When the Sun Explodes by Beautiful Noise. It's a distortion and reverb in one and I'm running a rat at a very low gain setting into it. Kinda has a little slapback to it.

Wow another Strat clone. Imagine how different the would woul be if Fender patented the Start shape. Play Authentic people.

inspiration: jamerson, john paul jones, john entwistle, ron carter, victor wooten, charles mingus, bach
lessons: bass buzz (beginner), paul wolfe books, ron cohen, rich brown, charles berthoud (advanced technique), scotts bass lessons for intermediate 1 on 1 material

>>126882480
I never do more than one take, I'm a guitarist first and a musician second. I'm not a sound engineer, I have no interest in polishing or producing a product. I want to capture raw performances that show real playing in the moment, not some 400th cut up quantized shit out take smoothed over with the rest of the sterilized band.

I don't always play guitar.
But when I do, I prefer Fender Stratocasters.

Hello, based department?

Weird take, do you (You) everyone who calls you out on your bait?

When choosing a guitar its best to find one that aligns with your internal machinations in order to easily facilitate the mechanical sequencing necessary to produce a pleasant auditory experience.

>>126882612
Do you often get angry at on topic images on imageboards?

In the discerning selection of a guitar, one must endeavor to procure an instrument whose ergonomic architecture and tonal proclivities resonate in harmonious concordance with the idiosyncratic intricacies of one’s internal cognitive and physiological apparatus, thereby engendering a seamless conduit for the intricate biomechanical orchestration requisite in the manifestation of sonically gratifying phenomena

bro play an adult genre not metal. you dont need extreme dexterity for most normal genres

>>126884382
>bro play an adult genre not metal

That kind of rhetoric always circles back to sounding immature without fail. This is literally what people do when Call of Duty is brought up in conversation.

>>126884354
ignore the hater who doesn't know what he's talking about. the spider exercise develops more than just dexterity, but alternate picking and intonation as well. its valuable as hell, but it's also very challenging.
the biggest issue for most people is getting their pinky up and intonating properly with it. it can be super challenging to reach up with that finger while holding your other fingers in place, so for awhile play it backwards. lead with your pinky, its much easier because you dont have to hold your fingers down, until you develop strength. then, when you do go back to the normal direction, don't fret the note as quickly as possible to play as fast as possible -- that actually covers up strength issues. play it slowly and force yourself to fret the notes for a long period of time. this exercise is about strength, speed will come naturally.
good luck and have fun.

Hey hey hey, Squier Angel reporting in
my Squier strat is rockin' and rollin
that's all

>>126884400
you're trying to play a genre where you cannot sound good at any tempo, you have to play ridiculously fast. Because of this the skill ceiling is higher and you must work even harder to achieve what other musicians achieve.
literally you're going to focus so much on playing things note for note you wont be able to improvise very well and you'll just be repeating licks and patterns. as for that spider exercise you're spending months on getting right?

when the fuck are you going to use it in a song? almost never. there are better things to focus your time on man
>>126884413
you're wasting your time on dumb shit. if you really want to practice exercises practice right hand exercises and rhythm

>>126884422
>if you really want to practice exercises practice right hand exercises and rhythm
people can work on more than one technique anon. just because left hand technique doesn't matter to you doesn't mean you need to shit on it. you sound ignorant as fuck.
agreed that rhythm is just as important and often over-looked though.

>>126884422
>t. can't do the spider exercise, lashes out

>>126884431
i prefer practical exercises. id rather play a lick to speed. than spider exercises because im not going to use a spider exercise in a song.
practicality is the point.
this guy could be learning phrasing, and rhythm and songwriting instead. instead hes doing autistic spider exercises which help his dexterity but dont help him musically.
>>126884434
i havent even attempted to try it. im not wasting my time. i've been playing since 2011, i stay in my lane and avoid metal shit.

>>126884436
>https://voca.ro/13AKr1a0qXWF
sloppy and not how i play at all. too much chuck berry riffs for it to sound like me. also not bluesy enough, more rock n roll sounding

>>126884444
>this guy could be learning phrasing, and rhythm and songwriting instead. instead hes doing autistic spider exercises which help his dexterity but dont help him musically.
different skills, both need exercise. not sure why this is a difficult concept for you. i get that you personally don't care about your fretting hand technique, we've covered that, but you shouldn't project it onto other learners.
you're of the mindset that he's practicing the spider exercise INSTEAD of other things, but you and i have no idea what his practice routine looks like...and it's not what he asked about.

