ANOTHER TURNING POINT A FORK STUCK IN THA ROAD

>>126860577
no fuck that, guitar uses D# because E and A are the most common keys. Even chatgpt agrees with me so sorry you're wrong.

>>126860676
Hey there chief nice pickin'

>>126860913
Thanks. Yes it's getting a different guitar part in chorus that is more dynamic. Those are all scratch vocal tracks and will get redone of course.
I'm happy with how the solo sounds. After mixing it's gonna be epic

>>126860676
who invited the pro to gg?

>>126860985
If you post in /gg/ you're already a pro my guy :)

>>126860982
>>126860826
Yeah keep the solo its good.

>>126860676

Hey man I need a little flamenco kinda ditty like this for the beginning of a song I am working on. I want it to sound like Al DiMeola for about :45 of free form riffing before the song starts. You've got great chops. Is that something you are interested in?

Anyone collect guitars here?

whats the most valuable item in your collection?

Also another question. Are tube amps dying/becoming more sought after?

>>126860998
I don't think so. I'm listening to Scott Grove to learn how to dial my amp.

and what's the deal with modelers? katana mini or spark go?

>>126861100

seriously, apparently there are only 2 tube factories in the world and 1 is in Russia.

is this a good deal? he wants $690 AUD and i'm after a JCM2000. Analogue amps are before my time as i grew up on the laptop.

>>126861081
i like when he says that putting an amp on the floor is retarded

>>126861239
nta and i havent seen the person in question but it makes sense. you're stiffling an entire side of the cabinet, if its off the floor you get that much more projection

>>126861182

>>126861303
just play the same 5 songs, sometimes in different order

>>126861303
i dont have the structure i should. spider exercises and scales during tv shows is all. the main thing, the most important thing, is to play every day. pick it up. every day, no matter what, even if its just for 10 minutes.

where are the 15 minute free form jams devoid of any semblance of a coherent thought mashed out of a casio keyboard with zero regard for tone or rhythm? when did we start posting music

>>126861303
Play guitar.
Pick song, try to play it correctly, fail, get a little better, fail again, get a little better, fail again.
Pick different song, try to play it correctly, fail, get a little better, fail again, go back to original song, get further than usual, fail, get a little better

What's the deal with guitar pedals?
I bought one to sound better... now I need twelve just to sound normal.
You got distortion, overdrive, fuzz what’s the difference?
It’s all just “angry in a box.”
And there's always one pedal that doesn't work unless it’s placed at exactly 17 degrees northeast of your amp while Mercury is in retrograde.

What's the deal with guitar amps?
They go to 11, but the neighbors call the cops at 3.
You want tube tone? Great!
Now you need 30 minutes to "warm it up" like it's a 1950s Buick.
And God help you if you bump one knob suddenly it’s jazz fusion time.

>>126860826
nice and moody. good production, the mix actually sounds good in my studio cans. i especially like the breakdown after the second chorus, it feels like a mix between sabbath and blue oyster cult.

no rules. No keys. Just me, my amp, and a loop pedal set to infinite sorrow.

whats the difference between a Gibson LP and SG and why should i own both?

>>126863272
Next to nothing unless you're a tonewood freak. There's more mass to a LP and for the Standards and up, there's a maple cap over the mahogany body. It's possible it gives a little more of a bright snap, but it's negligible. Gibsons don't differentiate much among each like Fenders do. Unless you start comparing the hollow/semi-hollow with the solid bodies.

buy my 7 string already so i can buy other gear

Does a pickup tape affect tone or anything. Got a little tiny bit of exposed copper on one pup. I tried to patch it up, but then that little piece fell underneath into the crack. lol. Too lazy to take everything apart now.

>>126863842
would you notice if you didnt know? no probably not

>he fell for the 7 string meme

>>126863860
I WANT to like them. 7 + 24 frets has a sort of mystical beauty about it.
But it doesn't actually sound better. I don't know what to actually do with most of it.

