How do you guys feel about effects?
I want to stick to a natural/pure sound and use only overdrives, but on the other hand, I was completely blown away by the weird guitar effects/noises that Todd made on Glassjaw's Worship and Tribute back when I first heard it in the early/mid 00s.

>>126778030
haha yeah

>>126778030
reverb, delay, boost, and wah are allowed.

>>126778030
So much of music is composed of the same few keys and progressions, so throwing some effects in can help differentiate your sound. If you like it, use it.

>>126778084
I'm on board with boost.
Did Todd use a wah on this track, or is it one of those auto envelope filters?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2kC-ujLMwM
God, fuck. It sounds so good.

>>126778030
reverb and delay are fine

>>126778030
what kind of retarded question is this

do you need us to hold your hands while you play the guitar too

>>126778030
Reverb is a minimum. Many couple if with a short delay as part of their always-on tone. A boost and compressor should also be on your board. These things tighten up your sound without making it "wet" or effected.
A lot of people at least some amount of modulation, depending on the situation, all of which make your sound larger. A chorus is usually a minimum to at least have available. Flange, phaser, tremolo and univibe are all good options as well.
Used in subtle combination, many effects can be used to add depth, space and movement to your tone without things sounding wildly un-guitar like.
But of course, you can always turn all the knobs up high and get some crazy Pink Floyd or Robin Trower-ish psychadelic and shoegaze shit.

>add depth, space and movement to your tone without things sounding wildly un-guitar like
I can see where you're coming from; I would say Tricot pulled it off in Potage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rZWdolJfgk
Reverb is a tough one. If recording direct in, it makes sense to me. I would prefer a natural room sound otherwise.
100% with you on the compressor; I would add EQ as another essential one.
>>126778094
My plan is to compose at the piano and then transcribe it for guitar and bass. I thought I read that Johnny Greewood did that... maybe.

>>126778175
i'm not a zoomer and you're a fucking retarded faggot who should probably commit suicide

You guys seein' this?

>>126778030
I feel more with affect.

>>126778216
>I would prefer a natural room sound otherwise.
Depends on how you're mic'ing. Room mics aren't the best for mic'ing instruments and instrument mics aren't great for capturing natural reverb.
But within a recording context there's a million different ways you could handle this, even with a simple patch.

What's with YouTube guitar channels and denim?

are there exercises that you can do that make your hand bigger or fingers longer? like sticking your hand in a buck of dry rice and squeezing really hard?

>>126777985
Slash says "Seven out of ten Stratocaster players experience orgasm while being raped."

>>126778507
Not really, you can stretch your fingers pretty easy, open your fingers as wide as possible on your fretting hand and hold for 10 seconds, do it a few times a day until you can bend your pinky and thumb parallell with your wrist.

>>126778526
What's the furthest stretch you can reach?

>>126778526
>until you can bend your pinky and thumb parallell with your wrist.
uh, parallel to your wrist would be like the red hand. do you mean perpendicular (the green hand)?

>>126778558
3-9, smol hands

>>126778570
its all relative mate depends on the position of your hand, i mean the green.

i can get that satch tone i cannot however play like him
https://voca.ro/1dUCiS1ncpkE

>>126778574
3-9 is my absolute maximum and i need to angle my hand all weird to do that. 3-8 is my reasonable max. i hate being a handlet.

>>126778606
no need to reach further than that anyway just go up or down a string

my sunburst partscaster is being a pain in the fucking ass lately
I really gotta take it to a shop to get a setup job n file those frets

Gotta nice deal as this beauty. It's mahogany, funnily. I was almost gonna get a Gibby for my HB needs, but I just can't get away from Strats, I guess.

>>126778784
rad

>>126778784
shouldve gotten a charvel
badass as hell

>>126778801
Maybe one day. I've never had a Floyd Rose. The Strat has a roller nut, which is surprisingly good for regular trem use. Not shredder stuff, but I think Jeff Beck used one.

