Evan Scott
Someone redpill me on G&L guitars /gg/ seems to universally agree that they're great, but at the same time i can't help but feel like it's some kind of inside joke because i went on Thomann and read some of the review of their Tribute Tele ASAT and they were pointing out a lot of build flaws like literally being able to peek inside the hole of the pickups, having to completely readjust nut and neck and even frets (i don't even know how that's done) string action and even tuners and pickups were wonky and had to be readjusted. Another review said again that the hole underneath the pickup can be seen and that the fucking saddle of all things was off position which resulted in the strings never being right where they should be on the fretboard/neck.
What gives?
Parker Rogers
You need to look at MIA G&L guitars, the tributes are all made over seas.

I heard Agiles are pretty good too.
Nathan Myers
Fuck it's been ages since I've seen Agile being meme'd
Lucas Hernandez
What's Agiles Hence why i asked in my original post whether it's genuine praise or some sort of inside joke. Then again i switched to english reviews for the Tribute guitars and saw nothing but praise. I'm not so sure anymore. Thomann has a really flexible guaranteed money back system but it would be a hassle to order and then send back guitars until i manage to get a good one if their build quality is inconsistent.
Austin Lopez
Yep, fantastic guitars. Bro, you should really look into a Yamaha Pacifica instead. You just can't go wrong with one of those.
Don't think like a Rock Star, avoid learning complex Heavy Metal songs when you're first starting out. Adopt yourself a "Kill Rock Stars" attitude because nobody is born with talent, everything takes practice. "Talent" is something Rock Stars will tell beginners they have instead telling you the truth about how they spent hours everyday learning their instrument. Don't aspire to be Eddie Van Halen, it's easy for beginners to lose motivation that way.
Study chords and memorize them, it becomes easy after a while. Literally get yourself a notebook and write down things you need to know.
Start out learning moderately Easy genres on guitar for example:
Blues 1950s Rock and Roll Surf Rock Garage Rock Punk
For bass I would just start out with basics. Don't think like a guitar player when you're playing bass, you're apart of the Rhythm section.
You need to have the drive to learn and the patience to learn, nobody sounds good once they start playing. You will get the hang of it if you practice everyday instead of letting your instruments sit around catching dust.
Daniel Butler
>falling for online marketing amazon reviews are completely reliable i don't care what they say

Mind you even the most negative reviews that point out many build flaws still praise the sound of the guitar, so i'm assuming that once you get a good one you have a really good one.

>then /gg/ will die one can only hope
Jose Bennett
the fret board is curved, the radius is refering the the radius of a circle where the top of the fret board is a fragment of. the bigger the radius and therefore circle the less it curves in a small area.
flat means its not curved
Luke Watson
To what ends?
Henry Hall
oh wow really no way that's amazing i had no idea
Henry Reyes
i see, something like that was my assumption, thanks for clarifying
curved ones make it easier for beginners to play chords because less finger pressure is needed especially on ones where you bar with the index finger. fender made a lot of curvy ass fretboards and this made them popular because they were easy to learn chords on.
flat ones make it easier to do bends, play rapid sequences of single notes, and also easier to pick precisely and especially fingerpick. classical guitars are very flat and most acoustic guitars are relatively flat compared to fenders which are special snowflakes.
how do you guys deal with sweaty hands? the pick always ends up in a weird position and fucks me over because of the sheer amount of liquid dripping from my palms at all time

Use Wegens. Other picks with grips help too, but the material on these is really resistant to slipping as well.
>Standard black tortex or ultex, maybe the odd jazz III now and then >No slipping whatsoever What the fuck is wrong with you people? You don't even need to grip shit hard.

Using snowflake ambient effects pedals isn't experimental. It's an established genre with a ridiculous boutique industry built to its needs, right down to the image cultivated by its artists.
The new experimental is writing your own algorithms for digital effects and re-ordering them on the fly, unconstrained by the static signal chain of a pedalboard. DIY effects are going to be the next thing and in 10 years pedals will be doing worse than tube amps as most people will be cycling through presets they loaded onto their pedal pis.
What's the point? Practicing guitar spinning?
Xavier Gutierrez
What do you look for when buying a cabinet? I heard orange and emperor make good cabs but i don't know what makes them good
Lincoln Howard
cheap not fucked up speakers work sounds good
strap your guitar on your back, pick up your amp head, and walk to the pawn shop.
Aaron Parker
i thought the point was to hear the music they create, not to take photos and stare at them
what have you recorded?
James Brown
>The new experimental is writing your own algorithms for digital effects and re-ordering them on the fly,
I used to use Max/Msp to basically do the same thing. Pedals have advanced so much in the last 10 years it's more conducive to creativity to just plug in and play through a pedalboard (also they now make pedals to change your signal order)
3 shitplanks clumped together. Bet they all came from the same chink factory.

