i'm a bedroom musician. Is there any reason to get a head + 1x12 instead of a 20w~50w combo?

no. I gig and sometimes wish I had a combo.

In the previous thread someone talked about soldering on a 5150 head.

My Dudes. Please don't fuck around with tube circuits and the caps and transformers they use. They will kill you dead very efficiently if you fuck up, and will have no problem burning your house down. Just don't, unless you know what you're doing.

But every guitarist should have a soldering iron in his gig box, and know how to use it. Making a cable or soldering pots is one of the easiest things in the world, and you don't need more than a $10 soldering iron and some flux core solder.

You can't get an MG-69 in the US unless its used

Imo head+cab sounds better than a combo. Get what you can afford though youre probably a nasty ass peasant anyways.

Fuck off no one cares.

Very few amp demos are good on YT. Very few people dial things in right. Every boomer dials a Mesa in like a Marshall and wonder why it sounds muddy since you on those amps you actually cut the bass more as you clip them for example. If you're trying to 'research' amps I'd suggest going to a store and just plugging into a bunch to see how they sound with your stuff.

None of them are good because it's always mic'd, every cab is different ,and then the already mastered audio is compressed to hell.

Plus they all have different boutique pickups that you probably don't

You can still get a general idea of the 'voice' of most amps at least, like a Vox/Marshall/Fender all sort of have a signature base sound. I know what you mean though, its still gonna be a lot different with your gear, playing style, etc

get throat cancer.

You mean boomer companies shitting out low quality products and trying to ride off their brand's reputation, never innovating or attempting to compete with newer companies?

Why is this retard so popular

Attached: file.png (275x287, 131K)

As the name suggests, i played (well really forced to play) the violin for 10+ years, and switched to guitar over a year ago.

I know how to do the basic open and barred chords, and a couple of more fancy ones like Maj79 and stuff.

But I dont "get" where a lot of notes are on the fretboard, even tho I know how to quickly play major, minor and blues scales. Everytime I improvise, it sounds like shitty classical music, not rock or anything fun. Also my vibrato sounds like dogshit, I just hate the way it sounds on the higher strings, going UP then down, rather than down than up.

Any tips?

>not superior 11-49

Other retards.

I used to use 13s in e standard, loved the tone, but the higher strings kept breaking so I went down to 11s or 10s.

what are the best guitar kits?

>Yes, I do play a Gibson. How could you tell?

Attached: yq6chuby4nt21.jpg (3088x2320, 510K)

Unfortunately the guitar isn't laid out all that logically so you'll have to spend a lot of time to learn where the notes are. You can of course find ways of making it easier, but ultimately you have to come up with your own memory methods. For me I found learning intervals and more theory stuff more for learning the notes, in addition doing ear training stuff helped a lot too. You'll have to experiment with stuff to figure out what works for you, its open ended, etc. If you want to sound more like rock music, you'll probably want to learn the pentatonic shapes and scales more as they're common in rock. The blues scale is as well and if you already know that scale, you basically know your pentatonics. Another suggestion would be to play whatever scale in whatever key you want to play in to learn to play it on a single string, play it across all 6 strings, play it on 2 strings, etc (this is how I do it, not everyone does it this way).

The vibrato stuff is a lot different on guitar than violin. Some players have a violin-like vibrato like Malmsteen. This all takes time to develop and you can bend/vibrato lots of different ways. Just study more players and you'll pick up on it, it sounds like you're just more used to violin.

>vibrato
You have to shake the piss out of it. I also find increasing the vibe on a tone before the next phrase pulls your riffs together. You can shake side-to-side but the vibe won't be as exaggerated.

>finding notes
Maybe you should tune the same as a violin. Just say to hell with relearning everything tuned to forths and that fucked up B string.

Just realized that I don't have a good pic of it by itself. So a stock image will have to do.

If you're happy with it then it's fine, if you seek validation from random people on Yea Forums they'll shit on you no matter what you buy.

not a real gibson

Don't let owning a cheaper guitar bother you everyone starts somewhere. You could have a $10000 dollar custom shop guitar that sings like an angel and be known around the world for your amazing playing and there's still be contrarians on the mongolian basket weaving forums that say you can't do anything right.

Or you could just be shit like jcope

I found playing every note of a scale as it's own chord helped learn the fretboard.

