Reposting from the last thread:

Lads, I played violin pretty seriously through high school and was pretty good. I quit because I wasn't interested in playing in college and I'm not all that into music with violins.

I tried to pick up the guitar a few years ago and lost interest in it in about two months. I've been feeling like picking it up again, any advice to make the learning process more fun or so that I don't quit after two months? I like a lot of guitar based music, but guitar just didn't stick with me.

thats pretty cringey bro

Just learn and play songs you like bro. That's what most of the greats did.

Friedman Dirty Shirley Mini. Sounds fantastic, particularly the attack, and suits my needs (i.e., low wattage, portable, wide range of gain). It's a bit bassy, but not to the point where the EQ can't tame it. Definitely worth hearing if you've never played one, but I'd recommend getting one second-hand rather than new.

Oh yeah. That's another one I did look at, thanks for reminding me. How crazy can it get? I know a lot of people here will shitpost about it, but I'm looking for a noise rock sound, and also looking to add it to my straight up noise equipment for more dynamics.

you need a low-pass filter and pre-delay with any reverb and most pedals lack this

I'm not sure about the lack of prr-delay, but I dont mind not having a low pass filter. I mostly just want to make fucked up noisy stuff, basically

Is the Flying V a meme or is it a good first guitar?

they're stage guitars for posing with

I think about getting a 21 inch, because that's apparently the one with the most classical ukulele sound, but I'm worried it might be too small for me to comfortably use.

No worries. Might find one second hand if it really floats your boat.

Are they fun to play solo? I love the look and have been looking at them all day online

You can really only play them standing up, sitting down you have to adopt a modified classical position with crossed legs.

>looking at them all day online

ISHYGDDT

I'll def write it down and keep my eye out on Reverb.com. Local second hand is useless.

Can you buy an attachment to make them play like regular guitars when you sit?

Not for beginners. If you got a one then to play sitting down you'd have to play it like this: youtube.com/watch?v=cTIKBWs40KU&t=4m30s which is weird.

It would look dumb.

What you want is a star guitar.

Godin Session Custom 59. Extremely good quality and fun to play but has a very thick pickguard, leaving less space between the strings and the body, meaning I have had to be more precise with my picking hand.

Today was the first time I played an actual Gibson and I couldn't believe how much of a difference does the short scale make, how the fuck is a grown man supposed to play above 15th fret with this toy guitar. I'm a tall guy, but I'm in no way that off the normal range, no wonder that Gibsons are always shilled with that anime bullshit in this thread, only prepubescent asian girls could be comfortable with a Gibson. However I must admit, that it sounded pretty good, it's a shame that it's so awkward to play.

justlankletthings

Why do you need to play above the 15th fret? There's no money above the 5th fret

Yeah I know, but it's nice to have that option if you want to.

Slash seems ok with it. Dough Aldrich, Justin Derrico and Buckethead too. These guys are all over 6'2"

My teacher wants me to learn intervals, triads and scales. Wtf is this shit man? I just want to rock

He makes a point that the genius of these virtuosic players are able to figure it out for themselves. A lot of players don’t have the natural talent for that (including myself) and so he analyzes their playing to see what we can learn from them. I’ve gone from not being able to play 8th note lines at upper medium jazz tempos (like 230-270) to being able too because of his videos. I can play some licks well beyond that in the 300+ range but I don’t have my technique together yet. This attitude that you need to figure everything out intuitively is really bizzare. It’s no different than having a classical guitar method book for left hand, it’s the first systemic approach to picking. Tell me, if I continue to use Troy grady’s Info to develop my picking technique and get to a point where I can shred, what am I going to be missing out on? It’s a much more efficient use of time

>intervals

Sam Ash hah never again maybe i should just return the guitar just to spite them.

could be PRS SE are made of a light mahogany species.

What a retarded reply. The argument means no musician ever can use any sort of method book because it’s cheating if they can’t figure it out through divine intuition

This. I like to hear actual melodies, maybe the odd bit of speed hear and there but shredders bore to tears. Check out a boomer called Keith Scott

I don’t want to go so “fast”. I play straight ahead jazz and part of that music is being virtuosic at both slow and medium and fast tempos, troys videos help develop the technique for that. Just listen to pat martino or George benson. Or better yet the og’s like Parker and sonny Rollins. Chops is necessary to make it work most of the time.

$900 leafbux for this slightly used 2017 Les Paul

worth it?

Ok bro, if you're gonna follow his picking mechanics, focus on Andy Wood

better buy a paula without maple top like the les paul studio faded 2003 all mahogany with burstbuckers pups, to be honest the maple top is unesessary.

I’ve watched a lot of his videos and have an account on the forum and I already know which picking technique I’m using I don’t need you to tell me what to focus on. Just recommending him because I went from struggling to making more progress picking in the 6 months than I have in 4 years.

Gibsons look like they are made with considerably cheaper quality vs other brands, go buy PRS.

