I just realized I fucking hate the sound of strat "quack" almost as much as I hate anything described as "crunch" or "brown". The middle pickup is fine though.
What's a better use for positions 2 and 4 on a 5 way switch? Splitting neck/bridge humbuckers on an HSH guitar? Series/parallel?
So you dont like sweet home alabama tone or fusion jazz tone? Faggot
Xavier Clark
My strings cost just as much. They're just not shit.

No, I don't.

what are the girliest guitars and why are they the telecaster and les paul?
if a girl plays electric guitar there's a 99% chance it's one of those two and a 1% chance it's one of those sparkly schecters with a hair band around the headstock.

it can simulate hot pickups or higher gain for passives, without the problems of overwinding or using the gain knob, or just drive actives to the point of clipping, a phenomenon that has led people to believe they can only sound compressed and sterile (when it's just metal babbies putting them up too high and using .13s because more metal = more metal)
the thick and thin tone thing is an oversimplification
Hunter Torres
>Implying that thicker strings under more tension don't sound better >implying they don't reach their resonant frequency faster and vibrate longer >implying the added volume is not a good thing >implying they don't broaden the range of dynamics you can get with smaller picking hand movements
.11s minimum
Justin Campbell
>when it's just metal babbies putting them up too high and using .13s because more metal your saying that it's the kids and zoomers that go for thicker strings is contradictory. starting from that we all know metal babies cant play past 10s.
Noah Evans
they actually do, but in C standard
>dude, heavy
Nicholas Jones
i play 10s in drop c on a 25.5 but anything lower i go to 11s or 12s

They heard a song like "played guitar til mah fingers bled" and figured it applied to giving yourself carpal tunnel.
Based, the middle pickup is the only good strat position

do all of you really like gibsons or do you just want a les paul because of anime? that being said I do like sgs and explorers
Ayden Myers

go ahead, post your chibson faggot
Isaac Nelson
i want a les paul because of les paul, slash, gary moore, buckethead, and peter green. it's just that instead of buying one on ebay like a sucker i'm holding out for a good one.
but i want an ESP snapper because of anime, specifically this cutie
Gibson is even worse dinosaur trash and the les paul shape accompanied by its burst finish rank among the ugliest guitar designs. The strat shape is the logical guitar endgame in terms of aesthetics, it's just that boomer finishes like sunburst and weird design decisions like one volume, two tones and putting a five way switch in a guitar that's only good for the middle pickup were a bit weird. But that's okay. The electric solidbody was rather new and lightning doesn't often strike twice, not even for leo fender.
the prob with your logic is hardtails are maximum boomer
if you got a strat and you aint floatin you should have never got a strat
Tyler Long
Soulless incelcore, the jacob collier of prog
Juan Howard
Now say that in English, kid.
Liam Peterson
the best guitar is a 22 fret strat. just a strat. 9.5 radius. strat body. three pickups. five way switch. master volume, two tones. truss rod in the bottom. But the pickups are vintage-voiced actives, the whammy bar is a floyd rose, and you adjust the tross rod with one of those little wheel thingies.

Christian Turner
every time i read a review someone mentions having to do fretwork
Cameron Flores
Beginner here. When picking should I try to maintain rhythm as if I were strumming by purposefully missing beats, or does it not matter? I ask because I usually do alternate picking but when moving down strings in succession it'll be all down strokes because it feels more natural, but I'm breaking the rhythm by doing so, putting a down stroke where an upstroke is expected. Thanks.
Asher Johnson
Squier CV or Fender Player? I don’t know how to play yet.
Camden Barnes
that's called economy picking, and it's more efficient than alt picking
Colton Hall
I liked it, user. The lyrics need a bit of work though. If by 'breaking the rythm' literally mean that you're messing up the tempo of the melody; stop doing it. If not then that's fine like said
Brody Reyes
the one that looks prettier, unless you're a faggot who needs that fender name on the headstock
if you can try them in person, get the one that doesn't have sharp fret ends and smoothest fret tops, with the strings aligned with the pickup poles and that doesn't have a poorly mounted bridge (slightly offset)
oh, and get big/small frets according to your preference
Carter Allen
>NYXL Snake oil: the strings
Isaac Parker
>>implying they don't reach their resonant frequency faster and vibrate longer The string vibrates at the frequency of the note you're playing, regardless of thickness. You're retarded.
Parker Stewart
thanks can’t decide between these three I am in love with how they all look I do want to play some metal so I’m aware that hunbuckers may be helpful but I really want to play these just looking at them
Metal and single coils don't mash. What about an HH jaguar, strat or jazzmaster? Plenty of them available
Samuel Cook
If you can; go to the shop and ask to try them.
I'd go for the 66 out of the ones you linked, but it's the most expensive and basically a strat.
For a total beginner the below is not a terrible idea. It will have no resale value, but at least you'll have everything to start jamming the moment it gets through your door.
Pro-tip, rocksmith on a PC is much cheaper than buying an Amp and lets you try out a few so you can learn what gain/reverb/delay is.
I'd say lessons should be your main expense in year 1 of learning guitar unless you're a savant when it comes to self teaching.
Caleb Phillips
Apparently I shouldn’t have a jag because the scale length anyway and I’m looking to play more indie/surf but would like the option to play metal should I ever want to.
Cant go to the shop and I’ll be using online resource unfortunately and maybe that sixty six is too much for a beginner. I just love how offsets look and the specs seem close to player and is also the most versatile for me probably apart from two tele coils, it’s a shame the neck isn’t a strat coil. I always read about issues with squier bridges etc but maybe I’ll get that just because it’s cheap (to me).
Alternatively I get a player but I don’t want to play them when I look at them.
Aaron Nelson
What about the player Jaguar as HS? It's got a single jaguar in the neck and a humbucker with coilsplit in the bridge to serve both metal and single coil tones
Kayden Hall
I’m fortunate enough to live near Andertons and still in my 1st year of learning . Every week I fall in love with the look of a different guitar then I go to the shop and look/feel one in person sometimes the stuff that looks good in pictures doesn’t look so good in person or feels horrible for one reason or another.
In the meantime I’m learning on an old Yammy I was given then I spend £40-50 getting it professionally set up. Saving up for my 1 year learning anniversary I will buy a guitar then but I’ve changed my mind every week on what I want. Don’t spend over 200 quid on a guitar you’ve not even held.
Sebastian Johnson
A note is a frequency, retard, he's talking about tension. If you install an A string and try to tune it to D, it will take less windings to reach that note
Ayden Ross
I know it’s stupid but honestly it’s just the look and the circuit missing. I’m still considering the sixty six.
As far as high end squier vs lowest fender I have no idea. The squier is definitely more visually attractive and cheaper (I probably wouldn’t even be able to tell a difference between that or a more expensive guitar in the first year or two anyway?)
Yeah that’s why idk really but then I may never get something more expensive with that mindset.
Christopher Rogers
Why do you want the 66, it sounds like shit Just get a tele or a 3pup tele
Some say thicker strings sustain less because of the increased tension
Ayden Morales

