Yeah, for a player of your ability that's definitely one too many.

shut the frick up, pi/gg/u

damn that's dope as fuck. If you ever want to collab on a track or two gimme a shout, you're like one of two people so far I've seen in this thread that are actually really good at playing, that was some real clean /cleanwank/. For real. If my recording setup hadn't completely fried I'd keep going but I'm digging old shit out of my soundcloud because I can't record until my motherboard gets back from being RMA'd. Might put up a quick phone video though in a sec

It's made of wood and metal. Good wood means stable, durable wood. Good metal means smooth, consistently sized metal parts that won't wear down very fast. So yeah you get what you pay for.

Not like it matters if you're a home/studio fag who buys guitars before he clocks enough hours to have functionally significant fretwear and has his shit in a mostly stable environment. Those high end guitars are made for working players who haul their shit around and perform live, so they're built to live through huge climate swings and hours and hours of playing every night.

>they're trendy and to sell albums.
>it's disingenuous
These are things you are admitting to me, this is why I'm right.
>But unless you can point me to
Google "basic bitch djent bands" there's a whole genre for this garbage.

>kek, opinion discarded.
Totally sick roast my guy, what year is it?
>Get over it dude faggots are better than you at guitar
I don't care if they're gay or if they're better than me at guitar. You keep bringing up their sexuality and how good they are at guitar, you realize there's more to music than letting dudes bang your butt and being good at guitar right? You should really see a therapist about all those insecurities rather than projecting them on me by the way.
>drawing huge crowds shredding over trap beats,
That sounds super fucking lame.
>it's lame and trendy,

That was just guitar into interface, basic Guitar Rig cleans, running Pro Tools and added some compression and delay

I don't do clean stuff much so that suffices

A: people that give advice or talk shit without ever posting anything to prove they even own a gitfiddle

B: People who post really shitty stuff and ask for criticism when they've very clearly been playing for a whoppin 2 weeks.

C: People who just don't understand that gibson posting is a meme and get so worked up about it they shit their diapers and spend 100 posts arguing about why they're bad even though we're all well aware

Choose any of the above

Kek so we're about even, I run guitar to a toneport UX1, podfarm demo tones if it's a recording I don't care about, BIAS if it is, into Reaper. Think on the first one I posted it was podfarm demo with compression delay reverb and a lil bit of suboctaves.

Gibson trannies

>thinking I'm going encourage people into my exclusive Gibson Owners Club
poorfags stay the fuck away.

I'm aware of that. But more, I see gibson has all these fancy finishes and wood and uses Nitro.

Fender uses bolt on necks and paints over the wood so its considerably less time in construction.

Makes me wonder if Gibson isn't 1000x better value.

nitro is an objectively inferior finish material

>metls when in contact with rubber
>prone to cracking, flaking

and a set neck isn't necessarily better especially not with gibson neck heels. it's actually worse because if it moves or is damaged on tour you're fucked, get a new guitar.

Some set necks are worth the downsides. Gibsons though? Naw.

Acoustic guitar is louder than an electric guitar with a well attentuated amp (read: any amp with a master volume knob before the power section)

I can play mine without breaking 90db, acoustic guitars at least reach 95-98 if you really go ham on them. And electric guitars can be used with headphones.

Then save your money.

hmmm sounds good, guess I have some research to do

Then buy a Gibson.

Thank me later.

Checked. Gibson master race digits confirmed

I just want to learn this properly. It’s 4/4 time at 199 bpm. So for these eighth notes do I play two notes per click of a metronome at 199 bpm or just one note per click at 199 bpm? Or am I totally off?

opinions?

It's more tha likely all cheap chinkshit that wont sound good and will crap out, be it the amp breaking, the wiring inside coming apart, horrible tuning instability, fret buzz, sharp nut and bridges leading to more string breaks etc. But if you just really want to get a guitar in your hands and see if it's something you can get into and it doesn't hurt your pocket may as well

So I was playing around in D standard like a teenage metalhead and my amp/cab started sounding like a bad fuzz pedal even on its cleanest settings

It's painful to listen to. Did I kill it? D isn't even that low.

How do I learn counterpoint for guitar

Very good deal, nicely done.

How hard is it to play the lead intro of this song?
youtube.com/watch?v=0eR4aQrYozY

Also, do you think it actually sounds good?

