what's the official loop pedal of /gg/?
I have a Ditto
I use an RC1 but I would probably guess most people use a Ditto
The loop i enjoy is the one me and your mom get into after a 18 hour binge of cocaine and booze. I just fuck her and hit her on the head as we sober up until i realize whats going on. Weird loop desu
Isn't it past your bedtime? Oh, that's right. No school tomorrow.
y'all n*ggas got some IRs?

Man, Hanneman was a fucking riff master and honestly kind of underrated. Why did he have to die and not that tryhard Kerry King?
Agreed. He was the better of the two by far.
Boomerang III Phrase Sampler, more compact, can loop more loops, and is cheaper than the big Boss one
was guy who said dubs chooses song I learn. Will record on phone
Kerry's an asshole
How do I learn THE FUNK
He was always the second fiddle. No wonder he's bitter. Jeff wrote nearly all of the classic songs/riffs. He was Slayer.
You have to be baptized in it
>Guy with talent
>ESP
>Guy with no talent
>BC Rich
do the stereotypes write themselves?
Couldn't agree more and I think most Slayer fans know it. It's a shame that rather than be respectful Kerry has to talk shit like some petulant 14 year old in a YouTube comments section.

From what I can tell most good funk players have a jazz background and there's a lot of resources for that so I'd say start there.
How do I understand this intro's timing and get it right

Kill yourself
Where do I start
What kind of resources
Check out the Ammoon Stereo Looper. It appears to be essentially a knockoff of the EHX 720. There have been some reliability issues reported on Amazon, but if you get a good one you'll have a badass looper for $80
Midi pick-ups seem like a lame gimmicky thing to me, but this is pretty cool
youtube.com
This should get you started
youtube.com
Also this for learning good practice habits
youtube.com
This guys channel is good too

I'm on mobile internet, can't watch YouTube
ditto is fantastic for what it is.It's a very cheap and minimal answer. If you need features and tricky saving of more than one loop, it's not for you.
Look in the mega link in the OP and get the 4 Berklee Harmony PDFs under the theory tag
They're just general theory knowledge rather than guitar specific, but they're well written and concise.
Under the playing tag check out The Beginners Guide to Jazz Guitar and Mickey Baker's Jazz guitar. I haven't read them, but skimming through they look like what you need.
Thanks
Now answer this
>This is how I play it
>Doesn't play it.
And how's that relevant for that purpose?
>it's another episode of user tries to actually talk about music and gets shitposted
Ok, but I'll do my best, but I think he's not really playing strictly in time so if your goal is to play along and match him exactly you're going to have a rough time.
I'm confused as to whether or not my playing has gotten worse or I've just become more self-aware as to how bad I am when it comes to more and more complex songs, especially with improvising
Here's a recent sample of me when I'm really in the groove and doing well, live at some dive bar, I'm the neck pickup guitar (second solo is mine, everything improvised)
vocaroo.com
>D string perfectly tuned
>first three frets are sharp 7 cents
>back to normal on 4th fret
I hate guitars
starting as a complete beginner how long do you think it would take until I could play this comfortably including learning what I need to get there?
assuming you mean "i've never picked up a guitar until today" beginner, i'd say about a week or so
my friend has been playing for 4 years and he still can't do barre chords
i've been playing for nine months and i can, plus bass primarily
it all depends on how much time and effort you put into it
if you're like me, you can probably do it in six months
now answer my query
yeah I do mean that and thanks but I can't tell if you're memeing me or not since idk what any of it is
i get it will be different for different people but if i pick up a guitar today i was just wondering how long
right now i have like 3 hours every day free where I want to fill with learning bass or guitar so would my time be better spent with guitar or bass idk
Something like this I think
Now you're just being cruel to him.
you've become more self aware, which means you're expecting more talent out of yourself which in turn just makes play worse. i guess you can say you're on your way to being a professional musician, considering they hate their own work and are never satisfied
friendly reminder that only a Gibson™ is good enough
you learn bass and guitar at the same time?
and i like it but im totally inexperienced
The fuck is wrong with that? take off the two highest strings and you have the same notes in the same positions on a fretboard that works exactly the same.
Do you think it's not in time at a weird measure?
You should hate being a poorfag that can't afford a tech
nothing I'm just asking
so I should buy both and learn both if I want to learn both eventually anyway or just focus on one to start with?

