I just can't into the stratocaster. It feels so wimpy.

Im using a shitty JOYO amp that only has volume, tone and gain settings, anyone else use something similar and how should I set it up for rock

What effects will you leave on when you hang yourself, anon?

>>126800487
Wimpy as in "it's not fucking metal enough"? Yeah well no, who cares, just put decent pickups ain your strat and make some dirty as fuck rock 'n' roll.
The secret sauce in my strat is a 25kOhm (not 250kOhm) tone pot that reaaaally changes the sound like night and day. Ironically it was the last tone pot the shop had in stock and the only one that fit into the hole in the body. Bless these guys they were super fucking nice on top of that.
Strats are cool, when they're built to be so.

>>126800559
No, I don't mean the sound. I mean when I pick the thing up the physical form of it feels wimpy.

>>126800559
What is a tone pot?

>>126800595

>>126800559
humbuckers work better than strats for most rock music....strats are rnb funk, disco, soul percussive guitars

I'm working on my guitar scales today. Slowly getting better at fingering but switching between looking at my picking hand vs fretting hand is killing me. It's hard to keep track of where the pick is sometimes.

Does anyone own a hardshell case? The 'Gator GWE-ELEC' arrived today, never had one before, and I noticed it puts some pressure on the red circle when closed, it's very snug and it takes some pressing down in order to fully close the case. I see that it's designed to secure the guitar so it doesn't move, but I wonder if this can damage my 7 string. Perhaps I'm overthinking it and it's normal.

>>126801119
just loosen the strings every time you store it if you're that worried.

>>126801119
That's normal. I've got a few hardshell cases, and they all exert some level of pressure on the components such as the switch tips, knobs, and bridge. My LP with a Bigsby is probably the one that takes the most force, but it's really nothing to worry about. The top of the shell is plush and will deform hence why you can see impressions left in it.

>>126801119
How much space is between the lid and case before you push it down to close it?

Are the chromatic exercises a waste of time? You know the ones

>>126801119
how much movement is there in the top material?
can you jam a finger in as deep as the furthest part of the bridge extends into the top half of the case?
if you can I would not be concerned. the case will eventually mold to the hardware. just pull the switch tip anytime you are in a situation where you might stack something on the case or check it as luggage on a plane.

>>126801314
no

>>126800973
>delegating each guitar to a certain sonic role instead of just playing what you want when you want
shiggy diggy doo

>>126801314
they're good warmup exercises. you want your hand/wrist to feel loose before you actually start playing for long periods of time.

>>126801296
>>126801343
The gap is a little over a centimeter on that side, whereas on the headstock side there's no gap. Good point about the switch.

>>126801314

>>126801314
Don't start questioning the validity of traditional exercises just because they're boring.
You have to put in the work.

>>126801888
I can see how it can get tedious if you introduce an exercise under the pretext that you will do it every day, and then another, and another, and another... And then you have to ask yourself, do I do horizontal chromatic scales aka warmup, then vertical chromatic scales aka spiders, then pentatonic scales, then 3 nps in all positions, then arpeggio starting on every scale degree, and then my practice is over without playing a single riff other than drills.

>>126801026
bro those are standard jazzmaster pickups

>>126801908
But that was practice.
Now you did all that, you get to jam.

Slowly getting better at my scales. I got up to 70bpm but I'm still getting extra ringing from strings. My fingers are starting to get it though

>>126803308
You have that board for scales?

What are nps?

>>126803308
You own all that equipment, but can't play a scale with quarter notes at 70bpm?

Definitely Jazzmaster. Easy tells are the four screws on the top and bottom and no screws on the pole pieces.

>>126803371
Yes, just asking that anon saying they’re P90s if he really thinks they’re P90s

>>126803319
Mostly for my bass eventually I'll be good enough to play so I got pedals to try.

>>126803363
I can play my bass just fine. I just got my guitar Friday. Those pedals were just for my bass until Friday when I pulled the trigger.

>>126803482
Right on, I never effected my bass beyond a slight chorus or fuzz for some songs.
Guess I'm not a very imaginative bass player lol

You guys actually practice scales to a metronome? How about instead of mindlessly going up and down the scale you try to create a different ascending and descending pattern? You know, try to make it slightly musical?
https://voca.ro/1aGWJhc40wMI

>>126803517
That's not the point. The point is to build muscle memory and begin training the ear for intervals off the maj and min scale.
Being musical should be a different part of your practice session.

>>126803025
jazzmaster pickups are single-coil not p90s

I'm literally better off just springing the extra 400$ for a new gibson SG at this point

>>126803610
They're both p90s. The difference is p90s use bar magnets while the jazzmaster uses magnetized pole pieces.

