Anybody have any advice for when you feel "burnt out" or uninspired?
Been playing for years and never had this issue.
Lately I'll pick up my guitar and it just feels weird.
I quit weed recently and I don't drink alcohol anymore either, so my inhibitions are kind of raised.
My friend told me I just need to get back in the zone, find my lane and stick with it.
Should I take a few days off from practicing just to reset? or do you guys know of something that works to reset this cycle?
I mostly play the blues.

You probably just suck bro

Buy another guitar or amp and you will feel obligated to play or else you bought it for nothing

This is why all those youtube fags have so much gear laying around they could probably start a guitars for poor children who cant shred good charity

upload a vocaroo and say the date before beginning to play right now or your mother will die in her sleep

which first then?

It's hard to say what will work for you, but here are a few things you can try:

Take a break for a week or two.
Listen to new music: preferably new genres, but consider imitating non-guitar instruments within blues.
Learn new things about music in general, like new scales, chords, or theory.
Learn some new techniques on the guitar, even if they aren't genre-appropriate.
Find new people to make music with; consider new genres.
Start smoking weed and drinking again.
Get a new guitar (an expensive option; consider it last and go second-hand so you can get your money back if needed).

Godspeed, user.

How long does it take to re-humidify a guitar?

Attached: 1543696423770.jpg (1508x1000, 156K)

thanks but I figured out what the problem was.
I was playing guitar while I was hungry.
I fast usually by not eating till around 5-7pm.
I just had an early meal today and realized I can play again.
So if you ever have to play a gig, make sure you eat first. Never play hungry.

Three days is usually good

Well then youre probably poor.

If you don't know all the diatonic modes and all of the modes of the pentatonic minor, get on it. After that are the modes of the harmonic minor.

Nice try

Haven't played in years, pulled an old cheap fender acoustic out of storage but it's kinda damaged. Bridge is a little damaged, E string pops out sometimes. Thinking about buying a yamaha fg830 on amazon. Any other suggestions? There's a guitar center about an hour away. Is it really important I feel it in my hands first?

Attached: hr_hellcat_vi_blk.jpg (1618x500, 102K)

Just tell yourself that you're playing in a key that is a perfect forth higher than the actual key.
For example if the song is in E major, tell yourself that you're in A major and then you'll fuck up and play in A lydian which uses the same notes as E major. Problem solved.
p.s. fuck modes.

I actually got a new tube amp a couple months ago and haven't even plugged the thing in. Most shit I order just ends up sitting in the box unopened, actually.

if you can't tell he made it that way as a joke.

Strats feel the most comfortable and natural to me, but I love humbuckers, what do? I know HH Strats exist but they feel like they don't belong to this world.

>>hey guise you should use modes
Did you read the post I was replying to? The dude already has the lydian pattern so deeply ingrained that he can't play a standard major scale apparently. It should have never come to that, but that would be the easiest solution for him.

I did, but you're teaching him modal knowledge to escape modes. It's ironic.

Just got into an argument.
Is there any legitamate use for these other than for fingerpicking? Quote, some fag:

Highjacking this post to say:
My starting guitar was a HSS strat, really cheap friend got it for like 110 and I bought it from him for 80, and it plays really good for a chinkshitplank. I dont use the middle pickup tho, except for the middle+buck position when I want to play lead stuff but warmer. Should I cop a Dimarzio single-coil sized humbucker and use that for the middle ? How does that idea seem ?I dont know what that will do to the sound. Also I want to upgrade the humbucker to get it to a more real superstrat mode, is the EMG H4 a good humbucker ? I hear EMGs dont do cleans well but I have the neck for that.

You need one finger to play barre chords, leaving only three for articulations. Some things necessitate a capo.

However, I personally think they're a crutch for the incompetent. Most musicians can transpose without said crutches, I don't know why it's such a problem for guitarists.

It's usually used for tuning up to a singers range

idk man, what sound are you going for? the selling point of Dimarzios is the hum/noise cancelling element of it, as well as the warmness that comes from a humbucker pickup. I use a neck Dimarzio cruiser and play exclusively in the neck position. It's perfect for me because I play fingerstyle music. I have the stock middle pickup, and playing mid neck/bridge cancels some of the noise but not all

>not using the middle pickup
I feel you. I ended up trading for a G&L Tele and adjusted the pole pieces until I could use the tones to get the sound I wanted.

Why not just learn barre chords then?

>problem for guitarists
It's already hard enough getting respect as a guitarist without these knobgobblers making us look incompetent. I keep having to explain to explain to directors that I prefer sheet music to lead sheets (I'm mostly hired by churches and theaters).

Man, switching the all fourths tuning was such a great idea. It works so well for jazz.
Having been a bassist before I ever picked up a guitar I just could never get my head around that stupid B string. And since I never use any of the typical rock/blues guitar chords (barre chords and the like) in jazz, I found I really didn't need that stupid major third.

