Start at a comfortable tempo with metronome, where you're not making any mistakes and just pick open for a couple minutes. I assume you're talking about the reverse gallop, slowly bump up the bpm until you're at speed.

If you like the song and it has simple open chords then it's a good first song. Anything decently popular will have a usable tab/ chords on the internet, but listen carefully to the actual song and tweak it if you have to/ it sounds better that way.

Why would i get a martin when taylor is superior. Keep defending cutting corners though.

Not them but just to clear this up for you ebony is running short in supply. Yes, you can still get a guitar with an ebony fretboard but it'll run the cost of the instrument up substantially. This is me hoping you're not really as stupid as you seem, hope it helps.

Its only one species that is endangered. Weve had this discussion already. Its the one with the darkest and highest percentage of dark wood. Now manufacturers are using "imperfect" ebony. Look at some of the charvel okoume dk24 models. They have ebony fretboards. I have a dark board from my korean dean. Its ebony. New import deans have ebony too. Before only 10-20% of an ebony tree was being used. Were using more now from each tree.

No shit Sherlock you aren't even arguing anything here you fucking idiot, you're just reiterating that quality Ebony is in short supply and guitar manufacturers are having to choose alternatives to quality Ebony or drive the cost of the guitar up if they insist on using it

Yeah, that's the reverse gallop and there's tons of stuff on youtube showing how to practice stuff like that. It's all about endurance, you have to start slowly and steadily work it up to speed.

Edwards super strat or Rhodes copy.

Edwards is trash.

Says the dummy who's never played one

If you're willing to rub solvents on your fretboard (or stupid enough), try other solvents, like acetone or alcohol.

I thought this general mainly bought from reverb. Hell, i never heard of it before I started coming here and people used to rave about it. Im always able to find rare gear I can't get in my hillbilly state. Whenever a seller has an make an offer option I almost always get it a few hundred dollars cheaper. EBay is way too sketchy, too many chinese knockoffs

You're worried about some inlays being off on a budget Jap copy when Gibson's QC has been notoriously bad even on their custom shop shit?

not him but edwards is what poor fag nips play when they can't afford a real domestic esp

Then try acetone. You might have a species of some sort of ebony, or it's dyed - and some dye techniques are "baked" in, so you can rub it off playing it. But it's probably one of the cheaper varieties of "ebony" that isn't banned. If it was imported into the US or UK, it's not the good stuff, that's for sure.

They are delusional though, they desperately want to convince themselves that their $600 chink shitplanks are just as nice as a $2500 American guitar. It actually qualifies as psychosis if you want to be accurate.

You're on a slippery slope with Gibson and quality.

A Chibson isn't as good as a custom shop (and "good" is relative), but the Chibsons are just as good as Epi's.
I personally wouldn't buy a Gibson made in the last decade. I'd take the money you'd spend at the custom shop for an LP and go to a small luthier, and have a "tribute" made - the quality will be significantly better. Most of them will do it, but they won't advertise it. Slash is the best known pro who's signature guitar was a tribute, not an actual Gibson.

>Believes his overpriced shitplank will make him an anime girl
>Says everyone else has psychosis

Those are lies spread by jealous poorfags slash is the greatest guitarist of all time because he exclusively uses Gibson. Total guitar magazine told me so.

>Delusions are strong beliefs against reality or held despite contradictory evidence

>Slash is the best known pro who's signature guitar was a tribute, not an actual Gibson.

I feel like from a construction standpoint, it's excellent. The matte finish, the neck feel, everything falls into place nicely. I don't particularly think the pickups are good. It's something I'd find in cheaper guitars, so the premium is really for the roasted maple neck I think. Still worth it, but could use an upgrade.

I didn't claim that he was still playing it, pinhead. My point, that your low IQ was incapable of detecting, is that quality tributes are around, and better than the crap that Gibson is selling these days.

And, if you think Slash is getting any old random guitar off the line, and also worked over extensively by his techs, you're a bigger idiot than i already think you are.

Writing something worth listening to?

>I didn't claim that he was still playing it
So you admit he hasn't played the Derrig in 25 years! That's great!

That $2500 american guitar plays like a $600 korean plank.

They used to make some great guitars. They used to be #1. Fenders were buzzy boat paddles. High tech cutting edge superstrats and headless meme guitars didn't exist yet. The absolute best electric guitar you could buy used to be a Gibson les Paul.