>>126778832
floyds are pretty cool. honestly I prefer getting a kahler if I can help it but I can live with a floyd if its a special or an original
regardless though cool find man thats a fucking sick guitar

>>126778937
you guys gonna suck each other's cocks or what

(You) should suck mine considering you're so obsessed with em

Is your DNA in guitars you have played, or vice-versa?
Do you count guitars that you have owned and sold as still "yours"?

>>126779085
No, they're more like pets. And sometimes you have to give a pet a new home (rare and sad, but it happens). You just hope the new people treat them well.

>>126779099
Respectfully, I disagree. I put my pets in cages and terrariums.I spay and neuter my pets. I give my pets toys, and they amuse me. My guitars are different.

Post kino guitar videos.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w88dkAadkbk

>>126779125
How is that any different? A guitar case is like a cage, isn't it? Neutering your pets is like giving a guitar a shitty "upgrade". The toys are your picks or something.

>>126779085
Guitars are kind of an extension of me but I also kinda see em like girlfriends(or boyfriends if you swing that way)
Some you'll stick with for a long ass time and some you'll part ways with
Like I wish with all my heart I could get back my old white jazzmaster but shes long gone now, I fucked up but theres no use beating myself up over it too badly. Gotta let go sometimes even if it's difficult afterwards.

I lost my korg chromatic tuner so itll just get intonated when it gets a setup I guess

I think I'm going to buy my 8th guitar. 11th if you count my basses as guitars. Feels bad man.

noob here

thinner pick for lighter sound? trying to play quietly

>>126779537
Yes, that will help. Also think of brushing the strings instead of pushing through them.

>>126779537
Play with headphones or play somewhere where you can hear that shit loud, volume makes a hell of a difference.

>>126779537

woke up in a cold sweat over having a nightmare where the headstock on my favorite guitar snapped

nice bros, my new bass stays in tune overnight.

yep, its an "keep forever" instrument.

>>126779989
I had a similar dream, I was learning to play Holy Diver with barre chords for some reason and the headstock just broke off and dangled there while I kept playing because my guitar now had a locking nut.

im so fucking retarded

Do Strat or Tele nuts fit on a Jaguar? Thinking about changing from 11s to 12s or even 13s.

>>126781463
Depends on the nut width and string spacing and fretboard radius which all depend on the guitar and country of origin of said guitar

Is there any way to grind down sharp fret edges without fucking up urethane finish

>>126781463
You just need to get the correct radius. Vintage specced Jags are 7.25, but some modern ones are 9.5.

>>126781368
I forgot to mention I am the Chief Financial Officer, Mark Taylor.
I love people paying thousands of dollars for our wooden pieces of shit.
Thank you for asking.

>>126781493
It's Squier VM 9.5 radius and 42 mm width.

>>126781062
Suddenly I see this is what I wanna be

anyone else have a BOSS GX100? Im starting to use mine again after using pedals for a while. I dont know how to use the multieffect well yet tho

>>126777769
I got an Austin hss chinesium strat clone with a crate 15w amp and 4 lessons for $250 in 2006 and I still have it and use it. Some cheap starter guitars suck in the right way. The electronics and hardware sucked but the fretboard(real rosewood ) neck and body are rock solid 20 years later.

>>126780919

I was thinking about this on my morning walk. Strats and telecaster and jazz masters have their own unique selling points. The Gibson's only selling point is their scale length, they all sound the same.

>>126781736
Gibson is basically the les paul company so it's fine, they'll beat that dead horse til eternity

>>126778574
>>126778606
>3-9
>3-8

I can only do 3-7 at best and even that is basically an unplayable stretch. Count your blessings.

Any of you guys ever get anything from the Fender Mod Shop? I think it’s a lot of money for what you’re getting (more than a Pro II) but it’s also kind of cool parting together builds.

>>126781913
I like to check the Reverb listings for mod shop stuff cause it obviously doesn't retain its value.

