remember that one day you will end up a hobo playing with only three strings wondering where it all went wrong you will do your best stuff then, but nobody will notice and then you will die
this is guitar general tranny. you posting clairo memes makes you king imbecile of /mu and we all hate you - i dont need to ask every other poster here for that request
>be me >playing my first gig ever with my frens >our bass player and me are goofing around a little while before the show >he has his based and i have my gutter >"hey user it would be cool if you did this little lead thingy at the end of such and such song" >we practise the outro together a few times >the drummer walks in and says hey guys thats pretty cool i bet i can make that work lets do it that way tonight >we go to end our last song as previously stated >everyone forgets about the slightly extended outro except for me >i end up playing this goofy ass little lead that sounds utterly retarded while the rest of the band is completely silent >all these eyes are one me thinking i made this big goof up i feel fucking silly anons. as i i was hanging around after our set i heard one dude (sarcastically) say lol nice ac/dc outro
What does it say of me that i think my friends intentionally play badly around me because they think it would hurt my feelings to know that they are better than me? I mean i go out of my way to make it obvious that i don't think very highly of my own playing.
Benjamin Perry
Man fuck those haters you shoulsve went full ham and kicked the bass drum before tossing off your guitar and jumping into the crowd

It won't be the first or last time you mess up on stage

Im suprised they play with you at all lol

I play extended range so I don't need to drop tune
Levi Howard
Well if your soiiiiii ass dont get some confidence in your soilf your playing will probably suffer and eventually they wont!!
Austin Cook
Lol I could just whatever and go with it but I'm afraid he'd not want to work with me anymore
Doubt it, don't cover it in blankets or anything and you should be fine
Cooper Adams
Ive been practicing sweep tapping does anyone have any pointers or suggestions?
Jaxson Phillips
Shes a broke joke. Guess who Gibson will sponsor first

I literally don't understand the problem. He wants an arranger and you want to do it?

