there are people who think multi-piece necks are new and innovative technology
>what? i thought you had to make them out of one piece! for the toan! you're disrupting the chakra flow of the guitar! how does this still sound good!?
What string brand do you guys use. I bounced around from Ernie ball, GHS, elixer, fender, and D'addario when I was new to try out all of the big ones and liked D'addario the best so I've been using those the past few years.
lol if you guys had just bought a Gibson™ Les Paul to begin with then you wouldn't be having all these problems

Out of those, GHS was by far the worse I used. Literally turned black in 2-3 days of light use. Also had shitty tuning stability, maybe it was a bad pack but I never bought them again. Ernie Ball is OK but not great, from my experience they're slightly worse than D'Addario but better than GHS. D'Addario has been my best bet, both the cheaper ones and the NYXL stuff. Elixirs are also great and do tend to hold up really well but I don't know if its worth buying 1 pack of those vs 3 packs of D'Addarios for the same or less money.
Yeah I had pretty much the same experience, GHS was cheap dogshit and only lasted me a week before going dull, ernie ball was ok but d'addario was better, and elixir is good but not worth like $12 a pack
Yeah thats basically the same conclusion I've drawn. I also found that Elixir's had less string noise when you slide around but with practice I've worked around that on other strings now. D'Addario I think is a solid value and you can buy a 10 pack for like $40 which is pretty good.
>he can't afford a Gibson, the only adequate guitar, because he's too busy dilating and lactating to get a job
I've been using Dean Markley's forever. Never had a reason to switch. I'm not a gigging musician, never will be, so I don't need to buy cases of them, so price really isn't an issue either.
I always find it funny, that you'll read an interview with a guitarist, and they go on about how a certain string brand is their favorite, and they'll never change - and then a video tour of their gear shows up (whatever that channel is) and the dude has to ask his tech what brand they're using.
Then you see the advertisement for the string company with that dude's face on it.
Elixir. I sweat so much and have a high acidity level in my sweat. I'll kill a set of almost anything uncoated within 3 days of touching them. Daddarios coating didn't seem to matter, killed their EXP series strings in a week.
39 bucks for the NPS (SoS is way too bright) sets, but I get 3/4 months easily, I'm getting about 2/3 tops in summer weather.
lole will they ever learn senpaitachi
I feel like the middle position on a telecaster is underrated. You get that jangly quality but it still retains a level of warmth/smoothness, it just sounds so nice.
I set a metronome to 60bpm and I can't get my chord changes any faster than missing a second between them AAAA
practice moar scrub
>middle positions on any guitar
>middle pickups on any guitar
>any pickup settings other than neck only or bridge only
The only way to get your chord changes faster is to keep practicing and make sure you're actually doing the chord changes clean instead of fast but sloppy.
I forgot why I've been putting off watching this forever but guitar kino is on the menu tonight boys
I've tried many different kinds but I always come back to Ernie Ball Super Slinkies. I want to try out some D'Addario NYXL 09-42s next.
>right now jcope is busy pushing a wheelbarrow full of broken bricks up a hill while i shitpost inside an air conditioned pet food shop
kek like that rolling stones song beast of burden
You don't have the muscle memory yet. It will come. Even the most drugged out, low talent musician gets to that level, eventually. Be patient. Stop stressing on it, and just enjoy the process. Find the songs you like playing, and play them a lot. Eventually your fingers will go where you want them to.
Ernie Ball Flatwounds for bass, D'addario for guitar (both classical and electric). I'd say that string choice is probably the most important non-electrical component in terms of choosing what tone you want.
Has there ever been a more obvious chibson?
You lose every day, Sammy.
legit just play. Im at the same point and see progress in everything i do just by doing it. I dont worry. Worry about taxes. Guitar is fun.
Here's what I've used, along with my opinions.
Ernie Ball: used these when I started out since they were advertised everywhere and tons of guitarists endorsed them. After having played for several years, I noticed that they seemed to collect dirt and sound dull pretty quickly even with routine wipe downs, so I ditched them.
Elixers: these felt weird and oily. Used them once for a few months, then nah.
Dean Markley Blue Steels: used these consistently for a long time, they sounded good in the studio and had a much longer shelf life than the Ernie Balls but sounded noticeably duller after a month or so.
Rotosound Yellows: really good, balanced strings for the price. They sounded nice and bright for much longer than the Blue Steels. Unfortunately, the thick E string had a habit of unwinding over the bridge when palm muting (which was insane to me, because I have a VERY light touch) and after it happened a third time (right in the middle of a gig, too) I just couldn't go back to them.
D'Addario NYXLs: I never had any issues with cheaper D'Addario strings beyond the fact that they weren't anything special, and most shops will use them as a default string when doing setups because of how cheap they are. I love the NYXLs, though, and I've been using them for about 2 years on both of my guitars. They retain their sound far longer than any other string I've ever used, (the set on my Strat is at least a year and a half old and is only now beginning to show signs of wear and I play for 1-3 hours per day) so they're definitely worth the higher price in my book.
Is a Les Paul better looking with or without the scratchplate?
>tism poster is back
yay
I have nothing better to do than post extensive reviews of gear I've used atm. I'm curious as to what else you think I've posted? I wasn't aware that I was "tism poster".
again with the 2014 limited edition 335 bourbon burst dream guitar
it shall be mine...one day...if I can find one by the time I can afford it
>I have nothing better to do
we know
I welcome it and would ask for more actually. I haven't tried anything other than the same old strings.
Same old kit.
Tell me more.
That goes for everybody.