Used to. If you can grab an old one (with restrictions, lol norlin), it'll be a great guitar, definitely worth every penny. But the new ones? They're memes coated in lacquer. The stocks of great tonewood dried up. Gibson is making guitars out of scrap and manmade wood substitutes. It's only a matter of time until they start using a manmade material for the body to try and get that one-piece tone out of their guitars again. Guitars that cost half as much are often better to play, better sounding, and better looking. You're paying a premium to stand in front of a mirror and pretend to be slash. You're paying an extra thousand to point at the headstock and say "SEE THAT YOU POOR NIGGER? GET OUT OF MY GENERAL.". Well, while it's still attached. I know you fags don't take care of your shit and lean your guitars against walls and on cheap floor stands.

If you really like the look and feel that much and can't shell out for a kalamazoo gibson, buy a heritage. If it's made in nashville it isn't a gibson, it's a $2500 gibson shaped guitar that 9/10 times will meet the quality standards for a $1250 guitar and 1/10 times exceed them ever so slightly, by about $50 worth of tone.

I generally don't get into the whole tonewood thing, but if you're playing with even a touch of distortion, all of that ceases to matter. Distortion colors the sound too much for any nuance from the wood. Then it's all your fingers, and your gear.

If I were to replace the stock EMGs in my guitar with standard sized humbuckers, would they fit in the pickup cavities correctly? I was just wondering since I saw this page: seymourduncan.com/blog/product-news/introducing-the-nazgul
In which an "active size" version of the pickup is also made. However, I think this is for 7 strings, and my guitar is a 6 string.

yes, but they'll sound w...

Just sell it and start over

That guitar is probably worth as much as a set of duncans anyways

shoegaze doesnt resolve you just keep playing dreamchord after dreamchord.

Hi, I want to be able to decipher what I'm playing and be able to name any chord or shape I come across by looking at the individual notes. What music theory sources are there for developing this knowledge? Looking for a sort of reference book that could tell me that such and such makes a major, which has a blah sound as compared to minor, etc., etc. Thanks.

Kek yeah, they're not so great. Thanks user

But I like it user, it was cheap and it feels real nice to play

i'm already doing that why do you think all those Es and As and that 7th on the F#m is for
what would be a nice dream chord to follow on should i just play like a B and turn it into sus2 or sus4 to not let it fully resolve either
more than anything i'm looking for a good melody

>no whammy bar

As if.

why the fuck does everyone here own a camera from 2002

don't play covers and use a looper or backing tracks for rhythm, unless you're playing classical guitar.

Because they weigh 20 pounds.

Its fucking Toy Story you peasant. Shrek had a soundtrack, not a score.

You still haven't figured out how to use your interface? It has a built in metronome, you know.

>Haven't played guitar in years and have no interest in pursuing or making music anymore
>Guitar is selling online for $400 more than when it came out
>Almost worth a $1000 now
>Out of production and most likely will never be reproduced anytime soon

Should I sell now or wait?

It's because of your callouses flattening and hardening, so instead of being flexible around the tip of the finger they create a straighter, flatter angle of skin making it more pronounce than fingers without

You should play again.

Ask /biz/

Yeah get rid of it now, the guitar bubble is about to pop.

>thinking he was me
>thinking that sound quality was an interface

kek. i'm just goofing off on my iphone, no need to be anal retentive

Yeah, I might just sell it now.

I might take a look over there too then.

I think I've "moved on" now. I'm 24 now and just want to focus on going to university next year and getting out of the rut I've been in a while. I like music, but it'd take up a lot of my time and the music industry is shit in my country (Aus) right now, so I could never "make it" as a musician.

Why does music always have to be about "making it" and being a rock star

It's just self-entertainment and keeping your brain busy so you don't go insane, like filling out crosswords.

Lol, make it? Just enjoy yourself. It's a hobby that keeps your brain sharp like chess but is even more fun because it's inclusive with others instead of competitive.

I've never seen anyone ever think of strandbergs in an anime sense other than here

like to your ear, that sounded like i got out an interface and recording software and a real mic and sat down and tried to record something for mass media consumption.

no, i just learned to pick out the notes by ear just now and was goofing off. not even 15 minutes of practice. no need to have such severe autism :)

It's competitive but only in actual competitions

In the industry, competition is a race to the bottom. The catchiest, the cheapest and fastest to produce, the least demanding of hard to find talent. That's what wins, and the name of the game for the guys making the real money? Profiting off things other people made.

Nobody in the music industry deserves a dollar and I wish mass shootings and trucks of peace upon every label

>this dweeb thinks he's gonna make it as a metal guitarist just tremolo picking a single note really fast in rhythm

kek. i'm glad people as autistic as you exist to make me look less autistic in comparison

>I've never seen anyone ever think
Well I sure hope not!

so why in the FUCK did you say "huurrrrrrrr rdurrrrrrrrrrrr ur interface has a built in metronome HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"

LMFAO

the best part is none of the industry would be possible without copyright laws it lobbied to have extended so it could make more money off them

>to make me look
yeah it's all about appearances

IF you repealed the same laws that allow the music industry to exist, most TV shows, movies, and definitely anime would cease to exist out of low budget art projects.

well i rest easy knowing that i'm actually less autistic than you as well.

