i have a question regarding solos. i know scales and shit but whenever i try to solo using them it's very obvious i'm conforming to a strict scale. the most interesting parts of my solos are the ones i've borrowed licks from other solos. does anyone have any good solos to learn that utilize a bunch of nice sounding shit up and down the neck?

So what actually makes an american fender so great? If you got a MIM and swapped out the pickups, bridge and neck for something you'd find in an MIA, what would actually be the difference?

>what would actually be the difference?
It still would have been made in Mexico.

Yeah but it would basically have all the american "quality" parts except for the body. So in terms of how the guitar actually plays I assume there would be no difference whatsoever.

well america will be a part of mexico in the future so it doesn't even matter

I can

prove it.

When I do intense bends specifically on the higher strings, I manage to nudge the lower strings and make them slightly ring out. How do I stop this? I do sort of forget to trim my nails, plus I play a squire affinity so might just be the action of the guitar

Dont have to

>I play a squire affinity

then you can't. What's your gear?

This is what Mexicans actually believe.

no one cares, and if you have posted your videos here, you can't play

Why dont you prove me wrong instead?

If you go through the hassle of buying a MIM and upgrading all that, you really should just buy an MIA to begin with. These days the MIA still come with a proper hard case as well. Also some features are unique to MIA, like the neck shape and fret size or other refinements. The rounded fingerboard edges are nice too.

>making an effort for you
lol
enjoy your schizo

Someone in the other thread mentioned Ed Roman on the 24 frets thing. That guy didn't know what the fuck he was talking about and his point flies out the window as soon as you fret a note. P.S. the neck pickup on a 24 fret guitar demonstrably sounds worse than a 21 or 22, particularly for humbuckers.

Three saddles, compensated is the true patrician's choice.

see , also it is easier to talk about gear

They're both made by Mexicans, one is just over the border.

I'm tired of making different versions of the same backing track to record so I'm randomizing with dice because I'm a gigantic faggot.

d12 -> root
d6 -> mode, somehow
d6 -> number of chords before looped
40 + (d12 * 10) -> tempo

thinking about getting rid of mixolydian or some shit like that. Or doing major/minor. Thoughts, anyone?

Glad to be here I never left

I know. And you never will.

Very. I've been trying to find a decent deal on a used one for a while now. This PJ looks really good too.

Attached: aerodyne_PJ.jpg (750x562, 83K)

d12 is mode, but include pentatonics as well as diatonic modes. The pentatonics you can play pentatonic or select one of three modes per pentatonic.

*wink*

What is this autistic system you're referring to? I want to try

Lol why u mad tho

Can you give me a brief rundown on pentatonic modes? Wouldn't that just be 5 of the diatonic modes? Or are you saying use the root and then there are five modes built on the pentatonic scale, which could fit any of 3 diatonic modes?

I just roll 4 dice (d12 = 12 sided die) and it tells me key, tempo, and number of chords. you can try with online dice rollers if you want and have a way to make back tracks.

not mad, not more than normally though. I just don't like special fags who claim shit and fags with silent guitars.

Ah makes sense now that you explained it for brainlets like me. I'll give it a go.

Oops from old thread

how long does it take until my fingers stop being so sensitive and get harder?

I can’t even practice properly because they’re too soft and the tips just kinda spread out over the string after like 5 mins.

what amp do you use, /gg/

what genre do you play

how do you rate your amp

Vox AC15. Shoulda got the AC30. It's good. Play jazz fusion a lot. Compressor and envelope filter along with a decent od does the trick fine.

Like a week of decent playing max, that's when you'll get the calluses.

Get smaller gauge strings and slowly work your way up to beefy strings.

>Shoulda got the AC30
Why?

Because more is always better.

Not but hes right kek. Just a few extra features that would be nice

I'm sure we were all there. Without proper instruction or a teacher we all just fucked around covering random songs badly. It wasnt until college when I was doing classical guitar that I really figured out how to practice efficiently.

so this is how losers and faggots think? what a manchild you are

no. thats why everyone says to play in person before buying. everyone has different comfort

Go lift some weights lol.

What types of guitars' value appreciates over time? Obviously vintage ones, any other?

what amp?

Limited edition ones or custom handmade ones, that's really it outside of vintage. Everything else gets mass produced so much it won't ever appreciate. Think about it like cars, no one would buy something like a 00s toyota corolla for appreciation value because everyone in the world had/has one

He he

thr10, or 10x (preferably do it on regular 10)

Sexy as hell
Im jelly of the lucky bastards who own these

Buy secondhand and they'll at least hold their value. It's difficult to predict though. Epiphone Sheratons are a good example, here they went for 300-350 a few years ago and now people are selling them for 500+ if they're Korean or Japanese.