The fact you had to make this post lets me know i win.
You on ritalin?
>tune-o-matic bridge
Lol
Woah there, isn't this post missing a few paragraphs?
Appreciate it. I don't really have much more to say on the subject of strings, though, just that a microfiber cloth for wiping down the neck after playing is a solid investment.
Adderall, actually.
I accidentally purchased a 100$ chinese guitar ( ROCKET ST-01rd ).
What should i do now ? (other than throw this guitar out of the window and get a 1000$ one)
no doubt
I might get into the habit of doing the same. My friend used my last guitar and scolded me for how grimy it was.
I eat and play. I'm a savage. lol.
throw some EMG's on that bitch, downtune and start playing djent
Ugh, yeah, no, I'm a complete germophobe and I wash my hands constantly, especially before I pick up a guitar.
Quack Fact!
Time to scrub another dog's butt Petco soapboi. Remember to wear your wagie hat.
crank the action way high, open tuning, make a designated slide guitar for shits
>religiously checks his phone during water breaks
kek the other mexican day laborers think you act like a woman don't they
Increase the action, put humbuckers in it and buy a slide
Whats the difference?
Get a david gilmour emg pickguard
I also got into a habit of leaving my guitar in my bed with me
Learn to work on guitars with it. If you fuck up trying to file/flatten out the frets, you're out $100. Learn to solder by replacing the electronics. learn to finish a guitar by stripping off the cheap paint, and put a new one on it.
Yeah the other spics hate me. Im sitting in my truck ;)
Exactly what I'm doing
Lmao right now you know all he wants to do is post a pic of one of his shitplanks but the upload time takes too long and bossman would crawl all over his ass for playing on his phone instead of pushing his wheelbarrow
Why are you obsessed with me if i may ask?

Who's the best guitarist of all time and why is it Eric Clapton?
>Jimi Hendrix was once asked how it felt to be the greatest guitarist ever. Hendrix quickly responded: “I don’t know. You’d have to ask Eric Clapton.”
he has no soul tech, job, good amps, or persona
Ritalin's effects aren't as pronounced, and they don't last as long. I take Adderall XR (extended-release) which is taken once per day and can last up to 10 hours (my dose is fairly small); standard Adderall doses last for around 4 hours.
The medication has noticeably helped with my guitar playing, as I find things like recording and transcribing much easier to focus on and less frustrating over long periods. My ADD was untreated until recently so it has been quite a gear shift.
Why does one guy always try to force the gibson = tranny meme?
I know three trannies who play guitar and their main guitars are an ibanez, an esp, and a schecter because all three were into the screamo fad unsurprising
>Dumb fuck let his kid fall out a window
>'ablooabloo I'll c u in hevan'

>Crossroads is still shit
Fuck Eric Clapton. Always crying about something, whether it's some shitcunt named Layla or his dead son. I wish the cocaine killed him.
Middle position on the strat is underrated, neck position and inbetweens are massively overrated
Sure thing sambo
Yep middle is what I usually use for clean tones
I can buy some for 10 a pop but idk if theyre worth it
In /gg/ Gibson posting goes hand in hand with trolling poorfags, the logical conclusion is he's triggered because he can't afford one.

