How does he get away with it lads?
Endless amounts of charisma
Guys, quick question: can somebody explain to me the relationship between loudness of an amp in dB and output of amp in Watts? My homework is due by monday morning. thx
He is the king of the r*ddit soimales.
Rob Chapman is a complete fuckwit but, somehow, he has made a lot of money from selling his guitars and his ugly face on Youtube. His personality appeals to metal loving teenagers. I'm not being insulting either, that is 90% of his audience. A 44 year old man who is loved by teenagers....
You know about Riff City Guitars? Essentially they were a small music store that is closing. They were offered a chance to distribute Chapman guitars and they took it. It helped their business grow. Guitar Centre came along and wanted the exclusive rights to distribute Chapman guitars is USA, thus removing Riff City from the picture.
Business sucks sometimes, Rob Chapman and Lee Anderton suck all the time.
am i cut for a Who cover band instaud.io
Stop shilling.
it's literally the first time i post this clip i'm not shilling
Dude you fucking suck get over it.
you fucking suck
The Who is fucking shit. Why would you even want to waste your time covering one of the worst bands in rock'n'roll history?
lol this entire general
You posted it in that Pete Townshend thread too, don't lie.
that doesnt count as shilling tho
Sounds reasonably good.
They had one good song:
i gotta check this album

What is your goal with guitar?
To play like Yui
Posted this the other day. But going to repost once.
Anyone know of a good resource for learning alto saxophone? This being my first instrument.
to be able to write and record my own songs, beyond just going around the meme basic chords doing fingerstyle or strumming
and also to be able to learn and cover songs from artists i really like
oh, and here's p2
I am assembling a guitar for my first time soon. Here's what I have planned:
Bridge pup - seymourduncan.com
Bridge-Middle pup - seymourduncan.com
Neck-middle pup - seymourduncan.com
Neck pup - gibson.com
Body - some shity japanese 80's knockoff strat
Neck - whatever came with the body, will switch out for a genuine Fender when I have the money
wiring - Gibsonish style, one tone and volume for each pickup
How retarded is this? Should I switch any pickups around or consider alternatives? Is the wiring a bad idea for any reason? do I need toggle switches for each individual pickup or will just volume do? I'm a tard at this obviously, but I'm eager to get my hands dirty, and I'm expecting to make mistakes, but hoping to get it as close to right as possible the first time around.
I want to release a black metal tape

why are you using a shitty base?
why not make your own base with a real alder body and paint it with nitro ?
Hmm black metal tape. That's a tough one. I know some vendors sell copper foil tape but that's obviously not black. I reckon there might be a tungsten foil?? I would say lead tape but you know how those cookies won't let anybody have lead anymore LMBO (laughing my b*tt off)
Thank you