>>126884454
he sounds like hes a beginner and listened to some fucking idiot who said "YOU GOTTA DO SPIDER TECHNIQUES"
theres countless guitar techniques and exercises i would prioritize over spider walking

sorry bro Arpeggios up and down the neck>spider exercises
if you want dexterity and to actually learn something useful do arpeggios instead
>>126884582
i have a tripcode that post doesnt

>>126884731
>Arpeggios up and down the neck>spider exercises
the point of keeping it chromatic is so that you're focusing on technique and technique only, i understand your temptation but again you're really conflating two different things, scales and arpeggios require memorization and a different type of muscle memory. spider exercise removes those elements and focuses on building strength, dexterity and technique.
just admit you dont like it and lets move on

Greeny is not a plain top it’s a 59 cherry burst that has faded. If you want something new in that color it’s called lemon burst. Idk I think it looks pretty good and is at least a little different from all the cherry / tobacco burst Les Paul’s. Although I’d probably go with an ebony or alpine white Les Paul if I buy one.

could have spent $35 on a um-2 but whatever. if its usb it'll be quite easy, should show up as an input device in your daw's midi config. for instance in Reaper it'll be under midi inputs once you set your capture device to Alsa (or PulseAudio which uses alsalib).

>"gets electrocuted on stage"

what did they mean by this
electrocution is fatal by definition

>>126888417
no its not. you can get electrocuted by high watt, low amp current and take a hell of a shock and be just fine. its amperage that cooks ya. will turn your lights right out.

So how would you know if a mic at a random bar is a death trap or not?

>>126888432
you are describing an electric shock, not an electrocution.
electrocutions are fatal (or severely debilitating in the cases of the few people that survived the electric chair).

>>126886907

Is there any point to buying picrel and going into PC when the I/O exists and does that without the extra fluff?

I don't believe that scales are real and I don't believe that anyone knows them

>>126888772
>I/O exists and does that without the extra fluff
The built-in soundcard? Low impedance inputs, won't work for guitar. If you have an interface already, with instrument input, you can plug direct and set up effects as plugins.

What is the comparison of the pressure it takes to fret a note in nylon versus steel strings gauges? Like, if I have normal tension nylons does it take as much equivalent force as .9s, .10s, .12s?

>>126888722
>too nasal
it has two eq bands?
just boost the low end and trim the treble, or use a different one of the two fuzz voices.

>>126888786
There's very little difference in fretting, but bending 9 is a little easier than 10 much easier than 11 I didn't get to 12 I imagine it's even worse. All of them plain strings including fatter G cut into finger a bit until you develop calluses.

>>126888757
Well I didn't say I specifically wanted a fuzz, that's why I posted the rat
>>126888818
I'm just judging from what I've seen in demos

What I am doing wrong? I've set up everything to record guitars on FL studio. But I can't hear anything, the weird thing is that FL studio is clearly picking up audio when I strum my guitar. How do I solve this?

>>126888862
>that's why I posted the rat
sorry i didn't follow your thread back, that was my bad
the rat will get you halfway there. a good octave fuzz will do the rest, anon was almost on point. check out the mastotron, it's low octave fuzz. dont be afraid to stack them, just mind the gain.

>>126888866
if you're seeing the signal in the daw then you probably just need to set the track to Monitoring so you can hear it. thats what i'd do in Reaper anyway.

>>126888453
Use an insulated mic grill. Touch the strings to the mic. Bring an outlet tester. Run everything on the same circuit. Don't play in a thunderstorm. Take out the death cap in an amp that does fuck all anyway.
Simple as

>>126888786
I'm not talking about the difference between the gauges, but the equivalent of nylon tension to a steel string.

>>126888998
nylon strings has far less tension than steel strings. so they are easier to play and pluck. so much so that classical guitars have their own bracing pattern and will explode if you string them with steel strings

Its interesting that all the gypsy jazz players use super light strings, like 10-45 and 11-46 max
Yet all "normal" acoustics come with 12s or 13s

>>126888903
I already have a marshall type distortion pedal, it's good but it doesn't sound big and/or crunchy, so yeah I'm looking for something to stack on it, ideally something that adds that big open sound to it that allows you to slide fifths on the bottom string all across the fretboard without losing sustain

Jazzmaster

>>126889177
strumming is a lot more violent on the strings than picking, they can get some bad buzzing if the string is too light. you get better overtones going heavier strings which is probably why dreadnoughts come with 12s but they're not very friendly for fingerpicking. silk and steels are a good intermediate between nylons and steel strings both in tone and tension but i personally don't like the way they sound

just finished an hour jamming the fuck out with metal playing in the background lads
im sweaty now

Nevermind the super fuzz sounds amazing here, this is exactly the sound I'm looking for

Love him or hate him, Bowie is proof you don't need to be an elite guitar player to make incredible music. His songs, especially Sweet Thing, are very easy to play on Guitar but they work so well with the other instruments and the vocals that the music comes out incredible.

>>126889782
complex guitar parts are uninteresting. it's like working out your calves: only other guys notice or care. rhythm is 80% of the equation which is why it's so sad that people in this thread obviously aren't practicing with a metronome

>>126889808
>only other guys notice or care
Very true.
If someone like Eddie Van Halen was born today he wouldn't even be that well known.

>>126889832
perhaps but i was thinking someone more like buckethead compared to someone like angus young

I know where the notes on the fretboard are. When I want to play "in key", I just look up which notes are in that key and start playing. It takes some time to visualize it, but it usually works. Is this how everyone else does it?

