Thanks bros.

I played the same model at a Guitar Center before ordering from Sweetwater, hoping their autistic inspection assures the quality. The tone is amazing as is but the addition of the piezo really rounds it out and makes it amazing. As far as really high gain, you hear EVERYTHING... 6 string chords ring out beautifully and you can hear each string. As for playability, it feels almost like the frets aren't there. It's buttery smooth, very light, small and easy to position and hold... I have zero hesitation when I say I really don't have the skill to take advantage of it but maybe with time I can become worthy.

its the low output pickups make the notes clearer with the gain

I didn't think they were low output because low output pickups in my experience don't chug when you palm mute dat low E doe, and these chug man. But I trust your experience.

Do they come with burstbuckers? if they do then its a more vintage voiced pickup more clarity because less crunch was desired when they were designed

This. If you're a nerdy fag and your wife isn't that baby is going to come out looking like someone else.

I actually knew nothing about it until I posted here a few weeks ago lol; I got the Les Paul 7 years ago. However, now that I've watched most of the first season, yes I'm a fan.

Guys...I think I mastered the F chord

Holy shit I'm laffin. If there was a cat Peach amiibo, she'd get it. Other than that she doesn't give a fuck cept she likes the Sonic one.

The seed is strong... Everyone says my kids look like me and don't look a thing like her.

Well at least I'll have both ends of the spectrum... Although I think the Les Paul finish is beautiful myself. Maybe I'm getting old.

They're DiMarzio Rainmaker and Dreamcatcher humbuckers with a piezo in the bridge. Ernie Ball site says John Petrucci worked with DiMarzio to specifically tailor them to what he wanted.

Please explain that 4 cent credit.

Is it better to wait until I finish the major scale and learn about modes before learning the harmonic minor or is it ok to do simultaneously? Right now the plan is to finish the pentatonic scale before doing all that other stuff.

Better than owning a guitar that looks like it's high end but sounds like ass

Someone gave there 2 cents twice over.

the fake ones have that too

I find this answer amusing and therefore accept it as fact.

Oh, that's disconcerting. Pretty sure it's legit tho.

started trying to learn bass on my own today. some shit:
holy fuck is fretting uncomfortable. Is this normal? Like, my index finger is sore as fuck.

Also, there aren't really any in-betweens on my plucking. Either i pluck delicately and the sound comes out alright but too quiet, or i pluck hard and the frets buzz like wasps. Can I chalk part of this problem up to the bass (some Chinese hand-me-down that I'll replace when I get my next paycheck) or is it a symptom of my shitterhood?

Contrary to what the StudyBass guy says, the most comfortable position for my fretting hand and my body overall is actually strapless with the bass resting on my thigh. It doesn't matter if I'm sitting, kneeling, or stepping up onto something: the best position I've found is actually just resting the damn thing on my thigh. Maybe it's because I'm a 5'1" manlet?

can you take a photo of the neck of your bass
if you were sitting with the bass in playing position, take a photo from the top view of the neck.

>4channel user deemed more likely to have a son than be a lonely man-child

i know what both of those things are but i fail to see how they are connected

I doubt you can play guitar or even bass or the ukegaygay

People played classical guitar with plain fingertips for hundreds of years before the fingernail autism. That trend only started because it's louder if you do it.

Now that everything is mic'd or picked up and amplified you can do it either way.

I love it when manlets project.

Wasn't sure what you wanted so I made a collage.

Ive been a basement dwelling neckbeard and got 7/10 asians. If you are white and not a total pussy its easy. European women are harder if youre a basement dweller.

can you take another one from the far right angle but get a wider view of it?

At least you dont even try denying that youre a talentless hack. I bet you talk about gear a lot too.

Keep going, you'll be normal-sized one day.

European women are just as easy. You only think they're hard because you can tell which ones are desirable since you have the cultural context. You can tell who's a thot and avoid them.

If you had the same ignorance you did with the asian ladies you'd be fucking sleazy, neurotic thottimus maximii left and right.

>so BTFO "he" cant even formulate a rebuttal
JUST

Don't feel bad, user, you'll think of one eventually.

No, youre an idiot. I have dated and fucked asian 7or 8s easily, if you are white, asian women have lower standards for you. Caucasian european women have much higher standards. Fuck off with your armchair psychology r3ddit bullshit.

there are no asians above a 7

Note how you are intentionally misreading things to help you cope.

JUST

Let me know when it comes to you, user.

What you think is a 7 or 8 is a 4 or a 5 to asian chads.

There are no western european women over 7 either. All the hot women are in Italy and Greece.

True, but i mean on the asian scale.

