That was great. Is Eric picking those runs? They sound so fluid
Michael Lewis
he over analyzes and repeats himself too much and the series is pretty cheesy, but the pick slanting stuff basically fixed my picking within a week of practicing it. i had the same problems he had with the string hopping thing, but i just never bothered practicing my picking enough to naturally develop a way of feeling my way through fast lines. im on a private tracker and have some of the premier stuff that you have to pay for, its not really worth it. its just clips of him playing lines at normal speed+slow mo, and there is an accompanied tab that shows what he's playing. don't bother, just understand what pick slanting is, pick a song with a fast line that you want to play, and figure out how to pick it
Josiah Sanders
yea eric picks almost everything, whenever you hear some jumpy ascending or descending line from him you can safely assume he's picking it all
I have a chord progression with some specific melody in it that makes it catchy to me. So I have jammed with it for a few days and now I no longer have any clue whether its an original song I am in the process of making, or if Im just reharmonising some track that already exists. Im not delusional about the importance of my shitty little songs, but I am so scared of being accused by some friend of plagiarising, that it gives me anxiety.
Are you like this? After messing around with a piece of music for a few days it just becomes impossible to tell how it took the final melodic shape, right?
Yeah that's why your camera makes photos so large! Because you're rich! You jumped the mexican wall and now you can act like a first worlder on the internet
Why is it that rosewood feels so much smoother to me when I'm bending compared to a satin maple fretboard?
People use the "muh fat fingers excuse" all the time but it really seems that no matter how I position them my fingerpads end up rubbing against the fretboard, and that's when the difference between maple and rosewood becomes apparent.

you might be pushing too hard or your fingers aren't calloused enough. Could also be that your maple fretboard is dried out so maybe put some conditioner on it

I can hold it, I'm just too tired to focus or imagine shit.
Brayden Scott
Hey anons, I bought a Rocksmith cable to just dick around with and try fifferent sounds with amp simulators, and whatnot. Can someone reccomend the best sim to just download, plug in and play in real time? Sorry for my autism, but I don't need an interface, right?
Most guitar shit is muscle memory desu, not much focus required unless you're working on timing or some other autistic shit
Camden Thomas
Don't you work in a fucking pet store? Or is this Jcum?

Yes but I have car noise from the street on my head all fuckin day, and dealing with people is stressful on top of my anxiety

can yu even play bass by yourself
Ethan White
ye u mad
Christian Scott
Great in Tygers of Pan Tang Great in Whitesnake Meh in Thin Lizzy Slightly above meh in Blue Murder Lost interest after that.
He was a metal player, in hard rock bands. I always wondered if he'd have done better if he'd jumped into thrash more. Great player, but he just never seemed to fit the bands he was in, after Whitesnake.
Seriously. If you're this big a pussy then you're never going to amount to anything in your life. It's just easier on you to end it now.

I’m pretty set on getting a tweed Fender clone, specifically a deluxe. Out of that with a Les Paul, do you think I’ll be able to get the woman tone with no pedals? Or does that require something like a bassman?
lol, thats actually pathetic. When I worked retail wagie jobs I used to deal with a line up a mile long on busy days.. 3 is literally nothing

