Is metal only played on the e string?
FIRST FOR MARSHALL AMPLIFICATION
not when you play in d standard, then it's all d string
anyways here's stabwound hope the link works
i know my guitar isn't loud enough but i recorded it with my phone against my headphones, so I tried to get it loud enough to hear me, while still loud enough to hear the song, and then all the fuckery I had to do to generate it in linux on a thinkpad plz no booly
Can someone ID this bass head?
>not getting a 7 string and only using the B string
Gallien-Krueger of some sort
We know you tried but yeah the audio sucked.
>not using an 8 string and tuning it to bass tunings
black tongue did that and it's fuckin sick
srry anons I did my best, I pass the torch to someone else to post playing videos
Fuck yeah metal's rad as hell, that guy's clearly a mega chode though
Can you guys figure out what the "lead" guitar is playing in this song? youtu.be
The rythm is piss easy, but I really can't figure out what the second guitar is playing.
the EMG HA sounds great in the neck, way more dynamic than the 81, albeit less metal. and now I have a useless EMG 85.
who the hell is going to want to buy this literal and figurative hot garbage?
Are Epiphone P90's shit? Neck and bridge sounded too similar and they really drive the amp. Clean sound was a challenge through my Pignose.
I like the riff from Metallica - Free Speech for The Dumb
It goes:
|-2--------------|-----------5----|
|-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-3----|
But I also like the lyrics. For example Blue Pilled people get to say whatever they want because they don't know anything but once you get Red Pilled you can't. Then a consequence of that idea is here on Yea Forums everyone starts acting like retards since they're pretending they don't know any better.
Thanks mane

>not wielding the two greatest guitars on earth
Nice fake logo. Top notch chibson and faker strat.
Interesting, thank you!
>he's too numale to own a Gibson
>>>That ugly finish on both guitars
having to resort to such a low tactic of calling them fake really proves how butt-hurt you are.
That extreme break angle over the bridge you have going on there is terrible for tuning stability and string breakage at the bridge.
If you want to screw down the tailpiece all the way like that for sustain, top-wrap that shit.
You know what fuck it. I planned on mocking you but I'm talking to a guy with patrician taste. LP and Strat combo is the bread and butter of rock.
>the feel when poor
but i still want one, i guess i´m subdued to your metal conditioning user.
Is this chord progression comfy?
i raised the bridge a few turns when i first changed the strings on it after purchasing it. i've yet to have a string break on me, but i have considered doing that bonamassa wrap
amen brother, keep fighting the good fight
like the riffing, hate the quality of sound
Top-wrapping accomplishes a couple of really great things:
- Allows you to increase sustain by screwing the tailpiece all the way down up against the body of the guitar without increasing the break angle too much;
- Moves the little wound section at the ball end of the string away from the edge/lip of the tailpiece, preventing friction from unwinding the string, which is a thing that can happen whenever you have that little wound section up against a lip/edge of something, especially if you bend strings frequently.
I bend strings constantly so top-wrapping is essentially mandatory for me on any tune-o-matic if I don't want the unwound strings becoming... unwound... at the ball end. Yes, that was an awkward sentence.
Thanks here's my amp settings
Gain: 10
Channel: high gain
bass: 10
mids: 0
treble: 11
presence: max
metal zone settings: gain on max other knobs turned randomly
sounds nifty and all, but i really don't do much string bends to begin with, maybe some vibrato since it doesn't have a trem arm or anything. i just can't justify scratching up the tailpiece with the strings, or adjusting the bridge to 'massa wrap
>i just can't justify scratching up the tailpiece with the strings
Just do it with a replacement tailpiece then if you're worried about resale value.
OOH MASSA
i'm not worried about resale value, i don't intend to sell it. i just want to keep it looking nice and clean and fresh as long as possible. y'know, because i care for my instruments, you DO care for your instruments, right user?
Yes.
Scratches on a top-wrapped tailpiece will typically be hidden underneath the strings themselves.

Yes.

Dude they are color coded
they were definitely not color coded. size and packet differentiated which was which. I just got distracted
Only shit D'Addarios
why are your strings so loose?
anything from forever changes would be a start
They resemble my mum's hole
Christ how can one guitar design have so many problems
Don't most non-gibsons with TOM bridges just stick the strings straight through the body keeping an ideal angle? The same ones that have less extreme headstock angles, useful volutes if any, and A/D/G/B tuners more in line with the nut slots. You know, those ones.
STOP USING TABS.
They also say the gauge size on the little packets. Also get locking tuners they make string changes so quick its crazy. Some. people say it helps tuning stability but I have noticed and real difference on my telecaster since they never go out of tune anyway.
Fuck this way of thinking. Use everything at your disposal.

