How the greatest guitarists write their solos? Are they all able to do improvisation or they just write it paciently instead of just playing anything that sounds good?

Imagine if Bowie read the beato book

beato book

beato book = cringe
beat off book = based

My first guitar lessons went pretty well. The 1 hour format really helped instead of 30 minutes. Learned about 3 string chords, how to bar chords and part of a Beatles song. I probably won't finish learning eleanor Rigby cus it's a pretty gay song. I was trying to learn a duster song I like but I cant get my strings to stop ringing when I do open string notes. I'll keep at it after a little bass playing

does poly finish on a maple neck ever wear off?

>>126814159
no

>>126814167

First time with anything other than dirt pedals on my board in a very long time. I had way too much fun with the looper and delay today. The chorus you can squeeze out of the rubberneck is interesting.

Really fun song to play. Would like to cover this at some point.

never buying Ernire's balls, nice try

>scales can have 8 notes
My ears arent used to this, it sounds weird but it works.

How big of a deal is fret buzz to you on an electric when you can’t hear it through the amp? I’ve got a guitar with a really low cut nut because the previous owner filed the nut down super low instead of just shimming the neck, and now my D string buzzes when open and the E and A strings buzz on some fretted notes. I can only hear it acoustically, it sounds fine though the amp. It’s super annoying though and I’m debating driving nearly two hours each way to the nearest guitar tech to drop it off and have him replace the nut and just set it all up professionally while he’s got it.

>>126814720
Fret buzz is not okay. Ever.

Is this a scam?

Anyone here ever trade guitars in at a guitar shop? I’ve got a couple I don’t play much anymore and have been thinking of trading for something else. I know it’ll be a better deal to sell on my own but I don’t want to ship and selling locally sucks.

>>126814720
>I’m debating driving nearly two hours each way to the nearest guitar tech to drop it off and have him replace the nut and just set it all up professionally while he’s got it.
Its going to bother you until you do. Quit putting it off

Im finally either muting the strings or playing soft enough that my strings don't ring when I practice guitar scales. Feels fucking great man

>>126814139
If you're taking lessons, you're NGMI

>>126814720
Shouldn't buzz when open unless you're aggressively picking. Buzzing when fretting within the first octave is normal. Electric guitars that are set to factory string height and have perfect frets and setup buzz. 90% of the songs you love have fret buzz in them.

>>126814720
For me its tactile. I feel the buzz through my palm and it pisses me off.

>>126814840
nice

>>126813802 (OP)
Got rid of those noisy stock pickups and replaced them with some of those dual rail humbuckers.
I'm loving it.
What's that 60 cycle hum? I can't hear you!
Next project is modding my other Tele with some stacked p90's.

Why yes I am a telecaster appreciator thank you for asking

agreed shecter bro

If its not tuned to standard its not a real song.

>>126815311
A lot of brands are way better these days, it makes no sense to own a useless piece of forniture. They even have extremely expensive models if you are not right in the head.

I asked this before but is there any way to file down sharp fret ends without having to refinish the entire neck

>>126815336
Painters tape over everything but the fret. go slow

>>126815343
The edges are tiny I'm sure I'm still gong to chip the paint somehow

Do unplugged electric guitars sound similar to acoustic guitars? I mostly practice my guitar unplugged and I'm wondering how much it sounds like an acoustic

>>126815634
Not at all

>>126815336

or you can buy guards seperately

https://vocaroo.com/14AFR9x6Auf4

>>126815634
It sounds maybe 10% as loud with zero bass

>>126815628
Yeah if it was an old one I wouldn't care, but it's basically pristine so I'm trying to not fuck it up too much

>>126815692
gotta hold the notes longer bud

>>126815336
go watch a couple twoodfrd videos where he does fret jobs

>>126815711
Yes but I'm talking about the sound not the volume

>>126815848
No it sounds completely different, you are hearing the wood on an acoustic, certain frequencies are damped and certain ones are amplified depending on bracing and material.

warming up the tubes (its 5 am)

>>126815482
Modern strat body, jumbo frets, ebony fretboard, . OH you mean brand? fucking lol LOL the BRAND what's my favorite BRAND? Certainly not garbage like Fender or Gibson.