This is stupid and will be shitty. Do you even know why you picked those meme pups?
Cringe, play like Azusa instead
So I'm planning on getting my first amp. It's mainly for playing at home. Fender Mustang II seems perfect for my budget, but people are saying that low-power amps are perfect for home practice. 40 watt is still good, right? Or will it lose some of the sound quality if I keep it on low volume?
>7 piece body guitars
show me
I want to marry Ritsu
Hello all. N00b guitarist here. I tried the link in the GG copypasta but it ded. I gotta diagnose some fret buzz. I restrung my Strat with 8s after trying them on a friend's guitar, and although they feel great, I'm getting fret buzz all over the low E string (worst on fret 5). Didn't have any kind of buzz with the previous strings (10s). What is the reason?
Your nuts cut for 10s, not 8s.
ah, should I fuck around with the nut, or get a new nut then? Or I could go light top/heavy bottom, as the higher strings have no buzz
Depends. Do you know what you're doing? If it's a white color nut, you can do the baking soda and superglue thing. Or you can just get a new nut.
yeah it is one of those white nuts. I don't know of the baking soda and superglue thing, I suppose I'll look it up
thanks for the advice user!
How do I improve my basslines? Everything i play sounds the same.
Stop playing bass
ebin, thanks!
add power chords, octaves, and lil pentatonic runs above what ur playing
I'm no expert (only play bass 4 fun) but these things sound cool
br br deng
Need cash pretty bad at the moment. I've got a MiUSA Tele and an Indonesian RG
What's the best place to find out the value of a used guitar and what's also the best place/way to sell it?
Why the fuck are you still here retard? Isnt it time for you to put kaka back in pops leaky asshole?
Lmfao. Rude awakening incoming.
Anybody in here knows their shit about midi guitars?
I got pic related a few months ago (took me like ~2 years with a custom pre-order to get it) and it's probably the best guitar I've ever owned. It was expensive (~$3k) but I've tried many midi guitars over the years (roland GR-55, tripleplay, mostly) and they are all so bad in comparison when it comes to midi tracking, latency, velocity accuracy, etc.
It's ridiculous how little is known about midi guitars other than the shitty Roland approach...
Just throw it up on Reverb. You will probably take about a 50% hit on RG and a 20-30% hit on the Tele from what you paid originally.
Get melodic like McCartney or Groove like a black man
Would love to try a MIDI guitar
You can get something for relatively cheap with the Tripleplay. I bought it for ~$300 before I got my midi guitar because I was tired of waiting. Honestly? It really depends on the type of guitar you have (how high your bridge is, due to the tracking of the hexaphonic pickups), it can either track stuff fairly accurately, or it requires a lot of setting up and fiddling with the magnet heights and you will still get double/triple notes when picking which can be very very annoying.
I could deal with a tripleplay for studio/composing work, where you can go back in your DAW and edit out the dirty notes, but for live play I would never trust it. It is a nice little toy though. If that's okay for you, then that's a viable way into the world of midi guitars. But as I said already, nothing compares to the Expressiv Pro Midi guitar (the one in the pic) which sadly is only made by a random bloke in the west of Ireland and is ridiculously expensive + he has a huge backlog of orders so it can take up to a couple of years to get it built... (but worth it imo)
Nice copypaster
Ever tried that Godin midi guitar?
>tfw I’ve finally decided what songs to put on my first album
>none of them are filler tracks as far as I’m concerned
>I still fear nobody will listen to it from start to finish
I hope I’m wrong about the last bit. Most people I know just release singles or EPs on Spotify but if you have enough good songs for an album I feel like you should just go for it, even if it means less chance of getting stuff included on a playlist.
>tfw want to play in a band again but have no other musicians to play with
Pretty much everyone I've ever played with has garbage taste in music, isn't that good of a musician, is playing in anothe band already, or has moved away. Shit sucks. I just like having other people to bounce ideas off of.
I have not. I just took a quick look at it and it seems to be using the Roland type of midi pickups, which in my opinion are not that great. Seems like it won't be able to do fancier stuff like pitchbends and things like that.
i love my ibanez gax
Take the plastic off that pup
No im gonna swap it out eventually.
so?
Has anyone here ever played one of these? It's a Fender Precision Bass Special from the mid-'90s. I love the look of them and have been looking for ones for sale lately.
To be able to improvise over any progression, know the fretboard, understand the theory behind phrasing and how to build on a melody so that I can write my own songs as well.
> Also to cover video game music...
What do you guys think would be a good price range for a cheap-ish bass that can hold up somewhat decent recording/studio quality? I'm not a bassist, I've been a guitarist my all life, but I need to get my hands on a bass to record some basslines for my new album and I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one as long as it's not too expensive. I was thinking around the $400-800 price range. Is that going to suck in quality or is it "acceptable" for an indie project?
cheap prices
Give me a price range and some models I should look at
release a darkwave inspired deathrock tape
1000+ that's nice
40 watts is more than enough, even 30 can work if the amp is good
I have a specific set up for my live play that requires me to split my guitar sound in two different chains of FXs. I want to be able to "merge" the two chains into a single mixer pedal that lets me turn on/off either line (or both at the same time) independently and run that into a mixer. Is there a pedal like this? A pedal with two inputs and a single output, and two switches to let me toggle on/off either of the inputs.
mexican fender, just find one you like
you used to be able to get a used american one for around 800 but probably not anymore
I live in Japan, by the way, so getting mexican/american gear might be more expensive than usual. I can probably get something like a Yamaha (?) or similar for much cheaper than in the west.

