Sam Griffin Guitar makes very good arrangements of pieces. I don't watch many guitarists on YT, but he makes arrangements that are faithful to the source material in a meticulous way that I do.

why do my fingers hurt so much when i play my guitar? i started learning about six months ago and then it started to hurt less after a while but then i stopped playing for a few weeks and now i tried playing again today and holy fuck i can feel the strings sinking deep into the flesh of my fingers, i can't even bend or vibrato. how long before it gets better again or goes away completely?

I have a dilemma, if someone would like to read and give advice it would help Im 19 y/o and live in a 1st world country and im on a course that will give me a great carrer ; about 5k$ per month on first year but im not gonna make any money for the next 4 years and will have almost no personal time and be forced to travel alot. The catch is im allready a year in school, last month i started playing guitar and fell in love, its the first thing to get me this excited every day. If you were in my shoes would you quit the course? I really want to pursue a carreer in music but id need to throw away an eniter year i spent on a degree on 2018 Pic related is what i orderd today, to replace the knock off strat i got for 100$
The music industry is a government subsidized exercise in setting and following trends. Government subsidized because of laws that let one man own many things other people made, without lifting a finger, and sue other people for sharing them without paying him first. And the tastemakers, such as that one man, have decided that guitars are out.
Get a real job and play it as a hobby. You might be able to afford nice guitars in that case.
Isaac Reed
Jesus Christ, I can't even feel those. Just play guitar every day and don't put so much pressure on your hands. This gauge should play itself.
Okay but is it not possible to make a living playing at smaller local venues ? Or making a band and getting famous through youtube or whatever and then going on tours or something

Even hypebeasts like polyphia and chon are very small acts. And there's only room for so many of them.

That's what all of those coffee shop players did. They stayed in school, did a gig every other weekend and recorded shit through bandcamp. It's not a bad idea, because you can still enjoy music and be rewarded for it, but you're not gambling your financial security on what is more or less the audible form of the fashion industry.

Isaiah Bailey
about something as retarded as thinking you have a chance at making it as the lead sax player for a big jazz band?
sax is still a legitimate, respected instrument. people still make great music with the saxophone. lots of people play the saxophone. saxophone is still cool. sometimes it makes cameos in pop music. but it's not profitable any more. it's out of style in the world of paying other people to make music so you can sell it and give them peanuts while you pocket coconuts.

Connor Bailey
based and redpilled you remind me of this classic Gibson player
Ok pretty dumb questions incoming. I'm kinda new to guitar and don't know a lot about theory. Why in the Asus2 diagram are you not supposed to hit the 6th string open? There's an E in that chord! Is it because you want to have the root on the lowest string you're strumming? If this was the case for all the chords I never noticed. I also noticed Esus4 and Asus2 are the exact same notes E A and B. Didn't think that could happen. Is there like a thoery reason for that?
Thanks, I definitely need more ear training. Since I joined this band our pianist made all of us play with chords in front of our face because "the harmony is not that intuitive and everyone MUST play the same thing".
Nicholas Bailey
Oh hes alright I guess I prefer Duane Allman love me some rednecks. (also jk i knew who dat was. bazinga)
Lucas Collins
it just doesn't sound nice, that's about it. The high E is the octave to the E on the 2nd fret of the E string, so yeah.
Daniel Reed
Not that guy but to me that makes no sense. You said it yourself. Low e is an octave to both the d string middle e and high string e. You're telling me triple octaves somehow sound bad? Idk.
I usually play all the basic chords by strumming everything.
Ryder Wright

Nigger, you do realize the guitars they are "copying" are damn near impossible to find and even if you do, the prices are through the roof.
Sebastian Cox
whoops, meant to reply to
Brody Stewart
A fourth apart on the low strings usually sounds muddy and gross. Piano players usually do the same thing, keep the closer intervals on the right hand and the left is playing at least a fifth
Also it was already said, the chords share the same notes so you can't really invert it. With an E on bottom it'll sound like muddy ass plus now functions as an Esus4 instead
Jeremiah Rogers
Do pianists in general have a superiority complex over any other band instrument?

Their prices are through the roof too.

Kevin Campbell
Many chords share notes, but have completely different functions. A fully diminished chord is just four consecutive minor thirds for example. So Cdim7 has the same notes as Ebdim7, Gbdim7, and Bbdim7. The only difference is the root.
For any chord in a lead sheet, you should probably play the chord with the root. If you are accompanying a bass instrument, you might want to play only the higher notes of the chord. If they wanted you to play the E, they would have written a slash chord.
David Walker
fuck that should be Bdim7
Alexander Johnson

I know this is dumb but I have fallen behind in my practicing. I fucking suck now. I need some new songs to play. Does anyone know any decently easy song suggestions? I mainly play post-punk, some metal, new wave, and a little bit of jangle-pop. Any help would be appreciated.