Are you saying that asking me to read sheet is cruelty?
Asking the average guitar player to read sheet music is indeed cruel and unjust punishment.
I'm not average. I'm ABOVE average.
It is a pretty tough rhythm to read.
I tried to draw how you should count it
"1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and" while counting eight notes
and "1 e and a 2 e and a 3 e and a 4 e and a" to figure out where the sixteenths go
But the 'e' won't line up with any notes for the triplets so just don't say it there.
Blue lines are quarter notes, your basic 1 2 3 4
I think the + of the 3rd beat is a little late in the second measure, but somehow the 1st beat of the 3rd measure is right where it should be?
Don't take this as fact, I'm not entirely sure of the accuracy.
It's not an insult, sheet music is inefficient for guitar because it was designed for a musical traditions where note duplication is mostly absent and sight reading unfamiliar pieces is standard. Lute players have been using tabs since the instrument's inception.
However a lot of tabs are shit and there's no standard notation for representing rhythm, and how you read music colors your understanding of it (shapes vs. voices)
Get a dean instead
It's worth it
Pic related its me
Super low energy
I haven't read tabs in years
I once read a short book on sheet music but didn't practice reading for more than a couple days
It helped me pay more attention to time figures tho

Post gibsontranny anathema
friendly reminder that the guitar you use only contributes like 1% to the quality of your music.
Amps and pedals are something like 10% depending on how you use them, but still aren't required to make good music.
Nah that ain’t it chief
considering brazillians with literal junk held together haphazardly with wood screws that make he who shall not be named look rich are making better music than gearheads like chapman
yes
What are some good cheap non-Fender/Squire strats and teles? G&L seems to be pretty good for its price, what about Sterling or Chapman?
Yeah I'm probably giving pedals and amps too much credit.
Bump them down to 5%
Don't buy a strat or tele that's not fender, G&L, or parts-built
Out of principle
>Amps and pedals are something like 10%
99% if you play shoegaze post-noise guitar ambient
I mean the sound kind of defines the genre, but if you get the cheapest versions of all the staple effects I bet you could still make something good.