That's me playing through the podfarm still kek, didn't have axe fx at the time
Wish I had the video still of me playing cannibal corpse red before black on my semi hollow tele desu
Post playing videos we want to know what it sounds like plz
That's the power of a demo version of podfarm, don't be too jealous now or my poorness will rub off on you
both our bassist and rhythm guitarist are talentless hacks so me (lead guitar), the drummer, and the singer are playing all their parts for them during recording. they stopped showing up to sessions since they end up sitting around smoking pot the whole time anyways. should we just make it official and kick them out?
poor/10
well do they contribute in general? Write parts? Play okay live, just not the 100% clean you need in studio?
Kinda same situation, rhythm and bass in my band record at least 50% of their parts and I get the parts they can't. Would be a lot faster if they just let me do everything, but they're still good as members in general. I'm pretty sure tons of pro bands just have one guy doing most of the tracking anyway
Comfy as fuck, I've played a fuckload of Amps and nothing comes close to the fieldvalue of the 333XL, if they still made them I'd buy one. Seriously it's pretty hard to find a 3 channel high gain amp with dedicated fx loop for that price, and since they're Marshall clones they're versatile as fuck. I rate a 8/10 on the, cool on a budget scale. 10/10 if you can remove the line 6 faceplate
I've been playing for like 20 years and still get stressed out changing strings kek. It's a pain
You're right, fuck writing down anything ever. Or even knowing how to read for that matter
you should be able to learn a part by ear anyways
Nah, just make it explicitly clear that they wont get paid the same as everyone who's tracking their parts, assuming y'all are making any money. If they have a problem with that but don't track, boot em, in the meantime just fuck em over money wise, and start looking for suitable replacements behind their back. Sounds fucked but at the end of the day, a band is a job. When you get as famous as jackson brah everyone will understand.
Overrated skill if you're never doing covers. Case in point: Nik nocturnal or whatever that dudes name is, knocking out extremely good covers in a day or two after songs released but really hasn't produced anything interesting of his own.
>getting paid
that's not a thing that happens until you're regularly touring the country, and a lot of the times not even then
Everything always goes back into band expenses

no i still make money just fine

Boy howdy that sure gobbled my giblets I tell ya
Not enough to drop guitar and become a bassist though, am I right fellas
The 333xl is a jsx clone you dumbfuck. I have one so i know.
cover bands and playing background music to old people doesn't count, that's just a job like any other
uh, maybe in your band, but for one of my old ones only 2 of us wrote or recorded anything, so if we got $100 for the night, it went 30/30/20/20. Other 5 piece we all collaborated pretty evenly so whatever we got paid we'd split. Do you just gig for free or something? lmao.
fugg thats what i meant, I had one when they were new from like 2009-2011 or so. sorry I just woke up from a nap.
kek just start prodding people about it "yeah that bass.....pretty badass honestly......oh you loved it? Oh I bet.....yea me too.....
nah we usually make around 500 a show between merch and head count cut. But we put a shit ton of money into the band, every time it cycles back in. Rent alone is 400 a month
Also being stuck in a scene that's not very thriving, can't play more than once or twice a month without exhausting your fans. Tryna not be local anymore to fix that problem
>tfw there's one prominent solo fast bass fill he has literally never once gotten right

ol wack ass goober fingers
The struggle. Why I only do music as a hobby desu. Good luck on your journey. Post some of your stuff?
kek, the guitarist bassist paradigm, to suffer for all eternity
Music is a shitty career that is naturally low paying. There's an industry that only exists because they lobbied for laws that allowed them to get paid for shit other people made. That should have tipped you off.
Great hobby though. Develop some talent and play a local show for fun and extra cash every now and then. That's all music ever should be. Fuck rock stars, fuck labels, fuck producers, disobey all forms of copyright. Do not spend money if it goes to a label or producer.
>overrated skill
Try teaching something you’ve never heard before on the spot and say that shit to my face again
I’ve been challenging myself to learn some of my favorite music and it’s going alot better than I thought! Practice those riffs user you can do it!!
Why would I teach someone something I'd never heard before on the spot? Srs question.
I teach music and sometimes we let the kids decide what they want to learn. its sometimes faster to listen than to use tabs(assuming they’re available for whatever rap/pop song they want to learn). Also ear training helps for obscure songs you won’t find tabs for
Even relatively big bands in niche genres barely make enough to survive honestly, take every time I die for example, every single member has a side hustle they work in between tours and they tour as much if not more than anyone, and have been for years and years. I'm sure they live somewhat okay now that they're big, for their genre, but I can't think of many bands that survive off their bands income alone. Which sucks big time. I think with all the advancements in home recording you can extend your earnings quite a bit though, like Periphery doing all their own albums through Misha, they really only have to rely on the label to distribute their music and book shows.
>surprising that each guitar is scientifically tuned, just as if they were real musical instruments
Brits are shitheads that instinctively make everything into a hostile, demeaning joke. Everything. It's jarring for an American to interact with people who seem to hate everything (including the queen), but it's how they cope with living on a gloomy island where most of the women are related to them. Don't take their words too seriously. They're just having a bit of fun.
honestly though I spend most of my time noodling around on stupid shit like k pop
because it's catchy music in a major key that makes it easy to play my shitty leads over

Fuck off larper

i've played this guitar, and i want it, but the massive fucking headstock just for the sake of showing off the logo is cancer.
how can i be larping when im the only person in the thread thats actually proved he even plays guitar lmao, post some music my dude I'd love to see literally anyone else in this thread play, I have zero guitar friends at college
I already did
wait am i talking to deanbrah? kinda hard to tell. but fuck tripcodes

