What band is that in the pic?

No clue

Christ, why are boomers so bad at music? Every zoomer hardcore band BTFOs them easily.
Anti Flag

Fucking plebs
Insane clown posse
set necks and neck throughs are for tone and playability
bolt on necks are so you can turn baseball bats and coffee tables into guitars faster
According to Neal Moser, bolt-ons sustain the best.
No Boomers in that band
Yo, I'm a production nerd that's trying to pick up bass. I get a lot of people who play coming over to my place, so I'm looking for an amp with good tones for recording.
How's the Fender Champion 20? I just found one listed for $25.
Im getting this guitar tomorrow. Currently learning Iron Maiden and Metallica songs.
What's a good song to play people when they find out you play guitar?
burzum - ea, lord of the depths
learn to do the choo choo feedback
It's backwards
it's for playing evil music that sounds evil prophecies when played backwards
>do pull off from g to g flat (B string)
>weird warble
>mute G string
>no warble
Okay what the fuck is this resonance bullshit
Do I just have to buy guitars until I find one without magical resonant properties or what? It does it with any pull off where the first note matches an open string or other fretted note
I’ve just been playing e5 and f5 chugs since I learned how to palm mute. These chugs are insane can anyone help me improve?
I could have bought the gold trim model last week, but a bit too much bling for me.
so it's a popular style guitar then. I was going to buy pic related instead but it was an extra $150 Dollaridoos
try Gb5 next, it'll knock your socks off
Standard G string problem. I switched to a wound G and it doesn't happen anymore.
I tried doing it on the E and the problem resonance moves to the B string.
I can also get the low A to do the same.
Well, you can make any string do it. G string, for some reason, is really hard to get to NOT do it.
This. Should have gotten 4 knobs
there was a guy in the last thread who wanted to get 2 concentric knobs to have 4 in a 2 knob body
if you do that you could have as many as 6 knobs
Plucking strings is absurd, guitar playing is mental illness.
I don't really like the sound of schecter brand active pickups. Their passives sound pretty good for high gain distorted stuff but if you can get one with an EMG 81/85 or 57/66 set it's a lot better.
This is probably the best guitar they make in that price range and genre

Matte superstrats look gay as fuck though
Why? it makes nice sounds
and what do you do, just hit the strings really hard?

