You know Gibson makes acoustics, don’t you user?

No offence Acousticfag, but you piss me off more than jcum, gibsonposters and kakaposters. Something about you has just touched a nerve with me, and no I don't need another acoustic guitar, I already have a steel string and a classical

>not buying from an actual Spanish brand
Shiggy diggy.

nope. no one in history has ever been able to make a chord change. ever. just give up.

see if you can pick up some used combo practice amp, you can probably find some line 6 or whatever around your price range. They don't sound amazing but they can do a bunch of different sounds so you can play around with em. Or a peavey viper or whatever. something like this

guitarcenter.com/Used/Line-6/Spider-IV-15W-1X8-Guitar-Combo-Amp.gc

deso do not try and gig with it though, it will sound like garbage, and every one will make fun of your bad tone. then get a job, save your money, buy a gibson, and thank me later

try tying a ziptie around your wrist really tight, it will trap the blood in your hand and help it deal with the pain faster. physical therapists use it all the time, its called blood flow restriction therapy

I meant the pain. ;-;

Any youtube instructors you guys would recommend?

Attached: 20190527_104156.jpg (4160x3120, 3.02M)

Thanks for the help user although i heard people say the line 6 is bad for its price range?
Dont worry im not dumb enough to use a bad pratcise amp for gigging

no. guitair is nothing but pan. that's why no one plays it and it's the least popular instrument.

At least with the acoustic guitar the pain is worth it since you're actually playing good music.

Used and abused?

Oh also i found a 30 watt line 6 for just a bit more is it worth it?

you can't play music on guitar at all retard. it's too painful.

People like to shit on it because 7th graders like me buy the 150W versions and play them at gigs on the INSAAAAAAAAAANE setting with scooped as FUCK mids and ridiculous gain, shattering everyones eardrums. Or even better, not getting enough GAAAYYYEEEENNNNN and running a digitech death metal through the clean channel. But desu for like $60 it's not bad, it's a decent bedroom practice amp with a few effects built in and a few different channels. Other companies offer similar shit, but if its never going past your bedroom it really doesn't matter how great it sounds. Thats just my take on it though, someone might tell you if you're not practicing on a $2k 20W tube amp you're retarded, but, those guys are faggots that probably don't own Gibsons

Thank u user

Not too painful for acoustic players. We have this thing called perseverance. Electric players wouldn't understand.

Thick and black?
Depending on what music u want to play i may be able to direct to a good youtuber

you're lying obviously. everyone knows no one actually plays guitar because it's too painful.

Peavey Bandit

>Can't even comprehend the sheer power of acoustic players
Can't blame you to be honest.

stop lying. this is a simple fact. no one can play guitar, it hurts too much.

pebber brown you weakling!

nobody plays guitar in these threads, they just use them as dildo holsters

This is a man who can take the pain. An acoustic player obviously.

Teal or red stripe?

Oh yeah I see now.

The mic is pointed at his balls which proves that he’s not playing guitar. A big dummy like you wouldn’t know anything about that though, would you?

WHY IS D CHORD SO HARD BROS

I've learned A chord, E chord, Em chord, and they're not bad but fucking hell I can't get the hang of D chord at all

If I start learning acoustic now, how long will it take before I can play The Last of Us theme flawlessly?

best free way to learn guitar online imho

Best free way is self teaching. That's how the rockstars did it.

No thanks, I'm a charvel player, grandpa

most rockstars can't play for shit

Those would be the ones that took classes.

>Haydn's parents had noticed that their son was musically gifted and knew that in Rohrau he would have no chance to obtain serious musical training. It was for this reason that, around the time Haydn turned six, they accepted a proposal from their relative Johann Matthias Frankh, the schoolmaster and choirmaster in Hainburg, that Haydn be apprenticed to Frankh in his home to train as a musician. Haydn therefore went off with Frankh to Hainburg and he never again lived with his parents.

>tfw Fender Jaguar
>put 11s on it
>whoa, all the tuning issues ARE GONE

Put 11s on your jaguars, bros.

anything less than 13's are for skinny fingered fembois with smelly breath

I have a teal stripe. I think it's a bit cheaper than the other versions, and it also has an effects loop which makes it really versatile. If you get one, I highly recommend using it with an EQ pedal. Don't have any experience with the red stripe, but I think it's a bit more popular than the other versions. No idea how it would fare for metal, but honestly you probably can't go wrong with either.

