Strange, I don't see anything in this about fingering your own ass.

The newer ones are really nice. In 2015 they overhauled the entire Japanese line so you have a lot more options now. Basically from my research 50s stuff will have maple fingerboards and the 60s will be all rosewood. So that basically comes down to your preference. They have a 'traditional' and 'hybrid' line, just compare them to see what you prefer, I like the hybrids since the frets are a bit bigger and the Strat has the 2 point bridge. Overall regardless the specs are more 'vintage' so the necks are bigger and the electronics are more vintage spec regardless of model. Recently this year they launched the 'modern' line (pic related) that has some nice binding and hardware and they have the same neck shape as the American ones (deep C profile).

I'd try Ishibashi, just contact them with what model you're looking for and they can almost always find it. Rosewood can ship in November, so you might have to wait a couple months but the law changed.. or you can go for a maple board. eBay is a hit or miss, usually the price is jacked up a lot there. Reverb has a couple sellers as well, TC Gakki is another one and they also speak English. I contacted them not long ago and they said they have a shipment coming in December, the modern literally just came out.

That's just trachefag. But he's already in hell, he's just too brain-damaged to realize it.

Doesn't matter, it's the same hell on earth in the end. With Jcope it's just sloth or envy instead of gluttony. Even the brain-damage is consistent. Prolonged drug use instead of oxygen depravation, the results are interchangeable.

I bought a jaguar and when I do bends above the 15th fret the fucking strings hop out of the bridge. Also, when you strum it agressivley or pluck a note hard, there's this awful noise coming from the strings between the bridge and the tailpiece, like if you actually struck them.


Jaguar players, do you have this problem?

And he spoilt the fun for him. Taking sandpaper to it is like opening presents a week before christmas.

That's why they like each other so much, they can "see" their common failures in one another. Which for normal people would be repulsive but not for them. Their diminished intellectual capacities prevents that type of conscious self-awareness and thus their connection is subconscious and remote in nature. In other words they don't understand it themselves, for them it just "is". Think of a goldfish in a tank. He doesn't understand or comprehend the glass, it just "is". Same thing. As sad and unfortunate as that is for both of them.

Look like cheap chinaman stuff, only seen pots like those in knockoffs.

More or less. You can drive an animal with stimuli, a conscious being should be able to resist. Self-control, etc. You don't have to take my word for it though, I invite you to test it for yourself. Design an experiment and watch how they react, you'll come away with the same conclusions in the end. If nothing else it'll be entertaining.

Because they think there's embedded magic into the pickups to get crystal clear highs and embodied lows and mids. Fun fact: you can roll your own and make money with boutique pickups. Nothing theoretical (magnetic permeability, impedance, inductance) matters

Oil the strings

there's a reason why they were considered shit guitars back in the 70s and 80s when you could pick them up cheap in pawn shops. then all the indie bands picked them up because they were poor and needed gear for all their weird tunings and they went back up in price again.

looks like something a metal kid would own

it's the most important pedal I use. Keeley Compressor plus is just perfect. Fairly affordable, you can adjust how much compression do you need and add or cut some high. You can also use it as a booster. You should try it.

what does a compressor do

how thin is too thin

what is that

squares of what? like a math delay pedal?
no bully

the lowest and the highest level of sound. basically a compressor will boost the lowest volume of your guitar (that's why you can get a longer sustain) while taming the highest level.

so its like a volume knob? who would need that?

to be more precise it's like an auto-gain. it's SO useful if you play funk.

i play shoegaze and indirock

i suggest you should try it by yourself rather than watch demos. go to your local guitar store, ask for keeley compressor plus (it's the most simple comp pedal for any guitarist), and try it. there are many examples of comp pedal in many records, especially funk, but here's one of the obvious easy example of comp pedal in a normal situation.

>Keeley
I was actually looking at Keely.
Wanted something more than Boss

ok

and this. i believe kevin used two pedals in series. it sounds pleasantly overcompressed.

compressor plus if you want something simple. you don't need to fiddle around with the attack and release time.
cali76 or unit67 if you want to be fancier. you could get some nice harmonic distortion with them.

Got any pics?

99%+ of guitarists don't even know how to construct a major scale on any degree from anywhere on the fretboard.

And if I were to ask that same population to make a 4 chord based on a certain key, they wouldn't be able to or know which note of the scale they are playing on each string.

That's so sad.

It blows my mind how many guitarists learn without learning such foundational stuff first.

And it's not fucking hard. Just learn half steps and whole steps and what that jump is across strings. Boom. Now you can do it.

Guitar and music education is so bad, it's ridiculous.

Get back to your foundations, all.

What’s the best place to learn this stuff?

No one asked you shit, Jimmy.

Improvise for Real is a good book to learn this stuff. It really applies to any instrument.

It's basically a learn music by playing music/ear training approach.

It's nice because it starts you off at the very basics and builds from that.

It's easy to build scales and chords from anywhere when you know how music works in the first place.

Sounds like faggy European talk to me

Do whatever you want.

Just trying to help out so you guys don't sound like every other generic guitarist who uses pentatonic boxes/CAGED/3NPS.

Me? I just play the notes I hear in my head.

Trust me, you wouldn't understand.

Guthrie is a CAGEDcuck.
He doesn't play by ear.

I'd say that's why I'm better than him but I'm just better than him in general. I can't help the fact that I'm a badass.

Looking for advice on what to offer for this amp. Obviously a steal at the listed price, but I want to push the seller a bit. Don't want to lowball him / offend him.

Why would i sell my amp?

you probably pawn all kinds of shit in the ghetto

Guitar is a folk instrument. It never fit into that system due to its 5ths and a minor 3rd tuning. It's awkward, intuitive, and demands a lot of work or a very high IQ ala Holdsworth.