Just beating scales and scale patterns kind of locks me into positions. Like for key F I'll get stuck in

xx3x56
xx3x56
x23x5
x23x5
1x3x5
1x3x5

If I move outside, I'm just guessing. So learning to play chords on the scale helps me find notes outside of what I know. A major scale for example is maj-min-min-maj-maj-min-diminished-maj

Start by just using two notes, then move onto 3 or different chord types.

Is it better to move to a baritone rather than a 7 string guitar?

learn the chords of the major scale. example, in C major it's
>C major >>D minor >> E minor >> F major >> G major >> A minor >> B diminished >> C

learn how to play this in every place on the fretboard. play the triads on the bottom strings and the top. repeat for all keys then move on to natural minor.

this problem is caused when you want guitars for dishonest reasons - not because you want them but because you want to tell other people you have them or because someone else had one and you're imitating them. since the purchase doesn't really fulfill your desire (i want to be recognized as a guy who owns a cool guitar, that's why i bought an MIA strat, the most iconic, least objectionable guitar! - nobody cares. i want to be [guitar hero] so i'll buy his gear - you aren't him) you feel empty inside.

buy a guitar that completes you, as much as a guitar can, and the rest takes more work than clicking "buy it now" on ebay

every cool guitar is cool because someone cool played it
those people were cool because they practiced until they were good

I've been an avid musician for almost a decade now, but my experience is almost entirely percussion, woodwind, and brass. I finally picked up guitar this last month and barre chords have been fucking with me hard. I've got a technique that works for me—I press my barre finger into the strings on the side of my finger rather than the flat front. Is that weird? Will it affect my tonality? Right now it's the only way I can get anywhere close to consistently covering the D string all the way.

sure it was just standards and studios i tried out, they really rode the reputation of those old les pauls that guys in the 70s were practically giving away.
>oh hi jimmy have my old piece of shit les paul that will be worth $ gorillion in 2019, it's kinda fucked and i had to replace the broken pickup lmao.

that shit be nice an smooth after i pile drive yow dirty ass twinkle tits.

Yeah those Firebirds are garbage. Still probably better than the crappy Strat copies that are in most music schools. Overall, depends on the Gibson. Latest one I played was a modern Studio, and yeah it was junk. Also played a '57 reissue which was kind of a boat anchor and unimpressive and a vintage ES-125/150 (forget) which was only OK.

Good ones: 80s 335 which was beautiful, 50s LP Junior which was pure rock, 50s ES-175 which was very cool but not worth the 5k+ they were asking, and 90s Super 400 which was everything I imagined. They have made really magic guitars but have lost their way.

yeah i'm sure the old ones were good, but no way worth the price (nowadays). I had a burny LP which was superior to any gibson I have played, it was probably similar to those original gibsons. I'm surprised any guitarist buys expensive stuff like that especially when most interviews you read with "famous guy" always says about how they just bought whatever was cheap and worked at the time. sorry faggots you are never going to sound like jimmy page even if you buy orange drop capacitors. fucking kys.

So basically I'm better at every genre except the rock n roll that I always practiced. I'm not buying that idea sorry. I'm the best rock n roll guitarist of town.

Next question.

What exactly is so special about these jazz iii picks? I have 6 in nylon and 12 in tortex but haven't had the time to use and test them.

what do boobs feel like?

150 is perfect for beginner. Even if it’s sucks to play on your still just learning

Buy a variety pick, choose your fav, buy a pack of those

I never see anybody do this. Whose gear demos are you watching?

Well there you go

They really need to do each demo with a strictly non-custom Les Paul, Strat, Tele, and a $300 dual humbucker Ibanez RG, so people know what they're really getting.

It doesn't matter, just play it

Bad list. G&L should be at the top because they make quality guitars across the range for good prices. Then PRS as they do the same but are a bit pricier. Then Fender as while they're overpriced they are pretty consistent. Everything else shouldn't be on the list although Epiphone and Schecter are good. Gretsch should be on there

anyone knows a magnet for amplitube or guitar rig?

Retarded list. Music Man by Ernie Ball should be at number one and PRS at second and Charvel at third. Schecter, Jackson, Fender and G&L are fine too but the rest are irrelevant.

Is this a good superstrat? Anything better for that price?

>Ibanez above ESP
lmao, otherwise its not far off

Ibanez is better than ESP though. Tell me why you believe otherwise.

"Brands". We're not talking about advanced tech here. Slopes have been out doing everyone since the 70s. Maybe look at innovative stuff liked multiscale if you want to go for a western made axe.

