Hey guys, who's Roman?
Reposting
I couldn’t decide on bass or guitar so in the end I just chose bass and hopefully don’t get bored.
What else do I need to buy? Just a stand and headphones if I wanna practice without bothering everyone?
I’m about to buy a player jazz bass, rumble lt25 amp and a cable.
could be anyone really
>bass
A decent metronome and keep using it no matter what you play. If you can't keep time, you're fucking useless no matter how fast you play on the bass.
i kno rite
name of a hot trip

>t. roman
>bowl cuts are hot
If you can afford it, I'd also recommend an interface and some kind of DAW. Helps to be able to record and hear yourself back to see where your technique might be going wrong. Also can't stress how right is, its one thing to be a guitarist with loose time (they can get away with treating it as a 'stylistic' choice) but bass sounds like shit if you're not locked into the pocket
Tell me about it, hubba hubba...
Unfortunately a MIM bass is stop if my budget rn so no DAW. I’m buying an amp even though I’ll be using headphones mostly.
Can I get good practing alone? I have no friends. Also do you know if talkingbass course is worth buying? I like his teaching style in vids I’ve seen.
If you have a Mac, garageband works great as a way of supplementing your practise with playback, and it doesn't cost a thing too.
>Can I get good practing alone?
Absolutely. As long as you manage your time efficiently and are able to dedicate at least a few hours a day to practise there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to pick it up fairly quickly. Play along with a variety of songs with different tempos and feels, take difficult individual sections and loop them to a metro while building up speed and precision (this is why its good to have a DAW), and study the techniques of your favourite players. Of course, there is a ceiling to this kind of practise, since so much of performance is grounded in the ability of players to listen and respond to other players spontaneously in real time. I can't tell you how amazing it feels when you take a chance and do something off-chart and it goes down a treat because your band are able to hear what it is you're doing differently. You simply can't have that experience playing to backing tracks
>Also do you know if talkingbass course is worth buying?
no course is truly worth spending money on. Either pay for private lessons or just endlessly consume free content on youtube. Some of it is significantly worse than others, but for the most part there is some genuinely valuable stuff on there.
why do you think this is funny? are you brain damaged?
guys who look like

here's Per Nilsson also improvising on a 6 string. your memes hold no merit here, friend
the op of the old thread had a anime girl holding this weird looking guitar. what in the world is it called i cant find one that looks like it on google
sam sam sam i am
known for fucking pringles cans
and though i tried so hard to clean
my dick still smells like sour cream
lole yea like every other incel meal sausage nobody's ever heard of, there's prolly millions of 'em jacking their tiny dicks somewhere as we speak
>nobody's ever heard of
lmao @ your life senpai. he's the lead guitarist of Meshuggah and Scar Symmetry. oh hey, here's Per Nilsson improvising on a stratocaster. just for you, grandpa
>Meshuggah and Scar Symmetry
lol uh huh
wat? I thought malmsteen is the lead guitarist of Meshuggah and Scar Symmetry
says the temp for manual labor lol big man holds a new job down every week
put up or shut up. let's see those guitar skills, senpai. I want to see you put Per Nilsson in his place.
Your machine is as stupid as you are

I said on your knees, old man
I think it's some old YouTuber guitarist that kid wants to suck off or something...? Not really sure to be honest.
>I think it's some old YouTuber guitarist
He's been on 17 albums in his career so far and that's not counting all the guest musician credits.
Stop being gay Jesus is watching
Nilsson: 17

OH NO NO NO NO
I fucking hate Scar Symmetry, but his work with Kaipa is great.
Guys after years of trying to learn blues and metal i have come to a rather embarrassing conclusion

Add a lot of 7s, add a lot of muted fast strums.

bro you dont even play guitar lmao

excuse my retardation here user but what do u mean by 7s?
Triad + 7th.
If that's not enough for you to go by, I suggest you at least learn some extremely basic theory.
i gotcha sorry user im a little high atm
You can't make this shit up.