If I had money to bet though, I'd buy a 70s Strat. They're awful guitars, but if the bottom doesn't drop out of the vintage market, they'll be the next Strat to increase in value.

Can we talk about something other than gear?
Feels bad for all the poorfags here mang

why don't you talk about something then instead of complaining
thats the point of first guitars. also, we can learn set ups on them without worrying about damaging it as much

the regular thr10 has a couple high gain settings that work fine

the 10x just has a bunch of different flavors of high gain

you can probably just dial in a good sound on the regular one

Ok, I'll give it a go as I am bad for talking about only gear.

Its one of those albums that no matter how good you thought you were at guitar and writing it will put your ass in a humble space real quick. Absolute guitar perfection.

New Sensor Corp (Electro-Harmonix) owns both Sovtek and Tung-Sol. They're both made in Russia.

I've always been more interested in rhythm and chords but lately I've been trying to learn some guitar solos and it's been surprisingly fun. Recommend me some solos to learn /gg/. For reference, these are the last two solos I learned:

youtu.be/qEaf9LqIUZQ?t=70 (the solo at 1:11)

Mables fatal fable

Fuck that's sexy. Usually I don't care about the way a guitar looks but I would buy that for looks alone. Was it a limited edition run or something? I tried googling it and the price was pretty good (~$500) but everywhere was sold out

ok then, I was wondering what made you pathetic enough to be on /gg/

Longevity: the Tungsols have comparatively better usage life than most current pre-amp tubes, and vintage tubes were out of my price range.

I mean, the dude can shred without a doubt. But I get kind of bored when 100% of the song is neoclassical technical wankery. It can be a cool effect for a bit, but after a while I want him to play an actual melodic line and not just arpeggios to classical progressions at 300 bpm

As far as I know, there was a metal band in the early 2000s whose bassist had a signature bass with Fender featuring piano black finish, cream binding, no pickguard. Fender dug the look so they made a limited run I think 2004-2007 of guitars. They still make the bass but not the guitar.

See, this is why. No responses. It's less effort to argue about our preconceived notions about gear.

I went back and listened and it was better than I remembered. Drums sound absolutely awful though., I think I'd almost prefer if the whole album was just guitar.

They're s line is a fucking atrocity to look at and if you handle one irl it feels toylike and fake

Fuck off roman.

Drums with reverb are pretty dated.

I've thought about doing that but I don't know if I trust shrinks. I studied psychology and saw what shaky foundations the whole thing is on, and that the nuts were running the nuthouse. When I was looking for doctors specialising in autism/Aspergers/HFA, I realised that the main person doing that in my country was a fraud and pretty much diagnosing anyone with Aspergers if they gave her 200 bucks.

Glad someone gets it. Its fucked uo to lie to yourself and to others about what you will do with your life. Its going to be a big waste. The sooner everyone accepts that the easier it gets

wtf why do you imply that

Make yourself an extension speaker out and run at least another 1x12 alnico. It will sound larger, glassy, and awesome.

You're not playing a jcm800 or plexi though.

youtu.be/uxxzvXRflsg

>right now it sounds kinda nasal and trebly

That's literally the Vox sound, if you want something different you might want to just trade it for a Marshall if you want that tone. A new speaker won't change the sound that dramatically.

yeah i know it's single ended, it wont sound like a large 100w marshall but im sure the speaker plays a role

i may invest in a 2x12 cab instead of 1x12 if it will help

can i achieve that with something that's not a Greenback or V30?

Intonation will probably be fine. String height won't though. All you have to do is sand the bottom to the correct height

I'd still rather just get a different amp if I were you desu AC30s still have that super trebly sound and they have 2x12 speakers.

Fuck that I'm becoming an onlinechad now

It's true. I honestly used to respect psychology as a field of study much more before I actually took a few high-level psych courses in college in order to round out my neuroscience major. The amount of baseless conjecturing that's taken as fact and the insane leaps in logic people routinely made without any sort of pushback was disheartening. It's a really strange hybrid of using the scientific method to design experiments and then drawing whatever conclusions they were already looking for from them based on their own presupposed biases.

It reminded me a lot of literature classes. I met some really brilliant people and the ones who are passionate about the subject and treat it with the respect and rigor it deserves can make really keen and enlightening observations. But the majority of people there are either nitwits who don't understand how to structure a logical argument based on evidence (textual or empirical as the case may be) or people who understand they can skate through the class with minimum effort if they so choose. Except English majors don't have a say in public health policies the way some psych graduates will end up doing.