>asian chads
Lel. I live in a super asian big city and see the full spectrum of asians every day, so youre incorrect.

I live in the west where all the good ones migrated so that might be your problem.

When what comes to me? A rebuttal? Ha. As i pointed out already, you read that wrong, retard. Its helping you cope though, which you really need.

No, youre just asian and jealous.

I'm here for another few hours, just keep me posted.

I'm 100% anglo. The only reason people think whites rule the world.

should I still get a cheap amp if I’m mostly going to be playing with headphones or with very low volume because sensitive situation?

only san fran

as i suspected, your action is way too high. that causes the strings to be hard to push down as well as fret buzz.

also do I need capo or slides to start with?

Give it time to think of a decent quip, silly.

Youre too stupid for quips.

No. Capos are for womyn and other shitty players. Slides are cool but theres no need if youre just starting

Saying user to feign confidence and hide obvious anxiety is almost as pathetic as intentionally misreading at insult to the effect of "i know you are but what am i?". I'll give you the last word since you were at such a disadvantage in this exchange.

You need something snappier.

About how many semitones higher can you tune a string before it becomes unplayable because of how easy it'll snap?

Thanks user. Can you give me any specific information on how much I have to lower the action or is that just something that can't be generalized?

Depends on where you live. I live in a burb downwind of a landfill and some salt marshes so it smells like shit. I've gotten used to it though, and other than being a shitty concrete prarie burb with nothing to do unless you travel to the bigger cities there's not much wrong with it other than that poverty levels are basically typical of every other burb near major metropolitan areas.

The only really filthy parts of the Bay Area I can think of are Oakland, East Palo Alto, the poorer parts of SJ, and SF. It's a pretty big place, and the NIMBY fucks think it's better to quarantine themselves off from the needy, homeless, etc rather than ameliorate the situation in any way. So you get this weird situation where homeless cities in Oakland are only a couple miles away from pristine suburbs like Cupertino, and a tiny enclave of NIMBYism and rich white people like Piedmont is buried in Oakland.

>Can you give me any specific information on how much I have to lower the action or is that just something that can't be generalized?
google "how to adjust action" or take it to guitar center (they might do it for free)

High action REDUCES fret buzz

It looks dirty and murky like seawater at dawn, or the water at the bottom of the tub. I like it. It's dark and moody looking without being as cliche and boring as plain black.

not if it's so high that you can't easily push down the frets

i like how you describe things

back again with a noob question
should I just buy a single stand instead of assuming I’ll own more than 1 guitar at this point?
is any stand fine or do I need something special?

Get a PJ in cream.

P basses and Jazz basses are so dated

Holy shit that middle pic, that action is high as fuck

The only thing I could describe it as is diabolical.
I'm going to be real with you, I'm not a fan of this body. Crimson and pointiness are two things I hate on a guitar.

These shredder guitars with skinny horns or huge dramatic body scoops are ugly as fuck but if you ever actually play up there they are comfy as fuck.

It's not flashy, it's form over function. The only way you could get more form over function is by removing most of the body and playing a teardrop.

I like the 5 way blade on it, and that it has 24 frets, hard to find anything else in the price range with those specs. oh and the dual humbuckers. its the perfect guitar imo

Get a job, save up another $300, and get the schecter C-1.

which ones have the 5 way blade? cheapest one I see on sweetwater has a 3 way and is 500 dollars more

5 way blades are a gimmick for bored teenagers that would rather fuck around with electronics than set up their guitar and learn how to actually play it.

If you're that into it maybe you need the ultimate learner guitar.

Can someone please red pill me on how reverb is supposed to acutally improve anything in metal and rocks leads? I mean either i use so little it makes no discernible difference or a i use so much that it just muddys it up. There doesnt seem to be a middle ground like in the riff for runnin with the devil (the only example i can think of right now where i think it sounds good)

You don't *need* to do it, but it has tends to have a sharper, more aggressive tone if you do. Plus, the technique is slightly different.
I myself have played without nails multiple times in public, and it was fine.
Also, this guy is correct.
In my opinion, many people are influenced on this matter by Segovia, who was strongly in favor of nails.
While he was undeniably extremely talented, and a central figure in the history of guitar music, that doesn't mean everything he said must be dogmatically accepted as true.

>Is this normal? Like, my index finger is sore as fuck.
Yes. Completely normal.
>Can I chalk part of this problem up to the bass (some Chinese hand-me-down that I'll replace when I get my next paycheck) or is it a symptom of my shitterhood?
Bass guitars are finicky. It's most likely your technique but it could be either or a mix of both.
>Maybe it's because I'm a 5'1" manlet?
Get a fractional size /short scale lenght bass guitar. A full size one is hopeless if you're 5'1".

