You don't need theory to rock and roll!

previous
>>126891668

So what I gather is:
>I'm too good to learn theory

>>126904603
I feel like a lot of what guitarists learn is the consequences of theory applied to the instrument. At least that's how I've gone about it. Much different than classical training.

soon tm

When did you realize picks are a meme?

>>126904651
But that's still theory which is my point.
You like this song well they wrote it in a key - that's theory, even if you aren't directly learning it.

>>126904671
The attack of fingers just feels wrong for this, theres no sting on any notes.

Relearning all my AC/DC, Chuck Berry, and Zeppelin

time is an illusion

>>126904700
What are you huffing, your nails are just as hard as a pick

>>126904762
no they most certainly are not, if that were the case your nails would scratch into the pick, go and press a pick into your fingernail and see which one wins.

if you can't hear the difference you should probably just stick to playing the kazoo

>>126904815
coping, the innumerable upsides of finger playing outweighs the pick anyway

>>126904900
play the song hey oh snow with your fingers.

>>126904928
play bach with a pick, accompany yourself with a pick, etc, etc

https://youtu.be/8nrmIochlQE?list=RD8nrmIochlQE&t=47

>>126904928
don't even try

https://youtu.be/qxl2epHHO8c

>>126904967
No you first.
Also I would use a nylon stringed classical guitar that is more suited for finger playing. Both have their advantages. Neither one is "better" but to assume that both can do everything the other can is disingenuous.

First voc in a long time

That is all.

You don't understand bro my long since dead wood needs to breathe bro, its got lungs bro, you need a finish that breathes bro, you're george floyding your guitar bro
https://voca.ro/1c3GXr6yyOcr

>>126905017
what i'm saying is that you can do much more with finger technique, even if picks have their use it's not even close.
why picks are popular is a cultural thing, and for electric guitar beginners its the easy route

>>126905119
So if you want to get down to brass tacks, you can use a pick while using your fingers as well, its called chicken picking.
Its not the easy route, fingers are a lot easier.
Picks are popular because the genres demand it, the dynamics of a pick is far greater than fingers, the highs are higher and the lows are lower. Even finger nails don't quite have the snap of a heavy pick.

https://voca.ro/1pid21duzXOR

What you should do is learn to use everything well, picks, classical style finger picking, chicken picking, bass picking. But since this is 4chan we have to pick a side and fight like monkeys

hes like a white kingfish
https://youtu.be/1UJZnnXxaqA?si=pb6jF2QwCocyWNEO

>>126905174
you don't need any of that to rock

>>126905174
exactly, FUCK YOU
sure but with chicken picking you're also kinda hampered due to the fact that your thumb and index aren't free. i'm still convinced fingering is harder if want to play anything, getting used to all the different permutations
>>126905156
these repeating arpeggios is ofcourse easier to finger

The only chicken I'm picking is popeyes.

>>126905018
you suck so fucking much hahaha

>>126905018
cool licks, is your pickup really touching your string like that?

>>126905233
you got btfo retard

Uh oh. Um... Who's gonna tell him...

>>126905355
Care to be a little more specific there chief?

miss you, baby.

>>126905375
Don't @ me ever again yuppie. I'm punk rock. So you just are gonna deal with that, "chief".

>>126905333
kys faggot, guitar playing has been stagnant for a long time

>>126905399
As. IF. You are SO not even punk rock my guy.

I like to begin my session days with a cleansing face scrub. Mint scented. After that I take an ice bath for 15 minutes before heading to the sauna. During this time I'm doing my vocal warmups. Think of it like spider climbs but with your voice. I enjoy a chai latte after. I drive my moped to the studio and take a line of coke to take the edge off. Start doing actual spider climbs on the acoustic. Put amp on standby to warm up the tubes. Read some Jim Morrison poems to get in the right mindset.

I am overwhelmed, I don't know how to progress.
I've learned some chords, practiced some scales and songs but I don't know how to actually get into making my own songs.

can i just put bass strings on my guitar and play it like a bass? seems like it would work maybe just have to swap out the nut

>>126905782

Thoughts?

>>126905705
You might need new active pick ups for that, last time I tried to do it on my humbucker guitar I get really low output

>>126905098
are you still mad about being poor?

>>126905950
yeah you wanna fight about it?

didn't think so, no one wants to step to the champ, I win.

What guitar do you play when it's hot and you're all sweaty and gross?