About 5 or 6 years ago I remember I got some cheap $100 j bass, played it for about a week, then never touched it.

Should I just dumpster it? It takes up a decent amount of space in my room and it has zero value anywhere to stores or people.

>Neuroscience
Very cool. Another problem is that a huge chunk of their studies are carried out on psychology students, who are obviously different than the general populace and in a very different environment. There is a lot of interesting, profound stuff in the area. My main problem really is when you get into diagnoses. It feels like if you deviate even slightly from what they think of as a normal, functioning human, they'll slap a diagnosis on you which will follow you through life. Just like the woman I mentioned, a lot of her patients might be completely normal but she's a quack and will just slap whatever diagnosis they're looking for on them

Nah give it away, instruments are rarely so crappy that they would be better off scrapped

Scrapped my Squire strat fucking around and learn how to solder it was 50 bucks from a pawn shop so only 2 hours worth of work down the drain.

At this level of superstrat-ness you'd think they'd opt for a two post bridge and locking tuners like they do with the american strats

Shrinks are so insane they started calling a personality type that's insanely common in northern europe and east asia "high functioning autism" (formerly aspergers) and initially blamed it on poor parenting. And now they're getting neurology and yes, fucking phrenology involved so you can find out if your kids are going to turn out danish.

Are rickenbacker guitars a meme? I grew up listening to Johnny Marr and Peter Buck and that jangly twelve-string shit is what I think of when I think of guitar honestly. I've wanted one long before I played guitar. Are they worth the money?
Is there any point in getting one when I already have a strat?

Its only worth the money of you can justify it to yourself, try to find a shop near you and play one if you can.

12 strings are like chorus pedals but for people with taste

>Paying 2k + for a glitter paint job
Ouch

>havent fapped in the past 3 days
>everytime I get the urge just practice guitar instead

Might just keep doing this desu I've played a minimum of 3 hours everyday. I used to beat off 3 times a day everyday.

It's not like they're not worth it. Those are better made than most American strats, but not all of them are good, and since they're mail order only you roll the dice. Maybe you'll get one that's only as good as the average strat. Maybe you'll get one that isn't even close. All guitars vary, they're made of fucking wood.

Since you live in the US you can try out dozens of American strats and pick one out that's as good or better than high end meme guitars for half the price. I don't expect this to change unless zoomers get some fucking taste and snappers start replacing ibanez RGs and chinese jacksons on guitar store walls.

it's like suhr

they're slightly different from anything fender sells stock so people pay a gigantic markup instead of custom ordering something with a one-off neck profile and special electronics, because that's what people with jobs do.

Should I get a Squier Bullet Strat or an Epiphone Les Paul SL for my first electric guitar?

get the squier bullet strat with a whammy bar

it's not a strat without a whammy bar, it's an autistic telecaster

>I don't expect this to change unless zoomers get some fucking taste and snappers start replacing ibanez RGs and chinese jacksons on guitar store walls.

Why would the average guitar store replace easy to sell guitars they buy in bulk over harder to obtain guitars that move volume slow. Business choices like that is how you kill your shop in less than 3 months of opening outside of the high end shops known for only carrying expensive gear.

I wish these little wheel-at-the-heel truss rod adjusters like ESP, Charvel, and Schecter use were standard. It looks so much cleaner and it's easier to get a wrench in there since there's less string resistance at the body.

They would be easy to sell if zoomers had some fucking taste and stopped buying shitty ibenhads, chink jacksons, schitters, and deans.

the boomer manufacturers refuse to offer guitars with similar specs to those you listed. people are left with no choice but to buy something like an ibanez.

actually MIA fenders have thinner and flatter necks these days and charvel is a brand of fender

What are some quality brands then? Or just go for those weird custom guitars made by bored musicians you find at local stores?

I got a bullet strat for $50. Stock pickups are absolute trash but you can use it as an opportunity to practice soldering and replacing them. Once I upgraded them it sounded fine. Decent sound and playability for under $100

Find one at a store, play it, decide if it's worth however much they're asking. These sorts of things are so subjective only you can really answer them. Maybe do some research on brand quality, how hard they are to maintain relative to a regular guitar, etc.

Cringe. If you can't say what you want with 12 frets, you should just give up the instrument.

>P.S. the neck pickup on a 24 fret guitar demonstrably sounds worse than a 21 or 22, particularly for humbuckers.

It's just slightly brighter, retard. Big deal.

