You guys all know each other?
Yes. Everybody's been posting here daily for at least 3 years, albeit anonymously.
you are not supposed to acknowledge this unspoken truth
I've been to the petshop where Sam works before and got advice on the best leashes to walk my cat with
>tfw none of you know who i am and you never will either
Different uses depending on feel.
Post guitar and configuration. Then suggest what you should get next
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
>guitar with a middle PU
Bet that Charvel shreds nice
>need
You only need two humbuckers, six strings, and a floyd with a set of wooden blocks handy
Everything else is a meme
Haha and I did, deal with it
Not true
So does everybody but you mom
Les Paul, Tele, Acoustic, PJ bass, 5 str active j bass, broken classical.
Am currently working on putting a humbucker on the Acoustic, a middle pickup on the Tele, and building a headless guitar for playing at work.
Guys I kind of miss crazyaga posting, crazy as it sounds
Now that K-On burned to the ground which anime girl is /gg/'s new mascot?
Have anyone already thought of making a wood tremolo block?
Tim Henson
It's their turn
My favorite necks. So comfortable
Nothing is burned. It's just a digital picture, you can still use it.
literally everyone. you carve it to fit your specific guitar.
ran. i like the rest of the guitar playing anime girls (timmy and friedman included) too much to curse them with that role.

Guys, how to sing? My band wants me to dude harmonies

Ask Sambo what he does, then do the opposite
Maybe not these days but he was melodic as fuck

>dude harmonies
heh
that's fair, but damn, I saw Journey last year and he was hilariously over the top with his wanking
lotta fun though
Hajimari Hajimari~
Now that Ran has been eaten by a gay looking albino dude I vote Tim Henson for the official anime girl of /gg/
Just do it
Guitarists from the age of the recording artist do not understand showmanship
>Ew, wanking! Way too much showing off!
>Have you tried a slow, melodic solo, faggot?
If I pay to watch someone play guitar they better play the hell out of it.
This. It's boring to see someone play a basic guitar solo unless it's a sideman, in which case you don't care much about the guitarist
All the regulars of this general have been posting here daily for at least 3 years
>if i have to give my money he'd better make a clown out of himself!
the proles need their circus entertainment to feel better about their miserable lives i guess
This is the type of shit a guy who never leaves his bedroom would say
what the proles actually need is "classy" recordings so they don't have to take time off work and pay to see live music
>concerts? no man, i listen to music in my car
>on the way to work
>and on the way home from work
>yeah i consider myself classy, i don't listen to stupid shit like guitar shredding
you say this but much of great classical music is just historical shredding composed with a bit of showing off in mind
lmao this tri/gg/erd the prole hard lad good job
You just reminded me that I still have nightmares of that dude wanting me to play shyly and behaved like a sideman while he paid me nothing and bashed me for it as a bonus
This. And Fred Durst and DJ Ashba prove it
lol he just exposed himself as a prole through projection
i bet he doesn't even own a gibson
You all are proles

This is like endless kindergarten arguments
user, you know you're supposed to be practicing the whole time you're here with only quick shitpost breaks, right? /gg/ is only here to break up the monotony

my favorite is that one guy who's actually rich and gets mad at people for posing as richfags
>REEE A GIBSON IS ONLY $2500 YOU CUNTS
Novelty matters and more than that, composers were musical swiss army knives, the composed according common practice conventions, performed and improvised according to them as well.

Oh so that's why classical all sounds like the same shit!

wtf is this thread? someone in /int/ told me to try the guitar general on Yea Forums for my question and i get here and there's no guitar discussion going on at all just stupid shitposting