Understand harmony and theory first. Then it's just a matter of creating distinct melodies that complement each other. I hate to shill my own music here but:
>soundcloud.com/youngmatthewbrah/untitled-1

The guitar carries the main melody for a time, then the saxophone comes in with a different melody, then there are complementary guitars and bass playing in the background. All eventually blend despite playing different melodies and sometimes complementing each other with harmony.

I would suggest learning a lot of allman brothers, thin lizzy (anything with dual guitar parts) and then of course writing your own parts over other pieces. It will come with practice. Don't just limit yourself to one instrument either. It's sometimes easier to create contrasting melodies with different instruments. Note sure if that helps at all.

I'm in the process of learning harmony/theory I've got the basics down I'm pretty sure when it comes to chords and keys and stuff just having a hard time grasping how to write melodies

I always thought things Lizzy just played guitar parts on octaves and thirds and stuff are there any particular songs or books you'd recommend ?

>just having a hard time grasping how to write melodies
Just got to bang them out. My first melodies and pieces were all simple stepwise motion motifs. Just like actually getting good at guitar, getting good at songwriting and composing and all that takes practice too. You don't want to end up the guy who is an amazing player but can only write twelve bar blues and I V vi IV progressions.

>I always thought things Lizzy just played guitar parts on octaves and thirds and stuff
Yes, essentially lol. But it's a good place to start I think. For example, at the end of the main riff of The Boys Are Back in Town, one of the guitars descends while the other (more or less) hits the same note for a bit. Anyways, my point being if you understand what the two guitar parts are doing, you can then play around in the same key but with different notes, rhythm and contour.

Songs I'd recommend, which are all fairly popular:
>Cowboy Song by Thin Lizzy
>Boys Are Back in Town by Thin Lizzy
>Blue Sky by the Allman Brothers (during the solo bits, complement what they are playing with different melodies/leads)
>I Still Remember by Bloc Party (lots of lead to counterpoint against)
>Make No Plans by Marching Band (these guys do countermelodies well I think)
I think the trick is to understand the theory, be decent at improve and writing, and know what adds.

Another example of mine. Listen to 1:00 onward and the tradeoff between the sax and guitar.
>soundcloud.com/youngmatthewbrah/exchanging-smiles-at-the-dock

Above all, just have fun and write what sounds good and be open to criticism. You'll know if it sounds like shit and normies will definitely know if it sounds like shit.

Even Pelican has better drumming than this.

Thanks for listening friend kek. I am definitely no drummer. I just make some loops in ezdrummer.

I know they're midi, but the relationship of what a drummer should be doing is going to unlock what you're trying to do.

>tfw forever a bedroom musician
I bought an alesis nitro mesh kit just because I know literally no drummers and im tired of writing the same beats. hopefully that will improve me overall as a musician. thanks for the tip!

Gibson doesn't need a catchphrase. They just sound good. That's why you buy them.

my 10 year old brother is as tall as that

No

"Only a Gibson is good enough" isn't good enough any more?

That's not a catchphrase, that's just a fact.

I chuckled.

>thinks the 7th+ strings are only for metal

Yep, too unskilled and uncreative for one

Maybe that’s okay, since gibson is too cowardly to make a 7 string (or anything new, since the star trek badge flopped). What a shit company compared to fender, with shit guitars for washed up rock and metal players.

gibson owners are 100% more likely to be transsexual. why?

So I actually looked at the OP pic for a second and like, what the fuck? Lmao what are they trying to say is going on there? Her pantyhose are half down, and shes holding a microphone so maybe like shes fucking herself with it? But why be holding the guitar? Why are her headphones not connected to anything and floating off into space? Or are those earrings? Why are the floating? Why does she have a drum set, I thought shes a guitarist? This whole scene is confusing and silly, take it down, redraw it, buy a Gibson.

>the your Gibson's nitrocellulose finish leaves your shirt smelling like Graham crackers after playing
Based

Once you feel the sexual power of playing a Gibson, you begin to understand the powerlessness of a penis.

They use estrogen in the nitro sprays. All the high test boomers have moved on to dean
youtu.be/xfLKYvAwLQI

Fender doesn't innovate either bud, they've been making the same thick necked plywood pieces of shit with garbage pickups for years and years. I've held a guitar from just about every brand I could be happy with, except fender. And dean.

