what does an acoustic sound like in a super low tuning like drop a? has anyone ever tried that? I dont have one and i cant find a youtube video if it
There's literally an entire album about this.
For a second I thought that was Skin Diamond.
I'm embarrassed that I know some pornstars, but I'm glad I know Skin Diamond. She is so fucking hot. I'd go watch her right now if I hadn't been abusing myself too much lately. This morning my dick was chappy and literally stinging, so I have to leave myself alone for a while. Oh well.

Follow my example by completely ignoring shitposters and this would stop being a problem.
what do you call a b minor chord with the bottom e open
sauce?
Like you would expect it to, just get a baritone scale so the bass strings sound nice and tight.
I call him Teddy
Suhr Aldritch pickups, or Seymour Duncan Blackouts?
No, female.
Aldrich pickups will smoke the blackouts in every aspect. They also split and clean up well when you roll your volume knob down
I wouldn't call it anything, I don't memorize chord names because I'm a shitter who can use my good ear as a crutch
Isnt it bm/E or some shit like that?
pedals and tonewoods can't reproduce this SoulTone
No pedals used. American pro strat straight into amp.
Post your rig /gg/. If you play metal don't bother, you're supposed to be 18 before you can post here.

isn't Jack tired of playing crappy guitars now?

I wouldn't pay $350 to just see a guitar. No.
Yeah, he seems to have formally adopted the EVH Wolfgang as his "main" but he also uses that meme of a guitar from Music Man fairly often because "MUH WAHMEN," no doubt
But would you buy it for $350?
>embrace the s o y
Probably not, but it's not my style. And Jack White has moved on to non-shit guitars.
Cool. I want to hear when youre done. What you cooking
Honestly its not a bad looking guitar. Shame about the demographic though
The funny thing is that guitar would be criticized for "unachievable ideals" if it was a Disney character.
Is the hole who's name is on that guitar even good?
wtf now I'm a feminist
It's literally just a shitty Explorer.

can you say something intelligent instead of these vague shitposts? They were funny at first, now I just want a peak at the mind behind them.
Gross
Mostly like garage rock stuff. Idk I just like how they look.
I've always liked Music Man designs, specially the basses. This one just doesn't do it for me, even though I haven't heard or played one. Might check it later.
I doubt this can be answered here but I just bought a busted combo amp for cheap because there’s an issue with the amp. The there’s no sound, but you can see the audio peaking. Turning it all the way up does nothing, still no sound. But when i turn up the overdrive if I pluck a string hard you can hear the amp pop and crackle. Any idea what may cause this?
>Gross
ok this one then
>garage rock stuff
Not him, but get something with a P90 or some humbuggies.
Is it okay to learn how to play on acoustic, if my intention is to eventually play distorted electric?
I have an acoustic guitar, and I really don't feel like dealing with all the equipment for an electric right now. But eventually I would like to transition to playing something like grindcore, crust punk, death metal, metalcore, etc.
Benson amps are one past that direction. They sound like you're plugging into an old radio.
SPEAKING OF ST VINCENT

>Any idea what may cause this?
Sounds like a connection issue
when you move the volume knob, do you hear any noise? as in buzzing or similar.

Fuck yeah karaoke time
Possibly a cold or broken solder point
eh, prefer the blues king sound, but that's still fairly cool

No noise at all, only when I really hit the low E string hard do I get any output and it’s only a poppy, crackley mess.
based if it's actually from playing, based and redpilled if it's from YOUR playing, unbased and bluepilled if it's from that factory like that.
It's like pre-ripped jeans. Fuck that shit. If I have a hole in my knee I want it be there because I was a dumbass and forgot how to walk for a step and fell off my brother's front step and busted my knee open. Totally a hypothetical story there, but you get the idea.