>>126862634
>>126862656

Do you guys think the black posters watch Seinfeld

i love 7 strings
you guys should buy one used and test it out
its so good

>>126863920
totally what this anon is saying, i got one used and its been life changing
i highly recommend it

I have ToneX & Amplitube 5 on my computer. I have a Quad cortex. I've played other modellers. I have a few different tube amps. I think modeling/capturing have quite easily gotten to the point to being as good as tube amps (years ago really).
Of the amps that I have played they usually sound just as good now.
I have never played a Dumble but I assume that they get that tone right as well and I have to say, and this is the main point of this comment, the Dumble TOAN is not special.
I've been looking through various threads in different forums of people mentioning their favorite tones from songs/albums and almost none of them are from Dumbles. Not that that says everything, some of my favorite tones are from Dr. Z captures (I have not played a real one) and Matchless (I have a Chieftan and a Ceriatone Mutchle$$ DZ30 ) and I can't say that I know any songs that use them, I just played them and liked them.
tl;dr Dumble is highly overrated

These are actually great. Round core, Nickel over Steel. Only come in 9s and 10s though (fine by me).

>>126860357 (OP)

Are the rumors true?

>>126864079
yeah, 7 strings will get you laid

OK Flamenco guitar players this is what I need a solo on. Chords are E F C B time is from 00:00-00:42. There is a hihat beat there but I can take that out if you wanna go freeform no tempo. The vibe I am going for with this part is Al Dimeola Mediterranean Sundance. Thanks you talented bastard.

https://voca.ro/1kqA7yLduvaQ

>>126863461
Good idea, lets see how it pans out.

What's up with the 7 string nerds? Who invited them?

my guy

^ don't fall for it he has 5 guys, he's known cheat

I bought a 7 string and my wife left me

>>126864333
dont listen to this 9-string shill

9 strings are too much, 8 is pushing it, 7 is perfect, 6 is lackluster

>>126864333
She probably left you for a guy that played Wonderwall on a cheap 6-string acoustic at a party.

Word on the streets is that the black posters are putting all their funds together to get us all a yearly N word pass for Xmas.

Sorry if I ruined the surprise.

>>126864370

>try the new premium pacificas
>don't see or feel any difference compared to their basic bitch models
what's the point

>>126864619
That looks awesome. Didn't realize he made one without the "handle". Or is it actually a Vai model?

>>126864643
my pacifica almost made me stop playing guitar

>>126863764

>>126864643
Sad to hear, I’ve been very interested in them since they released them but don’t want to buy one blindly online and nobody local has any.

>>126864671
>Or is it actually a Vai model?
The one i posted is the second vai model, the UV77, the first was the UV7 that was black with green accents (pickups, controls, etc). Neither had the monkey grip, that was a later addition.

I dont know arent you supposed to have double flats occasionally? I'm just an innocent bass player.

>>126865105
not really. the whole point of a key is that each interval is a different lettered note. At that point they are just enharmonics (same note different name because of context) but I believe there is a key or chord that has a diminished note that is already flattened (flat 6 making it a a 5 I think) but I can’t remember

I put a red tortoisheshell pickguard on my blue Mustang but now I feel like it looks like a Kurt Cobain knockoff so I'm gonna change it out again for a white one

Any of you guys plugging guitars straight into their computer? Just thinking the heavy cable must drag on the flimsy ports and fuck them up.

playing acoustic guitar for more than an hour kills my fingers

is this the hardcap that you can't go past??

>>126864926

Don't @ me again retard

>>126865353
Just get a longer cable?

what's the deal with Fender names?
you've got the Starcaster, which is both a very expensive and a very cheap guitar
you've Squier which makes Esquires, Sonics, and the Super-sonic,
they've got two apps, Fender Tune and Fender Tone,
and then you've got the Mustang which can't decide if it's a guitar, an amp, or a muscle car

>>126865360
just use lighter strings. it’s better for your guitar and sounds 90% the same. better for finger picking anyway

>>126865360
It's over but next month you'll be a god.

>>126865105
>I'm just an innocent bass player.
No such thing. Why do you think you're *supposed* to have double flats somewhere? You can have them if you need them but there's no need for them in any major scale so it would be non-diatonic... desu without even going further your question kinda shows that you don't even understand the comment.

>>126865563
I didnt say just throw them into any scale. There are sometimes moments where you write double sharp or flat. No duh i didnt understand that's why I asked for clarification. That's how learning works

Why is something a double flat or double sharp when that’s just a whole step down or up? Why call it a G## instead of just an A or an Abb instead of just a G? I don’t get it.

>>126865734
me either. I’d love to hear the explanation. unless they’re referring to the key on the staff where it just has X amount of symbols?

:-()

>>126865448
If you don't have a pick, fingerstyle is gonna be quieter. Bigger strings help that out.
It isn't the strings that make it difficult anyhow. Some guitars just don't have a lot of spacing between the nut slots, including some acoustics, so it can feel like a string issue.

