Don't be salty user, if you want to dethrone the Kin/gg/ all that's required is winning a duel with him. You can talk shit all you want but if you want to be seen as anything other than a stammering woman then you need to step up and throw the gauntlet down like a real man.
Until then you will remain the bitch you are.
lmao
final destination
How the fuck do you even perform fast tempo songs without a warm up? I have to take like thirty minutes to speed up a riff from nothing until I can play it at a proper speed. Any other strategies to approach quick passages? I can't nail it just right outta the gate.
Well I mean ideally you should be warming up beforehand anyway
>lol look I messed up all the links
what kinda meme is this?
How do I play like Omar Rodriguez? What should I learn to get his style?
How much of a fart-smeller would I be if I decide to learn classical guitar while actively avoiding using tablature?
Lmao people actually come here for the links? Are you totally helpless?
Let’s try to get along this thread :)

>You can talk shit all you want but if you want to be seen as anything other than a stammering woman then you need to step up and throw the gauntlet down like a real man.
A positive AIDS diagnosis helps too.
Don't try to be the next him, be the first you.
There's nothing wrong in studying another guitarist's playing style.
A consummate fart-smeller.
You would also be fairly intelligent, since most classical pieces are on sheet music anyway, making tablature reading pretty pointless.
Yes, but there's studying, then they're copying.
The theme of “learning things stifles creativity” is strong in these threads.
True. I totally agree with that. But at the same time if you feel like one of their songs could use a bit of flair from yourself that you think sounds good? there’s nothing wrong with that either. it’ll help develop your own music sense too instead of playing 100% verbatim all the time
>actively avoiding using tablature?
Stupid. Here is tool made for guitar to speed up sight reading. I won't use it because ivory tower faggots think it's lazy.
This. Use every tool available to learn.
You'd be surprised how deeply entrenched that idea can be in fine art academia. I went to art school (mistake!) and once heard a professor criticize another for teaching linear perspective because she thought it was boring.
Because these threads are full of idiots
Ideally, yeah. But I have an audition for a band coming up and I can't play one part of a song unless I get like 30 minutes of practice to get it up to speed. What the fuck should I do?
if I broke my high e should I immediately remove all the other strings? I imagine the uneven tension is bad for the neck
is this a meme?
No tension is even worse. It wont twist the neck all shit-like if you just lay it down until you can replace it.
Buncha dumbfucks
Also, because art school.
They ARE the Kool-Aid.
That too

>your agent tells you to bring a guitar to the photoshoot that'll make people want to listen to you
>you don't show up with an ESP
the main criticism is that you can't easily identify the notes and won't know what you're playing.
with sheet music you just can't easily identify the fingerings.
this is why if you ever grab a book of sheet music instead of googling "naruto opening song guitar tabs" you have tabs for sight reading running under standard notation for understanding.

What a fucking awful song though.
This is why bass players are not the front of the band
i've never known white people to be very good at playing bass in a rock/pop context and just expect it.
white people playing rhythm always feel like there's a processing delay in their head so they're either anticipating the beat or reacting to it. maybe it's cultural, or maybe there's a couple genes switched around that change the way a majority of european brains process music, or a complete loss of a sense that makes people have to think music instead of feel music, that's responsible for the massive tradition of melodic compositions and complete void where the drum beats popular with literally every other population usually are. fuck if i know, it could be completely unrelated like a genetic difference in how empathy is felt, since rhythm requires locking in with another person's actions. if white empathy has a processing delay where it's routed through more facilities to account for our tendency towards elaborate etiquette, that could be it.
it's not all but maybe 70% of white people lack it while 90% of everyone else has it. or just people from aristocratic bloodlines don't have it. it's not even a racist superiority thing, probably a fact of life like the difference between who gets a sunburn and who can get their month's supply of vitamin D by stepping outside on a rainy day. so i don't sweat the fact that i will never be "groovy" at bass and rhythmic playing styles, i'm just part of the 70% that was born to be bad it. so it's a good thing we have bands where you can play with someone who's good at it and just turn them down in the mix so it's not as obvious that they're more in time than you, who can only match up with the drummer on downbeats.
What utter tripe.
It's true.
>name a good white bassist
>uhhhh, flea?
>name a good black bassist
>uhhh, all of them?
Lmao Adam Neely get wrecked clown
(you)
Yeah it's bait, but aside form him phrasing it "white bass players suck" in a thread where there are a lot of white bass players (such as myself) the discussion of how differently rhythm is perceived between cultures is an interesting topic.
>flea
hes not even that good
you suck dog

You didn't say there was only one good white bassist, you said that 70% of white people are genetically incapable of playing bass well.
anyone got someone playing this?

