Are low-wattage tube amps really suitable for home use? Or should I be looking at modelers?

Also, which amp should I get?

any thoughts on guitar rig 5

How often do people use the thumb to mute the e string? Is it an important skill to learn?
Is this something i should start to practice as a beginner?
I got smol hands and it's kinda hard ;_;. to me keeping the thumb in the middle of the neck feels more natural

if I'm understanding you, literally never. Just don't hit the string if you don't want to play it, but you can use the thumb to fret the E string for some chords. Having the thumb on the back of the neck is "good technique"

oh ok like I've seen many people do that and i thought that was something you were supposed to do. I guess muting it gives you the freedom to be less accurate while strumming

Never really used it, I don't play a lot of open chords and when I do I just try to not pick the lower E when it's not needed. My thumb is always on the neck.

I want a Telecaster man.
But there are so many Telecasters
Does anyone have some pointers for Telecasters that don't cost 2k$ and are still good?
My budget is kind of around 850$

How can I pick strings clean? I'm often sloppy and let other strings ring on lead.

nah m8, just get high school and college kids to do for "exposure". boys only ofc :]

try gently sliding a piece of tissue paper between the strings and the first fret. it will mute most if not all unwanted string noise when doing lead work, then when u return to playing rhythm just yank it out and away you go. fuck knows how you would do it reverse but its always an option (could just modify your riffs not to use any open strings). just make sure it isnt wedged in there to tightly or else it will ruin the intonation but extra pressure on the strings.

Favourite chord progressions?

I know it’s basic as fuck but for me it’s E, A, B7 with a few suspended variations thrown in on the E and the A. Can sing pretty much any folk song with these.

I'm kinda in the same boat. I really want to check out a tele but I don't really know if I actually need it. My plan was just to get the most expensive Squire I could afford (have around $500) but I'd have to order it online and I don't trust anything I can't play directly before buying.

I can also save a bit and get a Fujigen J-standard Iliad from a local shop, it's like $800 and it plays like a dream, real pretty too. But I never had a tele and I don't know if I want to commit to it like that. Maybe I should get an Affinity and call it a day.

50s Classic Laquer Tele is the closest you can get to an AVRI without spending $1500+. They're basically identical except for the thicker neck shape.

pick cleanly? you mean you miss the string and pick the adjacent ones? that can be only solved with practice.
if you mean you pick a string and others ring out, try using the very tips of your fingers of your fretting hand to mute the adjacent strings. if they're not adjacent try using your picking hand but I don't recommend that, you don't want to fix your picking hand to one place. also don't let your fingers off a string immediately after you stop playing the note, just release the pressure off of it so it's not fretted but keep touching the string.
also if you have a floating bridge that might cause other strings to vibrate sympathetically, so fix the bridge or dampen it with something.

I bet this guitar sounds horrible

EMGs have the best cleans. This is a fact. The SA and 58 were originally intended for jazz players. They have a shitload of frequency response and dynamic range to begin with, and their new preamp just gives them more.

And then you turn the gain up and it all disappears. Now you sound like metallica. Good going.

There is literally a song about how good it sounds

Build quality, materials quality, how "fine" the quality control filter is, etc

With a cheap guitar you'll get wobbly tuners, soft fret material, visible defects in the wood grain, obvious multi-piece bodies, thick coats of paint, thin low quality veneers or photo-flame, and pickups wound with wire that isn't anywhere near being pure copper. The more you spend the less of that shit you get.

Oh shit, thanks anons. :) I think I’ll spend the extra money and get the RG.

$200 is two days of low skill first world labor.

If you're buying a retail product then it either costs the manufacturer that much more to make the product, source the materials, or get the product to a shelf. Or maybe guitards are willing to pay the extra for nothing.

not bad, not jcum at all

Go out and play, there's only one way to cut your teeth.

Of course, if it wasn't similar to something else they wouldn't mass produce it.