So you've been using the default factory strings for years or you just stared playing recently?
Solid ideas, thanks guys
>Unironically posting a guitar with bookmatching THIS bad

He'll find a way to pull out his phone in about 10 to 15 minutes I bet. Now if he can squeeze out a reply before his supervisor catches him who knows?
manuel labor sounds like such a drag senpai
Yeah, he should have grown up to be a professional guitar player like me, I have plenty of downtime to shitpost in /gg/ between shows!
The custom 550 is flawless. The other dean was chinese one was very flawed in terms of qc. I use the custom 550 as much as my fender

Thanks dude, appreciate it. Might consider it next im at a guitar shop
Make sure its korean made
might wanna take a wheelbarrow with you when you go just in case
Protip it's the same wood and CNC program as schecters so you can avoid having "dean" on the headstock
Now that's what I call a guitar, and the nicest one on the thread. Is that a Herb Ellis or just a single pickup 175?
Only a Gibson is good enough for rock stars became only a Gibson is good enough for anime girls, became the Gibson with pictures of anime girl, became he wants to be an anime girl, became he's a tranny.
The rest of it is just general shitposting phrases that bled in from other boards.
It's 1959 Gibson ES-175. It took me a few years but I finally convinced my friends dad to sell it to me.
lol could you be seething any harder right now
I have never been less interested in a guitar in my life.
What do you do professionally, worship songs at a church?

lmao get a paper bag to breathe in before you pass out
Why are you so wound up by shitposting?
My name is Stephen Howe. You might have heard of me before, I'm a pretty well known guitarist.
Nah you're a 30-some accountant that bought a guitar like his because you thought it would give you magical guitar powers.
I'm sorry? I'm not sure I understand your post? I've been in a band called Yes for most of my entire adult life.

What do you think about this?
might as well be a walmart guitar
Worse than a Dean
Are there any short-scale five string electric bass guitars? Going from an Ibanez Mikro to my full-size F-155DX is nuts.

Yes, and I'm Sayo Hikawa. You might be surprised but I'm actually a two dimensional Japanese teenager in a mediocre, I mean, amazing J-Rock band called Roselia.