WHY THE HELL DO PEOPLE CALL IT "COMPOSING" TO PUT TOGETHER THE VERY SAME CHORDS AND PROGRESSIONS >I IV iv I V (THAT FUCKIN IV iv !!!) >I V III VI II V >If it's rock, vii IV I
Dominic Morales
Because you're playing the chord in what's called the root position which means that the bass note (lowest frequency note in the chord) is the root note of the chord (here the A in Asus2).
If you played the E as the bass note you'd, technically, have an inverted Asus2 chord. The guy who replied to you saying it just sounds bad doesn't know what he's on about.
>I also noticed Esus4 and Asus2 are the exact same notes E A and B. Didn't think that could happen. Is there like a thoery reason for that?
There is a theory reason for that. In music theory context is very much the basis for notation and naming. For example we don't tend to use duplicate note names if it can be helped. As you've already noted Asus2 and Esus4 have the exact same notes. This is because Asus2 is an inversion of Esus4 and vice versa. So the theory reason is exactly that: Every suspended 4th chord has an inversion which is a suspended 2nd chord, and vice versa. But I'm sure you can see how, in naming chords for practical purposes, it would be more confusing to call Esus4 chord Asus2 second inversion.
Adam Baker
Recommend me good basses for under $1,000.
Right now I've got a cheap Ibanez Soundgear and a Squier Matt Freeman P-Bass. I like the looks of Rickenbacker 4001, Aria Pro II, those Gibson SG basses, and P-Basses (off-white and black are the colors I prefer most btw). I mostly play rock and metal.
Jackson Kelly
Wait wait, the Esus4 guitar chord consists of E C# and A, the B also gets suspended into the C#. And Asus2 is A E B D, bc the C# gets suspended to D

What are you on about? Let me illustrate why you're wrong here. Triads are made by stacking thirds from ontop of eachother. So from the tonic of a scale (root) where the tonic note is 1 you get 1-3-5. Minor and major scales with the same tonic note will share 2nds, 4th and 5ths. This is is why suspended chords are neither minor nor major. This might not be at all relevant to what you're saying but since what you're saying confuses me so I feel like it might be useful for you.
So. A major scale: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. A minor scale: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G E major scale: E, F, G, A, B, C, and D E minor scale: E, F, G, A, B, C, and D
As you can see if we were to create suspended 2nd and 4th chords it wouldn't matter which scale we used. The formula will always be 1-2-5 or 1-4-5 and they would yield the same notes.
Esus4: E A B Asus2: A B E
I'm sorry I could address exactly what you're trying to say but that's because I really don't know what you're trying to say.

way way off a is the relative minor to C e is the relative minor to G
Whoops. That's meant to say A major scale: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G A minor scale: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G E major scale: E, F, G, A, B, C, and D E minor scale: E, F, G, A, B, C, and D

looks good. i quit smoking because it gave me costochondritis and destroyed my short term memory and my reflexes. i still grow though. my question is why do you perpetuate the dude weed stereotype by posting pictures of your nugs in places that have nothing to do with weed? sincere question. i play guitar better when I'm stoned but my memory is too important to me to keep up the habit.
Arias are good, but you should buy an old one form the 80s, new ones aren't as good.
Anthony Mitchell
is that the thing where if you breath in too quickly it feels like you are being shotgun blasted in the chest, I thought I was having a heart attack when it first started happening and I can't smoke weed now because of it.
Brody Lewis
To piss straight edge faggots off. But i also highly recommmend it halfway through a practice session makes the pain and burning go away for a bit.
yeah costo can cause sharp pain above your heart that feels similar to a heart attack. it's just inflammation of the cartilage that connects your ribs and your sternum. it isn't directly from smoking but the coughing itself. i had a coughing fit so bad that i started coughing up blood a year ago and my chest has been sore and tender ever since. my sternum also cracks/pops anytime I have to flex my pectoral muscles, like from working out or pushing something and it makes my chest throb for a while afterwards. also i get random sharp pains above my heart whenever it flares up, and i can't take a full breath despite not being fat and regularly working out. sucks, i used to smoke to cope with my anxiety but it just fucks my chest up these days so i have to choose between anxiety attacks or feeling like I'm having a heart attack for the rest of the day. anyways don't forget to like and subscribe if you liked this blogpost also guitars

>crack smoker
drink more water, lasting indentation is a symptom of dehydration, like a reverse pinch test
So I came to the realization that my guitar teacher was useless and that our practice sessions were more jam sessions than actually practicing and learning skills.
I came up with my own routine to get me going now ... what do you think?
>10min of scales >10min of power chords transitioning >10mins of alternate picking, hammer ons and offs >30mins minimum of the chosen song i'm learning
how did you figure that people with shorter neck scales use thicker gauges?
Eli Lewis