I’m thinking of trying busking for the first time, my own songs only. I don’t need the money but hoping I can do it to drum up online followers. I live in an extremely touristy city with heavy footfall at this time of year on certain streets.
Anyone tried it? How did it go?
Put up a sign that says all money goes to Charity. Then go find a hooker named Charity.
fuck off
might be the ultimate test to see if you're good
??
I might legitimately give the money to a mental health or homeless charity although I’m concerned people will think I am fleecing them. I have a decent job though.
No. You pissed off because you never grew the balls to play outside your bedroom?
I don't know that busking with original material is the best idea. People want to hear what they've heard a billion times before.
ive played more gigs than you, now fuck off nobody wants you here
Open mic at the local coffee shop isn't a gig. Then again, neither is busking.
You’re definitely correct if you’re hoping to get a large crowd and earn good money but if even one in a few hundred people walking past stopped for a few minutes I would be doing alright the street I have in mind is so busy. If any of those then bothered to follow me on Facebook (I’ll put a sign up with details) I’m honestly thinking I might have more success getting followers than open mic nights.
Hey man, the worst that happens is nothing. Go for it.
Thanks, I think I will on my next day off. Will post results.
People flout the rule all the time (risking a fine and equipment seizure) but you’re not supposed to do it amplified in my city, thankfully I’m used to singing unamplified at folk clubs so hoping this will go in my favour.
that's what you're going to do tho
Stop speculating and go do it, you'll never know unless you try.
You fail you fail, you succeed you win that's life, the only thing that matters is results.
well, if he don't try he won't fail, that's a better result
No it isn't because if you don't try you don't learn, and if you don't learn you don't progress, and if you don't progress you'll just slowly climb down the ladder of life.
Nobody knows him, nobody will see him ever again. Unless you have a reputation, you shouldn't care what others think.
life isnt a ladder
I'm not him. I'm the righteous backhand of truth
you're nothing
Post some of your music.
I'm everything
You’ve maybe heard it before as a Clyp file, here’s my ugly mush to go with it.
I’ve written about twenty songs I would be happy to perform live.
all songs have already been written, retard
lmao look at that fatass' posture
ha, you're a fat bastard like me

Well the first song I ever wrote was a cowboy style account of the life of Gaddafi, I’m pretty sure that hasn’t been done before.
Yes I am fat, well observed.
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
My two favorite things............girls and guitars..............just don’t tell my wife...................
?
you're right, it's a stairwell.
the strumming is kinda boring and repetitive
Guitar isn’t the main focus of my music, it’s there for backing to my vocals. I’m not bothered about using simple chords and strumming, not everything works as well with fingerstyle.
Yeah. We get it. You like your skirts with a little extra meat in them.
The problem with all of these resources is that they don't touch how music works, at least not correctly. Music is tonal, so ear training should be what all practice revolves around.
Unfortuntely, resources like those typically don't touch on that kind of stuff. And although they come from a good place, they trap students with things like CAGED, box pentatonics, and the like.
Ask a guitarist to play a particular chord at a certain position, and they might be able to get it. Ask them to name what each note is relative to the tonal center, and I will bet 99% of them will be lost.
It's a shame. Guitarists need better resources.
Tl;dr
No it's a waterfall
Don't go chasin' it.
>Guitar isn’t the main focus of my music
Your vocals aren't either breh
I think guitarists would benefit from trying to play piano. Theory and layout are more accessible to a beginner compared to guitar where it might take someone 6 months to learn Barr chords, you can play all chords almost immediately on piano and get to focus more quickly on deeper knowledge of notes/scales/chords/melody/etc which you can transpose and play on guitar and vice versa.
I’ve had a lot of good feedback on my singing, if you don’t like it I won’t lose any sleep over it.
>might take someone 6 months to learn Barr chords
Surely you must be joking
I can't do barre chords, but I can play a piano.
No shit, everyone can play piano, just press some buttons
Same as anyone can play guitar? Just press some strings?
It's not bad, it's just very lackluster
If that's true, why can't you barre chords then?
You don't have to do barre chords to play guitar. But if you must know, my fingers are jacked.
you have to admit that the best guitar players are not white
youtube.com
Looks white to me
You some manlet chink?
I'm 6'5 and white.
Can someone help and tell me what the chords this guy is playing it so I can try and learn it myself I’m pretty new to guitar
At what age exactly one can stop practicing?
E, G, B7, Am, A

What is that supposed to mean? I'm retarded? I'm deformed? I'm strong? I'm cool as hell? I'm going to move in with a fat kid named Chunk? Explain yourself man!
You're a big dumb faggot retard. Barre chords are ez pz.
You're going to move in with a fat kid
I physically can't do them. I have jacked fingers.
Score.
post fingers
Why? So you can get off? Find your own finger fetish porn.
sexy.
No, wait. It's you that gets off on finger. Not me. Fuck, it's hard keeping this straight.
It's Ace fucking Frehley. Not exactly the type of guy I'd take music tips from.