Brand is pretty much code word for selling a name rather than an actual quality product. Although you may have built the brand by making a quality product in the past.

I think dean is missing

Does anyone here have expirence with the epiphone g400? Im thinking about getting it

ESP always been better. Superior custom shop and even the low end ones slay any Ibeenhad. Ibanez always has shitty pickups too

Don't get an Epiphone. Only a Gibson is good enough.

what's /gg/ verdict on filimore 50? how good does it take pedals?

I dont feel like spending 3 times as much for a difference only 5 people will notice( that is if they care enough to losten closely)
Ill go check it out at my local shop, but is there anything worth checking thats similar?

so your opinion doesnt matter cuck,where are you from anyway?

Where to place fingers on the fretboard

Played one a couple weeks back. Really great amp and simple to dial in. I would personally go for the new 100 model, the bigger output transformer and headroom is worth it. It takes pedals really well though, it has a Fender like tone stack but the bass stays really clear on it. It also sounds best at low volume cause of the attenuator it has. Watch the Andy Timmons video he uses a bunch of pedals with it.

it's tab numbnuts

Mombai

sorry I've only been using boxes so far and the tab examples I've seen are like more than one line

so Am 5-7-7-0-0-0 just means fret at 5th, 7th and 7th for E A D strings?

Its a good cheap guitar for beginners

Nice trips, are you speaking from expirence? I want to get some heavy tones

Thank you for the insight user, 100 w would be too loud for someone like me who only plays inside the house unfortunately. I was actually planning to buy Fender delux reverb or super reverb for clean,pristine sound but saw this one guy selling mint condition fillmore 50 for just 1200 euro so got really triggered haha

trust me, they only notice the name on the headstock.

And epiphone is a good brand in general, most people like them

I'm so afraid to upgrade any equipment. I'm still only learning. I can play but not well. Why should I?
One thing that bothers me is when I have distortion on, play a note and play another note one fifth above it. it sounds muddy when they should be consonant

Nah, the 100 is totally fine. You can attenuate it down to 22W. Don't fall for the 50 meme if you can spend another $200. Big amps always sound better 99% of the time when its the same circuit.

But like can I justify it, really.
its the workman and not his tools really.

But would you really rather play a guitar made in a chink sweatshop than a quality american-made one? It does make a difference, you know

Use less distortion

Its not a mater of prefernce its simple logic, if i get rich ill buy a new guitar every week

Depends on what kind of heavy. I own one, I play mostly noise rock(for which I am getting JM or Tele soon-ish) post-hardcore and stoner doom. It's perfect for doom, you might want to replace the pickup eventually, but my G400 is well built and just feels right. The specs are same as on Nigson, for fraction of price. If you like the sound of Gibson pickups, I suggest shilling a 100$ extra for G400 Pro, otherwise just get standard G400 and whatever pickups you like

Anyone who buys any brands as new today is a plebbet sucker. None of these famous makes "are what they used to be"

Yeah but that also means you need to ring out the open G, B, and e strings. If you just want to play the power chord like a normal person, you need x's instead of 0's for those strings.

sorry bro, i'm australian and a mining multimillionaire. gibson are just shit mate. get over it.

Thanks user , dumb question but can the tele get the same 'gibson' sounds you get from the g400?

Ah so not only are you defending them but you're too poor to afford one? Fuck man that's embarrassing. I feel really sorry for you bro. I hope maybe someday you can scrape together enough reals to buy an Epiphone LP-100 from the favela pawnshop

no.

if we're not from the US we're all brazilian apparently....

I heard the tele can play heavy stuff , is that a meme?

Tune your guitar. Also, fix the intonation. Also use the bridge pickup for high gain power chords. Also set your tone knob to 10.

It depends on the brand really, current Fender is much better than where it was in the 70s - 80s and they only started to turn it back around in the 90s.

G&l do it better for less money

American G&L’s and American fenders are the same price range you dumb jew

I dont give a shit, my indo made g&l is still better then your mia fender, and costs less than half, seeth harder

not just CNC, wood is mass dried in industrial ovens

but there are a lot of humans still in the process so it's easy to get a shitty one

G&Ls are custom shop quality for cheaper. My ASAT is an incredible guitar, and best of all since you faggots are so concerned with having a meme on your headstock, I got it for a steal. Traded it for a guitar I paid 280 bucks for.