HOLY FUCK THIS GUY IS NUTS

>proving his point

Are Fishman pickups worth the money or are they just an overpriced meme? The double voicing feature seems interesting but it's not that game-changing as far as I've heard.

are "premium" pedals and tube amps made specifically so richfags can flex on lesser bedroom rockstars and possibly even people who actually play for a living

>klon - $300
>average EQD pedal: $200-300
>pedalboard usually consists of 5+ pedals = well over $1000
>premium/"legendary" tube amps always run north of $1000, usually $2000
The absolute cost of such a limited setup, before you even buy the extra gear you absolutely need to record. Could have spent that on another gibson.

>mooer ge-200 multi-fx - $300
>line 6 helix - $600-$1600
>axe fx - $1000-$2300
>EHX 44 mag - $150
>SD powerstage 170 - $400 / 700w - $700
>kemper - $1800
Pick an effects unit and an amp or just get a kemper. Now you have more money for more gibsons. Just hide your setup in a gutted fender twin reverb chassis so the audience will praise your warm, organic tube tone.

They are more worth the money than any boutique passives, which are a fucking joke imho

Did you know that Charvel is owned by Fender. Did you also know that Charvel makes 7 string guitars?
Did you also know that if you get a job and buy a Gibson-you can thank me later?

did you know that recognized symptoms of autism are repetitive behavior, anime posting, and lifelong virginity?

It really is. I wanted to try something more modern sounding for my old plank but sadly I can't find these anywhere locally to test them. They seem to be all the rage these days, meanwhile youtube demos sound like any other pickups and the different voicings don't make that much of a difference but then again they cost like any other set of brand puckups.

The tosin abasi set has a pretty distinct sound but you could probably get away with getting a used EMG JH set unless you really want the versatility

Get emg 57/66 or rev set

I agree. Even Leo fender moved on to MM and G&L. Cutlass is better

Still haven’t figured out your interface lol

Got it, thanks. Which EMGs have coil-split? I think 89 had that feature, any more?

89, 89R, 81TW and the X model counterparts

you need a noise gate. if you're going to post wanking it should be good atleast like

noise gate aka good technique and clean power in a box

Hi guys, I’m looking to upgrade my first guitar, have been playing on my dad’s ancient Gibson hummingbird but it’s really old and the strings are high and really rusty. Is the Martin Ed Sheeran Signature a good upgrade?

Attached: 94FFE218-514C-4DAB-A1CC-3258B3A546C4.jpg (500x750, 37K)

just about every signature model ever is overpriced

A particular reason you don’t want a full size?

My setup consists of guitar ($1000) -> OD and reverb pedals ($300) -> a clean tube amp ($600). There are more things I want but the setup is pretty damn versatile. Not cheap, but it's good for both recording and playing shows and I pieced it together over time. Richfags can't buy enjoyment and I'm not really worried about what other people do. But yes pretty much everything guitar related is overpriced.

Get a yammy

Secret to god tier cleans on jcm900:
Gain near zero and channel volume dimed. Turn gain up for desired volume. It will be incredibly loud before it starts to break up.

so you're telling me.......that if I want to get a clean tone.........i gotta turn my gain down? get the fuck outta here

Yeah but the way i explained produces a better shimmer .

My amp and pedal board cost me less than 200 dollars yet i couldnt be happier with it, should i be ashamed?

not if it sounds good. just remember, there are people playing on $6k worth of gear that sound like shit.

my guitars neck isnt straight against the body as shown in pic related, should i be worried? (its not as extreme as this i wouldnt have even noticed if i wasnt autistic as fuck)

Kek, accidental micro tonal guitar. For casual use it you dont notice then whatever. If you have any intentions on recording or playing for others odds are your intonation is fucked up and your chords sound awful, although I suppose you could compensate for that at the bridge depending on your bridge. What guitar do you have?

Please don’t give advice

>LMAO DOOD PLAY GIBSON LOL ONLY THE BEST PLAYERS PLAY GIBSON WHAT ARE YOU POOR (never posts his gibson since he doesn't own one) GET A JOB AND BUY GIBSON LOL. (doesn't even have a job himself)

Imagine being this retarded...

Like who?

