how many chords do you know, /gg/?
Grayson Campbell
probably like a third of them
Hudson Perry
Not nearly enough.
Xavier Thomas
all of them because i know basic theory

Clearly the problem is with your fretboard. You need to coat it with a nice thick layer of slippery kaka and soon your hand will be sliding through the doodoo in no time :)

Hey guys I need help, how do I make my palm mutes sound better and louder. They seem to quiet compared to the rest to the point where it seems like I'm palying nothing when I'm playing them. I'm playing mostly punk and in the songs that have verses like palm mute - palm mute - non palm mute strum, palm mutes sound too quiet ( examples, coming too close NUFAN and who wrote holden caufield Green Day )
It's called palm muting but you don't actually use your palm. use the chubby side of your hand. Don't press on the strings either. It's called palm muting but the goal is not to mute the strings, it's to dampen them. Make sure the side of the hand is just touching, not pressing. Keep moving it closer towards the bridge 'till you get the sound you want.
Basically palm mute by neither using your palm nor actually muting and dampen as close to the bridge as possible.

my acoustic strings die in a week or less. I use optiwebs on my electric guitars, and that works great, but elixirs on the acoustic are quite expensive and dont last nearly long enough to be worth the price. Ideas?
Logan Evans
dead strings on acoustic are good

Why is that? t. have literally never played an acoustic.

is there any website/songbook with actual scores/sheet music of sun kil moon/red house painters/mark kozelek's stuff? ultimate guitar sucks, and so does that fansite, songs for a blue guitat

Yes that was it thanks

better get a roland midi guitar plus synth you will have more fun than with a variax.
who would have though that mark agnesi would be the face of all this shit

you'd believe they would've chosen someone who hasn't had a stroke in the last few years

I can play all the variations of notes played together, but only some of the countless combinations sound good
Julian Davis
Yeah, no
Gibson did, When they hired him to be the face of all this shit. Makes you wonder if this was already planned when they hired him. A sacrificial lamb, so to speak.
Jaxson Cook
Gonna be awkward seeing him back at norman's rare guitars soon
post vocaroo of your tremolo picking right fucking now

Probably signed a no compete clause and won't be allowed to work anywhere in the guitar industry for a number of years. So it will be awkward seeing him at McDonalds soon.

He had a steady job and watched what he spent He'd say I don't believe in payin' no goddamn rent I'll squirrel away every goddamn cent And buy my own damn guitar from Kalamazoo
I knew a guy that mangled his hand And he went from pipe fittin' to a play in a band They say last year he cleared fifty grand playing gigs round Kalamazoo
She turned to the world with a bastard child Said, "I just can't handle him he's too damn wild" But the years and the liquor have made him mild And he plays 'tars from Kalamazoo
>Fake actually looks better except for the tuners >sounds just as good >costs 1/10th as much, price is mostly your dignity
I mean even with a $5000 gibson you'd at least replace the nut and maybe even the bridge posts so if you're going to have to mod a guitar you should pay "guitar that needs mods" prices.
Ian Torres
hence my joke baka sempai.
Brody Taylor
if you intend to replace the nut, tuners, bridge, tailpiece, and all the electronics, the frets will last 5 years
Lincoln Lewis
No one cares.