%97 of guitautists are content with they're shitplank cause they never played a good guitar. if your %3 that are'nt dumb reply with "only gibson is good enough"
What’s the best delay pedal and why is it pic related?
Anybody else just not like playing acoustic guitar?
Yeah they don't even chug and shredding is way harder on them, fuck that shit
you have to be either hispanic or redneck to like it
You just haven't played the right one
KIRA KIRA HIKARU
I slap the guitar's body while fretting notes, adds a nice percussive effect.
What a monstrosity.
As far as "proper" vintage guitars go, gibsons ARE the best, and if I were teleported back to the 60s I wouldn't want to play anything else other than maybe an eko 700 or a very, very custom strat (and i would probably kick off the superstrat industry a few decades early by talking good musicians of the day into trying said custom strat)
But these days you can get better shit. Not just okay, similar shit and say "at least it's consistently average and doesn't break in its case", better shit, in the same price range.
Do you have a bass you can test it with?
Yammy was btfo nigson in the 70s and 80s
The fender champion 20 is a guitar amp
And not a really good one, it's kind of harsh on the ears. I can't describe it but you either have to crank it up, bathe it in reverb, or embrace it and play with distortion (but not any of the built in metal tones) to make it sound good.
I quite like the features on the Electroman II but I think a couple different algorithms would be cool
Hey wait a minute
I can't help but strum the same like two strumming patterns every time I'm trying to create music. How do I learn more patterns and how do I break out of this bad habit?
Yeah a fender strat, but its not mine. I'm borrowing it to learn.
Damn, I didn't even realize there was a difference between guitar/bass amps. I did a little reading and I saw some other people shitting on it too.
Is there a resource I can use to get up to speed on guitar gear? I wanna be able to make good buying decisions, especially when I get ready to buy my own bass.
I actually kinda like this one (besides the fact it has two necks). One of my main complaints about acoustic guitar is that it's too big and unwieldy but that one looks nice and thin.
Maybe stratacoustics aren't such a retarded idea.
Tubes are good. If something sounds better than tubes or like tubes it probably costs more than a lot of perfectly good tube amps. If you like natural distortion at hearing safe levels (and you do, because that's the thing that tubes sound good doing, and nobody likes burst eardrums) then buy a low wattage amp 15w or below. If the opposite, 50w minimum. Read up on clean headroom for why.
Analog pedals generally sound better at lower price points. Never pay more than $60 for an effects pedal unless you intend on reselling it for a profit.
That's all you need to know about gearfaggotry. Anything else pertains more to setting up an actual gigging rig and uncommon amplifier classes and preamp/effects rack/power amp setups.
work on your muting technique retard
Nice, I'm gonna save this post as a reference. Thanks user.
There is way too much info and opinions on guitar gear.
>be the thermionic valve
>sound so good in guitar amps that guitarists alone keep the industry producing you afloat into the 20th century such that most of the remaining manufactures only make tubes for audio purposes
>people focusing on clean amplification fall for the tube meme for some reason too, nobody knows what their deal is, a PA or headphone amp can get away with using transistors
Someone needs to make an amp that is a fuzz circuit feeding into a tube power amp.
Nice cope for being poor
>Analog pedals generally sound better at lower price points.
Don't listen to that. I'm not saying it's entirely wrong, there's some REALLY great cheap shit out there (most of my stuff is). But it's all up to what YOU'RE looking for. There are some spendier pedals that you just can't replicate the sound of with the cheap shit. A recommendation in that price range that I have however is Deadbeat Effects. They have a lot of great starter effects and they actually have a decent build quality. The problem with cheap shit is that it's usually only available online. Brands like Boss, TC Electronic, and Electro-Harmonix are a lot more wide spread. And frankly, with some of the TC and EHX stuff, you can get a lot of bang for your buck. TC's delays sound good and older flashbacks and hall of fames can be got for around $100. On top of all the on board stuff, there's their toneprint shit that lets you experiment with sort of designing your own delay and reverb sounds and you can even just add artist created sounds to them as well. The newer EHX Delay (Canyons) and Reverb (Oceans 11) pedals are running around that price point as well and have some great sounds on them. Scour your used market as well. Whether it be at local shops or on sites like Craigslist. You might find something that really works for you.
(I promise I'm not a shill guys, I just think that the idea that you should always stick to the cheap shit really limits what you can get out of your gear)

Is there really much of a difference between old and brand new Boss pedals?
why do volume attentuators have to be so expensive
i just want the cranked amp sound but i want to be able to hear it for more than a week before everything sounds like EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
That amp isn't that bad. I got one free from Fender. It's alright
Get a lower-wattage amp.
Quality earplugs is better than nothing
try this
fret a G on the low string and pick it and mute it after a quick sound
you'll find the G string ringing
the same thing happens with any note, open or fretted
the point of a PA and headphones is to sound crisp and hi fidelity, and guitar amps are the opposite
earplugs make it sound worse than a quiet amp
no, not that my amp sounds bad at bedroom volumes btw
Fuck off, Sammy.

I bought a big muff pedal at Musicman Stan's Music Shop and when I unscrewed the back to get a look at the circuits, there was a log of kaka inside.
It doesn't seem to be hurting the sound. Is there supposed to be a kakalog in there? I've heard of kaka on guitars, but never in pedals.