I’m gonna buy my second guitar here relatively soon, and I’ve got $1,000. I’m really interested in the blackguard style Telecasters. Which models should I look for? I would like it to be pretty authentic to the originals but I’m not overly concerned about that either. I live in a really small place, so unless an opportunity comes up I’m pretty much gonna have to order online...
too many people get burned buying good gear online. are you seriously not going to go look at it in person? would never do that but have fun user
Jackson Nguyen
You got to crack some skulls and make your band pay for their mistake.
Gabriel Barnes
this desu they wont learn otherwise
Benjamin Moore
It’s just that I’m basically gonna have to do a 2 day trip if I’m gonna do that. With everything that I’ve got going on right now I can’t swing that. And even then, whose to say I find something when I go?
Joshua Baker
fuck LOL never happened to this user so you never practice huh? you gotta be tight desu the whole band be fucking real tight tighter than a virgin's asshole tighter than those wet shoelace knots that never ever loosen. that tight. like really really fucking tight or you'll be a fucking joke in the local area, can we make meme of you?
Dylan Rivera
>lose $1000 >have fun
Camden Johnson
ever play one?
Ryan Russell
owned one. was A 1988 tele, same colour (was a brighter mustard). never really liked playing it since i like to shred. It had a slower action and one of the pots was dodgey. it rarely got used. sold it to buy a car. kept my 2 ibanez instead (JS & RG - both black)
Dylan Phillips
but user we do practice. it was just this one time when my dude waslike yo lets try it this way without actually practicing it first (our drummer was hanging around saying he would he had an idea of what he would do). I thought he were gonna do it but no one else did it. >link related is the song we played > we nailed the whole thing except the outro >our bass player and drummer said to repeat to repeat a bit of the guitar solo at 2:58 just at the end of the song (but for slightly longer than you can hear in the linked version) and it sounded clumsy as fuck.
and the worst part is that we rocked through it almost flawlessly execpt for the outro (the rest of the band did exactly as it goes in the link but i went ahead and played that major lick several times to many thinking we would rock with my little major lick going over this little progression that my band mates and i had settled on). instead i dick the lick and nobody else joined in! youtu.be/5yPGQ40yqS4
I mean, I get what you’re saying. But I also wouldn’t buy something that didn’t have a good return policy on it. I could play it for a longer time than I would even get to at a shop, and if I don’t like it I could send it back.
Not a real one. The best feeling guitar I’ve ever played was one in a similar style, but sadly I don’t know what kind that was. I really connected with it though.
Yeah, the used price range on the 52 Vintage Reissue does seem to be close. That’s probably a good idea. It looks like it’s on the higher end, but now they have the 50s Original, so would that be worth saving for instead? Is there a big change between those two?
Is a 100 watt amplifier OK for bedroom practice? Can amps of wattage like this play quiet without a lose in quality? I mean, acoustic level of quiet
Justin Murphy
I'm too dumb to learn more than one tuning
Josiah Myers
Solid state or tube? You could probably get an okay sound out of a solid state at low volume but if it's tube you'll need an attenuator. Who the fuck uses 100w amps for bedroom use?
How do you remember the notes of the strings? For me, I think of yui, saying EAD Good Burger Everyone. I'm not even joking that's just how I learned it lol.
It'll sound kind of shit. Get one of those lunchbox amps that starts at something like 15w and can be switched down to lower levels, ie: engl ironball 20 goes to 1 watt, EVH 5150 LBX goes to 3.7 watts. With 100w you can't even turn it up and go into the next room if you crank it. It'll still be really fuckin loud.
Jason Morris
i suppose gibson only exports their absolute best examples to japan if that's all she had to say about it
Tyler Hall
embarrassing
James Gray
lol these people contribute nothing to society. they don't deserve a penny.
still waiting on a modern day robin hood to take pop stars ransom and make them donate 90% of their assets to charity sadly the security they pay for is too good and local PD and the FBI would actually put effort into that case
Wyatt Diaz
Do you know how to arrange things for guitar? What kind of music is it?
Matthew Roberts
Why do trannies love unattractive "women" with pitiful music careers? What makes them relate so strongly?
Asher Torres
A day laborer contributes more when he builds a bathroom where you can't crawl under the stalls, but their profits are just a front for the much larger profits of the publishers that are the entire reason you know about them.
Thanks, it's just that I can get a mg100dfx (solid state) for half the price so I thought it would be a real bargain for a nice budget start. But if it's that loud I'll try something else
Logan Edwards
Solid state amps don't have to be turned up to sound good. They actually sound bad when they go into natural distortion like that, which is why everyone hates them. They have to be played quiet and the wattage is just headroom so they don't distort more than intended.
Brandon Fisher
Yes But I'm 120% broken socially Pop rock
Dylan Edwards
So what is the original instrument(piano?) that your deriving the arrangement from? Do you have the sheet music on file?
Eli Scott
So yeah, I'll just play some lullabies with 100w amp, eh? I need to test it myself cuz it's getting too confusing
hey /gg/ I've only been learning guitar for 3 days following Justinguitars beginner course. I'm trying to change between the A D and E chords but obviously at this point my fingers are really starting to hurt to the point I can't press them down.
How often should I take breaks and how long for to minimise the issue? It seems like no matter how long I take a break for 40 minutes - 2 hours, it becomes impossible to press the frets down again after like 2 minutes
Luke Evans
have you done a hard day of work in your life? you have girl hands and need to build up strength and calluses.