>>126815878
>certainly not what the entire world imagines when they think of guitar

My favorite Brand is Charvel USA Select ™. Now post 3 of them champ.

>>126815909
>certainly not what the entire world imagines when they think of guitar

Correct.

>>126815919
i bet u can't play for beans

Why would I need more than one guitar?

What does learning the fretboard tell you? Like knowing the 1st string on the 5th string is an A note, does this help you make good music?

>>126815953
No, but it helps you understand music and to collaborate with others, If I tell you were are jamming in A you should be able to lock in without me telling you anything else.

>>126815950

I’m thinking about selling my Les Paul. I just like my F style guitars more. For humbuckers I like my Tele Deluxe more and for P90s I like my partscaster more, but it feels wrong not having a Les Paul.

>>126815960
>If I tell you were are jamming in A you should be able to lock in without me telling you anything else
What does that mean? Like the root note should be A?

>>126816142

With modern CNC technology, Squier and Epiphone are just as good as Fender and Gibson custom shops. Prove me wrong.

>>126816101
Stop using it into a clean amp, push it into a crunchy amp for a lead tone.

>>126816132
I watched Chicago Dan eat a half eaten hot dog someone threw away, had a bunch of stuff stuck to it and he just brushed it off and insisted it was still good.

>>126816163

No.

Squiers do not hold a setup.

some people are hurt by me owning this and are so delusional they think this is a bad guitar.
not only is it the most hi fidelity sounding instrument i own. it is the the nicest in terms of quality and playability.

>>126816228
>Squiers do not hold a setup.
my squier is better than my MIM fender.. im actually selling the fender and keeping the squier

>>126816233
Its not and the fact that you try so hard to convince everyone it is just makes me giggle with delight.

>>126816233
You paid 3 thousand dollars for a guitar with less wood, you got scammed

>>126817166
Subtle overdrive. The kind where you can't hear the distortion unless you play a little harder. More bass eq, less treble. The closer you stum to the mid point of the fretted note and bridge, the more mellow, rounded and glassy(?) sounding it gets. A lot can be accomplished by the way you play the guitar (if you play acoustic a decent amount, you might know what I mean). But alot can be accomplished with the settings on your equipment, too. When you use both avenues together you can alter your tone significantly. I would suggest playing your acoustic and seeing how much you can alter the tone by how you physically play it. Picking close to the bridge is a higher treble sound. Closer to the middle of the fret board is less treble. You can slightly mute strings as you strum (with the pad of your hand), creating a low harmonic chugging sound (not palm muting, it is strumming and having the pad of your hand brush the strings at almost the same time as the pick). Neil Young would do this alot. A good example of this is the Massey Hall performance in 71'. Listen to cowgirl in the Sand from that album. Some electric guitar tones are such that it cuts off the subtleties. That isn't a bad thing, but being aware of the point you are choking off these qualities is useful. Even with high gain you want to be able to change the distortion level with the dynamics you are playing with.

>>126817166
Impossible. Jags are nasally and harsh. Switch it out for a Tele or a JM.

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?

>>126817166

Best electric/rock/blues guitar, maybe. As a company I would say Gibson's best guitar is going to be an archtop jazzbox or flattop acoustic.

>>126817392

>>126816269
Scale length makes a huge difference and can't be replicated without the real thing. Other than that, you're probably right.

I've discovered that 1 watt is basically your limit in an apartment. lol

>>126816269
There's lots of different reasons to have more than one guitar. Anon above mentioned scale length, which has massive implications on timbre, and so does pickup type. Differences in bridges like trem or hardtail make big differences in what tunings you can use. And some times a guitar just looks cool and you need it.

>>126817392
this would sound sick with some distortion

>>126817887
https://voca.ro/182PqzsWZdyu

I can't decide which pedals to go for. I have a laney lx12 extreme the use them on and I'll be playing mainly metallica/megadeth/maiden on it. Looking at those cheap behringer/benton/joyo pedals for the most part, 3-4 of them tops. Definitely wanna get a tube screamer clone and maybe some reverb, but beyond that I'm really not sure what else to go for.

I've played guitar for years and I've never felt compelled to get new amps or effects, I only ever bought more guitars

>>126816323
what a vibe, a bit repetitive though, I feel like the progression should go a bit deeper instead of repeating for so long.