Japanese are risk averse businessman on the level of an established American company (that may never do anything new, ever, for fear of losing their brand image) except they follow the inverse pattern. Americans start their businesses doing their own thing and stagnate. Japs start off making cheap clones for guaranteed profits and then slowly start to open up and be creative.

do not refinish a guitar unless you are sanding it down to bare wood. excessive layers of finish will make the guitar resonate less and change how the wood dampens the vibrations of the strings. it's generally accepted that you want as little paint as possible for the most sustain and a fuller sound, and that a porous finish like nitro is preferred because it allows the wood to age sometime within your lifetime if it wasn't properly dried to begin with.

what a string is suspended between will change the way it vibrates, it's a fact of physics.

You really need to learn another picking pattern. Girl From the North Country is a nice one.

snake oil

Nice, thanks.

Well I haven't really seen this one around so I have no idea what it's based on. As far as japanese guitars go they do like to make some weird shapes for their internal market, just look at Fernandes models.

Stfu dumbass

the difference is small but real and anyone who says otherwise is tone deaf, using too much distortion and playing like shit, or a poorfag who is mad that money can buy you a slightly nicer guitar

again it's physics. if you want to test the most obvious version of this principle try suspending a string between two chunks of pine and two chunks of plastic with identical tension and plucking it. i'd go as far as saying that fret, nut, and bridge material and attachment have a dramatic and underrated effect on a guitar's tone.

It only applies to acoustic and (kind of) hollow electrics. Semi and solids it makes no difference.

wood curing is more important than which species of tree by the way

mate the whole point is that the stuff your strings are vibrating between matters and soaking it in shitty paint is going to change how it dampens vibrations and further arrest the aging process

just listen to us boomers and get a good guitar made of one good piece of wood with lacquer instead of urethane and hold onto it for ten years instead of buying a new one every ten months. if you're afraid of breaking it get a fender so you can replace the neck. you'll sound better for a variety of reasons.

no

It does matter...on acoustics. The only reason Nitro still exists on electrics is because it checks and gives a vintage look.

Why not

it matters on everything

Well, you're entitled to believe that.

mahogany is awesome but like a dense sponge. That's why gibby mad chambers theirs and kinda why boomers get hung up on lp weight.

Nah. Chips off leaving the mahogany block exposed.
Over really really long time, it will spider up due to temperature changes, but you keep your instruments in cases to avoid shit like that.
That's why Fender dips their shit in thick poly and just dusts it with nitro, to get that cracking shit that real nitro only gets if you mistreat it.

There might be a slight noticeable delay in playing, if you're not using a decent interface.
Your setup sucks, sounding as good as a guitar through an amp will cost you more
It's easier to carry around and setup an amp, a cab and some pedals. Probably cheaper than an axefx or a kemper, too.
You might feel that analog gear reacts differently

What do you want to play?

not at all with the money i spend in 1 Standard i can buy 3 tributes easily

or 2 tributes and 1 made of a rare tonewood like an ash body les paul.

well if your soldering produces sound something isnt right.

Because it's different for every fucking guitar

Fuck you

>tour guitars tend to get crusty
I've been thinking about this a lot
I don't want my nice guitar to get fucked up, but I also don't want to take my cheap shitty guitar everywhere
Everything is difficult

You'll never tour so you'll be ok.

Also, never tour with less than 3 guitars.

MIM fender, PRS SE, schecter korea, fucking all of ibanez, etc were basically made for that purpose

Nice enough to play, not too nice to get dinged. Also the multi-piece necks make them easy to take care of. Truss rod? Set and forget. One piece necks, especially cheaper ones, are wet noodles compared to those.

wtf man but I am in a couple weeks
I was planning on taking my nice one and the shitty one as backup
Hooboy I'm not prepared for this, huh

No, you're not. How long are you going out for?