Is a Fender Deluxe 90 DSP Combo too much wattage for an amp meant for indoors?
I can get one in very good condition for about 250$
Just turn the master volume down bro
High wattage amps are fine unless you really want natural amp distortion
Ill take that as a yes.
I cant imagine being that pathetic
F# if you know theory E if you just know chord shapes
>natural amp distortion
as i get better, i want to play metal more sooo ... is this an issue?
I'm still green
No, distortion and overdrive pedals work fine. Amp distortion is some audiophile shit and you want a 5w mini tube amp for it.
okay cool
I'm in the market for a new guitar.
Getting a Ibanez SA160 and Fender Deluxe 90 DSP Combo for $600 total...
The guitar is a little scratched up due to belt rash. But front looks good.
My buddy is saying it's a great deal.
>as i get better, i want to play metal
Then don't buy a fender amp. They're great for cleans, not so much for high gain.
And you're getting fucking ripped off. You're paying stock price for the amp and getting a shitty 2008 made in China thrown in.
Do any online stores (UK) give discounts if you buy a guitar, amp and bunch of other stuff or is it not a thing?
I have a 0.022uf capacitor that has the letter K on it instead of all the ones I have seen on Amazon that have J on them, what would be the difference between the two when in a guitar? Would there be any significant difference?
This.
K stands for kaka and thus it is better for brown tones
>I want to play metal more
>so how's this cheap ibanez that costs as much as a new squire and low gain digital fender amp
no
reverb.com
$225 amp
$300 guitar
$50 shipping
i saved you $25 and saved you from having nasty ass tone
K stands for Katana, it makes you cut through the mix like all the J-rock legends
i think it's made in korea
and the amp is 400$ new and the guitar about 500$ new.
you think i'm getting ripped still...? what do you recommend as a good practice guitar? right now i have a simple Yamaha ERG121C from Costco 15 years ago lol
I believe that's tolerance. It doesn't matter for a guitar.
ok thanks for the input, white brother
Yeah you're getting ripped especially if you want a more rock and metal sound.
>i think it's made in korea
Guess again. The SA160 is a Made in China shitplank. SA is the model, it being an S body (thinner than RG, rounded off a bit, carved top on the higher end, not this one). 100 series is the absolute cheapest they have. It's literally a fucking GIO.
ibanez.fandom.com
Thanks, I read the same too, K stands for 10% tolerance and J for 5% tolerance. Why does it not matter for a guitar, if I may ask?
Listen mate. There is good ibanez. And then there is bad ibanez. The SA160 is bad ibanez.
You'd have more fun with a squire.
>$250 amp
>+guitar is $600 so the guitar is $350
$50 off MSRP for a decade old chinese guitar? Wow man great deal there.
It would sell in a pawn shop for about $200 and they'd give you maybe $75 for it. Just letting you know what the future holds.
It's not a highly speciliazed circuit and you probably won't notice a difference anyways. Unless you put 2 side by side, one -10% and one +10%. Most of the time they're pretty spot on anyways.
ok
headstock says made in Korea.
What's a GIO?
ok, looks like I'm still going to be searching then. No prob. I've only played for like a year or so.
that just means it's at least 14 years old
$350 for a guitar that sold for $400 14 years ago. yikes. someone has it out for you.
Alright, thanks again.
lol
ok looking more on Kijiji now... i shall return
>tips fedora
Then it's an even older one, we're talking 2000-2004. Korean built was not a stamp of approval back then.
GIO is the entry tier Ibanez range of guitars, the kind that clueless parents buy for their kids. They're shit, the Yamaha you posted is probably a better guitar than this is.
autism metal sucks so much
you have no taste if you don't practice metal riffs with a clean tone and a fuckload of reverb
>The Slayers - Angel of Wipeouts
kek, then that's a good thing I didn't fuck myself by purchasing it.
The orange amp someone suggested to me doesn't shit to Cuckada. Any other amp suggestions, people?
Or maybe I should just go to a store...
What should an average practice session consist of at the very least?
Message the seller and ask them if they'll ship to Canada.
How do I git gud at Tom Misch sort of finger style? I just want to be mellow and jazzy
First off, what the fuck are you doing looking at shit online? Go to a store. Hold the instrument, play it a bit. If you're afraid of sucking, ask for a headset to test it with.
If you're looking at used, any reputable store will have a used gear corner.
i'm the beginner asking about the Ibanez
but what I do is 10min or so of chords and transitioning between them
Then 20min minimum practicing the song I'm trying to learn... which is Floods at the moment.
Do you want to sound like this
youtube.com
Or like this
youtube.com
is the question. also, beware the music store meme. you can end up overpaying or getting something you don't want because of the limitations of their stock if you're feeling pressured or impatient. it's not a car, a visual inspection will do you more good than a test drive (guitars will often sound like trash off the shelf due to setup issues)
that orange amp sounds like ass
brrraaaapp
What if you're an ass man?
youtu.be
backwards af
20 min technique (chord transitions, scales with metronome and correct hand position, picking technique, etc)
10 min song practice
10 min break/hand stretching
20 min technique
10 min song practice
then an hour of learning your theory and sight reading practice

