>Boris dabs on everyone with Orange gear and a literal First Act guitar/bass combo
How the fuck do they do it?
>How the fuck do they do it?
It's the power of Orange Amps
what cable should i get, this ones falling apart
im thinking about getting one of the fancy curly ones
Thoughts on John Sykes?
the amp is like 90% of the sound, the guitar barely matters
The First Act custom shop was fucking amazing though.
Idk but dint buy fender cables theyre shit, i got a free n-name cable when i got my second guitar and its superior to the fender cable in many ways
is that still around? whatever happend with it?
guitar? really easy instrument to play.
Did somebody say Orange Amps?
Zoomers don't know about Ty Tabor and King's X
peavey classic 50 2x12 or
ampeg gvt52 2x12
For me, it's Gary Moore
Absolute monster. Totally underrated. Zakk Wylde is a poor man's Sykes
>gibson
he must be shit
What's your aversion to Gibson?
what a chad
Bass guitars are for faggots
gay
All the best players are using Gibson
What? I play one
i believe it
What's a comfy gig bag?
MONO
Is that supposed to be a les paul?
Kek what a shit drawing. For one loom at that pickguard lol
why am i so lonely and depressed
Gary Moore looks like the mix of Ace Frehley and Fofão
Funny
>baritone guitars are lower than regular guitars
>regular guitars start on E2
Trained tenors can sing E2 so maybe a baritone guitar should go down to B2?
And if baritone guitars are actually baritone, then why a guitar higher than regular guitar is called tenor and not contralto?
Loomed. It's a Gretsch, retard.
Shane sings 5 octaves on the piano
a comfy one is best
you are not supposed to sleep in the gig bag. its for your guitar
First act, at one time, had a world class custom shop. Those guitar/basses came out of that shop.
>muh blues scale
LMAO
No. They fucked themselves by marketing to kids in walmart. No one took them seriously and they couldn't sustain it.
i would never put anything more than shitty chinese guitar in a soft gig bag. hard case every time regardless of reason why the axe leaves the house
regardless, they sell bags for humans to sleep in. theyre much more comfortable. theyre called sleeping bags
A gig bag would suit you well it seems
Is there a way to pirate rocksmith and be able to dl the DLC?
yeah its pretty easy
search on thepiratebay theres a version with the dlc included
for the stuff thats not included in that , this guy
ibeholder2.blogspot.com
posts all the dlc packs too
you just drop the files in the dlc folder
That may be true but there are many talented faggots.
You are a gig bag user, a cheap vinyl one from china with a broken ass zip
Good for him!
Try to tell that to my cat!
No, u
LOL
brazilian gig bags are even worse. they are just garbage button-ups. cheap ass junk
How the hell do some guys pick so fast? How do I do it?
>Acoustic fret buzz help
I’m getting fret buzz only on low e string when fretting 3. The buzz itself is coming from the second fret, I can tell as if I fret both two and three at the same time it completely stops.
What might be causing this? I think adding relief to the truss rod might help but it’s a pain as no other strings have issues.
If you mean flat picking that’s not my forte. Fingerstyle, I got fast by focusing on one pattern until I got good. Fast fingerpicking is kind of my schtick now.
>What might be causing this?
neck could be warped if this is a new occurrence on an old guitar
Practice
It buzzes on the part of the string that isn't vibrating a note? Could be the nut
Brazilian gig bags are awesome I bought one from my luthier's brand
Shit. It started after the guitar slipped when propped up against a table and landed on the neck. I just don’t know why nothing else is affected, even on the same string literally every other fret is perfect and intonation great.
Do you think it's better to learn by trying to figure out songs by ear or buying some TrueFire lessons?
>fret buzz issue
I tried tuning E up to F and the buzz moved up a fret, now only occurs when fretting 4 although not quite as bad. Does this shed anymore light?
Hey lads.
Is a Youcisian sub recommended? I need some structure/routine in my practice
Play with the truss rod
Yeah, not much else I can do I guess. I’m going to go with tighten rather than relief as when tuned down to D it’s worse.
WHY THE HELL YOU DON'T LINK THE OLD THREAD REEEEE
YOU'RE SO FUCKING LAZY
IT'S NOT THAT HARD
What's the logic?
Lmao that's not even the last thread dumbfuck
Please don't bully my friend
don't know what that thing is but learning music by ear is always good exercise
Why do you not make jcum's pics as low quality and low size?