(I know that the rest of my equipment is as/ more important)

Anything with 3 pickups

Huh, that's interesting. I've just cleaned my guitar yesterday and noticed a black coating coming away especially from my g string. Been absolutely ages since the strings were replaced and a while back I took it in store for a problem with fret buzz, they said they had done something else for durability for me.

Replace the missing string...
The tension of the strings balances the neck, the lack of tension from missing a bass string is probably throwing all kinds of things off.

mine has 2.

also anyone here had experience with teisco?

i'd fix the nut first if the neck weren't twisted

yeah, if I didn't enjoy playing guitar simply because it's a great hobby I would be disheartened. the youtube crowd that watches that shit seems like young guys that barely play guitar. so if it's symptomatic of a huge community of casuals I say good, because some will move on to be a new generation of good guitar players.

who are you calling a tranny

Yes, just like SRV

Yes. one of unbending off the top of my head

I don't think I have ever enjoyed the design of something Japanese. Not just in music.

Just watched a Marty Schwarz video. Sad to see how the life is all sucked out of that guy now

Shut up don't talk about Marty that way you pleb

Pre loaded pickguards are a thing and they make good rail buckers in single coil form.

Japanese cars makes your testosterone lower by 5% while you're driving them, it's a scientific fact

Jesus Christ that guy triggers me so hard.

pure beauty. pity they're so costly even as 2000s models

Was looking at caparison until i saw it was bolt on and japanese.
Im thinking charvel now.
Also why is usa charvel so bland?

Daaaaammit

why are the most incompetent boomers always reviewing the guitars with the fewest videos?

I genuinely cannot think of a more manchildish musical instrument in existence. The fact some people actually consider this not just acceptable, but cool, is beyond me

>practicing with electric guitar for 18 months or so
>Epiphone Les Paul Standard

I hate this guitar so much but it's the only thing my local mom'n'pop will rent out. I technically have rent-to-own credits and could get it for only $150 or so but I want to get something else. Any ideas? My budget is $1000.

This shop has a few prospects I tried out and like them all enough:

>Ibanez S something or other: like SS frets, wizard neck, slimline body; don't like it's the most expensive
>MIJ Fender Strat: like the feel of the guitar but sounds sterile/low quality pickups. Decent price.
>Godin Session: feels good, weight is nice, no real complaints desu other than the color is army green
>Epiphone SG: its the cheapest, and I like the feel of it. My biggest complaints on the LP is it's uncomfortable, this SG sounds similar but feels a lot nicer. But I wonder if made in china guitars are even made to last
>Charvel something or other; it's like a Strat but non-gloss finish, roasted neck. Like how it feels but it's pushing the price limit of $900.

Why not just buy black strings?

I've never restrung my guitar before (new player) and the shop wanted $60 for it. I tried my hand at it and it sounds good. How does she look?

If you have split shafts, yes.

The goal is to not buy strings you fuckin retard

Thinking random shit is for manchildren is for manchildren who are desperate not to be manchildren

Men just think it's cool and enjoy it because their accomplishments speak for themselves. Unless it's ridiculous shit like anime, keep that in the closet/internet.

You need to buy new strings. Stop being a fucking mong

Jcum?

Are you retarded? Stfu and lurk moar retard

Im living rent free in newfags minds too it seems. Dont mind him trache. Also help me choose a superstrat. 24 frets with a floyd im l

Easy

until you realize it's a logical improvement on guitar design

>body horns removed for better fret access
>headstock redesigned to improve tuning stability
>single body cutout allows steadying the guitar with your legs in the classical position and when playing sitting with a strap, the only two proper positions

the top 2 manchild guitars are the strat and les paul as the reasons people cite for wanting them are rather childish

>dude its so cool my favorite dude ever played one and he's my hero dude thats why its good
>uh, i mean, yeah, it's a classic, play anythin' else and ya look ridiculous kid

if you want a guitar because your rock music idol played one, that's being a manchild. signature gear is for manchildren. "i like this guy therefore i will copy him" - that's how children think and superhero costumes are marketed to children on this basis.

>only 24

You call those high notes?

There are good points being made here.
What if you bought the signature guitar not because you really like the artist but because it is just a superior instrument?

> t. Bought a Les Paul because "it's iconic!" and have a JP Majesty coming

The les paul was at one point, a signature instrument that also had actual benefits over the competition. That's okay, it's why you buy it, not that you buy it, as long as there's a possible adult reason to buy it.

Today there are hundreds of other guitars with flatter fretboards and less pickup hum than a fender and there's no reason to buy a les paul unless you're being a fanboy - emphasis on the boy part.