>metronome
Hey that's a good idea! Work on that

I had my heart set on it and to be completely honest, if I make music again, I'd rather do using software instead. I got into playing guitar because I wanted to join a bad in the first place.

Yeah, I know. I wish I got a better guitar instead. But, it's value went up, so I don't mind as much now.

I'd rather use that free time towards getting a good career, hitting the gym, hanging out or playing vidya desu. And I'd just use music making software if I get the itch again one day.

>In the industry, competition is a race to the bottom. The catchiest, the cheapest and fastest to produce, the least demanding of hard to find talent
And that's why if I still cared, I'd rather just produce catchy shit normies like and call it a day.

appearances can be misleading

>Vidya

Lol you'd rather consume some nerd shit than play an instrument? And you only started playing because you wanted to be a rock star?

What a sad individual you are

You couldn't write a hook if you tried. The dunning kruger of this post is insane.

Is /gg/ good enough to play Roselia covers?

>Lol you'd rather consume some nerd shit than play an instrument?
Honestly, yeah. And when I get good enough at programming, I'd rather make games because I have genuine passion for that, not music. I don't hate music, but I just want to focus on making my life as comfortable and rewarding as I can (and playing guitar doesn't do that for me anymore).

>And you only started playing because you wanted to be a rock star?
Yeah, I was a teenager and dumb.

You're probably right because I hate Top 40 music and couldn't make anything like that. If I did start making music again, I'd be fine just making shit for video games.

alright post something you played then

It's better than what people call metal these days. That's pretty sad.

There's no good music left except for jazz.

>I can't write a hook but I can compose a score

wow, this is insane

How exactly is that going to help with you procuring a metronome?

That's what practice is for, user. IF I was ever to do that, I'd study how to write to music, other scores and what makes them work etc. I don't claim to have a gift of some kind.

if you're gonna talk shit you gotta back up your own playing, otherwise nobody will respect your opinion

You not being able to keep time isn't my problem though?

nigga it's too late

the rate at which people with IQ scores below 130 or so learn this shit is extremely slow and rare neurological quirks are required for decent progression even in the high end of that range, especially for self taught individuals

you are over ten years behind the curve, by the time you are good enough to do that on your own instead of just noodly improv and covers, unless you are a rare talent with an innate tendency towards excelling in this field, you will already have an established career and you will only be at what people who went into music from the start would consider the entry level.

so you keep time even worse than me

thank you, next

nigga every single nintendo song is based on a fucking hook, koji kondo could fish out all the fish in the entire fucking ocean with the hooks he's created for every single fucking mario song, what the fuck

I know, user. It's why I don't care anymore. I was speaking hypothetically before. I'd rather just focus on building a career, getting /fit/ and being happy. I don't need to know how to write music to do that anymore.

>even worse than me
How exactly would that be possible? Lmao I'd have to have tourettes or some kind of neurological condition, wouldn't I?

>projecting
i'm sorry that you have literally 0 ability to keep time

Pretty much, and it's age dependent. Someone who begins learning an instrument at 10 can expect to be able to perform well for an audience by 15 if they're good. Someone who begins learning an instrument at 15 can expect to perform well for an audience by 25. If they're good. If you start at 25 your playing will be awkward, hesitation-laden, and full of mistakes until you're in your 40s unless this isn't the first instrument you learned, then you might be half-decent in ten years. By rhythm guitar standards.

Music is like learning to speak a second language, only without fluency it's completely useless
-Always stick to your first instrument
-Do not expect anything if you start learning an instrument after your teens

>projecting
Lmao, now you don't know what words mean either? Who straps your helmet on in the morning?

i'm sorry you were born with a neurological condition. you can't help it. i'm happy you have a tard wrangler helpful enough to make posts for you.

Well regardless of whoever your caretaker is the least they could do is teach you how to count to four. This is all you'll be needing anyway.

imagine being so much of a pussy you're too scared to post yourself playing because you suck so much dick at all instruments lol.

>one
>two
>three
>four
It's not really that hard, I don't know why you're getting so upset.

the guitar is a virtuosic instrument as it can accompany itself. there is no reason to keep time if you are playing only with yourself, you are simply using complex time signatures.

post yourself doing that in rhythm, faglord

You can even do it backwards, check it out:
>four
>three
>two
>one
But I wouldn't recommend trying it in your current state, you need to calm down a little first.

>being this much of a faggot pussy untalented hack

if i could start over i would have learned the accordion instead

Whoa now, slow down lil' fella! Breathe! We wouldn't want you to blow a gasket getting all agitated!