I've been considering buying a twelve string guitar, how big of a change would that be for someone who is mostly used to playing on classical guitars?
they had 8 strings, 9 strings, and now they have 12 strings. how are you gonna tune it, an octave lower than the low b of a 5 string bass? Wew, kids these days.
Fretting will be much more difficult, if you pluck with your fingers you have less space between strings.
Does anyone still have the mememachine saved? The 10 string rondo with anime stickers
You're having the wrong idea of a twelve string guitar I think
I see, thanks. How wide is the neck? More like a classical or like an electric guitar?
Fuck off, Sammy.
is this something that really fucking happens in the USA? that's disgusting.
redpill me on archtops
What the fuck is kaka?
Kaka is what happens when your shit comes out in a long log. Like when it's soft enough to be fashioned into a kaka snake, but hard enough to not break into little pieces. It's long and it's loggy and this guy is saying that he found a log of shit inside a guitar pedal and everybody's just acting like it's no big deal.
No, man. I wouldn't leave a log of literal shit inside your pedal.
I don't have any one to show my guitar playing, so I thought you lot might be interested. I'd appreciate it if you'd have a watch. It's only a little from the song and most of the solo. But please let me know what you think. I've been playing for 9 months and use a squier affinity.
youtu.be
I recall some guy on this board saying he worked in some kind of assembly for trumpet mouthpieces, he said he sometimes shat into one of them and then put them back. Maybe the guy who assembled your pedal was a cousin of his.
Why is playing Steely Dan songs so fucking comfy
Because Larry Carlton
tfw you will never own a HM Strat
Had one in pink, modded the pickups to shit and back, even tried H-H-H with independent splits with single sized hums.
I regret letting it go sometimes, but it found a loving home.
Damn. I'd kill to get one. I live in Norway, so they're quite rare here. If I had one, I'd probably put a Seymour Duncan Full Shred in the bridge and some real vintage sounding single coils in the mid and neck position
They are rare too here in my country, but I had to get a new computer for deep learning.
I always saw it as a top-tier modding platform, had fun times with that guitar, I would wait for my pickups to ship for a month or so, and when I got them spend an afternoon modding it myself, then going to practice with a new sound, I recall getting a pretty decent jazz tone out of the air Norton S.
Friendly reminder that drugs WON'T make you better at music!
Users are losers!
I'm looking for an USB interface to play guitar in real time with effects applied to it. I guess I need something with low latency. I don't need any other bells and whistles, like many inputs or whatever. Can anyone recommend something?
Also, I'm still considering how to connect it to my regular desktop speakers. I've seen that I need one of those cables to convert the 2 outs of the interface to 1 out for my speaker. Can I also then hear the "regular" sounds from my computer or do I really have to reconnect the speakers every time after that?
get a rocksmith cable and use fl studio
I think you're mocking me, but I can't tell for sure.
I am annoyed, because from all the reviews I read it seems that most "cheap" USB interfaces have latency problems. I am annoyed because a 10 year old shitty soundcard (Creative Soundblaster) that I found had ASIO drivers that offered me an 8ms RTL. Why can't modern technology made for music playing offer the same?
Is an 8string necessary for djent chugs?
>still djenting in the year of our Lord 2019
it sure as hell wont make you play songs better but it sure is great inspiration for writing songs
Wrong.
i have a line 6 midi/audio interface. installed drivers. plugged in via usb.
installed audacity to test if it works. set the recording to my line 6. hit record, play some notes. nothing shows.
what am i doing wrong?
t. never written psych rock songs tripping balls
Time to start troubleshooting. In scenarios like this, it's always some innocuous little thing that you haven't thought of.
If you don't have ASIOforall installed, now is the time.
I like that you're jumping in the song and trying to keep good rhythm, rather than play all notes/chords in order and going off groove. I think it's the better approach. You're obviously going to improve and not have so many pauses everywhere if you keep practicing.
Other than that, as a quick tip, just lay into it. Your playing is hesitant, so it inspires meekness. Maybe if you hit hose strings a bit harder and grip those chords with more intent, it might sound better. Or it's just recording jitters, I don't know.
Keep it up, it's good for less than a year.
I have an old jazzbox and the neck is kinda coming off of the body. Something that can be DIY'ed or should I bring it to a professional?
Should I use a PA cabinet or just a normal guitar cabinet if I'm using an acoustic with a soundhole mounted pickup? Don't PA cabs have a broader range of frequencies?
not kinda, it already did.
take it to a pro.
Thanks user, this was a recording before I learnt the rest and noticed my timing issues. I couldn't be bothered to record it all again so I just uploaded this instead. As for the meekness, I'll definitely work on that. I'm aware of it myself