I want a one of these but the newer body pretty badly
Grayson Bailey
Shut up.and stop crying
Jaxson Stewart
Anyone?...
Chase Martinez
I have: >Strat (Single Coils) >Les Paul (Humbuckers) >Standard Acoustic
That means that I still "need": >Hollowbody >7/8 String >maybe a 12 string
Also a tele, a gretsch and something with floyd rose
Nathan Stewart
I have to bear beta talk with my boss every damn day before i leave and on saturdays
Carter Kelly
How many albums and EPs have you finished? How often did you stand on a stage?
Evan Stewart
Then dont speak and you wont hear beta talk. Wish i could shake your bosses hand . he sounds like an alpha
Levi Peterson
I have a SSS Strat and a semi-hollow (ES-335 style). If there's anything missing from my collection it's maybe a dedicated guitar for metal but I'm not that hung up on it.
Hollowbodies are cool though. I'd definitely recommend getting one. The sound is different enough that it changes the way I play mine vs. what I play on the Strat. You probably don't need a 7-string, unless you're doing some interesting chordal stuff and you want the extra bass range.
Grayson Myers
No hes not he complains about dumb shit Also he only puts the trash out after the other shop put theirs. Even tho we know it's trash truck's day.
Liam Thomas
Get a Tele, you'd be surprised how different it is from both the Strat and LP
Angel Gonzalez
Then put it out first. Take initiative you weak beta fuck
Jordan Lewis
I do but i get nothing out of it except for the feeling that i'm a retard doing shit for nothing The other day i broomed the dirt that came from the construction nearby without him asking
Chase Flores
>he can't afford a Gibson, the only guitar which is good enough, because he had to pay for a hospital to remove his CB-6000
And? Thats a job. You think the best workers in any field ask their boss what they want or do what they know their boss would like?
Wyatt Cook
>Actually believing it's about gears and not skills >Spends hours shitposting about brands instead of practicing
Samuel Gonzalez
This is a great question. I'd say get a 7 string.
I have: >Tele (single Coils) >Les Paul (Humbucker in the bridge, P90 in the neck) >PRS CU24 (Humbuckers with coil split) >Jazzmaster (Single Coils) >Jazzmaster partcaster (Humbuckers) >Standard Acoustic
That means I'll need: >Semi hollow >7 string or baritone
Liam Morales
retard try harder
Julian Gomez
I mostly play rhythm though, do I really need a 24 fret guitar? None and never, I just play for pleasure. 7 string would be neat though for some meme Djent and Korn. Sure enough, add that one too.
I mean if you're really into that djent/nu-metal sound then sure, go for a 7-string. I'm not a huge fan of the sound because I got burnt out on that shit real quick. Periphery, Animals As Leaders, and After the Burial put out the three most definitive djent albums between 2009-2010 and everything since has sounded like a carbon copy.
William King
>omg i kakad my pants now everybody will notice
Nathan Lopez
"Need", for what? You don't "need" a guitar, unless you're a working musician. If you "want" those guitars, get them. No harm there. But I don't get the "need" thing?
Lucas Sullivan
It's a Les Paul or nothing
Luke Scott
that is an excellent shade
Mason Sanchez
Word on the street is that bass guitars are for faggots
Matthew Bennett
the biggest thing about that tone is that he uses different capacitor sizes than what was installed from factory. there's a video where he himself explains it. apart from that, you should be close enough.
what he said apart from that maybe add a baritone guitar to that list
Andrew Murphy
i want to stick a bullet in my head so bad
Lucas Fisher
I get pissed every time I see a girl learning bass instead of guitar It's like they to be retarded and learn the lesser instrument
my older brother is a piece of shit he's a drug addict since he was like 15 i grew up with this scum waking the house up at 2am because he drank too much and took too much coke and now he came come to steal shit he even stole lamps he even stole the tvs for drugs when my dad was 75 and getting depressed my brother would still scream at him and wish his death. when my dad was going blind he would scream at him and wish he was blind. he did this his entire life because hes a piece of shit 2 years ago when i was a neet he came home after spending the night out and he wanted me to give him money and i didnt, i was sleeping actually, then he broke my window with punches out of anger then my sister (not that fat lazy fuck) reported him to some teen conselour and he gave me 100 reais not to testify against him. i bought that sm57 copy and a headphone. then he bragged to my dad how nice he was to buy me that shit and help me. right now merely hearing him sitting watching tv and hearing his voice moan like a victimizing demon he is is making me feel anxious and nervous and im craving for porn and food. btw he works construction and is strong he breaks the house like its nothing then fixes it half assed he is fuckin CRAZY he drove my parents CRAZY now that my dad is gone im left with that piece of shit in the house, my schizo sister which is needy and depressing, my tired mom, and my other brother that wants to control my life. oh and i forgot my other sister that went to uni and keeps filling my mother of rebel feminist shit, made her hate my dad
