>I like being recognized as a musician more than actually playing music
I don’t whatsoever. I think some of those who haven’t seen me live like my work colleagues probably assume I am chasing some pipe dream to be rich and famous, when in reality I just enjoy writing songs and performing live. Couldn’t care less about image.

I honestly don't get the appeal of a Gibson, with the exception maybe of the firebird body shape. I stopped paying attention to their guitars after I stopped reading guitar magazines as a teenager desu.

Use your fingers to play the root notes and then the top or slap against the neck I do some of the hitting the board after the queen shit here
I suppose, I wouldn’t anticipate any interest beyond fifteen minute sets at open mics though. Even if the guy is great it’s guitar wanking at its core rather than music.

But tranny did post it along with her little Yui doll.
As a guitarist he is very talented but most songs I heard by him don't really have a really groove it's all just technical stuff. Watching him play for entertainment yes I like him but I can't sit and slap to his work sadly.

That sounded like a hot turd bro good job. I can't tell if you're out of tune from squeezing too hard, picking too hard, not tuning your guitar, not intonating it, or a combination of all of those.

Some newb just bought one so he's shilling it
Same thing happened when not one but three retards bought "ESP" guitars (E-II, because it's all /gg/ can afford). The ESP shilling was so strong the gibson shills had a meltdown.
John Gomez
Floyds are really easy to deal with if you spend like 10 minutes figuring out how they work.
Also instead of cutting the ball-ends off of your strings, just string it backwards and leave the ball on the tuner.
If you set them up right they stay in tune amazingly.
Alexander Powell
mmm, tasty
Asher Thomas
I thought E-II was literally just a rebrand of the Japanese made ESPs once the USA ship came around
can confirm based on experience, fender > esp > gibson > schecter, and ibeenhad isn't even in the running
Lincoln Ramirez
I heard there was one but he killed himself.
Sebastian Adams
I have had a few Fenders over the years that were all great instruments. I just generally don't like the way they sound and feel that much so I always end up selling them. I have a really cool charvel model 1 that is a lot of fun to play.
Never owned a Jackson, had a Gibson SG that I sold because it wasn't very interesting. Played in a band with a guy with several Schecters and they were nice guitars, I just don't like the visual aesthetics.
Of course take this with a grain of salt because my favorite guitar ATM is my monster of a Guild X-79.
William Murphy
Fenders have always been those guitars you think you don't like, even though for some reason, you play better on them and never get a sore fretting hand even after two hours of playing.
Jack Jackson
the usual end of trannies
Jace Hall
holy fuck it's 2:26
Eli Morgan
It was weird to see Am not be the root just after 0:45 as I'm accustomed to playing.
I used to see solo guitarists play in subway stops and they played electric. They usually had a looper so they could play solos and something for drumming. One person told me the main goal was to sell albums for like $10.00 which was way more than they would get from pocket change. So IMO recording on your computer to create backing tracks is better than a looper.
It all depends on how dedicated you are. I've seen videos of 7 year olds who were better than adults.
E-II is literally ESP standard rebranded, but ESP standards were never sold in japan, so nips re-imported them and it hurt ESP's domestic reputation as a boutique custom shop
hence the name change, to keep nips from thinking ESP is a factory guitar brand like fender and gibson, and to remind the west that they weren't just japan's answer to jackson.
David Bailey
who are we talking about?

and then americans stopped buying them because they just wanted the same headstock logo as those dudes from slayer lol
Carter Jenkins
Shiiori Experience >>> K-on!
Altough we will never see Shiiori experience animated
I think his arcade button innovation is pretty fucking neato. Manga-wise? Absolutely. K-ON is a mediocre manga. If it ever got an anime, the chances are very slim it would even come close to K-ON, because Yamada and KyoAni.

At least they played their actual instruments through the whole song without doing any terrible hand-syncing while a backing track played (coughROSELIAcough)

Been doing it for about 15 years and never had either of those problems. It is really nice though because if you leave enough slack around the tuner you can just unwind some from the post if your string breaks near the bridge at a gig. Also saves time fucking around when changing the strings.
Cameron Hernandez
She probably had more experience than Yurishii at least.
Pretty sloppy dude. Work on your rhythm, the note choice is weird too. Maybe it could sound good but you need to play it a lot tighter to transmit intentionality, otherwise it sounds aimless.
Josiah Mitchell
You need to listen to a lot more jazz. Get into Wes Montgomery and Django.
Joshua Hall
Nirvana is one of the best band names of all time.