GUITAR IS TURNING YOU GAY

i'm a noob. can any of you guys help me figure out the chords on this song by ear? it's obscure enough that there are no tabs or videos of this version. i'm trying to do it myself but not knowledgable enough, it doesn't sound right.

open.spotify.com/track/4ChX573SqXnX9LsX9T2k6d?si=7O-oSuPAR9mGkE9Zk9ioYw

Wow dude, that's really fucked up. I can't believe somebody would say something so homophobic. You know I'm sensitive about my sexuality. I can't believe you would personally attack me like this.

t. a little bitch

Line 6 is never worth it. Save up most of the tone is going to come from your amp make it a good one.

lel wait to you get to bar chords.
Stick with it. It becomes easier.

dude he's just playing in his room the line 6 will be fine. he'd be better off saving up his money to get a gibson

Don't listen to the "save up for a gibson" guy, he's trolling.

meh i started out on a line 6 spider iii and it was pretty terrible I just didn't want him to make the same mistake. honestly he should go for a boss katana or a peavey vyper 1 to get his feet wet.

>he wouldn't dress like a girl for a signature guitar from Ibanez
Also why is Ibanez giving so many literal whos their own signature models?

Almost every NOLA sludge band tuned C# while your example was shitting in diapers.

Are Orange amps a meme?

their combos are pretty meh but their heads an cabs are good.

I like my microdark well enough. Pretty portable and good for metal.

>Also why is Ibanez giving so many literal whos their own signature models?
So you're saying I have a chance

also that faggot isn't a literal who at all though, super influential and gets tons of views

Because theyre marketing tactic is to appeal to the latest generations tastes. Thats why theyre king of useless and tacky

Whats a good tube amp in the $500 +/- 100 range that works well with pedals and ok for dicking around solo? I like playing a lot of alt rock and grunge.

I guess I just don't expect all that much from a bedroom practice amp desu, for the price he could do much much much worse and end up with one of those stupid marshall ones that doesn't have half the features and sounds twice as bad

yeah but my example is actually good at guitar

I've wanted to like oranges for so fucking long, but goddamn no matter how many I play I just can't get a tone that doesn't either sound fizzy, or boxy. And I like a fuckload of mids in my tone, they just end up sounding so goddamn cardboard without an EQ and boost in front

check your saddles, frets, and nut. I'd bet your saddle has sunken in on it's screws and is ratlley

Desu is there anything more embarassing than not being able to pull off your shit live? Like I'm cool with studio bands, but fuck if you can't play it don't take it on stage jesus christ

I love mine, and you can get them on the cheap relatively easily. I found mine from a dude on Reverb that was selling his local, and talked him down to 800 for it. No case, but it's a USA. I think mines also within the same year, I verified it at one point but I forget. It's a 6 bolter though.

I wish I liked Markbass stuff, I had the Little Mark 800 and it didn't sound good with any setting I had it on. Do you like yours? I'm thinking they sound best when paired with their own cabinets.

How do I get my bass strings to stop vibrating when I play a note on a different string? I constantly have to move my thumb to mute the string directly above the string I'm playing because the little shit keeps making noises. When Joe Dart plays live he keeps his thumb on the pick up and doesn't constantly need to move it around.

I want to play folk rock but it feels like every 15 year old is making 10 nuclear tonnes of this genre
does this genre have anywhere to go?

no just get ableton and make EDM bro

Could be some different things going on here, but technically what you're doing is really the 'proper" technique. Could be a set up issue but I doubt it. You could try a headstock muter or something, but here's what I'm really thinking:

Joe Dart may also be running a noise gate when he plays live and that could also be what you're hearing (or rather lack thereof). So if he's got a high noise floor, it could be gone with something as simple as that. He's a great bass player, but focus on working on your own technique rather than what someone else is doing. Joe's secret isn't exactly secret, he's all oldschool funk players-Johnson, Edwards, etc. Look and listen to them and you'll see where he's getting it from.

