About three years to get better than 90% of the people in this general
Charles Powell
Your lifetime plus a little bit longer.

Started about a month ago, maybe 20 minutes 5 times a week practicing. Do I have autism? My chord changes have improved a lot but I still fumble when I go faster, and they still feel slow and inaccurate to play anything at a decent tempo. I guess I just need more time. When does it start to feel more automatic? Also what is a good way to learn note names of frets?
Jack Brooks
>Also what is a good way to learn note names of frets? Two easy ways to start:
1. Learn the names of the natural notes up and down each string 2. Learn the note names on the frets with dots
If you do both, you'll only have tiny gaps in your knowledge that you can easily fill.
Should I buy a vintage modified jazzmaster or a j mascis jazzmaster?
Thomas Roberts
Metallica were straight edge fags.
Adam Rodriguez
>duh you have to play it like this >no
Xavier Price
watch interviews he was clearly doped as fuck in one.
Blake Flores
We agreed on 16th notes before you started, remember?
Thomas Cruz
some were 16, some were slower some were faster. fuck off annoying faggot this is why you're friendless and spend friday night on 4channel
Ian Cruz
neither, dont fall for the romanĀ“s meme buy something else like a flying v soibois fear the v
Adam Wood
J mascis is the better of the two. That's not to say the vintage modified is bad, but it's better getting a classic vibe than the vintage modified. All the issues with vintage modified are addressed with the classic vibe. Better pickups, better nut, mustang bridge. the only thing to be aware of on the classic vibe jm is that it has narrow tall frets.
Asher Martinez
No you are the annoying faggot not me I'm not an annoying faggot you are.
Adam Edwards
how long should you practice by yourself before trying to jam with strangers?
Ian Myers
25 years.
Carson Perez
Get a flying V
2 years of ear training and practice over backing tracks until you can play basic pentatonic blues
MIJ Fender Mustang '69 reissue (in candy apple red)
jazzmasters are for fags

>Also what is a good way to learn note names of frets? Learn the 5th and 6th string Then learn octave shapes congrats you know the whole fretboard

Just chip away at it every day. I play about an a hour a day. My biggest advice would be to play to a metronome, took me way too long to start doing that. There's a million ways to get better, just focus on what you enjoy doing and the kind of music you want to make
Jeremiah Stewart
Ahh yes the pentatonic minor scale. Now THAT'S the only scale you'll ever need. CRACK TSST glug glug glug

James Hetfield is a weeb hes said he becoems sad if he doesnt play guitar
Michael James
Jazzmaster guy (formerly Flying V guy) here
>Some guy asks if he should buy a Jazzmaster >Multiple people tell him to buy a Flying V >I asked if I should buy a Flying V >All of /gg/ said it was a bad guitar for a beginner >I got a Jazzmaster instead
WHAT THE HELL?
Asher Johnson
remember that user who said his azusa mustang was the best guitar he ever played and a cure for GAS?
Oh no, a musician derives happiness from playing music!
Jackson Walker
A lot of musicians get really depressed when they're not writing or performing, they feel useless
Parker Gonzalez
We trolled you lol
The flying V is the superior instrument by a large margin. Set neck, TOM+stoptail tone, comfy body shape for classical (the only good sitting position), looks cool as hell playing standing up, a classic rock icon, what more can you ask for?
Meanwhile a jazzmaster is a goofy looking 70s trinket with a tone-sucking tremolo and a crappy bolt on neck.
the video is demonstrating that he has great pitch who the fuck is claiming he doesn't
Bentley Richardson
Actually yes this is fucking funny. You came to us asking what to buy, an awesome guitar you dreamed of owning, or some cheap shit, so what else were we supposed to say?
"Yeah bro, get the guitar you'd love"
No, get one of fender's worst selling models, and get in in the unpopular authentic configuration when most people at least get one that's hardtail+HH.
next time someone asks if he should get a marshall head, let's tell him to get a mooer little tank
it has soooo many tones and it's good for beginners
Luis Thomas
it doesnt take singing to hear
Michael Adams
THIS ISN'T FUNNY AT ALL /gg/ WAS SWEARING UP AND DOWN THE FLYING V WAS TOO HARD FOR BEGINNERS SO I GOT A JAZZMASTER INSTEAD OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE GUITAR
I'M ABOUT TO HAVE A GODDAMN MELTDOWN HERE
ALL THE FUCKING GIBSON BABOONS IN THIS THREAD AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME TO GET A GIBSON FLYING V, AND NOW SOME DUDE POPS IN ASKING ABOUT JAZZMASTERS AND EVERYONE TELLS HIM TO GET A FLYING V
GODDAMN IT YOU GODDAMN BASTARDS AND FUCK YOU YOU LITTLE FUCKING WEABOO
FUCK YOU!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I WILL HAVE TO WAIT TO GET A FLYING V NOW?
Gavin James
I'm actually "a guitarist" in a famous band, not the most famous, but so famous I can't say who I am or even post a picture of one of my guitars (my entire collection is documented. that was a mistake.) without this thread turning into an unwanted Q&A and news of it reaching some music rag.
Kevin Richardson
ahaha yes of course thats why you spend your entire fuckin days here
Adam Green
>his instrument cost more than 50 dollars
Benjamin Bailey
>these clearly programmed wind instrumens on the intro holy fuck so cheeky youtu.be/dXl2exeH8tI
Asher Foster
I get paid to exist and do whatever stuff i want with the royalties and stuff
Gibsons are really good anyways and SGs and Vs aren't really that expensive so you should look into buying one
Josiah Jackson
Write a stoner rock song you dumb looking cocksucker
>he paid for an indonesian-made jackson/ESP knock-off endorsed by a third rate rhythm guitarist with a burp-themed youtube channel and didn't expect it to be soulless
I literally didn't hear about Ola until I noticed the brand and I don't give a shit about his music. I just liked the specs and I just wanted something plain-looking. Don't make me feel bad!!!
They do have a lot going for them, but the weakest point is definitely the pickups, and the aesthetics are very hit and miss, but if you don't have a V then who cares honestly.
Daniel Johnson
>tfw practiced for two hours and now i can't feel my fingers typing this sentence
feels good bro
Austin Perry
Christ, you could have got a used japanese ibanez for that much. less than that, even, if you bought an older model (ie: 90s) and there is literally nothing wrong with an older guitar if it's in good condition. Played in necks feel better, aged wood sounds better.
do you ever think ran sits alone in her room and thinks
>i'm glad i didn't buy a jazzmaster
John Ward
You know what? I'm just going to enjoy my Jazzmaster and know I can always get a Flying V later.
I also will never trust you dumb bastards again. Fuck all of you.