Just get a regular strat and mod it yourself, don’t pay moe just because it says “deluxe”
>tfw no one likes you
FTFY
Do regular strats have that sick finish though
sounds like a buzzsaw m8, try B4 M6 T7 G7 and post again. srs.
this. or get a warmoth neck with the same profile, but the headstock of your choosing. that guitar has a bolt on anyways, easy switch.
>mids anywhere but 0
Not kvlt.
True
Also blueburst is the best finish for attracting qt trans girls, so extra bonus
wait is this you?
or is it this one
The headstock angle and the tuners not being in line with the nut slots are both solved with adequate nut lubrication. As for the headstock breaking, I don't think you know how to take care of your shit like an adult if you drop a Gibson.
Idk maybe
Did you know that the average Fender amp's frequency response is closest to flat (accurate) with the treble and bass at 0 and the mids at 10?
seems like a lot of effort for a guitar that costs a lot of money honestly.
yeah but shiny
It's the headstock angle that Gibson chooses to use that causes breaking problems. You don't have to drop them for them to break. They'll break off in the case. They could fix it by changing the angle a couple of degrees but so far they refuse to do so. Maybe the new guy will know better.
nop regular strats dont come with southern ash, regular strats are usually made of 2 piece alder. poplar if made in mexico or 3 piece alder bodies.
>They'll break off in the case.
Mine hasn't in 17 years. It's gone over a lot of speed bumps too fast as well as potholes. I have a hard time believing this.
>regular maintenance is a lot of effort
I’m guessing you don’t own a car because they don’t come perfect out the factory
yeah but the wood doesn't mean anything
the one you want have an unsealed figured ash.
Clear finishes are ash
just seems a bit silly to pay that much money just to have to fuck around with stringing your guitar in some crazy way it wasn't designed for because the design is bad. you would think for the cash it would be relatively plug and play, with few issues. guitars arent cars
Yeah, drawing in each nut slot for a few seconds with a fucking pencil is a real fucking lot of effort.
If you're too lazy to do even that, that's why self-lubricating nuts exist.
I didn't say they all do, but a lot do.
Top-wrapping isn't any more effort than stringing a TOM normally.
>but a lot do.
Prove it. I don't believe you. I've gone over way too many bumps with mine in the car over the years to believe you.
I find it really hard to believe this is a common problem when I've been regularly gigging with mine for 17 years.
I guess I wouldn't understand. I buy gook guitars that just werk
TBFH any guitar without a self-lubricating nut will see its tuning stability improved by nut lubrication.
the one he posted is a semi-transparent finish.
hazeguitars.com
in his defense it's not exactly a rare issue, you're just defending some company with anecdotal evidence that isn't verifiable at all
will you self lubricate my nut? srs
Jesus man, just google the fucking subject. It's not a big fucking secret.
Yes. I'm just saying the clear finishes are ash.
So your idea of "proof" that this is a HUGE problem is this?
>I’ve worked on plenty of Gibsons that suffered headstock breaks after falling in their cases.
I don't think you know how to take care of your shit like an adult if you literally allow your Gibson case to FALL.
lots of Gibson™ hate today, what gives? are they butt-blasted because they didn't get paid today?
i'll never understand people that talk so much about something they don't like
Show me proof of a Gibson headstock that broke from a reason other than avoidable clumsiness, such as dropping the guitar or letting the guitar literally FALL in its case.
I'm not your goddamn mama. Google it your fucking self.
youtube.com
forum.gibson.com
thegearpage.net
dude chill out, why are you defending their design choices so much? Are they paying you or something? The article does a pretty comprehensive job explaining why the design they have is more prone to failure,it's not a secret, it's not a conspiracy. You haven't had it happen good for you, I hope it doesn't, but I just fail to see what you gain from pretending it doesn't happen
>you're just defending some company with anecdotal evidence that isn't verifiable at all
You mean like anecdotal evidence that isn't verifiable such as "I’ve worked on plenty of Gibsons that suffered headstock breaks after falling in their cases?"
yeah sure I'll take a pro guitar repair shops opinion over a random user with "17 yEaRs oF gIgS". Why wouldn't I?
>more links that aren't proof
I'm aware it's a problem, people here just exaggerate it. It's not going to break if you fucking sneeze on the case like some people here make it sound. Don't drop it. Don't let the case fall. Put it in a nice flight case if you're going to fly with it. It's not going to break if you take care of it.
Why are you always so desperate to call people kids and refer to yourself as an adult like that makes you know anything
neither me nor that other dude said they'd break if you sneeze at them. Literally all that was said, was that gibson headstocks tend to break more often than others, because of their design. That's a fact. They could change it, but they don't, so if you buy a gibson, you should know it's something to look out for. You're not doing gibson any favors by sperging out over it on a mongolian pottery forum, you just look like a retard frothing at the mouth for a corporation that isn't doing anything for you. If someone told me PRS's are shit and broke all the time and showed me an article with the kind proof that article had, Id say, huh, guess they oughta fix that. Not furiously masturbate myself to the logo on my headstock while vehemently denying t's even a possibility, touting my years of playing like it's better than a legitimate mechanical analysis of why those parts break in the first place. you're a bit loony m8. post some riffs
