Saved me from making a thread for this:
I want a guitar with humbuckers as a second instrument, and I've always liked SGs, however I'm torn between a Gibson and Epiphone. I'm not a professional musician, don't really plan to be one and I'm not even in a band. I just play for fun in my bedroom. If I am not a professional musician and I want a second guitar to cover more sound possibilities what would you recommend? Would the difference in quality be relevant to someone like me? I've heard the pick ups aren't amazing, but I don't mind swapping them out, it's more about the build quality of the whole instrument and how it plays. I'm not sure if purchasing a Gibson is worth it for someone like me.
>Cheep practice space for apartment dwellers when?
It's called mini storage
>my dino is gone
i honestly don't know if i want to be here anymore now
...
Find an Epiphone and play it in store, shop used w/e. The main issue with Epis are the consistency, some times they are shit, but there are plenty of great ones. You can replace the pickups etc later, so I'd focus on condition and quality of the neck mostly. Either way don't buy a new gibson, qc is horrendous and they are overpriced as fuck. I'd look for one of the higher end epiphones used.
Honestly just go in the store and try out a bunch from your price range if you're not concerned about the label. As long as you like the sound should be good.
>gibson
lol
they're finnicky about tuning stability if the nut isn't perfect, they break easily (Sometimes in the official hardcase), and they charge custom fender prices for mexican fender quality.
professionals who play them get the privilege of having the best of the lot picked out for them and polished up into the shiniest turd. everyone else plays a "period incorrect" fender with humbuckers, PRS, ibanez prestige, ESP, etc.
Tried that there was noise restrictions on the area the local one was located in.
Find a different one
Unfortunately I don't have a store nearby, it's why I came here to ask, I have to do everything by internet research which sucks. But thanks, for now I'm leaning towards the Epi.
try wearing headphones
Listen man gibson is going broke for a reason.
Save yourself the QC crapshoot and go find a place to try them out in person or order from a more consistent marque like PRS. PRS SEs and schecters are also a good choice for your price range (same factory).
No headphone jack on a blues junior.
Look for shit online that let's you return it then. No idea where you live though.
it was a magical day🌈
Get a used Gibson.
How's QC on Harley Benton or Agile?
I have 2 PRS SEs that I'm very happy with(especially the Tremonti...that thing is is a beast and I got a limited run color used for almost half the price of one new)
Agiles are made out of the same factory right? They're about the same price too yes? Am I getting more bang for my buck with those?

they do make some pretty nice instruments though

Dude needs a better amp.
>American Life
That's one of the more approachable Claypool bass lines. It's not difficult to play but can be a stamina test to keep it tight for the entire song.
Get a PRS SE

I have no strong opinion on PRS.
No, but flamed maple tops are pretty lame. And I'm saying this as someone who has a PRS SE 277 a with flamed maple top.
Flame is ok, quilt is acceptable, anything else is gay and lame.
Solid color matte finishes only
I don't like matte, because it becomes gloss in some places eventually anyway.
PRS is soulless
epiphone are cool enough for the price you can get them.
Modifying them is cool because you don't get scared to screw up smtg
It really is. Sounds sterile as fuck and looks the part. Probably great for pedal fiddlers looking for a neutral base tone blargh