none of them
I fucking hate buskers. I usually kick over their shit when I walk by.
Well there's your problem.
>I usually kick over their shit when I walk by.
suuuuuuuuuuuuuure you do
shhhhhh. Let him play tough guy in the internet. It's all he has.
hey sam hows pops
are the new danelectro longhorn basses any good
they're no less shit than the originals
why are they shit
Try a different guitar. Really.
Nut width, fretboard radius, and string tension all affect how easy it is to play barre chords at different spots on the neck. Every hand is different. I fucking hate vintage fenders because my left index finger refuses to conform to those weird radiuses without some discomfort.
low quality materials that start to fail after a few years, especially the electronics
neat looking though
I shouldn't hate too hard, as I have one of their amps and I absolutely love it, but the build quality on their stuff has always been sub par
Read. I have fucked up fingers. I am physically incapable of doing them.
yeah but radar love tho
are you the dude who was complaining about how his fingertips couldn't bend right, or something like that?
And you think someone who can't barre on a 7.25" radius designed to be easier to barre on doesn't?
>I am physically incapable of doing them.
No you're not.
No
What?
My fingers are bent and gnarled. They won't straighten. Maybe if I had all of them broken multiple times and set back straight, MAYBE I could do them then, if I could even play after that.
I just gave some arbitrary number but I do think the fact that guitar is more off putting than piano in the beginning for chords and Rhythm and the fact that it can take someone X amount of effort and time to play an F chord or a solo. I'd argue that sheet music and theory are easier to pick up on Piano and help you get out of this kind of rut. Theory gives you Structure and Lines that you can color outside of.
That's kinda my point
>My fingers are bent and gnarled.
No they're not.
Try a different guitar
Or buy a chapman stick
ok?
It's not the guitar.
Pretty much
If you physically can not barre then buy a chapman stick and play by tapping.
But I don't think you can't.
I have no reason to take your word for it.
>H&K head and cabinet
>sounds sterile as fuck
>100% of my tone comes from my board and fingers
Do I need an amp? What is a preamp and can I use that instead? The problem is my amp setup is >$800 when I see preamps for $100 and some premium ones around $350.
I don't want to play a chapman stick. I play guitar fine, I just avoid barre chords/find alternatives.
ok
>I just avoid barre chords/find alternatives
so you don't play guitar fine
No, I play just fine. Are you under the impression that guitar is just about barre chords?
So does anyone actually play or do you just sit around circlejerking over gear like posers?
>Are you under the impression that guitar is just about barre chords?
it's part of it.
i'm sure a drinking bird plays piano just fine if you take out any polyphony.
I do
% of my tone comes from my ... fingers
You would hate an acoustic then
If you cant even play bar chords theres a high chance ypu cant actually play
It is part of it, but I get around that part. Jango played with 2 working fingers, and he did fine.
i do
poorly
i'm a pro about gear though trust me bro
>he incorrectly identifies as a man despite not owning a Gibson
wrong
>Jango played with 2 working fingers
and he still managed to barre
because his fingers were straight. And using your finger as a capo isn't barring
define play
But all the cute anime girls play gibsons
Gibson guitars are just a meme
placing a finger flat across multiple strings is in fact barring
post your fingers
It's not a barre chord though
it's barring
No you freaky finger fetish boy
Kill yourself you mentally ill attention seeking anime tranny.
You can be a woman if you own a Gibson or not, but you cannot be a man if you do not own a Gibson.
Why are you obsessed with trannies? Don't tell me you have a thing for them.
Well, since I like women, women have to like me back, and since women like men a Gibson I will play.
Considered and discarded.
Youre acting like a mentally ill attention-seeking anime faggot aka a tranny on Yea Forums.
I want to add anime stickers on my $3k guitar, however I'm afraid it might damage the paint job. Are there any stickers that won't damage it and could be safely removed in the future? What do you think?
come on, i wanna see your fucked fingers
Maybe you wouldn't be so angry if you had a Gibson.
No. Those only go on the back window of your car.
One could fuck oneself in the ass while praising socialism and apologizing for being white and still be less of a faggot than you, tranny.
>he takes his anger about being too poor to own a Gibson out by complaining about anime on an anime website
I have a gibson but i barely use it since im not a beginner like you.
You can't really tell much until I hold both hands together. Then it becomes obvious.
but you're the broken headstock guy
what the fuck are you on about, faggot
>88957281
Gibsons are passé
>he needs to believe my Gibson is broken to feel better about himself
You asked what I thought
>All men play Gibsons, but not all Gibson players are men
>All cute girls who play guitar play Gibsons
From these two rules we can extrapolate that if someone does not like Gibsons, they are not men, and if they are women they are not cute. Or you just don't play guitar, which allows you to be cute, but still excludes you from being a man.
So you could only be a woman or a tranny.
okay show both of them then
Beyond bullying you, no one gives a fuck about your shitty instruments and your inability to play them
How would I take the picture?
>you will never be a cute girl who plays a stratocaster
>it's impossible because your chromosomes are XY and cute girls only play gibsons
life isn't fair
you're pretty aggressive for someone with anime stickers
>he takes his anger at being too poor to afford a sex change out bu shitting up a general thread on a Mongolian basket weaving website

He's full of self-loathing.

