now THAT'S a guitar! take note poorfags

Looks like if it was a spring issue it would be falling down, not being pushed up. Seems more like the problem would be the screw thread being stripped

Well, it depends on how it's mounted. If it's mounted to the body, then it's probably a stripped screw/hole issue. If it's not, then its a spring issue.

But then again, if it's mounted to the body then the screw head would stop it from rising. SO it has to be the other, which would be a spring issue.

thanks for the suggestions, the Ibanez RG7431 and the Agile 727 look like what I'm looking for

Don't. It's unlikely that you'll find a good Floyd at that price point. Used Ibanez is probably your only option. Edge, Lo-Pro Edge and Edge Pro are the good ones.

I don't think I will. Why would I?

what about this one

chinese floyds do their job fine. I don't get why people shit on them all the time

buyers remorse

That's a good one. The fretboard might need some oil but other than that it should be quite good right out of the box. Those cheaper Ibanezes have improved a lot in recent years.

They wear out faster, fine tuners are not as precise, the arm might wobble... Lots of things to complain about.

Nah, I can't think of better pedals.

Doesn't work like that unfortunately.

Are you implying that rhythm is actually predominantly above the 12th fret or are you misunderstanding the -lets meme? A leadlet is someone who can't play leads, just like a brainlet is someone without a brain.

John Mayer has embraced DI recording:
>“When I’m playing on people’s sessions these days, I don’t usually bring an amp; I record all my guitars through my Akai MPC [X],” Mayer claims. “Why? Well, because that’s what the rest of the music is suggesting. When everyone is using virtual instruments and virtual effects, there’s no oxygen.
>“Those frequencies are so well cordoned off, a Bassman amp with three mics put on it literally will not fit inside the song. There’s a lot of resistance to that from producers.”
>“My guitar parts are getting on three times more records these days than when I came in with my guitar amp and a couple pedals and mics. It wasn’t fitting the lexicon, so I had to really look at that and ask, ‘Is the old way of doing things really honouring the electric guitar?’

metallica uses them extensively

the vast majority of working artists use modelling these days, with or without actual amps, because it's more cost effective, more flexible and adaptable to different venues, and more reliable than a pedalboard.

just using the axe FX is like using a pedalboard with a preamp pedal on it and just using a clean poweramp or going into the PA

Are Fender and Ibanez, dare I say it, our brands?

are fender and ibanez, dare i say, richer brands that can pay more famous people to endorse their stuff, because they make extensive use of outsourced labor while putting their brand on the mexishit/indoshit so teenagers remain excited to buy "clapton's guitar dude!"

Do you truly believe companies give musicians money just to use their instruments and that musicians don't play what they like? Take a look at this guy, everyone, what a fool.

do leads have an expiration?
and what are some good options for a guitar to USB that isn't cheap shit but also doesn't cost $400?

All of those have probably played a Gibson.

Attached: Only A Gibson Is Good Enough.jpg (4605x960, 3.64M)

they do in fact do this, and it's apparent when musicians leave them after being dissatisfied like that one guy who was paid to use schecter guitars forever

usually they prey upon people that already had their guitars though

Reminder: Multi-effects units with FRFR speakers or DAWs are NOT amp replacements unless you have a professional sound guy fixing that nightmare of a tone.

youtube.com/watch?v=Xww_3SGWcIU

Kempers sound exactly like the amps they profile. Stop expecting good things from line 6.

yeah if you're deaf. they can't begin to model response and feel either

"Feel and response" is called "voltage sag" and kempers do it.

your a fucking retard

>t. never a/b tested an amp he was familiar with
lol keep faking it maybe one day you'll manage to get there bud

I went to a show where a guitarist had killer tone coming out of his Fender Twin. His Twin died mid-show. The opening band was still hanging around and let him use their Line 6 modeling amp. He literally set it to a Fender Twin preset, set the tone knobs how his actual Twin knobs were set and started playing, and it sounded exactly the same.
This was in the early to mid 2000's, and Line 6's have gotten better since then.
Y'all be falling for the snake oil HARD.

boring night at the retirement home huh?

>grandpa sees digital stuff
>his alzheimers does him a favor and has him forget it sounded the same

lmao not an argument bud

Band mixes kill the nuances of tone. This is why bedroom warriors are boutique amp spergs and pros don't care.

How to find out if someone doesn't play live: Ask them about their tonewood.

