Best guitar software? I've been using Guitar Rig for awhile now but I want to try something else.

I'd heard the rumors, but is it true there are people who play Dorian every time they encounter a m7 chord, with no regard for functional harmony?

I like BiasFX. It has some pretty good tonez.

guys should i buy mint condition fender delux reverb or Mesa boogie express 5:25 (not plus) for same price? I want clean sound which can take lots of pedal effectively and versatile combo. please help this poor fellow.

>85% of the thread is gear posting

Gearposters are literally the equivalent of cumbrains.

And you're the equivalent of a kakabrain sambo

Sambo is a retarded gearposter too all he does is talk about his shit gear and how everything costs 5x in brazil.

And you're sambo

I live in the first world and don't push a wheel barrel in the jungle heat for $1 an hour begging for strings, sorry to burst your bubble I'm not that gorilla.

A local musician whose show I went to recently showed me his pedal board. He had two Boss EQ pedals. I asked him why and he said ones before the dirt and ones after and he usually uses both simultaneously. He didn't clarify further.

Is this just a meme or there's something to it? He sounded great.

I know it is you sambo, fuck off

Daily reminder that Fender is truly the every man’s/woman’s guitar that has everything you need. Hobbyist, armature or professional musician there is a level of quality and value for everyone.

Jcum is rewriting history. He's trying to make it look like his arch enemy samuel is the one pushing a wheelbarrow around a construction site all day instead of toiling in the local favela pet food shop.

It sounds pointless but if it works for him I guess, I can think of a lot of things I'd rather buy than a second EQ pedal

He cute

Is there ever a reason to spend >$1500 on a guitar?

I notice around the $1200 mark you start seeing stainless steel frets and other quality of life improvements. Most guitars don't even have a soft case sub-$800 in my experience lately.

It’s probably like buying a luxury car, yea you have full leather interior and 400hp but it still takes you from A to B like a prius

Do you count while playing? Or do you just feel it

It makes sense if you're a beginner when you don't know if you'll actually stick with the instrument plus I'm sure most people have done something retarded with their first guitar trying to experiment on it or just not taking care of it properly.

But if you're seasoned and have been playing for years then yeah $1200~ is about the spot where you get really good stuff and if you're the guy who's been playing for years and years but keeps buying cheap $400 or $500 guitars then unironically get a job.

Liking a different guitar is like finding a new pornstar to jerk off to, you bust for a week or two then realize ol’ trusty is what does it for you. I’m sure he’s not bringing up his Strat you don’t feel insecure about playing one of the least interesting guitars out there

/gg/ in a nutshell

It looks like an absolute piece of dogshit but for $100~ you can't expect much. Before you upgrade your gear get a job though so you won't be the 10000th person in this thread asking about some $30 pedals for your 6" starter amp or asking about a boss katana.

The artcore wasn't mine. And it would be 17 with it. There's also several that hasn't been added to that pic.

kek imagine if you had some impulse control, you might have one decent guitar by now

:3

Why would I settle for decent? I've got great guitars right now.

in 1~3 months you will regret this and you will seek out a better guitar.
assuming you are trying to learn guitar

>there ever a reason to spend >$1500 on a guitar?
Only if you're a working musician or a collector, of if you're having a luthier craft you a one of a kind guitar.

Over $2k, you're getting into custom finishes and exotic materials that will have fuck all to do with how you play, or overinflated prices from companies desperate for cash (coughCustomShopGibsonscough)

A career guitar - one that you can expect to last 20 years, with regular maintenance and care, shouldn't run you more than $2k, for the high end, new stuff, unless you want pristine virgin wood only handled by big breasted amazon rain forest maidens, and day glo dyes and poly finishes.

A hobby guitar? $1500 is more than you'll ever need.

>Doesn't know about the 52nd state

If you like nice things. You can't get a new Rickenbacker for less than $1500 for example.

It depends, more expensive isn't really "better", you can get good guitars at sensible price points these days. It used to be a bit different but rejoice, you live in a golden age.

I have several expensive guitars, probably play my Mexican Tele the most even though its pretty undesirable if you're just looking at pictures in catalogue or something (1995, bridge strung) but I don't regret anything. Guitars aren't really that expensive in the grand scheme of things, they are just really expensive at the time you could get the most use out of them which is one of life's ironies.

Mate, most people in /gg/ don't even know what Dorian is.

It means he knows what he's doing.