>>126803624

How the fuck did bowie come up with some of the riffs in his diamond dogs album

>>126803706
He didnt his guitarist did

>>126803718
Wrong
Bowie composed pretty much all of sweet thing and candidate i believe which is some of his best work

>>126803766
>>126803706
bowie steals but he is also a genius at knowing what to steal and to make his own

>>126803770
Please explain what he stole for Diamond Dogs (musically and lyrically, don't talk about 1984)

Even so, art is derivative, there's a reason everyone knows Led Zeppelin but no one knows the black blues musicians they 'stole' from

>>126803779
The name Carlos Alomar pops up.

>>126803624
No they’re not, P90s are P90s and Jazzmaster pickups are Jazzmaster pickups.

>>126803779
Also rebel rebel, arguably the most iconic riff on the album, was written by Alan Parker

>>126803718
He didn’t have a guitarist for Diamond Dogs, Ronson had left the band at that point and Bowie did all the guitars on the record minus some on 1984 and some on Rebel Rebel.

>>126803844
Thats the ai response. Do some more digging. He had session guitar players. And he was composing it as he went to im assuming there was alot of input from the studio musicians. He was rewriting as he went because he failed to get 1984 rights , which was supposed to be the original album, and converted it into his new them known as diamond dogs. A post apocalyptic street gang.

Tldr youre wrong.

>>126803867
I honestly don’t care who played what on that record. I like Bowie but his glam era isn’t my favorite. Low is when it starts really getting good for me, and Scary Monsters is my favorite Bowie record. Basically once he and Iggy went to yurop to attempt to get clean is when Bowie’s work starts hitting me good.

Follow the thread I corrected myself the very next post. I meant they were both single-coils.

>come up with a catchy little lick
>no idea what to do after it
how do you take a handful of notes and turn them into a song?

>>126804564
Learn song structure for the genre you're playing and learn about diatonics and relative keys so you can design changes.

>>126804564
Another option is to try humming or whistling the lick and see if something comes naturally after, then transcribe it.

How is songwriting different for something like country where it's just an acoustic guitar vs with a band where there is multiple guitars, drums, etc?
I guess my question is, how should I write the music for a song if it's just me performing on an acoustic?

>>126804581
>>126804607
good advice, i'll keep at it

>>126804616
Well, a good session musician can play over anything you give him. You just write your part for the acoustic and if you ever get someone who can play another instrument they will pretty much just know what is needed for the song and where to put it.
Start riffing in front of a drummer and watch how fast he locks into your groove and will even change the groove if you can't hold it.

https://youtu.be/3ZtUnD2r3xg?si=aJCGFVk82P8M0XR6&t=374

>>126804616
Learn some one man country songs and copy what they do.

Maybe it's because guitar is new for me but I have been doing scales all day and I completely forgot to play my bass. I want to play bass but I cant stop thinking about guitar now. Does this happen to everyone who goes from bass to guitar?

https://voca.ro/1xBuiRuTFsMq

>>126804629
>they will pretty much just know what is needed for the song
How do I learn this power? Just years of playing?

>>126804667
>years of playing
won't amount to anything
you need years of playing in a band (or actual talent)

>>126804667
You just keep learning licks and riffs, you can move those patterns roots to change the key.
Every genre has a toolkit they draw from, once you learn the common licks in a genre you can see how everyone else built off those common licks to make something unique or literally they just use the common lick and call it a day.
Same way you learned language, you learned words and their orders and you can tell what comes next without me even it

https://voca.ro/1fGDS63iO8HD

>>126804667
Music theory will help with this. I know it's a dirty word on here but if you really want that power you need to learn WHY some things work and others don't.

>>126804687
>playing in a band
I'm autistic
>>126804729
What's the necessary must learn of theory?

are there cheap pedal brands? like a harley benton, or washburn of pedals

>>126804690
>pattern roots
What does this mean

>>126804750
>What's the necessary must learn of theory?
You need to do interval training to be able to recognize intervals so you can follow along by ear. You need to learn the major and minor scales so you know the diatonics of each key to keep up with changes, Learn the basics of the circle of 5ths (its a rabbit-hole). And then you need to practice the fuck out of it all so that it becomes natural to follow while you're playing.
There are musicians that play by ear and feel but they rarely have the ability to play intelligently with other musicians. Music theory is a language designed for collaboration.

>>126804771
If you're playing C pentatonic and learn that shape, you can move up a fret, and now it's C# pentatonic. Move it four up, and it's E pentatonic.
It's the same with riffs. Play Smells Like Teen Spirit a few frets up, and it's the same riff, just in a different key.
The patterns are all the same, you're just changing the root.
I assume that's what was meant.

