What do you expect from a general mostly occupied by one shill, one shitposter and a tripfag that keeps changing his name when the other two filter him?
What makes someone go for three knobs in the first place? Go for 4, 2 or 1 on hair metal machines. 3 is just stupid (goes for strats too)
Hudson James
to each his own thinkin about it, i wish my tele had 3 volumes and think 4 knobs (to have equivalent tone knobs) would be too much
Brody Hernandez
Is it just me or these strings shit/inconsistent? Some packs I open are great but other times the strings come like crap and feel almost like they're slightly worn. Should I try D'Addario next?
plot twist: these three people are all the same person
Jacob Carter
Too loud compared too drums no compression maybe a bit bright, but outside a full band mix it's hard to tell
Ian Perry
I never got on with Slinkys and only use Daddarios on my electrics.
I did like GHS boomers ages ago, but for a while they were coming pre-rusted and I stopped using them
Gabriel Bailey
is it bad to open tuning with new strings? or there is something wrong with my acoustic guitar? every time i changed my 1st its always break, i tune it to e/d/c#
Adrian Brown
you went completely out of the question, why does it sound like a toy in comparision to the reference. do you want me to upload it without the drums for a farer comparision?
Aaron Scott
of course it does idiot you're tuning it super high
Samuel Lee
I'm embarrassed to say it, but I fell for the meme.
I squenched a smelly log of ass-butter out of my kakabutt. I had read that kaka was the secret to playing great guitar, so I smushed up the kaka and rubbed it into my frets, all over my strings, under my pickup covers... everywhere. I even took one of the last kaka pebbles out of my butt and smushed it into the output (it's not called an input, guys) jack of my guitar.
Now I have a guitar with my own shit on it and my scales sound terrible.
Does it take some time for the kaka to "bake in" or is there something I'm missing?
Cooper Rogers
high? it's e string/1st string it's standard and the highest possible, how is it super high?
Kayden Bennett
does it look like samuel's guitar now?
Charles Anderson
right, what strings did you tune to d and c#
Luke Wood
1st, i tuned my 1st to e/d/c# and after some plays and tuning it just breaks i guess i need something checked the bridge or something later
Jace Nelson
based
Liam Phillips
you mean you kept changing the tuning? yeah maybe it's the bridge
For starting out that's pretty good user. Have fun!
David Wilson
Why are the F and F#m chord shapes so magical
You can play like 15 different chords with it depending what fret you’re on
Nathan Torres
I made up a new tuning system. There is DADGBE, which lets you play power chords on the bottom 3 strings, so I dropped the G to E. This way I can use all the notes in the instrument, rather than just the ones on the bottom 3 strings.
Joshua Hernandez
Them P90s will make a lot of noise when you plug that thing in but looks like fun and you should probably learn to control that hum eventually anyway.
Alexander Scott
You’re guessing what notes to play. You’re not listening to the backtrack. You have no build, no tension or release. You’re just guessing, which is extremely obvious because literally every 4 notes you hit are out of key. It’s the equivalent to mindlessly scribbling on a piece of paper and calling it art. No wonder you’re so fucking lonely all the time, you’re a fraud.
guys i'll be the one to ask a dumb question here, how does one practice playing guitar? i """know""" how to play because i can make a song out of chords and not break my fingers while doing that, but how do you improve? like, my friends can improvise on the spot and they can play pretty much anything, and there's me. sometimes i pick up my guitar and go "alright what the fuck do i do now" any advice how to ACTUALLY learn to play?
im gonna guess your friends can improvise well because they spent hours practicing over backing tracks.
before that you gotta practice your scales and know the fretboard better
look up pebber brown on youtube
Justin Morgan
Thanks for the feedback
Levi Bailey
Sorry if it was harsh but sometimes people need to be pushed. Everything I said was true.
Adrian Harris
I've got a quick question about replacement parts. My bass uses 2x 2MB0007LBK and 2x 2MB0007RBK tuners from Ibanez originally. Those tuners here look identical from what I can tell, but I'm not sure if they are a match. Does anyone know if they are the same or if I'll end up having to drill new holes or something if I get these?
guys my les paul is sounding great with the new bridge and tailpiece, will deliver a clip in a minute
Xavier Torres
Gibsons are outdated. The headstock isn't even optimized for tuning stability. And it has a headstock.
You'll never be taken seriously in this new era of guitar as a niche instrument if you use something that says "i came here to play crazy train and fuck bitches, and i'm afraid to talk to girls". Hard rock stars are dead and dismissed. The only classics people still respect are single coil guitars. Gibsons have their place in history and they need to stay there. What you need now son, is a .Strandberg*.
just started and the links in the op are ded, what do I have a question, I can read a tab, I know some chords, but how do I play that ? I don't understand is it one chord over and over then another one ?
listen to the song if you want to imitate it. these are just where the chord changes are in relation to the vocal melody. learn some strum patterns or just do what the original does
Also, learn songs that aren't written by eurotrash
Tyler Jenkins
>les paul $1000 >fender american strat $1000 >strandberg $2500
/gg/ is too poor to shill those and too untalented to justify even wanting to buy one
>tfw after you finally got the nice guitars bass and recording gear, your hands are seriously ill and you dont have the time or drive to play anymore and you lost the creative flow and your head has gone fuckin slow
No chance. Give up when you can transcribe as fast as someone can play.
Zachary Carter
You can really hear the brass
Luis Butler
Yea sorry, I play it on a classical though cuz no money for a proper flamenco guitar
Jaxson Perez
I wanan fuck this lil tart!
Zachary Kelly
Wish he'd pursue the black metal project again. Demarcus from /prod/ should drop his trap shit and focus on dungeon synth. That would be a sick split release.
Eli Wilson
Beautiful. Just so you know, two of the replies are 900fag with his trip removed.
Michael Morris
it sounds a lot better than the old bridge. the 2khz harshness is lesser and the tone is more round and lively