Pre-distortion EQ controls which frequencies are distorted. Clipping around 1KHz sounds particularly good.
Post-distortion EQ modifies your EQ as you would expect.

yeah. but i need a lot of stuff to begin doing it

Go buy it then, you can get everything you need at home depot for like $30. It'll be a more useful hobby to pickup than gearposting since you don't really play guitar anyway.

>don't really play guitar
it was rude to assume that

Nah, it's jcope now.

What do you mean about functional harmony? I generally think in terms of minor chords I can play the sixth and ninth over, i.e. in C I wouldn't normally play F# over either Am or Em

I would go for the Deluxe as I don't like Mesa, but the Mesa may be more what you're looking for.

Not a meme, very useful pedals and have different effects post and pre gain.

Start by counting, and eventually you won't have to feel it.

Well, you think that, but no prize for you.

>What do you mean about functional harmony?
I mean there are supposedly people who play A Dorian over a vi chord in the key of C Major? Functionally, A Aeolian should be played instead, because the vi chord has a b6 or b13. I understand there are Jazz guys who play Dorian over every minor chord they encounter.

Marshall JCM800 + Les Paul + Rick Rubin

Incorrect I'm afraid. The b6 is an avoid note, and the vi chord doesn't have it (in the key of C, Am does not have an F). You rarely hear it played because it is so tricky to make sound good. Maybe if you did a surround note thing, like F-D-D#-E over Am.

my singing is actually improving this is awesome

Spalted maple top or flamed maple top go

Attached: mediocre guitar player.jpg (730x960, 153K)

Flame, spalted looks like shit. It's also a wood disease/defect, just one that they figured out they could relabel and market to you

The reason most jazz musicians avoid the b6 over a m7 chord is because it sounds cheesy as fuck. It's not an avoid note in the same way the 4 is, it's just seen as lazy kind of like resolving lines to the tonic.

Who is the better player between jcope and sambo?

>actually believing in "avoid notes"

man white people really killed jazz.

I am a jazz musician, and the reason I avoid the b6 is because it almost always sounds awful. I definitely wouldn't call it cheesy. Believe it or not the 4 is actually easier to use, if you listen to the old Miles Davis recordings you can hear him do it all the time. b6 is mentioned below.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avoid_note

Avoid notes are a concept when you're beginning or at the intermediate stage, after that you have enough knowledge of the music that you know where and when you can break the rules. And in fairness, if you listen to black jazz musicians, they adhere to the same rules. I mean, they invented them

You're still trying...to accomplish something?

Was thinking of doing a stain in a similar color to this, kinda think the darker bits of the spalted might look nice with the blue

>in the key of C, Am does not have an F
It does if you extend the harmony out.

Is the BIASFX and ToneCloud user around? I have an alert 4 u

Is the F chord really that big of a struggle to a lot of people, I can switch to it pretty slow now but I've been playing for like 3 weeks. I can probably get it faster more consistently pretty soon.

Is the DM2-W any good. I have a MIJ DM2 on my long term list but if the waza-craft version does the job i might just get that instead

Jcope has won two of three guitar duels, but that's not a good guide because someone usually loses due to not submitting their "improvisation" within the 30 minute time limit.

Yeah I used amplitube first and Bias is way better. Imho the only good amp on Amplitube was the ENGL head which iirc had a shit ton of bass.

Is that me or somebody else?

I basically wanna be John dwyer

That could be cool yeah. I think it generally looks bad with a natural top, like most people do, but with that it might look cool. That's a great looking finish

If there's an A in the bass and an F in the chord, generally it's something like an F/A or Am(b6) which is basically the same thing. If it's a standard Am chord, F will sound awful over it. Did you read the Wiki?

There is one special case, if there's an Em chord (key of C still) often C over this will sound less offensive than F over Am. This is because chord iii is a replacement for chord I

Yeah Justin on the site said that's the more common used version for most songs but I've been practicing both just to get ready for barre chords on general

the C shape bar chord is easy like an F bar chord to me now but the B chord on the A string is still a chore

Anything over that should be hand built and full custom if it isnt from a brand that retains its value. Pic related is my wheelbarrow.

Is this good tone? I've spent so long chasing a good guitar sound that I don't even know whether its a good sound when I hear it now.

Like, Is it just too overdriven and reverby, and is that just covering up bad playing, or is this the sound that people actually strive for?

>watch tone video on youtube
>they all sound great effortlessly
>even with guitar rig and my nice equipment I sound like shit
I hope this is just a beginner thing

post equipment

Most tone videos people use direct input to usb with their amp or professional mics so it sounds better than normal. That's why a lot of them are pretty pointless to watch unless if you use direct input also

Yamaha Revstar
UR 22 mkII

Did you record that in a cave?