I don't like learning "shapes", at least not consciously. I assumed that knowing the notes is the better solution. The problem I ran into now is being unable to memorize every scale in the world. I have a few that I know and mostly stick to: e minor, c major, c minor, d minor.

>>126889863
Who is buckethead?
>>126889808
Should I buy a metronome or just use one online?

>>126889883
no i learned my major and minor scales and base everything around that including chord changes. intervalic distances typically have the same feeling compared to the tonic regardless of key so if i want to express certain feelings i use them are target notes. it also helps to avoid playing certain notes when comping someone else for a solo or giving them space to work as i can avoid notes that would too strictly imply a chord or harmony. i never bothered learning modes. im sure theres a hundred ways to do it and they all work.

>>126889892
buckethead writes some pretty insane guitar parts and i like quite a lot of them but he's like advanced jazz where only people already in his circle "get it". you can use any old metronome although i highly recommend the free groove trainer from scott's bass lessons because it has extra features like drone and the click completely dropping out for advanced training.

>>126889892
>Who is buckethead?
The ghost of drunken regrets.

>>126889892

Precisely.

whoa

where is the sound like gojira jhs episode

Good job fren keep on truckin

>avoid playing certain notes when comping someone else for a solo or giving them space to work as i can avoid notes that would too strictly imply a chord or harmony
How would that work? How can you know beforehand what note someone is going to play so you can avoid playing a certain one yourself?

>>126890261
root 5th and octave don't step on anything. you can make a lot of good music with just those three notes. depending on how open it is you can also add in your maj/minor third. it's not really about avoiding playing the same notes as them but providing a very blank harmony so they can do whatever. if i start playing a sus chord their 4th notes won't sound as impactful. sometimes you (and the drums) can drop out completely its really just whatever but i guess the point is i wouldn't understand how or why that works if i didn't know my intervals

Just started playing guitar, what's the best course/exercises that I need to become decent?
I have no intention of shredding or playing metal if that helps

>>126890384
if i could do it all over i would jump completely into whatever i wanted to learn immediately and learn completely by ear
>bluegrass?
flatpicking and walking chord transitions
>rock?
power chords and minor pentatonic blues solos
etc

>>126889526
do note that he's using the "secret setting" here where he has the swtich between the boost setting and the fuzz 2 to get a boosted fuzz.
>>126889479
don't forget to take a shower!
if you shower before the sweat completely dries, it helps with exfoliation!

Stop shilling your awful faggotry you ngmi piece of shit

I beleive you have to be the change you want to see so I still post here like this, perhaps one day everyone will post videos.

>>126890552
You will never be a successful musician and you suck at playing guitar. You are the opposite of entertaining. Go fuck yourself welfare parasite

>>126890595
it's funny that you work so hard to pass on your dissatisfaction with life onto others
just like do your own thing, man
practice guitar or something
chimp less

>>126890629
Just post as a voca or fuck off. You suck anyways

>>126890660
i post voccas too but video is fun

>>126890660
I mean you're the one malding about other people's ability here
I think you're obligated to prove you're any better than them

>>126890629
I watch them all. keep posting dude.

lol holy samefag meltdown

Reminder that nobody actually likes Craig and he’s one of the most constant samefags in this general that’s already rife with samefaggotry

>>126890775
but let's be real, does anyone actually like anyone here?
like most of the site, most of the posters are newfags who interpreted the overly vitriolic responses to their newfaggotry as the actual site culture and normal tone of conversation.
some people just want to chill out and have a fun time.
90% of newfags are incapable of having fun without some sadistic element or autistic competitive debates.

>>126890812
I've been on and off posting here for years. it's definitely in a better place than it was a year or two ago

>>126890812
I like the black blues anon and mountain has his moments. All the other trolls here do legitimately suck though

So you guys get about 300 posts or more per day. Is this really a dead general? It's not so bad.

>>126890845
>300
Half of those are craig complimenting himself so yes it is that bad

>>126890862
you guys have no idea. I don't pretend to be people on here anymore than i "pretend" to play guitar. There's a fine line between the reality we live in and the one they are medicating us for so don't keep your eyes closed for too long.

>>126889892
Google has over built-in
The soundcorset app is pretty good
If you buy hardware, I recommend going straight up for a cheap elektron box like model:samples

>>126890840
mountain and craig are the same person imo
or at least the same archetype

>>126890961
Mountain is way too clever and smart, and he can play a little bit. Craig can’t play AT ALL. It’s just random plinking around. And he doesn’t have the charisma and humor that mountain has. Craig can barely function as a person

>>126890977
ok mountain
only mountain would glaze himself this much

What's a cheap steel string that's decent? Some Ibanez?

I don't know what his material looks like or your skill level but i guess when you aren't being challenged or learning anything anymore? i always roll through beginner content again when i learn a new picking/strumming etc technique. or take a song you already know and try playing at a different tempo