>>126805464
Not perfect yet but considerably better than it was previously. I can flutter and be in tune just fine and I can dive bomb and the strings will be about a quarter to a third of a semitone off (way better than expected for a non locking floating vibrato, I never ever divebomb so that’s plenty good enough for me). Pulling up on the vibrato gets it all out of tune still but just about every single forum post about these vibratos everyone says they don’t work well going up in pitch, only down. Basically for just subtle vibrato use which is what I only ever use it for anyway on the guitars I’ve got that have a vibrato it’s fine and that’s great.

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?

They are low-pass filters, in rheostat form.

Is there ANY top mounted tremolo system (as in no springs in the back) that's actually good?

>>126807420
sounds like a robot, cool riff.

>>126807425

?

So they don't flow?

>"Genuine Floyd Rose"
Brother I took a peak at the legit official Floyd Rose website, the floyd on the SS260 isn't genuine at all...
>https://youtu.be/O9d3agYMTqY?si=UKOPjgKGR5WxNk49
The pickups sound like total ass, but that's my opinion, I would change them. The only thing that would make an SBS better than a Jackson JS Series for instance is if they have stainless steel frets, which I'm not even sure about.
You're gonna have to mod that bitch right away. Are you ready to spend double you did on that guitar to make it worth something? Why not buy a Jackson X Series, if you don't plan on modding your SBS?

>>126807430
No, but some of them look cool enough to make up for it.

>>126807448
>low-pass
They let the low freqs. pass through and filter out more and more of the highs as you turn them up.
>rheostat
rotary dials.

>>126807430
Probably Floyd Rose, directly off their website. I assume they're the American counterpart of Schaller in terms of quality. I can only assume, I'm not an American't.

>>126807468
So our guy here>>126800559
put an extra knob?

>>126807470
They use springs too.

>>126807476
I mean in the back. I'm assuming he's asking about something like Bigsby or JM stuff.

>>126807460
I plan on swapping the pickups to something like the evh pickups or super distortion. First floyd rose guitar so I really want to learn the floyd until i replace that. Probably replace electronics if there shitty. Do you think the harley benton fusion 3 or the fusion max are better options? They come with a floyd rose 1000 i believe but are around 100 bucks more.

>>126807476
>>126807482
Wait I don't get it. Question is "is there any *top mounted* *trem* system that doesn't suck"?
But so yeah Bigsby and JM make top-mounted *vibratos* but fren here asked for a trem. Not the same purpose. On a vibrato you "wooowooow", whereas on a trem you "wowowowowow".

>>126807476
>>126807482
I was thinking about picrel.

>>126807498
I guess I'll let him explain himself. I'm fine with a Strat trem, personally. Better with a roller nut. It's not perfect, but good enough for me. FRs just seem like a pain in the ass.

>>126807498

do you usually practice scales vertically or diagonally?

whats the difference between a jizzmeister and a strat?

>>126807498
this guy is a fucking nerd

>>126807502
Looks cool, how do these work?

>>126807812
I guess you have to screw that shit in place and adjust the big spring at the end to balance the tension as with any other floyd. I don't know how reliable these bitches are. If anything it looks less tedious to set up than an OG floyd, but not as versatile.
As long as you can *wowowowowow* I guess it's alright.
>>126807799
When I listen to your vocaroos you can damn well call me a nerd. You guys feel no shame.

Reminder that Eddie did that first album on a regular Strat trem. All those deep dives he did was just his technique for getting back in tune apparently. lol. I like to do a little up and down dive, depending on what the last one was. Somehow it works...for awhile.

Dropping a tonebucker into a strat was a crime. Sorry, Eddie.

They say conservatives can't create art, but this guy flies in the face of all of it.
That said, I've never heard his playing.

>>126810443

Dave Mustaine
John Milius

>>126810443
Yep you gotta guzzle cum down your gullet and up your bhole in order to make art

>>126810443
>>126810568
They are hardly guys you can call conservative. Lynch is a berniebro, Mustaine used to smoke weed and was generally an alcoholic criminal before turning to Christ, and Milius is fucking bonkers man.
Conservative guitarists are rather Kid Rock and Ted Nuggent...

>>126810752
Johnny Ramone is all we need

>They are hardly guys you can call conservative. Lynch is a berniebro, Mustaine used to smoke weed and was generally an alcoholic criminal before turning to Christ, and Milius is fucking bonkers man.

Conservative doesn't mean some specific GOP platform. Or religious per se. I doubt Nugent is that religious himself. He just doesn't want to be fucked around with and his guns taken. Mustaine was always libertarian even in his younger days. That's why they used to put him on MTV's "Rock the Vote" shit, since he provided an opposing voice to usual stuff. Him and Kennedy alike (who's now on Fox News as you know).

>>126810869
just move the goalposts where-ever you want senpai

>>126810895
What goalposts? You realize “conservative” doesn’t mean “the Republican Party in the USA”?

what is everyone's "go to" delay pedal, or the one they're currently using and why?

