What's with you fags and girl guitars
how to make home made capo?
rubber bands and chopsticks
I use a turkey's wishbone
two shitty guitars on what appears to be a dirt floor
why even bother with a case for that korean metal plank?

Because it came with it? Use your brain pal.
well sell both those to someone in need of firewood and you'll be able to afford a nice used gibson with the proceeds
I've been playing for over a decade and I know zero theory, I have horrible playing habits, and any time I try to write a song, it sounds uninspired and unskilled. Should I try to overwrite my bad habits and learn theory, or should I try to learn something new like piano? I'm not absolutely in love with guitar, I mainly see it as a songwriting tool.
Theory is a tool. If you couldn't come up with something without it you'll be just as shit with it.
I mean, I've been playing on and off for over 10 years, but I still can basically only play power, barre, and open chords.
Ahh yes the sunburst nigger
And you think that, if given knowledge of theory, you'd play anything but basic harmonies instead of using it as a box to look outside of? You never even tried that with your basic knowledge so what makes you think you'll change now?
:) that's an amusing name for it I guess
>learning theory makes your music formulaic
Learning theory because you couldn't come up with interesting ideas without it is a sign you're going to make even more formulaic music.
>when youre queer vegan and trans
the sunburst really kills the aesthetic of this guitar.
hmm lemme see your guitars
I've been hearing a girl's voice in my head and she's telling me to do weird things like buy dragon fruit at the grocery store and do handstands in my garage. Anybody else ever experience this?

Hey anons, just bought an electric guitar the other day and started learning. Following the justin guitar videos, is all the theory the same for an acoustic and electric? I imagine it is, but I don't see it said anywhere and he is using an acoustic. Also I learned the the opening bit to interstellar overdrive, which is cool for me, the song that made me want to play the guitar. Be well, friends..
Does she have a Croatian accent too?
Boomer detected
you're so cranky what's wrong
It is the same, friend.
Reissues dumbass, or dumbass reissues? Why would you buy such an inconvenient instrument?
Is it fun to harken back to the days when leo fender had even less of a clue?
I have a fucking hole in my throat
What's the appeal of a guitar that looks like it's infested with bugs
Thank you
People still penetrate your moms pussy. Its really no different.
i wonder why this guy has so many similar guitars

>YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ITS MY PASSION

Are you trying to cope because you couldn't afford a reissue? Are you adjusting your truss rod every time you play it? What's the source of your frustration?
I adjust my tross rod once a month and all I have to do is detune the D and G strings.
You have to detune all of them and loosen the fucking neck.
What, couldn't afford a gibson with the truss rod nut in the right spot?
>adjusting once a month
Where do you live where that's necessary?
reissues Fenders cost more than basic Gibsons. I get it, you're bating. That's it from me
>I adjust my tross rod once a month
Quit buying shit
Not him but im 'batin' too
>Where do you live where that's necessary?
Florida.
>only buying a basic gibson
Heh
Hey me three brother
It was the skinny black girl in the other thread, wasn't it?
Are basic Gibsons not good enough?
damn that's a sexy guitar
What part of Brazil is Florida in?
No, they aren't even real Gibsons. They're actually rebranded epiphones.
imagine thinking a gibson is impressive lmoa
anyone with a full time job can afford one of those, but spending all that money on a mass produced guitar that plays as well as, sometimes worse than, a $1000 clone just makes you look like an idiot
Eww no niggers are disgusting. Whats wrong with you Edsel?
>/gg/: no, gibsons are good, you're poor
>published and gigging guitarists: fuck gibson, it's an asshole company that makes overpriced gutiars and has to sue their competition to stay relevant
Dont pay it no mind its just a coping tranny
Nobody here understands that a $2000 guitar isn't expensive because nobody here has a job that pays better than mcdonalds, except for the people who already own or have owned gibsons.
Working is the same as dying.
And the people who own guitars that are better than anything Gibson has ever made, of course, but they don't get triggered because they didn't feel awkward and unworthy when they asked to try out gibsons at a gutiar store.
despite that sam is dilligently saving his pesos and looking at used les pauls on ebay
passives help bring out the natural characterists of the woods in your guitar. If you were to put a 81/60 set on a piece of plywood it would most likely sound the same, if not very similar, to a mahagony body. I just think it's stupid to have a guitar made of awesome tone woods and expert craftsmanshit to have it ruined by putting in a set of EMG's in there. it just doesn't make sense to me.
the reason why passives have a meatier tone comes from the characteristics of the wood, which the wood holds the mid tonal characteristics. essentially passives take in both the wood and strings into the overall tone, coloring the strings tone that comes from the wood, where actives only pickup the strings (this is why they have a higher bandwidth) giving that acoustic like tone.
Why would you buy a Gibson when you could buy a Mosrite
only a macmull is good enough