>>126781794
Why the fuck do you need to stretch that far anyway, what are you trying to play?
The guitar has multiple strings tuned in fourths for a reason

>>126781983
long chords daddy

>>126777985
Why does it look like cheap black plastic truss rod plug they use on mexican/Indonesian guitars?
And what song does slash record with a strat? Because he doesnt play them live

>don't even put in my email or anything
>close the tab

I fucking hate the modern internet, goddamn

>>126778784
I own this guitar. I love the neck and its the heaviest strat ive ever played, the abalone inlays are cool you dont see them on too many fenders. My favorite thing is the roller nut, super underrated and its a shame more guitars dont come with them

>>126782032
In a perfect world roller nut and bridge, as well as stainless steel frets and locking tuners would be standard issue for even entry level guitars

>>126782074
I mean the only downside is youre probably not getting a set of 12s on them but other than that i love them

>pluck one string with pick
>all my strings ring
How do I stop this? I'm plucking with little to no strength and I still get extra ringing. Scales and chords are hard w big fingers.

>>126782159
Welcome to playing a stringed instrument
You have to mute the other strings with your picking or fretting hand. Really it's a combination of both

>>126782159
Left hand fingers lightly touch all the high strings you're not playing, right hand palm rest on all the lower ones

>>126782032
Did you buy it new? There isn't much info about it. Apparently it was a Guitar Center Deluxe tweak or something. I had my eye for a Crimson HSS, but this one really had nice appointments, as you said.

Anyone try mixing thier album through a guitar amp? Would it end up sounding different? Im thinking of going straight into my amp with an aux cable

>>126777714 (OP)
Can anyone link me that video with the acoustic guitar seller or teacher with the cowboy hat?

>>126782364
There's probably a rule telling you that's the worst thing you could do, but maybe the results will be good.

>>126782355
No i didnt buy it new, it was a dream guitar of mine when i was first starting out
But i have an old copy of musiciansfriend from like 2006 that had it in there for sale so i doubt it was GC exclusive

>>126777769
Yeah that's what I thought of too. Like what if the guitar couldn't even stay in tune correctly so the kid gets frustrated because everything they try to play sounds wrong, even basic chords.

>>126782387
yeah i mean it will be mono for one thing

>>126782410
Maybe it MF exclusive then. MF is owned by GC, so maybe I'm confused.
Well, you got good taste man. lol

>>126782173
>>126782234
On bass it just happens naturally and I don't think about it much because I'm only responsible for one string or note at a time. Having to play multiple strings and mute multiple strings is crazy. Once I learn this and how to play chords with my big ass hands, I'll win at life.

What are some good high gain lunch box amps these days? Looking at PRS MT15 and a Peavey Invective currently.

>>126782561
Try to listening for it to create a percussive tone in your playing since you are familiar with bass. It will help you stay in rhythm. A pick scraping against muted strings behind the chord/note you're picking can add a dimension to your playing as well. Its something everyone learns how to do naturally over time. You'll find the most comfortable way of doing so and will never think about it again.

>>126783061
mt15 is awesome. It does mesa better than my old mesa. I think tiny terror is 10 years outdated at this point. There are really no features. Monoprice is a generation of improvements ahead of that ripped right off of laney, even though the 15 is a small combo. The peavey mini heads are improvements on their larger older counterparts. The mini valveking is a lot better than the original vk. The original classics felt like they were going to melt the controls and you could cook food on the faceplate. They sounded like it too, just great. I don't know what they did to the classic MH jamming all that into a smaller box. Placing the tubes above rather than below obviously.

Why are so many headstock designs so bad.... I'd say Yamaha's isn't great but even theirs is miles above most others.

