs tuned.
i'd rather have good locking tuners than regular tuners and painstakingly wrapped strings
>implying the angle the string gets kinked around the post at is any different
Jackson Gutierrez
machine tuners in general are training wheels. your strings should be wrapped directly around a peg held tight with friction
Gabriel Edwards
Guitars are training wheels. You should be able to lead a choir if you're a real musician.
>i can't produce the right pitch so i need a device to do it for me Kys you genetic failure
Brandon Roberts
I still fucking hit a few notes when changing open chords. No one says they notice but I do. Anyone else ?
Owen Martinez
I've been playing for 25 years self-taught, I've never taken a lesson and it shows. My technique is horrible. Is it too late?
Jayden Gonzalez
>implying the angle the string gets kinked around the post at is any different a wrap around the peg first is a much reduced angle over going directly through it
Josiah Garcia
too late for what
Hudson Hall
Nah, but it's going to be hard to get rid of "bad" habits. If you play the guitar pro or semi pro it's going to be even harder.
Lucas Murphy
You go through and then do half a wrap.
Bentley Peterson

Leo Smith

Ryan Foster
Since I was 14. I never learned proper alternate picking and I rarely use my pinky.
Wyatt Lewis
Hm. I can't speak much since I've only been playing for 11 months. Wasn't until a few months ago that I couldn't alternative pick but I just made sure I did and few weeks later it was fluent and constant. I'm using my pinky more and more now - it's what I'm working on
Noah Young
How hard is it to put an electric guitar bridge and saddles on an acoustic? It seens like itd be more convenient and durable
Why are acoustic guitar bridges so uniform
Matthew Stewart
I like how when high school lets out on the east cost all the kiddies start pouring in ;^)
stupid idea there is nothing to screw the bridge to and even if there were it'd sound awful good luck tying acoustic strings around an electric guitar bridge too don't know how on earth you came to the conclusion that it's convenient
stop messing around with the guitar and go back to practicing
Jackson Martinez
I alternate pick to say, arpeggiate a chord. But my technique is bad and I can't develop real speed with it. If I want any semblence of speed in my solos I have to use legato and its very limiting.
Carter Gray
Why not practice and get better at guitar instead of collecting trinkets?
Isaac Young
EAST COAST OR WEST COAST WHO HAS BETTER GUITARISTS?
how do i stop p90s from feeding back with high gain
Connor Sanders
italians living in america
William Ward
move away from the cab orient yourself so that you're facing perpendicular to the cab and not directly towards/away from it turn down the volume use less gain realize that nobody can even tell what pickup you're using when you're playing with teenage metalhead levels of gain and install a humbucker instead
William Morgan
I literally have no idea why some people slide up the neck inbetween chord etc. Any idea?
Blake Kelly
>Just learn guitar if you are in your room alone, its better as a solo instrument!
Everyone relies on the positive or negative reinforcement of others. It's like theres a little redditor inside all of us just waiting to come.
Evan Murphy
yes, retard, it is. there is an entire discipline for using it as a solo instrument and it's tuned and layed out so it's easier to play chords, counterpoint, and accompaniment at the same time at the irrelevant cost of having an easy mental map from fretboard to grand staff notation (because it's a solo instrument, not played in an orchestra - and when played in a band it's usually with other guitars and a drummer)
Guys I'm desperate. Does anyone have links to practice songs that don't involve a whole lot of bullshit? I'm talking about hammer ons and slides and playing 5-4 7-4 7-3 9
I can't stand that shit i can't fucking play 4 notes at once 16 times in a row switching in one quarter of a second. The tabs I've found so far are all like this. All the easy song tabs and chords I've seen are like this. I need something simple but that still has a pattern to memorize that I can actually try over and over again until I get better.
Angel Bennett
>vocals, violin, sax, flute, clarinet, etc commonly accepted as solo instruments >'but the range!'
It's more about having a wide enough span, just enough, from highs to lows, to be your own rhythm section or at least dip into the sonic territory. It's why women are better solo singers than men and bass isn't a solo instrument but guitarists are fine on their own or with a drummer.
And then you have 7 string guitars which are in fact the ideal form of the guitar.
I want a bass with a rickenbacker sound but i don't wanna pay a million dollars cause it's really too much of an investment. Are there any good copies or maybe pickups that make a similar sound? I've looked around and thought about the possibility of installing rick pickups in another bass but some people were saying that doesn't work cause the construction and truss rods and all that are too important to the overall sound
lol >i wrote my symphony on this guitar said no one ever. let me know when you can get 88 notes of polyphony from your painfully inadequate compositional tool
Jaxson Gray
>It's why women are better solo singers than men why?
Juan Lopez
Just get a chinese fake and put in real rickenbacker pickups, close enough. Rickenbacker fans are the worst boomers that will tell you nothing but the actual thing will come close.
Piano is shit because your polyphony is limited by the combined limitations of the linear layout and the human hand rarely being more than a foot in span and having more than five functional fingers
Accordions have the better key layout
Metal is the last popular genre in the west where anyone gives a shit about trying to make guitar more than a part of the rhythm section
It's too bad the compositional styles are trashed by trying to be edgy and "epic". If competent people were in charge of ensembles of 8 course plucked string instruments it would be so much better. Bach would probably kill a man to get modern metal instruments and make amazing use of the horn-like timbre of distorted electric guitar but instead we have meshuggah.
Buy a lightweight, 8 string multiscale instrument with unlimited tonal possibilities that can be quickly re-tuned to the needs of different compositions while remaining playable and well intonated
Only play using the bottom 3 strings with drop A tuning with heavy distortion
the mememachine rabbit hole ends up being a particularly infuriating one if you have supreme autism concerning retaliative form aesthetics vs. function like i do
I literally said that I was looking at acoustics, dummy
Aaron Jenkins
wow i didn't think it was possible for somebody to trigger me this much in one post
Hunter Edwards
Electric guitar design isn't rocket science. It has a solid body. The body doesn't do anything for sound except give the strings something to attach to. So you cut away the parts that might get in the way of your appendages so you can play passages that would otherwise be physically difficult, employ techniques that could not have been considered with the full body of an accoustic, and rest your guitar on whichever leg.
And why are you finding edgy guitars doing that when 7 string acoustics are a classical tradition, not an attempt to make metal more heavy
Have you heard that one band that sounds like Black Sabbath? They're totally wicked dude! 420 blaze it
Michael Allen
Stop shaving your neck.
Austin Richardson
Literally just play the exact same stuff as black guys from the 30s. If you're white, people will think you're some kind of supernatural genius if you say that you've listened to a couple of classical records
Isaac Young

