Friendly reminder that Fender is just as bad as Chinkboard shit. Fender is low quality shit with the name Fender on the headstock so people think it's good

Ok so I will be testing this set up on the weekend.
Someone in last thread was telling me to try >Scarlet solo>PC Amp simulator>Power Amp>Speakers. Sounds good but the only practical way to get my PC sound to my receiver is to cast it over wifi (Unless I move my PC into the living room)
Also I've been recommended Axe FX units, which seem like a good idea but expensive.
huh neat since july 1 is when everyone moves here in montreal I just found a peavey envoy 110 in the trash seems to be an 80's model and its 35w i'm impressed how loud this tiny thing is also found two shitty boss pedals a tin whistle wooden recorder and a ukulele
sadly I play bass and have an amp hopefully I can sell it they seem to go for at least 100$ who the fuck throws out a perfect fine amp god damn hipster man
Funny i was just watching him yesterday because im looking into biying the emf set and his new jackson model looks lime a guitar hero guitat. Currently listening to rust in piece album.
Aiden Brown
Is that even guitar?
Oliver Wright
that's a keyboard but if you want this kind of vibe I'd say to use the 1st or 3rd position on a strat, compression, and a super small amount of drive.
the important part of this kind of a guitar tone comes from how you play! try picking every note really close to the bridge and use your thumb to pluck out lower notes to make them pop
Jason Brooks
>Broke two high E strings today wtf bros am I doing something wrong?
Gabriel Kelly
no they make those break easily so that you have to buy strings more often
what would that be? I broke another one 2 weeks ago and I'm tired of buying strings
William Gonzalez
What are you doing when they break?
Aiden Bennett
buy thick gauge strings for man-hands not gay hands, gaylord

That reminds me, does anybody sell anything that's the opposite of skinny top/heavy bottom? As in, heavy top/skinny bottom Or is one of those custom string set sites my only option?

Don't have enough space to keep a proper amp in the house. Already have everything but the 1/4 to RCA cable in the house. Seems like an easy way to turn my 5 watt modelling amp into a 100 watt amp with high quality speakers.
Also I've got the impression the Fender GT40 is a decent modelling amp with crap speakers. If the THR works decently I will try the same with a GT40. A cheap small modelling amp with sound optical out would be ideal. Maybe a cheap version of an Axe FX but I don't know much about the market for these things.
I listen to all my music on those speakers already, it's just a case of getting a good signal to the amp without spending much money or buying anything physically large.
Jaxon Ortiz

Here's a change of pace. Put a song to Rainymood. 20 or 30% volume on rainymood seems to do the trick with most music I've tried so far. I'll start us off.
Singer songwriter, was trying out a pub that gives 45 minute sets rather than the standard 3 song open mic. To be fair the three people who walked out were the band on before me and they were absolutely godawful, The Shaggs have better pitch than the lead singer.

Where are they breaking? If it's at the bridge, you have a bur there. If it's at the tuner, you have a bur there. If it's at the nut, you have a bur there. If it's anywhere else, I can't help you. Buy better strings.
Kevin Bailey
Is it a faux pas to bring my laptop and digital interface to Guitar Center so I can test how they sound through my home setup? More importantly, will they kick me out?

wouldn't it be better to learn some strings first before you learn chords Also i recommend the Hal Leonard guitar method book complete. comes 3 whole books should take you 3-4 months on each book with 2 hours of practice a day.