Are you the guy I told about how appropriate fourths was for various genres? It really is win-win for jazz, particularly considering how many different voicings you need to learn.

Maybe. Was it like a couple weeks or a month ago?

Mate, I'm off my face whenever I'm not at work. Probably like a month ago?

Was probably me. I remember asking about in on here around a month ago. Made the switch and I'm not having that hard of a time adjusting to it, even though I've been playing guitar for several years now.
Also, a nice side effect of it is that the increased tension makes my two highest strings a lot nicer to play. I use a standard size of 12s (roundwound) but I always found the B and E string to be too thin and weak, so I've experimented around with upping the gauge of the E to 13 and 14. But just that half step up makes a standard 12 guage E string feel a lot tighter.

It's pretty straightforward. All the chords you already know can be used anywhere (as a four-string variant). Plus you can play barre chords, though everyone seems to think they're impossible.

k

Quartal barre chords are great with this tuning

>But just that half step up makes
>F Bb Db Gb Cb(B) Fb(E)
Is that your standard tuning? Instead of
>E A D G C F

No. I mean just for the highest two strings (half step up compared to standard).
So E A D G C F

Thank you. I went full retard and even fucked up the standard alternate tuning.
I understand that it should have been F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb.

Most people who tune in fourths use EADGCF. A few use EbAbDbGbBE.

>EbAbDbGbBE
I think I might give this one a shot and then tune my baritone to C F Bb Eb Ab Db
Maybe.
Thanks again.

It's a legitimate use case for a capo. Samoan hippy music notwithstanding.

Yeah, they seem to be elusive. There's one on Reverb, but they want a lot for it.

It's fucking dirt cheap, mainly because nobody can play well.

Where is a good place to learn different strumming techniques? I mean actual different techniques like muting and dampening not just different patterns which is all I'm getting when I Google them.

Check out the books in the MEGA link in the OP. There's one specifically for rhythm guitar.

There was an article I am specifically looking for that I had up on phone and lost and isn't in my history for some reason. It talked using palm muting to create a blooper sound when chording and kind of slapping a chord to get a percussive sound but not with your palm but with the fingers kind of curled in so the top of your nails hit the string along with the pick. You kind of bring you hand down like you are trying to mute the guitar when you do it.

Barre chords can only really be played in a couple shapes. Try doing it in the D shape. Yet sometimes that shape sounds best. Also jamming. If you learn a song in one key and somebody else knows it in another key or if you want to play with a violin or banjo which commonly play in certain keys. Why make things more difficult for yourself? All kinds of master guitarists use them. If you're playing metal or something then you probably won't see these situations but if you play general acoustic music country folk blues whatever, you'll use it.

It looks exactly how it sounds.

I don't follow, are you saying that you can or can't play a D shape barre?

I mean this is hard to play. But what if you want this shape somewhere up the fretboard because the chord voicing sounds better than others? You should learn the E and A Barre chord shapes (and their minor and 7th versions) but you'll still have reason to use a capo sometimes.

Attached: effdffba-c296-4393-a251-9c9015126a4c.png (362x454, 32K)

That's interesting; I would describe that as a D/A-shape barre. But the actual D-shape barre isn't a barre, it's just movable, and pretty straightforward.

>violin
>play in certain keys
Musiclet detected. I play in more keys in violin than guitar, usually. Guitarists want to play in G, C, E, A and their relative minors.

The Gretsch?

Early 60s Teisco bass. Sounds pretty great, super short scale, lightweight, gold foil goodness.

Very plucky and warm, yet very defined. One of the most off the wall sounding basses I've ever played. Just grabbed it today along with the Yamaha SHB-400.

The Yamaha is making me want to sell everything else I have. It's so ridiculously good, the only thing I've ever owned that was ahead of it is a 1979 Guild S-70, and that's a guitar from another universe.

you know nothing lol

Woops I got left and right mixed up. It's a 1980ish Gretsch BST-1500. It's fantastic for the price. Dimarzio from the factory. Ibanez Wizard type neck. Very nice sustain too.

lol we used three mics but into a mixer into one channel of an interface. i think we will rerecord it and try to put the vocals into a separate channel on the interface so my guitar mic gets a preamp

turn down the lows on the mixer for the channel with the guitar.
it will fix a lot of your issue.
and yes, always separate channels if possible.

Newb here.

How much practice is too much physically? I ask because the past 3 or 4 days I've been practicing like 5 or 6 hours a day and so far I don't really have any pains or weird feelings except for the tip of my index finger on my fretting hand which is kind of numb but weirdly raw and pretty red.

Should I just take it easy for a bit? Or this just my finger getting used to fretting.

i probably have work.

you should only practice physically 2 days in a row and then mental practice 1 day.

That's easy with practice.
