It's a classical user. Theyre nylon. Classical is ez mode guitar with strings that feel as light and fast as .9s. You can play at least 25% faster on one than a steel string.

It's best to have an expensive guitar and a cheap amp if you play for yourself, and a cheap guitar and an expensive amp if you play for other people
>inb4 poor If a bedroom warrior doesn't buy a nice amp that's one more vintage twin reverb for the real guitarists
If a gigging pro has a cheap guitar he can feel better about doing guitar spins. Save the nice les paul for the studio, smash the strat.

Hey /gg/. Playing guitar (and just guitar in general) is for losers now. If you play guitar or collect them then you're a loser. Sorry to have to tell you guys this. Only old out of touch dudes who don't have a clue bother with it anymore. Guitar is so 20th century. Get with the times grandpa. Anyway bye
Lincoln Cox
you ok there bud? who are you talking to?
Jose Russell
I live somewhere where the closest music store is a few hours drive. I have to resort to online shopping.
I borrowed teacher's Yamaha Pacifica although I have more experience with Spanish guitar. I am interested in getting my own electric guitar, however.
Since I can't go try things out, any suggested brands? Brands to avoid? My budget is 76.000ISK, roughly 600USD.
I kind of enjoy the pleasure of Pacifica shape but it's the only feel I know. Stratocaster looks similar. I wonder about Telecaster as well.
>Still crying about someone calling his ugly ass guitar ugly

all that makes sound on an electric guitar is strings and pickups
all that shapes the sound are electronics with slight contribution from the nut, frets, and bridge
electric guitar is a pleb instrument and any monkey can make a good one

lol you can't tell a retarded poorfag anything user. if they weren't fucking retarded they wouldn't be poor and trying to convince themselves their chink shitplank was a decent guitar now would they hmmmm?
Levi Martin
No, I guess you're right. What was I thinking trying to argue with a smoothbrain
If you liked that pacifica I'd advise you to get one of those in the 600eur range, they have different shapes, I know some profesionals that play them, they are really nice for that price. If not, maybe a mim fender, alltough I don't know how available are they in Iceland
Justin Parker
>I know some profesionals (sic) that play them lol you really don't though
He does sometimes, I've been to a lot of his gigs.
Jason Butler
>He does sometimes very much doubt it. but you're too fucking stupid to spell "professionals" though so who in their right mid would take advice from such a retard? tell me smart man, what brand of guitar is he playing in that video?
Brody Lewis
sorry for this post but im an absolute beginner to guitar, i was wondering about why my alternate picking isn't smooth? like my upstrokes feel like they catch on the strings to much so I can't strum all 4-6 strings smoothly, its feels kinda like the string is stopping me. Am I not picking hard enough? i dont want to break the string
Justin Ortiz
maybe try thinner picks?
Liam Howard
maybe your picking hand is too stiff
Jayden Myers
shit bait fuck off
Jackson Bell
im using a medium gauge pick, i do have thinner though, but most people say to start on medium i was thinking that too, it probably doesnt help that im holding the pick with an iron grip but i feel like if i hold it too loosely it'll fly out of my fingers
Jayden Cox
Well I don't want to argue with you, you are clearly here just to start shit, no point in having any sort of discussion with someone with these intentions. He used a Pacifica at last years MareziJazz festival, we even talked about his guitar choice and he said he likes them. Also Moder is a summa cum laude Berkeley graduate, so he knows his stuff. The guy with the original question said he also somewhat likes Pacificas and thats why I included them in the answer. That will be my last post directed to you, someone who can't capitalise letters or spell the word "mind".
Robert Lewis
>muh anecdotal evidence lmao go eat shit retard he doesn't play a $200 pacifica. what DUMB FUCK you are. that's a valley arts guitar he's playing in the video you posted which retailed new for $2000+. you're trying to claim he steps down to a $200 dogshit pacifica which is bullshit. in other words you don't know shit about anything. if he does play a pacifica then he's playing a $2000 yamaha custom shop or a $2000 mike stern signature model you dumbass knownothing

What does the thread think about Rocksmith? I've been playing it a bit, but I'm unsure if it's working poorly for me or if I'm just lazy.
Woah, I have this guitar. I am based and animepilled now.