Hey /gg/, so weird question but what if someone, like some random asshole, just straight up breaks your guitar while you're out playing somewhere (and it's not a cheap guitar either). Like either they're drunk or they're some faggot e-celeb Instagramer who grabs your guitar off it's stand and drops it before you get after them (but that's just an example). Is there anything you can do? Are there any specific laws that make it so the dude who did it has to cover the cost of repair? I tried looking this up on Google but all I got was terrible results like "How to replace your strings" for 5 pages straight.
Its called suing someone in civil court

Basically everything but classical.
not that i know, why?

Bad news? I just cut the tip off my index finger.
Good news? It was just the very tip, and it's on my picking hand.
Is it just me or are pickups super fucking overpriced
I get pedals costing $50 or even $60. That makes perfect sense when you take into account parts (some of that shit costs a couple bucks, not even counting the metal enclosure), labor, and business overhead for operating in the USA. Some of them go up to $100 for no reason but being fancier pedals and commanding more "ooh, aah" value. Let's just ignore the "boutique" shit like $200 distortions. That's definitely a rip off. And I get a whole guitar costing upwards of $500 given the exotic hardwoods used and the labor-intensive production. Entirely hand made guitars costing thousands makes perfect sense too, even if you think they don't sound any better.
However these pickups definitely aren't being hand wound but when you take everything into account they should cost a good bit less than a basic pedal at an honest price.
Is there any hope of getting into the pickup business as a seller of reasonably priced equipment when so much of the shit driving sales is placebo? You could make a pickup, and SD could make the exact pickup down to the nuances of your winding machine and sell it for $30 more and some faggot would say it has "better tone". The Seymour Duncan name changes the magnetic field with its magical properties i guess?
guitar companies will ship their stuff with $30 pickups installed and people will say it sounds better than aftermarket
if you want to sell pickups at actual value sell them to a guitar company
this jam sounds good
youtube.com
Get them made by artec and sell them for 40. Oh wait, GFS already does that to varying degrees of success but really 0 impact on the pro market.
But seriously, they're just wire wrapped around a magnet, no reason to pay for a brand or a name unless you like the sound.
I don't like SD at all, never had one of their pickups for more than a month, I think Planet Tone makes way better pickups for 60 a pop, but not because I think it's a fair price, just because I liked the sound.
Most if its retail markup just because of the name. The other thing is, a lot of aftermarket pickups are 'consistent' in that they're made to a more consistent spec. So if you listen to demos and shit, they're actually pretty close to what you expect tone wise from the pickups.
All the magnets do sound different, and alnico and ceramic both offer quite a bit different tones. In the end though it really comes to what you like, over the years I've grown to hate high output pickups for example and greatly prefer low to medium output.
what do i need in order to be able to record both DI and the real amp?? the famous DI box?
if by pro market you mean dads that buy brand names
I try to talk about this shit but Yea Forums's white inferiority complex makes it impossible. We might be good at certain things or best on average at most but musically if you can't see blacks are 10 times naturally better I don't know what to say. I've only met two somewhat talented white drummers in my life. Out of all the amateur rappers I know, around 7 of them are white and 4 black. The 4 black ones are consistently on beat and the white ones all except one get off beat a lot. One has seemingly no semblance of rhythm. One took years to get better about staying on beat. One freestyles good but records with awkward and sometimes off beat flows. One is offbeat regularly. And the last one is on beat consistently, being the exception. These are all people who've been rapping for years. I knew a black dude who recorded and released one song and it was better and more on beat than any of those previous guys, in one fucking try. White producers it's the same shit. For some reason white people don't understand the backbeat. snares on twos and fours. Dead simple and it makes your head bob, and is the foundation of most modern music since the advent of the drumset. Fuckers still can't figure it out.
Fuck niggers

