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?

No, I don't.

Neither are mine. Just steel and nickel.

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.

more string mass = more response from the pickup

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

>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

>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.

they actually do, but in C standard

>dude, heavy

i play 10s in drop c on a 25.5 but anything lower i go to 11s or 12s

...so???
retard 9s in C gets buzzy and shitty unless you play like a girl

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

Soulless incelcore, the jacob collier of prog

Now say that in English, kid.

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.

I feel the same, i'm realizing some people out there feel like this...

I don't know man that guitar looks pretty cool

Shut the fuck up Kurt Kobain

just practice arpeggios and scale runs over and over and experiment with different intervals

no but I'm still buying the fuck out of an st-90 anyway

every time i read a review someone mentions having to do fretwork

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.

Squier CV or Fender Player? I don’t know how to play yet.

that's called economy picking, and it's more efficient than alt picking

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

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

>NYXL
Snake oil: the strings

>>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.

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

Which would you suggest?

andertons.co.uk/squier-classic-vibe-60s-jazzmaster-laurel-fingerboard-olympic-white

andertons.co.uk/squier-classic-vibe-70s-jaguar-laurel-fingerboard-black

andertons.co.uk/fender-sixty-six-maple-fingerboard-natural-0145022321

Metal and single coils don't mash. What about an HH jaguar, strat or jazzmaster? Plenty of them available

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.

andertons.co.uk/cool-stuff/best-for-beginners/best-electric-guitars-for-beginners/eastcoast-gs500-redburst-electric-guitar-bundle-w-amp-accessories

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

>Boomer finish like sunburst
You mean the best finish?

Anyone else get the itch to scratch up or make your guitar unique to you?

Thank you. I had no idea it was called economy picking, I guess I'll keep doing it.

What's with all the faggotry that's consumed this thread? Why you discuss so much the looks of the Finnish?

>Soulless incelcore, the jacob collier of prog
Sorry he's not playing a 4 chord song with lyrics about break ups and exes

Offsets and natural finish are my favourite things visually on a guitar.
Jazz bass shape is nice and feels nice when I’ve held one before.

Yeah I would really like a strat neck and tele mid pup.

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

I really wish Samuel wouldn't be full of AIDS and on the way to see his dad :(

I don't have aids.

That's exactly what Sam would say if he didn't have aids.
God I wish that were true

>G string on the 15th fret doesn't ring at all unless I raise the bridge to retarded height (mustang bridge)

Nice chibson, Sam

What did you do to sand it and why? I'm curious

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.

Lmfao you dont regret that warped neck?
Post a pic of the neck again so we can all laugh at your dumbass.

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

Solid.

Shredders practice that shit for untold hours and know enough music theory to actually write those solos.

How´s pops ?

>Bring it to a tech in a near city to get a fret job done
I'm shit out of luck because I won't be getting my driver's license back for probably another month and the nearest somewhat civilised place in my country is a 3 and a half hour bus ride at like 18 bucks one way. 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.

Great

I mean why did it benefit playability.

Yeah from what you said it's a fret problem
Buy some tools on the internet and do it yourself

>My P-bass, which isn't made by fender

Kek, I'm glad your dad is on his merry way out, I wouldn't be able to stand having such a faggot of a son

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?

I might be down with trying to do something like that on my cheapass squier for practice, but there's no way I'm going to ruin an expensive instrument just to mess around and pretend like I know what I'm doing. Waiting's my only choice I guess.

What happens if you break a glued in neck or break its truss rod? Can it be replaced or repaired?

Yes usually

Yea my recordings make you butthurt. You already heard them. Figure oit how to make more money yet? Dad dead yet?

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

Well, I'm sure there are. I was talking about the body shape, not the appointments. I'm not looking for the exact one you saw.

The one I saw is quite pointy in the body department

I don't like 'quack' either: series sounds are much better.

Crunch is just medium overdrive, though: if you don't like it, you're saying you only like sparkly cleans or full-on gain.

"Brown" is a term that a lot of people seem to use differently, the only thing really in common with the various definitions being lots of gain.

