Yui also composed some genuinely sickass tunes on her genuine Gibson™ Les Paul Standard. Can you share some of your own genuinely written genuinely sickass tunes that you composed on your genuinely sickass genuine Gibson™ Les Paul Standard?
This is the guitar general, not the house decoration general. I'm glad for your sickass room decor piece. I feel your pain over not having a /deco/ board, but that's no reason to shit up a thread made for genuine musicians, okay?

i think guitars are like pcs
the best thing to do is buy the best quality parts you can for your price point and either assemble it yourself or pay someone locally to do it
the fact that an electric guitar is such a simple machine means that its endlessly customizable and theres no need to buy something that doesnt perfectly fit your needs and is overpriced off the rack just because it has a brand name

Why are you so slow? Do it more often, use the key signature to your advantage to help you figure out a chords function in the progression. I analyze songs on the fly, but I've also been building up jazz chords forever too, so I recognize chords and their inversions immediately.

Ukeleles sound terrible 100% of the time. It doesn't matter how well you can play it, it sounds awful.

>Why are you so slow? i'm not sure part of it is because i have to count semitones for everything like i can't just think G# C oh that's 4 semitones i have to manually count A A# B C oh that's 4 semitones
Kayden Moore
So many times, this. Playing a uke instead of a guitar is like playing the top two octaves of an upright instead of a full grand.
Brody Clark
if youre not a 400 pound polynesian man you have no business playing the ukelele. thats cultural appropriation and its wrong
Leo Young
I don't think of distance in half steps, I think of intervals which I check against the key signature. First thing to do is stack the chord up in Tertiary Form to ensure you know what you're working with, that requires no counting. I'd almost have to do a video to demonstrate it, but it's a much faster system to operate in.
Aiden Morris
This is completely fine. Like the other user already said; just do it more often.

Robert Richardson
cool non-sequitur post, i'd give you gold if i could! weren't you complaining about ad-hominems just a moment ago?
Julian Peterson
Yeah, you'll have to memorize the system of intervals by pairing a Quantity(determined by the scale degree distance represented on the staff, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc) and the Quality(determined by the amount of half steps the interval is away: Major, Minor, Perfect, Augmented, Diminished).
It's ultimately the first step to analyzing chord progressions, transposing, and fast chord building. I have a system for expected intervals that I usually write out for my students who want to take theory that far. I'll take a pic of it if I can find paper and a pen.
Julian Howard
No, I am not the guy who misused the term "ad hominem". This was my first post in the conversation. Here's my second one. Your opinions are completely irrelevant and shit because of the fact that you are a newfag. This is an ad hominem, and there is nothing wrong with it.

I know all 5 positions of the blues scale. Still can't get out of the minor pentatonic box and just keep playing the same licks. Listening to BB King non-stop and still can't get it.
Getting bored now tbqh, I've been playing for years and still can't improvise for shit
Best advice is to think about the chord shapes that you're playing over. Pick up the book Chord Tone Soloing by Barrett Tagliarino. If I was starting again I wouldn't have spent as much time on scales as I did in the beginning.
Leo Gutierrez

Cooper Russell
if you arent using locking tuners youre a pleb
Asher Long
It doesnt. The guy doesnt know what hes talking about he cant even spell the name of the brand right. Loys of windings is good for classical guitars anf floyd rose equipped guitars. If it break at the bridge you just unwind and feed more. On a hardtail guitar it makes no difference
Leo Allen
It can work in any context. I remember there was a Guitar World interview with Marty Friedman and he said that he only thinks about the notes of the chords he's playing over. Although he does play scalar runs in his music too.
Of course, stay with the scales. The pentatonic scale is a very handy tool to have under your belt and can work for a lot of different chords. You just don't have to play and "think" A minor pentatonic over a chord progression that's in A minor. You can play E minor pentatonic too. Alex Machacek's Pentatonic Concept's DVD goes into this in more detail. Yes, he's a fusion player, but the idea can be applied to rock / metal as well.