Should I just end it anons? I don't want to spend however long I have left before my disability kills me struggling at unpaid work placements once a week to retain my bux
I agree for anal-og shit. My Keeley digital chorus has sounds I can't get anywhere else. However I bought it used for half price so he doesn't get my money anyway lmao.
a question for people with large pedalboards - do you tweak pedals for each new song or just use the same settings during the whole set?
the only thing that matters is a type of the pickup, if you have a magnetic pickup you better use electric guitar amps, if you have an acoustic pickup, it can work with PA, but an acoustic amp is a better option
Who here /practicing/? Been practicing an arpeggio I wrote yesterday for a few hours both yesterday and today and still can't play it clean at intended speed. Fingers are starting to get tired now, I don't want to rest but I guess I should.
stereo vs mono
guitar is usually a mono track
My pedal board isn't necessarily big (10 pedals or so) and I generally tweak the delays or the distortion/fuzzes depending on the song
Usually stick to the same ish settings for distortion/fuzzes, but delays change a lot
Always wanted to learn TTNG's If I Sit Still, been getting better at tapping
Best to rest your fingers when you start making a lot of mistakes or you get tired (sometimes I'll fall asleep playing, idk)
Give them a good stretch and pick it up again tomorrow
Try applying kakapicking to it. Should almost double your speed and rest your hands
>(sometimes I'll fall asleep playing, idk)
Yeah that happens to me too, brain starts turning to mush after doing the same thing for so long. I'm not used to working my pinky as much as this is making me do so mostly that one that's getting tired. But it's good practice for me to use it more.
Thanks based kakaposter I nailed it now.
Welcome, my fren.
Don't forget to drop some warm kaka on your hands before a shredding session, it will help prevent injuries
I can play that song EZPZ. Keep your fingers straight when tapping or you won’t be able to hit that little triplet