i'm back awake ni/gg/ers
So uhh newbie here, how do you get better? Studying musi theory and learning songs? I know the first like 10 basic chords and I can swap between them but I hadn't learnt any songs yet. After like the whole weekend of practicing I learnt my first song which was Layla and I dont know where to go from here. All the songs I like are extremely difficult, is there like a spreadsheet of songs I should learn to progress steadily?
who makes pickups do matter
names usually have consistent quality,
you also have pickup types where it costs money to make them, but you don't make them in enough volume to drive costs way down.
honestly, can not wait till fishman fluence gets a chinese knockoff that's good, just got a single dual rail humbucker and shits perfect, with pcbs, china would likely be able to perfectly match fishmans shit for under 100$
really, these are the only pickups that I think deserve how much they cost due to what they can do and how good they are.
as for getting into making pickups, you are going to be a niche, there are a few people who do this that are large enough names to be known, but off the top of my head, I just cant remember, but they are more 'artizian' boutique. If you do this, you will be looking at selling a single pickup in the 50-150$ range, and so long as you have consistent quality and customer support, you can make it a side business. sell anything not up to snuff as b stock and make damn sure its labeled b stock everywhere
does the beta58 not make as agressive a guitar sound as a sm57, or it's just me?
a lot of them are made in great numbers but only sold to manufacturers in bulk to offset the risk of making a bunch of one off shit that doesn't have a huge amount of people looking for one or two. see: artec. how hard is it to sell a pickup? everyone with an electric guitar already has a fucking pickup. figure it out.
artec actually makes some solid shit and their soloist distortion pedal is probably the best distortion pedal ever made for metal.
whites are not worse musically if you stop trying to step outside your culture and play to jungle beats. look at orchestras and solo musicians. they sound good no drum beat required because they feel the music how they want to feel it. they don't play to a heartbeat, they play to the ebb and flow of the feeling. tempo is just a suggestion and the instruments aren't even in sync all the time.
if you try and be a rock star you're going to sound like shit. rock sounds like shit live. they have to crank the tempo and coarseness up until it hides how off kilter they are or slow everything down until they can keep up.
like 5 dudes i know
I'm a huge Mars Volta fan and my old band used to cover ADTI and TMV tunes. One thing I learned from playing Omar's riffs is that the dude knows his way around the blues scale. So many Volta songs are based around some minor pentatonic or blues riff (Cotopaxi, Cygnus, Cicatriz ESP, Goliath). Another thing you hear a lot is how Omar moves between minor and half-diminished chords: he usually plays some sort of minor or minor 7 chord, followed by a half-diminished chord that then resolves back to the minor.
Also, he almost never uses power chords. Usually he'll play four-note 7th chords or simple root-third chords.
Other than the theory stuff, use a wah pedal, analog delay, and maybe a ring modulator to get some of the weirder sounds he's known for.

What's the cheapest, non-octolegged solution to switching between two pedals with one click? I reckon this could be a DIY job but what stuff is available? How do you do it?
Are you too retarded to know how to use google?
Should I try to get involved with music societies at uni?
I'm 21 and I've been learning guitar for about a year, I'm also in my first year of university. I'd like to make friends that are into rock music and get the opportunity to play with other people. But I'm worried it's just going to be like Yea Forums in real life and people are going to be dickheads and judge my poor guitar skills, because my philosophy course is exactly like that.

I'd go for the HT Studio 20. The on-board overdrive is pretty good, and it takes pedals well. If you want a 6L6 amp, get a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, I wouldn't waste my time with the Blackstar.
IDK. Never been there.

sweet buy, Chase Bliss Audio makes some great pedals. i tend to stick to easier to use pedals with less knobs but still a sweet buy, user. how are you enjoy it.
Fuck dude i just might but i know i shouldn't but i want to.
UPDATE I CAN GET A 7.5 WHEEL.OF MORBIER FOR 94 BUCKS. PLEASE GOD OH PLEASE TALK ME OUT OF IT.
Do it and eat it all in one setting
The 6L6 was built to sound like a Fender amp in the first place, and the Hot Rod Deluxe's drive channels offer more variation.
I still like the HT Studio 20, though. It's great for club gigs; one place I used to play at had one in the backline and I was always happy with the sound.

Thanks, that was helpful. I've noticed when he plays riffs and fills it's usually a blues scale over a minor chord , like that Gm in L'Via. But then on many songs he's like playing crazy chromatic lines on the background during the verses rather than strumming chords, like Day of Baphomets. I'm mostly struggling to figure out his chord progessions, I just don't understand them nor how do those chromatic licks work over them.