Get a job, buy a Gibson and thank me later.

sitnky goth girl feet

g&l tribute fallout. Chords are fine as far as I can tell, it sounds better than my jazzmaster at least. That fucking things setup goes bad every few months.

Just wank on your own Gibson, it's good enough.

If it works it works, just make sure your intonation is correct and you're in tune across the entire fretboard. If it really scratches your autism though like it would me, a luthier will be able to shim it back straight, it's really not too uncommon of an issue with cheap guitars.

But I already play a Rickenbacker

I dont have a Gibson unfortunately. It's not that I cant afford one, it's that I'm just not good enough at guitar to even lay hands on one. My sensei says you should play for at least 5 years before trying to reach Gibson level.

thumb - E , 1 - g , 2 - b , 3 -e < fingerstyle bread and butter

It messes with me to the point that I rub my hand across the neck pocket obsessively instead of playing but I I'm broke so there's no way I'm affording a fix any time soon

>buy the shitplank I can't afford
lmao die in a fire loser

You can try shimming it yourself, all it takes is a little piece of wood with the correct angle in the neck pocket.

Nice shoop we all know gibsons dont break. That's a dean

Lmfao thats not me
>rent free
Keep looking like a dumbass on your free time

I wonder if they hadn't run themselves into bankruptcy off dads who don't even play if they could actually make guitars that didn't suck?

Goth girls dont have stinky feet.
T. Goth girl womanizer

Where do i need to put the wood? I've tried searching for answers and everything I've found refers to the neck being to high or low relative to the bridge as opposed to to far left or right like mine

How do I deal with the urge to buy a second guitar if my first one is perfectly fine? There's just so many interesting things out there. Is being inspired by a different instrument worth its price?

Please hang yourself publicly

If you want to buy a gibson try this neat trick: Throw your money directly in the trash.

Its sagging towards the ground right? Speaking as if you were sitting or playing it right handed. If so, the it depends on which side of the neck pocket is loose. You'll either have to shim towards the top of the heel on the low side of the neck, or towards the bottom of the neck pocket if its loose on that side. It would help if you could post a picture of the neck in the neck pocket

I'm too poor for Gibson anyway.

Once a guitar has rusty strings it’s fit for the skip.

Goth girls have awful hygiene.

These posts confirm what we already know to be true. Poverty is a serious problem, even in already developed nations. Right now there is a starving child in Africa, praying to Yohimbe to come down and bless his hands with a new Les Paul. For only a few posts a day, you too can help remind the worls: you're not a bad person because you're poor, you're bad at guitar because you dont own a Gibson.

Get a job, buy a Gibson, thank me later.

If I have the guitar on a strap the neck is a few degrees closer to the ground that is should be. It doesn't affect anything other than my autism, I mostly wanted to know if it's likely to cause any long term issues like neck warp.

>he day laborers all day and STILL can’t afford a Gibson

>Get a job, buy a Gibson

I played a J45 and it was so similar to my Martin in sound I just didn’t see the point. Nice guitar but I already have a good one.

I’d consider an SJ200 if I saw a good deal on a preowned.

Yeah dude, truss rods aren't important, just buy a gibson.

Check out the new les paul design. How groundbreaking.

Attached: innovativenewformfactorguitar.jpg (500x303, 24K)

It's a problem that will get worse over time yes. And it will make your intonation and tuning stability worse and worse as time goes on. Shimming it now will save you the effort in the future

Yeah, I love the new San Dimas line but the FR... Ugh. I'm leaning towards the Custom DK24 but I don't like the fact that it isn't a full-size body.

If spent as much time at a job as you did wishing you had a Gibson, you still wouldn't be able to afford it. I know you're upset that I can do finger stretching exercises with my wallet, but that's not the only reason I'm better at guitar than you. It also because I play Gibson.

But I do have a job, I can afford a Gibson, I just don’t really want one.

>guys I swear I'm rich I swear
>I just dont buy good stuff cuz reason
>wtf dude I'm not lying I'm seriously rich
Poorfags never learn.

I’m not rich, a couple of thousand pounds just isn’t that much money in the grand scheme of things.

>and hes still not playing a Gibson
Whew lad

lol bad liar

I play a Martin, it’s a great guitar and I just don’t feel the need for another. I’d much rather spend my money on other things, for the price of a high end Gibson I don’t need I holidayed in Japan for three weeks.