If you ain't rockin a fitted hard case I ain't fuckin with your broke ass
shame
¿Donde esta mi papa?
Yes it is
youtube.com
Put this in the OP from now on
Whoa it's a selective kind of homo
No, put this:
youtu.be
"no"
>What's the logic?
Bit of a coin toss to be honest, it could go either way. Action quite high by choice so can take a bit tightening.
I texted my guitar tech/luthier and got this mad rambling bullshit back about the sky, guy is a genius but unfortunately also completely insane. It didn’t land on the string side btw.
the fuck lmao
...
rec me mini amp, it's a gift for a friend
I know. It’s a shame but it’s also kinda funny sometimes, the guy has had a difficult life and he latched onto all this conspiracy stuff. Used to be some kind of specialist electrical engineer before becoming a luthier.
Then why did you decide for one side instead of trying both
He said something worth considering, string or saddle might have got bent when it feel to the ground. That would explain the buzz moving when you tune up
The luthier is not wrong tho
Nah he's just redpilled, no wonder he's smart
¿Donde esta mi papi?
>trying both
I read you’re supposed to let it settle overnight whenever adjusting truss rod on acoustic and to only ever do small adjustments at a time.
I’ll try changing the string, no harm in that, the fact that it moves up with the fret is the weird part.
lmao sam i think a special someone wants your attention
Hey /gg/, let's post about music
Share some cool licks for people here to learn
/gg/ stands and has always stood for gear general, if you want to post about your shitty playing then go start your own thread and get 20 replies. this general is for shitposting
Bullshit
This is a fun & shitposting general. If you want to learn go to YouTube
Why you fa/gg/ots gotta be like this
It used to be fun and interactive here, shitposting isn't the only way to have a good time
youtube.com
for some reason my turbo retard ass can only play that opening riff if I start with an upwards pick stroke
>Fret buzz / redpill guitar tech
What do you know, he was right, new string fixed it. Thank fuck it was something cheap and easy.
yo straight up Scurrilous is one of my favorite albums, good post
But I've never learned anything from it, guess it's time
How do I learn guitar as quickly as possible in 1 month?
youtube.com
>tfw can't play this
you will be able to do basic open chord progressions and a couple simple riffs in only a month, even practicing half the day
>1 month
Man anyone who says disturbed is soi is just a pleb
Go listen to music and when you like a lick you learn it by yourself. You have at least one working ear, right?
Now go read about RAARP
You have to remember that string winds flatten as they make contact with frets repeatedly.
Dont laugh at me!
Is that your excuse for your pee pee being so thin?
Paid Skype lessons with ME
Aye I must have done something to flatten the string there, only had them on a week and a half too but been playing a lot in prep for a gig. My friend was also playing my guitar for a few hours, possible he had capo too tight (Shubb style).
Maybe it's because the string fucking fell against the ground you retard
Nice Try amigo
Reminding me that I suck ass at alternate picking anything fast and need to finally learn it after all these years lol
I've got the riff immediately playing legato but have to go slow as fuck to play it the right way
Need a new amp, $300 range, 40 watts
Marshall Code 50
It didn’t, the guitar landed on the underside of the neck (i.e. where your palm sits) as I explained. Whatever, it’s fixed, I’m happy.
Pignose
you, me, and everyone else
that I can only start up an up stroke is proof that my alternate picking sucks dick
youtube.com
bloodmeat is a lot of fun too - some neat tapping riffs
I still can't play that fast noodly bit toward the end and I suspect I will never be able to
Should I go through the trouble to learn the bass?
I'm 23 and I've never learned an instrument.
I've tried guitar but my hands were too autistic.
I want to at least be as skilled enough to gig, not be Victor Wooten or anything but enough to where people are like "Yeah he sounds great".
But what did you learn from it?
>I suck at alt picking so everybody does too
post yourself playing c'est la vie then you stinking piece of shit
sure not everyone, but we're talking about shred alternate picking, not just the regular shit. Never heard your bluesboy butt play anything shreddy
You want to just be able to gig or people to go "wow he sounds great"?
That's because I never wanted to
Is that some french pop from the 1800s? Lmao
While we're on the topic of Protest the Hero, here's Skies.
youtube.com
Not asking anyone to play it. I just really like the song and I think it's underappreciated by fans.
>That's because I never wanted to
>the newfag finally learned about images on an imageboard
IQ: sub 80. easily
Yes, playing fast just takes the discipline of daily, focused practice.