Do you assign a finger when to each column when playing at the top of the neck? like index for all the first frets middle for all the second frets ring finger for third fret etc
In general for melodies, but it's only a rough guide. Also it doesn't apply at all when it comes to chords.
Thanks, I was asking because i'm terrible at keeping one finger for each column i always mix them up.
Big fat bass tone!
I just love how united gg has become under the mantle of kaka
Carrying my word, Here is an instructional document that teaches you how to play guitar based on theory.
>filehosting.org
I know right?? It's such a guitar cause
Looks like a new kaka
You realise you don't need to memorise that? The guitar is tuned in fourths with a major third between the G and B strings. Just shift anything played on the E and B strings up a fret.
fucking hell my man just use pastebin
No. Eat kaka and die
Nobody's going to give out their email address for that shit.
I'm going to fix all the line breaks in your document -- as well as correct your inexplicable inability to understand apostrophes -- and then spam the corrected version on pastebin.

So I bought a scuffed ass S101 Strat knockoff off a friend for 10$ this morning. It sounds and feels fine to play apart from the sharp frets but my main issue is the damn thing doesn't stay in tune. Even though I bought it for so cheap, would it be worth it to replace the shitty tuners and the saddles?
File down the sharp frets and lube up the nut with some graphite. Changing the saddles won't do much.
Changing the tuners might help, but only if they're terrible, and the guitar probably isn't worth the price of a new set.
Hello sir, I heard you might be interested in some kaka for lunch, followed by a nap that never ends.
May I serve you some kaka?
If I wanted the experience of eating kaka, I'd read more of your writing.
Just restrung my guitar for the first time but it looks kinda fucked up
Can I just unwind it and try again or are they fucked cos the strings are bent
You can treat yourself to a nice hot bowl of kaka
not the first guy you were talking to but another fan of Omar's here. Omar is self taught/doesn't know/care much for theory, so he wasn't approaching writing from an intellectual perspective at all. Same as Hendrix I guess, strong intuition means you can learn things without knowing their proper names and so on. You might want to look into some strange modes ie locrian, phrygian and some more exotic stuff. Even if you don't study it intensely, listening to more music that uses those chromatic sounding runs will help get the sound naturally in your ear so you can write that style more easily. Again, you don't have to think "right, for this solo I'm going to play Lydian b6" - lord knows Omar and most other players like him aren't thinking that way, but looking into it first will help. A lot of Ethnic folk stuff is played in scales like that.
Who the fuck keeps telling zoomers that hendrix didnt know music theory?
not a zoomer lmao. I mean he had no formal training and wasn't intellectualising his playing. He obviously knew theory and as I said, it was picked up intuitively. You know damn well what I mean, that he wouldn't be able to tell you what Lydian b6 or double harmonic major are. I know the "don't learn theory" thing is stupid, and players who are great without extensive knowledge are the exception, rather than the rule.
when first learning guitar, is it better to learn songs and later apply theory or just hop straight in to scales and all that shit
Why the fuck did you even take the time to write something im not gonna read?
Are you a virgin or chad?
more cyborg than anything
wow you owned me
kick them out
The only art form that hasn't been ruined by academia is pre-modernist period classical music.
Parker for Poorfags?
Try building up some basic skills first by doing drills and exercises before jumping into theory. Better to have a solid grasp of the instrument first. Learning and playing some songs along the way wouldn't hurt, though.

cheapest switch pedal on amazon that doesn't have reviews calling it noisy
cheap pedals are good. my rowin noise gate is something hipsters could be fooled into paying $80+ for. and they're also good for the market. old circuit types end up in mass production, so all the small batch guys can't get away with selling a high school student's first circuit for the price of a practice amp. so they're forced to innovate and make new effects that are uncommon and therefore actually worth the money.
and then you have JHS which makes time honored circuits and charges you like they hand-soldered a quirky all-analog sound processor that makes your music sound like it came from a recording of one of hitler's speeches, complete with german yelling.