>guitar is not named after sacfricial car parts
Yeah kid, it wasnt perfect but it was all we had when we couldn’t get gibsons
When ya grow up with those shitty guitars ya gotta learn to play. Guitars thees days are too nice...so instead of playing ya’ll fuck around with stompboxes
single coils>>>>humbuckers
Also, the Stratocaster was designed around a much better genre than the Les Paul was
western swing>jazz
Nuh uh
Jazz > western swing
Wrong,
Western swing>>>>>>>(j)azz
90% of humbucker players are just thinking "DOOD, ROCK AND METAL! IMMA ROCK STAR!"
90% of single coil players are just thinking "rock and metal is too mainstream and white-male" (pic related)
They both suck.

imagine relying on "tone" as a substitute for skill
well i can't play jazz with a cranked metal zone through a line 6 spider can i
youtube.com
How do I get the tone in this song? Particularly the part at about :32 seconds into the song that repeats after each chorus.
Is that just a clean tele with the bridge pickup?
Maybe, but if you were skilled enough you could play something the fits both with a decent amp without any pedal
Guys, do you think rock music has any real chance of coming back to the mainstream?
I know people say "I SWEAR rock is totally alive, you just have to go to a hipster bar in Brooklyn on a Tuesday night to find so and so band", but at that point it's unlikely to reach an audience.
I feel like a lot of current rock has not sonically progressed past 2005, and just sound like boring post White Stripes Jack White tier stuff.
Literal trannies
Is this looper pkay? I want to loop chord progressions to practice lead playing , this is the cheapest looper i found and i dont have any pedals
Listen to SRV and remember that he was most popular the mid-late 80s. Anything is possible.
I finally found a great solution for GAS. If you're lusting after a guitar or a piece of gear, just wait a month before buying it. Usually the want will dissipate, but if you still want it after a month, you'll appreciate even more and know it's something you genuinely wanted and not just a shiny toy your brain got preocuppied with.
Visualise scale patterns and relationships, intervals in the scale, chord progressions, the notes on the fretboard if you don't know them, etc. I've been 'relearning' the guitar and filling in the gaps from the ground up and every instructor I've come across emphasises how useful this is.
>wanted a reissue strat this time last year
>still want it
Welp.
Sounds like you'd appreciate owning it then.
>posts Tele, the ultimate "white male" guitar
???
Get a Ditto, it's the SM57 of loopers.
> 12" radius fretboard
> even more comfortable because of extra bodsy contouring and a smaller neck joint
> 24 frets for even more noodly solo possibilites and to satisfy those with OCD and/or autism
> hardtail option for those who don't use cheesy whammy bar effects
> coil split/tapped humbuckers of HSH config for versatility
The Superstrat is the perfect guitar. The only problem is that they usually make them in finishes geared toward the edgemeister crowd.
>do you think a predominantly white genre has any chance of coming back to mainstream?
"No"
Not in the USA
This is just what everybody does when buying things worth more than $500.
it wasn't even a white genre when it first started. Also, it's only black people that I would say largely have an aversion to rock, and they're not the demographic that is making the US less white.
I'm the same with new purchases but sites like ebay and reverb have clouded my judgement in the past.
Hopefully I'll get to find out within the next couple of months.
Thanks for letting me know it looks better and is also cheaper, while im at it are there any other pedals you recommend?
Only buy a pedal if you're sure you need it for a specific purpose. Everyone needs a looper so they listen for mistakes in their playing and so they can practice improvising over their own chord progressions, so this was a good choice of first pedal.
Rock music produces rockstars. Rockstars are worshipped.
White people are not allowed to be worshipped. They are dumb, evil nazis that have always been jealous of other races and need to be destroyed because we need to stop climate change.
How fucking hard is that to understand?
Post Malone and Ariana Grande are massively popular, and they're explicitly copying from black music.
exactly, because they go out of their way to look and sound black
Thanks man , you are a great guy
Eh I would still say that plenty of pop that isn't particularly black is popular. Dua Lipa, Camila Cabello, Ava Max, Sean Mendes etc. don't sound very black to me
Very nice. Just picked up an Aerodyne Tele 2 weeks ago. Hard as fuck to find anymore for a reasonable price.
I never like juggs, but that guitar is gorgeous