>$100 guitar with a no name floyd rose
Stay far far away from that piece of shit
What would you reccomend then?
ooh, ooh, can i get your sister's autograph?
If you're asking questions about gear this cheap I'd assume you're new and based on that shit guitar posted earlier you want to play metal. What's your budget?
I have about 500 euro-dollars and I don't really need an amp since I got one handed down.
a cheap floyd rose bridge will rapidly wear down and stop holding in tune. a metal clamp at the nut holds the strings in place and the bridge itself rides on two knife edges held against two posts with string and spring tension. if it's made of cheap pot metal, the clamp will get grooves in it (no more string locking) and the knife edges will flatten out so it'll stop staying in tune. the real ones, which cost upwards of $200 for the most basic models and nearly $500 for more fancy ones with shit like half pound titanium sustain blocks that out-sustain most les pauls, are made of harder alloys with treated knife edges and posts that won't wear down ever. there are FR originals from the 80s that still stay in tune and do that cool flutter effect. the only bad thing that happens to them is some of the black mild steel screws will rust from sweat or ocean air.
the speed at which this deterioration happens to cheap shit FRs is what makes people hate them. eventually the damn thing can not be tuned because it's pretty much broken.
the guitar body itself is probably good though. there's a slight chance the neck might warp or the bridge might be in the wrong spot at that price point but manufacturing has advanced to the point that cheap guitars are made better than most american made strats and les pauls that were played in the 50s. massive batches of wood are dried in industrial ovens and carved by CNC machines. there are very few ways for them to get fucked up outside of mistakes during painting (really common on set neck/neck thru guitars, since it's painted as a unit).
Squier bullet strat (with the whammy bar)
tism poster = barrel of laughs
buy a made in korea epiphone les paul with your 500 euros.
memes aside that's one of the nicest flame maple tops i've ever seen.
You can buy a lot better than that, the cheapest I'd go for a guitar is $300 that's around where things get decent enough to last you a few years and aren't a struggle to play. Also don't get one of those extreme body shapes when you're brand new. It will be super awkward to play because you have to put them on your legs at off angles or play standing up the entire time. You want something with a simple body that you can sit down with for hours with no problem
it's a veneer
As in reissue or vintage? Nice guitar either way
they're all veneers. "caps" are just thicker veneers for boomers that are either
1: so insane they think a thicker veneer makes a guitar sound different
2: sexually aroused by guitars costing more due to inefficient, wasteful use of rare and expensive raw materials
3: all of the above
You need to get out more.
>caps" are just thicker veneers
lol definition of words is hard i know
Yeah you know they actually are
A veneer that is so thick that the wood is no longer flexible is a cap. If you take shavings off a cap you have a bunch of veneers.
Also tonewood isn't real
Vintage, daddy-o ;^)
>implying you niggers can tell the difference between a full flame maple cap and a regular maple cap with a cleverly blended 2-3mm veneer (just thick enough to have the 3d effect)
>veneer
>cap
lmao you realize those are two different words right
Nah you can tell in person. Real carved caps on PRS and Gibson are way more 3D and have actual depth, veneers are soulless cheap imitations
I own both. You can tell by looking at the body contours.
Oh my gawd, someone used a whole piece of wood instead of really thin slices to flame up his meme machine.
you can contour with a veneer
No, the grain looks slightly different where the angle of the contour is the greatest. A veneer is paper thin so it looks flat.
Has anyone here learned piano after learning guitar? How hard did you find the transition and how quickly before you could play well enough to accompany singing?
I want to write a blues based album of piano songs.
I have a chink kit lp that is definitely veneer glued to a contour. How would that look any more flat?
Is this like tube cap vs solid state veneer or something?
>How hard did you find the transition
You've come to the right place.
It's the way the wood grain works. The flame will be "disrupted" at steep cuts with only lower layers showing through, and a completely vertical cut will just make it look speckled (only visible in trem cavities).
A veneer won't have that effect and a regular maple cap won't have the clearly speckled grain in the trem cavity.
Ibanez vs Jackson vs Dean vs ESP? Which is the best metal guitar?
What does it matter if you can't play?
Early 2000s ESP. Everything else is trash.
Whatever you think looks cool, what a stupid question
this. you could always learn to push a mean wheelbarrow instead
Just remove your pickups to tell
Start looking for the specs you want before comparing brands.
I'm asking for when I can play.
ESP or Jackson IMO. All though I would look for a MIJ or MIA of each model.
Tried to change the action on my Telecaster and now I get a dull sound from my lower strings, should I just take it to a shop?
Literally anything can play metal. It's such a dumb question to ask because each brand had a ton of guitars under it and it's subjective to begin with plus on top of that theres a million types of subgenres for metal that sound different. Start with the basics and when you finally down that go to a store and test out brands to see what you like.
Should i start with acoustic or electric guitar and why?
Let's just talk about playing then
electrics seem like pussy instruments after learning on accoustic
What's wrong with Ibanez and Dean?
ibanez is thin necks and good values. Very thin necks. They're $2000 at the most for a Japanese made guitar that shits on nearly everything else. However be wary of their cheaper stuff, it's not consistent in quality. On average, these are very light guitars with the thinnest possible necks and bodies.
Jackson makes three levels of guitars. $300 beginner shit from indonesia, $800 overpriced beginner shit from Japan that's not even that much better, and $3000++ USA made guitars. The USA guitars are really good but way overpriced as fender will give you the same quality with two less frets for less than half the price, sans EMGz. However, these guys basically invented the superstrat and Ibanez and ESP are ripping them off. #playauthentic. Comfier necks than ibanez on average.
ESP used to make mass-produced guitars under their own brand called ESP standards and sell them overseas. Japs started re-importing these because they were way cheaper than domestic ESPs which were Japanese custom shop - in Japan, their cheaper mass produced guitars were called Edwards domestically. As a reaction, they stopped calling those guitars ESPs. Now they're called E-II. When people praise ESP, they're usually talking about one of these old ESP standards that you can't buy anymore. Cosmetic quality has declined with LTD elites and E-IIs because yes, they don't say ESP on the front, so there's less pride involved. Be wary of these. ESP is actually a Japan-focused custom shop, these mass produced guitars are jackson knockoffs they use as a side gig.
>mfw tism poster
Fernandes rip-off
I forgot dean
It's shit. Just plain shit. Don't buy a fucking dean. I'd rather buy one of the E-IIs than a fucking dean. At least they play as well as their pricetags would imply they would. Most guitar companies are founded by skilled men with a vision. Dean was created from industrial espionage and they've never done anything except make retarded looking Gibsons.
What songs do you want to play?
Never owned one?
acoustics seem like pussy instruments after learning on an electric
Never owed a wheelbarrow either.
I owned one and returned it promptly. And it was the best one they had in the store. It wasn't even a floor model, I had them get it from the back.
It’s the other way about and you know it, you don’t hear anyone complaining about their poor fingers with electric guitars.
I bet you can't even bend 13s
sorry boo
Not one of you plays piano?
i play accordion
a real man's instrument
lmaoing @ losers who rob themselves of the superior tone of heavy guitars, my accordion weighs as much as three guitars
Well, that's one of your problems
Low end?
No my parents never forced me as a kid to play piano, I wish they did desu
I'm learning now
if dean is so shit, why does the greatest metal guitarist of all time (dave mustaine) play them?
How long have you been learning and how is it going?
No, a USA Z.
I love accordion, post a Vocaroo
he got kicked out of metallica so he couldn't afford anything better prolly
just kidding, i can't play accordion
or guitar
i notice mexican day laborers play a lot of music with accordion in it
Because Jackson didn't feel like paying him more sponsorship money and Dean was desperate to get someone after Dime died
A few weeks. It's going ok but I need to get serious about it.
I call bull.
Learning it now singing over chords isn't hard, I guess it depends on how fancy you want to be.
I’m from Edinburgh, there’s this ginger guy with mutton chops, lederhosen and a deerstalker cap who plays accordion at open mics, guy is the biggest fucking eccentric but he plays beautifully. Doesn’t even glimpse or clap at any of the performers, just reads a book waiting for his turn.