Hey guys bit of an odd question but I've been looking for a way to possibly livestream my playing and practice routine for the sake of getting better at improvising in front of an audience on my spare time, but I have an issue with major social media apps (instagram, snapchat, facebook, etc). I have pretty severe paranoid schizophrenia and despite being on medication and undergoing regular treatment with a specialist I get absolutely paranoid even considering the idea of making an account on any of these sites. However a friend of mine regularily plays live on Instagram and it made me feel inspired to find a form of livestreaming I can utilize. What do you guys think?
Caleb Jackson
no matter where you go they will find you. they use HAARP to scan the entire planet.
you might as well use a regular website because even if you're alone in your room HAARP scanning penetrates even the best shielding. you would have to summon satan himself to find a way to escape their eyes.
They already know everything about you bro, they’ve been watching and listening for years. if they were trying to get you they would have done it by now. Unironically just stream on Instagram and talk about how they’re watching you and you’ll get way more fans
Jose Long
Kek, the funny thing about paranoid schizos is they're 100% right.
>HSS Strat with matte seafoam finish, black binding >black pickguard, SSL1, SSL6-RWRP, Super Distortion >roasted flame maple Wizard neck >abelone inlays, luminlay side dots
This would be the guitar to end all guitars for me. Do I do it? This is off Warmoth built to my exact specs. $1600USD.
Alexander Hill
>please think for me
ok
only a gibson is good enough
Andrew Evans
Needs a floyd rose
Oliver Diaz
Make a youtube or instagram account and upload videos. Don't film your face, I guess. Out of the two I'd pick youtube, the community seems slightly less cancerous. I'll upboat your videos if they aren't shit.
You could also personally stream yourself in something like twitch, and then call people over to watch you, but that's a lot more direct and will probably be tough for you.
Dylan Miller
>buying a guitar without a brand logo on headstock
None of this is news to me anons. I suffer from hallucinations, paranoia, and delusions but as a whole I have a pretty clear mind when I'm lucid, and I spend a solid majority of the day with a pretty clear mindset. Being on medication and seeing a properly trained specialist doesn't come close to eradicating the symptoms but I am very successful in dealing with them as they come. It's just that unfortunately social media apps tend to be a specifically powerful trigger for paranoid delusions in my case, so I thought I'd attempt to work around it. I've never had an account on any platform to date but I'll consider just making an account strictly for music
Guitar = Probably less than $2000, takes up little space, can be enjoyed at any time, do not cost money to keep ready to use
Car = Often $20,000, takes up a lot of space, MUST be insured at a recurring fee to drive unless you have a truck and trailer to take it to private roads
Luke Mitchell
should i buy 6 roland cubes or a vox ac15
Ayden Russell
guitar is a cheap hobby and you can get great guitars and amps for $1000 or less each
compare that to guns which easily run up past ten grand for fucking nothing (extra 0.1moa accuracy guarantee) all the time and cost hundreds to feed at hobbyist shooting volumes
Colton Mitchell
You can get great guns for $1000 or less
David Morales
Same can be said for dildos.
Evan Jones
but there are measurable, physical advantages and a wider range of gimmicks for more than that
extra money on a guitar just buys you a brand name and maybe nicer looking wood grain
Michael Allen
Anyone dipping their guitar in oil today? i need a good laugh
Charles Evans
Same with guns, unless you want some specialized speed competition gun.
Logan Edwards
a couple of rolls of good quality al-foil always works wonders too.
Julian King
>extra money on a guitar just buys you a brand name and maybe nicer looking wood grain it also gives you more consistent craftsmanship (except gibson)
Liam Baker
set up a cam. perform in front of it & we'll pretend to watch you play in our 100s. none of us would watch it if it was actually uploaded anyway so whats the difference...at least you get the feels
>200,000 miles Not bad. That's what? To McDonalds and back in Burger miles?

Of course your average retard who doesn't know how to perform basic maintenance on a fucking slab of wood with a bit of metal string is going to be scared off by the basic mechanical aptitude required to maintain a used car.

make a jewtube account, it's less personal than social media and they don't sell your info as much. you can even browse it and upload videos through a VPN and don't show your face if it makes you feel better