Like one of the 3 I posted?

Yeah, but more like No 4

About to start taking guitar lessons what's the best way to get the most out of them?

Will adding a middle pickup to my Telecaster get me a tone good enough to play Yellow Ledbetter?

Kirk definitely envies the feeling I'd get from hitting it big. It is a mere memory for him.

The Jpup isn't necessary

Fuck this is cringey

She's fucking weird-looking, my man. But then I guess you're not fussy at this point.

>Kurt Cobain in 2019

You sir are right. I love my pj bass

The black one

>not believing a pj setup gives you the best tonal variety over a single p pickup or double j

>he doesnt know wires suck tone

If I wanted the J sound, I'd get a J.
Why would you destroy the best, most ubiquitous, most classic sounding single P-bass pickup with a J bass pickup? It makes it sound thinny as fuck.
Tonal variety is fucking overrated when your bass sounds like ass.

>Imagine believing that bass tone matters

Cool. Good price

It might give you tonal variety, but that variety is not needed. P pickup is superior.

Did "switch" and "separate volume knobs" technology have not come to your shithole countryside yet?

I just dont know what i would do with it tho

>he asks in hilariously broken English

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.

>OK guys when I press this switch and turn up this volume knob my Precision pick-up can now sound like total shit with added magnetic piss on top.
God bless the 1st world.

Excuse me, English is my third language.
Meanwhile I can sound the P pickup alone on my PJ bass if I want to

Play it

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!

Why does everyone but fender do this

And why does fender even do it on some of their humbucker equipped strats

I LIKE the volume knob there, I just don't like strats.

Agreed.

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

>Handlet
Just the pinkies. I've been told I have small pinkies. Like, I can fret with my thumb but the pinky, unlike the other fingers, is so disproportionately short that it's the only one that can't arch over the strings

>Custom guitar
>Too poor for
Ultimately it's cheaper than getting the same quality out of a ready made guitar. Just takes a lot more effort.

Can you fuck off mcdonalds employee of the year? I know what the fuck i like.

You dont see my whole seed mustard fucking retard? Youre obviously reyarded dont reply to me anymore.

>mustard
>not making your own flavorful spread
0/10 user enjoy your shitger

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!

>dont reply to me anymore.
I'm sorry, but when you say this you're essentially admitting you've lost and are asking him for mercy.

Why, would he do this?? Is his mental state deteriorating, was he raised an ignorant? Is he just a cretin? Find out next episode

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

Learning CAGED after having put it off for longer than I'd like to admit. Why are the G and D barre shapes so difficult?

It's 900fag who's making burgers. Sammy's actually look even worse.

New thread:

I was talking about his dad and his chewing kaka with mouth wide open.
Pretty spot-on analysis of Sammy tho

I like "quack" and "brown," but not too fond of "crunch." Sounds too dry and brittle. I like distortion to be thick, moist, and seething.

more like GAYGED

What with all the broad sweeping revisions to music theory in the last year, we got a lot of editing to do.

>vocaroo.com/i/s1Oh7Mcou2bO

I see what you were going for I think.

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.

if you listened to the recording, i played an F chord, an Fm7 actually

Because fuck you, that's why. Do your one-minute changes for a few weeks and you'll be fine.

I "maintain" it. Link what you want uploading and I'll do it when I'm done with working nights.

That's it, Fender is for the mediocre.

do you mean out of tune on the acoustic or electric
my acoustic was found in a dumpster and as for the electric i probably just hit a few wrong notes cause it was all made up on the spot n shiet
blues and jazz improv n sheit mane
but yeah, my timing tends to be a little off on my lead guitar work, i try to work on it but for now it's just a "creative choice" to play a little out of the rhythm until i get good

You can shred with just pentatonics.

I don't make burgers retard, I buy them made. It's so much better and they don't look like the aberration above

prs is great position for swells

It's not just music theory. It's guitar-centric material and tab books and shit like that, you dumb faggot.

>I buy them made
Made with gutter oil.

How can I fix a cracked finish easily at home? (It doesn't look so bad but feels like shit)
