i'm sure he feels it in terms of stuff like neck feel, fretwork, action height, and finish quality, and i'm sure his new guitars goes longer without needing tuning or any adjustments, but i'm not hearing a tone that would make me more likely to pay to hear him play. it's just different.

Can someone explain amps to me? I have a H&K and it's very sterile sounding. Someone demo'd one for me at a store and he sounded great so I bought it blind, not really knowing much about amps.

I see a lot of people talking about "Fender tone", "VOX tone", "Marshall tone", etc. I really don't know what I'm looking for but I know my H&K has no character, cleans sound very sterile. Good pedal platform but I seldom use pedals so my sound suffers.

My shop has a few Jazz Chorus amps and I tried out a JC40 and it sounded good but it was awfully loud even at 1 volume. I notice a lot of amps don't let you choose wattage (power soak), is there an alternative?

Basically what should I know about an amp before I look for one to try out? My shop has slim pickings here in Iceland.

I'm loving my Gibson Sg bass. I'm shooting for that Bob Daisley EP3 through a Marshall tone from Blizzard of Ozz. Bob used one of Randy's plexi for the album and I'm much more a fan of the JTM45.
Since the JTM45 circuit is based on the Bassman, is there a way I can supercharge my Bassman with let's say some overdrive or boost pedals to get a JTM45 similar sound out of my amp?

and that is user's therapy....

Hey guys, what do you think on the new Tool record lol

What you stacking?

AC/DC seem to like them

He cute

your mom used them

Do you think they have good tone?

go camwhore on /soc/

a Behringer SF300 (so FZ2) into a RAT clone that I built into a Big Muff Pi Deluxe.
The BMP has a switchable filter (that you can also control via an expression pedal, I need to get me one of those) that you can up the resonance on with a small Q and use the frequency knob to get a sweeping band pass filter to give an awesome psychedelic sound. I literally sat there playing the open 6th and 5th strings for half an hour just playing with the knobs on the BMP while the strings rang out with a massive wall of sound.

Sounds like 80s buttrock. Your bends are out of tune.

That fucker has perfect pitch

Sterility is in your techique

metal players often discover it when they play clean the first time, but if you gave a better guitarist their rig they'd make it sound amazing

the reason being high gain players have no dynamics

titty friendly contour maybe

Does anyone else find more motivation in learning jazz songs or fingerstyle blues than rock songs because there's no accompaniment required?

I think jazz sounds like pussy ass shit played by limp wristed faggots

I'd feel more motivated to learn rock and metal tracks if I had a band to play with desu

make your own backings, pussy
Program drums and drop a clean guitar down an octave for bass

just learn what you like. learn what you wanna play. if you learn to play jazz or classical you'll be able to play anything though

I only enjoy learning solo pieces. Never learned a cover or anything like that. Single parts only interest me when writing my own stuff.

If I'm going to go through the effort of making complete covers then I may as well start writing my own songs. What's the easiest way to program drums?

You need to listen to high test Jazz

Dude like one of MMMMMMMMMMM guitars

What do I do if it feels like I have to put more pressure on my strings to barre than on other guitars (just ones I've played at guitar center)? My strings look higher up too. Haven't been playing long, sorry if dumb question

Nevermind

>go out
>play other guitars with fat necks
>thumb feels better
>try own guitar
>thumb still feels better
>realize i'm not even touching the neck with my thumb now

Weird stuff

string action & your frets might be funky

Better chord voicings done easier since skipping strings it dirt simple without the need for muting.
It's the way guitar was truly meant to be played.

Why is it so hard to play 7 chords on the first few frets

which seven chords are you trying to play?

F7 bar chord, I keep muting the A string but it never happens if I play an A7 bar for example

Meant to say I'm muting the D string, fuck

if it's hard don't do it, there's 29 other way to do it

It's the only fingering that fits for my song, it's an F->F7, but I could play the F a little different you're right

Use the pick + middle and ring finger on your right hand for the F7

I don't know what you mean but I think I'll play it like this after I practice switching to it from some other chords

cheap, bad tone is actually just vintage tone. vintage gear was as good, sometimes worse, than today's beginner gear. don't tell anyone i shared this secret with you, and don't forget to say you're using a vintage gibson j-45 and a RCA BK-5A next time.