I had the vyper 1. definitely a decent amp. eventually upgraded to an AC15 then a Hot Rod Deluxe III, but I think I'd still play the vyper if I had it

now that's a based pick

p-please reply lads

well, it couldn't possibly make you worse. do it pussy you won't no balls

You’re scared because you don’t k ow them or because you think you can’t handle it? The fundamentals of theory are easy(naming chords, inversions, intervals etc.) It’s really when you dig into tonal harmony that it starts to fuck with you, but thats really nitty gritty work you might not get into

G&L

That's... actually the correct answer. Damn son.

Only been playing for two weeks Should i only be focused on down strumming right now? Or shpuld I practice upstrumming too? Justin told me to only focus on down strumming for now and that i'll learn strumming patterns later.

I know what I’m talking about.

haven't changed my strings in 6 months. i'm tired of changing strings all the time, it becomes a bad habit that just saps time away from actually playing.

and Guild if we're talking acoustics

So I should only focus on downstrumming for now. Got it.

Gibson's don't have this problem

China garbage

So now that we're homos which guitarist do you think has the biggest cock? Would you suck it? Does legato make you better at fingering your prostate? Do you feel trem picking has helped you with your reach around game?

I’m not a personality though

An Epiphone, with the Epiphone decal removed and a Gibson decal put in its place

Tone is all in the eyes, after all

How come everytime I look up a tab the only chord shape ever used is

---3--
Is this shape just a crutch used by guys making tabs or are there really people who have based their entire careers around one shape?

You're right.
Why would anyone take the hours to learn that shit?
I mean just learn some music theory, come up with some dank minor progressions, and get your dick sucked.

You don't even have to come up with your own chord progressions. Just copy Pachelbel:

which is a shitty amp if you don't have pedals

i did that and it just made everything loud and shitty

then i sold the pedal for $50 because all it ever did was sound like trash and make good playing mediocre

You have to turn the knobs

What pedals are you trying to use? Even the most basic cheap ass reverb or delay or whatever will sound alright in a good amp's loop

What pedal board and power supply should I get, any ideas? I want the best bang for my buck.

he's a kid who thinks gibsons are awesome, so he's going to shill them here all day until everyone agrees with him.

apparently we also picked up a kid that thinks acoustic guitars are magically better than electric guitars instead of just another flavor of lame shit for music nerds who are too snooty to use fruity loops.

Yeah 11s really brought out the pickups in my Telecaster too. Though I find I can easily over-bend the G string, dont know if I should switch over to 12s to compensate for that.

What bass is the green one? Reminds me of a stingray

Maybe you should listen to something other than nirvana and green day faggot.

How often should I change my strings? I haven't changed them in over 2 years and they're all oxidized and gross.

Might be time to change them then.

can anyone recommend me some good site with structured lessons and courses that can teach even the absolute brainlet how to improvise and create music?

i tried to wing it many times with just playing a scale over backing track and while i understand that it works for people who got the feel for it i guess im simply not one of those people so i have to learn to understand what the fuck i am doing.

most pedals sound like trash in the front

No, real gibsons use an inferior finish material that’s prone to cracking, flaking off, and melting when in contact with rubber because senile geriatrics and starry eyed kids who idolize them think old paint = old tone (why not go all the way and say color affects tone ffs). Its basically impossible to get ripped.

I'm curious about this guitar, what model/brand is it, please?

What guitar is that how much and where can I buy

That's a strat plus. Probably from the early 90s

Bummer I can't find one in that color body and fretboard anywhere

buy a Gibson, thank me later

Gibsons are a waste of money

What’s a good /gg/ approved amp in the $300-$500 range?

Anybody got an informed opinion about putting active EMGs humbuckers in an Gibson LP custom? I’ve never really had any complaints about the stock passives my 2006 LP custom, but recently I put an SA/SA/89 set in my Am. Strat Standard and i’m absolutely in love with the sound i get from the 89. Now I’m been tempted to do something similar for the LP but am worried about whether it’s worth it.

I play mostly rock/metal and rarely play clean stuff.

I know you're just trolling but can you stop hijacking every conversation with your crappy meme if someone wanted a gibson they'd buy one

Get some taste, start playing an acoustic and thank me later.

Does anyone else find that their alternate picking/string skipping seems to improve significantly while slouching backwards in an office chair? obviously not to the point of laying completely horizontally but just enough that the weight of the guitar is pressing more against your tummy instead of your leg?