At least Ibanez is such a guitar nerd brand that I don't think they have to pay anyone. Basically only the artists with production signature models get a commission of sales. Others may get discounts, some free guitar or are allowed to buy or get a LACS. I exchange Ibanez gets a lot of visibility.

>not including Robert Fripp

Why does /gg/ hate Orange amps?

ESP's two custom shops, Schecter's USA shop, Kiesel, and Fender's custom shop all equal and often exceed Ibanez LA's quality.

Will playing bass help me focus on improving my sense of rhythm and therefore making me a better player?

I lowkey wanna learn bass if only because I don't want to 'join a band' but rather do most of the shit myself.

but all those guys sell to shitters and anime girls (i would fuck that bassist from roselia though)

ibanez only sells customs to people who are talented and successful

Like five other guitarists in the crowd with me all remarked to me how amazing and unexpected it was that they sounded the same.

No, drums.

Dude what? Did I say anything about those other brands? Besides, LACS can make as good guitars as anyone else and those titanium rods serve a purpose.

That's because the nuances of tone disappear in a live mix. In a recording or a solo session they're apparent as ever.

I am a tone snob and while I would gig with an MIM HH strat and POD HD500 plugged into the biggest PA speaker available I would buy an R8 les paul and a vintage mesa/boogie if I was offered a recording deal.

This. One rack space can do the work of ten units from a decade ago. If you watch the backstage tour for the bands, they're using smaller and smaller racks, most of it is wireless, switching and an Axe FX. Way less work for the techs, more reliable, and less to set up.

Just look at the page of the top artists who are using it.

fractalaudio.com/artists/

It's being used in pretty much every genre, by top players.

Petrucci hasn't used Ibanez since the 90's, he's been playing Music Mans since.

Clapton was the guy who made Les Pauls and SGs popular, then switch to the black strat.

Slash play's Gibson, but "top of musical ability", no. Jimmy Page, Billy Gibbons and a whole slew of players are better than Slash. Most big players own LPs anyway - Townsend used them for years, before switching to other brands.

But your post is an idiotic "our guy" nonsense post anyway. A player uses what works best for them. It's music, not a football team.

Dude. Okay, it's Yea Forums, but lemme educate you about the realities of endorsements - they RARELY pay artists money to do it. There are different levels to it, too. Most of it is free gear, but not always. The top guys will get a couple of free guitars, maybe, especially if it's a signature model (they don't get a cut of the sales - that's why Zakk Wylde left Gibson and started his own line, he was selling an ass ton of guitars for Gibson and he got zip.) What most players get is special pricing, called "artist pricing" or "friends and family" pricing. The top players get phone numbers of the custom shop dudes to order guitars (that they pay for). The most you'll ever get is a couple of free guitars, even the top players. SOMETIMES, they'll pay for a photo for someone big for an ad, but not usually. The only time I've heard of an artist being paid to pimp gear is doing an appearance at a booth at NAMM. (and it's enough money for them to do it, and free gear.)
PRS is known for giving out tons of their base model guitars to new players, to get their brand out there, it's smart marketing. Or they used to. Gibson and Ibanez and Fender are notorious for being really stingy with freebies.
I worked with a band on a medium sized label who scored an amp endorsement, and each guitarist got a free half stack. They found out they suck, so they toured with their 5150s, and the company didn't really give a shit. They sold the half stacks after the tour, they threw them in the truck as backups and never got used. A lot of endorsement gear gets sold for spare cash.

Fellas I'm a poor and in uni and I need to pick myself up a dirt cheap electric. Trying to decide between an ESP LTD EC-10 LP (189EUR) and pic related (139EUR). Opting for a 7string because I want to play lots of Type O Negative, and I've only ever had a 6s. If anyone's familiar with either of those models please share your thoughts.

play guitar

I just read this article and am super confused now, if Im playing a mode, is the root of it not supposed to be the key? C phygrian starts on a C so the key is C right?

your first post of the day was 8 replies in one as if anyone cared what you thought
you're as bad as a tripfag

this guitar has one too many strings

>C phygrian starts on a C so the key is C right?
It's the key of Ab

im a fucking retard, ive been playing everything wrong

This is a prime example of why it's best to not even think about modes.
Worry about major and minor tonality, which is the way we analyze music, and then consider the notes in the chord you're playing over to us as a guide for where you should resolve notes to.