There's more to it than that, direct in with any amp I've ever had sounds shit

Way way too much reverb

accidentally sliced open the bottom of my tongue, lads

Have you gotten your guitar set up professionally or did it yourself like checking the intonation, making sure fretbuzz isn't bad enough to be heard through the amp, etc. Might be that if people using the same gear and the same EQ sounds way better.

You have to take off the cock piercing before you deepthroat a tranny sambo.

Yes, I have a great luthier and do a pretty good setup myself as long as the frets are alright. Never sounds good but I know it can, if you are experienced enough.

That guy wasn't me. I bought it new from a local shop with a good reputation, and it sounds good at times, but I haven't been able to get any really nice tones so far. I thought it might be my lack of skill, but even the guitar rig presets sound kind of lame, so maybe it's my setup. I'm just using guitar to interface to PC though, I don't see what might be wrong.

This. It was abundantly clear that Samuel, who is not that good of a guitar player, is a much better guitarist than Jcum when they dueled, despite the defaulting. The thing that made it most clear was when Sam, a bluesfag, outplayed Jcum on a metal song.

DM-2w is a fantastic delay. definitley worth a try.

For advice on vibrato is practice keeping the bends equal. Then as you grow as a player you can express them more but its good to have them perfect at the subconcious level.

unless its literally cheap china shit it's just a power amp, meaning you're supposed to use a preamp with it

A cheap amp that doesnt have an eq sounds like a $50 piece of shit you get in starter packs. Don't bother wasting your money to buy a pedal more expensive than your amp.

Damn right I do. I won't even tell you how you outed yourself as king of the plebs.
No, practice with metronome at 2 and 4.
Probably not. But good job, man.

It's got more in common with the Jupiter Thunderbird than it has with the Explorer.
I have an original Explorer by the way.

>It's got more in common with the Jupiter Thunderbird
no it doesn't you blind doof

Yeah, just check out fat pointy treble and bass horn that symbolizes the Explorer on that St. Vincent.
Oh wait, nevermind.

No, fag. Wash your hands and the dick after you jack someone off.

SAM IS A GOOD GUITARIST

Sam doesn't ask for bend or vibrato advice.

I finally found the way to sing high notes healthy guys. Beware me, I'll be singing man in the box and maggie may in not much long. I'll become the lead singer and lead vocalist of my own band and btfo every bandmate that shit on me in the past.

has anybody here
>DIPPED THEIR GUITARS IN OIL
today?

I wash my guitars' fretboard on the washing tank and I don't give a shit

If you're scared of that you're a faggot

...what... ...in... ...the...

Ty dude

My problem atm is that I can bend up to pitch nicely, but as soon as I try and apply vibrato to that bend, it starts to go flat. It feels like my fingers are too weak.

I've gotten away from it for so long because I use the palm of my hand against the bridge to create the same sound, but I guess that feels like cheating now.

Has anyone here made up a decent meme today? These forced ones are stale and frankly, embarrassing.

>It feels like my fingers are too weak
Then develop your finger strength, pussy.

You answered it yourself. What do you expect from us, to practice for you?

>hand on the bridge
It's a strat isn't it? Lol you're using the tremolo. Don't you have the wang bar for it? Anyway yes it's cheating and you should work on your bending and vibrato for now.

Wang bars are fucking gay, I took that shit off as soon as I got it.

Oh yeah the obvious answer is practice lol. I'm just making sure my actual knowledge of the technique is correct. I don't want to think there's a certain way to do it and practice that, when in reality the best way to do it is different on a mechanical level.

Alright, I've decided I will buy the Musicman Valentine. It sounds great. I dig the single - humbucker config.

Fuck off, Sammy.

Whatever lets you sleep at night.

Please be nice about my babies.

Here's a lesson on bending and vibrato by one of the masters of guitar bending. You want to do the major movement with your arm and wrist. The fingers also need to be strong to hold the string's pull.

Haha right on spot. I did a good job at impersonating him.

Listen to Alive! and we can talk

Hmm you have a lot of learning to do.

im 3 months into learning guitar , can you guys reccommend me some ways to get better? i know like 20 chords and a handful of scales, and i practice alternate picking those scales with a metronome at 120 bpm currently, also use guitar tuna to practice the chords. i cant really play along to any songs i like in a way that sound pleasent

>listening to Ace Frehley

OOooo new Detroit and China AUTHENTIC Gibsons.

breakout is a nice song imo

Yeah you're so superior that you can't even bother listening to stuff that may prove you wrong

Practice strumming and focus on playing with the metronome at a slower pace but on beat. Pretty much just put more effort into getting clear and smooth chord changes that are on beat rather than doing scales the fastest you can.