I prefer EHG, Bongzilla and Coбyтыльники Хpиcтa.
Angel Russell
>Fuck Sabbath, never liked em. >I prefer EHG, Bongzilla and Coбyтыльники Хpиcтa.
I'm having trouble figuring out the riffs for Road by Nick Drake, does anyone know if that first low E is a pickup note or if it gets repeated with the riff?
Kayden Gonzalez
black people pretty much invented rock and roll brother
Samuel Brown
Black people acting white and white people acting black worked together to invent it.

Alexander Roberts
Fahey is pretty decent. But the level of fetishistic idol worship by the disconnected upper-middle class white guys who listen to him is truly, truly revolting. He's just a classical music fan who made a couple of blues records, but people act like he constructed this immense, sacred and inviolable monolith of American music. He didn't do anything new. He played stuff that others had been doing for decades, many of whom did it better. But he had one thing that they didn't. He was a cork sniffing, fart huffing, self satisfied, head up his own ass middle aged white guy. And for the right demographic, that's the equivalent of a hit of amphetamines injected directly into the eyeball.
>get modern metal instruments and make amazing use of the horn-like timbre of distorted electric guitar but instead we have meshuggah. have you tried making stuff like that by yourself?
Colton Young

determinism is a bitch
Sebastian Robinson
victimhood is a bitch. it doesnt take supergifted IQ to try to make Bach-like music with guitars. not much more than regular music knowledge and the interest/will to do it.
Hunter Morgan
It does if you want to make something good.
Eli Sullivan
how low can someone get the action on a Bass? i want it for maximum clank sound and to easen it on my fucked up hand tendons.
I never understood the whole 78/blues thing until I watched a documentary and realized it was a bunch of Jews who were completely concocting a load of pure bullshit to subvert white culture. Nobody ever gave a shit about garbage like Robert Johnson until they wanted to try to sell something that was in degenerate opposition to popular stuff like Pat Boone and Andy Williams in the 50s. They dug in and deformed the emerging folk music with their lies and then they managed to pull rock 'n roll out of their satanic hat and that was that, the youth culture in America was poison. People like Fahey were elevated for a reason and it wasn't because the music they were making was genuinely good.
Yes, somehow, by playing different scales, they turned us all into transexual satan worshippers when we should have been playing hymns to our jewish lord, jeshua of nazareth.
Jaxson Nelson
can you turn that into one post that doesnt look like a reply to another post with more information, so i can post it on my spic imageboard and redpill people?
Adrian Flores
Go back to your containment board blumpftard, the Jewish people are respected here in /gg/
That doesn't mean that listening to stuff from the 1930s will help me find Fahey sounds and play like Fahey.
great image. I've never met or heard of anyone else who likes Fahey so I can't comment on the weird 'fetishistic worship', and don't really care either. I really like the genre of 'American Primitivism', prior to finding a name for the style I couldn't turn up anything like Fahey - that's what genre tags are useful for anyway.
>He played stuff that others had been doing for decades, many of whom did it better. Like who?
Most of your post seems passively aggressively addressed at a strawman I've never met.
>He was a cork sniffing, fart huffing, self satisfied, head up his own ass middle aged white guy. Again, never met him or even heard him speak. I just like his fUUUUcking guitar playing dude, holy shit.
But anyway, please get back to me with people who did it better.
Aiden Gomez