been re-learning the bass after a 10 year hiatus, sucked back then but still could pull off shit like Iron Maidens Phantom of the Opera that sounded ok, but now i just wanna learn to play with the right techniques, heres my main problems
>fingers cant keep up, keep getting sidetracked whenever i have to jump my fingers from fret to fret fast
>fingers hover too far from the strings
>how do i remember the notes on the strings? if someone tells me on the fly; dont do A, do a D, it takes time for me to get find it, really frustrating
>any other beginner tips are useful
also scotts bass lessons suck ass in comparison to studybass, also does anyone have bass tabs for Iggy and the Stooges I Need Somebody?
Based and kakapilled
Whadya think? Thinking of replacing the Neunaber and Carl Martin trem with a Flint.
Use kakaslapping, only technique you'll ever need
>>fingers cant keep up, keep getting sidetracked whenever i have to jump my fingers from fret to fret fast
what the hell do you mean sidetracked
>>fingers hover too far from the strings
keep your fingers straight over the strings and only press down the fingers you're using, Adam Neely has a ton of videos on this check them out
>how do i remember the notes on the strings? if someone tells me on the fly; dont do A, do a D, it takes time for me to get find it, really frustrating
practice your scales while saying the notes you're playing out loud, if you don't even know EADG (open strings) by heart you're gonna have to learn what your open strings are lol
"what scales?" every scale nigga, chromatic, major and minor starting from every note
>any other beginner tips are useful
yes, play to a clicktrack/metronome every single fucking time or you're gonna hate yourself in 2/3 years
learn how to alternate your fingers and how to alternate picking, and yes, learn to play with both your fingers and a pick
ive tried slappin, but all i get is string noises, should the neck be more tighter when slapping? i mean that should the strings be as close as possible to the frets?
I hope you unscrewed the casing on each one of these after you bought them in order to look for sneaky pieces of kaka that may have been secreted into the enclosures. This happended to me once and I check every pedal now ... even my friends'
You're doing it wrong by omitting the kaka factor completely.
Add some kaka and you'll be slapping like wooten
Have you tried the Micro Amp before the Hoof? I always read EQD's Arrow always opened up the Hoof tonally so the Micro Amp is very similar.
Plz be true
Lads how do I into gallops and fast picking?
I can pick finger style and banjo type stuff without too much trouble but whenever I try learn a metal song I just can't keep the notes articulated, or maintain speed.
Any exercises or tips you would recommend?
Fastest thing I can play is Crystal Skull by Mastodon if you need to know where I'm at
You're fighting the rising tide, user.
Why not just go digital?
Never have actually. I always use the micro amp as an actual volume boost for solos. Gonna have to try it before the hoof tho, thanks!
Take it to a professional immediately.
Move to Norway; they have sensible social support for those who have been fucked by the long dick of the fates.
the answer every time anybody posts anything like this is literally start slow and speed up gradually.
why do you think your question will be answered any differently? what makes your approach to the technique special or different?
If you plan on going retard-fast like tech death stuff, practice doing gallops fully alternate picked, like down up down, up down up
You can go way faster like that and it's harder to learn if you wait
You forgot to mention the metronome. He might not have reached that realisation yet.
Thanks lads I'll do that stuff!
Hopefully one day I'll be able to play stuff like Bleed!
What kind of guitar is it. Repairing it might cost more than the guitar is worth.
I did actually almost nail it now, still a bit sloppy but thanks again based kaka.
I hadn't come to that realisation dude thanks!
No worries.
Use a metronome whenever you play ANYTHING. It's important for any musician, but for a bassist your timing is almost as important as a drummer. Start off very slowly: you need to be able to play perfectly. Only increase the tempo when you can play it perfectly at that tempo in any situation, including drunk (my personal metric). Increase the tempo 5bpm at a time.
Essentially, how you practice is how you will ultimately play. If you practice at tempos that you can play perfectly (and increase gradually), then your playing will be...
Only Roland™ is good enough.
bill gates
Firebird X is the Windows of electric guitars.
I have no idea, my dad gave it to me a long time ago and there's no brand or label on it
yes do it, go hotcake > micro amp > hoof
do you happen to play a vox? another alternative to the micro amp is the ep booster after the hotcake and the ep also sounds great with the hoof and your el capistan.
Cool ill have to try that.
I used to play a Vox, that's why I bought the hotcake. Now I use a Fender HRD though but the hotcake sounds great through that too.
how the fuck do you ear train intervals
always failed theory tests in high school cause of this
Ear training intervals is good practice, but transcription is the truth. Check out the links in the OP for a wide range of ear training exercises, but you MUST transcribe songs if you want to git gud.
by drilling them, duh. You start with the simple ones (octave, third, fifth) then the minor versions of those, then 4th, 6th and 7th, then 2nd 9th and 11th, and so on and so on until you're satisfied.
how do i start transcribing?
youtube.com
I need help identifying the picking pattern on the string skipping part that starts at 03:00.
I found this tab, but the picking doesn't match.

