it's not about playing a squier it's about evaluating a guitar when you want to buy one and what to look out for. but clearly you're too blinded by your shitstained shitpost goggles to see that

You wouldn't believe the killer deals on ESP Horizons I turned down because of that. Including a mint one from the 90s, practically unplayed, for $500. But this guy seems to be enjoying his.
I have money I just wanna try out if my setup actually works :D. Pretty much a beginner. But thanks for the reply nonetheless you cheeky dog.

imho fetishistic trannies, especially ugly ones, tend to choose odd guitars because the root of their condition is ultimately autism. they're too socially oblivious to follow the herd even if they want to.
also hence why they have no idea that what they're doing is ridiculous. and electric guitar, being a nerd instrument these days, is going to be common with them because they're nerds with an autism-related sexual disorder called erotic target location error (the same thing that makes people who jerk off to diapers turned on by the idea of turning into a diaper).
The autism tranny correlation makes alot of sense. One of my friends has a severely autistic brother who is so autistic he can't say a complete sentence and shaves his eyebrows with razors, well we caught him jerking it whike qearing his moms bra.andwe were like wtf because he never exhibited any gay behaviour his whole life and in fact we know he liked women but that autism makes him do very strange things.
What do I need to learn to play guitar? I’ve tried learning piano but the loss of direction put me off. I don’t want the same thing to happen to guitar :( Here’s the list of what I think I should know: - Chords (I know around 11) - Theory (idk what specifically) - Keep Playing?

I'm wary of TC Electronic. A lot of their products really interest me, like their compressor. I use a Polytune2 Mini, and it has been great to me so far *knocks on wood*
However, a bandmate and I both got the Spark Mini booster and the footswitch failed in both units. It was great while it worked, but now I have trust issues.

What do you guys think about buying an instrument that's like a special edition for an artist? Reason why I ask I am in love with the sound of Tim Henson and Ichika and want to build off of their sound when I'm at a level where I'm ready to make stuff. Tim has a deal with Ibanez where he's selling a special edition guitar which I think would be a great purchase, but I'm feeling a bit nagged by something. I feel like it's a bad idea to use an instrument specially designed for someone else to create your own sound. Plus, I can't help but feel it causes you to be viewed less seriously for using it. Am I overthinking this or is my concern a legitimate one? If it is, could anyone who is versed in Ibanez direct me to what would be some good options?
I've probably got more than 10, but a lot of them are cheap shit. I'm planning to sell a few in the near future like my B.C. Rich Warlock and Jackson RR because I just don't use them anymore, and I'd like to make room for more.
Sometimes I wish I was one of those guys with just one really expensive guitar instead of mostly planks.
Isaiah Ramirez
I'd say go for it. A lot of my favorite guitars are signature models.
Robert Parker
That's never stopped anyone from playing a Les Paul.
Ryder Diaz
There are a bunch of drips and light spots on the edges too if you look at it from an angle and the volume pot was too low on the shaft so it dragged on the body. Lmao.
It's not worth returning because it does sound a lot warmer and less harsh than my other guitar with the same pickups, it doesn't need a truss rod adjustment after flying from seattle to a dryer city, the neck doesn't give me hand cramps for once, and the gloss finish is glassy smooth instead of sticky (magic), but this is the last time I buy a guitar off the internet and if I ever buy another ESP, or even an Ibanez, it's going to go under a microscope.
In other fields, everyone plays a virtually identical instrument
Instead of worrying about that learn from my mistake and don't mail order an Asian guitar
Thanks. I figure I'll learn using this thing and then in the future make something custom to fit "my sound" or whatever. >Instead of worrying about that learn from my mistake and don't mail order an Asian guitar What's the story behind this? Not sure if you're referencing or not.

Aiden Cox
What country makes the worst guitars?
Grayson Moore
Guitar is all about the journey not the destination. So you should balance playing for fun and playing to get better. If you did nothing but drills all the time not only would you get sick of it but you'll stop playing with feeling.
So you should know all the relative chords for C Major/A Minor, G Major/E Minor and later D Major/B Minor and F Major/D Minor. Once you know the chords for C Major or G Major you can start writing songs by selecting any chords you want. You can also start jamming over said chord progressions by memorizing the scales and chord tones.
For chord tones it follows C, A, G, E, D up the neck and reverse for down the neck which spells "Caged." So if you made flash cards for the notes of the neck you could visualize the chord tones for each note. The perfect fifth is on the same fret as the root one string down and the major third is one fret back and one string up. Then the minor third is one fret behind the major third. You have to correct for 4 half steps between the G and B strings but you can use the "Caged" chords to quickly figure it out.
I described a ton of shit so don't try to do it all at once. Take the time to learn songs along the way so you can play better and faster while you learn the aforementioned theory.