>>126783485
Because the nice designs are all copyrighted by Fender and Gibson
Most Les Paul copies look uncanny because of their headstock, unless the body design itself is changed

>>126783485
There's only so much you can do, I guess. Martin is so old that they basically have dibs on the most generic headstock. Gibson and Gretsch kind of come in second with classic looks, but a little ornamented. Fender's way to recognizable to be imitated (and even, the Tele headstock is weird).
I don't think Ibanez is bad, for the type of guitars they are.

I write best with I'm in a claustrophobic suffocation space of sweltering heat paying my dues.

how is the 7watt mode on the mt15? i keep hearing its a really loud 20w. Im going to be using whatever lunchbox i get for recording so being able rip it in a studio space is pretty important to me.

I really wish I had smaller fingers man. Bar chords are really hard and even regular chords. Like the A shape feels almost impossible for me because my fingers get in the way of each other

I'm about to order an sbs ss260. I got a firefly MMFN the other day and it was such a piece of shit I just dropped it off to return. It was the white relic, looked great, felt and sounded like shit and came with a broken tone knob, they told me to get it fixed so i told them to go fuck themselves. The SBS guitars have much better quality control and quality parts for like 50 more bucks. Just trying to figure out what color to get. I'm a little torn between red and green. Even the purple I like. I've played fender strats and jags for 14 years. Need a shredder with a floyd. Anyone have any experience with SBS or guitarfetish?

I hope my Shinjuku drive isn't shit

>>126777714 (OP)
When I was young I used to play guitar and bass and was in a few bands. It’s probably been about 5 years since I’ve even picked up my guitar. Where has the time gone?

>>126784578
I don't remember. The worst part of the mt15 is the volume control. It feels like it's on a hair trigger similar to the old hot rod amps. The clean channel is toward the sterile side.

>>126784676

I had the same thing with a squier classic vibe tele, I already have a fender custom tele but if I hadn't, the neck just felt right and it was a good 2lbs lighter than most other tele's I've held. Pickups were surprisingly decent considering the 450$ price point.

ironic because i've owned 3 different ibanez guitars in my life, one was a japanese made one that was amazing, but i don't own any of them anymore
i'm basically the boomer meme, i like metal meme machines with super hot pickups, flat necks and all that through high gain amps
but the older i got the less i liked metal and as a result the less i liked these ugly ibanez guitars. i ended up selling all 3 of them and now you couldn't pay me to play an ibeenhad ever again

shredding is the same way. it's cool when you can't do it, but once you can it's kinda boring
marty friedman said he hates getting called a "shredder" because to him, a shredder is someone you watch playing really fast and think it's cool but if you were to shredding without watching it's the most boring thing ever

The A and D strings are fretted with the pinky. Its very simple

Texas Specials
simple as

>>126785480
and every single other thing can be done on a real guitar like a fender or a gibson
there is no point to brands like ibanez or jackson unless you're making farty buzzy shreddy nonsense

>>126785505
i HATED my Texas Specials in my Tele for a long time but I realized it's because my amp is a Plexi
i tried out the Neural DSP Tone King plugin to see how a Fender style amp would sound and I absolutely fell in love with the pickups
through the Plexi they were just so bright and harsh and nothing I could do would tame them, but they sounded great through an amp that could actually do clean

What should I put into the effects loop of this pedal? Im starting to like it's cab sims and shit, not sure if i should put some fuzz and synth pedals in the loop or if i should put my delay reveb and chorus and shit in there.

I'll go grab one but I dont think I used the correct wording. I meant more would it hinder my development as a guitarist. It seems like an easy way to help me learn and if it's just something i can always use that would be beneficial.

>>126785720
It just effectively moves the nut anon
In some ways it makes shit harder cause the fret gaps are smaller

>>126785684
Get one. Just make sure to get one with the right radius. Some of them are made for classical guitars.