Did you give his knob a good slob?
Step one: listen to a song
Step two: figure out how to play it
moreso looking for how to write shit out
If you can play it, you can automatically write it out. Because it's trivial, it's not part of the skill.
what if i like farting kaka out of my butt?
Guys, does this look alright to you? I bought this 80s samick "offset" tele body and I got a scalopped neck to put on it, but to me it looks like the neck might need to be sanded, kinda looks to me like the very bottom of the neck is slightly uneven. Take a look, is it really supposed to be leaning back like that?
Shim it
Literally no way to tell and literally does not matter unless you sight down the neck.
Yeah, just looked at another guitar and I noticed the neck is infact Not supposed to lean back like that. Still I needed the second opinion since I don't own a tele I figured maybe they just did that on teles.
Thats a nice wmi guitar you posted. Correct me if im wrong.
I'm just scared I'll get that nasty rattle and fuzz you know? I'm scared of that high action. I like comfy low action and no fuzzy rattles.
Is just changing the string guage and tuning on my guitars/basses without adjusting intonation or the truss rods a bad thing? I dont really know how to do that stuff but usually theres not really a problem putting on heavier and lighter strings and switching tunings so is it fine to just do that?
Nah it's an esp Ltd mh-327. One of the coolest esps simply because of the 27 frets.
Depends how big of a difference you're going with, but you'll usually have to adjust intonation.
>is not adjusting it a bad thing
It's of course still playable but the intonation will obviously not be as good as it could be if you don't adjust.
Depends on how it's made. Lots of guitars have necks that lean. One of the great things about bolt-on necks is that you can shim them. String it up, and if the action is too low, and you can't get it right, then shim it.
Don't the Nordic countries have comparatively high standards for immigration (and high cost of living) because they know western europeans want to flood their for better quality of life?
Looks like a Kay from the 60s, they sound pretty great for what they are

And was it made in korea?
Good stuff man cheers!
Anyone knows a good book/site/whatever it helps to learn guitar in Spanish? I can read and understand English properly but it's always better if it is in your native language
Actually China, sadly. Apparently Korean means it's better, I didn't even know that, had to look up what that was about.

>tfw when i have to solo for the beginning of two of our covers
how do i into more feeling while playing on-stage my /gg/uys? I'm always so nervous when I go up there and I'm focused on getting the notes right that my playing loses all soul and comes off sounding so un-charismatic. What do you guys focus on when you're playing live to help get in the zone without losing focus on timing/notes and stuff?
Yeah korean ones are nice.
How often do you play with your guys? If you play a lot with em and become really confident, whenever you fuck up a note you'll be less bothered by it. Also realise most people won't notice a few notes played wrong unless they're really listening to your parts for the purpose of judging your accuracy or whatever.
but y tho
Fuck off
I figured it would be a way to make another human being talk to me in person for once in my life
>What do you guys focus on when you're playing live to help get in the zone without losing focus on timing/notes and stuff?
Having fun. But im not a lead guitarist so my playing perfect isnt too important.
that's a terrible reason to sell your guitar, I guarantee you'll regret it
I hope you get robbed
Ausfag heading to Japan in July and was planning to buy a used Tokai LP clone. My understanding is I'll need a CITES export certificate because of the rosewood board. Does anyone know any stores in Tokyo or otherwise that would sell used Tokai's and have the CITES paperwork? My understanding is most of the big stores don't issue the paperwork.
In the US you don't need cites documentation if you carry it onboard, musicians are allowed to carry their instruments. Shit, I even carried a guitar with brazilian rosewood in the neck and they couldn't say a damn thing about it.
I'm not the guy you're responding to, and am probably retarded, but how the fuck else is a guy gonna gallop without alternate picking? Am I an idiot?
My understanding of Aus is that I wouldn't need import paperwork if bringing it back in with me as personal luggage, but if quarantine/customs inspect it and decide that it is rosewood, then I will need to be able to establish the species and date of manufacture etc. via a Japan CITES export certificate.
Th thanks i guess
strict alternate, as in after every down is an up no matter what
down up down, up down up
- as opposed to the regular -
down up down, down up down
I doubt you would have a problem honestly. Hundreds of people travel with guitars everyday and a good chunk of them use rosewood.
I'm trying to find a cool looking acoustic or acoustic/electric guitar for at most 600. Any recommendations?
Oh gotcha, thanks man
Craigslist or Reverb.
Craigslist has overpriced shit reverb is where it's at. You also gotta meat the fat boomer dumbass from Craigslist but the one in reverb will shit it to you.
Don't make a decision you'll regret user, your guitar has nothing to do with you not socializing with people. Not even remotely memeing right now.
I always recommend pawn shops to people. It's super, super dependant on your region, but you can get some absolutely killer finds on the cheap if you know what you're looking for.