I've been playing many years although self-taught. I have big hands and no problem thumbing bass notes and fingering barre chords the way he did. Never had any problems before other than occasional wrist pain due to my long arms and tiny cuck wrists.
Adrian Parker
Thumb position, arching your fingers and using the tips, and how you hold the whole guitar (should be over your left leg with the neck higher up and angled slightly towards you. your left leg must be slightly propped up to do this)

I just feel like unless you have some abnormally long and dexterous fingers you really cant to anything wrong with them when wrapping your thumb over the low E like you have to do with hendrix stuff

You dont know what your talking about obviously and just want to be a retarded troll
Going heavy full step+ dives on a non-locking trem will slightly unwind strings at the tuners and cause them to be slightly off when they return to tension
>mom won't let me be hardcore so i act hardcore on the internet
Next you'll probably say going up or down more than a half step is tremolo abuse and then call me a slayer fan
Carter Sanchez
In my experience, you don't ever have to use your thumb for anything on the fretboard for any reason. Cross-Fret Barres tend to do the job.
Aiden Fisher
sorry i dont speak caveman
consider joining us in the future in a few years, when youve finished restringing your guitar
Ian Clark
If you're thinking about the chord shape then you should be thinking about the notes in the chord. Thinking about chord shapes helps players to connect the dots on the fretboard.

You're a fucking idiot. Learn how to wind your strings. All that using locking heads does is tell everyone you're too stupid to figure out how to wind strings.

Oliver Williams
Jazz cat here. Assuming you know most of the basic scales this is what you want to do.
>Practice more arpeggios. ALWAYS PRACTICE ARPEGGIOS >Keep practicing the scales you know but pay extra attention to the tonics (root if you will) within them. You're probably already doing this but I mean really obsess over those fucking tonics, man. >Work on adding chromatic concepts into your improvisation. >Transcribe phrases you like and steal them. Literally just steal them. >Always study more music theory. Seriously. >Do more ear training.
Studying music theory is a severely underrated tool and if you use it in conjunction with fretboard exploration and ear training you'll be breaking out of old, milquetoast habits before you know it. Improvisation doesn't really 'click' (imo) until you break free from fretboard systems. It's important to use these systems in the beginning but as you develop theoretical and practical knowledge you'll undoubtedly create your own 'system' of associations and relationships.
Evan Barnes

Go back to plebbit newfriend.
Justin Price
When you build chords, they're comprised of notes. A shape gives you only one way to play something, but chords, especially in jazz like to change and you might have make additions or compensate for accidentals. You can't think of music in shapes and do a decent enough job, have to think about where the notes are on the fretboard and maybe even make a decision as to how the important voices should move from one chord to the next to avoid huge leaps.
Gavin Wright
keep to your limited playing style. youre not worth the time
Charles Howard
>Going heavy full step+ dives on a non-locking trem will slightly unwind strings at the tuners and cause them to be slightly off when they return to tension
Use lubrication. The best lube I have found is Schumacher moly grease. It's made for radio controlled cars but works very well on guitars. Put some on the nut and the bridge and anywhere else the string contacts the guitar - apart from the string trees.
Ian Richardson
Can you do barre chords?