Once a week I jam with friends for about 4 or more hours, every other day I play along to jam tracks until my hand gets tired or hurts or I get bored. Remember to play both major and minor as well as modes and different genres. Lately I've been playing more jazz, blues, hard rock kind of tracks but I used to play psychedelic and funk a lot. Most of the time I'm trying to figure out songs, made one using bossa plucking and just recently made a power chord heavy phyrigian track that I'm gonna bring to the jam on Thursday.
One thing I've noticed with phyrigian is that it's very repetitive in its classical form (middle eastern shit) but you can interject it into metal pretty easily and it doesn't sound too bad.
Oh I hate that
Hmmm, not sure about that body though. The pattern on the headstock is fine but the whole body having it + straight lines for the neckthrough makes it kinda tacky.
It's lacewood
You’re so fucking lonely lmao
It looks weird.
I dread the day where I get handed a guitar without markers. Playing maple already threw me off after only playing dark fretboards before
Would be cool if the body looked like that. Reminds me of german ww2 camo patterns.
i want to practice but some mom relative that makes me feel bad is on the house and i dont feel good making my music on this situation
what is a normal person/musician's thoughts on this situation?
Fuck off, Samuel.
i feel very shy and locked and i'm afraid of even moving my hands on the guitar, my body is shivering
I love my Telecaster!
Am I retarded? I'm trying to restring an old bass but when I turn the tuning key for the low E counter-clockwise, the peg starts rotating clockwise. It rotates the opposite way of all my other guitars. Do I just turn the key the other way? otherwise my string will end up coming at the nut at a bad angle
bass is not for you
>I dread the day where I get handed a guitar without markers
Most of the time those still have small markers on the side of the neck. I'm not sure i've ever seen a neck without fret markers on the side. Even fretless basses have them.
You should try practising with your eyes closed, user. In a few weeks it won't be a problem.
Sounds like breathing isn't for him
turn key whichever way it needs to go to wind string on the desired side of the peg
Retards
Thanks
Its lame because you have an SE, a real carved top looks way different/better
>Retards
I'm not the one asking if a tuning key can go both ways.
Thanks for confirming you're retarded

Is it abig deal if my bass is unplayable past 15th-17th fret unless i bend strings?
How often dobassists play that high?
Also my bass gets noticably louder as i go higher on the frets
you say that because youre not me
whaddyawanna play above the 12th fret for anyway? That's fruity faux guitarist territory. No good bass lines up there. Also tune to BEAD. You don't need no G. G is wank string for tight pants wearing wankers.

has it been helping you? I wasnt sure if it was a meme or not
Is that the chart I've seen floating around? is there a more in-depth breakdown?
There's an ad for one in my area but it doesn't have a Floyd Rose on it like the other models. I thought about getting it but I'm better off just getting an Ibanez Prestige.
Is bass guitar for retards
no. it's for people who want to have fun on their instrument without much training or studying.

if you go with a cheap guitar replace the tuning machines with some nice grover tuners and replace the pickups with a reputable brand. coil split the pickups and you'll have a pretty versatile instrument.

GUITAR IS TURNING YOU GAY
Hello
No pickup rings and were getting onto something
>watch people perform live
>tfw will never know that feel
I went to a guitar shop today to try some out even though I can't play. I liked Telecaster appearance but it felt heavy. Les Paul feels awkward to hold and they didn't have any Mustangs which I wanted to try. I don't like Ibanez because they seem very edgy. What should I get? Are certain guitars better for different genres?
Guitars dont matter too much between genre
What matters is pickups
Humbuckers are better for metal and the like
The only time body matters is in semi hollowbody guitars which are those big things with the f holes
They usually get a fuller tone and are good for jazz but can have massive feedback
Dude just make yourself happy and get a Gibson SG! The money you spend on it will drive you to learn how to play it.
>$10 of electronics
>a $20 metal box
>$70+ of hand soldering and small batch production labor costs because somehow proper mass production isn't good enough even for established brands because while it's good enough for most consumer electronics, that would wreck massive amounts of important personal data or be nonfunctional if the circuit was ever a little off, mass production is somehow bad for your "tone"
Someone explain the pedal industry to me.
t. loyal behringer customer
Play what you like. There are no rules in music. Just remember the amp is well over half the sound and don't forget to try out all those knobs and switches on the guitar itself.
And then sell it a year later when you've figured that you like something else
Is that a CBS tele or some other brand? I notice that the heel/neck mount to the body is longer which is usually only a CBS thing. Either way that looks good and the lizard is a handsome bastard
Also, the flat pole pieces, bridge plate, that might even be a contoured heel, top hat switch. Is that an American?

expensive pickups are a sham
the most authentic metal tone i ever heard was unidentified chink pickups through a roland cube

Make sure the neck and the guitar as a whole is comfortable and enjoy how it looks. You won't want to pick it up otherwise.
This general is garbage
Thanks
>buy pic related from an online store

I bought this squire strat as my first guitar and I'm enjoying it so far but I want to replace the strings as these feel shitty, what should I get anons?
Ask for student gauges (10-46). Chances are you're using junior gauges currently as most guitars ship with them (9-42). Alternatively ask for hybrid student gauges which are thicker on the bottom for more bass and drop tunings (10-52).
So i decided that I'm going to buy a Player Jazzmaster. But what color should i get?
hello lads after learning all basic chords and minor versions and getting the hang of the caged system where should i look next to expand my chord arsenal?
how do you balance playing in multiple bands?
Have you tried this in a store? It's extremely muddy even for a humbucker equipped guitar. Feels like the tonepot is rolled down to 7 at all times.