i had a jazzmaster once. i returned it after a couple weeks because it was terrible and bought my dream guitar, and now I couldn't be happier.
i don't really want any more guitars at this point except a good archtop acoustic and a copy of my dream guitar but with a fixed bridge so I can mess around with alternate tunings without having to re-adjust a floyd.
It's time to restring my Les Paul. So far I've used Earnie Ball and D'Addario strings. I'm thinking of trying Gibson strings for once. Would that be a waste of money? Anybody has had any experience with them?
I just bought a bass the other week so I'm fairly new to this, but my 1/4 jack only works when the cable is halfway plugged in. When it's fully plugged in it completely cuts out any output. Not sure if it's the cable or jack because I don't have anything to compare it with. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this?
No posts about his monitors, how did jcope fuck it up this time?
Owen Ramirez
Oh no a bass player. Everyone hide your talent to make him feel better
Oliver Martinez
Burn the bass and learn literally any other instrument
Grayson Parker

Jazzmaster: 25.5 inch scale; two huge, dark pickups. One big pickup selector switch. Jaguar: 24 inch scale; two tiny, super bright pickups. Two independent pickup switches, plus an extra mid cut switch. Original configuration Jag also had a flip-up mute near the bridge
Ian Ross
This is amazing.
Thomas Scott
>unironically liking anything with a lespaul body or scale length
Enjoy never having intonation on your low string.
Jordan Long
Im making mad money at work ive been wageslaving since 3am
Dylan Gutierrez
Yeah Iām sure x1.5 minimum wage is mad money lol
Mason Gonzalez
Honest question Does the EHX oceans 11 make the Holy grail obsolete or do both deserve to be on a board?
How can you seriously want to play an ugly piece of shit like the flying v
Caleb Johnson
throw in G, D and E and you'll be ready to play millions of songs
Eli Bell
>songs If you can call them that
Christian Edwards
>tfw you literally make crazy amounts of dough and could afford a gibson or even an ESP snapper but choose not to buy either because tone is in the fingers
your first language is some shitty subhuman dirt shit where you slur all your words together like you're a drunk fucking retard you shouldn't do that when speaking english because it makes me want to beat the fucking shit out of you
Yeah, PRS guitars are very cute and feminine looking so it's preferred for beautiful women to be seen with them instead of masculine, aggressive guitars with a dominant appearance like superstrats
For a Japanese maiden to be seen with a superstrat is like her wearing a sign that says "I don't want a boyfriend, I'd rather practice guitar"
sheet music was designed for 1d instruments and is awkward at best on a 2d string instrument if you tune in fourths and have little to no polyphony
there is no reason to read it instead of sheet music for rhythm and tabs for notes except music school elitism
>WELL IF YOU'RE GOING TO PLAY IN AN ORCHESTRA THIS IS WHAT WE USE, AND THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE ALWAYS USED, BETTER LEARN IT >guitarists playing in orchestras: There are no fretted instruments in an orchestra.
Jason Baker
i'm not lonely, i have qt cat that loves me. you are lonely.
>oned instruments
Henry Ward
Reminds me of some nip guitar girl stream a while back >She shows a new guitar which is some Japanese brand superstrat >Someone asks if she have a boyfriend >"Lmao if I have a boyfriend I won't get this guitar"
Leo Gonzalez
Sam if you posted nothing but your cat from now on I would be eternally thankful
So that green haired band chick with the blue ESP isn't free?