would rather listen to actual blacks sing these tunes desu, this is pathetic
your definition of "R&B" is very broad. This stuff is mostly "white pop" rather than R&B like this
I want to sniff Dua Lipa's asshole now
besides the keyboards there's not much "white pop stuff" going on in those tunes
Post a more perfect guitar
protip:
Is this a serious post? Because i thought about it
None of these sound remotely black except "Havana" maybe, but most of her work doesn't sound like that.

bullshit mojo. wood makes not much difference to the sound. this has been proven over and over again, it's mostly the pickups even if they are passive.
you're shit at lead as well. sorry.
this man, i fuckin can't believe how good my phat cats sound.
you can use termofuzz for almost all of the fuzz sounds
think you might want a shin ei fuzz (jesus and mar y chain) or a maestro (rolling stones satisfaction)
how do i play solos on neck pickup? even strat sounds bassy and awful
Vox Superbeatle Amp for The Prunes. Find something that can replicate it.
hitting the mainstream? no way, if it wasn't for image it would be as shirked as jazz is. Rock is still seen as cool but what the fuck do I know? Anything can happen.
try compression, or overdrive a tube amp. hit the strings hard, hit the strings soft. good luck.
twist some knobs fucker
neck pickups are the best faggot.
creamy, fat, warm, full bodied, velvetsounding tastiness
still bassy
if i make decent sound out of neck pickup then how do i use bridge?
bassy and unuseble with overdriven amp
you are shit or your pickups are shit.
don't
Those are pretty much the only kinds of chords that sound good with distortion other than doublestop thirds and sixths. What kind of music are you trying to make? If you’re using a clean guitar tone I recommend Don Mock’s Jazz rhythm video and Jimmy Bruno’s old instructional video to get some new chords down. Robbed Ford also has some good shit about creating movement between chords.

This is how I know you're EQing wrong, retard.
Sometimes I love this general. ITT retard fucks up EQ so bad he refutes the "different pickups for different genres" argument by complaining that his Stratocaster is too bassy
It's going be dope with the Carcosa fuzz and Julia chorus/vibrato.

I am of the opinion that once you have a 24 fret guitar with a floyd and a 22 fret hardtail, you do not need any more guitars period, and if they're both HH or HSH you definitely don't need any more guitars period.
The word "analog" makes boomers and retards think it sounds better because somehow our own creations are magical wonders of nature that are nearly impossible to replicate in software.

Some people just like collecting shit like a musical packrat. Some people are just dumb. There's a difference.
Anyways all the pros are using digital effects and nobody has yet to call them out on sterile digital tone or anything like that so the majority of people who would take pedals over effects processors are just dumb.
>I don't like glassy, chimey neck single coil pickup tones

But the rest is "useful".