>he needs twelve frets

Talentless. Creatively bankrupt. Unintelligent. Ugly. Probably Filipino. These are the words that describe you if you need more than six frets to make good music.

Listen to solos that you like and identify the small chunks that are your favorite parts and then make those into exercises that you can work through the scale shapes you know.

Sing along

This thread collectively took up his legacy and dedicated itself to shitposting about gear, only with the 40 years of experience building guitars replaced by 2 years experience watching demo videos on youtube and the renowned custom shop replaced by a few telecasters in different colors.

I got it as a christmas gift from my dad along with my first electric guitar in 2005, I've felt no need to replace it

I just checked eBay. Not even ONE Chibson Firebird X, NOT EVEN ONE! You see, the Chinese guitar builders are MUCH smarter than Gibson is. They make a Les Paul BETTER than the junk that Gibson sells you for $6,500 and they sell it, postpaid mind you, for $350. I bought one to compare with the real Les Paul's I had. The pickups on my Chib. were Epiphone Es-335 pickups, they came aged and looked like they were ripped out of a 1959 Les Paul Burst...the sound? A little weak, The pots and input were fine, no noises no problems with wiring, and a very clean job done. Outside: The guitar arrived from China in 16 days. They told me if could take up to 2 months (the seller later told me they saw that because sometimes a guitar gets confiscated from customs and they send you another one, free of charge, and then it would take longer). I opened the box and was amazing at first sight! It looked exactly like my buddy's R9 that he paid $6,500 for. I played it...it arrived IN TUNE with NO BUZZ, something my buddy and me both agreed was better than our real Gibsons, which needed fretwork, and a pro setup. I plugged it in...no noise, clean, crisp tone, still no buzz...that's after being flown from China!! Gibson cannot accomplish that when they come from Nashville!

Now, to be honest, I upgraded my Chibson with a set of Wizz PAF knockoffs (because Gibson cannot make faithful PAFs) and my Chibson sounds better than the Les Pauls I had (I've since sold the real ones) and my buddy's R9. He bought one from the same guy a month later and it's all he plays either. I've had this Chibson for a year and a half and I'm ordering a goldtop. You can get them relic'd or mint. You can get custom work of any kind done. You can even request to have the guitar sent to you without any electronics so you can skip having to rip everything out if that's what you're going to do and that'll save you money too.
If Gibson is reading this (which they're not, because we all know they don't care about their customers (or ex-customers like myself) but if they are reading this here's my message: When you start making quality guitars for a reasonable price that arrive playable then I'll go check them out. I won't buy one ever again, once, twice, a thousand time bitten...I'll also put my Chibby up against any guitar you guys make, ANY guitar, and I'll out tone you every time...why? It's 99% about the pickups.

Check out those natural finish Ibanez RGs/RGAs.

Just got a Mini Dirty Shirley.

Various rock genres and a bit of classical.

9/10. Sounds better than anything I've heard before, particularly nice attack. Only thing I'm not too pleased with is that it's really bassy, but so far it's been fine with the bass rolled off to 8-9 o'clock.

Im new guitarist, but been playing on off for 2 years on my strat squier.

So.. I tried a cort les paul and found the guitar sits lower on my lap, and also its just not as nice to play? This is a nice cort les paul by the way not the beginner range.. the fit and finish is fine. Was wondering if this is typical of lespauls not being as nice to play? Or should i try the real deal?

If they aint as nice I'd rather play a super strat or soemthing. I am after a new HH guitar with no bullshit floydrose crap.

Suggestions ? or lespauls should be considered?

how do i fret without getting carpal tunnel

Charvel and Jackson have a few hardtail HH models

So what's a superstrat to you? ST with double humbuckers? The pacifica 120H is probably the cheapest hardtail that isn't poop.

checked the aus ebay/gumtree/facebook and theres nothing.

I guess I just gotta do the usual searches and be patient.. no luck today

Do you have Reverb in Australia? That's worth a look. Also Craigslist, but bring a male friend.

>Reverb
nah thats an american thing, i've exhausted my marketplace searches. All good I will buy a HH another time when theres more listings later

> If only all the HH super strats I see for cheap didnt have a floyd rose

There's quite a few options if you're after that sort of thing e.g. various Jacksons, ESP Ltds, Schecter C1s, Ibanez RGA and S series. If you need a poorman's hardtail superstrat then I've seen Ibanez RG421s and RGA32 go for around 120-150 squid used.

You could filter for hardtail superstrats on thomann or some other site, and then look for used examples of a guitar you like.