A GIBSON acoustic

Martin actually

Why buy a Gibson acoustic when you can buy a:
*Martin
*Taylor
*Seagull
?

Alright thats acceptable

Although I am a fan of Taylor's V-Braced guitars, they seem to play really nicely.

Lots of free Jazz is similar to Cecil Taylor's work though. That's a weird comment to make dude.

This is my B a SS, say something nice about her

>bass players have to sit in a circle to share a single neuron in between all of them
Makes sense

What an abomination

Really brings out the ass aspect in Bass

Short scale is for pussies

i bought mine in the mid 80's, it's tripled in value despite using it for all those years.
moral of this story, gibson basically pays you to play (no wonder they are going bankrupt).

it's not short scale tho

sounds like a bit of autism user. try just focusing. normally if your getting to the point were something as retarded as that is actually IMPROVING your playing the you should probably take a rest and let your mind and hands sort of reset. im guessing you only get like that when you have been playing for an hour or so in the same chair without moving.Playing for too long without a break sometimes causes peoples playing to become shittier in such a way that weird little habits like that start to bring the standard back up to close what it would be when they are fresh but warmed up. I'll bet after a break or so you'll find that your picking standards have returned to normal.

i know its ur month but stfu

>seagull
Lmao no

Looks to not be the original veneer. And why did they remove the tuneomatic bridge? And then they drilled 6 new holes in the body. Its a fucking stupid guitar

More like B.C. Poor

the original owner did it. It was a prototype and he changed it to his liking. it sounds good and its plays well which is all that matters u jerkblower

have fun teying to get ur money back on that gibson buddy boi (also I had a goldtop 54 reissue and man selling it hurt cause I lose money on it. oh well gibson gotta have it)

Why would I sell my Gibson? Like I said yesterday, not everyone can play this game. Poor people buy guitars they cannot afford and eventually sell them. There’s a reason why stupid people are also poor. Sorry kid, you are too short to ride this ride.

Obviously Im not worried about money if I bought that POS but i get it daddy buys ur stuff and ur proud. i would be too if my daddy bought my stuff instead of buying them myself. Get dressed the short bus is here for you

I’m a father, moron. Get a job, buy a Gibson and thank me later, kid.

Then get back to work to feed your fucking kid instead of shitposting about gibsons.

I dont think u read too good my dude, I have owned them and the last one I had was not worth it. I love les pauls and 355 but to go out and buy one again? Never unless its too good to pass up. Happy almost fathers day ya cock sucker

lol you jelly of my job that allows me to buy Gibsons, feed my child and gibsonpost at the same time?

I don’t think you read WELL.
>Poor people buy guitars they cannot afford and eventually sell them.
>sorry kid, you are too short to ride this ride

Whoever said I was poor or that I didnt have a job? I sold it cause I couldnt believe I fell for the custom shop meme hype. Im poor in character not money ya dingleberry

Duh, I did. We all believe you, you know. It’s not like you would lie about having money on the poorest 4channel board.

Thank u my friend just for that imma gift u a Yea Forums gold pass.

You can also entirely bypass your preamp and use a pedal as a preamp
guitar -> pedal -> return on FX loop

I don't think you have a job dude you're always shit posting here at odd hours

I just bought a Taylor 414-CE (newer model with v-bracing), holy shit this guitar sounds and looks gorgeous

I think you have schizophrenia.

Only worth learning if you intend to do studio work. Even that is questionable.

I play guitar, bass and piano. Mainly piano.

So like, the guitar is unusual as very few guitarists can read to a high standard. Tabs are extremely common, as are chord charts (you know "C-7b5" "G7alt" etc). In my opinion, if you can get extremely fluent at reading chords and spend say, 4 weeks studying reading treble clef, that will be enough. Your ears will improve enough to fill in the gaps.

The only time reading real music will likely be if playing jazz off a chart in a jam session or something, and if you do as i say, youll be alright.

However, if you're interested in doing serious composing or ju5want to be a well rounded musician, you might as well learn to read. Just be aware you will be at a handicap. Almost all other instruments require reading skills from day 1 till death. They will literally be years ahead of you.