So few songs are actually modal.

just imagine modes as regular major/minor scale but emphazising a note that is not the root of said major/minor. This is easily achievable by playing the notes that form the chord + the note that make the mode differ from the major/minor scale.

Ionian: 1-3-5-7
Dorian: 1-b3-5-6
Phrygian: 1-b2-b3-5
Lydian: 1-3-#4-5-(7)
Mixolydian: 1-3-(5)-b7
Aeolian: 1-b3-5-b6
Locrian: 1-(b2)-b3-b5

So if you are playing C phrygian, focus on C, Db, Eb and G, give these notes a bigger duration, volume or repetition, while doing the oposite for the rest of the notes.

Don't be so hard on yourself. If you're playing 3 nps scales, you'll have 7 positions. In the key of C, it goes...

C ionian
D dorian
E phrygian
F lydian
G mixolydian
A aeolian
B locrian

C is the mother key of all those modes but it's better to think of the modes in terms of how they relate to their major scale.

D dorian - 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7
E phrygian 1 b2 b3 4 b5 b6 b7
F lydian 1 2 3 #4 5 6 7
G mixolydian 1 2 3 4 5 6 b7
A Aeolian 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7
B Locrian 1 b2 b3 4 b5 b6 b7

I like to think of it this way rather than relating everything back to the mother key

so to be perfectly clear, if Im jamming in the key of Ab, Id play a C phygrian instead?

If C is the root note :)

thanks for the advice guys, I really appreciate it

The key is C phrygian. The root is C, yes.

>oh no you have to follow my posting rules

What he said is that Ab major/ionian had the same notes as C phrygian.

Yes the notes/scale shapes are the same, but you want to remember your root is C

>E phrygian 1 b2 b3 4 b5 b6 b7

should be 5 not b5. Sorry

>should b 5 not b5
Heh

dronetonetool.com/

Try this site. Start with C and jam around in C major - you're using the Ionian mode

Next, play a D note on the keyboard. Jam in C major, while emphasizing the D - you're in D dorian

Keep changing the natural notes on the keyboard (the white keys) while playing in C and you'll hear what those modes sound like

technically you can play any C minor mode over a Cm chord to add more flavor to the song.

Bb Major progression (C in second degree):
ii-V-I (Cm-F-Bb)

Eb Major progression (C is the sixth degree):
vi-IV-V-I (Cm-Ab-Bb-Eb)

You can play C phrygian on the bar where the Cm appears on both cases and it will give a different effect on both.

Can we get some updated names for these modes?

A Minor Gin&Tonic
G Lick-a-Lesbian

Hey bros I recorded an album with my band and I'd like to hear from you about the production and the guitar sound

the first chords sound like First of the North Star opening

looks and sounds sick

Guitar sounds good, but the vocalist sounds a bit too loud and you might want to mix her down just a little bit, not a lot but just a little. I love her voice though

>Dire Straits, The Animals, Steely Dan, Eric Clapton, Cream, unironically Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult

a floyd rose on a $500 guitar is either attached to a broken ESP E-II or is a pot metal licensed one that will stop returning to zero after three gigs worth of use

i discourage starting on strats because the fretboard radius is pussy mode for bar chords

get a cheaper les paul, SG, or ibanez style guitar. they have a fretboard radius more like an acoustic and strats normally come with 9s while those all normally come with 10s. if you can play a gibson style guitar well you can play a strat better (but sound worse because that's just what strats do).

Too be honest this is literally one of my motivations for going electric, easier bare chords.

That's true. It's just like iPhones don't work with regular earphones

>What year is it? I just woke up from a coma.

You know way back when in the time of boomers, when electric guitars first came out, rock wasn't cool. Rock was for kids. They'd grow out of it. And then a generation later, old people were complaining about the new rock and saying "just get a darn gretsch and play some real rock and roll"

That's where we are now. The shredders got older, but their taste in guitars didn't travel back in time to meet the standards of the last generation.

Attached: sd224al_blu.png (1800x640, 845K)

Starts out strong. I like it. It sounds fine, but the part from around 20 seconds on sounds weaker to me than the way you started the solo. I think thirds and sixths (inverted thirds) are among the most "melodic" sounding intervals, so maybe target them over the chord changes and then get back into a tasty pentatonic/blues lick to end.

>Lol give up and find another hobby
