Should I take lessons to try to fix 10 years of bad playing, or should I just learn a new instrument? I'm mainly interested in writing songs.
Cameron Sullivan
we all know its you little attention starved faggot. you can turn the contrast up on images of your guitar all you want but you never left and all you do is shitpost and troll kys
You could. That'll be pretty hard to correct, probably take a year or 2 to re-learn shit. Either option will be tough.

are there any other brands who make good basses under 1000 similar to fender MIM jazz basses in tone?
I like the look of those natural/walnut ESP and Peavey basses but they're usually active and I can't find much about them and I'm also not sure if it would be retarded to buy a 'metal' bass but not play any metal.
Depends on what you consider "bad playing". What specifically do you think you need to correct?
Dylan Smith
That image is part of my culture.
Jaxson Johnson
I'm not sure. I basically have no knowledge of theory, I feel like playing tires my hands more than it should, probably due to bad technique, and any time I try to write a song, it just comes across as boring and uninspired.
Jordan Jenkins
I'm thinking of getting a thr10 for practicing. Are there any alternatives worth considering or is the thr10 pretty much the holy grail as far as bedroom amps go?
Nicholas Howard
I like my Katana 50. I know they're kind of overhyped, but being able to adjust all the effects on the computer is well worth it.
William Foster
thr10 is pretty dated now desu
fender mustang lt25
Anthony Cruz
You can sort the theory out without lessons mate, just learn the notes on the fretboard, learn scales and their positions etc
Joshua Young
me except i never try to make songs and am starting to have some basic understanding of the fretboard
Kayden Gonzalez
>tfw your "tele" weighs 2lbs more than your "Les Paul"
I've read many posts saying that the THR10s sound better than the katana's at bedroom level. Then again, I haven't done a side-by-side comparison of the two amps and I likely won't be able to do so.
>8/01/2016 >this is the last image froosh ever posted and it's from like 2014 >roman hasnt been here in 5 years So why is he telling everyone he hasn't been here in five years? What does he think he gaining by doing stupid shit like this?
Austin Ortiz
I really don't know what people hear in the Katana. This might be the worst possible tone I've heard at this price point: youtube.com/watch?v=V8B6qsLEES0
Like seriously? I tried one in person and it was muddy and thin sounding as well. The cleans are passable but anything after that is shit. You can definitely get a better solid state than this thing.

Roman owns /gg/ now and forever. There has never been a legitimate challenger to the throne and there never will be. When you come here you're just playing in his sandbox full of rancid cat turds and sooner or later you will contract Toxoplasmosis (aka Kakabrain).
Dominic Turner
Am I right in my understanding that a baritone guitar (when tuned BEADF#B) is basically a standard guitar, with the high E string removed, and a B string added? Oh and an F# where a normal G string is.
I like the idea of a baritone, but I was hoping it wouldn't just be a standard guitar pushed down, if that makes sense. I'd like to still have the same chord fingerings, but just at a lower octave.

That's exactly what it is. He's spooked. I guess Jcm900fag is getting too close for comfort and now Roman's trying to convince him someone else has been doing all this shit for the last few years. I hope he gets his fucking teeth knocked out when Jcm900fag shows up at his door.

Can anyone ID the guitar Poppy is playing? It looks like a D'Angelico, but I'm not 100% convinced.

Colton Rivera
Dimebag was essentially a riff martyr.
Everyone is claiming this was a random robbery, but it's clear what was actually happening: his killers were driven to take his life solely for the sake of riffs. They wanted riffs of their own and found it in gunning down a 38-year old.
As Dimebag was taking his final breath, he was surrounded by kids stealing tabs from him. Why? For riffs. No one was taking his pulse, no one was calling 911, everyone was standing around with their chink tier pointy metal guitars out as his body was clinging to life.
The moral lesson of Dimebag's life story should be a cautionary tale of the horrors of dank nasty ass riffs and how it's fucked our society beyond belief.
I figured out the main riff of Never Meant haha :)

Whats with the shitposting lately over 22 vs 21 fret necks who cares

Even if you bought amplitube you would still spend less than you would on a new yamaha thr.
>$300 low wattage solid state amp with like a 4" speaker >costs as much as a lot of valvestate and cheaper tube heads >could get a used mini-head and 1x12 for the same price and sound better
the thr10 doesn't even have an effects loop ffs
Nathaniel Edwards
And what culture would that be? Incelhood?
Sebastian Jackson
i know right, 24 is the only correct number of frets
Incel is the worst meme of this clown world. There's no such thing as involuntary celibacy even if you have AIDS, an amputated dick, and a prolapsed rectum. It's always voluntary. It's always your fault, your choice, all you.
>Guitarist A tube screamer, a reverb pedal, and a delay pedal Combo amp or amp head with cab >"Soundscape artist" pedalboard costs more than their guitar power amp directly into the PA system

The effects being built into the software is exactly the problem. The more processing that is needed, the more latency you theoretically should have.
I've never messed around with sound interfaces before and I'm interested in hearing what your experiences are with them.