i'm barring the a chord and the asus4 with the ring and middle fingers because my index still hurts,,, am i the next django?
Lincoln Wilson
multiscale? what does that even mean
Caleb Evans
Needs compression. Roll back your tone knob and the treble on the amp somewhat. If you're using fuzz, add more dry signal (if your pedal allows) to recover some of the lost low end.
Henry Jenkins
Lmfao >he fell for the meme
How come the timestamps are never of the full body with headstock ?
Jack Sullivan
Lmfao @ musiciansfriend stupid deal of the day today
I don't, but I've been meaning to get into it. Is there any advantage in learning on a < 50$ shitty classical guitar to figure out the proper technique?
Okay that sounds pretty good in the mix like that. If it sounds too muddy when you roll off the treble a bit, try boosting mids a little and see how that sounds to you. I think you're well inside territory of good enough here though. Getting stuff to sound like professionally recorded tracks is difficult.
Hudson Lee
how to improve the mixing, you seem to know stuff
Jaxon Lopez
Oh I dunno that much. My whole approach to audio mixing is a lot of 'that sounds... off somehow, maybe move this knob or add this effect or twiddle with this other thing' etc. A lot of trial and error. Just trust your ears. Ask bandmates for input.
Kayden Thompson
Reposting because you niggas hate me.
So I inherited my dad's Washburn and I want to actually put it to use, unlike his 2 years of occasional playing followed by 5 years of dust collection. So, how should I go about this? I've never played in my life, but would like to. It would improve my dexterity and hand-eye coordination some.
Alexander Price
Thoughts? I have zero idea what I tuned it to, I used my ears.
thats what i do too but i cant seem to get the mix better than this current state. i'm doing this by myself on my bedroom, playing everything and programming the drums. ironically enough, i didnt show up for my actual band recording session today morning because i forgot about it and went to sleep too late on the internet.
Mason Ross
wtf this conversation? neither posts make sense
Brayden Wilson
Hokie dokie. First, let's get that guitar back in to playing shape. You will need:
>digital tuner >fretboard cleaner (you can use naphtha if you like) >pure mineral oil from pharmacy or amazon >new set of strings
Remove old strings, clean fretboard by dabbing a bit of fretboard cleaner on a cotton piece of cloth. Paper towel tends to shred when you do this so cloth is better. Old t-shirt works fine. Give it a good once over. Allow a few minutes to dry. With clean cloth, rub a bit of mineral oil in to the wood. Allow 10 minutes to soak in, then wipe off the excess. Put on new strings, consult youtube tutorials for how to adjust truss rod, intonation, and tuning. Always do it in this order: bring to standard tuning, adjust truss rod, adjust intonation, then tune again.
>ironically enough, i didnt show up for my actual band recording session today morning because i forgot about it and went to sleep too late on the internet.
you rack a disciprine
Ryder Walker
Impressions my dude, I could basic noise if you want desu
Connor Walker
Thanks user, now might I ask what strings would go well for a low-end ion tuning? (I'm thinking for the sake of how long it's been strung without use.)
Kayden Cruz

gibson is absolute shit
Colton Cox
based. a harp has a multiscale. a piano has a multiscale. it's only proper that all string instruments have a multiscale. >multiscale banjos, bois.
what are you using for the open hi-hat track? you could eq it by scooping 2k-4k and adding a low pass filter above 12k if it's live drums. if it's a drum sample program like ez drummer you could just choose a better sample or turn the volume down on that specific track, or lower the midi note velocities for the open hi-hat.
Justin Reyes
So... I have a space on my pedal board.
Starting at top left, in chain order Power pack Tuner Compressor Chorus Delay Darkglass A/O
What's up with all those 60s /70s guitar players who would rather use their thumb on the low E string instead playing a barre cord with their index?
Angel Richardson
>Darkglass A/O why is your overdrive after everything else?
Nicholas Martinez

John Jones

Aaron Cooper
because they're more advanced.
Nathan Martinez
Wut? Just tune to standard.
Luis Rogers
maybe they just had big hands back then
Caleb Anderson
I rarely use it in combination with anything (other than compressor), but in that order I can get some pretty gnarly sounds if band are doing heavy/crescendo type stuff... I've tried it both ways - started off with it the other way round, but it sounds "better" for what I want.
MBV type sound
Aiden Brooks
thumb on E is the natural endgame for any good blues guitarist, it just suits that playing style really well
Oliver Ward
yep same
When I learned to play classical style my speed increased greatly and I haven't had any pain even playing Barre chord songs for several minutes at a time
Jackson Lewis
ezd as the rest of the kit ok ill find a smoother sample. i picked that one because on the original song it's very trebly.
Caleb Sanders
>ezd just lower the velocity on the open hat hits in the piano roll. open hats are sometimes fucky with sampled drums.

If were talking about the korean made ones schecter and dean are from the same factory. So schecter should be next to dean.

Except Schecter does it's QC and setup in the US
Josiah Lee
i have a taylor from 1997, an i brought it in for a tune up. and i feel like they were judging me for not taking care of it. also they said it was a classic. but it is in pretty good shape for having been played and used.
Hudson Clark
cool story. pic?
Alexander Scott
this post offends me
Justin Hughes
My latest dean was setup at the factory in tampa fl.
Who does this belong to? I can't imagine someone being into Roland Synth Guitar and also into fake relic shit, looks like someone died and their relatives threw their guitar away.
Should I buy this? Seems like this shouldn't be available anymore with the rosewood ban in effect. Pretty good price when you consider what fender charges for one.
>posts pic of a dude with verebral and mocks him Wow youre a real man. Watch out everyone.
