fuck claire would so much cuter without that fugly nose ring. even still i would nut in her left nostril (the one without the piggy ring thingy) >pick semi related
I'll tell you whats so sad about this: I had a better interface than that when I was 17. This guy is 30 and this is the best he could do. I bought my first real $2000 Gibson when I was 19 like it was nothing. He struggled for over a year to put away $500 for a chinkshit Dean. I still have phone recordings I did when I was 14 that completely smoke everything he's ever uploaded here. If all that wasn't bad enough he also works as a lowly day laborer. I mean, I once did manual labor too... when I was a 12yo mowing grass. Imagine graduating high school and still showing up everyday to pick up trash at a construction site for near minimum wage and the thought of doing better for yourself never crossing your mind for 12 years. But that's our Jcum.
He can't play. He's poor. But most importantly, he's profoundly stupid.
That's the thing though: he's not just a pathetic loser, he's like some mind boggling super loser on meth with brain damage. But that's the fun part, punching down on such a wretched creature makes me feel like a big man and it's justified because he deserves it for totally failing at basic American life.
lmao but this isn't his wake up call either. Could you imagine?

Every time I'm frustrated with my shit playing I listen to a jcum voc and it reminds me what no talent actually sounds like. Thanks for inspiring me to practice today, user.
I've seen him post it with pride and try to talk shit to everyone who criticizes it. It astounds me every time.
Justin Murphy
i thought you guys were just being a bunch of assholes guess i was wrong if that is really him. why in the world would any body that bad put a trip on and have a name here? for what purpose?
Elijah Carter
He's delusional as fuck. He thinks he's good. He also thinks he is soley responsible for /gg/ staying up, and also plays a $250 Dean and tries to talk shit to everyone with real guitars.
He's just a really delusional guy, but then he tries to turn around and act like he's superior to everyone else. That's the part that nobody can stand, and is why we make fun of him. We're trying to get him to leave. But all he does is change trips to evade filters and starts the whole thing all over again.
He's even going to respond to this post with >rent free He sees it as an accomplishment that anyone is talking about him at all.
Lucas Miller
the other day there was someone saying he was mentally challenged. i thought it was just overly aggressive shitposting but after hearing that vocaroo and seeing the way he always responds to people i'm not too sure it isn't true to some extent now. i'm not going to feel bad for him anymore after this

>We're trying to get him to leave. This isn't my goal at all. My goal is simply to destroy /gg/, I made a promise ;^)
See, what no one seems to comprehend is that the more he's here (and the more he posts) the objectively worse the general is. I cultivated him into what he is over a period of time with what amounts to reverse psychology and simple emotional manipulation. I tried to mold Samuel the same way but he wasn't quite desperate and stupid enough to utilize for my purpose (hence him earning my begrudging respect for not falling for my game in the end). I needed a loser who I could maneuver into always being here and actively running off anybody who actually wanted to progress or have legitimate discussions about guitar. This in essence doubled my efforts with half the work.
Again: >he can't play >he has no knowledge of value >he exclusively shitposts (lol even when he thinks he's not) And last but not least: >he's always here
Basically I turned him into a doppelganger of one of the characters I've been playing here for the last few years, my wetback proxy if you will. At one point I even took his trip away so people couldn't filter him to make him even more determined to put the work in.
And it's working out great so far, take a look around. All that's left of /gg/ is a few high school meal babbys, some third world shitskins, and incessant/unending shitposting. Everybody of value is long gone. I turned this place into a black hole, if you came here actually wanting to play guitar you'd haul ass after just a few minutes in /gg/ because absolutely nothing constructive is happening.
I am become autism, destroyer of worlds. I'm playing the most fun game of all.
tone woods don't really matter for electrics, especially if you're looking at mid-tier instruments like MIM I don't know how the bb434 neck compares, but I like the Jazz Bass neck and how the weight sits
But play both, in a variety of settings (different amps, different effects, tone nob settings, etc) since that's the only way to really know.

The only rule is you can not play metal on it. Metal sounds like dogshit on anything but a bog standard 6 string guitar with passives. If you go this route you must learn to love clean and slightly overdriven tones, classical, and jazz fusion.
This was general was lretty shit a year ago, but at least it was ok. Now 2 autistic fucks go back and forth, making up 40% of the posts in everythread. The Gibson fag makes up another 30%.
That’s because everyone here is low hanging fruit. They basically beat on themselves through making fun of jcum or whatever.
Alexander Morales
oh i see now. you were projecting. carry on
Zachary Perry

Thomas Wood
>Metal sounds like dogshit on anything but a bog standard 6 string guitar with passives.
it's fucking true. metal tones suck now.
back in my day real men scooped the fuck out of their mids with two RATs and cranked up the volume until they were heard and the rich, noisy sound of hot as fuck humbuckers defined the genre. it was expressive, it was soulful.
now it's a bunch of kids cranking the fuck out of their mids to "cut through the mix" and playing with two fucking noise gates for a "tight" tone. because they're closeted bassists.
Elijah Green
>Why yes, I play listen to and play metal. How did you know?