Yeah I would really like a strat neck and tele mid pup.
Benjamin Hernandez
I did it once and I regret it, that's gay and retarded. I did sand my Les Paul's neck joint tho for playability reasons and I don't regret it

Nice chibson, Sam
Ryder Anderson
What did you do to sand it and why? I'm curious
Austin Butler
Naturally worn down guitars through ages are unique and tell a story about the player. Purposefully scratched out "aesthetics" only tell that the user is a fucking drooling cretin, and those are definitely not unique. The world is full of them. You're even more of a dumb fuck than the dumbasses that buy prefaded and pre-torn jeans.
Jayden Adams
Lmfao you dont regret that warped neck? Post a pic of the neck again so we can all laugh at your dumbass.
Luis Foster
Bring it to a tech in a near city to get a fret job done Or risk trying to do it yourself from YouTube tutorials
I barebacked a tranny and took one month of PEP and took a test 3 months later and was clean.
Just sandpaper To improve the access to the upper frets since I have small hands. After sanding it's super easy to play there
None of my guitars have a warped neck. The p bass I bought lately had a warped neck (i bought it from a nigger whose roof fell on the day he shipped the guitar) but my luthier fixed it

I would have hoped it's something I could adjust without doing anything irreversable like a saddle adjustment or some shit but it does look like an issue with one of the frets and I'm going to have to put up with my squier for now.
James Reyes

Nope I have a RGX121z a friend gave me. It’s the other guy looking to buy a fender, I’m the one who’ll told him to buy a budget starter pack and spend his remaining money on lessons.
I also mentioned I’ve fallen in love with a lot of pictures of guitars then don’t like the look or feel when I actually pick one up in person.

How do you think making fake scars on a guitar may improve playability?

Yes usually
Evan Ross
Yea my recordings make you butthurt. You already heard them. Figure oit how to make more money yet? Dad dead yet?
Ethan Bell
Then tell me, why doesn't your shitplank bass say P-bass on the headstock? That's because you can't, because if they did so and argued your logic, they would get buttfucked by Fender and die faster than your dad is dying
Adam Bailey
Lol I would be ashamed to call myself a musician if I was such a faggot that can't even play a C shape chord
Jason Lewis
So would i. Who ever that guy is should keep practicing. >imagine everything you own is a cheap fake of something used by westerners. Hows your sm57 lmfao
Yeah I'm so butthurt that you bought a shitty interface and can't do anything with it other than DI recordings into fucking vocaroo. How can I ever recover?
Because it's not a trademark fender product? You sound like you never hung you with other musicians in your life. Anyone would call it a luthier P bass.
This is actually sad, I pity you

The p pickup in that bass has a lot of bark to it. So if you mildly blend in the j pickup it helps mellow it out. Gives a alternative option to just rolling the tone knob down.

Oh no, so much magnetic pull from a single coil alnico pickup on these .35 strings of yours!! It's gonna destroy your sensible tone!
user use iceberg lettuce instead, shredded, it's easier to clean and handle, and doesn't change the flavor as much as romaine cut your onions thinner and put them on the pan for a bit too
Still too far away. I do this thing where I pick and do a volume swell with my pinky in one motion and it sounds like a violin, but I can only do it on a strat.
just make a ball of ground meat, then put it on the pan and smash and drag it, it's not gonna come out perfectly round but that's how they do it at most fast food places, since the meat is still fresh it won't lose any juice then you flip it and put the cheese on top

the F chord is easier if you have a fender-radius fretboard. 7.25 is the absolute easiest F you'll ever play.
due to the usefulness of that chord shape in folk and country i believe the fucking F chord is why fender guitars were made that way. leo fender sought input from random mediocre guitarists, and they said >the F chord is too damn hard man, it's hard to make my finger that straight! the fretboard just doesn't fit it!
Gavin Green

he has no friends or companions in real life so he's resorted to attempting to relate to a thread on Yea Forums that hates him because it's the only attention he gets
Always double check your tuning and use a metronome when you record - your timing is off in several areas and you sound out of tune on the G and/or B string. Vary how hard you pick the string in areas to add some dynamics - there were areas that could have used a softer touch to drive the feeling you were going for home a bit better.
Thanks for sharing.