Fortunately there were no girls around. But how do I get used to playing in front of people? Is it a legit tactic to just go to the guitar store and practice there in front of the other customers? Should I start trying open mic nights?
I want a blacktop tele so bad
just join a band for fucks sake
If you are shit alone, you are shit in public (simple as)
You need to be able to play the common chords (power, major, minor, suspended second, suspended fourth, dominant seventh, minor seventh, major seventh) all over the fretboard: every voicing and inversion. When you have those down, move onto the jazzy stuff.
He can always swap the pickups.
Who do you live with? Start by casually playing a bit when you're watching TV with them or whatever.
Then just join a band, you'll play in front of your bandmates and then eventually on a stage.
But I'm way shitter in public, how do I get over this handicap and start being equally shit in both environments?
First you breath in, then you work on your social anxiety and low selfworth as a whole. Only then think about ever practicing guitar especially working on repertoire of songs for public playing.
>He can always swap the pickups.
Not a big fan of that sentiment personally but it's up to him. When buying a guitar for 500+ dollars I'd expect to like it as is.
I live in student halls, we don't have a TV room. We just have our bedrooms, the bathroom and the kitchen.
Sometimes I do play in front of my best friend and that's okay because he's someone I really trust.
1000+ dollars*
So join a band.
Best way to approach is buy a guitar that feels good and sounds good unplugged. Then If you don't like the plugged-in sound, replace the pickups.
>and sounds good unplugged
This but unfortunately most stores I've been to string guitars up with 9-42 which sound like ass both unplugged and plugged in
This is true.
People who never gigged should refrain from giving advice because it's obviously always so retarded that it doesn't even warrant a fair reply back informing them of their retardation
(You)
Everytime I see someone here recommend expensive guitars I simply know he never played on a stage. Every guitar sounds good with a great and loud amp.
Squier
actually unironically this
Most people in these threads are just rich kids bragging about shit they just play in their bedroom. Pretty much everyone listening to music live in a bar or whatever won't be able to tell the difference between a 200$ Squier and a near identical 1200$ Fender, and won't give a shit either way bar extreme gear autists.
wew you just admitted you’re poor and have never been in a band all in one post.
>rich kids
Dude get a job lmfao
Like fuckin clockwork
Tell me kid, what's your tax bracket
Better yet buy LINK
It’s 22% and I’m 28. Get a job and stop making excuses for yourself.
12%, 42k a year and a family of four. Just because someone says they don't mind cheaper shit doesn't mean they're automatically jobless.
You guys need to move out of your parents' basement and get jobs so you can buy some decent gear.
I don't want a job because that means giving up valuable time that could be spent playing my tax-payer subsidized Squire.
Oh sorry, get a *better* job.

Actually this. You can’t become a guitar god if you have a job because you have to practice full time.