I bought it wit the intentions of possibly fixing the amp, at the very least wiring to work as a small speaker cabinet for

On a beautiful california spring night
Am I the only one that sees that album for the overrated meme that it is? And I like the dino in the case
Charvel HH with floyd
it's both a great album and an overrated meme, thank god Yea Forumscore has shifted to more popular stuff and let it rest
To me its new. I barely discovered this band this year and i like the change in pace compared to new stuff released
After i study and analyze what makes it sound good ill move on. Whats something new youre listening to?
Thanks i like the dino too
>Whats something new youre listening to?
Define "new." When it comes to guitar based music, there's not much I listen to that didn't debut before 2000. But there's a couple newer bands that I've been grooving recently that are actually from the same label as American Football, those being White Reaper and Wampire.
Yeah i meant new to you. Stuff you didnt listen to before recently. Edgy names and all but do you like em?
>do you like em
Yeah, they channel old stuff but in a way that I like. As for "didn't listen to before recently" I'd have to go with the Eagle of Death Metal. Really grooving their stuff at the moment and only really started to dig into them a month or so ago.
Heard of them obviously after the incident but since i actually like and listen to death metal i never gave them a try because of the meme name.
Everything Josh Homme does is a meme and Jesse Hughes is the same way. Doesn't mean they don't make good music. EoDM use the Keith Richards tuning, but double up the low G instead of just taking off the E string like Richards does. Makes for an interesting style
GUITAR IS TURNING YOU GAY
Do that fuck josh homme is in that band too? He really likes the amp i use. Do eodm use a jcm900 too. I know he did for kyuss's more iconic stuff.
If I got serious about practice, how many months until I should be able to play this?
youtube.com
Yeah, Jesse Hughes and Josh were best buds from high school and when Jesse's life fell apart when his wife left him Josh came along and taught him guitar, went away on tour with Queens, came back and Jesse had written a couple songs that were really good, Whorehoppin being one of them, and Josh told him to write more, and he did, and they were all good. So the two of them went into the studio and made the first EoDM album. And no, they don't use Marshall. For the studio it's guitar into a couple different fuzz pedals direct into the board. For live they use Orange amps. They actually did a rig rundown recently I can link up for you if you'd like.
Sorry for the wall of text, I'm autistic af about music and bands.
1000 hours in mspaint
Dont worry about it so am i. Yeah after looking up his rig yesterday i had the sudden urge to acquire an ampeg 8x10 to hook up to my jcm900. But at the end of the day those bands arent my cup of tea. What guitars do you have?
Folks what is the best tuning and why is it F#F#F#F#BA
Because you have fetal alcohol syndrome and you were born addicted to meth.
WHY DO THE NIPPON FUCKS LIKE MARSHALL AMPS SO MUCH
>What guitars do you have
I haven't gotten a new guitar in 8 years so pls don't judge. But I've got my first which was a cheap Dean because it was on clearance for $65 when my dad and I went and it was the first thing we saw. After that I got a BC Rich Warlock because edgy 13 year old. I've got a couple 90's Squire strats, and an Kramer from 1980 with a Floyd Rose from back when I thought I wanted to do the shreddy thing.
I'm selling the Warlock and Kramer soon. I want to get the maple neck Fender Mustang and slap a super distortion in the bridge tho. Probably have that all set and done by the end of April because I've really gotten back into guitar again and I wanna start a band.
because theyre good, you hipster fuck
I like the sound of low output single coils with distortion effects. It sounds more metal than drop tunings and active pickups.
I also like to play slayer riffs with a clean tone + hella reverb and random vibrato use.
Fight me.
The pre-weathered jeans of guitars.
>yeah, i totally play, like, a lot, outside even
>I also like to play slayer riffs with a clean tone + hella reverb and random vibrato use
So you like surf rock then? Sucks Dick Dale died, man... But that's life.
nips are brandwhores but they're a different kind of brandwhore because they don't see our pop culture like we do, so they look like hipsters from our viewpoint
if they had taste they'd use orange amps
No, I like norcal black metla. Do you know how good burzum songs sound like that? Really good.
Cool.
No shit dumbass i have one
my boy Slim has been a bassist in a lot of those bands
I'm listening to White Reaper right now, so far they sound great. I was actually looking for bands that sounded similar to Cheap Trick, wasn't expecting anything from 2017.