Fuck off faggot. I can smell your incel desperation from here.
Did you mean Samuel?
So I've been playing for about 3 years now, and I'm just realising one of the (pretty simple) flaws in my playing which keeps holding me back
I've noticed that I never bothered to wrap my thumb over the top for bass notes. If I play an open 7th chord shape (B7 at 1st fret, C7 at 2nd, D7 at 4th etc.) I always just missed out the bass note. Makes it clearer why my open E7 would sound great compared to the others, because the open E as the bass note harmonised.
I have no problem reaching the B string to accent barred 7th chords
This makes me think it's a habit I never learned as opposed to having small hands.
I actually first learned on my sister's old classical so maybe that's why.
Any tips for getting out of this? Just practiced for a while, was uncomfy but I was slowly getting it and it obviously sounded so much better
you put strings and an old telecaster pickup on a fucking shovel and you learn how to play slide guitar
okay i'll need those names because i have no fucking idea what are you talking about
Using your thumb to fret is not considered a good or necessary technique. You only need your four fingers to play guitar.
>Any tips for getting out of this? Just practiced for a while, was uncomfy but I was slowly getting it and it obviously sounded so much better
What do you think anyone will say
Lol, as bitter as you are, this is true.
He is pretty cringe, it's like watching someone's dad. Hopefully with the end of boomerism people will become less obsessed with the appearance or "coolness" of instruments
Why not? I don't really have any brand loyalty when it comes to guitars.
That was dumb, admittedly
But if I specifically want to play those inversions I would have to... so
Electric
Some of them are pretty nice (albeit none of the gibsons, which all look and sound like the same old cheap epiphone even if the tag says "mint 59 vintage")
But the cheaper equivalents have 90% of the sound and the missing 10% is the fancy boutique pickups
>im not improving at guitar because i haven't been using my thumb to fret bass notes
you actually typed out that entire thing
You do need thumb for some chords or songs. A/E chord for example when guitar tuned to drop D or the bass line in Angie by Davy Graham.
expensive guitars are a mind game. you play better on them or think you do because you want it to be worth the price, and then you say "this guitar sounds better". the nicer finish and name brand headstock without any cheap copouts like "mexico" on the back just help you maintain the illusion.
and if you have disdain for an expensive guitar it will sound and play bad to you. it's all a mind game.
What?? Who looks like watching a dad? The Brazilian?
Am I in the majority or minority of casuals here if I don't give a single shit about gear as long as I can play? I'm not producing jack shit, so why should I care?
No, Chapman (I assume that's who user meant)
It holds me back by me not being satisfied when I play those inversions. It doesn't stop me from improving anything else. You seem to be struggling here pal
The cool people who were here for playing left a long time ago. This general is literally /guitar product consumers general/ and has nothing to do with making music
It worked out for Friedman so I guess that approach to gear works if you play well.
pure reddit
>every 10 posts is someone declaring that gear is bullshit
/anti-consumer hipsters with $500 guitars and iphones general/
Yea seems about right. Anytime I come here it's overwhelmingly like that.
Then, as mu is already the most cynical, pretentious fucking board on this site, the whole thing becomes unbearable
Somewhat true but also mostly for internet shopping. I've come to realize that I don't really care how the guitar sounds like as long as it sounds like a guitar of its type, the feel of it and how it plays is what you pay for, and sometimes it is worth the money. I do think it has its ceiling and diminishing returns apply but I haven't tried a lot of really high end stuff so I can't really judge. I found that my personal niche is always $800-1500, anything more rarely feels that much better.
let's take your B7 example. in the vocaroo below, i first play it in the first position. then, i add your "bass" note with my thumb, in this case it's the F# on the E string (so the second fret)
now did that really make THAT much of a difference to the sound of the chord? is it worth complaining about? idk m8 i think you're complaining way too much about some innocuous technique. i very rarely see anyone use their thumb to fret chords and it's really just a flashy parlor trick most of the times
it's definitely not holding you back the way you think it is
Not really a guitar question, but a lot of you play jazz fusion I'm sure
How the fuck do the band keep time with (what seems to me) so many signature changes? Pretty infantile understanding of this kind of music so I'd love to hear
Most fusion players are really fucking good musicians. That's why they can handle odd signatures and tempo shifts in rapid succession.
Thanks for going to that effort, tbf, that's cool.
I do think it sounds much richer, especially if you were to be strumming it as part of a rhythm section. The only time I notice this stuff is having a casual little play along of a song to be honest. And in that scenario, it sounds out of place to go from a chord inversion with a bass note to one without. You're right that in other situations it doesn't really matter.
no kidding
You asked how, you got an answer.
>why yes, I play acoustic fingerstyle
sure man, always happy to help
So do I and I’m a fat slob with my balls hanging out of my boxer shorts.
Not trying to big dick here, but the difficulty of odd time signatures is over hyped.
Usually you just break it into digestible units 7/8 -> 2+2+3 or 3+2+2 for example.
Any polyrhythm more complex than a 3:4 is hell though.
If you learn this indian rhythmic solfege and write a bunch of random x/8 time signatures I bet you could perform it within an hour of practice youtube.com
Not that it's how these guys do it exactly, but its the same concept.
And Who did he mean by Brazilian
>now did that really make THAT much of a difference to the sound of the chord? is it worth complaining about?
Lazy loser talk spotted
If you like that sound and think it's worth it, work and keep practicing to get it down

He made it clear that he didn't think the thumb and bass notes were holding his guitar improvement back. He admitted he was just complaining that he can't skip practicing and get instantly good at thumb fretting.

Selling stuff, that's why he's there. I don't really judge him for not being an amazing guitarist. But he could at least learn more chords than his standard G - Cadd9 - G/B - Gmaj7 progression that he ALWAYS plays. They need to lock him in a room with an amp, a guitar, and Joe Bonamassa playing over PA for 48 hours.
He always seems kind of uncomfortable, that's what puts me off. He needs more confidence, really.
More reverb.
look at Dylan from Friendzone's (RIP) rig. This shit is insane. Why isn't he making music?
what the actual fuck. have you ever even heard smoke on the water?
No time to make music when you have that many toys to play with
such cool shit soundcloud.com
Lee's fine, he's not a great player but he's not really annoying. He's like a "normal mediocre guy" and gives that kind of opinions which can be nice sometimes. But there's really no reason for him to not actually play better and be more confident, I agree.
What amp head would you recommend to go with an Orange PPC112? My Micro Terror was doing okay until the fucker started having sparks shoot out of it.
This looks like mental disease to me or compensation.
depends on what sound you're looking for. this is a very open-ended question btw
if you liked what your micro terror sounded like then i would recommend another orange amp, except this time one that isn't $150

Watching Bach on modern stringed instruments is fascinating. I can't read sheet music and have very limited theoretical understanding, so it's so cool to be able to have it in a format where I can visually compare it to other stuff

makes sense that it would be a nightmare for guitar etc, because even though rhythmically it's straightforward, it's so intricate and so easy to hit the wrong note