>>126817996
What do you play? It makes sense if you scored a good one from the start.

>>126817996
That's how I was too, mostly cause broke but since playing on pc, you don't need much else. But nowadays I wanna have some physical effects, makes it super easy to switch from clean to dirty and such. And much simpler to use when out of town.

>>126818050

>>126818189
I did it that way before but I don't wanna borrow the laptop again and I wanna take my laney out this time. Also I wanna be able to switch effects mid song and play without headphones, both of which I couldn't really on the laptop.

Do you guys know any good picking exercises?

I can't do any of the shit that's in every solo

My squishier spring for my Bigsby arrived, and it's an immense improvement over the more rigid stock one. Would definitely recommend trying a softer spring out if you've got a Bigsby.

>>126818796
then do it 2000 more times until you get it

Holy shit I'm an idiot, you are suppose to put move your index finger back on the pick so that the bottom part contacts your thumb so you actually form a grip on it. I can strum forever now without the pick rotating.

How are you supposed to do slides that don't specify a start point? 7/9 is easy, but /9 I have no idea where to go from.

>>126818988
It won't

>>126819160
Really anywhere but it should be close by and done really quickly
At least that's always how I've interpreted it

>>126819160
doesn't matter. If you're doing legato or slides you can gloss over notes that don't fit if you get to your spot at the end. If you're going to emphasize the start then using your ear would be good.

>>126819160
When it's written like that, pick the note when your finger is in the MIDDLE of sliding not at the start of the slide, the position of the start of slide doesn't really matter

Order it off Sweetwater to get the free candy.
Unironically, though, getting stuff from Sweetwater usually works out cheaper for me in the states because they don't charge sales tax for whatever reason (even for their used gear section). I don't know if it's legal, but I ain't complaining.

>>126820079
>looking at the quad cortex again
don't. They are prioritizing getting plugins (read: paid DLC) into the machine instead of new effects/amps/QoL features. Their paid DLC isn't even that much better than the stock models on the device in teh first place.

There's been SIX MONTHS with no update. Their communication is garbage and they keep making promises that never get delivered. Meanwhile the unit is pretty bare-bones in terms of FX compared to the competition.

t.Quad Cortex user of 3 years. If I could turn back time I would have gotten an Axe FX III instead. The new Helix stadium stuff sounds good too.

What scale should I use to go with a rhythm in G minor? More G minor? G phrygian? I want something spooky and haunting

>>126820354
just ask chatGPT

>>126820180
Sweetwater lets you keep your profits entirely if you transfer it to store credit. I don't know what the percentage is otherwise, but I doubt it's worse than Reverb.

D phrygian shares all the same notes as G minor. If I wanted "spooky" I'd try out (Eb) locrian though, these are modes in G minor and you can modulate out of it if you want (a good option for spooky). To me phrygian sounds more angry than spooky.

if it's got one of those fat jacks on both ends, it'll be fine. i think you can get ones with a jack on one end, and a usb cable on the other to plug into a computer without an adapter.

Is it me or does mahogany actually resonate more? I swear, it vibrates more than the sunburst. Doesn't sound better though. Single coils > Humbuckers, but I needed an HB git again.

>>126821365
Mahogany guitars that I've played have aways sounded warmer and darker than other woods

>>126821406
Well, this is darker too, but I chalk that up to pups. I can just feel it on my knees when playing a bit and it sounds great unplugged.

Just make sure you get an instrument cable. When I first started playing, the bozo at guitar center sold me a speaker cable with my guitar/combo amp, noisy as hell.

>>126821434
>it sounds great unplugged.
This is the secret to buying solid bodies. Play it for a few minutes before plugging it in so you can hear how well it "projects" acoustically and so you can feel the resonance.

>>126821490
NTA but I found this to be true when I got my LP. Its alive in my hands as I play it, I feel it resonating against my body. If I pull the EVH trick and set it on a table it projects like a tiny amp.
It's not just solid-bodies, I was watching a luthier video about classical guitars and at a certain price point you see a phenomenon where they are alive and vibrating even when sitting in a stand. They are so well-built that they are always reacting to every vibration in the room. You can feel someone talking nearby through your palm, it's wild.