I once made a move into learning to shred and I learned to run diatonic scales with a mix of legato and picking, but didn't go past that because I didn't take the time.
Subtle pic
What did you say about me, little bitch?
Bass is easy to pick up and hard to master. Sounding good could be a matter of months/year though, so why not. Buy yourself a cheap squier or something.
>he can't afford a Gibson, the only guitar which is good enough, because he spent all of his money on a CB-6000
It's just as hard to master as guitar. You probably don't play bass as much.
Holy fuck why did you make me Google that disgusting shit
And the worst part is that you only know the name because you bought it yourself. That is a self quote.
I have one of those, are they alright?
>TFW your CB-6000 gives your Gibson dickrash
When/If I gig I just don't want to sound like garbage
Plastic ass interface lmfao
>t. boyfriend lost the key to his CB-6000
My behringer uphoria is all metal
>because i never wanted too
Lmfao you mean you cant.
What's wrong with plastic?

The seal and the sour watermelons?
Where's papi?
Taking care of his business. Thanks for asking. I guess ill should return the favor. Hows pops?
I refuse to believe sammy posts and gets bullied on /gg/ from 6am till 2am. No one is that pathetic it has to be a larp.
Dont deflect. How is your father doing?
Why did you delete this post? You scared or something lol.
You should see the fretwork on it, somehow it's even worse than what you'd normally expect from a soulless mass produced Fender cookie cutter guitar. There's an user who posts a close up of the frets in the fretbaord with gaps around the ends
Any tips?

Friendly reminder that you will be happier as a person if you get professional help for your mental health. You cant make it as a guitarist with mental disease. Ask Syd Barret
I've been posting for 4.5 hours now and only when jcum arrived I got banned. What a jealous faggot.
I start at 9am when I get to the shop and I end at 11pm. Retard you can't even tell good lies.
Hi ant
Im fairly certain it was you getting bullied last night jcope.
>You cant make it as a guitarist with mental disease.
Bullshit
He doesn't know it because **he wasn't here**
>1:04
it never gets old
don't be that way jroachy, you wanted an identity in /gg/ and you got the one you earned. it's too late to cry about it now
Play something.
The best part is he’s still too much of a bitch to post the backing track lmao
There’s a phrase that sounds like Misty but it’s not. Sounds pretty
HOLY FUCK THEY WON'T HAVE AÇAÍ BOWLS THIS ENTIRE WEEK
HOW AM I EVEN GONNA SURVIVE
>jpussy
Practice neosoul and then you can buy whatever you want
Post reference of neosoul
Anyway no other place sells these bowls
What's special at 1:04
Maybe I should brush my teeth
Look at the last thread. Was it a sam larper or you up till 2am?
lol classic
Link a post, because someone thought I was Sam last night.
Learn what timezones are. I'm not opening the thread, screenshot if you want me to see it.
FUCK! I was messing with my step dad's gear, recording some acoustic, I sent phantom power to his Royer r-121 to increase mids andd I heard a pop.
I didn't get it. Was the mic working without phantom power but it sounds better with it? Did you send phantom power to the guitar?
It's normal for mics to make a pop when you turn on phantom power.
Ask for advice and I will give it
Sounds really lovely. You should try and find bar work, that would go down well as background music in a cocktail place or something.
My Zoom H2N is fucked right now. Here’s the last song I recorded before it died.
>thinkging /gg/ is technically informed enough to take this bait
*tisk*tisk*tisk*
No, i just looked it up, i guess phantom destroys ribbon mics. It was a $1500 mic. My friend told me phantom helps the mids but hes a retard aparently!
Start arp with up pick? Pls respond..
All this fucking gear...tons of amps, guitars, pedals etc...
Yet nothing beats the tone of a Les Paul through a cranked Marshall.
>learn what timezones are
Now i am laffin
tons of shit beats that, gramps.
How much kaka should i put in papa?
A dean through a marshall sounds better. Fender through marshall is second best. Prs third.
for me it's an ESP Snapper and a hughes and kettner triamp turned halfway up with a seymour duncan 805 OD in front.
My sweetwater rep cslled me yesterday to ask about my monitors. I told him to email me when he has the new dk24 hh charvels in. Im excited boys. But honestly the neck wasnt mind blowing. Prefer my dean modern c
awww look everybody he wants attention
Sounds classy. It's nice to see young folks can still have taste without being brandwhores for old standards.