Is there any hope of achieving stuff like this if you didn't start at 6 and are an autodidact? I'm 3 years in and at my rate it feels like i won't be playing like this ever youtube.com/watch?v=miPjvM2zuPE
James Harris
>3 years in >still can't play basic bitch shit pic related is you playing music
yea i'm pretty bad particularly the percussion stuff keep messing up
Julian Flores
Is there any point at all in learning new scale shapes after learning the major scale over the neck and memorising the intervals? Instead of learning and practicing new scale shapes, wouldn't it make more sense to just memorise scale formulas? Like if you know the harmonic minor has a flat third and flat sixth, you could just flat the third and sixth when playing the major scale.
It seems to me that the only advatage in learning a new shape is that you can play it quickly or less awkwardly, but I figure if you practice the intervals enough you become used to it and 'organically' figure out shapes in your head, and it becomes just as quick, plus you develop a deeper understanding of how things fit together.
dw man, im 4 years in and still only know 3 chords
John Gutierrez
I'm pretty good but my crippling shyness results in me being utterly shit and unconfident when playing for a person. What do? Eventually I'd want to play for an audience
Camden Morales
Awesome. You'll fit right in here.
Landon Campbell
Since the last thread was a flop and I went to the trouble of tabbing it out.
You still have to teach it to your fingers. And you don't want to be thinking about some scale formula while you're playing, you ideally just want to think a sound and produce it on your instrument.
Robert Collins
Get to my level bitch
I don't have gender dysphoria
Arpeggios aren't chords, you are wrong
Practice more.
Same. I can get over it if I turn on my arrogant shell but I'm too insecure to do it often
I feel like rocksmith has ruined my guitar playing. For the first year, I did justinguitar on an acoustic and actually learned music. The past year or more I've just been playing rocksmith with my GF. It's a ton of fun, we can play a lot on it and sound pretty awesome, but I also realise I don't actually know any of the songs. Like after 2+ years of guitar, if someone asked me to play a song for them I'd be a deer in the headlights. Not really sure how to start learning songs again, desu.
Elijah Perez

Imagine spending more than $500 on a fucking electric guitar because a solid block of wood totally sounds different than another solid block of wood just because of the logo on the headstock.
For the price of a les poo standturd you could get a half-decent REAL guitar, ie: a martin d-18

Nicholas Baker
I think the Peavey is meant to be some kind of Fender clone, just go on youtube and have a listen. Peavey seems to be cheap and good enough, from my experience.
I like the Orange sound, but if you don't mind spending some more and waiting for longer, order a Hovercraft amp. You can order the 20W Dwarvenaut model, or some higher wattage one, if you need it, and it's custom designed to your personal preferences.

i also sell my music and allow people to stream it. It's a passive way of making funds. i used to avoid streaming platforms but it's just more convenient spending $3/mo on a family plan with my friends.

Not the macaco and the amp sounds good but not the marshall tone i would want. Its missing some growl. Heres an in between one with more gain youtu.be/HxQkkhU69zI
I've had two classic 50s and they sound great, but they have some issues. They are a fixed bias amp, and they tend to blow tubes fairly often for some reason. However, every tube replacement I've done on one, it never seems to sit in the sweet spot for the amp and it seems it would be better to put a bias pot in it and set them all to about 30ma per tube. Also they are notorious for overheating. They are cooled by a 4 inch fan mounted to the inside of the chassis which does almost nothing. There is no ventilation. Another issue with them is that the reverb tank seems to go out. I've had two, and both tanks stopped working. If I was going to get a nice tube amp that does everything, get a 50w EVH 5150III. Most of the demos you'll see is all metal but honestly, it does everything very well and they comes stock with JJs. It's a great gigging amp.
Christopher Turner
Not a bad idea.
Jackson Foster
Sounds just like /gg/ lmao
Chase Sullivan
Isnt 30 cold?
Lucas Smith
It's a slightly shittier built (inside) Fender Hot Rod.
Kevin Cruz
i can just listen to kiss records.
Grayson White
Not on an amp like that, at least in my opinion. It would be cold for something like a Marshall or a Fender, but on amp where most tone comes from the preamp section you are better off biasing it on the colder side, at the very least just to extend tube life. For instance, the 5150s, be it EVH or Peavey come biased around 35ma per tube from the factory.
Sebastian Mitchell
Reminder that all tube amps are Fender copies
Michael Torres
what fender does a mesa copy
Kayden Nguyen
thanks for the info man! i honestly was very close to pulling the trigger on one. I'll have a look at the 5150 and fender hot rod.
Noah Evans
fwiw my dsl 50 is biased at 36mv. marshall recommends 45mv.
Yeah marshall cold biased some amps too to prolong tube life. 45 is hot. 40 is a good spot imo. But yeah i assume not all amps are the same. Does the peavey fry the tubes plates?
Adrian Lopez
Go up to 40 homie. Marshalls arent meant to be neutered.
Jose Morales
Is there a Saitama training parody image for guitar?
James Murphy
Go outside for at least 5 mins bro.
Austin Allen
I have a classic 50 right now that sounds great, but it has all of the issues I listed above. If you do look at the 5150III, they make two version of it now. The EL34 version and the 6L6 version. Personally I recommend the 6L6. The newer ones have dual centric knobs for volume and gain(channels 1 and 2 share EQ) which is a huge improvement. Glad I could help !
Dylan Kelly
the thing about the old dsl 50 and dsl 100 is that the tubes are directly mounted to the pcb. the heat would make it semi conductive and fry the board.
the old board i had had that happen to it and it would continuously blow the ht fuse. at the time i had the tubes biased at 40mv. the new board that's installed fixes the issue those old boards had but i'm just extra cautious with it. so that's why i have it at 36mv.

surely my skills will improve with another guitar. i was thinking of an acoustic, either steel or nylon but i'm not 100% sure. maybe take a different route for a change and get a bass instead
ok, try reverse searching it then faggot. its the only pic i have because i spend more time playing it than taking pics of it