They sound so close that you can't tell in a full mix. You DO play with a band, right?
Too tight together mate.
Humbuckers are just a better design.
>They sound so close that you can't tell in a full mix.
Stop, Helen.
They sound better than single coils
you don't need to play in a band for close to cut it. you can also record and do post-EQ.
What's your action height? I'm riding around 2.5mm / 1.5mm. A string has a tiny bit of buzz, can't get it lower.

Ok guys this has been bugging me.
I own pic related and find it impossible to get a tone that isn't completely ridiculously distorted.
I recently wanted a fuzz pedal that I could get a really heavy sound out of, but that I could also turn down so it's almost like an overdrive. I settled on the green russian big muff.
I really like it and how it sounds but apparently fuzz pedals are supposed to be more distorted than distortion pedals, so how come I'm finding it so difficult to tone down the HT-Dist?
They don't
can you feel it's love buzz?
>I recently wanted a fuzz pedal that I could get a really heavy sound out of, but that I could also turn down so it's almost like an overdrive.
Doesn't the proco rat do this? Sounds super fuzzy when cranked and serves as a boost or overdrive before that
>toning down a distortion pedal
the problem is you bought a distortion pedal, it happens to a lot of people. sell that thing and get an overdrive pedal.
I know but i know you have jungle fever too because you always post nig vicious.
even if it's mxt dist+
are you talking about that yellow 80 dollar piece of trash? be serious for once.
To be fair to him, you generally want to get the bass out of the signal BEFORE it hits any kind of clipping. This can be tricky if you're running a neck pickup straight into a dirty amp. Personally, I like a bass rolloff knob on my guitars; I find it more useful than a treble rolloff, but the correct answer is of course to have both a la G&L.
Just hear it, only the A string.
Someone recommend me some guitar music that will make me dance like this
Why don't metal guitars have active bass/mid/treble EQ on them? Aren't metalfags tired of relying on boutique overdrives that do the same thing? Aren't extra knobs fashionable among shredders?
Instead they just have a volume knob and then a bunch of processing right before the amp.
That's fair enough. I actually got the pedal free with my guitar but you're right, an overdrive would probably be better suited to my playstyle. I never know if it's worth getting one because it seems like most of the time when they're demo'd in a youtube video, you can barely hear the difference between that and what the guy considers to be a "clean" tone.
Seems pretty cool actually, Would you recommend it just for overdrive or would that be overkill?

Thanks!
Splits, parallels and taps sound good, but they don't sound like singles, my man.
Fuck knows. All mine get a bass rolloff pot wired straight in. Dead simple.
You could just 'cheat' and use guitar pro, it's actually a decent tool outside of what the brainless elitist cucks say. I don't know a lot of theory, definitely know the essentials, but not a great amount. Guitar pro has allowed me to learn theory way better than any teacher.
i just look for the tabs lmao
Meant to quote not myself, obvs.
Probably a Mosrite or maybe a copy by some company like Eastwood

I would say metal has fully replaced rock, metal is becoming mainstream to, which is surprising.
You did it!

Practice more
Listening to car noise. I hope you'll actually learn some of these Jeff Beck tracks on guitar
That's weird, how the hell did you come up with that? Very intriguing.
Fuck off, Sammy.
Learn a few that are too hard. Play them at half speed and use a metronome.
I literally saw a guy bring his Gibson in for a snapped fucking headstock in the music store yesterday. Meanwhile I was playing a god tier custom shop fender

It's a shit guitar but at least it works huh?
New bread when?
I saw a guy get hit by a car while crossing the road with his custom shop fender the other day. Meanwhile I was testing out the suspension on my Volkswagen Golf with my Gibson in the back

tips to start learning by ear?
Try learning things by ear
Try to get the bassline first as a foundation for the rest (from there try to work out the chord progression and the melody, the former is usually harder)
Don't be afraid to pause often (even after just one note/strum or so). It helps the sound stay in your ear. It will get easier
Knowing music theory helps a ton because you can often narrow down the chord options quickly
Start with easy poppy songs with a cleaner tone and work your way up