Music is not tablature.
Tablature is just a map that points to a location on the guitar, Sheet music informs you of: the type of chord and inversion, the rhythm(more often than tab), allows you to analyze the chord progression, makes voice movement obvious, and opens the music up for interpretation because you can decide where to play a series of notes on the neck rather than being told.
Tablature is for e-jiots.
>he can't analyse music unless it's written down
Yeah and rockists are brainlets
>it tells you how to play each detail of the music
>but it does open up for interpretation trust me
You sit there idly at your computer (or let's be real, more like on your phone), waiting eagerly for every one of my replies, this constitutes your whole morning. No value gained, nothing learned, just shitposting. Meanwhile, I conglomerate a mass of skills into my repertoire practicing diligently only taking a quick few breaks here and there and honing my techniques carefully and deliberately. You toil away over a simple glossing over of punctuation and frivolous nothings like sexual preferences while I become the master of my craft. There's one idiot in this thread, and it is you, my friend.
Quick point of privilege: commies fucking trigger me. Please go jump off a bridge.
>he took time to write a large block of text just to say he spends more time practicing than writing posts
Tried too hard this time
i only advocate for communism, once it's in place in the united states will i reveal my real political ideology
Bass guitar is for fags
Strawmanning is always the last gasp. No one said it's the only way to analyze music, we were talking about Standard Notation vs Tablature.
And that's a good thing. Every band needs someone on the road with them to relieve the pressure orally, and lord knows groupies aren't a thing anymore. Unless you hit it mega big. In the meantime the bassist will have to do
If you don't need to rely on sheet to analyze music then why do you count it?
And just you turned this into a tab vs sheet argument. I said sheet is a snob's tab. I use neither.
But I don't need one

How do you learn music you haven't heard before?
Music I have never heard in my life gets put in front of me by students all the time, I have to be able to analyze and interpret the material, the only efficient way to do that is through sheet music.
There's an immediate, practical example.
Lmao you had to go to school to learn music?

I won
Not quite 3 years, but probably close.

Is guitar a good way to cope with anxiety and depression. My therapist says I need a hobby
Most guitarists are insecure losers so yeah. But you gotta stick with it and don't just drop it because muh depression.

Ever notice how guys with expensive guitars are usually shitty players and some kid with a cheap Ibanez can play circles around them?
Because they're afraid to pick them up and play them.
That's one ugly fucking spic, who's he?
No but I notice poorfags find all kinds of ways to cope with not being able to afford a good guitar
How much do think a good guitar costs?
t. can't play
$350
i get the feeling this amp+speaker combo is too bright, based on youtubers' opinions but some commenters love the combo. i've never had a 1960 cab but have heard that they don't sound so bright and maybe that makes up for the brightness of marshall heads, whereas orange heads sound darker than marshall heads so the orange cabs help to make up for that, am i right bros?
that's all /gg/ is mane they either own deans or condors
bout tree fiddy
what cost $350? example?
Watch south park dumbfuck
but that would make me a dumbfuck like u
Buncha dumbfucks
Can anyone suggest a combo amp with a good tone that isnt one of the high end expensive amps like Deluxe/Twin reverb? Doesn't need to be very loud, just decent tone and not too pricey.

I just started learning classical guitar two days ago, my fingers are not very agile, especially my A finger, and I struggle to correctly play some of the super beginner stuff. Will my fingers get better over more practices?
>Not too cheap sounding?
Nope
Don't get a kakatana
>How do you learn music you haven't heard before?
With a pair of ears and a brain
>Music I have never heard in my life gets put in front of me by students all the time, I have to be able to analyze and interpret the material
You can do that by yourself
>the only efficient way to do that is through sheet music
It only requires theory knowledge to analyze music. if you really need to write it down because you don't have ram in your brain from overslaving, it doesn't necessarily have to be in sheet.

Samuel Campos
Yes
I think you lost your point halfway through
>the collective shitpost of the day is "gg is too shit I'm leaving lol"
Boring
This is so relaxing youtu.be
my point was:
marshall heads (bright) + marshall cabs (dark) = good?
orange heads (dark) + orange cabs (bright) = good?
marshall heads (bright) + orange cabs (bright) = bad?
Orange anything = bad, simple as
lol you seethin' fool
Has Sammy ragequit yet? Last time I came by he'd lost his shit and started spamming his miniature monkey dick.

I got my Behringer Super Fuzz in from amazon today. Anyone else use one? How do you like to set it?
Why does it matter? He didn't quit your mind so what difference would it make?
hey niggas I just got this 1970s japanese made SG copy guitar at a thrift store, anyone have any idea what its from and who the signatures on the back are from? it has an auction sticker on the back so it was auctioned at one point.