im just looking at gear all day bros
i need to stop
there's a massive chasm between the standard of taking care of a gibson les money and a regular guitar so it's more like
>i drive a v8 mustang instead of an 0.6 liter 16k redline gokart because i don't like regular engine rebuilds
>what, can't take care of shit like an adult? that's just part of owning a car, kid. stick with your toy. cbr600 swapped miata, now that's a car.
>i play a fender/schecter/ibanez/prs/dean because i like my guitar to work out of the box
>what, couldn't afford to replace the nut with a good one? afraid you're a fucking child who still accidentally has things hit the floor?
>You don't have to drop them for them to break. They'll break off in the case.
This statement is clearly implying that they're extremely fragile and prone to breaking no longer how well you take care of them. This, I believe, is patently false. I'm sure a lot of guitars will break if you literally let their case fall.
Go work on your kakapicking
So your guitar can't ever fall into the hands of an airline baggage handler then
That's why they make heavy duty flight cases. You're a fucking idiot if you ever trust a regular guitar case with ANY guitar in it to the airlines.
> I'm sure a lot of guitars will break if you literally let their case fall.
maybe a cheaper ibanez but most are made with fairly strong necks so a case is sufficient to protect them from life happening
if you spend 2 grand on an lp it has to be babied in every circumstance because one, it's two grand, and two, it's designed in a way that makes it likely to break and expensive and time consuming to repair.
How many flights do you think Jimmy Page took with Number One from 1970 to 1980 while touring with Led Zeppelin?
Did you ever see Number One's headstock break?
GUITAR IS TURNING YOU GAY
>don't drop your guitar or let its case fall = babying
No, it's called not being a fucking idiot.
Works with my fender, kiddo.
When you're jimmy page you get to take your guitar as carry-on
>Works with my fender, kiddo.
OK. Good to know I'm conversing with a fucking idiot who trusts airline employees with guitars in non-flight cases.
I mean, all around the world there are people spinning their guitars around their bodies, jumping into crowds with them, smacking into amps, and their headstocks don't explode, so, yeah, if you have a guitar that can have it's headstock explode by just falling over, it's reasonable to state they are exceptionally fragile, especially for the price point. If I had paid as much as gibson owners did and had my headstock explode by a small fall, I would be livid, because for that much money I expect a lot. You do you boo boo, but seriously, you look like a complete tard right now. You're using the old tried and true /g/ argument
>well, uh, werks on my machine
Well if you bought a fender you wouldn't have this problem
Even if it breaks (and the case would probably break too) I have spare necks :^)
Yes, his #1 has had at least one headstock repair.
>people spinning their guitars around their bodies, jumping into crowds with them, smacking into amps
All gay shit which is objectively inferior to simply playing your instrument well.
Something gibson players born after 1980 are unlikely to do, since all fresh talent goes with fender/ibanez/ESP
So they can't play well or have fun. Sucks.
Source? I'm aware that its neck was shaved and refinished, removing the serial from the back of the headstock, but I'm unaware of any *repair*.
okay, so, now you're just deliberately avoiding the point, because you know you're in the wrong. Gibson Defense Force everybody, here to tell you that reality isn't real, mechanical engineering is made up, and you are poor. Whatever dude, I'm sure you're totally enthralling to watch live standing completely still so you can protect your headstock. 17 years of gigging experience, and won't post any of his playing at all. Really makes you think
I've never avoided the point. I've said my share. I'm aware it's a problem, but it's a problem that /gg/ exaggerates. Strongly.
Google nigga
So it never happened. Got it. You made the claim, burden of proof is on you. Provide source or it will be rightfully assumed you are lying.
I love that guy
not that dude and the only googling I came up with wasn't number 1 that broke, it was number 2. also, that user above was right, jimmy page did indeed buy a separate plane ticket at one point for his marlin so it could ride in a seat. what a guy
I always take my guitar as a carryon, I don't give a fuck. I'm not letting them touch my baby
It's a naturally exaggerated problem given that the most common guitar designs are immune from it and 1: require more force to break 2: are quickly and cheaply repaired if they do while gibsons, having glued in necks with fragile headstocks, are the opposite and must be delicately cared for. And for what? They sound the same as any other mahogany plank with the same electronics and two sightly detuned strings.
Do I look like fucking Encyclopedia Britannica?
>They sound the same
No, you look like a liar.
I like how the gibson defense force makes a car comparison, when these exact sort of problems are relentlessly mocked and derided in the car community. When the 2008 STI's were blowing ringlands left and right, everyone lost their shit even though all things told, it wasn't a huge sample size. But it's a problem because its a design flaw. Difference is, Subaru fixed their design flaw, and I guess Gibson just pretends it doesn't exist? Pretty funny honestly, are Gibson owners the MacToddlers of the guitar world?
And you look like a troll. No one's this delusional.