>>126865734
It's just convention since it helps to show how you progress from one note to the next. If you've already got an A# for example then the note a half step below it is naturally gonna be a G## and not another A note.

>>126865766
is it not lighter strings that make finger style louder?

>>126865797
Not sure why they would, technically speaking. If they enable you to pluck harder though, I guess that could work out.

Where the FUCK are the good qualit control manufacturers? FGN? Godin? Suhr? Im happy with my 4k Tele Custom, but everything under by Fender is absolute fckign trash quality wise.

HELP!

>>126865832
temu

>>126865825
I think that’s the purpose. you have to play right against the bridge finger style unless you have banana hands so the strings are going to be much harder to pluck

>>126865734
Its theory. In theory you can't have in a scale two notes with the same name. In terms of theory Ab, A and A# are the same degree or "step" in scale. And you can't two of the same in a scale. In practice, of course, right A instead of G##, but in music theory you can have stuff like:
Cb, Dbb, Ebb, Fbb, Gbb, Abb, Bbbb (sic!), Cb (Altered Dominant bb7 scale from Cb)
Because of that some say that the blues scale is not a scale proper because it has two steps of the same degree, for example:
C, D, Eb, E, G, A, C (major blues scale, two degrees of E), or
C, Eb, F, Gb, G, Bb, C (minor blues scale, two degrees of G)

I regret taking up guitar as a hobby

>>126865911
show us on the Squier where the music teacher touched you

>>126865747
the rumors though

>>126865832
Small boutique shops. I’d gladly spend $2k-$3k on a smaller builder instead of $2k on a production guitar from a big builder.

>>126865905
Hell, I hardly ever play by the bridge. I'm not the greatest fingerstyle guy, but I can do it. I play 13-56 with a dreadnought.

>>126866103
Yeah, being able to do a standard I-IV-V chord progression or jump around a minor pentatonic scale would probably wow a random.

>>126866173
Order it from the internet like you do with sex toys

>>126866039
You really need to focus on making your strumming less sloppy. Also your singing sounds like you're pushing all the air out of your lungs at once, take a breather before you start. Like the intensity though.

>>126866736
i always love this vid

>>126866650
for me its the jag. the shorter scale length is just comfy and makes big open chords easier, though they do get a little more cramped up the neck so its a tradeoff, just depends whats important to you.

i like the jangley shrillness of the jag as well.

Nels Cline's another guy who gets jazzy... but he's more known for Wilco.

Someone please post that old jazzmaster soloing video. they were performing in front of a curtain with a sword on it or something I can't find it for the life of me.

>>126867928

you're retarded it's not bullshit at all midwits love saying actually there is no difference between spending money and not the real issue stems from the majority of people being midwits with no taste who can't hear anything and the minority of people who can discern fine details and afford nice things having to deal with your uneducated cope repeated ad infinitum

>>126867955
I have nice things. I have a D-18 at least. Where tonewood actually matters. It just doesn't matter on electrics.

>>126867955
sounds like you fell for some memes and are awfully defensive about it buddy
its basic science. wood type has no bearing on the tone of an electric, because electric guitar pickups don't rely on resonance to work. you'd need a piezo pickup for that.
who's really coping here? mind you i have several thousand dollars in nice guitars, im old enough to afford it, so don't resort to deflecting.

>>126868012
when you got your d-18 did you have a chance to play a d-28 as well? i thought they were a considerable step up but they resell for about the same price as a nice D-18
im looking to buy in a couple of weeks and i dont have the luxury of going to a store

>>126868075
I used to have a D-16 Special...which is like d-28 but without the expensive dovetail joint. $1000 less.
Since we're talking tonewoods, the main difference is between rosewood and mahogany. Everything else about the two styles (no matter the brand really) is mostly the same. Mahogany is akin to a neutral flat EQ with a bit of midrange. But rosewood is scooped and has more pronounced highs and lows. It makes for a pretty shimmery sound when you're strumming. A really nice rosewood guitar can almost sound like a 12 string without being a 12 string. And a lot of singers like rosewood because the human voice fits well between those highs and lows.
But none of this really applies for electrics. If you want a flat EQ base to work with, a mahogany guitar won't do that. The right pickups will get there.

>>126867839

>Tonewood
>Flame maple tops
>Ackhuslly 50s stuff was magick

Yes most of it is cargo cult garbage.