Bentley Mitchell
how do I figure out the guitar tuning of a song? Currently trying to learn some old american folk songs from the Harry Smith Anthology, and I am not sure if some of the songs are in an alternative tuning or the artists are just playing awkward voicings.
Ryan Richardson
I really fucking want this guitar
It's hella expensive and I probably won't play it enough to justify the price but FUCK
Stop being a pussy and do it till your hands bleed
Ethan Perry
buy an epiphone explorer instead. It is the same silhouette unlike epiphone les pauls, epiphone explorers dont have an ugly modification so you end buying the gibson version.
Chase Green
Buy an Epiphone, they make the same kind, except that they only cost like 200-500 bucks.
b-but they don't have the slick pickguard that I can mod some day
John Cox
A lot of the time just listening for the lowest open note and knowing the style can get you there. Other than that it's just listening for the open notes on the other strings, they'll have a slightly brighter timbre. Also just feel out if there's a slight tweak you can make that makes everything feel more natural. Vast majority of artists aren't going to make a finger-jungle-gym for themselves
Zachary Torres
Cheers!
Dylan Allen
Are you the same guy from yesterday? Dude, either buy the thing for the meme name on the headstock or buy a Epiphone Lee Malia Explorer for less.
John Cooper
Buy a dean z instead. The dave mustaine one looks cool too
Caleb Gonzalez
yeah it's me
yeah I think I'll just dump the money and probably regret it
What exactly do you find so appealing about that guitar shape? Looks ugly as sin to me.
Hunter Williams
>knock off explorer lol how poor are you user
Hudson Hughes

Luke Adams
I don't know, it's just the best looking shape to me. Part of it is I'm tall and explorer shape fits me well since it's yuge.
Also a big hetfield fag
Jonathan Nguyen
I’m taking part in an “open mic Facebook group” tonight where we post live videos of half hour sets from our living rooms. Looking quite forward to it.
Asher Fisher
Nothing wrong with getting what you like my dude. But to be honest, you're really paying for the Gibson name on the headstock. You don't even get the usual Gibson appointments on that model. No fret nibs nor fancy inlays.
I'm not gonna bash you for it because it's all personal preference, but it looks like you really want to prove to /gg/ that you have a Gibson.
What makes you want to get one? They really uncomfortable to play sitting down.
Samuel Thompson
better buy a steinberger spirit much better light guitar.
Luis Fisher
Crack skulls, pffffff, amatures. A real rock god would do all their coke, fuck their girlfriends, and steal their publishing.
Thomas Carter
>No fret nibs nor fancy inlays. I very much like the simple dots, reminds me of my classical that I played so long
>you're really paying for the Gibson name on the headstock That's true and it's bugging me a bit since I usually hate brandfags in everything else
>like you really want to prove to /gg/ that you have a Gibson. Oh I'm not going to reveal I have a jibson to anyone here, this is just me looking for discouragement and someone to tell me it's going to fall apart and that the quality is shit
Zachary Cruz
I think he wants a guitarist that can come up with guitar parts and record them
>i cant play without pedals covering up my mistakes and lack of talent
Elijah Bailey
i... did not mean to post that picture
Landon Martin
I like the look of it and some of my favorite artist used it. Not gonna get a Gibson though, too pricy. Not a fan of the look, I want that classic black flying V look.
Besides that, nothing is stopping you from shredding on one in the first place. Flat necks are for fucking manlets anyway. Old v shaped necks are the best with some meat to grab onto. D shapes are for complete manlets with babby hands
Should be about 300-400 bucks if you want those. I got my first axe for 90 with amp and all at a musicians fleamarket, try checking your area for something like that?
I don't mind I really like all the Monogatari girls.
Nathaniel Roberts
then up yours pal
Brody Lopez
how has this thread been up for this long with nobody mentioning kaka yet? is it okay if I ask a kaka question?
is kaka just shit?
Brody Flores
/gg/ IS kaka breh
Jayden Ramirez
That is all it is. It's the simple act of farting a turdlog out of your stenchy asshole and onto the fretboard. the grease will help you play really fast, but it's at the expense of the finish of the guitar unless you like stinky kaka.
Josiah Bell
what is kaka
Benjamin Morris
doodee