ok Yea Forums I'm in the market for a new amp, currently using a fender frontman 15r, which was my first amp that I got used cheap for $40. It sounds alright, but doesn't get me the sound I want, which is high distortion.
Ideally a combo amp for convenience, I'm deciding between:
-Peavey Valveking 112 tube amp (50w)
-Peavey vypyr solid state modeling amp (40w)
-using my current amp for 6 months until I can afford an evh 5150 III tube combo amp
Mostly playing at home, would really like to gig eventually and I want something good that will last
I am open to suggestions, someone mentioned jet city amps, which from the videos I watched sound pretty good, but don't have a clean option, which I would still like to have access to.
What do you think Yea Forums?
Holy fuck I would. Full disclosure: I don't play, I just think it looks gorgeous.
Honestly that looks pretty neat. then again I love both of the guitars its based on.
looks like something jack white would play
avoid
E flat tuning is probably the best.
for some reason it makes everybody 25% better at guitar.
nobody here plays. this is why roman arrived and left in the first place, making fun of all of the trips that posted gear all day and didn't actually know how to play.
he said /gg/ stands for gear general
[spoiler]it's true[/spoiler]
it's time to rant...
this is why this general sucks compared to others. it requires some kind of skill to post anything worth posting and most people don't have that skill and attempt to compensate with the idea that their guitar or amplifier matters. it's like how ugly people go to /fa/ and pretend that the clothes they wear will make some difference. they're still ugly with their $1,000 outfit, everyone here still is talentless, no matter what you spend your money on. froosh posted one time playing a Squier directly lined into a audio interface to make this point and trips were claiming he was using different electronics and a better interface or something and it was pathetic how in denial these schizos really are about their lack of skill. fuck this place.
I play, but I suck because I've only been playing for two months.
The only guitar that hasn't frustrated me was a telecaster, so that's what I play. All these flat necked jumbo fret 10+ gauge string modern guitars feel awkward. I don't give a single shit about wood. I like behringer effects pedals because guitar pedals are seriously $10 of electronics in a $30 metal enclosure wiith a $60+ brand name. I can hear the difference between tube and solid state amps and solid state amps sound better.
Nobody will ever agree with me so I just >imply and larp as a gibson fag for (yous)
Good luck with your transition, user.
4 minutes of silence?
Suggestions for a begginer who wants an electric guitar? My budget is $300-$450, I want something that I won't regret years later.
what kind of music do you want to play?
Hmm no
Mostly noisey related genres. I make a lot of experimental music and I feel like picking up bass and guitar can add a lot of interesting textures.
Kinda like this
youtu.be
ive only playing for a month man, listen to this and suddenly you will feel better about yourself :(
cheap ibanez superstrat for $150-300.
some high gain tube amp for $150
behringer distortion pedal for $15
>cheap ibanez superstrat for $150-300.
worst suggestion ever
don't buy this shit anons, better get a much more solid Cort for this money
Buy a chinese strat if you want to be more kvlt
this is hot, I must admit
Sell your trips to the devil to get better, user
At least play 20 minutes every day, you'll get good in no time
did you even listen to what i posted :/
Would you believe me if I told you this is a bass guitar
I want to trade my schecter for this
wait for evh
or if you want something now, orange crush 35rt
Yes i did
Any user learning classical is well on their way to success
I'd say to tone down the gain and focus on playing cleanly, though
Yay

