First for badly drawn Mustangs
What is everyone learning to play at the moment?
Ea Lord of the Depths.
I've recently mastered Misirlou and now I want to learn a song that involves tremolo picking across different strings.
>Kurt Cobain designed this
It looks almost as if it were designed by someone on huge amounts of drugs.
rocksmith is a good tool to start playing. just look up some easy songs on youtube and get started
and thank god for that
the guitar since i'm still a beginner
What genre of music would you say these were?

Also semi-related but I'm fairly certain I want to learn to play as a bedroom player but I'm not sure if I'd lean towards guitar or bass more since bass seems to have a pretty heavy influence in everything I like but idk if it's shit when it's alone.
Play both and start going full autist on music production as well.
Buncha dumbfucks.
why both
Anyone have any experience with a Mayones Regius 6?

i have a full retard telecaster HH
should i buy a schecter C-1 or a normal telecaster
i exclusively listen to death metal btw
victim of changes by judas priest, mostly to git gud at solos
Buy another HH Tele
Did he get banned again?
so everytime i play guitar i always hit lydian notes i don't know why but my finger always want to hit that lydian notes
what is happening with my brain and fingers
i tried other scales but it always back to lydian
Thinking of buying a use SG400 from my guitar center, seems to be in good condition and only for 250$. Are the epi SGs decent?
Buy an ATX C-7
But it just feels wrong.
It looks like a telecaster but sounds like a generic superstrat.
I said buy another HH Tele

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?
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
Jesus fucking Christ.
A charity for ants?
What areother scales i can. Practice
What scales do you know?
Learn these ones.
They sound great.