>>126777714 (OP)
Is there a good diagram that explain what modes, or scale patterns across the neck, are common between what keys of different scale modes?
Like how F lydian is C major and also one of the phrygians, I'm losing my mind. Scotty has his mode sheets except they're all the same and I know the roots and flats are technically in different spots but I'll load up a new scale and it was the pattern I just learned, by a different name

>>126785853

You turn the tone knob all the way down and it's great for chill grooves, all the way up it is a sharper sizzle-like sound. Turn your guitars tone knob all the way down and adjust for taste. A sound the can be utilized by skilled artists (such as John Frusciante, Kurdt Cobain, or Jerry Garcia). Boss really did it right with this one. Pair it with a ProCo Rat (used historically by David Gilmour), when you want heavy metal/sludge riffs.

>t.player with head too far up his own ass in theory that it takes him 200 hours of thinking just to play what feels right

>>126785720
I mean it shouldnt unless you plan to only ever play open chords at various positions which a lot of acoustic """players""" seem to do

How many spare backup sets of tubes do you guys keep in these uncertain times?

>>126785879
Are you on the west coast or mountain time, mr rep?

>>126786025
i keep an extra pair of strings in every one of my guitar cases

How do you get used to a rounder 7.25” radius? All of my guitars are at least 12” radius but I played an American Vintage Strat at my local shop and loved it, but the rounder fretboard just feels weird.

>>126786059
I don't because I never bring my guitars anywhere

>>126785853
All modes and scales are the same shape (not counting altered scales like harmonic minor). It is the context. For instance an Em pentatonic can be played over an Em chord, but also a Bm chord. But the E minor scale with all 7 notes can also be played over a B minor chord. But not all notes in the E minor scale are in the B minor scale, however every note of the B minor CHORD is contained in the E minor scale. Just as every note in the E minor chord is contained in the B minor scale. To make sense of this find out the major 7th and minor 7th chords in a scale. For instance B minor, the G and D can be major 7ths. In E minor it would be the C and G. Also the dominant 7 of the key provides context, for there is only one per key. In B minor it is A7, in E minor it is D7. The dominant chord contains the notes of the diminished triad of the key, with a fourth note. An A7 is A-C#-E-G. C#dim is C#-E-G. The half steps and seventh chords shape the context. But you can always change key or scale, or tempo whenever you want without reason. But if you know these things you can interact with them even while soloing without thinking. Being aware of the notes of the open strings and how they relate to the key you are in is very useful. Playing in a key that includes the open notes within it allows you to always be able to play an in key note. This is very useful for rhythm playing. Knowing the 0 and 12th fret are always available on any string gives you options.

What was all that shit about Vietnam?

>>126786077
I must be an outlier because I don't notice any difference despite having owned everything from 7.25 to 12" radius, the only thing that stuck out to me is smaller radius tend to fret out more when you bend so you can't keep the action as low

I just don't like single coils all that much
the hum drives me crazy

>>126786077
Just keep playing it.

I give this my poorfag seal of approval

Why do people seem to like Jaguars and Mustangs so much when they’re so much smaller than Stratocasters and other full size Fenders?

>>126786188
I just like it, I can't explain why
some people will say it's a manlet thing but I'm 6'3" and still find the Mustang very comfortable to play

>>126786188
cuz they aren't based enough for the classics

>>126786139
Another thing is each key contains three minor pentatonic boxes. In B minor it is E, F#, and B. In E minor it would be E, A, B. Which happen to be the root notes of the minor chords of the scale. So any time you play a minor chord you can jump to pentatonic riffs any time. Melding them together until you are not jumping anymore. And using open drone notes at times throughout. It's nice in funk playing to be able to play a riff and be able to move it three different places and keep the same pattern.

Get a cv. Upgrade to taste. Done.