Back in your cage.
Why did you just out yourself as having no discipline to learn a simple technique?
Being a disabled freak isnt retiring trachefag
the whole Ibanez Mini line is amazing
Guess again, wagie.
I have a Squier Precision Bass, a Fender Rumble 25 combo amp and enough money to replace one of them (~750 US dollars), what do I buy first fellow bass friends?
>has a job
>during a terrible economic crisis and general unemployment
Explain yourself capitalist pawn
jazz bass
Bass.
A shitty instrument holds you back, a shitty amp does not hamper your technique.
i have a job but i will never buy a $300 distortion pedal
however i would happily buy a $3000 japanese guitar and do so long before i even thought about buying a gibson
A shitty instrument can be polished up until it plays well, and then the only thing setting it apart from a more expensive solid-body electric is the quality of the finish and how exotic the tonewood is.
A shitty amp needs a complete redesign and will make even the most brilliant playing sound like norwegian garage metal.
it's not a technique, its an affront to all guitar technique.
you can play the same note patterns with a different technique that's solid and proper, ask Gilbert.
Tonewood is a fucking meme
You can only polish a turd so much.
t. someone who polished his first plywood guitar made in the early 80s in Korea, long before Korea was capable of building anything worth note.
I got to the point where I can sort of play Johnny B Goode
where do i go from here lads
Being a NEET isnt being retired you dummy
some famous guy said the best sounding guitar he ever played was made of plywood and theorized about "tone glue"
i forget who. wood is so inconsistent even within the same tree that how you saw the wood probably matters more than the species.
if you completely refinish the neck, install new tuners and a new bridge, all new electronics, and redo the frets, you end up with a very expensive guitar made of plywood and any remaining problems can be excused by saying "it's not an older, cheaper design, it's vintage and it gives you a vintage tone"
Get a better bass with the money
Then sell your Squire and your Rumble and just get a better combo amp.