Improvise and create are 2 different things..
Anyway
Buy Mark Levine's "jazz theory" book or get a pdf. It is excellent and covers both areas. Theory is the key to both. There are lots of other books on both subjects. You're not going to get much useful information on shill websites. They almost always cater to a very beginner level. Just Google books on composition and improvisation.

I play piano mainly BUT Mark Levine's famous "Jazz Piano" book translates really well to guitar. You've just got to figure out your own guitar inversions.

How so?

First Act custom shop

Man that guy needs to chill on trying to be so edgy. He could just shut the fuck up and play the two power chords he was going to play and turn that eleven minute video into a one minute video.

pretty sure if you shit in a box and tape some strings to it no good guitar player could make it sound good.

Use some common sense m8, if you're reverbing your signal prior to distorting it, it stands to reason your reverb will be distorted as well, and sound like poopoo. Same with delays. Isolated in the fx loops they're usually applied to the signal post distortion or whatever your amp is doing to it, reverbing the already processed signal prior to pushing to the speakers. If you want to sound like shit or play shoegaze never use your effects loop. Overdrive are a little bit different because many people use them to boost the signal prior to the amp in order to get more out of the amp, most metalheads with non shit tone will run an OD with zero gain and full tone as a clean boost to push their signal harder to break up naturally and not require as much gain

>This is not funny its cringe

It’s not supposed to be funny, sausages are important to me. :(

you could not possibly be as shit as me user. i broke some shit recently by plugging a higher voltage power supply into it. it was my friends zmx52 mixer and i dont know how to fixy

I like the Little Mark 800. They only sound good with their own cabs though. I have a Fender Bassman 4x10 Cab and it sounds like shit with the Markbass head even though the cab itself is amazing. The main issue I have with the Markbass stuff is that they don’t take pedals well at all (aside from octavers). Soon though I’m gonna get rid of my Markbass rig and stick with just my Fender setup. It kinda does everything.

I tried a gibson though, and I got triers remorse because I made that poor kid at guitar center get it down from the top row only to decide it was trash

>awkward to hold
>hilariously thick neck
>G string kept going out of tune
>blues: the pickups
>looked like a toy guitar

Sing louder and use these settings on your amp:
volume 10
gain 10
highs 10
lows 0
mids 0
presence 10
resonance 0
lead channel

Thank me later

I don’t have an amp, this is acoustic heavy metal

>too poor for an amp

Damn, that's pretty kvlt

You tried one Gibson and think they’re all the same? Not everyone is tall enough to ride this ride

If they can't make a quality guitar even semi-consistently I'm not giving them a single penny.

This nigga thinks a Les Paul and 335 and firebird and Flying V and explorer are all the same guitar.

New thread

Anons why the FUCK is my alternate picking and string skipping so utterly temperamental?! I swear one moment I'll be all like aw yeh sweet i learnt this new lick, then i go to repeat it and my pick will miss the string cleanly by a country mile ffs. or i start attacking the strings harder and harder to avoid that happening. but that just seems to make everything more and more clumsy and shitty.

Has anyone here ever tried to learn megadeth- angry again? There's this riff that goes like pic related. But when I play it , it sounds like it's wrong or something. Is it just my tone or I might be playing it wrong?

Attached: angry again.png (437x159, 3K)

Sounds like you need to practice proper picking techinique instead of alternate picking. Do that first, then alternate picking. You lack the basics. Baby steps .

Buy a couple of cheap pedals first to get idea of what sounds D's you want and what pedals types work.best. then buy more sturdy pedals and when you have at least 4 buy a small board. I suggest, in this order. Tuner looper. Overdrive. Delay/echo.

If you're looking into overdrive pedals, buy the tube screamer mini. Best bang for the buck.

You are a faggot, my chinese guild is the most comfortable beautiful sounding guitar that I have ever played. The chinks have great work ethics, not like you mutt burgers that are overdoesed with (((medicine))) or underpayed mexicans.

Yep, it's just code word for NPC's that "popular music good", no matter the genre. That's why people can like Kendrick Lamarr and Yann Tiersen at the same time

I'm not really a beginner bro and I have all the stuff you metioned. I just want to stop using daisy chains and get something that will be the best bang for my buck but thanks for the help.