you need a file, a light touch and good hand control not humidity if that pic cousin is yours
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?
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
>p.s. fuck modes
dimarzios look like single coils but are actually humbuckers I think. Put some strat ones in there
why does it look like a baboon's ass?
Hot
>>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:
>if it lets people play the songs and bring joy to people, then it's good
Personally, I feel it's an excuse to never learn barre chords
>buy a new guitar
>immediately prefer the other colorway
kuso
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
Unironically more ugly than a PRS.
It's beautiful
>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.
You can use them to play ukelele parts (5th fret capo).
who the fuck wants to play uke shite
i saw this and went looking for their memoryman clone but couldnt find one
It's a legitimate use case for a capo. Samoan hippy music notwithstanding.
gross
Yeah, they seem to be elusive. There's one on Reverb, but they want a lot for it.
Guitar sommeliers universally agree that only a retard would buy an electric guitar without six individual, adjustable saddles.
Who is your favorite guitarist who is most famous for playing something other than a Gibson or a Fender?
Watched dozens of YouTube videos on pinch harmonics, still can’t do them. I think I’m actually retarded.
$20 for an hour with a teacher.
Is that all it costs there days?
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.
Mateus Asato
Blue
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.
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.
anyone has the Xvive V5 delay mini pedal?
should i buy a cream colored mexi strat for like 350 with a case? I like black metal and metalcore and thats what i want to play
are behringer pedals a good value or are they just low quality? i want to start with a few pedals (maybe od, chorus, reverb?)to experiment and i can get a bunch of behringer pedals for the price of like a single boss
...
Get a dirt cheap multi-fx then sell it when you're done.
Junk. The chinese knockoff pedals on amazon are as good for less money.
Your precious boutique pedals buy their components from Behringer.
t. Boomer pedal collector.
Digital is the way, but if you absolutely *must* have individual pedals, Behringer has proven to make more than enough as stated in
as stated in the posted video, their analog circuits are pretty dead-on. their digital circuits leave a little to be desired though.
Yes
That is one depressing photo, Jesus
That's a cool bobcat user how do you like it?
The guitar on the right looks so cheap
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.
>D/A-shape barre
that is clearly an e.
>he thinks cobain was ever ironic
nope.
he was just pretending to be retarded.
>Is there any legitamate use for these other than for fingerpicking?
yes!
it's for cheating.
>pinch harmonics
just pick the note and brush the string with your thumb at the same time.
pick in different spots.
can somebody who understands recording help me? my guitar sounds like Shit in this demo we did and i’m not sure how i can adjust the mic/eq to make it better.
keep in mind this is supposed to be like lofi punk demo quality
vocaroo.com/i/s0rxVCwV9Q8J
>cant even properly post a link
Just fucking give up now m8
sounds like it was done with one microphone in a room.
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.
Everyone must have school in the morning
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.
depends on if the boss has a job lined up.
one more day of sunburn.
>numb but weirdly raw and pretty red
you should only practice physically 2 days in a row and then mental practice 1 day.
That's easy with practice.
>D/A
It would be E/B, but that's not exactly proper. It's just a 2nd inversion E major.
It's nice to see the spirit of Roman is still here. Well, hopefully you're trolling.
This. I stopped teaching as a side gig because it's not even worth it. I can make $50 welding a new stand onto a trailer in much less time than it takes me to realize I'm talking to a brick wall that won't even practice what I taught them.
Someone want to tab this out for me?
This is the worst
So uh.. as someone who fucks around and "plays" bluesy/droney desert rock without actually listening to the genre, what kind of guitar suits the genre? Like, what do those guys actually play?
telecasters.
Yeah? Makes sense in a way. But I'm assuming they throw humbuggies or P90s in the, no?
the humbuckers go in the hollow body that plays the rhythm.
I know you're about 75% memeing right now, but fair enough
being serious, user.
they use gretsch hollow bodies for rhythm tracks.
You can play anything on anything.
>Gretsch
OH, see, now it makes more sense
>he's too poor and/or stupid to own a Gibson
Now I wanna see a 50's rockabilly band that uses BC Rich guitars just for the meme
I'm still pissed I didn't get the 2013 339 studio when it was new. Those fuckers are $300 more now
>You can play anything on anything
correct!
but a solid body will never sound like a hollow body
You didn't watch the video
stratos are good too, it's what Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton use.
they never played desert rock.
srv was texas blues and clapton was british bullshit blues.
not to mention Iron Maiden.
Just get a Fender Cyclone
>desert rock
Is this the guitar meta right now? I keep seeing it crop up
nope.
it's just the natural evolution from indie bullshit.
eventually they will realize it's all about actual metal.
>desert rock
Sure, I read "blues/doney desert rock", thought he was asking for a guitar to play either blues or desert rock.
>actual metal
what even is that these days?
no, a combo of the two. Droney desert rock, but with a bluesy twist
like early 90s metal but without the reeboks and jordache jeans.
so grunge then?
somehow it doesn't look that bad when actually being played by him
because it's just as fucked up as he was. They both should've been aborted
And no one even thinks about you. So theres that
PRS SE or schecter?
Schecter has 3 piece necks that should be more stable but I can't buy one locally and make sure it's light (properly aged wood)
I know longer think my dean has a rosewood fretboard. Im pretty sure its macassar ebony
From same factory so its gonna come down to feel
>he actually defends Kurt Cocaine
Eh guitars are made of wood and wood varies a lot within the same tree and then you add aging to the hat of variables. With one piece necks the wood matters more and at $350-500 that starts making me nervous.
>It's designed by a fuckin' real ass Fender exec as a gift to Kurt turned into a money churner from kids who loved the suicide 'surviver' of sorts, in that this guit lives on in our hearts, despite the fact that Kurt was using an HH tele with Gibson neck & I believe JB Seymour Bridge when he passed.
Not to mention, if all is saidd & ddone, Kurt was a Jag' guy. 'Stang is so & also too niche. I can't imagine him not falling back to the feel of the Jazz vibrato at some point, if vibrato is used, & his wiring scheme on the Hot-Rod HH Jag he pawn-stop & swapped for is just-- welll, Fender fucked the bedspring on this one.