Lincoln Morales
>not one but three nice guitars based and redpilled
Gavin Brown
I know about switches. I've built them for friends because they didn't want to pay $100 for a passive switch.
And it's still pretty dated to re-order digital effects with old fashioned wiring when you can do all that with programming on a $30 mini-computer with a $10 circuit stuck onto the GPIO pins. Unless you're really loyal to specific brands or are a high level tone hipster and think pure digital effects sound worse, somehow.
Levi Powell
why would you buy these overpriced hand soldered metal boxes when you can download a fuzz these days
do you really believe using diodes from 1940 will give you a noticeably better tone
I play with a piece of 1 month ultra concentrated constipation kaka that I left to dry slowly, it's even much more dense and resonant than a Les Paul. Then I sculpted it into the shape of a homeless man's toenail, and that's what I use Really brings out the harmonics.
Julian Jenkins
Every "boutique" pedal adds 10% to the "50% chance this pedalboard has never been on a stage"
Jonathan Ramirez
Who doesn't use boutique pedals these days. It's not the 90s anymore grandpa.
Aaron Morgan
Isn't it like 3 years old now? I just want an hifi sounding pickup that is like normal pickup price.
Jose Hill
replace westwood with a cheap klon clone, or build it 1:1 yourself so you know you're getting the circuit without modification. even with the out of production caps and diodes parts will run under $60. beware of ready made parts lists, check them against known info, they usually change shit just to screw with people. sell the boost and fuzz, these are simple circuits you should build yourself
Nathaniel Clark
Yeah I mean I don't perform live I just jam with my buddy and record for fun but desu most of these pedals are around the same price as non boutique ones and I got them for pretty good prices over the course of the last 5 years
Lucas Campbell
I play epic kakapicking solos with a handmade kakapick
Cameron Scott
A non boutique pedal is a generic effect that can be had for less than $50. They're all over amazon and a lot of them sound pretty fine.
Then you step up to boomertique (ie: boss waza craft, TC electronic) and finally boutique ($300 fuzz pedal made from electronics salvaged from old russian vibrating dildos)
Isaiah Myers
Why would I sell and build what I already own? Besides I'm not looking to get in to building pedals I just got these to play music And I hate klons
Adrian Young
Because you could put the money you got back into a retirement fund like an adult instead of leaving it invested in a toy.
>inb4 ten bucks of parts off digikey soldered by a guy from oregon and sold for $100 with a cartoon painted on the enclosure is NOT a toy
Nathan Sanchez
You okay there buddy?
None of these cost close to 300 I paid more for the power supply than any pedal on here the Amherst ran me like 145?

With analog effects you could get by with carefully taking them apart, copying the circuit, and then returning them.

nah smaller organized societies are capable of resorting to communal property and labor in times of need to adapt and build things like indoor farms, unlike the unwashed city dwelling masses which rely on the slow and unwilling reaction of big business to keep their lives in order and vast expanses of land to produce their food (because building enough artificial ecosystem to feed that many people would require mass conscription and resource commandeering that a place like the US would never accept)