Yes at first using all your fingers feels awkward but when you get used to it it becames so much easier. Also quietly yet constantly practice tremolo picking starting with pinky and then starting with ring finger. Will help with dexterity on your fingering hand.

>the white one
There's nothing left on it stock but the wood.

hows the wood then? but in all seriousness how was it when u got it?

The pickups have a weird sound to them so I wish I played it first before getting it. I ordered in off Amazon, and I almost went with a Fender Strat. I'm kicking myself for not doing that, but if you must get Squire I wouldn't get the vintage one. In a spur of the moment decision I thought vintage would have a more authentic sound since it was older, but it's Vintage Modified Strat so it's modern technology mimicking vintage hence the weirdness. It's of sturdy construction...but Made in Indonesia.

red pill me on condor guitars. how would you rank them to say epiphone. can't find much online about them.

I'm not sure it was stock when I got it. Woods good. The only gripe I have it the nut width is narrow.

bro just say you're not really tearing it up and be done with it

Every time I see someone with a reverse headstock I just think that they're a hendrix wannabe. It's really inconvenient tuning it as well.

Do Epiphone Les Pauls also have tuning issues on the D and G strings like the ones made by Gibson? How do you fix it?

This is my second love right here. I connect with this guitar so much but I have yet to name it.

based. is that a warmoth partscaster?

>what color you want your neck tinted bruh
>just give me doo doo brown

It's a Squier Affinity body and a Warmoth neck; a CBS era strat neck with goncalo alves back and pau ferro fretboard, stainless steel 6105 frets. The saddles were replaced with brass ones.
it's not tinted, stained or oiled at all. also fuck you brown is my favorite color.

nice user. now get better pickups. i don't have a affinity series tele, but i have a classic vibe tele. heard the affinity have terrible pups in them,

To be honest, they're not actually that bad. The bridge is decent and I use it sometimes but I really love the neck pickup. However I do want to put a humbucker in the neck, which it is routed for so it should be a drop in. Eventually I'm going to gut all of the electronics and put quality stuff in there.

How's the CV? I considered getting one before the Affinity. But the place I went to didn't have any.

The Strat through the HRD fucking screams, I love it. I had an Egnater Rebel 20 head/cab stack before and the moment I first plugged a Strat into a Hot Rod at my local guitar store I decided to sell the old setup.

>How do you fix it?
The same way you fix it on any guitar: adequately lubricate the string path, especially the nut.
Any LP will stay in tune with a well-lubricated nut.
You know, or just lube the nut and not waste money on that.

they're really nice. i have an older one from 2014. the newer ones aren't made the same since they are made in a new factory.

the pickups are a little hot but they sound great in the neck and middle positions. done a few gigs and recorded a few songs with it. no issues and is a quality guitar for the price i paid for it. i really want to get a thinline '69 telel now though.

I am trying to do barre chords with the third finger because of reasons, joint of the bone hurts but it's okay, will be worth it.

ramones chords?

it's a tie between suhr, schecter, ruokangas, ESP, PRS, and (every other high end electric guitar manufacturer)

A song in fucking 150 bpm I have been obsessing over. I have slowly been practicing it, but I just noticed if I do barre chords on one part, I will be able to be faster at a very specific part.

why would /gg/ be jelly of tube amps? There are a lot of great and iconic all tube tones under $1000

why would /gg/ be jelly of nice guitars when you can get used ESPs and gibsons for between $1000 and a little over $1500 all day on ebay and reverb?

if the weeaboo neets and mcwagies here can afford to buy them just because of their waifus, not because they're good enough at guitar to justify owning something that costs as much as a used honda civic, it's your own fault if you can't.