Oh fuck that's hot
strat is the worst guitar. can not find any matching distortion or od, everything sounds ice picky except fuzz
ugh is that a veneer?
why care? It looks rad
You fucked up, if you weren't a poorfag you would have just bought the guitar online and returned it if it wasn't to your liking. You showed your empty hand and you got it slapped as a consequence. He gave you the online equivalent of a bitch slap for trying to waste his time.
What store is this? Will make sure to never buy anything from those pricks.
I need to know as well so I can do all my shopping there.
Where are they made now? I haven't kept up with strandberg but I remember they were supposed to be premium guitars, if they're asian imports it makes sense I guess. I see they have some models that are kind of affordable.

Who?
I don't know what guitar to buy next. My budget is 5 grand
Good guitar for 1500 bucks for a metalfag that hates the aesthetic of metalfag guitars?
SG

Small 3/4 classical guitar.
Hate to tell you this but no guitar is worth more than $1500. Enjoy pissing your money away
a les paul or an sg
surf green humbucker tele
Flying V
Don't like the SG neckdive unfortunately
Ashtray bridges are cancer
Not all of them dive, actual Gibsons are more balanced. Just try a few
I'll go to a store to check some Gibbys out but I just wanted to see if people had anything in mind I wouldn't usually think of. A Gibson Tribute would be good but goddamn that satin puts me off.
get a guild polara. its not neck heavy
If you can stretch your budget
Try and get a '61 re-issue if you can, they're usually 1 piece bodies and have the fastest neck. The satin isn't too bad but it will relic way faster than the full gloss
Wish I could go for an American Strat were it not for that god awful vintage bridge.
You can always swap it out, easy mod
Very funny, you fucking faggots. Go buy this and post pics with timestamp

Ideally I would want to spend my 1500 and be close to 95% content with my guitar when I get it. I wish the Ibanez Prestige series didn't have so many ugly guitars or that awful trem system. Otherwise I would have probably been interested in them a lot more.
Oh yeah and fuck the skinny Ibanez necks I hate that so much
do you need a trem?
How you gonna shred though?
No, the opposite in fact. I hate trems and I am super picky about getting a hardtail guitar. Preferably something ergonomic, otherwise I would have gone for a Gibson 2019 Explorer already.
consider a peavey t-60 or a gibson marauder
Charvel has many tasteful models
reverb.com
exactly at your price range, looks cool as hell
What about a Gibson Les Paul Studio 2019? Looks like a regular LP to me minus the binding.
They're good, its a no frills LP.
Can where you practice affect how often and how well you practice? I recently moved from home to a dorm for college and I haven't been practicing near as enough as I used to back home, even though I have the time based on how I study. I used to have a whole room in the front of the house where my family kept all their music stuff: my trumpet from when I was a kid, our baby grand, and all my gear laid out. Now everything is stuffed underneath my lofted bed and I don't even have a chair to sit. I can't practice as freely since my roommate naps at the most inconvenient times, and his side of the room is a fucking mess. Is the way I am feeling and practicing right now normal?
anybody have any thoughts on ampeg guitar amps?
im trying to choose between am ampeg gvt52 and a peavey classic 50
same price, same speaker config, same wattage, roughly the same size
what im hearing is that the peavey is more in the vein of a fender style amp, while the ampeg is sort of in it's own vein, and sort of goes into a high gain modern sound when you really crank it. that appeals to me, but id like to get some input
Grabbed a cheap used CRATE FXT120 today to use as a portable practice amp for jamming with a neighbor and his drum set, I've been out of guitar/bass for a few years, but hadn't bought much in the way of accessories or amps in a few decades.
When/why did CRATE go out of business? I don't think they were every super high end, but they were always there for us poor teenagers who needed "good enough for now" on a $5/h McBudget,
Also, I dont recognize any of the cables guitar center had, I've had the same cables for decades. What are good brands now now for cables? Does it even matter anymore? I grabbed a "Live Wire' cable because it looked like the old CRATE ones I used to buy who have been so reliable for so long, but given the price, that seems unlikely.
And Last question; Clip on tuners, are they worth a shit on an electric, or even an electric bass? The guy at the store definitely thought so when I was looking at them.
Sorry, it was like walking back in to a world I used to know but is completely different now.
I feel like betraying guitar for Keyboard. At least for a while.
Problem with guitar is that I never seem to practice it anymore. It's there. I see it. I kind of want to pick it up and practice but then I just don't.
Might just buy a entry-level 150 quid Casio keyboard and mess around with it for a while, see if it gels with me. At worst I can just mess around with the sound effects on the keyboard for a quick laugh now and then like I did at school as a kid when the teacher stepped out of music class.
Rent a climate controlled storage locker
guitar cables are like other kinds of cables, they all functionally do the exact same thing, so the only consideration you have to make is for build quality.
ive always been a fan of telephone style curly cables, because generally the only way something like that is gonna break is if you stomp all over it. all im gonna say beyond that is dont go on the SUPER cheap side of things and avoid fender cables
clip on tuners work as well as any other kind, the downside is that you have to change their batteries, whereas a pedal tuner is connected to an outlet. you also have to manually mute your guitar to tune if youre playing on stage, which isn't a downside for everyone but its something to think about
Have everything ready to go with no distractions. Same for recording/composing. That barrier of having to get everything ready is certainly real. Can you really not get a small comfortable chair in there? Otherwise stand with a strap.
Seam line?
I kinda figured as much with the cables, the durability thing is basically what i was concerned about. Not a lot of abuse these days, rolled over by a chair on a real bad day.
The tuners I always had before weren't pedals, but they had an input, which meant unplugging from the amp, plugging in to the tuner, setting it somewhere you could see it and tuning. The last clip on style tuner worked on my acoustic, but wouldn't even register my electric, so i was kind of surprised he was pushing it so hard.
That was meant as a reply to this.
i think, you've posted it before. it looks noob, sorry

