how do i make a good practice routine.

theres so many things to pull from to play better, i kinda just focus on trying to memorize the notes on each fret which can get exhuasting, and looking at what notes fit in certain chords. But this is exhausting and i dont feel like im making much progress, as well as theres other things i feel not doing. alot of my practice just feels unsatisfying and i havent had much click yet in terms of playing past boring pentatonic wanking

to this day i still havent learned the fast run on sweet child o mine

I've decided after buying this in December that I'm never going to buy another guitar again. This took such a chunk out of my checking account but it was worth every penny of the $2500. Electric guitar does nothing for me anymore and I finally decided to get rid of all that gear. I don't even know how much money I've spent on gear in my 13 years playing but I know it's been the biggest expense of my life, more so than cars or rent. What is the point if you're not a professional musician?

Headstock is angled to get string tension over the nut leading to a weaker neck. This could be avoided by not trying to make an electric guitar with vertical pegs look like pic related, which mediates the problem pretty damn well by having the strings tied closer (inside) the headstock and the strings being just a tad straighter - straight enough to keep them in tune even with a nut that's beginning to wear out and old grungy strings. Electric guitars in general are plagued by form > function faggotry. Just look at your average metal band.

The bridge design is archaic and using the tailpiece instead of going straight through the body results in less string tension over the bridge in an already floppy short-scale guitar. Such bridges sacrifice aesthetics and a bit of tone for adjustability. And I believe they're cheaper to install because string heights are set when the slots are cut by CNC machine, instead of set with grub screws.

Supposedly people think these sustain for days. They actually sustain less than fender-length guitars (and longer), but the initial attack is softer so your brain doesn't think the note dies off as soon due to the more gradual taper down to nothing.

I don't really know what I'm talking about this is all guesswork and broscience

how to write stuff like bohemian rhapsody? as in harmony knowledge.

>less string tension over the bridge
Which is good for tuning stability and string breakage.
>adjustability
This is obviously the design's strength and why I personally love it. It is so fucking easy to set the action on an LP.
>sustain
The old LPs sustained more than the current ones. The old ones are heavy as fucking shit.

Truthfully? The only flaw is I can't afford one because I'm poor.

the day has come. my les paul's switch is failing. where do i tighten with a plier to make i last a bit more? some tech did it for me once and it worked.

Tuneomatics are less adjustable, but easier and cheaper to adjust.

Also I'm pretty sure they never sustained for that long. Sustain is a function of string tension and attack first and everything else dead last.

you poor soul

no, the new ones are heavy as shit because the good wood is gone and they're left with trees with high mineral content in them. maybe they're lighter now because theyre weight releifing these pos bodies.

Honestly, I prefer my string tension over the bridge to be the minimum necessary to keep the strings in the saddles when I bend strings and no more, for tuning stability and string breakage reasons.
>I need more sustain
Compression pedal.
>but muh dynamics
Compression pedal with a blend function. Alternately, a Fernandes sustainer. Alternately, an eBow. Alternately, point your pickups at your amp or rest your guitar's neck on your amp to induce controlled harmonic feedback. There's lots of ways to get sustain.

>Tfw have a fender hardtail with the strings divebombing straight into the body and have never broken a string

Just change them once a month fags

Every pre 1980 LP I've ever felt was significantly heavier than every post 2000 LP I've ever felt.

The gigging guitars get changed regularly.
The practice guitar gets changed when strings break.

right i cant argue with that

i literally stopped playing because i brake too many strings

LPs are chump change compared to shit like suhr, macmull, strandberg, schecter japan, ESP japan, carvin, etc.

actual gibson brand gibsons span further into poorfag price strange than non-SE PRS guitars. the shit they get is for $100 guitar quality control on $800 guitars. if you're above the poverty line and haven't fucked yourself with 3 kids, an iphone per family member, cable TV and internet, a name brand phone contract, multiple car loans, and god knows what else you can probably afford a genuine USA made gibson and get it cheaper than a USA made fender.

These all must be meme trash desu. Never heard of any of those.

the first two are overpriced bullshit
the third one is priced according to how fucking weird it is
the fourth and fifth are genuinely good and not overpriced for being hand made
the sixth is really fucking good

If you say so. I don't even care enough to look up random names on Google.

I have a silly question: are there any benefit in practicing scales at high speed when you don't plan to play steve vai shit?

Suhr is what all the studio musicians play

Are any of you guitar teacher? If so, what's your background?

I guess I'll give it a try then...

Another silly question: do people practice all scales without distinction or do they just pick their favorites and make it their speciality?
I know it's not the best idea if you want to play with othe rpeople, but I've been doing that for a while (just focus on the key of E) and I made a lot of progress.

I've largely abandoned scales in my improvisation.
You've got that backwards. Who do you think makes more money on average, aggressive humans or passive humans?

Who do you think makes more money in average
Studio musicians

Moving into a new place with a roommate soon. Any reccs for mini practice amps I can plug my headphones into? Was looking at the vox amplugs, they seem decent and a good price but I'm not a fan of how limited the sound on them is, the way they market 7 different types of them makes it seem like they're just trying to jew you into buying a whole bunch of different ones. Any second opinions on those? Would like something that is versatile.