thats true
Grayson Brown
i dont give a shit if you keep mocking this walltext for the next threads i am fuckin doomed
Evan Harris
Trying too hard buddy
Jose Scott
Thanks for sharing this with us. Its good to let it out
is it illegal to bend the root note up when playing a pentatonic scale
Christopher Collins
just buy one of the more expensive epiphones at that point its bound to have a better finish, better pickups, and better QC or get a used guitar
Blake Bennett
No, but I may buy it
William Jones
No, but you better have some strong ass fangers
Owen White
its called "not having bitch hands" sweety. if you can't bend a .56 gauge string with your pinky, lemme tell you, you're not gonna make it
Camden Williams
I'm an MSc researcher in compsci but I always had a love for music. I'm working on software to emulate the sound of music playback. Is this a software currently available? Is this something you would use?
>program takes a sound clip input, at least a measure, of your own playing >also takes in the same measure as heard on a song >it makes your guitar sound like that guitar for successive playing >copies any/all effects but also the tone of the instrument itself >it has some success in making a guitar sound like a viola and vice versa, too, but that's not really our goal
I invited 20 music students who play guitar and simulated a 1977 Gibson Les Paul using an Epiphone Les Paul Special and none of them could distinguish which instrument was which. This is a $5000 instrument versus a $150 instrument.
There's a couple of drawbacks, though. You need to know how to play, obviously, but you have to play note-for-note at least a measure of what you're trying to copy. If any bends are involved, it doesn't work fully because none of our testers has been able to reproduce bends with perfect acuity yet. This also extends to things like wah, pitch shifting mid-measure, etc, and delay usually doesn't work but it's a WIP.
I don't plan to market this software, at least not yet. What do you guys think?
It's an auction, currently $26. Plus shipping I'm not going over $50
Michael Rodriguez
No. It's closer to what Kemper/Mooer is doing but our software copies effects.
Another portion of the software is isolating a pedal. Plug a pedal in, play some notes with all dials zeroed out, then increase them to 50%, play, then 100%, play, and it'll make a virtual pedal that is likewise fooling musicians at my university. Set the number of knobs, play with each knob, and you're good to go.
I'm hoping to make music more accessible by making the sound of a pedalboard and an expensive guitar essentially $0. It's part of my thesis.
Adrian Russell
ok then yeah go for it.
Josiah Gray
To add to this, part of it is saving a sound profile and switching on the fly for currently active musicians. Even emulating different tunings, although again, it's a WIP.
"Imaging having ten $5000 guitars and a $5000 pedalboard for the cost of a $200 guitar" is my pitch.
Isaac Morales
so emulation by simply having "files" available of the product its supposed to emulate?
its late and i'm tired so i'm not able to process how this is anything new or revolutionary compared to what's already out there
Landon Stewart

Christopher Barnes
you won't make any money, guitarists with money are all superstitious mojo wankers who think vintage orange capacitors make them sound better. chances are if you tried a 500000$ les paul against that epiphone no one would know the difference in a blind trial even without your effect.
Asher Ross
The problem here is that an epiphone and vintage les paul actually do sound the same so you should have tried it with a cheap metal plank with knockoff EMGs instead.
Expensive guitars are mostly about reliability and feel. It won't make you better but it will distract you less and you won't always be tuning and adjusting the truss rod.
Expensive amps are pointless unless you play for other people. I wouldn't pay to hear a line 6 spider no matter how good you were.
Thomas Williams
who made your lp?
Alexander Morris
Stop low balling you poverty-stricken peasant

Jackson Gutierrez
Are there any sort of standards for pickup sizes? I'm looking to replace my pickups, but is there any way I can find any that are compatible with my guitar so that I can just slot them in and resolder, or will I have to cut into the wood or something like that?

Im finally getting into improvisation and writing my own riffs as a bass player, its fun but how can you tell if your bass line is catchy or boring? It feels like when you write something you cant hear without a warped perception of it. This is a video of me playing a small piece I made up if you guys have any criticism.
If you can't judge your own playing you have no business playing anything more than shitty covers