Learning the same shit on a piano is childs play.

Or, take your guitar, and tune it to 4ths. Now it's easy to learn theory.

*unintuitive

Seriously, why do you think every other string instrument player uses an even tuning and four strings?

Guitar is set up so it's biased towards just memorizing chord and scale shapes instead of playing music classically. Guitar is a creative instrument with no mind payed to the world of classical reproduction - performing a piece with other people having never heard it or practiced with them before.

I can just see him standing on his little tippy toes to see out the peephole in the door

Guitars are tuned to 4ths though.

why is saechi too good for a regular strat? leo got it right the first fuckin' time and SRV sure as hell didn't have a problem with it!

Guitar thinking fucked me up

>5 frets
>4th

Guitar thinking is a cancer, I'm going to go tune my guitar like an extended range mandolin and stop playing rock/folk covers.

Boring sunday night?

>better tone for rock
>more range
>less noise
>more tuning stability

Because a regular strat is too bad.

I'm not God, it's not my fault jcope is a manlet

Cheer up buttercup you’ll get a growth spurt one day

Youth is thinking the newest guitars are the best and ogling spec sheets and fret counts
Adolescence is thinking vintage guitars are better and ranting about tone and soul
Adulthood is realizing guitars are just fashion accessories and tone comes from your fingers and amp
Old age is realizing tubes were a waste of money after the late 2000s
Death is regretting not playing a Gibson, the only guitar that is good enough.

I don't understand your problem.

>not a PRS or les paul

confirmed lesbo

you mean compression effects, like the one built into your axe FX?

they're very useful for making pinch harmonics and tapping more audible with clean tones, and evening out the volume between violent strumming and fast melodic playing with a lighter touch. i wouldn't be able to play neosoul without it.

i don't know what a compressor pedal is though. is that like, you set your compression level to the expression pedal? how? why?

It's the exact same thing, but in a pedal

huh????

I’m getting fret buzz only on the low E string when I do a g chord. It’s not coming from forward of the frets as if the action was too low but actually fucking behind it. The fret itself isn’t worn.

wat do. Not convinced truss rod adjustment will fix it (acoustic). I think it’s because I dropped the other night guitar and it landed on the neck. :(

By that I mean I’m pretty sure it is buzzing off the second fret when I am fretting the third.

CLAIRO THREAD WHEN?

Nah, just cropped it cause empty space in the pic

This is probably a series of common questions, but if I want to learn guitar - what guitar should I get?

In terms of music that I like, I like rock but I've also been enjoying a lot more folk and classical pieces lately - so I'm not sure with respect to electric vs acoustic.

Does it make sense to go for a new or a used instrument?

be gentle (*^_^*)

>custom
Fake news

Tuned it down and it stopped, tuned it up and it got worse.

Loosen truss rod maybe?

I have my biggest gig to dare on Thursday, this is such a fucking pain in the arse.

Get a steel string acoustic. It’s not ideal for classical but it will serve you well for folk and rock. If you plan on singing you definitely don’t want to start with an electric, I am a singer songwriter and I barely ever pick up my Strat.

Asian Electrics and spanish-style acoustics are lead/solo instruments. They're wider, flatter, and sound good with lighter strings, so it's easier to play complex music.

American style steel string guitars and traditional fender/gibson electrics are rhythm instruments. They have small changes that make playing lots of chords and bass string riffs easy, but lead playing and fingerpicking harder.

Sorry, pretty scrapped it all when I decided to quit on it. But it essentially looked like yours except taller (planned a floyd conversion) and integrated the block into the piece. Would be interested in milling one if you share your plans though

now make one to fit a floyd rose route

>he bought an anime guitar instead of a real M-II

In ten years, M-IIs will still be great guitars
In ten years, bang dream's servers will have been shut down for almost a decade and the amount of people remembering roselia then will be the number of people remembering girl's dead monster today. And you'll have an LTD M-II knockoff that says "roselia" on it.

It's an above average video game tied in with some fake/lame idol concerts and a long running series of CGI advertisements that is supposedly an anime.

For reference, K-On was a genuine cult classic and 10 years later people are already forgetting about it and 4/5 fans are secondaries who only know the memes. Love Live was supposedly the next idolm@ster and it's already fucking dead in the west and on the fast track to irrelevance in its home country. Bang Dream isn't going to last. In ten years you won't remember who your favorite girl was.

guitars are one of those things where you get what you pay for but almost anything is at least good enough and at a layman's level it's 99% person 1% equipment

they're a lot like cars in that way

Why not just buy used for half the price?

someone fapped on it before

maybe he has a fetish for losing hundreds of dollars on the privilege of not even being the first person to play a guitar (it was fingerfucked by setup techs before it ever left the factory)

fyi semen makes any guitar finish slicker and better to play on

i've been jacking off and giving gibson necks a good rub for years and everyone thinks i refinished the guitar when they try it but little do they know it's the original finish with a little tone jizz worked in

does it work with fender polyester finish? i'd do it to my mim strat

ANY guitar finish

all you need is a handful of jizz. the natural proteins practically give new life to your guitar.

and if you don't like the result you can always sell it.

Why do you need so and so guitar to play so and so genre
Why do you need to care about what's iconic or traditional
Why do you need to be like someone before you when you aren't even related to them
Why do you need a "tone" like someone else
Why do you need to play so and so genre that was played out before you were born
Why do you need to tune to EADGBE and strum the same chords as everyone else
Why do you learn shapes instead of intervals
Why don't you do something interesting with guitar

because you need an interesting guitar to do that and i can't afford one ;_;