Ive played with the truss rod and thumbscrews and it's reduced my fret buzz, but not eliminated it.
Is taking it in for a setup the right thing?

>My indo made g&l is better than your mia Fender
Imagine being this retarded

yea

>your fantasy:
>man i'm a manly cowboy for playing this glitter telecaster

Meanwhile in reality old school fenders are guitars for indie fags and women now.

I can't think of a single man born somewhere around the present generation who plays a telecaster and isn't some sort of fag.

Attached: D1Lsht7U8AEwgQK.jpg (1080x1080, 192K)

>custom shop quality for 280
Do you even know what you are saying?

most of your fret buzz is because of your bad fretting and picking technique and once that's fixed some "rattle" is acceptable unless you want a really crystal clear tone

then you're gonna need a really high action

he must mean gibson "custom shop" quality, which is just regular gibson but it costs twice as much, when regular gibson is epiphone but it costs twice as much. actual custom shops like suhr, fender customs, ESP, and kiesel make some great shit.

I thought about that and deliberately fretted and picked in a variety of methods different than my own. Still there. Confined to a handful of frets, but there.

you need a fret job, not a set up

setups are a meme

>I'm pretty happy with it
Already answered your own question

I don't believe any part of your post except that that is indeed the jackson soloist

I'm not saying that 280 directly translates through to custom shop quality, just the combination of me getting an expensive guitar (1150 new) for 280 and then being able to trade it for a USA G&L was only really possible because people don't know them or want Fenders instead. And yeah it is custom shop quality, really well built guitar that holds its tuning amazingly.

No I don't. Gibsons are for trannies

ok i will keep that in mind,thank you

Just take that screenshot eh? Shouldn't have bought a gibson when you can barely play guitar.

High wattage tube amps aren't loud when played clean, they just have a lot of headroom. They're only loud if you're going for natural overdrive, especially if it's a vintage style volume-only amp.

If you just do cleans and use pedals a 100w is fine and will sound great due to the headroom. I have a 15w amp that's nearly impossible to play clean at any decent volume (louder than the gutiar itself) because it has so little headroom.

I get it, you're out of money.

Should have just got the les paul studio.

At least you have a les paul standard, right weeb? It looks, feels, and sounds the same as a les paul studio and nobody knows it's a standard but you and one autistic gibson identifying nerd but boy if it wasn't worth the extra grand and a half.

>I have a 15w amp that's nearly impossible to play clean at any decent volume (louder than the gutiar itself) because it has so little headroom.

Thats bullshit desu if you're talking about just bedroom playing. 15w tube for bedroom playing is loud, especially for apartment stuff. I have a blues jr and know first hand how loud the shit gets even clean.

100w tube is complete overkill for bedroom playing

2x12 or 4x10

Higher wattage amps always sound better at low volumes than low wattage amps. Go play one and you'll see.

thank you for the response,guess i will save some money and buy 100w

It's loud because you turned it way the fuck up to get muh tube saturation tone.

It doesn't even get up past 90db that often, so it's about as loud as a violin (95db).

Is that what you're doing when you tell yourself that it was worth the money?

Bro you paid a grand and a half to have a heritage cherry burst paintjob, that's it

Attached: SOUR GRAPES.jpg (1360x1535, 605K)

No shit my point is that it can get extremely loud even without oversaturating it for overdrive. If you're actually recommending a 100w amp for someone just playing in their room you have a brain deficiency and think because your 100w katana works for bedroom a tube amp should work fine

You obviously haven't plugged into a large amp at bedroom volume. They don't get blaring loud like you think they do. High end amps have way better volume controls and circuitry than a Blues Junior. Go look up a Bogner or Mesa, they all sound great at low volumes even the 100W heads

100w tubes are fine for playing at home and people have been doing it for 50 years. Turn it down, it still sounds fine. Sounding fine turned down is a characteristic of a 100w tube amp.

The low wattage amp thing is a fairly recent meme for hipster tone fiends
>i gotta get the full tube saturation!

Go to a guitar store and try playing a few 100w amps clean at a decent volume and maybe with a little experience you won't be such a retard. A lot of them sound not just fine, but great.

For example, SLO100 at bedroom level:

Sounds great

You've never owned a 100w tube why are you posting like your gear is worth more than $500. I've owned a peavey xxx and sold it because it just sounds like shit before you can turn it up to sound better.