Macmull. The Best Part of Waking Up is Macmull in Your Cup.
Nah
Refinished neck
Put in new gotoh tuners
New nut
New bridge
The natural oil finish I put on the neck was really fucking comfy to play, but it couldn't keep tune due to being 80s Korea shit. There's only so much you can do with a turd like I said.
Eruption
Macmull: there's a bit of Macmull in all of us.
a non meme answer please :(
Macmull, how did you live without it?
>couldn't keep tune
did you re-fit the neck and make sure it had a functioning truss rod?
did you make sure it was stored well? i had a $1000 american strat that would constantly go sharp and then back in tune depending on household humidity. i bought it in the fall and didn't have any idea it would be like that until spring and summer humidity fluctuations set in. the neck did look good, but it was just a retarded plank of maple. for that price guitars should be kept sitting out in the open in an average uncontrolled environment and played for a bit for about three days before being put out for sale as a final QC step.
Smoke on Water (the)
>went into guitar at age 16 wanting to play death metal and shit
>as my musical tastes evolved I slowly stop playing super technical wankery and transition into psych and garage shit
Can anyone else relate? I still listen to metal a ton now but I don't feel like playing the same edgy shit again and again
Have you ever played a cheap guitar made in the 80s? Kids today have no fucking idea how good the cheapest of the cheap epiphone or squier or GIO Ibanez is in comparison.
It was a dark time to be poor and into music.
Yeah, my first guitar. Half the frets had popped out and the nut was not only garbage,but new nuts had to be shaved because the little slot they went in wasn't cut level with the fretboard.
I only did the nut and the frets though, shitty tuners and a shitty bridge work ok.
Macmull when 2nd best isn't good enough.
buy me one
macmull: when you're going for 3rd best behind ESP and Suhr, and want to look good doing it
its basically the same for me
ESP snapper
i wanted to play classical but got into metal instead
I still have mine buried somewhere with case underneath 30 years of shit I've stored up.
It was the cheapest model Westone Spectrum-II made in Korea. Triple single coil strat knockoff.
Knobs that fell off, bridge that eventually had to the screwed down to the body to keep in tune longer than 10 minutes. Single coils that sounded like ass, electronics that would pick up the neighbors radio, grounding that did nothing.
But the neck turned really nice like I said after spending god knows how many hours removing the plastic coat and repeatedly sanding and oiling it.
MacMull: Come on stupid goy, buy this $8,000 shit plank from Israel!
Macmull - One name. One legend.
Anyone got any experience with Sterling by Music Man?
So youre saying chet atkins is an affront to guitar players and is neither solid nor proper? Stop being contrarian just to be a hipster. Its about application regarding the technique gilbert is talking about. For example he woukdnt be able to play "the ultimatum" by loomis using the deconstructed chord technique gilbert uses in the end of the song "superheroes" by racer x. Also stop being a lazy undisciplined fuckhead.
>Literally made in Holy Land
God made Macmull.
Looking to add some pedals to emulate my favorite tones without using a true tube amp. I got a Boss Katana for my home board and I'm thinking of adding an Ampeg in a box pedal which one is the best one to get?
>Ampeg Classic Analog Bass Preamp
>Catalinbread SFT
>Tech 21 SansAmp VT Character Series
I'm planning to stack it into a Fender style pedal since I love Fender. I have a Wampler Black '65 Overdrive but looking for something like a Tweed style overdrive would be sweet.
>Tech 21 SansAmp Character Series Blonde
>Joyo American Sound JF-14
>Boss FMB-1
>Wampler Tweed '57
>Catalinbread Formula 5F6
>Catalinbread Formula No. 55
>J Rockett Audio Designs Monkeyman
>Way Huge Red Llama
My signal chain was my delay, which I got a bunch of into my Wampler Black but I'm going to use that as my clean tone and using that Boss Line Selector to blend in my "natural" amp overdrive pedal in. Think Ronnie Wood tone.
Get different bandmates. Goofing us fun once in a while, but should always be done after practicing your actual songs. And I hate when someone is trying to talk and someone else starts playing without turning their volume all the way down first
>"the ultimatum" by loomis
who even wants to play this, lol
You mean you realized you werent skilled enough or creative enough to make the music you wanted? And then settled for meme genres?
>technical wankery
>edgy shit
You could have played better metal too
Nice cope.
>who can even play this.
Not you thats for sure.
I like warm sounding classical guitar. Do I need to use my nails? I'd rather not base my entire life around my nail upkeep.
Macmull: sell your kidney, to buy Macmull.
Nails are just a meme that modern players propagate,
No, I can play them well to some extent, it just got boring. I still think it'd be cool to start a band playing that kind of stuff but the more I listen to this older music I get urges to see how well I can play them and the more I try to experiment with my sound
I'm having a lot more fun playing now
lol, loomis can fuck off
more like boomis
t. hipster
t. Yngwie
I know, he's a fag.
I actually quite like the Squier products it depends which one you have. The vintage and classic modified are the ones worth owning. The pick ups are decent but you can always replace that and if it's a matter of comfort, you can always replace the neck with a higher grade material. My favorite thing is a P bass body with a Jazz neck. I would go for the amp. You can hide the amp's natural tone with preamps and pedals. see I would much rather go for the Scrambler pedal. The problem is Ampeg's preamp pedal is the lack of tube drive. That circuit came from their DI pedal which had both the preamp pedal and the scrambler in one box. It's pricier but worth the extra dough. It also comes with an fx loop for you to add more pedals through if needed.
The Catalinbread foundations pedal are useful and you could probably stack the SFT into the Formula 5F6 but I would much rather go for the Ampeg SCR-DI with the Joyo American Sound.
>Try the intro riff to whole lotta love
>Can't get it sounding even remotely close
>Contemplate throwing the guitar out the window
How do you gays deal with being trash
by not sweating it and just keep practicing
sometimes just sleeping works when you're struggling with something, say a chord progression or game boss or a technique for shooting a hockey puck. it's what practice is for, you know you suck so you practice to git gud, same goes for anything like the examples above
>"I actually quite like the Squier products"
>Wanks on about boutique pedals
Could you be more of a stereotype? Do you have a jazzmaster or mustang as your main guitar?
Why not a jaguar?
I was assuming you weren't a complete homosexual.
My mistake.
real talk lads, we are truly blessed that our instruments are so fucking cheap
You're mistaken, Telecasters are for homosexuals, not Jaguars
Telecasters are for horse molesters with stetsons.
Well, I guess thats it. When I woke up a little over a month ago my left index finger was completely numb, and it still is. Any pressure at all and it feels like its going to explode, and I get no useful tactile feedback from touch. Its literally impossible to play guitar.
Get the nerves in your neck checked. I have nerve compression there leading to longer bouts of numb fingers that won't do as they're told.
And traches and juggalos
Hey, thanks for telling me this. My neck was actually really painful in the days leading up to it
Might just be a pinched nerve from holding your neck the wrong way or having a guitar strap on the wrong way for too long or it could be stenosis, which I have, which is gradually tighter nerve canals. I'll eventually have to have surgery for it, but right now they can't guarantee I'll get better from it.
Either way, numb fingers = go see the fucking doctor.