There was an extinction report just released this week saying we are all on our way out user has a point we can't live without birds and bees and flowers and trees even if you are in Greenland
Nicholas James
Did you miss the part where we currently do have people living in wastelands but removing radioactive waste effectively is still a little beyond us? We can't even remove hormonal birth control that well on a large scale which is probably why you were born a homosexual.
Environmental collapse reduces the number of people that can survive until manmade environments improve but it doesn't end the world.
Connor Bennett
*laughs in hydroponic farming in the middle of a desert*
How do you farm when there's no clean water left to send to the farm
Joshua Foster
farms don't use clean water user. they use water intentionally polluted with insecticide, herbicide, and fertilizer. the water is dirty because of the farms.
thankfully we can just filter that shit out and we don't need birds, bees, flowers, or trees growing in the wild to do it.
Luke Garcia
You need them to pollinate
Jayden Brown
I'm a beginner to playing electric guitar, all I know are some parts of songs. The start of Queen - Bohemian Rhapsodys piano, a section from Can't Stop, and some vidya osts like Metal Gear Solid 2's main theme and Persona 5's Layer Cake but they don't count. This is all shit though, I don't even know how to properly strum strings up and down consistently without getting caught in some or hitting a bunch of wrong ones. I don't even know how to play chords.
I'm not a "complete" beginner but I got no idea what to to try practice or do next to keep improving, everything else I try to do seems way outta my grasp like muting strings with your thumb during Can't Stop to get it perfect seems ridiculous.
Artificial pollination has been around for a while

of course you need to be able to play guitar to do this

To me it means relatively inexpensive but does well at low noise volumes mainly since I don’t wanna disturb other people in the house
Whenever I ask for an amp recommendation I get around 4 different amps and rarely does anyone agree
I’m just looking for a versatile do it all thing
Jacob Campbell
Alright budget 1000 ish for high gain amp. Been looking at this sunn beta lead combo (solid state so theres that) evh el34 50 watt head. Recommendations welcomed
get a direct box plug it into your computer download amp modeling software get some nice headphones with a loooong cable plug your guitar into the direct box practice on literally any amp you want
and wonder how much music you listen to was created this way
bear in mind software will sound a lot more like a mic'd up amp (what you hear in youtube videos), while amps sound different in a room, so you will get THAT sound
When a guy who is playing guitar on camera who owns an actual klon and a vintage fender is saying you can use a computer just fine, listen to that guy, not poorfa/gg/s.
Colton Mitchell
Just cause I'm not picking the food I eat means I'm out of nature dumbass
Dylan Carter
If you eat some berries out of season chances are they were grown in a greenhouse and pollinated with a captive population of insects or an artificial method and most of the meat we eat is grown as unnaturally as possible and will soon be grown in vats instead of massive arrays of cages.
As a species we are more than capable of separating from nature and with a concerted effort, "freedom" and "property rights" be damned, we could replace farm after farm and orchard after orchard with technology that we are far better at maintaining.
So I've been holding my pick wrong the whole time and strumming wrong also, should I just hang myself now or something?
Wtf man.

I'm not a guitar beginner, in fact i'm intermediate but i honestly don't know much about the instrument itself. I was thinking about buying a new e-guitar so i went to the local music shop to try some out. There are people who have various preferences when it comes to how a guitar plays like fingerboard radius, neck thickness, the shape of the back of the neck and so on, and a lot of guitar players seem to immediately know when they don't like how a guitar feels in their hands. However when i try out different guitars i can't really tell a difference. I mean i know that there's a difference but none of these differences seem to make a guitar more or less comfortable for me to play, but maybe that's just because I'm a noob and i don't know what kind of feel to look for.
How do you develop a feeling for this? When you, /gg/ hold a guitar in your hands, do you immediately notice how it plays "differently"? Same for me with pickups. I can tell the difference in sound between Humbuckers and Single Coil but i can't really distinguish between different single coil or humbucker sounds and if i can i don't really know what sounds "better"

Trips! If I were you, try going to the shop first and demoing it there. If it feels comfortable for you then by all means get it. The positive out of the situation is with that fifth string you won't have to be jumping around the fretboard as much and it'll be easy for you to find a spot and lock in to the groove.
Thomas Rivera

Some realize that they are very talented and they try to command respect for it. Some have some trauma or adversity that causes them to act that way. Some will never be more than mediocre and it frustrates them to a point that they need to blame others for their shortcomings just to blow off steam. A lot of them are just arrogant, they buy into their self created hype too much. Most of them are still good people but if you're not a patient person you will butt heads with them. I have no real opinions on people though, I either get along with them or I don't. You always have to expect certain attitudes but honestly things have chilled out a lot the last few years. I've been writing down thoughts on why that is but I don't have any firm stance yet. Older people are definetly more polar to work with; their ideas are more concrete in a place that's always shifting like mud or they open to try anything because they've already done the normal things countless times.
>do you mean people here on /gg/ are beginners starting out? Some are, some aren't, some like to stir up trouble(myself included) and some just like to bait. It's obvious a lot of people here are beginners pushing towards intermediate. It's a decent mix here though, and I enjoy the shit talk so I keep coming back. I can tell a lot of guys don't post their gear or too much information because they are active abd that same picture might be out there on instagram.