Average Gibson owner
Everybody has anime stickers here in Japan, it's not weird. Don't judge me.
The guitar and girl are both 5/10.

come on
That isn't a man, and if it's a girl it's not a cute one, so it's impossible for them to have a Gibson.

good thing he created other boards

For weeaboos to talk about other things.
Going to the music board of Yea Forums to hate anime is like going to the PC building subforum of a starcraft website to get away from zerg rush and pylon jokes.
If all Gibson players are either men or cute girls then trannies with gibsons are just men in dresses and I haven't seen any proof to the contrary
All the cute traps play telecasters
Yea Forums is not equivalent to other forums
>Yes, I do own a Gibson. How could you tell?
you look mildly unintelligent and as if you don't actually play guitar very often
Yes, it's even more weeb desu
You will NEVER be a real woman no matter how much HRT you take.
it's only weeb because you fags won't realize that no one else wants you here and you should just go to Yea Forums
Ugly headstock.
VERY well-put.
Pic unrelated
But I'll be cute
t. plays a telecaster
>How could you tell?
Because you look like you enjoy a good cock
fender telecaster more like femboy trannycaster
There's nothing cute about three saddle bridges.
>Ugly headstock.
Yeah the headstock isn't the best, I asked if I could get a different one but I think he wanted way too much extra money for it and since I was paying I shitton already I decided to go for the default one.
Your waifu isn't a real woman, your "vagina" is a mutilated dick and that chink plank you bought of reverb because it looks like the one from k on isn't even a real gibson.
There's nothing cute about not knowing how to use a 3 saddle bridge.
Why bother using midi?
Six saddle bridges are objectively and factually superior to three saddle bridges.
Because not everyone scoops their middis
false
T. cis male
I hereby rule that wins this argument.
What is the best country electric guitar (besides a tele)?
It's got both seymour-duncan pick ups for normal electric guitar play, piezo pick ups for acoustic style, and hexaphonic pick ups + electronics on the bridge/neck for midi note tracking and pitchbend accuracy.
You can use it as a standard guitar, or you can do fancier stuff with midi.
Personally, I play a mix of electronic and post-rock/ambient acoustic and I like mixing the two. Midi gives you a much broader range of effects and instruments. I'm currently playing around with pic related to get some chiptune-like sounds and heavy fatty bassy lines to layer on top of a clean acoustic sound.
You can't do that with a normal guitar.
Dilate
Gretsches.
false
America obviously
How do you know so much about trannies? I had to google dick mutilation vaginas and what dilate meant.
I thought they were just men in drag.
Yes, you are
Because I used to be a sales rep for Gibson
I've never met a transexual and I've never played anything but gibsons and only jam with fellow gibson players.
Something's fishy here
Well i'ts not the vaginas you and your drag troupe don't have
We have established that you are wrong. You can move along now.
six saddle tele bridges are for people that don't want to be bothered to learn how to setup a 3 saddle tele bridge. ie lazy fucks
Guitar sommeliers universally agree that six saddles > three saddles. Go back to your playground, boy.
why would you choose to do something more difficult for no reason
Three saddle bridges work fine if you use vintage correct string gauges with a wound G.
It's not more difficult once you learn how to do it
This. It has long been common knowledge that guitar scientists have proven the superiority of six saddles in exhaustive studies.
>not using a 1-saddle tone bridge
why would you ever learn how to do something that provides no benefit
I run heavy gauges, but I do use a wound G
gibsons and strats both have their good qualities but they have their fair share of flaws as well
if only there were some sort of super guitar that combined all their best qualities into a premium instrument that let you play at your best without having to work around vintage design flaws
Guitar cicerones unanimously agree: three saddle designs are less convenient to intonate while providing zero practical advantages over six saddle designs.
Why did you learn to tie your shoes?
If only...
They would be the best guitars at every price point
because tied shoes provide the advantage of not looking gay
I see. So it's like playing a Gibson Les Paul.
Because they'll feel loose and/or fall off if I don't. That's a benefit and your analogy is shit.
we're talking about saddles you obsessed retard
And so does 3 saddle bridges.
Slip-ons exist. Velcros exist. My analogy is sound
>And so does 3 saddle bridges.
keep telling yourself that dork