>I've largely abandoned scales in my improvisation.
I don't mind learning scales. Theory is really helpful for me because I had zero musical education before I was 19 (in my case, studying it IS the shortcut to making decent music).

Did you really abandonned it? Maybe you just internalized it and stopped worrying about it.

I think all musicians tend to gravitate towards certain scales or patterns over others, even if it isn't intentional. Most guitarists go to minor pentatonic scales or the natural minor and major when soloing. Some guitar players, like Steve Vai, make a point of soloing in Lydian or Mixolydian to bring out the distinctive, spacey sounds of those scales/modes (there's an Ernie Ball video on YouTube where Vai's improvised lines are almost entirely in E Mixolydian). A lot of neoclassical shred guys like to solo in harmonic minor or play repeating diminished shapes, since those patterns sound very dramatic and reminiscent of Bach and Vivaldi, etc. As an improviser, there are more options to consider: you can work through simple diatonic modes as you play over changes (although I would suggest not trying to play a new scale or mode over each new chord, as you'll start to lose a sense of melody), or you can think about how smaller licks, arpeggios, enclosures, etc. might work with what you're playing over. The idea is to get so comfortable with different scales, arpeggios, licks, and other patterns that you don't need to think too much about what's going on in order to access the particular melodic device you want to use.

My sister has an old bass guitar made by some no-name company called Crescent laying around. The nut on the thing is broken. If I wanted to get into bass, would I get it fixed or am I better off buying a starter kit from a more reputable company?

>Did you really abandonned it?
Keyword largely.

I meant even go further, like just know how play in a few keys and cheat for the rest, like detuning, using capos and so on if you need to play in the key you didn't bother to study (I know that you just have to transpose, but sometimes it can be tricky).

Those Ernie Ball videos are pretty cool, I liked the one with Robin Finck.

Sheet music is dumb

>half steps between b/c e/f
>these are not notated as sharps/flats but like every other note, which are a whole step apart for the rest of the notation
>"dude C major lmao, only scale you need"
>guitar is tuned to E, all frets are half steps. no pairs of retard frets with a different interval

no shit nobody uses this without being told that they should, it makes no sense unless you're an 17th century clavier player who hasn't discovered even temperament

chromatic notation pls, i'd rather use tabs than larp as j.s. bach

It starts making more sense when you play piano.

>chromatic notation pls, i'd rather use tabs than larp as j.s. bach
Who said tablature wasn't a legitimate notation system?

literally the worst post ive ever read on Yea Forums

What if you play piano but only play in D minor

I have a real old epiphone sg that I want to upgrade since it was my first axe and am looking to get a snappy, bright lead sound of it. Any pickup recommendations? I'm thinking a Polyphia or Fall of Troy kind of sound.

It's not problem if you know how to play that scale on the piano (it actually makes things clearer).
But as a guitarist, yeah, it's not the most convenient.

unironically some scales are better for guitar because theyre more playable. its pretty rare to see something written in Ab or something

That was the plan. To give you depression.

hey guys i quit busking (vocals + acoustic guitar) for a while because on top of being bored with it, my gear was heavy and hard to charge, and it sounded uninspiring to boot -- when i come back to it, i think i wanna do the battery + inverter route with some nice gear

does anyone know if a silverface fender champ is loud enough to busk? i'm talking, as loud as a maxed out roland cute street EX

thanks folks

Yes, there are some reasons you should favor a scale over another depending on your instrument and what you do with the low end, but many times I read people (especially classicalfags) attributing special flavors to each key and that's complete BS.

sounds like you might be suffering from acute autism

The flavors thing is not BS, it's synesthesia. A portion of people with perfect ear can have it (which is why you hear people who had classical training as kids talking about it).
no one here has perfect ear, though

>but many times I read people (especially classicalfags) attributing special flavors to each key and that's complete BS.
thats a consequence of repertoire honestly. like for me personally hear A major as a bright key because of the pieces/songs ive heard in the key. same goes for rockfags who call d minor the saddest key when its CLEARLY g minor lol

go inhale some water like your hero faggot

There's no hierarchy in colors either. I guess you can associate feelings with colors (like yellow evokes sand, the sun, your mother's shirt or whatever), but I doubt that'd work with music.

OK, I can accept that, but in the absolute, the difference doesn't exist.

>There's no hierarchy in colors
Wrong.

Any starter kit you buy will come with a bass just as bad as the Crescent

Are you saying that red is better than blue for example? how so?
The primary/secondary colors is just a standard people agreed upon, it could have taken a different shape.

Tried a 60s slim taper, shits too thin. tried the les paul traditional, neck shape is to thin. tried a 59 custom shop, neck is too thin. tried an original 52 goldtop, the neck is to thin.

I'm used to playing a HUGE telecaster U-neck, so i want something that feels kinda samey on a Les Paul. ideas?