I feel like I've seen this pic before in an Yea Forums thread months ago
Should I buy a surf green squier affinty? Too poor to buy the fender version which is 800 bucks. I've currently got a vintage modified jazzmaster that plays really well but have heard mixed things about the bullets and affinitys
Why would you get a guitar that's significantly worse than your first guitar
I shitposted about buying the Sayo guitar for cheap when S2 was airing
I want a surf green strat?
Sounds dumb. Especially since it's an Affinity we're talking about.
>kramer poster is back
Squiers aren't all that bad dude play more
in my heart he never left
Yeah, their VM and CV line aren't all that bad.
The new affinities are pretty nice. Avoid 90s/early 2000s affinities though. Those were total pieces of shit.
You can get a affinity strat from a pawnshop for 80 dollars if you have 200 dollars now save up 150 more and get a mim strat instead.
i want to play bass do i really need to buy an amp:?
yes if you want to be heard.
>i want to play bass
lol i'll just bet you do
Use to be DBZ
oogah
Yeah of course. Vox has a headphone amp for bass that you can use with headphones if you need it
holy shit I thought that was bass and I thought I liked bass
m.youtube.com
I can’t even tell which part is the bass???
You mean the tryhard twin
Sayo is the kind of girl who plays djent and calls it intellectual
Why would you not need an amp?
95% of bassists are shitty failed guitarists but the ones that are actually good make a massive difference.
Katana?
More like kakana, amIrite?
>listening to hipster dipshit music
You're buying an instrument, not a fashion statement.
you can do
bass -> preamp -> DI -> PA speaker (if you're a gay) or
bass -> interface/DI -> computer sims and impulse response (if you're a mega homogay)
you can also skip the interface/DI and sound noisy and shitty if you're retarded on top of that
amps are a lot cooler. hot girls don't care about your honky j-bass coming out of your shitty computer speakers
AT LEAST use a preamp into a bass cab, unless you're poor, or unsure that bass is your instrument
fuck off boomer
fuck, meant to quote you he's right, you know? anything labeled "indie" fucking sucks, in my experience
what do you listen to?
There is bass in that version though, in the intro it's following the kick drum

What is the point of transcribing stuff for studying it? Why do you need to write it down and look at it instead of just hearing it and playing it and analyzing it in your head? It boggles my mind.
Here it is
It trains your ears to recognize intervals with accuracy
You ordered from Stewmac?
That's part of learning it and "playing it". Writing it down isn't necessary for that.
And we have interval ear training that doesnt even require a piece of music to study.

How cheap do these effects sound? starts at 1:44 youtu.be
Yep. And gfs
It kind of looks nice in satin black. I may skip the nitro finish. I was gonna do it as practice for my upcoming purchase but fuck it. I already spent too much on this plywood squier bullet special.
What do you think?
They sound pretty good to me desu. Being to adjust the waveform is rad.
i found that malagoli makes soundhole pickups guys! beware your bachata player will come back stronger
what is that for?
What's that? A strat for the mentally challenged?
I like it. Would look better if the body was a darker blue instead of black tho
boring. I hope the guy with the Ferny comes with a rather nice guitar refinish.
I like the matte black but you need a single coil in the neck desu
otherwise it's just a meme guitar
It's mostly helpful for jazz or classical music where there's complex structure or weird ass chord substitutions
Its aluminum tape for pickguard shielding. I just bought a big piece.
This plywood bullet special anniversary is only routed for a single humbucker
>bullet
Why are you polishing a turd?
Not him, but it's a good way to learn how to work on guitars.
why you're posting a bunch of parts and pots and caps
It's one thing to use one to learn how to do setup or do fret work or whatever. It's another thing entirely to actually put money into it.