Would a Blue Yeti be a good mic to fool around recording guitars and vocals on? Nothing serious, I'm just starting out
yes any cheap mic would do starting out. i started with a $15 sm57 copy plugged into the onboard mic on
Joseph Martin
True, but I'm okay with that. How do you know that it's street slang though? So far I haven't found anything about it online, just stuff like "Nacht der Gitarren", which is, again, the genitive usage as I mentioned.
Carson Ortiz
I'm baiting and you lost
James Murphy
Just dropped 400(combined on Squier Vintage Modified Stratocaster hss and Blackstar Fly3, an Amazon basics guitar stand, d'addario cable, some picks, and a fresh set of 9-44 strings. I think I spent too much for a beginner. Also kind of worried my amp isn't that good. Any experience with the fly3?
Bentley Taylor
yeah your amp isnt good enough. buy a better one ffs.
Joseph Thompson
Wouldn't be my first choice but it'll handle acoustic guitar and singing well enough.
Eli Gutierrez
Kind of a weird bait but okay.

Hey man what SSRI you on? Libido and anhedonia isn’t always a class based effect for some people. Switching your agent could help with that for sure. Paroxetine (Paxil) has the highest incidence that I’m aware of for instance
David Powell
T is not a musical note
Lincoln Rodriguez
I'm not familiar with that scale.
Julian Wood
Will do soon. Probably gonna have to wait a month or so. Any recommendations for now.
I'm limited on space and money so 300 dollars max and small too. I might try and buy a used thr10
good ol' Prozac He's actually switching me to Viibryd right now which is supposed to have lowest sexual side effects. Takes three weeks to stop the 'zac though, so that sucks. I'm looking forward to being able to bust fat nuts again, not gonna lie
PS nice guitar discussion lmao
Xavier Morales
do re mi fa so la T do
bitch
Aaron Martin
Based
Zachary Barnes
why are you talkin about ssris
Gavin Fisher
it's a trans note
Hunter Parker
It was originally guitar related I was depressed and not doing my normal hobbies, then it helped and now I am They're not all bad
Colton Cook
are trans notes accidentals?
Luis Powell
what hobbies besides guitar i'm depressed but active are you dependent on ssris now
Nolan Bell
maybe not such a great thing to increase, but more productive in video games now too lol
I have no idea if I'm dependent. That was one thing I asked the psych and I didn't really get a clear answer on it. Do you just have to take SSRIs for the rest of your life now, or does it fix your brain shit and you can eventually ween off and still be fixed? We'll see how it goes
Kevin Jones
looks like you are. the libido and erections got back at least?
Lincoln Allen
still have full libido and erections, just can't cum more than half the time, and when I do I have to work at it for literally three hours. It's anorgasmia
It's a weird trade for being productive at guitar again. Sometimes doesn't seem worth it, but if this med switch works it'll be good. It's weird fucking with the pharma-jew
How do i be as good as grant green? Hes my fucking idol. I listen to no other music. Ive been into him sonce i was a kid. Listening to him with my parents. Im 21 going on 22 and gor my first guitar by repairing a broken one from the dump. How how how can i be grant green.

Levi Cox
I guess you could say they are mistakes

>boomer reviews Yeah yeah, the nut needed replacement, the tuners needed to be changed, the saddles were swapped and the pickups and pots were replaced. It's always the same shit. And after all that dunning kruger induced luthiership, these guitars will never play anything but the minor pentatonic. Very sad existence mostly for the instrument but also for that midlife crisis boomer.
Jacob Watson
The guitar industry can count itself lucky that this kitschy flamed maple finish actually flies. Only guitarists would be stupid enough to buy this tasteless poop.
Jacob Rogers
Never seen any furniture outside of Ikea huh?
Dylan Campbell
w2c tonebender clone?
Aaron Bennett
The bookmatching is bad on many guitars. It's flame maple, not flamed. Flame maple naturally looks like ripples off a fire, flamed wood is where heat is used to accentuate the grain or darken the wood.
