yeah but has anyone done that and gotten an awful (good for black metal) tone?
Adam Harris
Poser black metal tones are okay, unless you're a blues dad and everything must be slightly overdriven single coils with the mids cranked or it's "mud i tell ya, ya kids hide yer bad licks behind dat bad tone"
win rack okay >leather chair okay >expensive guitar okay >baby chair Maybe put that in a different room >video game character dolls Okay what the fuck I know for a fact that is not your son's bedroom
Daniel Morgan
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.

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

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.

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

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.
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.

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.

David Rivera
About how many semitones higher can you tune a string before it becomes unplayable because of how easy it'll snap?
Dylan Perez
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.
Kayden Thomas
>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)

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
Kayden Murphy
i like how you describe things what do you think of this
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?

Evan Jones

Ethan Sanders
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.
Ryan Lee
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.
Gavin Perry
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
Mason Adams
Get a job, save up another $300, and get the schecter C-1.
Bentley Hill
which ones have the 5 way blade? cheapest one I see on sweetwater has a 3 way and is 500 dollars more
Lucas Scott
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.
The one labeled volume is an attenuator put between the pre and power amp sections for pussies who want to play metal but don't want to play FUCKIN SLAYEEEEEEEEEEER

What are some songs that are mostly non-guitar songs but have a great melody in them that would sound great on the guitar/as one of them instrumental guitar covers? youtube.com/watch?v=32ScTb6_KHg
lmao this is literally just a power amp with a direct input. you can get the same sound by plugging into the return of any Marshall with an effects loop
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)
Caleb Parker
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.
Wyatt Martin
>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".

if you could recommend one all rounder guitar for gigging which could be used for stuff through from 60s classic rock, to punk, 21st century indie, and simple garage band covers of non-rock songs
(I know that the rest of my equipment is as/ more important)
Oliver Ward
Anything with 3 pickups
Andrew Cooper
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.
Cooper Perez
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.
Logan Stewart
mine has 2.
also anyone here had experience with teisco?

Good point. This user is smarter than me, try the nut first. Still replace that string though.
ok cool thanks also just came across the danelectro brand
my only worry sometimes is because of my spazziness with maintenance, having a really popular classical model by fender etc. puts my mind at ease in terms of finding resources. Then again, youtube is absolutely huge

Huh, I would have thought a Strat would be one of the worst options.
Gretsch of some sort would still be good for the range of stuff without the overbearing distinctiveness of a strat
Isaac Perez
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.
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.
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.

>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.
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
Brody Morris
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.
Mason Smith
You're a retarded tranny
Blake Ward
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.
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.
Jace Campbell
>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
Jace Stewart
Morning, it's morning everyone. Today's the day, the sun is shining the tank is clean...
Anthony Thompson
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.
Logan Sanders
Now that is minimalism. Do you (or anyone else) actually own one of these? Curious as to how they play and sound.
Owen James
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.
Mason Fisher
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
Brayden Adams
I support dean but idk about an indonesian one. The caparison i was looking at had 27 frets. Too bad its a bolt on.
Dylan Hill
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.
Mason Edwards
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.
Robert James
That’s ok. Most people never develop mentally past the age of 12 anyway.
Thoughts on Revstars and particularly the 720B with filtertrons and bigsby?
Asher Roberts
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.
Isaiah Anderson
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?
“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.
Carson Nelson
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