Cope
lol look everybody he wants to give (you)s now. lets see how many he's willing to give out
Lol
Depends on the arpeggio
A Condor through an Alien sounds better imo
>Look everybody!
>He wants attention
Lol go read Freud
Condor: At Least We Aren’t Dean!
>He couldn't afford an ESP, the only guitar that's more than good enough, because he spent all his money on interior design magazines
Fuck off, NSA bot
I'm getting this one
Is this an enigma
Lmfao you can’t help yourself you just have to reply every time
>he gets a cheaper solid color one like that fag who was holding out for an "E-II with a really nice flamed top"
>what a fool! he keeps talking to me, the unworthiest scum of the scum!
>3 piece guitar
I'm putting something together right now.
I've only got about 8 pieces in my "Cocktail" music repertoire and even then it's not memorized so I'll be reading the music as I play to remind me where to go. Wedding ceremony repertoire is all I have converted to memory, that's only about 10 songs and of those only 5 or so get used at a time.
Currently working on Tommy Emmanuel's Blue Moon arrangement, probably be the only one from him I play unless something else speaks to me.
Have any other music to suggest, that comes in a collection preferably($), that's similar in nature?
Just like your average gibson lol
And remember when PRS relesaed a line of 2 piece guitars and boomers lapped it up?
Better than 3 piece neck. But don't tell Jcum
And who am I? Lmao
Eucalyptus is full of pitch
Except 1/3 of a Gibson isn’t made out of plastic lmfao
>been playing bass for a year
HOW DO I GET GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE MONEY? IM SO FUCKING DESPERATE> PLEASE SOMEONE HELP. IF I DONT BECOME AMUSICIAN I WILL GENUINELY STARVE IN STREET.
>they fight, they bite
>they bite and fight and bite
>fight fight fight, bite bite bite
>the sam & jcum show!
Learning geetar and slowly getting better. All I want to do is practice. Everything else is secondary and a waste of time.
Im sorry that i dont support 7-11 piece necks.
3 piece neck thru is best construction prove me wrong dumbass. You cant.
Sorry man, I pretty much only do my singer-songwriter stuff and folk covers, not too sure.
Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring comes in mind for weddings. Leo Kottke does a lovely version.
I'm holding out for this one. I dgaf if you guys hate PRS
Good job incel.
Does being able to play and sing make me smart?
No.
Yeah it's just the fretboard because you can't afford an all-plastic guitar
A quality 3 piece neck sustains better and has more tone than a traditional one piece neck. Acoustic builders have known this for ages and multi-piece necks with reinforcing strips are pretty normal on high end acoustics.
However, it's not a magic bullet. An example can be found in cheaper korean guitars. They have 3 piece necks, but they're made of scrap maple so they're no better than a decent one piece. It's just the only way they could get a stable neck out of literal scrap wood and blanks rejected for use for one piece necks.
I like it but i dont agree with the toggle position.
nothing says "i wish i was a cute japanese girl" like a pink PRS
you make clownburst les paul fanboys look like they're secure in their gender
Your mim Strat isn't a neck through, jcum.
I wish I could keep that way
Good thing my dean is mahogany
You're quite the comedian. Do you even play or just troll?
pink gang
No shit dumbass i dont have a neck through. My dean custom 550 is neck through. My mia stratocaster is bolt on and my dean thoroughbred deluxe is 3e piece mahogany set neck.
It’s not. Also, thanks for showing us how crooked the fret markers are again HAHAHAHAHAHAH
I play Rick Foster's arrangement of it on loop at the beginning of Wedding Ceremonies.
youtube.com
Not worried about Wedding Repertoire simply because you don't typically need more than 5 songs for a ceremony.
Cringe
You mean a three piece scrap maple neck with a two piece mahogany body
No jcum, your dean custom 550 is a set neck with a carved heel.
I dont like it
>You mean a three piece scrap maple neck with a two piece mahogany body
What guitar do you mean
Google the specs dumbass
lmfao put me in the screenshot
Can you provide a sound sample of each one is them? I'm legit interested, especially the one with the Floyd Rose.
Nice projection.
Soon i just need to buy a mic now.
>a set neck with a carved heel
the shittiest neck set of all
It's better than a regular set neck with a blocky heel from hell though
T. Muh vintage spex
Lmfao you’re going to try to mic your jcm
i even told him i was about to milk him for (you)s and he still took the bait
Flying V edition
Do you have an interface? A direct recording of the guitar into the interface is ok.