>weeaboo who cant afford Gibson
Bet you post anime too. Sorry this is a thread for Chads and the femboy guitar players we fuck, not beta orbiters who cant afford Gibson

Not in california

Just stop for both our sake.

You're right, in California everyone has awful hygiene

Nope, I have never posted anime in my twelve years of Yea Forums use.

My favorite member of necrophagist

anime posters and gibson posters are mostly the same people

Guitar sales were fine they just made bad investments elsewhere

My left hand fingerstips are becoming numb 24/7, is this normal or am I practicing too hard? doesn't help that I'm learning on a cheap acoustic...

you'll pay for the crime you have committed

They're different people. Anime poster is a different guy. I'm the only person gibsonposting for the last week or so. Just samefagging it up because its summer and for some reason people dont get that it's a meme. I even admit it every thread and yet endless hordes of faggots keep shidding and pissing and farting and cumming. It's great if low effort salt farming.

Wouldn't happen if you played a Gibson.

>bad investments
as in making shitty guitars

I thought he was better in rings of osiris

It's normal, you'll develop callouses/get used to it over time. Try to apply just enough pressure to the strings.

boku no i wanna fuck jiro academia
Like ~150 people at a 4/20 show at a local bar that has a p. big open space for gigs as their backyard
we thought it was gonna suck cause we were the openers but the show started so late the place was packed when the first bands started playing, the headliners played to like 30 people

post timestamp with your gibson, user.
you do actually own a gibson right? you're not just a poorfag pretending?

Kek, that shit is funny as an opener until you headline at 1am to fucking nobody and like........damn success hurts dont it I know exactly how rappers feel now

Instead of lusting over one of my many Gibsons you should get a job, buy your own Gibson and thank me later

>poorfag pretending
You didn't have to call him out after 1 post user you could've let him LARP a little while longer

Justify it by having it in a another Tuning

This. Gonna buy a schecter shredder with an FR even though I swore off FR's just so I can have a guitar stay in E standard forever while I use my 8 string and PRS for other shit. Those are the mental gymnastics I'm using to justify it at least. I could just buy a Gibson, but I'm not good enough yet

I guess that could work. Different scale length and FR also can add something new to justify it. Actually was eyeing Sun Valley shredder like this user

I'm about to go pick up some strings from GC right now, I'll let you know how they play if you're interested. I haven't felt one yet, but I used to have a C1 and really enjoyed that so if it's similar itll be on my short list of guitars to buy

yeah i've put together like one or two shows here and people always complain that they start early but i do so so the headlines play at 11 pm at the latest, don't want people leaving early cause they drank and smoked too much weed and need to go to mellow out/sleep

Yeah, please do. I haven't try it out yet since they're only recently arrived to my local store, along with other schecters. I'm interested in this one and also the 7 string Banshee Extreme since it looks unusual with its HSS setup on a 7-string and could actually make for a nice second guitar since it looks so versatile.

Be John "Fucking" Mayer and have huge hands, see:
youtube.com/watch?v=_DfQC5qHhbo

Barring that (pun intended), it's all about keeping your wrist as straight as possible, you don't want to be overstretching to try and make it. once you've got the straight wrist it becomes a far smaller effort to move up and down the neck. It's super useful for funk, soul or rnb where you have chords moving from say Ab/Bb to a B and can just slide your fingers up and leave your thumb on the root.

Was going to buy a FR for the exact same purpose. It would just be my guitar to impress boomer parents with sick divebombs and playing One by Metallica over and over.

*Ab/Bb to a Bb sorry

Does anyone know where I should start if I'm looking to play technical math rock/jazz fusion stuff? I've been playing for a year and have mainly just been playing jazz, but I want to turn my direction towards being able to play things like Polyphia, Ichika and Chon. I just don't know where to begin. Any tips/direction?

7th chords and the major scale :)

Anyone else enjoying the new chon album :)

Loving it! That acoustic part at the beginning of pitch dark is neat.
At the risk of sounding like an idiot and misinterpreting this, what exactly do I need to take from 7th chords and the major scale to apply it to math rock? I probably just need to dick around and find out myself through practice but I keep getting lost

Is it bad for my acoustic's neck if I take off all the string at once or no? Trying to get a good clean my next string change

it's fine

No, it's wood

Yeah dude, I really want a one of these fine instruments so bad.