Angel Foster

Adam Roberts
They just overlap with bass strings eventually, my man.
Kayden Sanchez
Just expanding here so maybe anons can help me find similar sounds. I know of Ackerman and the Rate Your Music top American Primitive groups, like this gem: youtube.com/watch?v=n6fxf7o7IYg
Regardless of the associated demographic, which i don't give a fuck about, I really like the sound and would like to learn more of this style (to both consume and play). I've spent a lot of time searching for country and bluegrass that doesn't sound gay, and this is great stuff imo.
You can put Rick pickups on any bass and it will sound close enough, but part of the Rick sound comes from the pickup position and the scale length, the body is made out of maple which also vibrates pretty different to alder or ash but who gives a shit about tonewood. So in short if you want a Rickenbacker get a Rickenbacker because you're not gonna really get the Rick sound out of a Chinese shitplank with 300 bucks worth of second-hand Rickodicko electronics in it.
Ian Evans
Get the Greco, Michio Kurihara plays a Greco.
Henry Cook
This. Pickups, scale length and bridge design are 90% of a electric guitar's sound. Wood, bullshit and prayers make up the rest.
The brief interactions with Fahey fans and articles about his playing have been painfully masturbatory, so you'll have to forgive my bias. If you like American Primitivism, you might enjoy Leo Kottke. His playing is a little more on the wild and wooly side, which is why I enjoy him. As an added bonus, he's the mack daddy of 12 string players
Have any of you ordered a custom guitar? I am looking into ordering one, but I can't decide which custom shop to order from. I am looking to order an Explorer shaped guitar with a Floyd Rose and 3 humbuckers. The custom shops I am looking to order from are Gibson, Jackson, Schecter, B.C. Rich, and Dean. Any advice would be appreciated.
Austin Wilson
Yeah, don't order from any of those brands, especially Gibson.
Brayden Cruz
What would you order from?
Austin Adams
>by playing different scales It was a deliberate coarsening/nigerfication of our culture and they used music as their vehicle because they knew young people were more susceptible to being tricked by their lies, same shit they're doing now. And they started grinding their ax almost as soon as the war was over, driving communism into the youths minds via folk music they poisoned and pushed in a lot of popular media. You can look it up. Research how the "Anthology of American Folk Music" got going and you'll find what I said is 100% true. Harry Smith, R.Crumb, Joe Bussard, etc. were the first "le wrong generation" cunts ever. Keep in mind this blues/folk music they were "discovering" was barely over 10 to 15 years old in some cases. lol fuck Mark Knopfler.
Leo Kottke's first album was on Fahey's label though.
Jayden Cox
Nice joke 8/10
Brody Perez
Suhr.
If you buy a second hand strat, it doesn't matter that Fender's QC is spotty because if it's a lemon you can just sell it. If you're dropping several grand on a custom guitar, you have to be sure the manufacturer's QC is water-tight: you can't resell it if it turns out to be a shitplank.
Jaxon Clark
i asked because i dont want to research . it doesnt need much more than a reformulation of that post of yours
From those listed id go dean because they have more experience with those types of guitars

That's what i thought too, but then you'd assume that boomers would be experts at shit like this so who knows. I'll have to find a Chinese one that ships to Norway then cause they don't sell that shit here as far as i know
I am going to wait till Sunday to go to my nearest Suhr dealer and get a quote. I already feel good about this just from looking at this Jazzmaster. Thank you user.
Yeah that's the problem, i mean i don't care about having the name on there it's not like i'm gonna be on stage with it. I just want the sound or something similar so i can pretend i'm Chris Squire for a few minutes every day
Ryder Evans
Nobody likes Gibson either, 900fag.
Colton Adams
PRS is a meme yes. They sell $2700 guitars and ship them in paper thin gig bags. That should tell you enough.
Aaron Jackson
Well, Chris Squire played a Rickenbacker user, so you'll have to get one. They own the sound, the tone, and we have to pay whatever they want to get it, no way around it. Or you could get a P-Bass he plays a P-Bass on South Side of the Sky.
Mason Martinez
>900fag lmao, why can't you say your actual name jcum?
I really wanted to go all in on guitar right now, because it is all I have left. Getting a custom shop is a way to distract myself atm. My only friend killed himself 3 weeks ago, and my girlfriend just broke up with me. Thanks for the advice user.