No one cares. Why are you avting like its your band? Hes not your drummer.

just a week and a half

MIM fender is nothing but cheap one piece necks

i hope none of those are gibsons

stop by a pawn shop and grab a cheap "every genre" guitar like a generic metal HH superstrat with coil splits. you're going to need it when the other two get snapped in half.

>Not having one guitar and three necks

Do you even bolt on

Who the fuck breaks a guitar body anyways

That's not a tour, that's a roadtrip.

If he was in my band he would be playing with the band, not by himself. Are you always this depressed? It must suck to be like that.

And if you break a string mid set?

bro why you gotta neg me, 10 cities is a big deal when you've never done it before. It's not like anybody starts huge

You're doing 10 cities in a week and a half?

I mean isn't that the point of touring, go from city to city each day?

Get out of my thread negative creep and shoot yourself in the head

not that person, but 10 days 10 cities seems doable if also a bit busy

Yeah, but are you in a band that people are going to pay to see on a Tuesday?

No, it's totally doable. He's going to be tired at the end though.

>Yeah, but are you in a band that people are going to pay to see on a Tuesday?
Probably not really. We send out merch to other states and have fans asking us to visit their area every now and then, but not enough for any real pull. Fully expecting to play mostly empty shows on weekdays, hopefully some local scenes have a bit of oomph to keep a few people around to check us out. I've done the same thing in my town for newer tourers when my band was new and opening, they don't have many people there by the end of the night usually
Gotta start somewhere

Why would anyone tour anymore when the internet exists?

If you play more than 5 shows over the course of a week, in different cities, most people would call that a tour. Let user have it. Playing other cities is awesome

Money. You fucking jackass. Did you even think about it before you typed away like an idiot?

Why would anyone have a band anymore when GarageBand exists? Why would anyone play instruments anymore when virtual reality exists and you can live in there forever?

That's cool though. I can respect that. Where are you hitting?

A lot of people like doing things outside of their home instead of holing up in their rooms 24/7

because 90% of music is consumed through spotify and spotify doesn't pay artists jack

got'em

bruh you just gotta get a trillion streams, it's not hard

i like how spotify made this entire video throwing shit at apple for not "playing fair" and throughout the entire video they only mentioned fairness towards consumers and companies over and over again.
Not once did they speak about fairness towards artists.
I don't use apple devices and I'm not a fan of the company but if you ask artists on reddit AMA's where to buy their music digitally to ensure they'll get the highest cut possible they often respond apple music.

Oh, I get it. So they want to lose money paying for gas to drive around and play weeknights in venues that will only pay headliners. Then they can break even selling merch at cost or simply giving it away to suburban kids. Maybe their equipment can get stolen while they watch another band.

Either this, or a band can act like entitled little shits when they have no draw and expect to take the promoters cut. They may even trash the venue because gas and beer money are good enough.

Are you Nofx or Motley Crew?

Yes I watched The Dirt and now I'm going to live it and you can't tell me otherwise

Reminder that none of you limp-wristed plebs will ever be able to play or write anything near this good

Obscura will never have Goldschlager-tier leads again, they did him dirty

With that kind of attitude I'm gunna need you to fuk my wife while I watch.

I've got some riffs that sound kinda like Morbid Angel that I'm gunna need you to critique when you're done.

change your strings before each set, between songs even

locking tuners are good for this

also ditch the 9s

Can do, buddy
But Morbid Angel is gay, I'm gonna need some 90s-tier Cynic riffs if we wanna make this cucking a regular thing

the whole system of life+70 transferable copyright was specifically designed to fuck over artists and give the most to rights holders even after the artist has FUCKING DIED, and the rights holders (ie: sony, disney, apple) have actively lobbied to make the law this way.

just don't buy music unless the artist is the SOLE RIGHTS HOLDER. period. no other names on that copyright allowed.

And if you break a string during a set?