Nah they just sound bad dude. The only good pickups Ibanez offers is in the Steve Vai JEM and thats basically the only Ibanez really worth its price
For playing active 8 string guitars properly.

You seem to know a lot about that if you think stock Ibanez pickups sound 'good' lmao
It's not bad, not sure how i'd arrange it on piano that bassline is pretty prominent so I guess that would be a little tricky but do able with practice.
zoomer guitarists are the most based guitarists
I haven’t seen him for ages, he is fucking great though, struggled to keep my laugh in first time I saw him and he didn’t even thank the audience after the hippie chick who was in before him made a big insincere song and dance about her gratitude to the sound guy and everyone for coming along.

>DJDJDJDJDJDOOOOONT DJ DJ DJ DJOOONT DJOOOONT

You're fighting an uphill battle. No one in the guitar industry says stock Ibanez pickups sound good. That is why everyone replaces them.
>muh chink waifu
>muh yellow fever
Sit down kid, this is a real guitarist.
I'm under the impression that accordion is give or take twice as hard as any other instrument. The guy has probably put in his time and dgaf anymore.
All the cool Dads play Music Man™!
the shred pirate roberts
If your guitar didn't come stock with DiMarzios, EMGs, or Duncans you fucked up. Gibson is the only company with decent OEM pickups, but they can't get the gutiar part right.
I might just fuck about on the piano and try and come up with an arrangement through trial and error, I have a digital piano that has been gathering dust for ages. I already had this little solo in mind before my friend set it to music.
>non-european person bad
that's not very swedish of you
and swedes are the most metal people
so that's not very metal of you
>appeal to authority
lol you lost the argument
I haven't played guitar seriously in 8 years. What' gear "in" now? Does everyone slap the 81/85 set on and call it a day? Did Seymour Duncan Blackouts ever catch on? How's Line 6 doing? I have no interest in getting back in to playing, just want to know how things have changed if at all.
The Finnish and Japanese are the most metal people. A theoretical finno-nippon hybrid would be the most metal person alive.
Enjoy your thin tone homie
What are you talking about
The 81/85 are the most hated pickups on earth
Everyone likes EMGs other stuff, which has gotten good (fat 50s) and dimarzios > duncans. blackouts never made it for sounding too muddy.
Ibanez is popular with the youngsters.
Line 6 is still shit
enjoy your logical fallacies mr. day laborer
>rent free
Na, that's bandwagoning he used.
Pretty much the same as it was 8 years ago, barely anything's changed in that short amount of time. The biggest things to note is gibson filled for bankrupsy but are out of it (soon back), ESP went down the shitter, Blackstar got more popular. That's the only big changes I can think of off the top of my head.
i won
>ESP went down the shitter
/gg/ meme
all they did was change the name of the LTD elites to E-II
the QC meme is i assume, based off some forum posts and one guy here who got a massively discounted M-II with a dark spot on the neck
is he better than buckethead?
>ESP went down the shitter
What happened?
That looked like fucking nothing. My les paul has the same thing going on.
Its fake news, they didn't
and
are not the same person as
I’m not sure if he’s just autistic or if it’s a stage act, you should always do a quick thanks to the audience at the end of your set though.
I absolutely hate stage patter though, it took a while for me to get confident about silence between songs but once you get used to it feels good. It’s only awkward if you use alternate tunings a lot, I avoid them except simple ones like drop D so I don’t have to have massive waits between my songs.
Blackstar will forever be beginner shit.
It's a meme solidstate world now. If you're not playing tappy economy picked trap djent then keep on boomin.