Making progress to more progress in the last six months*

Maple top is the LP tone though.

Theyre also pretty gay

Good for buddy. Troy Grady is the best!

nope, the LP growl comes from the mahogany not the maple.

Why are there no trans guitarists?

>both wrong
Never change, /gg/.

I didn't say growl, I said tone. The maple cap is an important part of the tone.

if you knew what intervals were you would also know what triads are

Who gives a fuck what its called

Because if you can go fast you can go slow, not the other way around.

Melodies and parts are often fast, you must be rather tone deaf to think speed is devoid of melody.

supposedly it adds "definition" but i have played all mahogany paulas w/no maple and they have loads of "definition" and brightness.

>maple cap
no thank you its too heavy

being able to play fast =\= constantly shredding.
it's just another weapon in your arsenal, the more you have the best to make your playing interesting.
If you know how to apply it and you do it with moderation, as with everything, it will sound good

>t. teacher

he's a pretty annoying person, but the pick slating stuff made me realize what i was doing wrong for so long. i don't play much shred stuff but i never understood how they were changing strings so fluidly. it gave me more awareness on why certain things i pick don't feel right and i can fix it quicker because i now know what i'm doing wrong

Agreed, and you avoid the (((Gib)))memoneys jew.

Boomers generally cope with their shitty playing by saying they play with feeling and dont play fast because it bores them. The result is amusing.

>Learn to play in the pocket
what does that mean

It means you can just pull it out and play

I have small brazilian hands and I can play on the higher frets of my LP

BIG BRAZILIAN DIGITS

/gg/ shut down my idea of getting a Flying V as a beginner, so I've been looking at other guitars. Is this one any good lads? I like the offset body styling, and I can get it for $450. I'd need an amp, tuner, and probably some extra strings too but I think that'd be enough crap to start with. Any amp recommendations? I live in an apartment and don't need anything big.

the rhythmic groove, it's the most important part of playing. it also doesn't mean always landing exactly on time with a metronome, that is very helpful, but irl people aren't perfectly in time metronomes. some drummers lay back behind the beat, some drummers push, some know how to do both and use both accordingly.

>boomers can't play fast

Katana.

Checked, those hands must've had been used on a lot of hard wood.
Buy something cheap, they have kits with amps, then buy a nice guitar after you learn.
Just because it's laminate doesn't mean it can't play.

>j mascis
why hello roman

also brazilian, hands not that small

Isn't $450 cheap? I've heard the kits with amps tend to be too cheap and the guitars don't stay in tune, is that true?

Going fast is easy though, being musical and fast is way harder which is where a lot of 'shred' fags fail big time

youtu.be/R0ODb4yhKXY

Musical shred

Yeah that’s true but to go fast musically you need to be able to play fast and if you don’t have the technique you’re stuck. I don’t listen to shred metal, most modern guitar player I listen to is Kurt rosenwinkel who is very musical and has a lot of chops.

Yes.

I think its just your own mind plaguing you.

BTW his technique was fully developed at 16

Thats a thicc float user, nice. I go slightly lower on mine, just to about where pulling all the way back is a half step up on the high E string.

How do you like the humbucker in the bridge?

If you like the guitar buy it, everything is worth it if you like it.
Just get an amp to match.
Personally i would get a cheaper guitar and a good amp so when i upgrade, the amp will be good enough.
Try it out first though, and don't listen to people on the internets. Also becareful since a lot of places push you for better gear when you don't need it.

I like it like how i have it because when i push it down it has a slightly bit more range than a bigsby and the body of the guitar stops the bar. And i can do some nice squeals with the extra room to lift.

Oh and the shawbucker is a good balance to the songle coils. Its a low output warm semi twangy humbucker.

What amp would you recommend lad?

im anxious for the joiner finishing my guitar

Can't wait for the shipwright to finish mine.

what is he doing with it

Are these made out of dried mud?

it's pretty good for playing classical style, which is how you should be playing, even standing up

I hate jazz fags. Most pretentious group of cock smokers out there.

Fat stinking nigger apes fail at guitar like they fail at everything else

None i dont have electric just type your guitar in google and search good am for X or find out the pickup model and go by that.

Haha i get it because 7 8 9

I play with feeling

fuck off

the book is on the table

What level are you? That has a lot to do with it. Easy stuff? Medium? Hard?

My favorites to learn are Beatles, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Ian Anderson, and because of his copying liberally from him, Roy Harper.

Lately I've been watching a lot of Paul McManus, and DADGAD.

Shit, Tony, not Paul. Retardation strikes at will.

I basically got this one down. If this is an indicator of my level

youtu.be/fNLhxKpfCnA

A peavy solid state amp

Because you can't shit around with eurorack, reverb and a sequencer to have the music made for you

I can only go from first to sixth fret because I'm noob

I wish they made more hardtail strats. I'm thinking about buying a body from warmoth to convert mine to a hardtail.