Ill disembowel you

stop trying to do slayer impressions

Quit trying to dodge the question.

do you think having to get a new guitar hooked up is going to interrupt your show any less

don't do things known to break strings, don't use student gauges that tend to break, and make sure your guitar body has a bridge that doesn't constantly break strings

Thinner strings don't break more often than thicker strings, since they require less tension to be tuned to the same note.
Strings will break very rarely on an adequately lubricated guitar, no matter the gauge.

Burrs will wear through them faster which is why they usually snap in the first place

Get a squier contemporary tele off sweetwater already setup for 350. Test the intonation and action and see if it need a setup. At most you be in 350-400 after a possible setup. Or a squier standard tele for 250.

I may not play guitar anymore but I have a cute and loving cat

My strings usually break over a fret. On the acoustic, at least. On electrics it's mostly on the bridge.

But you (assuming you're the person I originally posed the question to and not someone that just butted in) didn't say that. You said one body and 3 necks.

yeah, in case your guitar gets knocked over. you won't break a string unless your guitar is shit and you're a retard.

in 10 years of playing, plus my dad's 40 years of playing, neither of us have ever broken a string on our own guitars.

pickguard?

Bedroom warriors rarely break strings. Live in stage is a different animal.

It's something gay people put on guitars.

>no broken strings
>play guitar at a bar
>no broken strings
>play guitar on a stage
>guitar is now magically a piece of shit and player now goes hammy on the whammy until they break at least two strings a set

There's no pickguard on that Charvel though

>Burrs will wear through them faster
You have no fucking idea what you're doing if your guitar has burrs to begin with. Learn how to take care of your shit like an adult.
>My strings usually break over a fret.
Your frets need polishing.
>On electrics it's mostly on the bridge.
Your bridge needs lubrication and possibly burr removal.
String gauge will not affect string breakage rate on a well-maintained guitar.

I’ve never broken a string and I play live generally twice a week.

Hate strat tones. They exist in some weird dimension between plasticky and vomit inducing round chimes

Don't waste your energy hating stuff user

I used to be like you. a lost retard. Next youre gonnna say actives and emgz suck.

There are only 2 types. SS and HH and of course you take the SS for a Tele.

Youre so wrong on so many levels.

nope

>hating clear slappy tones
humbuggy mush it is friendo

I was talking about the Player series. But this one is nice.

They sound great and they look great.

I think i want to build a shell pink tele with ebony fretboard.

I think I want to print a 3d funnel to catch all of my vomit.

nylon string is the only good guitar tone

everything else is an approximation of some aspect of the nylon string tone

What about my cat gut Daryl Perry?

Oh and did i mention all black hardware? ;)

t.

Single coil bridges are too twangy
Humbucker necks are too fat
And there's nothing that competes with the single coil middle sound or the pseudo-humbucker tones of positions 2 and 4 on a strat. So, the guitar should be HSS with coil splitting for the bridge enabled one click up with the bridge and middle blended.
AND, strat pot wiring is fucktarded, No tone for the bridge? Really? I'd rather have a master volume and master tone or three concentric pots for volume and tone on each pickup.

If only there were some sort of "good-er strat" that solved these problems!

>color coordination
acceptable. If you had said gold hardware and tortoise I would have cunked on my keyboard.

>pseudo-humbucker tones of positions 2 and 4 on a strat
You have no idea what youre talking about. Please fuck off in the most unkind way.

Nah black pearloid pickguard

No man I'm on to something here

I have bridge tone knob on my strat. Fuck off.

how about just black on black on black

single coil, or humbucker, what's the most patrician setup?

one of each

the allure

Middle humbucker, single bridge, no neck pickup

Whichever setup you use fully

neck EMG SA-X (or HA-X if your guitar was routed for the turbopleb setup)
bridge EMG 58X

Attached: Capture.jpg (293x399, 12K)

Single tele bridge only, I use it for everything from cleans to distortion these days
Also based, the only useful strat tone

It would be perfect if it had a bucker in the neck and bridge but with outer coils killed .

HHH, only way to go.

Fuuuuuuuck