>>126821574
Well, it's a keeper. I'm enjoying just strumming it. It's got a few superficial dings, but this is nice. Mahogany grain looks pretty cool on a Strat too.

>>126821735
I personally really like mahogany, the D-18 is mahogany and it sounds warm and incredible. And most of gibson's current stock is using it too.

>>126821735
Holy shit, I just noticed that plastic layer is still on it. This is a 2007 guitar. lol

Any songs like eleanor Rigby that use 3 string chords that are easy to play? I dont really like this song and I'm struggling with it

>>126820781
It's used seldom, even for spooky, because it sounds so odd (the root doesn't even have a natural fifth). If you haven't learned it yet, it's literally the major scale except you start on 7th before the root, or another way of describing it would be phrygian except the fifth is lowered a half step.

>>126821767
kek when I put a loaded pickguard in my strat with new pickups, i forgot to take the plastic cover off the pick guard before screwing it down, and then it wouldn't come off cleanly. i have to take it completely off to get the little bits and pieces of plastic stuck around the screws.
im just being lazy about it but it looks like shit.

>>126821767
take it off, slut

>>126821767
False alarm. Just looks like remnants of it.

>>126821574
>where they are alive and vibrating even when sitting in a stand
Yes exactly, acoustics and hollow bodies are more prone to this obviously. Ive used and seen this technique used in recording before, throw a mic or two on an acoustic in a stand and let it project the sympathetic frequencies its picking up. I mentioned solid bodies specifically though because they don't have the advantage of giant pockets of air to help it along. Sometimes the ingredients come together just right and you get a standout instrument from a run of seemingly identical units. Its one of the reasons Im weird about buying guitars without playing them first.

>>126821805
Its definitely still there, I can see it above the neck pickup too. Scratch it with a fingernail, I know you want to

>>126821877
this, the previous owner kept her virgin for you anon... ravage her...

>>126821877
I'm trying. It's weird. It looks like that stuff, but it must not be. It's gonna bug me now.

>>126821794
you just need to back the screws out a couple of turns

>>126821934
Ah shit thats the special resonance coating

>>126816159
I'm a comolete retard but if I understand well when they tell you they play in A it means if you know some some scales, you should play it starting on an A note and if you play the notes in the scale or turn them into chords they'll sound good. And with scales you can kinda copypaste them after each other so if you need to beef up the low notes or get some higher ones you can extend the key by just going further on the scale in one direction

>>126822120
Eh, whatever. I'll probably get a new pg anyway. Sort of planned on this being a project guitar, but wanted a good base to work with. Right now, it's got the Jimmy Vaughn Tex Mex and a Diamondback HB. I like the Tex Mex, but the HB is OK. Apparently they used to make it to couple with the Tex Mex.

For some of these you will have to drop the root or bottom of the chord if you insist on only playing on the tremble strings. The songs vary in difficulty but are within reach if you want to learn it bad enough.

>>126816159
>>126822205
More often than not it means A major scale, and all relative scales apply just as well,
A Major(Ionian)
B Dorian
C# Phrygian
D Lydian
E Mixolydian
F# Locrian (it's unlikely to ever be a tonal center)
G# Minor(Aeolian)
Now, for all major modes here(Ionian, Lydian, Mixolydian), you might sometimes shift to their actual major scale, and minor ones (Dorian, Phrygian, Aeolian) you might use notes from actual Aeolian minor scale. Borrowing from those will result in dissonance and you have to keep track of what is actually being played at a given time.

bass player here. do whatever you want little guitar bro, I’ll make sure you sound good

>>126823303
Lol after struggling with guitar for a long time I picked up bass and I'm having way more fun. For some reason learning a scale here doesn't feel like getting a zipbomb in my brain and with slower songs I can just slowly chug along if I find some decent notes. Maybe I'll finally learn some theory and get decent

>>126822708
Are F# and G# switched here? All the others are in order of the A major scale, which I've never seen spelled out like that before. I thought it had suddenly made sense, but those are the wrong way round, so I'm not so sure.

>>126823278

Cool. I can't believe I've never seen it put like that before. It makes a lot more sense that way. Usually it's all the modes of a note.