>>126868012
it makes a difference whether that difference matters to you is besides the point. denser woods affect sustain obviously.

>>126868049
i know this because i've experienced it retard. you don't because you haven't or you're too stupid to know the difference.

>>126868308
50s stuff was magic retard. america used to be a place where domestic manufacturing was done to an extremely high standard. the perfect blend of artistry, precision, and innovation. asia managed to copy it and cut costs but they don't have the soul. again if you can't tell this for yourself it's because you're retarded.

>>126868524
midwits love patting each other on the back for being midwits. there are things that you can experience in person that would blow yoru smug skepticism out of the water. there are clear differences, they aren't particularly subtle. there are legions of people who have no idea what they are talking about with no experience, no discernment, no actual perspective who mindlessly parrot bullshit talking points which conveniently support their own mediocre choices.

tubes do sound different when they warm up
every part of the guitar influences its sound, whether that is audible to you is irrelevant
modelers don't sound like the real thing

https://vocaroo.com/1g9jdOiJH7O5

>>126868524
I've been playing guitar longer than half of my life now. I've owned a lot of gear. It's all bullshit. I've come to the conclusion I don't need much but a Strat+plexi type amp. And one of those Martins I mentioned above. I like to have the real thing, but I could probably do just as well with a Pacifica and digital model with a Marshall setting.

>>126868558
this results in this sort of generic platitude wisdom that persists in the audio space that "conversion doesn't matter" "plugins sound like the real thing" "all entry level preamps are good" blah blah blah this is bullshit that is by and for 95% of consumers who are literally fucking retarded but when you get to the upper echelons of any skill or hobby these differences are the point and the legions of retarded pseuds only clutter up the signal. there are places on the internet where there are decidedly more people who know what they are talking about but mostly you guys really don't so i'm telling you just in case you never realized that actually the things you take for granted to be established truth are in fact bullshit and there is a point to paying for quality.

>>126868589
bet you never owned anything good or you are too stupid to know the difference. for those that have and do it matters

>>126868607
Sounds like you're just fucking around now. I doubt you believe anything you're saying. Haha. You got me.

kek good times, i loved fucking with that kid
https://vocaroo.com/1hPS0xQWX3o2
ogs know

>>126868621
no i'm being earnest if you really don't care about the difference between a modeled plexi and the real vintage thing it's because you don't actually bother using it in any real capacity. if your standards are playing shit gigs for old people and or making nonsense fart noise vocaroos go ahead but if you actually care about making art and that to a high standard it matters.

you can be the thread's resident tonewood schizo and makes us all laugh with your sad ramblings

You didn't make any of this stuff anyways. Shouldn't take it so personally and get all passionate and shit about it. It'd be different if I was laughing about your mom or something.

>>126868749
fuck you you fucking retarded nigger

>>126868657
Nigger you've been kvetching about vintage amps and guitars or 3 threads now. Every guitarist that can actually play decent in this general uses cheapish gear and amp sims or a modeler. I.E. myself. Post a vocaroo of you playing, nigger.

why is this type of mental illness so prevalent on 4chan

tonewood is like debating god, christcucks can't prove it's real but they get mad if you don't believe their imagination

>>126868719
what have you been recording in denmark?? who would even care you recorded in denmark??

>>126868823
actually yes

>>126868801
I don't really care about the subtle difference between wood bodies or necks or fingerboards because it's such a small difference that it doesn't matter. I've never subscribed to the theory that electrical guitar woods don't affect the sound of the guitar, it's just not enough that I care. It's all shit that can be tweaked with an EQ. But the fact that you seem to think these vintage guitars and amps are so valuable that you can only sound good if you have them is bullshit. Joe Bonamassa has all the vintage gear in the world and he still sounds like absolute dogshit because he's a dogshit player with no personality. People tend to overcompensate for a lack of skill with expensive gear.

>>126868797
Tonewood is less provable than God. That's how low on the totem pole it is. Why did you bring this up and split our united front against tonewood schizos. :\
Every thing didn't come from no thing. If you don't believe in God, you'd still need something as transcendent as God to manage that. Or you'd have to believe in an utter absurdity that would make Lovecraft himself go insane. And that'd be godlike too.