Yes and my joyo.
El Bar seenson strikes again.
Yes i do. But its on my pc. Im on my phone currently.
Hmm I wonder why these frets need so much glue?
This is gonna be fun, I can't wait for him to buy a mic

What's your computer, mate?
How do you guys visualize the fretboard?
>maybe if I have an amp loud enough, my papa will hear me and come back
As a woman I’m grabbing by the neck
Yes i am a massive breeder. Ask your mom.
With the eyes
Do you guys have any Solo Jazz Guitar arrangements of pieces you like?
Material similar to this:
youtube.com
Or like this guys arrangements:
youtube.com
(preferrably fingerstyle arrangments, never was impressed with plectrum derived solo Jazz arrangements, Chord/melody, since the voice leading doesn't exist properly due to a picks limitations)
This would only effect someone that isn’t secure about their parents aka like someone who’s father/mother is not around.
I have perfect pitch so I already know what the note will sound like

Anyone have a Bogner Helios? What do you think of this tone?
Bogner is good.
thoughts?
Is English hard when you get angry, mijo?
Is this the only okay looking prs guitar ever created?
I wonder why he thinks it is effective.
Light strings sound really bad on single coil guitars anyway. Stringing them with 9-42 from the factory is a joke. They need 11s at least.
>kid stickers inside his computer
>kid dinosaur toys inside his computer
LMAO
The headstock is a deal breaker isn't it. These guys make decent effects. Not sure about their guitars
Isn't looking at the fretboard bad?
Kiesel, ESP, and Schecter do it better
Suhr just gives a signature guitar to anyone who asks so they're a meme brand
>xyz plays one they must be good
What he said has nothing to do with the tone and pickups, retard. And 9s help Teles get quacky.
>dirt caked up on the case
Allen Hinds plays one. He's pretty good
Had a good reception. Are you going for vintage to mid gain sounds?
I don't enjoy this tone. Is that what boomers talk about when they say tube amps? Sounds like a modelling amp to me.
My bad i should have put adult stickers and adult dinosaur toys.
>What he said has nothing to do with the tone and pickups
I know
Its not dirt its kaka
That’s not a suhr stupid bitch
I agree. It sounds like shit
Oh.
They did a really good job ripping off people who already made rip offs.
Omg not a single post is serious
This is the worst general on the entire website
sounds bad
Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy
There's only one original strat.
It's not the best guitar on earth but hell if people don't love making direct rip offs of it with no changes or improvements
youtube.com
Where is David Russell looking?
The myth of looking at the Fretboard being bad arose because impatient students wouldn't stop to look up at the music. We(classical players) almost always look at the fretboard while playing unless there's music in front of us.
Why would it be bad to look at the fretboard if there's nothing else that required our attention?
Shuttup bitch. Im serious
Give help
It's true. Not one of my genuine questions were answered seriously. It feels like there's a handful of bored trouble makers attempting to sabotage the board and diminish its quality.
Hi
me too
A strat is a thousand years old instrument with a magnet and wires
This is bait. Classical players can't play without looking at the sheet.
Why you can't figure it by ear?
What are your questions
We memorize pieces when we recite them. We're not looking at sheet music while performing.
Figure what out by ear?
It was a broad question, the specific example I gave is material I've already learned.
Is it that hard to find music that you'd like to learn?
Buddy, get a Music Man. They are the best bang for your buck, all American make guitar. Very underrated.
Buy G&L
It's difficult to find arrangements or pieces that meet my unreasonably high standards(admitted).
I like maybe 5% of all arrangements done for the guitar meet what I'm looking for. Usually the kicker is how closely related the arrangement is to the original work.
I need to just do my own, but that required motivation.
Oh god, that headstock is even worse. I think the other guy is right. It has to say Fender on the headstock
PRS gigbags are comfy get one used at flea bay.
Or Condor
When was this lol
Cant disagree
For me it’s the suhr hybrid headstock

Alternate picking, metronomes, 3 note per string scale patterns across the neck, legato exercises.
Practice practice practice, I spent the last year neglecting this side of things and regret it.
Part of me reverts to my old school positions, but I’ve began relying on intervals more, viewing the neck as a more horizontally structured instrument, finding it hard tho, singing intervals as I play scale exercises helps