>dave mustaine and james hetfield are anime girls now
well okay
Marty Friedman's the real anime girl
Wtf are you talking about retard? Neither of them play bass. You fucking disgusting faggot
Dave's a Dean man
Beg to differ. My current arsenal is: 2012 malmsteen strat, 2014 john mayer strat, 2003 RG1570 with dimarzio liquifire and crunch lab, custom strat clone made in the US in 2014 with Klein jazzy cat pickups, 2016 musicman valentine and a half-decent seagull acoustic. Just need a decent Japanese les Paul clone now and ill stop.
Bolt on let's me adjust neck angle to my preference. Set does not. That said for a custom order where the neck angle will be how I like it I would prefer set neck.
What do you think of classical nylon guitars?
I think they're neato, I have one but I don't usually play classical on it
I'm starting to think that music (and most other artistic endeavors) just aren't for me. I feel like I have decent taste, but I can't seem to come up with anything good. I lack the attention span and motivation to incessantly practice. My voice isn't terrible, but it's too boring and clean for my liking. I guess I'll just stick to appreciating music. I literally just bought a new amp and guitar, too.
Deans are good
I'd rather have a nylon string strat
ok metalhead
no it’s the dd3 idiot
Define “good”. I like what I write when it reminds me of me, or of my experiences. This is because I make music for myself. What don’t you like about your music?
It always comes across as uninspired and forced. One of my favorite songs is literally just two chords repeated over and over, yet I can't write anything anywhere near as interesting.
That opinion is mirrored closely in acoustics so maybe it's classic rock players that are the retardos
>nuh uh if you make the neck super round it's easier to play chords
>acoustic players: git gud cletus
>see you want the thinner, narrower neck for shreddi-