It really depends what you want to do. I focused entirely on learning songs and two years later I’m a competent acoustic fingerstyle guitarist and I have written over twenty songs I’m pleased with. I absolutely loved learning songs and then working on my own take on them. As yet I haven’t found any need for lead guitar for my style of playing, I’ll occasionally noodle with the major scale but that’s it.
Cameron Torres
Umm guys, while I was lowering the bridge the fucking finish on the back of the neck just cracked! I can feel it while Im playing the guitar, is there a quick DIY fix? haaalp
It's alright. Kinda sounds like your voice is more crooning big-band style and it sounds a bit odd over standard folky chord stuff. Guitar sounds nice though
I have an opposite problem, I want to sing 80s power ballads but my voice is too folk. Can't choose our voices unfortunately
Bentley Watson
my teacher played it just fine in front of me
so you pros who play guitar, bass and piano every fucking day of the year and do concerts all the time and have 8000 gears and know all the guitar types and picks and plugs have no literal excuse against a novice-tier improvisation song

never asked for jazz experts here just asked for you to play it cuz everybody can do it my regular music school classmates with lot of differen it is something to be expected in a general about guitar players and the like
this is guitar and bass general
jesus i wonder what you guys replied to your teachers when they asked you to "just try to improvise a little". "lmao dude i dont play jazz. fuck you, metal forever!!!! lml"

btw that one is fine i am not asking for something complicated lol

By comparison here's me going full Scottish folk, I don't always do the crooning thing.
Why spend precious hours of my time learning to play a genre of music I don't listen to and have no interest in becoming proficient at you retard? Jazz isn't the only genre of music with improvisation. It has its own idiosyncrasies I find annoying so I'm not going to bother trying to learn how to play the music my grandpa listened to. Also

When the jam session turns into a frotting session again
You can solo through most of this in D minor, specifically D dorian. The Cmaj7-G7 and minor ii-V-i cadences will all sound good with D minor licks. You can jump outside to something in Ebm7 over the minor ii-V tritone sub in bar 15, but be ready to bring it back to Dm7 quickly in the next bar. I'd actually through the tune a few times focusing on that key change, and let your ears find the best melody.
You can play some cool altered licks over that Bb7 to A7 part at bar 27, maybe by moving an D dorian line up by minor thirds? Or play a Bb whole tone scale run finishing on a G major arpeggio?

sliced my finger sliding. really not a huge deal but it stings when I go for bar chords. It'll probably heal by tomorrow but is there anyway I can keep practicing?
Maple boards have a finish on them. Metal strings are harder than wood finish. Eventually it wears off. Raw wood gets dirty.

Nathaniel Young
Any recommendations on a Les Paul-style guitar for a poorfag who has been playing for about 10 years? I was thinking on going with something from the LTD EC series, but since ESP is a major brand, i wonder if i could get a better deal on a guitar from a smaller company.
This post is barely coherent, sorry for sleepy grammar.
Samuel Sullivan
lucky
Caleb Peterson
Buy a used LP
Gabriel Hughes
What do you consider a poorfag? You can find a decent used Les Paul for 5 or 600. Check out Gretsch jets too.
>lp i went for an epi genesis instead, thats a pretty poorfag guitar for you too.
Gabriel Hill
LTD EC10000 with Duncans is a great value. But only if you like big frets and flatter radius. I prefer 12" radius and slim taper on my Gibson. My EC has a D/U shape which is fine too. It sounds really good. You get a lot of guitar for $800 or w/e. I bought mine like 7-8 years ago when they were made in Korea. I think they are made in Indonesia now. Probably still solid.
Jaxon Jackson
does anyone know of the existance of a floyd rose bridge with a piezo in it?

no but better install a midi pickup instead in your snow flake build.

graphtech makes some, apparently whether they're worth the $300 is up to you though
split coils can do everything single coils can so HHH