Please get a job

So I can pay over 2.5 grand for someone to break my headstock?
I'm pretty fucking sure I can afford a $2000 guitar. Even if you can't you can head down to guitar center and ask to try one.
And also, though I can afford a $2000+ guitar, I wouldn't want a gibson. Ever. I have gone to guitar center and played some ones I guess were supposed to nice but the neck was uncomfortable, a bit sticky, and a $2500 gison shouldn't the neck refinished. Also it was rather disturbing when I saw as many flaws in the finish as you see on the fancier looking schecters and when the 7th and 9th frets didn't buzz but the 8th fret did. I played two that day you see, and both were pretty damn bad.
When I'm good enough to justify walking out onto a stage with an expensive guitar that guitar will be an ESP Snapper Burner, something nicer than any gibson and more expensive than quite a lot of them.

If you post anything you get shat on. I think we should def have post like that, but to keep the idiots civil it should be like a weekend “post a riff” thing idk barely anyone actually plays herr
I play, and I decidedly don't suck, but I very rarely post my playing here because nobody on Yea Forums likes an attention whore.
that seems to be a common thing on Yea Forums, and it reminds me of the rodge
>wtf my sunglasses cost more than your shoes bitch according to my very scientific sources you are obliged to suck my dick
>i am the alpha male, logically i look like i have access to vast resources so i am fit to sire and protect your children, it's evolutionary biology you dumb roastie
>hey why are you leaving
>i didn't mean it i was just asserting myself like a chad
It's like we get one retard a day with too much money. Yesterday it was jackson brah, today it's the GDF.
I posted my playing and no one shat on me desu
I don't think posting guitar playing in guitar general is counted as attention whoring really, unless you're hardcore promoting yourself with your YouTube/soundcloud/bandcamp/etc because there's already threads for that.
imagine doing all these mental gymnastis about how an overpriced, fragile, problem-ridden guitar that sounds no better or worse than some $500 schecter with duncan designeds in it (that's probably lighter) because you can't just admit you want one because you're trying to imitate yui hirasawa
what's with guys who imitate anime girls anyways? most guys i know imitate other guys. the ones that imitate girls go on to take pills and grow boobs.
Posting it constantly like SOME PEOPLE do here is absolutely attention whoring.
You'd think they'd at least imitate good girls.
Only a Gretsch is gay enough.
I'd imitate Mugi except I don't play keys anymore.
I'd much rather have a thread full of riffs and shit than endless GDF posting and wallet flashing, but that's just me I suppose
>im poor
We know
Well here's the other thing, man. The reason you don't see a lot of good players posting here is:
- Good players don't need constructive feedback from /gg/ of all fucking places;
- Good players are most likely far past the point where they require validation of their skill anymore.
There's not a lot of motive for good players to post their shit in a shitposting general like /gg/.
>I suck at guitar
Yeah, we know
did yui-wannabe fag up here even post any of his playing
i know an anime fag who plays but his favorite girl is eli from love live and he's actually good
What do you mean dude? Just yesterday we had a famous jackson player, that's why he couldn't post his playing, because hes famous. Today we have a Gibson player that's been gigging for 17 years, so that's why he can't post his playing, hes TOO good. They CANT post their playing because it's just that good dude. Playing guitar is coping
Literally the only person who's posted any playing better than a 5 year old is that faggot posting his shitty necrophagist and k pop videos, and his tone was shit
What's the best way to record guitar and bass? I just need something that will allow me to quickly transfer my ideas into the computer so I can develop them and share them with others
Bonus points for help with recording acoustic guitar
a mic
For acoustic, yes.
For electric, mics are antiquated and inferior.
-Mediocre players posting on /gg/ will be ridiculed for not being able to sweep pick or downpick faster than hetfield or not sounding like those double tracking youtubers with 10 grand in gear
-Bad players will post their playing over and over again until you like it
Well, you'll need a digital audio interface, they can be had in good quality for amateur stuff for about $100 or so on sweetwater. To record an acoustic you will also need a microphone if it's not acoustic/electric with a line out. After you have that, if you're trying to stay as cheap as possible, Reaper is a good digital audio workstation(recording program) for recording instruments that can be used for free, and there are tons of quality free amp simulations out there. I don't even have a bass honestly I just play a bass line on my guitar and pitch shift it using the tools reaper comes with, not optimal, but I'm poor and don't own a Gibson so