Git gud.
Making the Hello Kitty Strat sound good is what separates the men from the boys.
Not everyone pays buttrock you brainlet.
Lets have a good day practicing :)
yeah but a hello kitty strat has clout in a different way, it's not a regular ass squier
>tfw I want to play black metal but I'm not a teenager anymore
it depends on the bass player and genre. you only really need the first 6 frets to play anything, you could play a lot of things on the first 3 frets.
>Also my bass gets noticably louder as i go higher on the frets
cant help you with that tho
Do you guys have a definitive list (for beginners) of the best makers? Which makers should I stay away from? I’m looking for a guitar to make dream pop/shoegaze and maybe even noise pop. My budget is $900
There are plenty of black metal virgins in their late twenties, don't worry you'll be in good company
It's all about the pedals in your case
Learn some jazz standards
good bass playing is really hard to achieve just like you could pick up a bass and play in few hours you could do the same with guitar
i got my low b from juststrings
I hear music man is good.
I can attest to the quality of PRS, their SE stuff is good.
At 900$ you might be able to get entry level American but I'm starting to think it's a meme marketing ploy. Factories can be great or shoddy in any country.
What you want is a Squire offset (any will do, take your pick, if you're going to take playing shoegaze seriously you'll end up replacing parts of it anyway) then take the remainder of your budget and invest it in effects pedals.
why do you put faces on your guitars?
Because it’s cute!
>Dream pop
>Shoegaze
>Noise pop
>$900
That sounds like a MIM Fender Jazzmaster or Telecaster to me.
learn jazz tunes that you like find out why you like them chords,melody etc. try writing your own music with the knowledge fail then try again.
interesting
ffs just buy any guitar in your price range if cheap make it playable grind, then play whatever guitar you want because of said grinding. i had to play an acoustic bass few a nights ago with the action being light years high. not saying that i'm *insert bass master* but i put some time in.
Sir, could you shop an angry tough guy face on this esp black metal?
if he put Guts from Berserk that be great
Yes i have. I dont really have a problem with it. It's also coil tapped so the single coils sound pretty good
It's a squier mate

Hal Leonard's "Bass Method" is in the MEGA link you're downloading, take a look at that.
scott's bass lessons has some decent free content on youtube, not really a step for step program though
>Hal Leonard's "Bass Method"
okay ill start with this is it a step by step program? i havent played an instrument before so im not sure what to expect
okay ill check those out once i feel like i know what im doing
Yes, it starts with the absolute basics. It's a complete textbook series that comes with audio so you know what you're supposed to sound like.
>so you know what you're supposed to sound like.
thank fucking god this is exactly what i needed thanks a bunch user
I would also recommend getting a teacher. Just $20 once a month to make sure you're not making stupid mistakes will save you years of headaches.
t. someone who is self-taught and held his pick wrong for the first year.
BUT I'M A CREEP
You could just youtube stuff too but ya.
Yeah, but YouTube can't give you feedback on your technique. We're trying to eliminate mistakes that won't be noticed by the player.
For example, my girlfriend does this thing where she anchors behind the nut even when trying to stretch to a distant fret. It's bizarre. She also has the standard flying-pinky problem. On top of that, she tucks her elbow into her stomach and sometimes locks her wrist at ninety degrees - both great ways to get RSI.
I doubt YouTube would be able to point these things out to her as quickly as ten minutes with a teacher.
Rush the stage user