One steel string acoustic, one bass, one classical, one superstrat, one tele, and a banjo that I'm selling because I rarely get into banjo pickin' redneck moods anymore.
Also planning on selling the tele and EMGs in the superstrat and putting some coil-splittable pickups in the superstrat.

If it's an electric, take it to a specialist to check if the frets and the neck are in order, the anchor bolt and the bridge are adjusted properly, all that stuff. Guitars spend a lot of time in boxes and usually need some work done by the time they're finally bought.

Cooper Reed
>The more you do harder chords eventually they become really easy
You mean you can get better at an instrument if you actually practice?
Yea basically. Everyone bitches and complains but if you devote a month to just hard chords every single day you can progress a lot. Most guitarists are extremely lazy/lack discipline though from my exp
Blake Smith
It's common sense but many people don't believe it in their heart of hearts.

What company makes good pickups then? I want to get the most vintage sounding Strat and LP pickups (1959 sounding). For the LP sound I'm thinking of getting the '59s by Seymour Duncan and I've seen others for the Strat sound too, also by Seymour Duncan. Any recommendations?
Ryan Gray
if it's brand new take it to a guitar shop and ask for a set up. It will be cheap and unless it's an expensive custom shop it will definitely need it. I'd say do the same if it's used but it's less likely to be as bad.
Luis Ross
lollar
Jason James
Well SD isn't terrible, I mean in the end pickups are totally personal preference. They're just one of those 'generic' brands that usually causes a retail markup and a few of the pickups are just mass produced and don't really offer the tonal quality that they claim. DiMarzio has some options you could check out and I'd also recommend stuff that Kiesel and Xotic sells. Xotic has the raw vintage series which IMO sound really nice.

nice mix btw One thing I'd say is put more mids in your guits. Bass and drums are carrying the whole thing and the guitar is just kind of a trebly stab on the sides
But weren't you talking about my jcm900? Let me record you something then.
Logan Wood
Can someone explain to a retard like me what are the cons of a locking trem? Are the strings more annoying to change? I have 2 guitars with a strat-esque tremolo (one of them is a strat) and I've been put off getting a guitar with a bigsby because changing the strings would piss me off.
Camden Hill
Yeah, initially learning the setup and changing strings is a pain in the ass. So much so that some people just refuse to bother with it. IMO its not that bad once you get it down, but I've never needed the extra tuning stability. Basically its just tedious. That headless guitar is not the same as a locking trem though
Joshua Scott

Levi Lee
No im not buddy fuck sam though hes a nasty retarded piece of shit
The essence of a chord is in its root, 3rd, and 7th. You can even leave out the root. The 3rd and 7th are called "guide tones." Try playing a blues with just the 3rd and 7th of each chord. Sounds pretty legit, right?
Justin Cox
these actually play really well
Adam Butler
i have a cort 7 string with EMGs in it i paid $200 for lol
Jack Fisher
Also, if you need to leave a note out of a chord to make room for another note, the 5th is usually a safe bet to drop, unless it's an altered 5th (b5 or #5). The reason is that the vast majority of the chords you're going to play all have a perfect 5th, so that interval doesn't really tell the listener much about what makes a chord unique.
Chase Green
>Try playing a blues with just the 3rd and 7th of each chord. Sounds pretty legit, right? If you leave out the root note then thats just a two note powerchord without an octave, isn't it?
Jaxon Russell
It's a double-stop, not a power chord, technically.
Jaxson Roberts
I own 3 guitars:
>Yamaha CGS104A >Axman Strat >Westone Les Paul
The Axman has a dead note on fret 15 of the high e, the Yamaha is strung using different kind of strings and the Westone has a piece of string laid under the g string so it doesn't buzz as much, though it still does.
just realized the used acoustic I've had for 3 years has an ebony fretboard and bridge. bretty nice.

Thinking about picking up an ES-335 Studio as well.

That's grain filler. The mahogany they used probably got gouged or split during manufacturing and they filled it before finishing.
SD '59 isn't really very PAF sounding. Burstbucker 1 neck / Burstbucker 2 bridge is probably the way to go if you want that vintage sound. IMO '59 is too hot.

For the sake of your own sanity: pick some beginner songs. Learn them. Then loop back around and learn the theory behind them. If you sit with a guitar on your knee looking at nothing but a chord chart and a series of scales, you will not have fun.
how do you become a guitarist who can't play the guitar?