Locking tuners are for making string changes faster, that's about it. I can also see the argument for being useful on a non-locking trem, but if you wind your strings correctly, that's not a problem either.
Nicholas Cooper
lame analogy bro
Julian Kelly
I've seen exactly three good guitars shilled here this week: Fender Mustang ESP Snapper ESP M-II
And that's because they were all played by anime girls
/gg/ wouldn't know a good guitar unless it was played by an anime girl
Brody Perry
The idea is that when you wrap your thumb over the low E you have more fingers free to play around within the scale, without breaking the chord. I would frankly love to see you play the little wing intro line, note for note, without wrapping your thumb over.
Hudson Hall
>Wind your strings correctly
You tie a double knot with the last wind so it won't unwind if you do a divebomb?
David Jones
changing strings faster is a godsend for anyone who plays live often, as well as being generally convenient
it's either/or, there's no downside to locking tuners
Bentley Fisher
that's some elementary barre chord shit
can you really not move your fingers while doing a barre chord
Ian Sanders
Not really. My point is that the hendrix thumb technique is not necessary and more of a showmans gimmick. Also hendrix stole all the cool stuff from buddy guy. Your precious zambo wasnt as impressive as the jews want you to believe. Buddy guy is 10x the player and still alive
>there's no downside to locking tuners I didn't say there was. Some people will argue that the more winds on your tuners, the better the tone. But then, some people argue that the color paint makes a difference as well.

i think its funny that the point your making is that the guy who used to light his guitars on fire did a little move with his thumb to show off, instead of it just being a comfortable way to do what he wanted to do
stuff is worth doing if its comfortable and makes the sound you want, end of story as far as im concerned. its dumb to look at a technique and say its not necessary because someone can always use it musically
Carson Rivera
jesus christ, how do several people in this thread treat barre chords as gate keeping material, its as if they started playing two months ago

Nolan Edwards
is it something i should upgrade right away or only when i find that i need to?
Ryan Garcia
Sure but on the comfort aspect i prefer my thumb under the middle of the neck. Makes its easier for long stretches and legato in general. At the end of the day its a gimmick and we both know it. Not trying to stop you tho by all means play whats most comfortable to you
Charles Allen
Might have to get to my studio first and then I'll post it, should be there in an hour or so. I notice no one has ever wrote the Interval system out the way that I did, but I think it might have been in a text book of mine. Apparently I wrote it out for my girlfriend at the time because she was struggling to figure out how Intervals work.
William Torres
>there's no downside to locking tuners More mechanical parts for virtually no benefit is, in fact, a downside.
Jeremiah Harris
I believe they also sell greener veraions of mint pickguards. My strat is all stock so this is what came with it
Beyond that, having your thumb behind the neck allows it to act like a pivot/focal point for the hand. I can keep thumb in the same spot and jump an octave distance on the same string. Having the thumb over the guitar and the palm of the hand touching/gripping the neck absolutely kills stretch distance for me. It the difference between stretching maybe 5 frets(1-5) to being able to stretch 8(1-8). This in turn gives me the ability to reach chords easier and faster with less strain.
Aaron King
Are there any differences in the black finishes offered by fender?
Sebastian Jackson
Well, so much for that statement from Gibsons CEO.
Huh. When did i say that? No its all stock. Vmods with shawbucker.
Wyatt Lee
i want you to sit down for what im gonna tell you next
you can move your hand depending on the notes you need to hit
Julian Hughes
Yes this is my exact point. If you want to pretend youre hendrix it will limit your movement. I guess for boomers that dont use their pinky movement and playability is secondary to comfort
Michael Clark
Then who was it that swapped the neck on their US strat?

Im not sure. I remember the agilefag personality had an american special that he bought a clapton neck off of warmoth for. It was roasted

Indie(more bedroom and dreamy)/Surf/Psych I could list a million bands I like but they all use different gear anyway, a mix of jags/jms/teles and strats. I have only ever played bass so I don't care about short or long scale when I have held in store. No.
Jonathan White
okay, i know i'm not out of tune, stop this meme the chords wouldn't harmonize with the voice if i was
I started out as a bass player too and in your case I recommend the Jazzmaster. Jaguar scale is too small and uncomfortable for me, as a bass player. You should care about it, next time you got to the store stop being an idiot and compare the neck on the Jazzmaster to the neck on the Jaguar, there's a huge difference, specially in the upper frets. Also get what your favorite guitar players uses, if you ask me.

Well I came up with this (pic related) a few days ago by cutting down a Fender triangle pick, and loved it. Then I realized it's basically the Tortex sharps, so I figured I'd try them. I also like the standard JazzIIIs, so I figured I'd try the bigger ones.
Name some good, portable bass combo amps. I'm sick of lugging around my Acoustic stack.