My buddy had open heart a year ago at 25 due to a birth defect, it was a rough go. Basically my best friend since he was 14, but he made it to the other side of it. The lead up and recovery were really hard, it tore him apart. Not playing guitar, not being able to have a beer with the homies, not being able to work took a big toll on him mentally. Stay strong dude, medicine is incredible these days, he could barely walk for a few weeks but he stuck with PT and was back at work in about 3 months, able to do most of the things he loved again. Stay strong, brother. The shit isn't easy but it's all temporary, you'll be back in the game in short order.

Ok. But i havent taken my trip off
Literally
>rent free
I'm not experienced at all, literally can only play 3 chords so I'm not the best to answer that. But from a begginers point of view it is really good for the price. Nowhere does it feel like they skimped out, the tone switcher thing has some really nice timbre. From brittle to warm acoustic like sounds. What's nice is it's fully featured so eventually you can upgrade parts like with any guitar. No complaints, got the violin finish and it looks pretty.
yeah, i dont even like black trannies
Ok lets make the satin nice
I agree that you don't really need to write it down. Being able to play and understand it is good enough. Whether you write it down or not you are still training your ear and developing vocabulary.
Though, if notating music is a skill you want to develop then it's a good idea to write the stuff down.
finish? soapwater or mineral spirits?
whats the longest time it took for you to learn a new song.
i've been trying to learn how to cover smiths but marr's guitar is fucking my boyhole.

Soapwater and 1500 grit paper to make the black milky and satin.

Is anyone here able to listen a piece of music and tell me if it's sang in chest or mixed voice? pls.
theres some good stuff
He paid for that spot lol these days you have to pay for the those pages to repost your videos and that’s not even mentioning how most of the views and likes are artificial because of the problem with bot accounts.