So I have been practicing every day for about 30 minutes to an hour, yet my fingers are not getting resilient enough, because they start hurting after 10 minutes of practice. Should I stop practice for a few days and start again or should I keep going? I am also thinking about asking a physician too, kek.

Henry Hall
are your fingertips hurting or is it your entire fingers if the former make sure you just stop practicing after they start hurting and they will start callousing up if the latter, you're fretting too hard
Jackson Hernandez
What I am puzzled about is that when I was a total beginner I didn't have this issue.
Strings I got are indeed new, so I will try this possibility suggested here:
Xavier Bennett
>starved for attention I like how you take things people say about you and project them on roman lol
Logan Miller
Fingertips only, so most likely will have to wait as suggested.

Do you have calluses? You need to let it build. Do you practice bends? Practicing bends on heavy gauges will give you calluses real quick.

Dylan Carter
This Mando is fun and a better stepping stone from guitar. Get a A-style instead of F-style. The A-style looks more like a lute or teardrop but sounds mostly the same. Better value since it doesn't have the ornate carving of an F-style.
Jose Brown
That's why guitar stores are stocked with their product.

Brody Collins

Blake Barnes
I wonder what the sound difference is between the TX and the T
Kayden Anderson
Bass buying help pls.
Should I start bass with active or passive? I don't really understand the need for active with an amp. Can you play an active bass as passive/does it sound good?
I'm deciding between a Fender Player Jazz bass or this one and idk which to pick and why.
EMG X series have slightly lower output on average but much greater range if you play with the tone knob
Ian Adams
I'd probably lean towards the Fender for simplicity sake but the Player is kind of shit since it only comes in a cardboard box with no case. I'd go for a used MIJ one, I've seen them for $500 with a case and they're generally high quality.
Michael White
Yeah that's what I was thinking but desu I find all of the players to look so fucking ugly and the look of the ESP is what I love most about it.
I'm not sure which used MIJ to consider and I'm in UK so market isnt that huge on reverb?
Jack Cook
probably a stupid question but google doesn't give me any results. is there a resource where I can pay a person to do a fingerstyle arrangement of a song by ear?
Elijah Gutierrez
does anyone know anyone good alternatives to a thinline tele with 24 frets and good upper fret access? I'm looking for a good versatile semi hollow and I think a thinline tele is the best bet
Landon Mitchell
fiver.com
William Peterson
Holy shit calm down daddy is back i was just busy. IM GONNA FINISH THIS TURD TODAY
Import straight from Japan, the shipping rate is reasonable or at least it is for me. The ESP is probably fine, if you like it then go for it. For the MIJ models they're mostly vintage spec/reissues from Japan.. its good if you are familiar with the neck shape. They also have stuff like the Aerodyne models which are unique to MIJ.
yeah next step is load off that pos at fleabay and craiglist
Gavin Morris
Your fear of is palpable.
Ayden Watson
damn that bass is so fucking sexy, shame about those inlays
Hudson Cook

David Diaz
>Can you play an active bass as passive/does it sound good? Some actives have a passive mode toggle, look through specs to find out.
Generally any bass type would do as a start but you can't go wrong with passives, can't vouch for jazz basses but I had a cheap PJ for 10 years now and it was pretty great. I like precisions better personally and I think you can't go wrong with them but it's a matter of taste mostly. If you mostly do heavy music actives might give you a better tone there. And if you really do like the looks and how it feels, especially the neck, absolutely go for it. ESPs are fine in terms of bass guitars, I don't think you can go wrong with them.
Passives in my experience mostly sound similarly good no matter the bass. With actives you're better off listening to them in person, really depends on what you play. Just yesterday got myself a bass with EMG35j's in it and it's everything I want out of bass sound right now. Fell in love with it right away.
Alexander White