They've made both styles off and on the whole time. They're called 58s and 67s.
Jeremiah Long
I do. I play every guitar I have every day.
Christian Roberts
Yeah, they look really neat and retro but as far as function goes tuneomatics suck
Everything except gross height adjustment and intonation is set when the bridge is made, and there's not a whole lot of intonation adjustment. Fine if your guitar is entirely glued together for the rest of time, but that's a dated design too. A good bolt on neck sustains better and is just as comfy to play - unusually comfier than your average gibson neck joint.
Kayden Murphy
As a matter of fact, both versions are in the current Gibson lineup.
Ayden Watson
its cute you think that
Aaron Moore
OK, but I don't get why you felt the need to post that.
Jackson Anderson
>A good bolt on neck sustains better lol stopped reading right there
Yeah you did Not surprising you can't hear your accent failures considering how often you ask for help with simple ear-learning

Hmmm, I might have to post a recording of myself playing to see if I qualify as being better than jcum. Wait for it this weekend lads. It will probably be a bunch of choruses over a jazz standard like Solar.
Oliver Richardson
If you've ever done any scale practice going up the triads ain't shit
Jose Bailey
So for the longest time I've been using the Big Muff as my main distortion pedal and I really like it. I can't seem to find any other distortion pedals I like. I know pedals/tone and all that is subjective/taste but any distortion pedals you guys recommend? It seems like the amp distortion is always better but maybe I'm wrong
More sustain, and more attack so brainlets don't notice the sustain.
Fender heels are better.
Colton Lee
holy fuck i didnt even say triads on that vocaroo, i said TETRADS are you deaf?
Elijah Long
Well you'd know, I guess.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Benjamin Jones
i like my condor with contoured heel. best of both worlds. who needs to rely on a gay sounding neck joint to have attack? i have plenty of attack with my picking.

Cooper Thompson
to be fair most people don't practice scales at all and just look up tabs from songs they like
Landon Jenkins
Now imagine your neck joint actively makes your sound softer and girlier. That's what it's like to play an anime girl guitar.
Pic related, its what you sound like when you play a gibson.
Yeah fuck, I wish my Epiphone Dot (ES 335) had a more adjustable bridge. I really like the precision that the fender style bridges give you. Can you even get an archtop or semi-hollow with those individually saddled bridges though?
Connor Evans
I decided to play your game, /gg/. Just this once to shut all of you up forever. You won't ever get another clip of my playing ever again.
He also said he still lives off of Burzum (mainly) and Myfarog. He has said that if you can succeed then that's great but you probably wont and therefore it isnt worth trying for the money. He still makes music though like his recent lyre stuff. >playing stolen riffs on a gibshitplank >Kvlt Kkk, mayhem is bad.
Austin Lopez
>Now imagine your neck joint actively makes your sound softer and girlier let me guess, you're also desperate about food that lowers your testosterone and raises your estrogen in a desperate attempt to have some manliness? pic related is you using bolt on guitars exclusively.
Barely. You're not even considering the fact that a '61 style SG joins the body at the 22nd fret where you have more fret access than any of the vintage Fender guitars

Looks like an explorer with a floyd, maybe a chibson but the headstock reminds me more of a kramer than the traditional explorer style. The lighting is weird so it could be a destroyer with a standard(but poorly proportioned) trem.

Varg is also the type of person that dies first when shit hits the fan.

Juan Torres
And you got the answer in the very first reply - No. Even if you can't play a fucking note, go to a store, see if the neck profile fits your hands, see if the scale length fits the length of your fingers, see if you have good reach over all 6 strings without having to contort your hands painfully.
You want "friendly advice", go to plebbit.

Great choice. Tele's are dead simple and hold tune extremely well. One of the best beginner choices and unless its a vintage spec its gonna have a pretty modern/thin neck that will work for almost anyones hands. Go for it
Jacob Gutierrez
This. Faggots can't into metallurgy, B8 is much different than 304.

I hated mine because it was a 21 fret twang machine that hummed all the time so i couldnt even approximate other tones and couldnt learn a lot of songs that needed fret 22+. Beginners should buy 24 fret hsh superstrats with coil splitting and non floyd trems. They arent tone masters that do every sound exactly, but the versatility lets you do any song or genre, they’re fucking everywhere, and you can get a good one for cheeeeeaaaap.