Do you need different mics for guitar and bass? Also don't you need some sort of audio interface?
What do you recommend for electric? Like a digital amplifier or something? Honestly all this recording stuff does my head in but I really want to get some ideas down
Just DI your kaka hole.
>-Bad players will post their playing over and over again until you like it
I don't
i fucking hate youtube guitarists
>hi i'm ola terreberry from music is win and today i will be demoing this cheap valvestate amp
>pay no mind to the fact that i am tracking two guitars and using it with a $2000 cab and a $300 boost+od+noise gate combo pedal, recording with a microphone, interface, and vst combo that probably costs more than your guitar
>i will be using my signature guitar with seymour duncan pickups
>wow this thing sounds amazing
right the majority of learner-tier players with two years or less of a normal amount of practice, like 30 minutes a day of aimless riffing, just come here to argue about toan wud and larp as gibson owners :^)
>What do you recommend for electric?
Plugging into an interface, either through pedals or direct.
Mic'ing an amp cabinet cuts off frequencies below around 80 Hz and above around 3-4 kHz. The thing is, full frequency range guitar recordings are more useful in modern mixing settings than your typical guitar recording with a frequency range limited by the amp cabinet and/or the mic itself.
Every post is about how you don’t own a Gibson now :)
Ew, at least learn riffs from Fortress or Scurrilous
If I'm doing a pedal demo, I'm recording it both into an amp AND direct inject (separate recordings, not doubletracking), no amp, to provide the actual sound of the pedal itself as an example.
Awesome, thanks for the tips. Mine is an acoustic/electric actually. I do have a bass as well so I'm planning to use that. Just so I'm understanding correctly, the line should be
Guitar -> plugged into audio interface -> USB (?) into computer -> into DAW?
more squirrely vibrato, you're the guy with the vocaroo from the other thread, huh
fix that shit bruh
>acoustic/electric actually
This will probably sound like ass recorded any other way than with a mic.
People with fucked up vibrato are funny. Like, just get a whammy bar nigga.
>mics are antiquated and inferior
T. dude who has a shit amp and is too lazy to learn proper engineering
this shit is annoying, and misleading to noobs. I admire them not pushing the idea that you neeeeeeeed top shelf equipment, but the way they demo the shitty stuff is definitely misleading, and pretty suspect tbqh as far as why they're doing it. I wonder sometimes what the relationship might be between them and the manufacturer of whatever garbage product it is they're shilling.
yup, that's exactly it. once you're recording into the DAW, thats when you can apply VSTs and other effects. This is the preferred method of recording because you record a dry signal with no effects, and can go back after recording and tweak it to your liking. No need to worry about that too much yet, just get an interface, get a DAW, and start playing around. After that look into mixing and all that, but just getting everything set up is a task in and of itself as a beginner, setting up your work flow and whatnot
My point was these guys are recording guitarists and they demo shit like recording guitarists for recording guitarists
Bedroom players and gigging artists want to hear room mics and how it sounds with some bog standard, really common gear like a ts9 instead of a fucking precision drive. They also want heads demo'd with a variety of cabs instead of a variety of generic metal riffs. Because that's what you, and the audience, actually hear. Mic'd cab sound is way different and cabs and speakers affect the sound more than anything else, including your pickups.
get you a man who can do both
a couple of vocaroos were mine, a few were dean brahs. so you're saying I should make my vibrato wider or just do less overall? desu i don't take my kpop solos shits very seriously, I know they don't sound spectacular
when they're all demoing the same head you just have to wonder
>tfw you can only do BB king elevator music vibrato
>you will never be able to play master of puppets properly
actually sounds pretty good to layer acoustic/electric with a mic and the DI. Much different tonal characteristics, can blend well together
Ive been using JST Menace for my metal tones for a year or so and decided I was due for an upgrade so I picked up a line 6 pod HD500x after reading some good stuff about how its still relevant yada yada. I made just a quick A/B test using a stock pod preset and Menace with the literal default settings, nothing changed whatsoever.
How bad did i fuck up?
Excuse any shite playing.
welcome to gear
you will always make everything sound roughly the same unless it's a huge jump from like a fender supersonic to a mesa boogie
>tfw no tits to rub my guitar against

