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?
Jeremiah Butler
>what would actually be the difference? It still would have been made in Mexico.
Connor Peterson
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.
Isaac Harris
well america will be a part of mexico in the future so it doesn't even matter

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

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.
Zachary Smith
>making an effort for you lol enjoy your schizo
Jordan Sullivan
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.

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.

What types of guitars' value appreciates over time? Obviously vintage ones, any other?
Justin Gray
what amp?
Eli Ward
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
Sexy as hell Im jelly of the lucky bastards who own these
Aaron Campbell
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.

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 10x just has a bunch of different flavors of high gain
you can probably just dial in a good sound on the regular one

The nut size on my new MiM strat says it's 1.650in so pretty much 42mm, this graphtech says 1 11/16" in so pretty much 43mm. Would this fit? Is it actually a big difference in sustain and keeping tune?

New Sensor Corp (Electro-Harmonix) owns both Sovtek and Tung-Sol. They're both made in Russia.
What realistically was the difference in splitting the pre amp and power sections with two different tube brands that are essentially the same?
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:
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
Ian Sullivan
ok then, I was wondering what made you pathetic enough to be on /gg/
Christopher Reed
Longevity: the Tungsols have comparatively better usage life than most current pre-amp tubes, and vintage tubes were out of my price range.
David Sanchez
>he can't afford a Gibson because he spends all his money on dildos and buttplugs
I unironically see nothing wrong with spending all your money on dildos and buttplugs, ESPECIALLY if it means none of that money is being spent on Gibsons. Fight me.
It's a very specific sound, and if you don't use the right materials for your neck you can kiss any semblance of a lead tone goodbye.

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.
i think their trems and necks are fine, but you're pretty spot on with the rest of it. i wish they'd just offer their guitars in solid colour options. their burst/wood grain finishes look dogshit.

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.

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.

I guess Metallica used one on whichever album. Wanted me to hook up the speaker and instrument cables for him idk. I was already working with 3 other customers, "I can help you out in just a minute." Like 45 seconds later busy checking someone out "Fuck YOU! Can't even see you've got a paying customer. YOu don't know what the fuck you're doing and should be fired."
I just went to this brother's room to borrow a pencil for a second and saw my guitar standing on his wall He was in the bed with the phone and i asked "did you get my guitar just to let it hang on your wall?" and he said "dont worry i wiped the dust off" FUCKIN REEEEE IM LYING TO SLEEP AND I WANT TO SCREAM
Isaac Martinez
Make yourself an extension speaker out and run at least another 1x12 alnico. It will sound larger, glassy, and awesome.
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.
Joshua Edwards
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?
Wyatt Morales
Intonation will probably be fine. String height won't though. All you have to do is sand the bottom to the correct height
Nolan Nguyen
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.

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.
Nathan Jenkins
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.
Brody Morales
There r rosties irl sitting right near me. They r talking about rap n shit.
>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

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.

Elijah Richardson
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.
Isaac King

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.

>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.
Camden Bennett
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.
Tyler Phillips
They would be easy to sell if zoomers had some fucking taste and stopped buying shitty ibenhads, chink jacksons, schitters, and deans.
Adam Hernandez
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.
Caleb Phillips
actually MIA fenders have thinner and flatter necks these days and charvel is a brand of fender
Austin Hughes
What are some quality brands then? Or just go for those weird custom guitars made by bored musicians you find at local stores?
Sebastian Lopez
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
Luis Robinson
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.

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. OH yeah, and FUCK GIBSON and double FUCK AGNESSI!!
anyone who disagrees is a failed musician wanking on some retarded "super guitar" >oh boy, more than 21 frets and it's not a tele, strat, or les paul! now i can finally make some music! >i'm definitely more right than all these people who are famous for playing guitar, i'm from the future!

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.
It's not much of a heritage or a tradition when it's 80 years old at the very most and most of it is played out pop music that nobody wants to hear ever again.

nice rec...looks good but i just did a search on the ebays and they're all brand new at 4000 ozbux.
LTD ones are going for 1k and I am in need of a poorman used guitar.
If only all the HH super strats I see for cheap didnt have a floyd rose, i dont want to deal with a headache nightmare as I can barely change strings. Whats a good range of somethings that are plentiful?
Do you have Reverb in Australia? That's worth a look. Also Craigslist, but bring a male friend.

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.
Lmaoing at the retarded boomers ITT. My Japanese made ibeenhad has better fretwork/workmanship than your Mexican shitplank fender with 7.5 radius fretboard.
>dimarzio pickups >jumbo frets on a 17inch radius rosewood fretboard (unlike fender poo ferro) >impeccable Fretwork, low action easy to play >thin 5 piece maple/walnut neck (not fender recycled baseball bat) >coil splitting for versatility >stable as fuck fixed bridge because I don’t use whammy anyway (fenders have vintage tremolos = enjoy being out of tune) >ergonomic shape, 24 frets, light >nice wood finish instead of fender cheap poly colours
> b-but muh heritage, muh vintage Enjoy having a harder to play instrument just for muh heritage. But at least it’s not a les Paul, those things are a joke in 2019. Fuck you boomers.