D'Angelico Premier series.
Charles Robinson
split coils don't sound the same as real alnico polepiece single coils the baseplate and steel slugs sap some of the high end and leave you with something that's inbetween a single coil and a p90
Have any of you ever played a Tweed Champ style amp? I’ve been interested in one lately, as I only play at my apartment and at mic’d gigs. Does it have enough power for that? Also, does the 8” speaker leave you longing for a bigger one, or is that actually a good size?
They are loud enough to cause permanent hearing damage but not loud enough to drown out a drummer in a noisy bar.
Parker Wood
guitar tuna is fucking up for me. I strum my e chord and it says its an A. then I strum it again and it says I'm only +2. does it do this for anyone else
Lucas Thomas
Ok, I’ve kinda thought about a Tweed Deluxe as the alternative, as it could sound good at reasonable volumes but still push past some noise.
I admire people with minimalistic rigs but as much as I want to be them, I can't stand teles, les pauls, and strats like they all play. I like "metal" guitars the most, and acoustics the second most. Other than that I can't stand to play other electric guitars.
Landon Scott
they played those because they were old and that's all the good shit there was back then.
there are lots of people playing today who plug an ibanez right into the amp and shit out some jazz licks.
Levi Harris
What kind of picks do you guys use? I used to favor Jazz IIIs but I recently started to use these more.
>every single coil is an alnico polepiece fender pickup

Because they realized that Toanwood is a meme, and thus they want as little wood on their guitars as possible.
Holy shit these are dirt cheap. I had bought an OC-3 for bass duty on recordings but it leaves me craving actual bass in some cases. Might have to pick up one of these.
Cooper Adams
You’re probably restringing them too tight, give about 4-5 frets worth of release before tuning up with the new string
Andrew Garcia
Tuned to pitch is going to be the same tension, no matter how much slack you have at the beginning. Pull it tight or wrap the whole string, doesn't matter. Tension will be the same when you get it to pitch either way.

gonna buy a guitar from a pawn shop what do i look for so i dont get scammed
Angel Brooks
because the customers are retarded boomers and impressionable youngins who believe everything boomers say so fender american strats are often made to sound as vintage as they look
1: not playing baby boomer rock covers? the very first thing you do with a strat is replace the pickups 2: never buy brand new strat, is like buying brand new AK-47, waste of money, is same thing even when used
but you know if you didn't want to larp as vintage, as if traditions founded by pop music mattered, you'd buy a kiesel or something.
I meant what pedal. Also I’m not buying a Gibson bass in 2019.
Robert Murphy
Vintage strats might be a pop and rock music guitar associated with stoner hippies and drug-abusing clowns but most other vintage guitars are more known for more respectable playes

right cheers so if I'm planning to slave away alone in my room for a while, it doesn't hurt to learn some guitar first and maybe then try bass when I understand some music?
Bentley Carter
No, but everybody plays guitar and the guitar in this is pretty basic.
Bass is for playing funk, maybe jazz, or playing in a band.
It's not a solo/virtuoso instrument for genres like rock, country, folk, etc. It's below even drums for that.
This guy is just a hipster who thinks guitar is too mainstream and isn't impressed unless you're the science baby of yngwie and bach.
Nicholas Gutierrez

Luis White
virtuoso bass and drums exist in those genres...
Jaxson Cruz

Brayden Evans
In such small numbers that "rock band bassist" is an insult.
Caleb Hall
I’m not that guy. That “virtuoso” stuff is boring. I just meant that it’d be cool to have more bassists who apply themselves rather than have more guitarists that play a few chords lazily with reverb. (Although the guitar part around 2:04 is pretty cool).

great. more shit i gotta learn. I could just sit down and play what sounds good.
knowing how to be a massive tool that does whatever the other "underground" bands are doing while pretending you're being original and unique
Dylan Parker
It depends what kind of person you are. Bass parts are typically a lot simpler but you have to be much more aware of the groove and being "in the pocket" than a guitarist. Typically, I find that if you pay attention to harmony and rhythm you're probably a bassist, if you listen mostly to the melody a guitarist.
Jackson Carter
Play a piano and it would be easier to learn theory because of the layout but it's all the same game. You are not counting the open strings you are barring, F is the lowest not C but that doesn't really matter if what you are intending to play is an F chord as it just needs to consists of the notes that make it. F A C on Piano but guitar has those open strings which you gotta account for being played or not. F barr chord on Guitar plays F C A F C F
Graphtech A3 Warms (beige) .88 They are the only picks that I can use for both electric and acoustic playing. Before, I used Dunlop Gel .76 for electric and 1.00 for acoustic.