how far the americans have fallen
Analyze the music. Map out the structure. Make a chord chart. Breaking down how music is literally written is useful. It goves you a template
Seeing that classical guitar getting abused with a pick triggers me.
Picks are sadly the only way to tremolo pick, which is essential to the spanish black nylon genre.
>fender strat
P Bass, user.
GUITAR IS TURNING YOU GAY
Jcm900fag here.
Im starting to look into basses. Csn some one knowledgeable g8ve me pros and cons on the following?
Fender p bass
Fender j bass
High end squier fretless ( played much better than expected. Murdered a similarly specced ibeenhad.)
Yamaha broad bass (which one?)
Dean hillsborough
4 string vs 5string vs 6 string?
>Picks are sadly the only way to tremolo pick
wtf that's not true whatsoever
finger tremolo is a way different vibe and sound
Dude. Build up your skills. Use your pinky too. Look up classical tremolo.
What exactly is the job of that lone pot?
Based boomer btfo shoegays pedalboard fags and tube boomers with that laptop
Difference between j and p bass is one you learn best by playing them yourself at a store. The necks play very differently most times. The other difference is having active or passive pick-ups (as well as having an onboard preamp or not) which could be very important in your choice. Regular pbass config is classic and simple. Jbass config usually has added brightness. Active pick-ups usually cut through a mix easier (certainly not impossible on a p, though). A true patrician has the best of both worlds and plays a pj config, the most versatile option.
Real bass players only need 4 strings. 5 strings are for people in metal bands, so enjoy playing riffs like bbb b b bb bbb b bbb bbbb bbb b b. 6 strings is only for fusion players who are extremely capable and technical players.
Sounds like spring in bloom, not a dark winter night sucking the life out of everything.
0/10 would not record with a walkman
False. Metal bassists wank harder than metal lead guitarists. It's just that they get turned down in the mix.
Assuming we're not talking about nu-metal.
Suck it up. I have 4 guitars, my go to guitar whenever I get an idea or for some quick practice is my acoustic.
If you can play a riff or a solo on it, it's 20 times easier when you pick up the electric afterwards.
>Recording through MME
Audacity doesn't come with ASIO support. Enjoy your 200ms latency if you can even get it to work, or get something with ASIO support to record with.
And don't use ASIO4All unless you have to, it's a fallback, not supposed to be the daily driver.
Anyone have a prestige Ibanez? Do you like it? Are they worth it buying used?
If you want to immigrate just wander over on foot and tell them you're an asylum seeker. They'll eat it up.
I went to Oz last year and took a rosewood guitar with me, no problem. Just take the neck off and shove it in your bag.
Play to a metronome, play 50bpm, then 100, then 150 then 200 and then 220.
Gallops are easy, use a thicker pick it's easier to feel the string. There's no magic, just practice it every day for 15 mins for 2 weeks and your muscle memory will start to pick it up.
Learn to downpick at fast BPMs too like based downpicking god John Browne
youtube.com
He has a course for metal guitarists called Riffhard with a downpicking gym if you want to shill $30 a month.
Thanks man!
This dude's got robot hands, retarded fast and accurate with the downpicks
Is a key of a song always the first note played of a song?
Remember to only increase the tempo in increments of 5bpm - start at 50, then 55, then 60, etc. And only increase when you can play it perfectly every time at that tempo.
Ebay, cheap Chinese, if you get one change the locking nut or the normal nut, for it will be cheap as shit and likely to malfunction. Honestly you're better off doing the scalopping yourself or having someone do it for you on a guitar you already own.
Why expensive and heavy amps and gear when you could just go digital?
No.
I really, really suck but wanna play with other people. I have a weird ass bass that I took the A string off of. How do I ask people to jam with me? I am just so tired of playing by myself
Buy an A string.
Cheers for the detailed explanation as to why you're right
Make some friends
He's right. Songs usually end on the tonic, but there's nothing to say they have to start on it.
no, just figure out the melody/melodies of each section and that will tell you the scale
The first notes are usually ear bait
Largely true, unless the artist makes the conscious decision to avoid it (ex weak cadence)
Found the gibsoy boi. Wasn't difficult, you chumps are more vocal than vegans
Please don't reply to bait.
who else /proudshitplankowner/ here
virgins here spending thousands on "artisan" and "boutique" shit they dont need and they can't even finish a song, imagine that

would it be a bad idea to buy a shitty behringer pedal and make my own enclosure for them out of scrap metal
So you can have a shitty pedal in an even shittier enclosure?
It's your money, bud.
i mean its only like 20 bucks for the plastic pieces of shit
I'm just wondering if putting one in a closure that won't immediately break if you breathe on it would be a good idea
Why don't you invest the time and money such a venture would cost you into buying a non-shit pedal for roughly the same?
I'm right because of music theory.
I have $100 to spare what do I get
I used to shit on LTD and ESP, until I got one in my hands. They have FUCKING AMAZING GUITARS. But, I see how a lot of people fly away from them because they have an amazing genre based clients (cough metal).
buy a used shitplank from guitarcenter or buy strings, picks, cables, and maybe a strap
I already have a shitplank (affinity tele), wanted to get parts for said shitplank.
Um, volume?
a job
Some of them sound exactly like what they are cloning like their chorus pedal.
Why do shredders tend to lean towards strats instead of lesbian pauls and sgs?is it because of the wammy bar or is it just because they are a little bit brighter?
first pedal ideas?
Easier access to the upper frets.
not very good bait there m8
If you have baby hands that fit comfortably in the typical gibson cutaway, go for gibson.
Most people don't.
There's a reason there's been a huge market for "super strats" since the 80s and absolutely no fucking market for a "super Les Paul" or a "Super SG".
Now don't get me wrong, I love the SG, but it's not comfy to play upper frets with it.
>"super Les Paul"
you mean a gibson with humbuckers?
>this nigga actually thinks anyone no matter the size of their hand finds the upper frets on a bolt on neck comfier than an sg or led poles upper frets
lol guitarlet
Because all super strats are bolt ons or use that disgusting fender heel, right?