>>126810895
I never agreed or set any goalposts. I'm telling you a fact. He used to be on Rock the Vote as the libertarian voice. It happened. As in, in actual reality and has nothing to do with me 30 years later.
As for thinking conservatives are a specific sort of religious thing, that's sounds like a personal problem. I never even mentioned religion. You did. We were talking about David Lynch.

>>126810935
I guess conservative is whatever you say it is and don't like and liberal is everything great in the world.

>>126810895

>>126810869
>>126810935
>>126810982
He's right bruv. Start defining things by what they are instead of what they aren't. You're entertaining the confusion that eventually serves your or other people's interests. It's dishonest at worst and stupid at best.
I cited conservative artists, I don't understand how you can argue that they aren't just because you yourself are probably a conservative who doesn't take full responsibility.

>>126810792
So Johnny Ramone it is then. Loved his solo on "I Wanna Be Sedated'

>>126810752
>Mustaine used to smoke weed and was generally an alcoholic criminal

How does that exactly isolate him from being conservative?


>Milius is fucking bonkers

He may well be, but he directed one of the most "capitalist realism" pictures ever in Red Dawn, not to mention that his other two well known films are choke full of white supremacy and "how good things used to be before..".


>Kid Rock

Ah yes, Kid Rock, known guitarist

You dumb faggots can't even write a good lick. Work on that before attempting politics.

>>126811104
there are no new licks. all been done

If your political definitions are going to remain fluid, you may as well make yourself useful and plot dave's political worldviews on a timeline next to Megadeth albums.

The rest of your political semantics yapping is asinine.

>>126811128
>semantics

Those are quite essential facts we mentioned.

>>126811032
>I cited conservative artists, I don't understand how you can argue that they aren't
I never said anyone wasn't conservative that was listed. If there's any confusion, it's your own fault. Not once did I disagree that Ted Nugent or Kid Rock weren't conservative either. If anything, they're more along the lines of earlier ones mentioned: Milius and Mustaine.
The only thing I told you is get off the little hangup about religion. That's not conservatism. And thinking Mustaine only became conservative because of religion is just dumb.
If anything, the "paragon" of conservative thinkers was Thomas Jefferson himself. And he was one of the least religiously inclined of his time. Why he is a Paragon is the same reason Alexander Hamilton is the Paragon of liberals. It's how they viewed the reach of government.

>>126811117

>blanket politics
>buh buh I get to define everything in very specific ways and control all the framework
keep up the great work

>>126811090
I need to clarify because I wasn't explicit enough in that Mustaine, since he became Born Again, sucks absolute ass. Can't be considered an artist anymore. But yeah when he was a stoner he did some okay shit for the most part.
Milius just doesn't count. He's not serious enough. He does conservative stuff but he's an anarchist (= believes in fairy tales).
>>126811128
Good point. That was my thought process. Mustaine stopped doing genuine good art the moment he became a legit conservative.
>>126811176
I never mentioned religion and I don't know who Thomas Jefferson or Alexander Hamilton are.
I'm just saying: stop moving the goalposts, start defining things by what they are instead of loosely defining them by what they aren't. You're entertaining a confusion.
I guess it's the typical American way of thinking. In Europe we call this "confusionism".

>>126810960
My advice would be use any delay you find. Unlike dirt pedals there's little to fawn over with echo pedals.

Skrewdriver is pretty good leftist punk.

>>126811227
There's no "confusion" or even much a debate. Post above said Mustaine only became conservative when he became religious. Let me it be clear: This is fucking stupid. You should not be confused about this at all. It's absolutely dumb and not based in any fact. He was the "token" libertarian in the 90s for MTV. That's on record, well before anything religious.

>>126800973
When the propaganda hits

>>126811342
There is no difference between libertarian and conservative when it comes to reddit users. The only difference they might acknowledge is that libertarians tend to be less religious.
So in a bafflingly retarded way, that anon is correct, at least by reddit standards. EDIT: THANKS FOR THE GOLD, KIND STRANGER!

I hate the feds regardless of what party is in charge. The fede are never on your side. Remember Randy Weaver; Tim McVeigh did nothing wrong. I want to buy an EBMM Stingray or Cutlass.

Hey Alan,

The conservative guitarist for the coverband shit his pants at the bbq. Luckily I had the jag-stang you sold me in the car. I told the band, "Anything but country or metal and I'm your guy." We played a 40 minute set and everyone was getting drunk and dancing. I'll put few more items in the chart tonight, bud! I might have to pull the trigger on that line 6 so I can unlock all the tones quick for this rockin socialist coverband and our upcoming tour (defacing synagogues).

>>126812285
Speaking of jagstangs how are they? They look so weird.

I'm gonna buy a bass guitar and exclusively play it with a bow and none of you can stop me.

No way, there are two kinds of fuzzes, fuzz faces and muffs. They all sound the same within their groups, but different from another group.