How can they even recover?

well if i played an ibanez wizard III instead of my classic 50s les paul neck i'd probably have the thumb cramps other people here have described so gear does matter a bit

and the paintjob is really pretty. i hang it on my wall when i'm not using it.

>does gear matter

Will they come out with a pill that makes you tolerate 60 cycle hum? No? Then I won't buy a fucking strat.

>There's a common mental block that a lot of musicians will have, they will blame their musical frustrations on minor imperfections of their instruments, like a dead spot on the neck or maybe the action is too high, and they might think 'well if only I had that shiny new instrument, that shiny new iPhone of gear, maybe I'd be happy then, maybe I wouldn't be frustrated and of course that's never the case. The danger here is seeing gear as some sort of panacea for musical frustration, we get so frustrated at ourselves and sometimes we just want to find the easy way out

It's not because it makes me play better it's because the hum is fucking annoying

you could adjust your technique for any neck and hold your guitar differently
you could learn to play with more or less strings
you could get used to higher or lower action

or the presence or lack of a whammy bar, and whether or not the strings are locked at one end or both

Or do you like
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

>good quality tremolos
>lower price
Any quality tremolo either costs $200+ for the bridge alone for locking trems or $200+ for the bridge along with the locking tuners and the roller nut or the luthier work for cutting the special self-lubricating nut that you then lubricate yourself anyways, just in case.

Or if you need to bend an open string and a fretted note at once while you strum you can always bend the neck?

Saying gear doesn't matter for music because a shitty new player will make anything sound like a squier is like saying cars don't matter for racing because a newbie in a porsche will get lapped by a pro in a honda civic.

It's all fun and games until you run into a pro with a porsche, and then your turbo civic finally throws a rod on the last lap. Someone will commend you on holding your own despite driving a honda civic but in the end, if you weren't a poorfag you would have been 1st.

Too boring to listen to the whole thing without skipping imo
I loved their old stuff

Guys where do I start? Got myself a simple acoustic guitar to start learning. should I just start trying to play songs I like?

The justenguitar + mega link are both down.

I like Yousician, it's $10 a month and their music is terrible, but you'll stick to a routine and become great, just need a microphone or audio input for your autistic guitar, that's it.

Someone put the links wrong as a joke, it’s justinguitar.com not justen

I've heard the electric guitar is still too new for its limits be explored fully, is this untrue for the electric bass?

Bassfag here, Im trying to become proficient in all playing techniques and am starting with with tapping and tremolo. Tapping is pretty straight foward and will just take practice but tremolo is a bit tougher since Im using fingerstyle. I can either try to build speed with 4 finger plucking or planting my thumb and middle finger and moving my index finger very fast. Does anyone have experience with fingerstyle tremolo on bass? What would you guys recommend

They are shit though. But that’s the secret. All fenders are low key shit. Not wanting to knock them too much but everything about the design screams affordability

>single coil pickups
>plastic knobs
>bolt on neck

>I'm trying to become proficient in all playing techniques
That's your answer right there: learn both. They have distinct sounds and both are useful.

how do you guys approach learning a very fast solo with lots of notes accurately?

Use a metronome. Play it as slowly as you can while getting every note right. Practice as this very slow speed until it's effortless. Increase the tempo in very small amounts, making sure that it's still effortless every time you do so.

Nah I'm just saying that next time you get overtaken by GAS remind yourself that you're usually getting played by the marketing jew.

Lmao you will be wishing you had a bolt on neck when your gibson falls over and snaps it's headstock. Single coils are not cheap they have a unique tone. Plus strat can also have HH and HSS config which increases modularity unlike a les paul. Plastic knobs I guess is true but abalone or whatever high end bullshit would look tacky on a strat

Bolt-on necks are best when you fly. Just take it off and wrap it in clothes, instant indestructible guitar.

>"Im trying to become proficient in all playing techniques"
>Refuses to use a pick
You should try a little harder, then.

How about no?

Nobody cares.

Was playing around a bit with weird chords and made a melody over it by ear. Any potential here or does the melody suck?