Fuck it, I am a semi-regular in /gg/ so this time only I am shilling my first album just out on Spotify as of midnight UK. You may know me as fatass, lardass, broken wrist Martin guy or perhaps even fat fuck!

Cheers pal.
ok?
Good for you for doing something user.
Thanks. :)
I was thinking about you when I was driving home from work today. Glad things look good.
Strange headstock shape, usually Epiphone copies Gibson as they did with bell shape but the rest doesn’t look Gibson to me.

Don't buy a fucking Katana.
I wonder who could be this butthurt about anons being nice to another user lol
Couldnt possibly be an envious peasant could it.
The same people that get butthurt over plastic switch buttons.
Based on all the replies the correct evaluation is they're being douches. You need to be able hear what a guitar sounds like before you buy it.
“I don’t care. Shop elsewhere” is a really fucking rude response, guy should get the sack for that.
My sg has slight neckdive so I just stuck weights in it, it helped a lot
This guitar has one too many strings.

Try to remember that's either this or kys'ing, works for me
Play your guitar as if it is a keyboard like I do.
Seriously though, there's only a handful of things you can't do on guitar that can be done on a keyboard, it's just the skill threshold required to maximize the guitar is way higher when compared to a similar sounding piano piece.
Is that a humidifier built into the case?
I use d’addario humidipaks, expensive but lazy option.
Wouldn't you want silica
Yeah Cordoba has a Humicase and Humicase I believe is their own brand.
>Play your guitar as if it is a keyboard like I do.
So, you play djent?
How the hell do you drop tune without having your strings so slack? I already play decently heavy strings and even in D standard they feel sloppy as hell.
Floyd Rose masterrace reporting in
I've got mine blocked
Why? is it an original floyd or licensed?
2000
Looks complicated
I guess thats the same parts as an original just mfg'd in Korea. Does it go out of tune or some shit? I can beat on my original floyd and it springs back to tune
Holds tune fine. I just realized that I'm not a trem type guy.
Fair enough
longer scale length guitars
What really? Source?
>decently heavy strings
what gauges?
11-50
get 11-56. D'addario EXL117 is one i like.