>>126786188
idk maybe it's fun to own guitars in different sizes and configurations? I'd like a 3/4 acoustic and/or a travel bass myself

>>126786311

Stop trying to be nice, dummy

>>126786139
this is extremely helpful

>>126786188
They’re smaller but not really that much smaller. I took some measurements
Strat:
>39” overall height
>15 3/4” tall body bottom to neck heel
>9” wide body at the waist
>1 7/8” thick body
Mustang:
>40” overall height
>16 7/8” tall body bottom to neck heel
>8 1/2” wide body at the waist
>1 1/2” thick body
Super Sonic (don’t have a Jag but this is basically just an upside down Jag with different hardware and electronics):
>39 3/4” overall height
>16” tall body bottom to neck heel
>8 1/2” wide body at the waist
>1 7/8” thick body
Mustangs are lighter cuz they’re thinner and earlier ones were poplar (lighter wood, went to ash in the 70s and those are heavy), but Jags are in general the heaviest production Fender even though they’re a shorter scale cuz they’ve got more electronics and chrome. It’s a noticeable difference in feel going between the scale lengths but size wise they feel more similar than different (Super Sonic/Jag/JM body feels bigger than a Strat when playing, Mustang feels lighter but not too much smaller)

Enjoy my novel

if I replace the pickups and tuning machines on a Squier can I just call it a Fender at that point

>>126786350

I'm curious if the fret wire in squiers is substantially worse than American fenders and if it makes audible difference

>>126786368

No the neck is still cheap and the bridge makes a huge difference too

>>126786371
This one is Japanese and the neck and frets feel no different than the four total Japanese Fenders I’ve had, but with cheapo Squiers idk I’ve never spent much time with one

>>126785661
That seems like the least essential thing i could add to a multi effect like this but it is an interesting idea

You ok bro?

>>126786139
My problem is that I can read this but I'm still getting to the part where all of this is intrinsic knowledge, and to get there it will require a lot of memorization with scales which is where I'd been stuck trying to know what is and isn't just another mode of another existing scale (yes they're all modes of c major with a different starting position, but some are plainly the same series of modes just one fret up).

>>126786371
From what I've seen dudes on youtube describe wiring quality is roughly the same, squier still uses actual switches instead of PCB switches which fender does, and the only real thing holding you back is pickup quality, but some pickups (squier wide-range knockoffs) are within the ball park of the real fenders and you can skip a pickup swap

>>126786619

They sound fucking different. Loop a chord, then play a scale over it.

>>126786732

I wouldn't call gotoh stuff basic. That's better than the fender Gibson stuff

>>126786672
wait for reaper to count to 5 every time you turn it on

>>126786724
you realize you can set up the plug ins to turn on and off at whatever part you like right? as well as adjust any parameter they offer
now try turning the knobs on your physical pedal while you're playing

meat me by the bike racks after school, bring all your friends ill beat you both off

Yes but some of us play guitar for hours and not 6 minutes before putting it down to jack off to trannies you numbskull

>>126786844

>>126786844
it makes no difference the time its inconsequential.
Unless you have some 30+ lb guitar its not a factor.

This is a start, I have scottie's chart. I'm trying to know the major fretboard-wide scale patterns to start with instead of finishing one scale then going to another and finding out it's c major by another name.

At this point I'm close to just trying to memorize every note on the fretboard and going from there.

>memorize every note on the fretboard
If you haven't learned intervals already and can hear the next note before you play it, I would start there and then just memorize a handful of landmark note locations.

>>126787016
what if you screw on a bigsby on but keep the normal string through bridge, and the bigsby doesn't engage with the strings at all

>>126787039
Don't forget the truck nuts

>>126787017
above the cock.

>>126786810
The Bigsby on my LP stays in tune even when I go crazy on it. I think it comes down to the bridge. Instead of the strings moving over the saddles my whole bridge gently rocks back and forth on the post. That means it never binds up, and it can simply return back to zero. It's better than the rolling bridge I've tried, too.

That would be just fine, but why?

>>126787081
Nah, it boggles my mind, too. The only time it pulls out of tune is if the bridge doesn't quite settle to zero, but it's fixed if I just slap the Bigsby arm once.
I've got a softer spring coming in that should solve that anyways.