"Those frequencies are so well cordoned off, [an] amp with three mics put on it literally will not fit inside the song. There’s a lot of resistance to that from producers." - John Mayer
I suppose you know more than John Mayer and his producers. Recording electric guitars via mic'd amps is antiquated and inferior.
I can buy that. I just wouldn't record it solely via DI.
What this user said
The nitpicks I would make about that clip could all be fixed by mixing and mastering better, your base tone is fine as is, just play around with your EQ's some more and give your mixes listens on different outputs. I know that's usually my problem, I'll have what I think is a banging mix on my headphones, then try to play it through my car and it sounds like fuck
I thought the 400 dollar give or take price difference was a huge jump lol. Either that or the pod is just ass and people oversell the shit out of it.
>chuggachuggachugga ree chuggachuggachugga ree rhythm guitar
>*highly technical melodic line with a lot of reverb and a tight distortion tone*
this must be a periphery song
Im not really concerned about my mix, i just slapped this cover together. im just asking if i should yeet the pod because of the stark difference in source tone. I dont really think its worth tinkering with the pod to choke a decent sound out of it, ya know?
Dis nigga's technique is crisp but real niggas hum along to what they playing
good taste, hard solo to nail
both sound like digital garbage though, one's way too trebley the other's too muffled, both are too thin
Here's that riff with my tube amp and a 57
instaud.io
boomer engineering wins again
Wait you paid 400 for a pod? Kek yeah that was a bit of a waste my friend sorry, you could've spent 100 on an interface, 100 on amp software, and 200 on mixing headphones and probably came out a bit better. Not shitting on ya just saying
bro you know that dude is playing what he hears in his head for sure, humming along is just practice until you can get to the point where he's at where your fingers automatically connect to what your brain is hearing
Please tell me headphones aren't your primary mixing reference. Please.
I wish I was that guitar
lol u rite
There's really no point in asking for tone comparison if you're not mixing it desu, a mix can make a great source sound shit and a bad source decent, if you were doing dry amp comparisons through a mic yeah but digitally it's a completely different thing
chugchug ree is the best meme motif
even anime girls are getting into it
Who are you quoting?
What part of,
>I don't own a Gibson
Do you not understand?
rate the tones on my band's guide track for the drummer
instaud.io
Well i mean yeah, im really just looking for some portable digital (garbage) tone i can take with me to college, and im trying to get the least shitty digital thing. and yes boomer engineering always wins in the long run dont it.
How do you think i feel, when menace is literally 60 bucks why would anyone get a pod 500 for casual recording.
>200 on mixing headphones
Doing it wrong. Just drop $300 on a pair of JBL 305's and get it over with.
Word but I wanna hear this nigga scatting 8th note triplets tho
John Mayer plays little bitch music with faggot tones, I'm talking about real guitar music here, you know big riffs and big chugs
None of that gay "ya body's a wundalan" shit
So yeah, I do know better than Mr. Mayer
What's with those tinny farts and icepick highs
Lmfao what is this trash
That's real tone and real riffs, big boi
where
Damn, these are some quality chugs.
>Tfw no anime gf that can chug
>300 on JBLs
Just buy a Gibson you fucking poorfag, if I have to tell you again I'm charging for it
Lol k
yer welcome
this sounds way off from the actual song but also better
Dial back your gain and treble m8, when you compress that it's only going to get even more fizzy, no matter how much you gate it.
You obviously have little audio knowledge. JBL 305's down sound like $300. More like $3,000. They're more than adequate for mixing and, quite honestly, more accurate than the typical monitors found in recording studios. Pic related.
>down sound
don't sound
Yeah I'm not gonna lie that sounds pretty bad. The highs are ice picks, you clearly didn't noise gate whatsoever, and you need to add some mids man. Your picking shouldn't be louder than the notes you're playing
John Mayer is a better guitarist than you and a better guitarist than whatever mentally 15 years old lolmetal guitarist is your favorite, who still probably dresses in a black band shirt, black jeans and black Converse/Vans like a fucking high school stoner loser.
I'm just fucking around. I'd use monitors if I could but I cant. I'm not a pro producer and I don't do music for a living so I have to make do with what I've got, which are mixing headphones. First things first I gotta buy a Gibson, then I'll get some nice monitors when I have the time and money to take music seriously again. Thanks for the heads up though I don't know much about monitors and wouldn't know where to start otherwise
Oh no, he fell for the gibshit meme
I bet you have no idea how much money you'd have to spend on mixing headphones (that aren't IEMs) as accurate as those speakers. Protip: it's in the four digit range
Speakers are cheaper than headphones for mixing if you want actually accurate sound.
Stay mad fellow poorfag.
I'm being sarcastic. I wouldn't reccomend mixing shit on headphones to anyone but the user above said hes going to college so I'm assuming he'll be poor and probably in a dorm, both of which make it difficult to recommend 300 burger monitors.
indie fucks and edgy fucks are equal on the ladder of coolness as both are 30 year old boomers now
Loud music simply is NOT a problem in a typical dorm except during late hours when people are trying to sleep.
Why are Gibson Les Paul's so good?
>if you actually want accurate sound
Chill the fuck out brah I'm agreeing with you, no one in their right mind would argue headphone>monitors. It's just
1. Not a priority for me personally in my life
2. I don't have a Gibson
3. I'm poor as fuck right now(see above)
Im super happy for you that you have really sweet monitors man I bet they kick ass
Because Gibson is so good and Les Paul was so good, silly goose.
Fellas my original question was basically just should I ditch the pod and save to get, say, an axe fx for quiet, digital, casual recording. Cause the pod kinda sounds like poop next to my 60 dollar menace plugin.
Don't JBL 305s cost $150 though? Am I looking at the wrong thing?
sweetwater.com
That's for one monitor, not a pair.
Ah okay
It can be when you don't want to be a piece of shit roommate and your dorms make you share a room. Not everyone wants to live with someone constantly blasting their probably shitty mixes at all hours of the day. It's reasonable to assume a college student either cant afford or would be inconvenienced by relying solely on monitors. They should instead buy a Gibson
I wanted this amp and then I spent twice as much on a used 5150 LBX because i'm a dumb sperg who likes to have more gear than skill
If you can afford it then yeah a high end modeling unit like the axe fx or kemper will make just about any other modelling shit sounds like a line 6 next to a mark 5