What does that say about /gg/ when music school graduates go on to play shred wank on superstrats?

FRIENDLY REMINDER NOT TO PLAY THE BUTTER NOTES
Gabriel Price
Don't go to Berklee. Two of the best musicians I ever met transferred there for one semester and immediately transferred back. They said most people aren't serious, and the instruction is narrowly focused on becoming some sort of real book jukebox. I think the only reason you should go to berklee is if 1) you can afford it and 2) you really want to be some sort of Adam Neely character hustling random gigs in NYC.
The best way to get some academic knowledge of music IMO is to minor in music theory and get a different major. You aren't going to learn much beyond becoming a jazz autist from college guitar programs.
Better yet just read some fucking books and save your money.
Luis Williams
If you actually want to be successful the only two things you need to learn are how to sing and how to write a hook.
Nathan Murphy
if you want to be successful, don't, the next communist revolution will tear you from all your profits and string you up for composing part of the upper class while not producing anything useful, or even any authentic culture
Ryder Miller
Yes
Aaron Taylor
The thing about Berkelee is if you don’t find your connections by graduation you’re going to black listed from the pro scene unless you teach music at a high school. Watch some Adam Neely videos, he explains Berklee funk. There’s no secret to music. All the info is out there for free. Having a teacher is awesome but why would you pay college prices when a one on one teacher is cheaper?
Charles Wright
Why do people don't recommend squier affinity series? what's wrong with them? like seriously not just say it's trash. I wanna learn guitar and the affinity series are affordable.
you pay the price of a lightly used decent guitar for a guitar with five uneven frets and a neck that bows one way or another whenever you breathe near it. the pickups are made of harbor freight stock wire and fridge magnets and it makes a lot of noise when you're not touching it.
cheaper guitars like that are intended for parents with a teenager who wants a guitar, but probably won't stick with it.
Thomas James
>frets more or less uneven depending on which string you're playing >tuners with variable resistance and ability to stay in tune >poorly cut nut snags strings >bridge breaks them >noisy electronics >shielding paint smeared onto the pickup cavities, sorta >scrap wood construction
if you got a squier bullet it would be the same quality but $100 cheaper

At least I do. Some say that his music doesn't have emotion but that couldn't be further from the truth it's just that all emotions aren't sweet and comforting. He does have those songs too though. I guess outsider art is a pretty tough concept for most people.
Should I pick every note like Steve Morris or is it ok to use hammer ons and pull offs?
Aiden Russell
Use syncopation and play with where you put accents. Leave some space here and there.
Lincoln Watson
both

Why do so many guitar faggots have a juvenile sexual fixation. I'm sex obsessed myself, but I would never release products like this or the Friedman BROWN EYE overdrive or the PINK TACO or whatever. That's just pure sleaze.

>Gibson used four different machines to wind vintage P.A.F. pickups. Two of the four machines lacked auto stop mechanisms resulting in variation in turns for each of the bobbins that make up the P.A.F. pickup assembly. The resulting inconsistency in turn count led to variation in the output and tone. For the same reason, the two coils within each pickup unit usually have a slightly different number of turns, which affects the treble overtones of the assembled pickup. >Original P.A.F. magnets were charged in groups. This process yielded magnets that were not fully charged to saturation. Vintage P.A.F. and P-90 magnets therefore can lose some charge over time, which affects the tone of the pickup. (P-90's in particular are more prone to this effect.)
I havebeen playing on a rogue starter 45 dollar acoustic guitar for the last 2 and a half years because there is one at the reception desk at the rehab I work at. I haven't played my electric guitars in longer than that because electric is such a hassle to set up.
yes. why do you think some vintage gibsons have appreciated massively while others are only starting to approach their MSRP again based on historical value alone?
they've even used plywood at some point and today, they use more obvious multi-piece bodies
Levi Roberts
It's true though. I put .14s on it once and the action that is already extremely bad became horrific because it was funny to have the patients attempt to play it and not be able to do anything. I love that shitbox.
It's not mine. I do get more points for having overdeveloped my finger strength though. You for instance couldn't play it. But now when I went to guitar center their tinny .9s make me overbend and lose grip on strings a lot.