I heard that when steve vai tried out for frank zappa's band, frank was like "hey steve, do you have a loggy kaka in your pants?" and steve said yes, so then frank reached into steve vai's underwear and fished around until he felt a kaka log. Then, he stretched steve vai's underwear out like an atomic wedgie and rubbed the kaka log all over steve vai's butt. steve vai has some shit all caked into his asshair and then frank asks him to play a kaka chord. well, your boy steve just grins, farts out ANOTHER kaka log and mushes it into the fretboard of his ibanez.
There was shit everywhere and it was brown butter all over frank and steve vai. Then satriani came in and diarrhead all over the floor.
i love this
Should I buy a new guitar or put a down payment on a used car?
>cant you not be a cheapskate and buy a better guitar ?
Like what?
Are those supposed to be chords?
Knowing whether they're major/minor/dim/aug is important if you want an accurate answer.
Sometimes you can borrow chords from other keys but still be in the same key. Or sometimes you can just stick your toe in another key for a couple chords
No, they're notes
How so?
Right, it's not. Fucking n!$%%#r!
Car. Sounds like you already have a guitar.
If you only have an electric and want to buy an acoustic or vice versa, then maybe consider a guitar, otherwise don't fall for the guitar jew's propoganda telling you it's worth buying multiple guitars.
I recently got my first bass, curious what you guys think about it. (the pic isn't actually mine, i'm too lazy to post an actual pic)
It's cool (the opinion isn't actually mine, i'm too lazy to post an actual opinion)
What's a good mid-budget guitar? Something versatile and that will last a long time. I want to upgrade from my old used one that goes out of tune by the end of every practice session

Woahohoho there, grumpy little fella! You sure you want to be using that sort of language on 4channel? ;^)

Then yeah, the guy who said G blues scale is right and it's a Bb not A#.
It's A# because I'm going up. #s going up, bs going down.
How do I decide between a strat, tele or jag?
Pretty fashionable, but does it match your purse and heels?
Play all 3. Pick the one you like best.
Thank you kind anons, glad to entertain!
That's not how that works. Blues scale is built on a minor 3rd.
G -> A# = Augmented 2nd
G -> Bb = Minor 3rd
It's less important here than if there were an A in the scale because every note of a scale should get its own letter name when possible, but still, Bb is the correct name for the note according to western tradition.
I'll admit, I don't know theory, but how can two exact note-to-notes have different names?
look at a piano.
The black keys are the Sharps/Flats.
Same position. Two sides of the Same coin.
Sharp or Flat depending on circumstance.
>Guitar same fret.
Anyone here have a Solar guitar?
g blues guy here
i'd explain but it involves theory so
I’ve been playing acoustic guitar for two years and I’m embarrassed to admit I don’t know a single instrumental piece.
What’s a good one to cut my teeth with? I tried Black Waterside and Angie (both Bert Jansch versions) but they’re too hard to start with.
Lmao
It's mostly about maintaining interval qualities because they represent a 'function'
C minor is built on a
Major 2nd
Minor 3rd
Perfect 4th
Perfect 5th
Minor 6th
Minor 7th
not