ESP LTD > Gibson
t.dresses in a black band shirt, black jeans and black Converse/Vans like a fucking high school stoner loser.
You're thinking bass, and even then, still not very accurate.
as opposed to dressing in a sweater vest, khaki jeans, and blue loafers like a high school stoner loser who is just on better terms with their dad?
>being this out of touch with high school stereotypes
just stop dad, you're embarrassing yourself. all those cool and uncool guys of your youth are equally uncool now because they're just old. real cool dudes wear baggy hoodies and make music on laptops.
Do young metalfags not dress that way anymore?
Lmfao @ all the niggaz with poorfa/gg/ syndrome up in here
Schecter>ESP
>young metalfags
you nailed the fag part but they aren't very metal
only japan and USA schecter
>same quality
>charvel prices instead of gibson prices
Imagine posting this unironically
I wanna fuck that twink
ESP is the boomer brand of Japan, unironically
>that sure is $1000 of guitar and another $2000 of brand name
>Yeah but dude, handcrafted in Japan
>Did you know James Hetfield plays one
>Who?
>Kids these days...
Serious question. I mean, to me, it's always been, black band shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, long hair... yep, that's a metalfag. Every time.
Then again, I don't think I've encountered too many high schoolers as of late.
That's because you've been out of high school for ten years.
All those guys? Yeah, they're in their 30s now. They have wives. They have kids. They still dress like that and play CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG music way too loud though.
Kids these days are into flashy colors, offsets, and ibanez.
>ten years
I wish it was only that.
>Kids these days are into flashy colors
Even the metalfags?
did you know my wife plays one?
should I get the Ben Weinman signature ESP LTD? youtube.com
Cute waifu. Eternally cute and smol girls are the best. Good taste.
Especially the metalfags, except for the black metal fags. They were born in the wrong generation, and unless norwegian, the wrong country.
Nice lyrics they write though
>dark woods of coldness
>looming trees of evil masturbate satan's will
>the snow burns before me
>hail the dark powers of the outer rim
>aaaaaaaaaaaanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssssss
My first guess was these guys were from that "Goose" band. dubstep prog barf is fitting
>Especially the metalfags
Huh. Metal's gone gay. It used to be just cheesy. Now it's cheesy and gay.
And yet you STILL, don't own a Gibson.
Morbid little Angels
>aaaaaaaaaaaanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssssss
It just splintered off, regular metal still exists, the gay "metal" is just the popular kind now
Abalone fetishists unite, death to Gibson fags
they stopped doing abalone
>Bacchus guitar
Good taste
How's the Behringer U-Phoria for an audio interface? Is the USB 2.0 a big negative?
sweetwater.com
Somebody needs to slip some fucking Sabbath into these faggots' playlists.
I remember blowing the fucking mind of some Korn-loving fuck in high school with the album Paranoid.
Wait, people actually buy other peoples signature guitars? Lmfao wtf I thought they were made exclusively to sit on the tracks at guitar center, waiting for 6th graders to tune them to drop C and chug on Spiders. I mean really, you're kidding right? Just buy a fucking Gibson
Audio interfaces typically don't need the bandwidth of USB 3.0.
t. that guy in high school who dressed faux-rich out of the GAP and put on a fake english accent when talking about ayn rand
Someone's just assmad they couldn't play any polyphia song ever because their faggot Gibsons neck is too thick to play anything faster than 8th note 120bpm legato runs
woooo Mob Rules
*sips*
someone's mad because their thumb cramped up again
No abalone? Trading in my C1FR Jelloraiser for a Gibson right fucking now
Sabbath is timeless, and I'll say that about very few bands/musicians.
Looks like I'm gonna buy the ESP signature
Still stuck in high school? No wonder you can't afford a Gibson
>esp
>not posting Jeongyeon
Yeah ok you cant afford a nice SG I get it
Why even guitar when you can just Wub WUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUB WWWUUUUUUB tee tee WWWWWWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUB
Only time my hand cramps is when I'm counting out all the Benjamin's I need to buy this years Les Paul Limited edition. You wouldn't know that feeling.
>tfw you will never be a qt man in a dress playing an abalone schecter
The Schecter C-1 Maximum Abalone, with more abalone than any other guitar ever made
I think Sabbath is one of those things that will be cool to a significant portion of the population of various ages for a very long time, like Bob Marley, or "The Chronic."
40%
That's a pretty guitar. I also fuck whores though, so, ya know. Anything but Gibson.
oh yes, I'll never forget Technical Ecstasy
I'm not a fan of this aesthetically but it sure is stunningly bookmatched.
wtf I love The Osbournes now
Oh fuck, I JUST CUMMED! I CUMMED!
That's a veneer you twit.
im completely oblivious to gear can anyone give me quick tips on how to achive rush tone on amplitube4(or any software for that matter).
im not talking autistically accurate just general advice on what cabs and pedals to use
Did somebody say abalone
Abalone guitar
>it's only $800
I guess if you want people to think you're rich, that's the guitar for you
what the fuck is going on, looking at that guitar is literally making me dizzy
Did you cast a black magic spell or something
I'm not an abalone hater per se, but that guitar looks like a tooth cavity
Finally, the one Gibson to rule them all. You poorfags are going to cope so hard once my loan is approved.
play like bubbles

toany bologna
Thats fotoflame
they use real veneers but they're thinner and lower quality than the PRS SE stuff that comes from the same factory
still playable just dumb looking. but that's the price you pay for getting a 24 fret guitar with a set neck heel typically found on $4000 metal axes for
There is literally nothing wrong with bolt on necks
But there is something wrong with buying a schecter (the cheapo korean diamond series) for anything but getting that nice set neck at that nice price.
people buy j.custom ibanez with bolt on necks, price is no indicator of what neck construction should be
Schecter bolt necks aren't like ibanez with great heels and fancy construction (ultra thin, ultra stiff, 11 piece, etc)
They're fairly generic guitars that look really fucking dumb. Might as well get an MIM fender or yeah, an ibanez.
If you're not a turbo poorfag I would suggest getting a MIM Fender PBass off facebook classifieds. A lot of morons sell them cheap for like 200-250 every so often. They are not anywhere near an American made Fender quality or sound but for a beginner they will fit the bill and could honestly last you years if you take care of it. Squire shit is literally sawdust glued together with a neck that might as well be plywood.
Any small 8-10" combo amp for less than $100 will work for a beginner too.,
You can thoroughly lick my ass
>says dean on the headstock
still dumb looking just in a different way
