that's fairly quick so I'll restate my previous question: What are some songs that use bass chords rather than playing single notes? Some example would be the openings of Schism, Killing In The Name Of and For Whom The Bell Tolls.
anyone got tips for practicing the modes? how would you approach modal stuff from a song writing perspective? (writing chord progressions etc)
Josiah Ortiz
Haha wrong
Aaron Jenkins
Build the mode's chords and play around with them to learn their sound.

Kayden Perez
You'd know, I guess.
Jacob Gray
How much practice time is ideal? Im trying to focus on song writing, right now i give chords 30 minutes Scale stuff w/metronome 40 minutes And after that i play random stuff until i get distracted , ive been doing this for 2 months and there is progress but not as fast as id like Also i know basic theory
Lucas Gray
As much as you can. What a dumb question
Gabriel Ramirez
Also make sure you practice smartly and you're learning efficient technique
Liam Edwards
Got any tips? I have bad adhd, but medication fucks me up so i physically cant do the same thing for more than 30 minutes sometimes less
Joshua Torres
Use all fingers, play with good sounding technique even if you need to slow down, fret lightly and change your technique if something hurts or causes any tension
Luke Reyes
You are the son of a bitch using it here though. I just knew it's not from here so I said it's from plebbit, come to think of it it's probably from Twitter.

Hey guitar general. I have played guitar for some years now, and can use the desk computer, but I'm totally new to recording. I heard you need an interface to record guitar. Which interface do you recommend for me to record guitar so I can upload it to vocaroo.com?
What problems? Can you take this opportunity to list them?
Jose Sullivan
More like i have no reason to buy one but i stilll want one but at those prices even though i can afford it i cant justify it in a million years. Im not a collector. Mind showing off your guitars user?

how bad is an indo guitar in comparison to a mexican one? I have a murican start but I wouldnt mind a cheap plank that i can take with me and not worry about, but still sounds good.
Get a more expensive guitar. Now your mexican one is the cheap one
Hudson King
Indonesian used to be bottom of barrel shit but the cort factory stepped it up in Indonesia. I tried an indonesian revstar and it was surprisingly nice. What brand you looking at?
Asher Hughes
Lol

Wait nvm you said murican. Get what you want, I'm pretty sure g&l tributes are indonesian and people say they're better than mim fender

You stupid ass. Take out water so now theres only a thumbs worth of water over the rice. Better kys.

How much should I pay for guitar lessons? Place closest to me charges $45 and looking at their website I don't think any of their instructors really warrant that based on their CV. I want someone who can really help me nail down my technique mostly and with developing a better ear
Leo Hall
Princes looks gay, i like my black scratchplate
Isaac Collins
20$ an hour is fair and kind, look online for lessons, if you are in the first world you can find a local teacher easily

buy a gibson product trache.

>It's too dumb to learn music theory, so it buys a gibson and thinks it's a musician. >It plays on 9s or lower >It doesn't own a Fender, Ibanez or PRS guitar >It only plays on combo amps So when did you realise this was just gonna be a hobby and you'll never make it.
I tried a cort made PRS 245 and the fret crowning was topclass but then again a 245 is not cheap by any means.
I have not tried the PRS made in kore.

National Westwood. 60's vintage, they go for pretty decent money on the vintage market. The dude in Blondie probably got it cheap in a pawn shop in NYC back then.
The Planet Waves one is decent, has a string cutter too
The red one looks like an Airline. The other looks like an old Italian made one, Supro make a similar looking one now I believe
Landon Adams
It stands for "student edition". The heavy handed implication is that if you are just learning or teaching yourself, not performing and recording for other people to hear, you don't need these top end custom shop gutiars that cost as much as a honda civic ($3000 lol)
Like I'm pretty sure the only reason you "need" something like a branded ESP, a PRS core model, or a "real" les paul, is if you are an endorsed artist and so you are being paid to appear on stage with a "real" one like all the other rock stars played, since it makes the brand look better if you aren't playing an SE or something (which says "Their expensive shit isn't much better, their cheap shit is good enough to perform for thousands with". True, but not a good look for the company). You don't need it for the tone, you need it because you're being paid to advertise it so people who are bad with money will think they need it for the tone.
But some brands are exempt from this because they make really affordable shit and not a lot of extravagant guitars described in phrases like "a carbon fiber reinforced neck-through masterpiece made of seven different tonewoods with abalone binding and gold inlays for shimmering tone". Fender and Ibanez come to mind. The highest of their high end matches the price and value of stuff like higher end PRS SE and gibson studio models.
Nobody born today, no matter how talented, will amount to something as a guitarist because guitars are out of fashion with the music industry. And no matter how talented you are, unless you get into the industry young, you will never be more than "that really, really, good guy who played a bar once" because the industry has a clear preference for youth, or some forgettable indie fuck
if you wanted at least one accomplishment to your name you shoulda played a classical instrument. Electric guitarists don't get offered concert appearances based on talent alone. The instrument has no prestige or respect to it.
>if you wanted at least one accomplishment to your name you shoulda played a classical instrument. Electric guitarists don't get offered concert appearances based on talent alone. The instrument has no prestige or respect to it.
this hurts to read because it's true
>sister has been playing violin for 5 years >gets to perform with renowned orchestras >she's not even that great >hasn't wrote an original song in her life >almost never plays solo
>i've been playing guitar for 10 >am better guitar than she is at violin >am better at guitar than 90% of guitarists >have to practically beg for gigs >expected to write my own songs and play solo
Noah Gomez
>The red one looks like an Airline. Close. VALCO owned National and Airline, and used that body for both companies, but that specific model was a National.
Eli Morales
I want a strat with a tone control for the bridge, and the option to select all 3 pickups at once. What's my best bet? An Elite?
>sister has been playing violin for 5 years >gets to perform with renowned orchestras This didn't happen. "Renowned" orchestras won't even look at a violinist unless they've been playing 10 years, minimum, and even then, probably not. Schools that graduate people who play at the top levels won't even look at you unless you've been playing a decade.

See the essence of the troll is that "do not want to buy" becomes "can't buy" and the implication is that the thing you don't like is objectively the best and the only way you wouldn't want it is if you were a coping poorfag.
This makes no fucking sense so you get mad. Troll complete.
If you wanted to win you should have asked for a timestamped picture of their les paul and then posted smug anime faces and empty wallets until the thread 404d.
Dylan Bailey
Credit is for buying cars and houses, mate. I'm sorry that me having enough money to buy a guitar makes it seem to you as though I'm some kind of richfag LARPer. I sincerely hope you are able to get your finances in order soon.
Wyatt Lopez
>he has to buy cars on credit >he's still wasting his money paying $500 for a $5 guitar mod
No wonder. You're not actually an adult if you can't purchase a $30,000 car in cash at least once in your life.
Well I'm not a boomer (and unlike some people I don't LARP as one either) so there's still plenty of time for that

All of the practice time in the world doesn't mean shit if you're not using it well. 5 minutes of productive practice > 3 hours of unproductive practice. Do the real question is "am I using the practice time I currently have as effectively as possible?"

Finger strength is key you weak ass bitch made faggot. To a living cretin such as yourself im sure anything with a pulse within the last 10 minutes is good enough for you.
W*men have no work ethic. They have no concept of having to put in effort into something to be rewarded. I dated a classical guitarist for a bit. She'd been "playing" for most of her life and wanted to make it her minor in college. She also never practiced, could not keep time, had shit left-handed technique (her right hand was pretty good though ;] ) and played mostly Iron & Wine and Fleet Foxes songs
The soulless chink meme is the calling card of the white nationalist with yellow fever