>>126823369
it’s a good starting point but in my experience in a band setting your job as a bassist is much more strict than a guitarist, so playing at a high level is much more challenging for me than guitar

Root note and the following 7 steps then the root again, usually over two repetitions of the scale in the pattern for a six-string mode

Gonna trade my SG standard for an American Preformer Tele with humbucker in the neck

I've been watching videos where they play the same riff on different kinds of guitars (strat, tele, lp etc.) or the same riff on guitars at different price points. They all sound pretty much the same to me. Do I have dumb dumb ears, or are guitars a scam that are all the same?

My tremolo springs are tuned to G

>>126823741
you should hear some difference. can you post an example video

>>126823741
those videos are dumb. expensive guitars feel better, that's what you're paying for.

>>126823741
I get what you mean. They all sound different but in ways that don't matter. I've always been of the persuasion that you can make due with what you got as long as it plays well. In the end they all sound like a guitar because that's what it is.

>parents bought me an American Pro II Strat for my 25th birthday
>great guitar, wonderful gift, have never gotten a gift as expensive as that
>but I’ve already got a Strat I like more
>thinking about selling the birthday gift Strat to fund another guitar I want more

There is a slight difference, but not enough when there's 100s of dollars difference in price.

>>126823855
you don't sell a birthday guitar, man

>>126823882
he’s playing on the bridge pickup with crunch/distortion in all of those. worst case scenario for hearing the difference between guitars. to really hear the difference you want to be relatively clean or strumming at least. check out this video it’s a les Paul with coil tap which is basically making it a single coil. You should be able to hear this difference
https://youtu.be/LjwJUzujNe8

>>126823741
I can buy a guitar at a premium price point and know that it more than likely doesnt need to be touched outside of setting it up with new strings and a different tuning. Cheaper guitars can sometimes need much more attention which is fine if you're into leveling/crowning/polishing frets, adjusting necks, etc. People often justify cheaper guitars by just upgrading the electronics and hardware along the way. Id rather just avoid that. Not to say you cant overpay for a complete shitplank, but the quality control is usually much higher.

HSH > HSS > HH > SSS

>>126824106
SS beats them all, especially if they’re P90s

Anybody with a Jackson JS32?
Where I live, the only options with 24 frets that I have are Jackson, shecter and ibanez but those two only have strats and I find the shape very boring
Jackson X and Pro models are built with floyd rose only and I want something that I can change the tuning on the fly...
So here's my idea
Buy a JS32 king v and put a decent pick up on it and give it a really good set up
Should I do it or not
Don't ignore please lol
(LOCAL MARKET IS FUCKED BY THE WAY, CHIBSONS AND COPIES ALL AROUND)

HS > everything else

>>126824226
are you talking about the model with a tremolo or the hardtail?

>>126824226
cheap guitars are fine just change the tuners. biggest problem you have to watch out for on poverty guitars are twisted necks. there is no fixing that, but those are bolt on necks anyway

>>126822832
>>126822941
I wouldn't go that thick. I use 10s on 25.5 scale and 11s feel perfect on 24.75, even in e flat. Just not sure for the low strings. I like 52 on my Jackson so I might just go for it on the LP as well.

True SS

>>126824254
Hardtail definitely, not messing with a floyd
>>126824276
Should I kill it with grover or is there another decent (and cheaper) brand?

>>126824371
>Hardtail definitely, not messing with a floyd
I have the Rhoads, its a good guitar, you probably won't even have to change the pups, they're good too
Do you plan to get the red or black King V? Looks like they don't offer other colors with a hardtail

>>126824106
HSS.
Humbucker neck pickup sounds like muddy shit

>>126824371
I always buy name brand personally. I’m sure there’s a cheaper option out there I just don’t know what it is

>>126824408
Nice thank you man
I only trust people from here...
I'm getting the black one, wish it was matte but we can't have it all after all
The Ivory Rhoads looks pretty nice ngl but I prefer things to be symmetrical
>>126824422
I will get them then... Thanks!

>>126824445
The RRs have a balance issue, the neck is heavier than the body. there are fixes for that but...
iirc the King V doesn't have that problem

>>126824445
you can wait to see how bad the stock tuners are first. sometimes they’re ok, I just know the last two strings on a Jackson headstock are kind of stressed out

>>126818754