Im going to an hour a day minimum. What i need to do is start waking up earlier in the morning and doing the extra work then. Put another 20min every morning ... of scales and alternate picking and shit

Because higher gauges usually means higher tension. 10s are already super floppy on 25.5 and additionaly jaguar bridges can easily let go of loose strings

Wanna buy a Bassman 68 in my area. Played it twice and its only like 600$. It sounds great but Its stupid loud, even at 2 it just blows up with sound
Luis Wright
is your amp really loud and you are standing close to it??
I don't know I feel like I learned way more practicing improv than practicing mechanical exercises they're still important and you should know how to travel through scales and modes up and down the neck. If you grind it out for a few weeks you'll get it much quicker than you think, but you can't really utilize that knowledge if you don't make the connection to playing them with a song improv is great because you can utilize all that shit while reinforcing your inner ear and actively feeling the relationships to the tonic you are playing against so it steadily becomes easier to pick up on then when you're playing stuff by other people, their tricks become obvious
Jaxon Rodriguez
I'm using an audio interface and I have everything at the loudest including my guitar.
Leo Diaz
use a noisegate on your PC or whatever you are playing through. I use amplitube with an interface and i get zero noise

Go for the rickenbacker if you can get one, those things are way better than any of the other basses you have on there. But they are a bit more expensive than a P bass. I recommend a J bass if you can get a rickenbacker though
John Parker
That's doesn't fix the problem just hides it. Is there something wrong with my guitar? I bought this humbucker guitar for it to be noiseless and I'm just wondering if the problem is because I'm playing at the loudest settings possible and the humbuckers only cancel so much noise.
Evan Hall
>Power chord transitioning Literally why
Your time would be better spent experimenting with new chord shapes
Jeremiah Torres
what kind of guitar is it? any shielding in the pickup cavity? pickups might be shit
Luke Jones
>it just hides it yeah that is the purpose of it. if you are gonna play high gain with humbuckers you are gonna get noise. No way around it except to hide it like you say.
>I have everything at the loudest Hey, I think I may have located the problem.
Cooper Bennett
I got a 2016 model fender strat hsh which has coil tapping. I was just wondering if it's supposed to do that. Even when I put it in regular volume I can still hear faint noise and I'm playing in the cleanest settings. I might take it to a guitar tech.
Wyatt Ward
post a recording if you can but it's probably normal
Adam Rogers
I only hear it faintly when I put everything in regular volume and thats only if I'm trying to hear the noise. But the thing that confuses me is that I thought that noise only happened when I played with high gain and I'm only recording a clean guitar on max loudness however.
Daniel Hernandez
nothing is wrong with it. quit being a faggot already.
if you are talking about crackingling through your PC then its your computer. try the guitar through a real amp and see the difference in noise.
Adrian Williams
heh
Jordan Torres
Dude, literally all guitars with passive pickups have a noticeable noise floor. Same thing with tube amps - they make noise. Even with the cleanest power and the most grounding and shielding possible there's going to be a bit of noise.
Get active pickups, use a noise gate, or deal with it.
Blake Smith

newfags don't remember old Yea Forums when mods would actually post every now and then, ban messages were personalized, and you didn't have to be reported for a mod to personally ban you from a board for shitposting, insulting their waifu, talking shit about yotsuba, etc
and that was back when you couldn't read the site when you were banned. yeah, that's right. back in my day being banned meant something, and phoneposting didn't exist. only poorfags with dialup and DSL could ban evade without using at least 7 proxies.
Yea Forums meant something back then. there was no quick reply, only noko, you could see sages, and you didn't have to help google develop skynet just to post without giving the mootles III $20 for a Yea Forums gold account.
This. Yea Forums is not a place to learn an instrument. Every question ever asked in these threads could be answered in 30 seconds of using the internet. Music critique is better done in other threads. Actual discussion of guitar is better on literally any actual guitar website like sevenstring. And now we have people like so even humorous shitposting wont happen. Most people giving advice or talking shit legitimately cannot play worth a damn and have no reason to be doing either. I started posting the community pieces because I thought it might actually get people to post playing and talk about what this general is supposed to be about, but everyone is either too shit or too scared of criticism to post their playing so it's pointless. Theres no good reason for this general to exist and the people in it suck.