>>126868913
no nigger i'm saying it matters if you want quality. not that they improve your playing but they improve your sound if your playing is a fixed variable, obviously. niggers always try to distort and weasel out of the truth. it's so obvious, you can't argue with it. aspire to a high standard and stop making excuses as to why you can be comfortable as a mediocre waste.

oh please kid if you played on stage beside Joe Bonamassa he would make you look like a fucking retard and you'd probably wet yourself and cry
>people tend to overcompensate for a lack of skill with expensive gear
please demonstrate in a vocaroo your superior skill since you're more skilled than Joe Bonamassa at guitar

>>126869109
Joe fucking sucks lol he hasn't written a hit song in his entire life. Just because the douchebag can regurgitate a bunch of licks and play fast doesn't mean he's unique or interesting to listen to at all. He's just some douchebag trust fund boomer whose family financed his entire career.
Also thanks for reporting me you little bitch.

>>126869202
Imagine hating on the based Bonermaster

>>126869233
He's not good. He doesn't have his own unique style. His lyrics are probably some of the worst I've ever heard and his stage presence is god awful. If I never have to see another ad for that retarded boomer with his slicked back hair and sunglasses pop up on youtube again it'll be too soon. Like woweee he can shred scales and copy other guitarists and write generic shitty songs and looks like the worlds biggest dork when he plays live. Super neat.

The expression of my soul is intense minor-third tremolo riffing while screaming about raping virgins. To be quite motherfucking honest with you famalamski your 50s plank of wood is no better than a chinesium BC Rich.

>>126869499
it's not about better or worse it's about better for you. but if you are better you get something better.

>>126865360
check if the neck might be too thin, I have a Yamaha that plays and sounds so fucking great but the neck is thin as fuck, it was my first acoustic so I didn't bother to check any others since this one sounded so great but my fingers always hurt after a while.
Then I played an Ovation that had a really thick neck and I felt zero fatigue, turns out the neck on the Yamaha is way too thin for me and hurts my hand.

>>126869513
Yeah that's why I bet on Jackson rather than BC Rich right. It's mostly made in China but you know the Chingchongs at the factory really wanted you to have a good instrument.
I discussed guitar with a legit Chinese on /int/, you can't blame these guys for making cheap guitars. At least the ones that work in some companies really really love music and guitar playing and so forth, only they're not allowed to build or even play on Fenders and so on.
So depending on if they have the right and the tools, they make great guitars for a steal. I'm even actually curious about getting one of their typical Chinese brands because apparently they have great hardware and craftsmanship for the price of a mid-tier Epiphone.
So yeah. I still don't believe in the voodoo magic of 50s American guitars. I've seen videos from luthiers repairing these stuff, some have terrible flaws.

>>126869611
i can absolutely blame them for being insectoid vermin lol

>>126869342
Off beat? You mean the time change to 3/4 during the chorus?

Retard? Excuse me? And no I'm not a big fan of Joe Banamasa. I think he's glib.

>>126869696
Well okay man, that's like your opinion man, but thanks for letting us know man.

>>126869513
The only thing that may have been better about '50s guitars is the wood, because those 500 year old trees are all gone now. Other than that, you can suck a bag of dicks. Modern machining and production techniques are far superior. Instead of relying on some hungover boomer to build your guitar correctly, you now have cnc machines, plek machines, and QC processes that prevent you from getting a lemon. Pickups have been perfected. There's nothing special about vintage guitars except for the wood (in some cases) and the boomer lore. Most of them play like shit.

>>126869779
Eh. I played a 70s Les Paul it felt good, like sex. Felt like sex, I admit. Guitar was fucking fucked up, missed a string, but the neck was like a wet pussy.
Other than that yeah it's overrated. Not sure what you're talking about the wood, bro they build guitars without wood now.

>>126869779
it's just not true man soul is something you really just can't express. listen i'm not saying go out and pay 80k for a vintage strat that's retarded. the point i'm making is that aspiring to something other than slop is worthy. those guitars beget a tradition from which rock and roll flows. don't get a fucking prs, don't cut corners and get some retarded chinese bullshit, definitely don't get a new fender that you pay $2000 for, etc. good used instruments that don't cost too much that were built by people who cared that are descended from inspired AMERICAN design are the sweet spot

Got a boss katana mini x today.
I was thinking about a spark 2 but I really don't want to have to spend hours fucking with the app.
The mini x is ok, I dig it. I was surprised it had some push responsiveness with the gain up.
Only drawback is all the alt modes for the three main modes kind of suck. Clean/crunched with high gain is nice though.