You're a retarded tranny

You said this the other day. You're right, most of it is kneejerk. But flying V guitars simply cannot be played by someone above the mental/ emotional age of 13.

*improves further*

Leave the V in the 20th century

Always acoustic or some weird incel metal

People buy what they want to. Different people like different things. Play what you like and let others play what they like. My point is, just shut up and play.

>the top 2 manchild guitars are the strat and les paul as the reasons people cite for wanting them are rather childish
1) a minority of (serious) players get them for that reason. It's mostly casuals and boomers
2) it's incredibly unlikely that many people buy flying Vs primarily for practicality. And the sad thing is, unlike your example, they are fully serious

Morning, it's morning everyone. Today's the day, the sun is shining the tank is clean...

Still it's time to grow up and sell the gibson. It's $2000 wall art, but instead of being a one of a kind painting like most $2000 wall art it's a mass produced guitar with a shitty finish. Take that money and put it in a retirement fund where it'll do you some good.

And do the same with all that dumb video game crap.

Now that is minimalism. Do you (or anyone else) actually own one of these? Curious as to how they play and sound.

From what you describe, Get the Charvel. It is every bit as good of a guitar as you want it to be, and you can afford it.
You will never regret getting it, and that’s all you want in a guitar.

nobody wants to own one because your choice is $3000 for an indonesian/chinese guitar for $4000 to import one of the japan custom shop ones

I support dean but idk about an indonesian one.
The caparison i was looking at had 27 frets. Too bad its a bolt on.

I mean I actually do play mine. I figure if I can play well, sound good and my notes are clear on a Les Paul then I'm golden for anything else.

Holy fuck they're seriously that expensive? I don't actually know what make and model that is, only ever seen it posted here. Makes sense it's Japanese though.

That’s ok. Most people never develop mentally past the age of 12 anyway.

Fucking kek. I am laughing so hard. Wtf.

>He didn't consider an ESP

clearly the band's timing was way off in the early days right. I feel this kid's frustration.

Just get a steinberger for 300 bucks

i wish it had pickguard. it looks bald without it

DEAN FENDER(including all subsidiaries) AND EBMM ARE THE ONLY GUITAR MANUFACTURERS YOU NEED TO KNOW. HONORABLE MENTION GOES TO TOKAI.

is that bluejem?

Fuck off dad, fender blows. Ibanez makes the best guitars.

Superstrats look best without pickguard though. Be glad that it's matte too. Too many plebs that want glossy shit.

What about Mayonnaise?

i still disagree. rg350 looks awesome

Unironically one of my favourite solos at the end of this. Simple enough my dumb ass could play it relatively early on but so fuckin groovy

Lose weight son. And no slipknot is not cool.

One of my favorite smashin pumpkins songs.
Also i havent tried a mayones so i wont be unjust and say they suck.

Thoughts on Revstars and particularly the 720B with filtertrons and bigsby?

I still don’t understand why everyone is against FR for beginners. Even if you are experienced and have never touched a FR, it’s going to be something new to learn because you’ve never used it.

So over the last 2 weeks I've started playing again for the first time in about 8 years. I've been enjoying it but I'm starting to run into some frustrations that caused me to stop playing.

Long story short I had a minor accident that has casued the top part of my pinky to stick out at a slightly different angle than it should. I can't get it really close to ring finger and I really struggled with playing basic chords if they require my pinky and playing chords lower of the fretboard where things are tighter.

I feel like long term it's going to limit me and I'll never be able get back to where I was pre injury like this. Should I just restring my guitars backwards and learn to play lefty?

Has anyone had to alter the way they play because of a problem with their hands?

Attached: 1502399096104.jpg (999x990, 67K)

only reddit is against recomending FR to begginers, these guys are way too condescending.

That guitar in orange is basically the perfect guitar, I'll be getting it soon.

Im pro fr. My first guitar was fr. Now i want to get my third fr guitar.

You're replying to Sammy, who legitimately struggles to afford new strings.

“Ah, yes, thank you for your lovely demo of your gained to hell, delay saturated, amp modeling software which also happens to include the pedal I actually want to hear. I really have a grasp of what this pedal sounds like now!”

Just plug into an amp with the pedal in the chain, give a clean signal example, play, and turn the knobs around. It’s not hard.

No they are not bedy difficult. Its just exaggerated by retards. Ill give you a master tip. If youre tuning to e standard and as you tune the bridge lifts tighten the screws holding your springs. If it keeps lowering itself and raising tension loosen the springs. When you loosen them use a good grip and only use 1/4 turns. Keep in mind its very easy to strip those screw holes. It sounds like alot but its not. Once mastered it can do what any trem can do but more and it holds perfect tuning