A lot of beginners overlook how important having a good strumming hand is.

He's 70 yo and not warmed up and guess what, still can bend and vibrato at varying speeds better than yourself can

does anybody have the copypasta about Jerry Garcia's asshole being covered in assy shartbutter? The kaka one.

Honestly its interesting watching this because vibrato on my index finger is better than with my ring/middle. (although potentially excessive). I'm struggling with vibrato on bends because multiple fingers on the string.

Ty for the video btw

Good to see Sambo wearing clothes for a change.

I've been playing my LP for years but recently acquired a G&L Invader and been playing that lately when I'm in the mood for some 80s metal whammy bar wankery.

You gotta practice that too
See Ace bends with one or two fingers. That requires a bunch more strength but it also strengthens then quicker. I think it helps getting more agility in the bends in some situations but that may be a false belief of mine. Anyway if you have an acoustic guitar I suggest you doing some of the practice on it because of the thicker strings, like a workout.

I feel like somehow these threads have deteriorated even further since the last time I was here.

It only gets bad when the 3rd worlders start to have chimpouts because it just becomes discord memes but other than that it's still the same,

>t. the proverbial boiling frog

Sonic is for white trash.

When there's only 4 people on the whole board that actually owns gear, you see the same pics over and over again.

i think floyd roses may be a meme

Tell the truth, it really bothers you that I won't post my gear doesn't it?

It's a tool for a specific job, if you don't need it then yeah it's pointless. That'd be like buying a chorus pedal but none of the stuff you play uses one.

I don't even know who you are. Why do you think I would give a fuck about your gear? Or even know if you post it or not?

>I don't even know who you are
This bothers you too, doesn't it? You know why I won't post my gear here? Or my playing?

Because nothing you think about anything matters to me ;^)

How can it bother me when you don't even cross my mind. I think you think you're more important than you really are.

lol I don't need to relate to you. I don't need your approval. I don't need anything from you. I don't need you at all.

And it eats you all the way up.

This is what I was talking about currently when the 3rd worlders go on lunch break and shit up the thread, nothing but discord squabbling since they can't have conversations about music because they can barely play.

/gg/ is a meme

aren't they like 150 brand new, why did you pay 360

I'm guessing he lives in Brazil with those prices.

I'm confused alone on why anyone would pay 600 for an epiphone.

Lmfao you literal peasant

you were pushing your wheelbarrow down a pier?

Welcome to demos in 2019, watching guitar demos to hear how they sound is pretty pointless though honestly when the large majority of the sound is from the amp, pickups, eq, pedals, and mics.

Try one in store if you have some and see if it feels good to you.

>going outside
you'll die

No i was "working"

dumping your wheelbarrow at the end of the pier?

Oh you were getting pushed like a wheelbarrow.

I havent been here in a while, wtf is the wheelbarrow meme even?

Turns out jcum works as a day laborer cleaning up construction sites. He loads up a wheelbarrow full of rubbish and dumps it into a big pile all day

Where's my 7 string Fender meme machine?

musiciansfriend.com/guitars/charvel-angel-vivaldi-signature-dk24-7-nova-electric-guitar

oh, so not just a stupid meme, but a way to give annoying namefags even more attention, even when they're not involved in the conversation?

Forced meme sambo is trying to push. Its all his headcanon
See

Sure why not

And reminder i made over $600+ on monday. How much did you make all day?

>it bothers him this much
kek touched a nerve huh

leave to summer kids to make a wheelbarrow full of shit the best representation of /gg/

Man, I can't tell you how cute it is that you actually think making $600 in one day is something to brag about. You're admitting that you think this is a lot of money and that it's an unusually large sum for one days worth of work for you. Lmao, you live how many miles from Beverly Hills?

For normal people thats not bad. Oh and ask me next how many hours i did ;) enjoy your neet bux

This is so sad, man. Lower expectations, I guess.

I worked through Hal Leonard's guitar method what book should I get now?

What genres are you leaning towards? Maybe start learning genres specific techniques?

Blues and Jazz

a letter you've never associated with the number of dollars you're going to be paid in a week?

Well then legato is a good technique to learn.

>Jazz
>Legato
That's quite uncommon, jazzers tend to strictly alternate pick shit