Nathaniel Flores
I'm pretty sure this will be the final nail in their coffin. Most of the patents have expired or they simply have not enforced it in so long that they'll be dismissed. And I figure guitar shape/technology court precedents won't be in their favor, either. They'll lose, pay out the wazoo, and go even further broke.
Ian Mitchell
I'm serious, I would never buy used
Hunter Bennett
Have any of you tried the player jaguar bass? Sounds really good desu
Jaxon Gutierrez
Intervals for that one user, sorry my handwriting is putrid. This shows the system at least, it's basically short hand so you don't have to count but it requires memorization up to a point. The method I use involves this being memorized, with having an understanding of the exceptions that can occur within this, and marrying this system to knowing the key signatures for easy reference as to what note should be within a given key. I've been doing it for so long I almost never think about.
I marked all the intervals, with a star, that appear in a major scale from the root of that scale. This is beneficial if you know your key signatures because you can know immediately how far away something is just by knowing the accidentals in a key.
which is the less shitter in this instance for someone too poor for a real one? HS jag or HH jm lol

Samuel Price
I listened to the player strat and its pups sound thin compared to my vmods.
I tried the strat and tele and didn't like either very much. My rule of thumb is that you should put in at least 800 or 900 bucks to buy a single coil guitar unless you want to modify it yourself. Almost everything below that sounds pretty bad for some reason. Humbuckers don't have this problem.
>get the classic vibe/vintage modified squiers, they're honestly pretty decent
I hear they are supposed to be but aren't they still pretty shit in the grand scheme? I've never owned a squier but I can't believe that quality can be as good as a MIM despite what people say because surely it would make MIM pointless? and apparently basswood will just fall apart from anything
it's a real shame my options for any real jaguar or jazzmaster is a squier/vintera and even those vintera are pretty steep for a mim
the cheaper non-standard MIMs have always sucked i've played a J Mascis Jazzmaster, a CV Precision Bass, and one of those new Jaguars with the blocks and bindings. None have had any issues, except the precision needed one (1) fret filed and the Jaguar needed a shim (which even American Jaguars do sometimes), ended up using the bass in studio out of the box, even. If you're concerned about your image because you have to have an instrument that says "Fender" on it, or bust, I suggest you join a fashion troupe or something.
Oh hahaha yes I get it. I like their songs even though they are admittedly cucks. Weird you went for them and not for Green Day like every Elitist ever

Very thin neck, put together well, pickups can be a bit sterile sounding and need good EQ tweaking and amp modelling
Nolan Lewis
I'm not concerned about the logo at all. I just have no idea how a squier can be almost as good as American, I would have thought QC is skimped on or something.
So if I'm after a JM, a CV is just as good as JMascis?
John Baker
Squier is definitely not as good as an American, but their top stuff is better in my opinion than the lower tier mexican stuff like the player series bullshit or those bullshit-ass black top offsets, that shit is pretty shitty and only costs that much because it says Fender on the headstock. J Mascis' signature honestly has the best playing neck I've ever had on a guitar, try it out before you make a choice, the pickups are not real JM pickups though so watch out for that, they're more like P-90s. CVs are good too, but really you should try out any of these before buying, their QC could be wonky as you say, and you should look through the guitar before purchasing.
The boss katana I didn't like at all from what I've tried myself in a store. I can vouch for the yamaha thr series though, especially the thr10c which I own and use with a 311 pacifica. Great cleans, great crunch and also acts as an audio interface for recording. Nice effects (especially the spring reverb and tape delay) on board too with further tweaking abilities possible with an editor.

Guys, does the epiphone les paul even have washed cherry sunburst as a finish. It's my favourite but I only find them with Cherry Sunburst or Heritage Cherry sunburst
Luis Price
Just buy cherry sunburst and pour some ajax on it.