...So what do I do if my teacher is no longer correcting my form?
I've been playing total for about a year and a half now and he says my technique is fine and I should focus more on theory stuff.
...But I still feel like trash. It's taking me a long ass time to learn the solo from Fade to Black for instance, plus I'm a little lazy I guess.
9-42 is the best gauge, not a student gauge
Don't fall for the lies about thicker tone.
>when interviewed, steve vai recounted that he had to practice for hours a day
I was giving advice to an absolute beginner who has just bought his first bass.
In your case, drill your technique with a metronome every day and see a teacher every now and then for a checkup. Pink Suhr's practice routine is posted regularly.
And perhaps you should listen to your teacher and learn some theory.
Nobody in the audience can tell if it's a gibson les paul, PRS SE, or chinese HH strat by the sound, sure, but nothing plays like a strandberg.
I've been using the metronome for easier rhythm stuff now, I'll try using it for *everything*. But man, it's fuck hard following a simple metronome and not just the backing track or whatever when your fingers have to move a million notes per minutes.
BATTALIONS
OF FEAR
nobody plays to a metronome and only the downbeats match up for fast stuff
but using one is how you start automatically doing that at all/better than before
>it's fuck hard
You should be starting at a tempo you can play perfectly, and only increasing it gradually.
What is the best series of Fender Stratocaster? I've never owned one, and have no idea which series to look into before I purchase one. Ideally something under $1k, and without noiseless p'ups.
Second-hand CIJ. Jap versions have far better QC than even MIAs. Just change the pickups.
Whatever happened to Sammy?
I play the bass so they wont like it anyway
If I plug pic related into my PC, run the effects, and plug the other end into my amp, will it play work?
player series is alright
but given the fact that it's an old model of gutiar you must beware the mojofags who will try and tell you their "legendary" old model is the best, up to and including the ones who make "ultra vintage" custom guitars. at the first hint of fretboard material influencing "tone", or the word "tone" at all really, turn tail and run before they infect you with bedroom warrioritis and you end up stuck playing sweet child of mine over and over.
He became king after he stole our hearts :)
t. probably uses a modeling amp
Pic related it's my wallet. I replaced worthless dollars with timeless tone. You jelly?
Affirmation
my fingers hurt :(
green
kevin shields only used jazzmasters but desu i would get a cheap guitar with a whammy bar, a cheap amp and spend the rest in effect pedals
no
What's the matter? Can't handle your little baby gauges? Maybe it's time for 9-42
I just got a guitar and I have been playing for the last 4 hours and it fucking hurts
that's normal, lol. get to playing more and let your fingers callous up over time and it'll stop hurting.
Don't complain unless they start bleeding. Then stop; you don't want to stain the fretboard.
yeah i know but in the meantime it sucks
>inb4 pussy
>not superglueing your tips back on
are you even trying?
If you can still superglue your fingers back together, you're not playing hard enough.
Save up for an american pro.
You know...I used to think it was all a bunch of horse shit too but apparently severe autists like Rob Chapman can actually fucking hear a difference.
Insane. I joke about his autism but his savant skills are more than apparent.
Any with common sense knows hes full of marketing and bullshit. I wonder when the last time he got laid was.
You realise that he's blindfolded in that video and that he has a wife?
I would call bullshit too but I really REALLY doubt they would intentionally cheat the results like that. Also The motherfucker called out a 2k spike on the poly and it was confirmed by software.
Unreal.
You may not like their personalities but they do seem like genuine blokes.
I didnt watch it of course. Just cuz he has a wife doesnt mean hes the one fucking her. But i guess she has to give it uo once in a while to keep the sucker fooled.
Hes a charlatan through and through.
>I didnt watch it of course
Exactly. How's your baby momma?
Explain pls.
don't know anything about them other than through their youtube videos.
He didn't even watch the video, why would you assume his opinion has any merit?
Seen other videos. If you werent marketing your shit you wouldnt need to invent a personality. If its about the guitar then stfu and play guitar.
So nobody has a personality unless they're marketing something?
how can one person be so repeatedly wrong in comment after comment, thread after thread, week after week
give up the guitar, its not for you
I've wondered this myself, particularly after this post: I've concluded that 900fag is simply an unfortunate example of someone who is very, very stupid.
>stalks my comments sonis clearly here as much as i am
>give up guiyar because you hurt my feelings
Hahahah what a faggot
>changing your name so people can't filter you
>waaah people are stalking me waaaahh
Nobodys feelings are hurt, you're just painfully dumb.
>seething
Lmfao
you dont need to be seething, theyre just trolling you
Not what the (you) count says
youve replied to their baiting a lot but that doesnt mean you need to be angry
/gg/...trolls trolling trolls and not even realizing they're being trolled while trolling.
I want to post this before the thread archives
Based mini me rocking the house
>damage control
>(you)
My favorite part is when 900fag starts talking to himself:
They’re just so cute and wittle
I thought the lmao guy was Sammy. Haven't been keeping up apparently.
Jcum changed his name to that after Sammy destroyed him. That was such a good day.
Yeah, jcum keeps changing his name to avoid filters. Apparently he's less intelligent than Sammy in this respect, who posted anonymously for a long time for the same reason.
You can always tell him though, because he tries too hard.
You the guy that called me sammy like 2 days ago?
The best thing about guitar duels is that someone always throws their toys out of the pram afterwards.
>Jcum: Lonely Edition
Never forget :)
This was me
I always enjoy this image.
>samefagging this hard
What are you trying to prove whats your end goal? And why do i rustle your jimmies? lmfao
Yeah thats the post. Not sammy and tremolo systems are cool and youre too poor to get that esquire.
It's like 300 bucks. I can afford that alright, littlefoot.
Who are you talking to?
Then what guitar am i thinking of?... Maybe the broadcaster. Why the esquire tho?
I don't like tele neck pickups and P90 teles are limited runs. The performer HS is too expensive for me considering I won't use it that much. Mainly interested in the tele bridge with 11s or 12s for an Eb tuned guitar
NEW THREAD WHEN?
I guess. But why a tele?