Why would you need a solar powered guitar?
Just buy an Ibeenhad

Lazy nigger
Starting to work on vocals
is it better to practice and get good then see a coach, or to just see them straight away
money is the concern here
also any input about steps to improve and what to focus on would be helpful
Not lazy, just don't have the proper tools and don't care.
I’ve been singing for a while and don’t see the point of vocal training unless you desperately want to extend your range.
Just learn songs you like, experiment with different keys to find ones that suit your voice (on acoustic this is where a capo is indispensable), keen practicing and don’t force yourself to hit notes you can’t comfortably achieved. Record yourself and listen out to hear what works and where you are going off-pitch.
Sure thing tyrone.
Practice first, but don't wait too long. Maybe see a teacher after a month or so. Find some warm up exercises and practice those every day. Including breath support exercises. That's likely the first thing a voice teacher would tell you to do anyway.
The benefit of seeing a teacher early would be to prevent bad habits, because it's easier to create good habits than fix bad ones, but if you're totally untrained you might just be dealing with issues that would be fixed with a little practice.
This is good advice but I feel that it can also be quite self-limiting. It can be helpful to see a vocal coach to work on simple exercises to expand your range, as it is possible to develop bad habits with your technique. For example, when I was younger I figured out a way to expand my range from bass to tenor, but my technique involved constricting my larynx which fucked up the timbre of my voice a few years down the road and now I tend to sound flat going into my tenor range. I have really good relative pitch so I can sing in key but I can also feel how bad my technique is so my singing never translates the way I'd like.
I guess I can’t say how useful vocal training would be having never had any so I’m not trying to shoot the idea down completely, just haven’t felt the need for it myself.
For my own singing I have what I think is a decent baritone voice and that despite it being the most common male voice you’ll find most male singers at open mics trying really hard to hit the high notes, which I find unpleasant most the time. I just don’t bother and hope that my singing sounds more natural for it.
I want to fuck Nancy’s brains out
who is this
Bitch looks stupid
should i upgrade my $50 guitar or my $50 amp first?
Wrong thread dude
Literal newb here
Can you run pedals through any amp (solid state or tube)?
What are the benefits of a combo amp?
Why do YouTubers use their hands to demo pedals instead of their feet?
wtf how do you even buy a guitar for 50 dollars
It probably plays like trash so get something adequate first
Usually upgrading amp is the way to go to improve sound, but you have to at least have something playable
see those dubs I am an ambassador to keep you bottom feeders in line. maybe someday with some knowledge you'll become honorary redditors.
Checked
> Yes, you can.
> A combo amp combines the pre-amp and power-amp that a traditional amp head contains, along with the speaker(s) you would find in an amp cab. All in one neat little package. Its compact.
how are the esp/ltd guitars
Is it worth buying used pedals on guitar center website?
>pedals through any amp?
Yes.
>benefits of combo amp?
See >why YouTube hands not feet?
Most pedal demos feature the guy demoing the gear messing with the pedals' EQ so you can hear how the pedals sound with different settings dialed in. It's easier to reach a pedal placed on a table at waist height than it is to repeatedly bend over whilst holding a guitar to adjust the settings or constantly have to stop the recording, change the settings, and start the recording again.
Guitar for sure. Get something that feels nice to play and you'll want to spend more time practicing.
If you can afford it the $500 range seems to be the best bang for your buck and you can get a guitar that will be worth keep your whole life if you take care of it.
A combo is the amp and speakes loaded together. There are no benifits either way, it's just peference.
squier standard/vintage modified vs yamaha pacifica 112

GUITAR IS TURNING YOU GAY
And that's a good thing
Relatively new to guitar
Question about singing during guitar.
I was learning Baby blue by king krule but when I look at archies live vs the tab for his studio stuff it's watered down quite a bit. Is it unrealistic to continue learning the studio version if I just wanna sing for family and chiccs at parties. he just changes patterns and slides quite a bit.
Apologies in advance for my noviceness
What's the deal with youtube guitarists pulling their beanies down over their faces?
Hey if you wanna be xenophobic that's fine.
why do I need two e strings on my guitar?
Real mean have four E strings
I'm currently saving up for a new guitar
I've been playing a squire strat for over a decade at this point and now that I'm getting more serious, I recognize that it doesn't sound too hot when I plug it into my interface/DAW
What do y'all recommend me looking at? I want something that has a good studio quality sound. If it's a clean jazzy sound, I want the all of the notes to ring out clearly and brightly, as well as produce a full sound. Also want something that can produce something meaty and dirty at other times.
Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way and I actually need to mic up my amp instead of going direct to the interface? Let me know what I should look into, I'm trying to get to a higher quality production value.
You don't
or you can just upgrade the whole fucking guitar at once and sell the old one to cut your losses. now it's fine to buy a nice set neck guitar that's newbie-friendly in the upper frets instead of actively hostile or just lacking them entirely
Are 24 frets necessary or is 22 enough
Depends if you're going to play songs that use 23 and 24. It's better to have too many than not enough.
unless you want optimum neck pickup placement
there is no real disadvantage to having 24 and not needing them but having 22 and needing 23 can suck
What a lot of people do is own more than one guitar because they are fucking cheap. You know those guys with tons of guns? Those guns cost more than most guitars.
>implying the difference isn't so insignificant it vanishes completely in a mix and is difficult to attribute to neck pickup placement instead of the other thousand things that affect tone
>implying it isn't personal preference either way
>place pickup under a harmonic node
>get less tone
>move it just past the harmonic node
>get more tone
24 frets = optimum neck pickup placement
Unless you put frets on the pickup
A 24 fret guitar is normally used with humbuckers in which case moving the neck pickup being closer to the bridge prevents it from getting unbearably muddy. A guitar with a single coil neck pickup should have 22 frets for the opposite reason.
why shouldnt i get a flying v
23 frettu p90?
They're featherweight and you have to always play in the classical position if sitting.
Explorer is more comfy to me.
I want a Les Paul like Slash but they're too expensive for me
I plan on playing stuff like Metallica
What kind of guitar should I get
chords are for fags