I want to get a small, portable amp for playing when I travel. About 5-6 months of the year I'm away from home. I had taken my acoustic guitar on my first trip and I loved it but I'm playing more electric lately.
So far I'm looking at a Yamaha THR10 at the moment. I'd prefer a modeling amp, but the most important thing for me is clean tone with nice reverb. I don't really play with gain or any crunch really at the moment. Maybe down the road. Any other options to look at other than the THR10??
Nicholas Lewis
If you're looking for a good portable amp with a clean tone, go for an orange amp or maybe vox.
Adam Sullivan
The combo amps? Gotta admit I'm a fan of a Fender '65 Twin Reverb sound or something close to it.
I want a black or cherry explorer but gibson is only making the wood ones atm. Is reverb the best option? I don't really wanna buy one sight unseen.

Find a solid mexi P-Bass and upgrade the pickups and bridge and you can definitely stay under $1000 with a solid bass. Even better a P-Bass Special, so you get that tasty jazz pickup in the bridge position.

Jesus that's opposite ends of the spectrum, but the Ibanez for sure. Especially if you plan on playing sitting down at all.

Seriosuly? A Fender twin is designed to be loud enough for MSG and you think he’d want to carry it around to play in his apartment.

Are humbuckers mandatory if I want the Santana tone? Or should I fall for the tubes meme? I want that clean violin-like sustain.
Blake Rogers
Explorer ez.
Jaxon Collins
Could probably do it with p90s. Single coils won't be fat enough.
Bentley Hall
play guitar, there's nothing to be proud of for being a wagecuck
Brayden Ramirez
no tone position 4 + fuzz
Dominic Richardson
Clapton used to be called Crapton on account of the farty stink that eminated from his kakabutt.
Aaron Barnes
You’ll need a PRS for that! Santana uses cocobolo tone wood
Sweetwater is the best musical outlet on the internet, fucking hell their customer service is badass. I am never buying anything from anywhere else unless it's at a ridiculously lower price I love those dudes
Cooper Fisher
I watched that video and I can't deny it sounded good. The guy seems like a spastic though. Completely terrible interview partner.
Is there any other color? This boring shit alongside that les paul burst is pretty much the only finish gibson does. Also SG junior or go home.
Ayden Hall
I just read in a Guitar World magazine that the new big thing is squenching a farty log of assbutter out of my stinkhole and mashing it into the guitar. How does this work? I don't get it and I really would rather not waste a stinklog made from my shartplop.
Luke Collins
No, strats are
Brayden Myers
Has anyone ever painted their guitars successfully? I have a godin telecaster which is a great instrument but looks like shit, could use a new coat of paint.
Nicholas Peterson
No other color of SG even comes close to the aesthetic of a white one
Aiden Torres
Whats the best amp for home use? Preferably tube, although that's obviously difficult. Right now i'm running my tube amp pretty much clean with overdrive from pedals, but i would like a more pushed sound at a lower volume. Are all sub 5w combos shit?
Isaiah Bennett
I don't know if you would call it painting, but I once crapped a soupy assload of kaka onto my guitar. It sure was poopy..
Grayson Bell
Yes. Make sure you prep it right. Have you identified the method and finish you wanted to use. Pic rel was done with home depot supplies. Its technically not finished though.
Look into joyo bantamp line. Its perfect for bedroom players and has nifty bluetooth connevtivity so you can play music through it.or backing tracks from your phone.. I use my joyo zombie to play sound from my p.c
Eli Wilson
Yeah, PRS is a legendary unchill and not very nice person. Don't think i've ever seen a good interview with him.
Jayden Perez
if i set my tube amp to 2w mode, the cleans are kinda quiet and shitty, but it gets plenty loud with distortion.
depends more on speaker size desu
Samuel Bailey
Obviously Fender Off sets are the definitive soi guitar
Henry Rivera
Only a gibson is s*y enough
Caleb Allen
AC/DC guitar is the opposite of soi
Carson Hall
>born in le wrong generation!
Hudson Fisher
The 85/81 set is ass and EMG humbuckers with names not ending in X should’t be sold in most cases
Christian Morris
Retard.
Thomas Gonzalez
>he likes compressed, sterile sounding pickups >but dood, METAL! high output! gain! slayer used them! SLAYER!
Some things should have stayed in the 80s
John Lewis
LOL @ all these PRS and Fender s*yfags calling Gibson s*y
Why are you doubling down as retarded? You probably think strats sound sterile and plasticky. Tell that to jeff beck. Just because your skill level doesnt allow you to fully enjoy and use your product doesnt mean it sucks. Maybe you suck. Fucking dumbfuck. I bet youve never used light overdive and played slow blues on an 81 85 set. It sounds great.
Hunter Sullivan
True boomers use fender. Gibson is for boomer larpers.
Strats don't sound sterile and plasticky at all. But the 81/85 only sound even half good in a full mix with full distortion. Even staying within the same company there are a lot of better sounding pickups for solo guitar and less dragonforcey tones.