Are you aware that guitar companies have r and d departments to make them look nice and get people to wanna play them?
I have a good guitar I want another one that I won't be afraid to get beat up a little and that's nice to look at which is why I want a surf green strat I'm simply asking what my options are
>won't be afraid to get beat up a little
resell? not worth
I just want to say. I don't know where your at, but I would recommend any musician get a library card, so many books and things available*
I don't sell my gear and I'm planning on using it for live shows
Mehh thats it for now.
I wrote a song to roast my friend. Played on a rogue starter 45 dollar guitar.
Go buy clothes
Just suck his cock already
But it will play like shit it's a fucking squire
youre a regular leo fender, cant play for shit but you can sure polish a turd
ALL OF /GG/ SHOUKD BUY ANNIVERSARY SQUIER BULLETS AND TURD POLISH THEM SO WE CAN ARGUE ABOUT THAT. not sam hes too poor
Nah, I just make fun of his brother and how his dad shot himself.
pickup ring kills it
Gold hardware sucks though
Ever notice that when you're around lower level guitar players they like to undermine certain skills you have, seemingly out of jealousy? I have one friend that WILL NOT let me play with him without a tuner, will literally refuse to play with me until I use a tuner to tune my guitar. I have been playing guitar for 12 years of my life, I can fucking tune my guitar by ear.
You can tell how many people actually play guitar vs people who just but expensive gear from comments like this
Squires made now aren't the shhity squires from the 90s most are decent guitars for the price and can be adjusted to make them play better
Are you retarded?
I like to play on a fucking rogue starter with action that you couldn't barre and I still would never own a squire.
You just made my point for me you're just hung up on some Boomer branding nonsense
unless you have perfect pitch and your low E is exactly 82.41Hz everytime you should be in the habit to tuning with an actual tuner so everyone else in the band is tuned to the same exact thing everytime
do you think keyboard players tune their keyboards to the guitarist?
My first guitar was a $200 Squier Strat bought new around 1997. It actually played really really well.
Ever since I played one when I was 16 and felt what a piece of absolute shit it was I've never even considered that trash. Just get a real guitar used.
What do you suggest?
It goes perfect with my meme machine. Lets see your hardware.
>What do you suggest?
No ring
This is my 45 dollar guitar
>Playing power chords by laying my fingers across the strings hurts my wrist
>fret them with three fingers
>harder but no pain and easier to transition to actual chords
Which is the right way?
live with the pain
Get a job and then a yammy. If not a new nut and bridge. Enjoy your guitar either way.
Squire isn't all good. The classic vibes got worse and supposedly an early batch of the contemporary jazzmasters had poorly cut nuts and open string buzz. Also the pickups on those sound like dogshit.
If you tell china to give you QC worthy of a $350 guitar that's what they give you.
i wanna buy more guitar pedals
Get a job?
ew
buy an interface and download an amp sim. you can have infinite pedals.
or just build them.
or get/make a user-programmable digital effects pedal.
just don't fuel the pedal industry, it's time it died and i am getting really sick of all the quirky indie shit and snake oil mojo tone babble.
You know if you get a job for like 6 months you can save up buy nice stuff and then enjoy it as a neet.
There's some hairline cracks I'd like to fix on my guitar body. Does this method work?
youtube.com
Same, tried many things but my left hand still hurts often. I think it's the neck profile at this point.
It's worse on curved fretboards imho, i had to go from "comfy" 9.5 to 14" for actual comfort
I have the least problems chording normally on a classical guitar so I don't have to worry about muting unplayed strings so much but those aren't very metal and my right hand is properly fucked beyond being good for fingerpicking
i got a job boyo
I have one of those pacifica shitplanks and it's torture because they are designed for asian manlet hands. Slimmer nuts than squiers and even less thick on the back. I tried a D profile with 43mm spacing on a charvel recently and that felt a lot better.
Most guitars are made for manlet hands. It's so the people with normal hands can shred faster.
Anyone have any experience with Jackson Dinky-style bodies? How small are they compared to traditional Strats? I've heard the smaller size is because the body itself is thinner, with slightly more cutaway at the neck joint, as opposed to being a proportionately smaller guitar. I'm looking into getting a Charvel that happens to have a Dinky-style body, and since I'm tall and have big hands I don't want something that's going to look like a toy on me when I play it. Cheers.
you dont need the octave in power chords. just play the root and 5th
This is ugly.
I have like 4 other guitars but I like that piece of shit because it sounds unique and is really hard to play.
Like i said then. Give it a new nut and bridge.
Nah, they're perfectly good worn down plastic.
>plastic
Wew lad. Get tusq xl or bone.
But I play with moderate gain and the octave sounds good
Should I get EMGz and a randall satan so I don't have to play richer sounding chords?
Should I return my strat and get a telecaster instead.
no. the tele is a godawful uncomfortable body shape.
>21 frets
why do fender players do this
shouldn't 22 be the standard?
Return your strat and get an HH charvel
Return your strat and get an ESP Snapper
can someone please explain to me if a bridge pickup is ever used on a standard strat...
if not, why not use a humbucker instead?
>lmfao if ur here pls explain yourself
First good natural finish I've ever seen
yeah
are the Big Muff reissues any good?
Yeah
piece of shit
It's a 45 dollar guitar man. Makes you work really hard to sound good.
Couldn't afford a snapper?
>I have a good guitar
No you don't. You have a budget guitar and want another even cheaper budget guitar because it "looks nice".
This is worst general on this website.
nice guitar fag. not.
when are you going to buy a snapper?
That isn't my guitar.
Only a Snapper is good enough
Yes
i've been playing for about a year and i just bought a new guitar, it's an Ibanez Gio GRG-140BN, every time i try to put it into a different tuning i need to retune every string several times since it seems to be returning to the previous note it was tuned on, is this some weird shit or was that made on purpose so it doesn't go out of tune when using the whammy bar? also is there any way i can fix it? i thought about tightening the screws on the tuners but i'll rather ask if it's a good idea or not since i don't wanna fuck anything up