I really do enjoy talking about musicianship and guitar, and at one point I was writing lesson columns for Ultimate-Guitar because I like teaching.
I try to thank my audiences by hurling my feces at them mid song.
I was trying it out and it's a great exercise in hand independence, it's going to be next level to sing over it.
>and at one point I was writing lesson columns for Ultimate-Guitar because I like teaching.
What's your name?
Retard. Just call him R~ for short
how do you guys become gearheads
I'm obsessed with trying to get better at playing but I never considered that I was doing myself a disservice by not being a gearhead at the same time
You don't really have to become s gearhead if it's not your lane, people who are just naturally inclined to liking handiwork and building their own shit usually become one. Being knowledgeable and informed on your own gear and knowing basics about other pieces of equipment is fine enough.
>subtle but lazer like precision burn
Thanks man, I pretty much never do lead melody on guitar but on piano I can just hear them in my mind much easier, who knows, might be a better instrument for me. Going to book a lesson.
You guys know any good guitars with active pickups for metal? I already have a guitar with singlecoils and one with humbuckers so I'd thought I should branch out.
No.
Yes.

Awww hell naw nigga. Dave Mustaine and Buckethead are objectively the greatest metal guitarists of all time.
wrong
Nope.
based gibson dabbing on fake outrage faggots
>What' gear "in" now?
Everyone plays 8-string guitars now.
No one is any good at making full use of the extended range with the exception of 2 or 3 people, but that's where we are.
There's also this new obsession with crazy expensive modeling tech that several guitarists have deluded themselves into thinking sounds "like, REALLY pretty much exactly like tube amps".
Line 6 is still in business and churning out crap no one wants.
Fishman Fluence pickups replaced the 81/85 set among the extreme metal crowd.
What’s the story behind this pic?
some faggot was crying at a gibson shareholder meeting about
>gibson should donate some blem guitars to some needy kids
>gibson ceo: fuck those poor stupid ass shits, i'd rather break a blem guitar into a million pieces instead of giving society's dregs a reason to live
Lying piece of shit
Suhr oem is best
I remember this shit. He pulled that red SG out of some kids hand at the meeting and smashed it into the stage behind him. He accidentally cut her hand when he did it and she had to go get stitches.
I like your bullshit story but I googled it and the truth is even dumber, smashed it when promoting the new firebird. How’s that for showing faith in the quality of your products?
piece of shit lying in a wheelbarrow?
>get a 2nd guitar
>like it so much I haven't touched my first guitar in a week
Should I just keep it around for when I get to recording stuff? It has a bassier tone so I guess it'll do better for rhythm stuff.
Test
Fail.
That was me
It’s probably a mineral streak in the wood but i got another $100 off
>tfw $975 ESP
that's not an esp that's an e II
It says “designed and built by ESP” on the back, Nipponese anti-brand dilution measures be damned.
>reee our logo has to cost extra
>It says “designed and built by ESP” on the back
Squiers say the same shit I guess its a fender now
Shit i better return it and buy a les paul
No it actually worked. I wasn’t sure if I was banned or not.
you'd probably just buy one of these
lol if you guys had just bought a Gibson™ Les Paul to begin with then you wouldn't be having all these problems