Angel Lee
yea the problem is whenever i find one that i like i'm like "okay but there are like 3000 more i could try that could be even better!" my autism is killing me.
I'm not sure what I'd like to play right now. Originally just looking at a passive J bass as it seems to be said that it's versatile and "the" bass to go with when you think of bass.
ESPs look lovely but it's mainly the style and the fact that its wood grain, I can only get that on a fender bass at £1000+. I assume the necks feel comparable, I have nowhere near where I can try an ESP neck.
I'd be weary of this incase I need to pay for returns if it's fucked up and I don't know how much import duty I'd have to pay at all. Which stores in Japan should I be importing from or specific models?
I did see the all black aerodyne on fenders UK website but even then it's £1000+. Really wanted to max budget at around £600.
Liam Thompson
Looking for an amp. I like clean sounds. I was thinking the Champion 40. The Champion 100 looks too.
up to 1000€ i'd say the problem is just that it's almost impossible to pick one because there are many great guitars. i just have this enormous fear of regretting my purchase after i find something better.
Christian Hughes
Go try some out.
Wyatt Taylor
You should be fine. Japan has a ridiculously strict customer service standard and almost anywhere you buy from has a 60 day return window. Import duties can be greatly reduced if you ask them to lower the invoice amount. I would just go on Reverb and look at the Japanese sellers, seriously they don't fuck around when it comes to selling guitars. I've always gotten great stuff from there.
Brayden Evans
i've tried over 200 at this point
Ayden Ward
A $300 one is "fine" but if you have like $600-1000 budget you should aim at better feel rather than sound. Don't order online, up from this point it's mostly a playability upgrade for you, you should try them out in a store before spending money. I have a kind of a similar situation right now >had the same $700 guitar for 7 years now >want to try out something else, maybe get a second one >everything I try in a store doesn't really justify the price >either less comfortable than mine or the sound isn't all that much better >realize the only "upgrade" I can get is a guitar 2-3 times more expensive than mine, otherwise I can just buy new pickups/hardware for my current one and be done with it >come home, take my guitar in my hands, realize how much I actually love it I thought about sidegrading with something entirely different but other than that I think if it ain't broke no reason to fix it.
Jackson Taylor

Anthony Reed
Thoughts on Guild basses?
Wyatt Lee
Hello jcum, why are you desperately trying to ignore this ? What about this bothers you?
For £600 there's still a lot of wiggle room in terms of tone, especially if you're not afraid of buying used. If you can visit a store to get an idea of how different types of pickups sound you should do that to at least know if it's your thing.
Samuel Cooper
>he actually admitted he doesn't want to play anymore LOL
Carter Moore
Im soldering foo. Ill play some on the squier when i finish it. Happy?

Funnily enough I was considering the Champion 100 as well because it had an effects loop and some nice effects built in

I know how they sound and I like both a lot, I don’t have a preference yet.
Robert Diaz
Post some improvised jazz without a backing track or forever be known as the posterboy butthurt faggot in /gg/ who talked a bunch of shit he couldn't back up when it came time to put up or shut up. And do it within the next 20 minutes so we all know it's fresh and original.
Jason Cruz
Now thats a nice looking bass
Nolan Gomez
Bass players and, by extension, bass gear don't matter
we need the arbiter jcum is trying to buy time pretending he will do it later when he working on it now to try to save face
Jordan Barnes
I know what i like. My dilemma is that it's difficult for me to single out a single guitar and go for that one. And when i thing about how i could potentially find something even nicer i put off the purchase. This is because i just don't have much experience with buying a good instrument. When i bought my last guitar i was 17 and i liked les paul so i got a VGS les paul, and only later did i realize that it was a literal fucking brick that was so heavy that it cut off the blood circulation to my leg whenever i played with it resting on my lap. >Do you prefer single coils or humbucker or want both? To be honest i'm mostly looking at telecasters and other single coil guitars. I also recently tried out some SSS strats and i liked some of those a lot as well. In the back of my mind i always remind myself that i also really like the aesthetics of a semi-acoustic ES model like that classic Gibson one, but like i said that has more of an aesthetic appeal and i haven't actually played any. To be honest, i also really want to try out pic related because i love Deerhoof, but i've heard mixed things about Eastwood in general, and literally the only way for me to try out this guitar would be to order it which kind of makes it impossible.
Buying a new instrument and wanting to really min/max is suffering. By the way, it took me 3 months to buy some studio headphones, that's how indecisive i am.
Buy used, get a good deal, if you don't like it you sell it for about the same price.
Angel Torres

Hey /gg/ complete newfag here, wanted to ask where the best place to pick up a guitar online would be. Also I heard beginners should start with electric guitars because they are easier than acoustic. Is this true?