What's your particular problem with Jack White?
What tele is this user?
Metal players ruin everything
Daily reminder that if you’re not practicing 12 hours a day minimum then you’re never going to make it.
how are ya doin Yngwie, my fellow boomer
Chuck Berry did your mom 12 hours a day minimum
Not that bad for a month to be honest. Stay dedicated and you'll be great.
Why change strings on bass?
I prefer stringless basses
Then why are you in /gg/ and not /prod/?
Oh. No replies, I feel you my bass bro.
If you are weeb enough you should look into Japanese punk jazz bands namely 385 and Midori, they have awesome basslines too.
Guitarist looking to get a base for practice, learning and recording. I've narrowed it down to these entry level models. I really want active circuitry, so I'm not interested in the more vintage type stuff.
Does anyone have any experience with any of these bases? How are they?
See pic.
I'd go for the CORT bass based on the pickups.
I’ve always like the look of those Ibanez basses, but those basses have no character and I hate it.
Squier makes/made a Jaguar bass with active electronics that you can find for used cheap (pic related)
Or a Sterling Sting Ray.
Yes, the Cort did have the most interesting tones from that P style pickup, at least from what I heard in the samples.
Can't seem to find an active Jaguar around me. I will research the Sting Ray, though. Wasn't aware of it. Thanks.
Alright lads I need to relearn guitar/bass since I've never learned how to use a pick, I've always used my finger nail
How should I go about this?
Practice alternate picking
Get a pick you're comfortable with, I personally started with a .50mm and currently play with a .60mm.
Holding it should come as intuitive, but there are still lots of material everywhere about how to hold it with basically no variations between them.
Start downpicking and then switch to alternate picking, again, there is a good amount of material everywhere.
These picks are the best , I use 0.73mm (or whatever the yellow ones are)
Probably should have posted where I'm at "skill" wise with just using the finger nail, I'm playing bass/guitar on this track
youtube.com
Should I get the pack with six different sizes or just stick to one for now?
Buy a few different sizes and stick to what you like.
Get a pack with different sizes, chances are you're going to end using one and stick to it, but is good to have variety starting up.
This isn't a drum general but it is an instrument.
Might be a dumb question. Is it cheaper to buy a whole set or buy the parts individually?
Fuuuuck I want one of these. I will get the pink or the grey one by the end of the year.
Alright cool, just ordered the six pack which has 0.50mm to 1.14mm in it
Thanks for the help!
For guitar when I play a lot of chords and multiple strings, I use .60 thickness. If I'm doing chords and single string plucking, I use .73 thickness. For bass if I use a pick, I usually use those Jazz III picks.
In theory, whole sets usually come cheaper as most of them keep it simple. However, most retailers and people don't really sell whole sets. Most of the time you're going to find just the shell pack, meaning you will have to buy cymbals, stands and pedals.
Nobody cares.
-about your shitty gear.
There’s one on reverb for $230 that doesn’t have the PJ pickup config, it has a single humbucker style pickup in the bridge (like the Cort you posted) it won’t let me copy the link, but type “Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass” Look for this bass.
Nobody cares about your shitty attempts at trolling and you're so desperate for attention you're posting your face on Yea Forums.
take your medication. you think someone from 5 years ago is playing boogeyman on a daily basis this entire time, you're schizophrenic.
You're just a pathetic loser, nobody cares.

froosh really destroyed you didn't he lmao
Just shut up already, nobody cares. When I replied to your shitty bait post you made at 3 in the morning the very next post was you responding because you're a loser with nothing better better to be doing. You just sit in here and shitpost all day and all night trying to get some attention. You're just a clown.

1 chord is fine, 2 is plenty.
3 and you’re in jazz territory.
Should i get a classical guitar? i'm into a neofolk phase and i just don't like the way fingerstyle sounds on acoustic
So you're one of the people who keeps pushing that there is someone posting daily for 5 years, 24/7?
also
>nobody cares! over and over
yet you keep replying!
yeah it’s better for finger playing, the strings are spaced better.
even the cheap ones are good, nylon sounds comfy
What are the thickrst ghage acoustic strinfs i csn get that arent bass sttings
Classical guitars are great, you can't beat that nice warm tone
if you don't switch to a steel string every once in a while though, you'll get sissy babby fingers
>am I developing OCD?
sounds like it, not gonna lie. switching between different voicings is pretty frickin common my dude
Can i just put electric strings on my acoustic
if they have the same tension as a set of acoustic strings, then yeah.
Any patricians know what the classical guitar track at 2:14 is ?
I need extremely low tension guitar strings because my guitar is barely holding together. The neck is broken. Its only kept whole bytape and glue. I have access to free 7's electric guitar strings
Maybe if i use those and not string up all 5 ill be good?
honestly if your guitar is that bad and you can't afford to get proper repairs or a replacement, you should go for nylon strings instead. Electric guitar strings usually have fairly similar tension, but aren't designed for volume like acoustic strings are. With nylon, at least, you could get both the low tension and some of the volume
Jesus man, buy a new guitar.
What are some super low tension nylons then
Its hard out there so ill play this until its dust
>what are some super low tension nylons then
they all are. you can put nylons on a steel string guitar, but if you put steel strings on a classical guitar it'll blow up.
Yeah but there must be a range right? I just want my best chances with the lightest i can get
“The Pontiac Aztek of guitars”
dude, if it's that bad you might as well scrap that guitar and go get a cheapass secondhand guitar
Best guitar I’ve heard in recent years is a lot of two handed tapping artists and prof metal, both mostly instrumental. Chon is anime music though.
Unironically, Yes. I find myself listening to more instrumental guitar music now. Most of it is Neo Classical.
I guessill hope ej43s are good enough
Please can you recommend me some anime songs I could learn by ear? not too hard please