> tfw use your hardtail superstrat to play jazz and classic rock
it's just so comfy and nice to play
Thomas Williams
you prolly suck tho
Isaiah Garcia
this will keep happening for another week or two. play through the pain for 10-15 minutes, but not too hard. definitely don't play until you bleed. the pain will lessen each day until you have the callouses to play effortlessly.
Gabriel Adams
true which is why i need every advantage i can get
Joshua Diaz
easiest way is to figure out the root note, then play the major 3rd and the minor 3rd, whichever matches will be your key. play that scale along with the song to make sure everything lines up and you have your key.
Daniel Hall
Got a big muff and a blues driver What next? Can't decide between reverb, chorus, or something else entirely different. $50-75 range. Looking to make indie rock or maybeee noise rock/noise pop.
Oliver Edwards
is there any reason a amp plugged into my wall could start a fire I kind of have a bad feeling about it and opting towards battery only
Jace Nelson
BURN YOU UP
Jonathan Jones
I don't understand guys like you. My answer? Anything I can get my hands on. Why do you need asspats? Buy something that intrigues or inspires you, why does what anyone here think matter at all? Are you exploring tone, or just trying to get attention?
He's not trying to figure out the key, he wants to know if they used things like open D tuning, and whatever the fuck he thinks "awkward tunings" are.
I know this place is one of the most low effort guitar/music forums online, but for fuck's sake.
Anthony Evans
I want anything I can get my hands on, I want to play with tone. But I don't have the money to go out and buy one of every major type of pedal atm and I'm new to guitar so I'm here asking for advice on if there's any people would prioritize getting over others. I plan on having a chorus, a reverb, a delay, a phaser, another distortion/fuzz, an equalizer, etc. all some day.
Kevin Morris
gay rhoads v is better
t. blues dad with awful posture and technique. classical position is better than whatever your technique, or lack thereof, is
Jackson Roberts
everyone needs reverb and maybe delay chorus was the pedal i used the least, though it can get you slimy, sludgy or psychedelic sounds if you get creative with it
t. metalfag
Elijah Torres
Nice tips satan. Don't hoard shitty pedals, you know those cool-ass big dick 200 dollar pedals you're lusting for right now? Get them, if you can't now, save up. You're gonna hate yourself for hoarding 30 of the shittest ass Boss and Behringer pedals.
Christian Clark
Those are quads you idiot
Hudson Murphy
how different are the older ibanez infinity pickups vs the current quantum pickups?
Cameron Hernandez
>ibeenhadz kek
Kayden Gray
there's cheap chink alternatives of every fucking vintage pedal, you'll be fine as long as you aren't getting dsp chink pedals like loopers, multi effects, cab sims or anything in that vein.
most transistor based pedal cost less than 50 bucks to make. hell, most fuzz pedals cost like 15 bucks to build.
you can buy a 400 dollar tube screamer if you want, but if you're lucky, it'll sound marginally better than the plastic behringer clone
Cooper Nelson
lmao i want to play guitar not be an electriction fuckboi
Sebastian Williams
Yes user he already got two dirt boxes I was assuming he's been looking at demos of other kinds of pedals that you can't get for dirt cheap from chink sources.
redpill me on the blacktop jazzmaster what are some notable flaws and inconveniences of owning one? i've heard that the bridge sucks and should be replaced, common issue with fret buzz. and that the electronics are bad, but is all that a real issue or just myth? is there anything else to note?
saw a pretty good deal at the store, and wanted some input on 'em. i know some of you fa/gg/s own jazzmasters
Why didnt this nasty looking ogre bitch die in a fire in japan too?
Evan Cruz
I have one. They stop working at the 3 year mark like clockwork. Sounds good while it lasts though. Mine is the 333xl infinium. The proprietary tech makes it pricier to repair to the point where it makes no sense because buying a new one would be wiser.
I just need a sanity check on this... Great price but the body finish/pickguard don't match the serial number data or the headstock. It's gotta be a frankenstein, right? The neck seems legit but for all I know the body and electronics are Chinese garbage
By the way her chest and ass look you could have fooled me.
Charles Cook
Any Squier, Dean, Epiphone, Ibanez RG, or Kramer you find is fine these days. You could pick up a Kramer Focus for like $130 new, or a craigslist beater to destroy for $50. Quality is higher than it used to be before 2004 or so.
Oliver Russell
Does esp make (or used to make) a solid red guitar with a floyd rose and a pointy headstock?