Am I supposed to be starting with SS or a Tube amp? I'll be playing in a bedroom and have neighbours on the other side of the wall.
Jaxon Howard
this dude is the most influential guitarist of our era, bar none
Aiden Carter
Get some small modelling amp like the thr10 series from yamaha. They sound great at low volumes and the headphone output doesn't sound like crap.
Daniel Adams
get an ibanez rg421
Parker Murphy
ok so definitely not a tube right now?
Hunter Evans
what guitars are better, I've been playing my sqiuer for a couple months and I want to play stuff like avenged sevenfold and like five finger death punch, I was thinking like either a schecter
You really don’t need to pay this much for a good metal guitar. All you’ll reallly need is dual humbuckers and good QC. I suggest Ibanez RG421 (I’m not the guy shilling it randomly a few posts up) or the Yamaha 120h. The LTD viper 10 is even cheaper but probably kind of shitty in QC. Some people think Ibanez is faster because it has a thinner neck but idk.
Ryder Thompson
Not unless you crank it up. Learn how to play before getting baited into boomer memes about tone.
Leo Green
so what ibanez should i buy, the jackson headstock looks stupid
should i buy the rg421? this one looks better but its cheaper somehow?
Why do you think it looks better? That’s the higher end of their budget line. Probably playable but likely to have lower quality QC. The 421 is more like the low end of their midrange. Try to find both in a store and get a feel for them if you can.
Cameron Rivera
Replied to myself accidentally. Dumb phone posting
why are these better than schecter or esp these cost half as much
Mason Gray
You answered your own question at the end there
Asher James
Its a good unit but mostly overkill unless you need literally every sound in the world. Its also pretty processed and still not quite like using a higher end amp. Some people really like it, but it wouldn't be for me
Benjamin Nguyen
i don't get it can i just get advice on which one is better or
anyone else having a grand old time writing and playing midwest emo style riffs and stuff
Jason Parker
Thanks for the advice, I feel like I am getting memed a lot.
I did have a look at some SS and I am unsure which to choose from these and if I should get one which allows for a footswitch/pedals or anything else I might need? I'm not really sure about what's good or not.
That other guy is full of shit. You don't have to crank a tube amp to get it sounding good as it depends entirely on the amp. Not every amp is the same in that regard. Anyway, if its your first amp the SS route is generally the way to go because they're cheaper and work fine at a low volume. Out of those 3 I would lean towards the GT40 for overall sound/versatility. A lot of guys also like that Boss Katana amp but I personally don't. Might want to at least consider it or compare it. If you want even smaller look at the Yamaha THR amps as they can fit on your desk and sound pretty good too.
Jose Evans
Look at the line 6 vetta ii
William Allen
Still solid to go with SS then, thanks. What does the GT40 have over the LT25?
Xavier Miller
can anyone help me or does nobody know anything about guitars in here
Look man. We can't tell you what you should buy, only what we like.
Ibanez makes good guitars, but I wouldn't go for the Gio if you're looking for something better than your Squire. That Schecter should be fine if you like it. Go to a guitar shop and try out a bunch of things. Hold them, play them, listen to them. Look at them closely.
Don't let people meme you around here. Every manufacturer makes a good line of instruments, and they all produce firewood too. Usually the more it costs the better quality instrument you're buying.
I seriously suggest just going and sitting down with a bunch of different guitars until you find one you really like.
Joseph Nguyen
no
Evan Peterson
oh so you're just trolling me, i get it. no wonder you ignore everything i fucking actually asked
Tyler Butler
Rude. No help for you.
Parker Sullivan
don't be a fucking asshole dude cmon
Samuel Russell
buy player series they’re great the only place I’ve ever heard negatives about them is this board lol
Joseph Reyes
the player series? Is that schecter?
Hudson Ramirez
Theyre probably good but my only problem with them was how the pickups sounded in the strat.
Leo Taylor
Get a dean instead.
Christian Martin
whats better about dean? they look like cheaper versions of ESP
Michael Phillips
surely Fender Player, he means? or am I wrong
Tyler Kelly
absolutely nothing, they are shit-tier canadian flyover brand designed by drunk eskimos and built by chinese wageslaves
Levi Ross
i just don't want that boring ass RG
Andrew Ross
there are a bunch of player strat colours, flame tops and HSH/FR configs too
a lot of them have that stupid vanilla neck or whatever it's called though it looks weird
just that one, the rg4212 or whatever they all have stupid names too
Nathaniel Martinez
Ltd and schecter are made in the same factory as korean deans. Theres indonesian deans now too. Get schecter or dean.
Julian Powell
All the Indonesian made shit is literally the same quality, and so are the Korean ones. Get the one that like you specs/look/sound of the most. We can't really decide for you here.
John Jenkins
Not a whole lot I guess now when I reviewed it. You get 2 speakers instead of 1 which sort of adds a bit more to the low end frequencies. It'll probably sound a little better depending on the volume you're at. Otherwise they're essentially the same amp it appears.
Nolan Robinson
you seriously cant give me any advice? Are you dumb or something?
if ltd and schecter are the same why are they different companies? the ltd is cooler but the schecter has that outline that looks just sick as fuck
Nolan Anderson
>you seriously cant give me any advice? Are you dumb or something? I'm not him, nor anyone that's chimed in this discussion thus far...but it seems like you can't really take an opinion.
Jeremiah Williams
I'd get the ESP just for the screwed 9 volt cavity, cause the one on the Schecter's (And many other brands) back have been known to brake off/pop off while paying and letting the battery fall out
Matthew Green
No. What advice do you want? No one can choose a guitar for anyone. I could sit here and say whats the 'best' but that may not apply to you. I don't know if you're just shitposting or what but seriously you have to decide on your own. Everything is priced in and the quality at this bracket is essentially the same across every brand
Carter Perez
wow great help thanks for nothing
thanks for actual information, not like these dumbasses

Owen Baker
*plays a quirky little plantasia melody* Ah, my cute little moog is semi-modular just like my gender identity and junk down there teehee
Samuel Myers
You want advice keep your fucking squier and learn how to play whatever the fuck you want to play your fucking metal on it. A new guitar ins't going to magically give you newfound ability. Fucking playing guitar will. If you can't go down to yhe store and test if a guitar sounds good enough for what you want to play, you're not ready for a new fucking guitar, you dumb child.
For me it's the marshall bluesbreaker, king of amps
Wyatt Taylor
Model?
Colton Young
Buy the one you like, at that price point they're all the same shit, when you get past $500 you will see a difference between brands. Make sure to test the sound before you buy, and always get in person first. You sound like you want us to pick a guitar for you, grow up and make your own decisions and live with them, not every answer will be top 10 X

stop giving help. they wouldnt know good advice if it was shoved up their seething pathetic assholes. i hope they all buy unsuitable gear. more cheap buys for us all on ebay later on.

Use phosphor bronze strings maybe. Also do you sweat alot? Some people with more acidic sweat can wear out their strings within a few weeks of playing.