The same guitar as always, it needs to absorb my musk

>>126906037
this guy tones

Sometimes washing your hands before you play is not enough. You have to wash your forearms, armpits, and maybe thighs before you play, to keep the nitro really pristine.

>>126906083
isn't the point of nitro to get the guitar damaged and stained like ass and therefore "aged"

>>126905911

I think Gibson perfumes their cases to give that vanilla/chocolate smell. Nitro smell is a marketing meme.

The taste and smell of your guitar affect the tone

ok fine, but im not taking the fuzz off
https://voca.ro/131WLBn85N9s

>take your pants off
>but leave your guitar strap on

>>126906870
The cold hard truth of it is for solid-bodies Fender > Gibson but for hollow-bodies Gretsch > Gibson.

The best place for a Gibson is on the rack so you can look at it while you play your Fender.

>>126906883
I don't mind the fuzz. Don't even mind Spidey. Tbh, I'd rather be Spidey than Batman.
Anyways, that sounded cool. Thank you.

>>126906905
Gretsch is definitely cooler than Gibson, but I can't afford either. So I'm just a Fender pleb.

>>126906925
When I say I can't afford them, I mean the hollow bodies specifically. I want a hollowbody Gretsch because most of them are 25.5 scale unlike their other stuff.

These Floyd Rose superstrats from the mexicans are based as fuck. Literally shit on my 62 Anniversary, specs and quality wise.

Only thing missing is a maple neck, but oh well. It would be TOO good that way. I will replace the pickguard with a white one, though.

those cast saddles are horrendous.

I'd love to splurge on the HM Strat reissues.. but it's still too pricy for a FR guitar I'd barely use. Just looks cool. I think they Japanese.

Seriously thinking about getting one of those.

>>126904671
I recently started using picks here and there after over a decade of using my thumb/index finger. Using a lot of finger plucking it’s just more convenient to transition without a pick. I’ll keep one wedged in the pick guard for certain things.

Why does a $4,000 Gibson guitar need a fret leveling?

>>126912709
Give us a lick boy

>>126912784
It's a feature not a bug.

>>126912784
why do people not read the thread
its a 20 year old guitar. wood breathes over time, it contracts and expands, and pushing frets out is a common issue. it was probably poorly refretted by the previous repair shop

>dude the previous shop fucked it!!
>noo dont talk bad about gibson!!
>i defend them for free!
you fucking cuck

>>126912859
>can't handle basic facts, invents gibson defense force strawman in order to feel superior on a ukranian basket weaving forum
sounds about white

>>126912784
it usually doesn't. they probably came unseated after leaving the factory. it can happen with severe climate changes like going to a customers hovel or sitting in a shitty guitar center with no climate control. most new builds won't use glue on the frets because the fret slots and fingerboard are pristine and don't really need it but maybe this one should have got some. judging by all the shit around the bridge it looked like something went wrong with the bridge glue up on this guitar from the factory or maybe it got heat checked in transport. this shit should not have left the factory in that state. american manufacturers actually have people play and test the instrument for a few minutes before sending to packing so surely anyone with two brain cells would've caught this. not excusing gibson because this shouldn't have happened but i've seen new martins that were literally unplayable because the neck had too much back bow and they don't put two way rods in their guitars. gibson claims to plek their guitars and i'm sure they do a quick job of it but ive never had fret level issues on any of their instruments personally. my fender americans will have a slightly high fret or two sometimes

>>126912833
My favorite part is where the bridge was installed incorrectly from the factory. $4,000.
Made in the USA means absolutely nothing anymore.

>>126912859
yo NTA but Gibson has plenty of real problems without you needing to weaken your argument by propping up bullshit like this

>>126912885
ya that's pretty retarded, but this was 20 years old so did it ever mean anything in modern times?

upgrade everything and you have a hell of a guitar

How does the open G string always sound so bad? I don't have my turner with me right now so I can't check if it's out of tune

>>126913098
i hate warmoth because they don't work well at all with aftermarket parts. you will need to already know before hand which parts you are going to use and either hope they're drilled for what warmoth wants you to use or ream/drill your own holes. fender released their standard series and quality wise it's on par with the classic vibe series although the appointments are different. i would just mod a standard

>>126913102
i have never once dropped a guitar in 20 years of playing
i would be more likely to have to guitar rack tip over and my guitars fall out than me to actually drop one
i am a home studio player, most of my playing is sitting down. and if I am standing up, i have dunlop straplocks which mog the shit out of the schaller ones

>>126913117
Could just be your nut and/or saddle for the G string's wonky.

>>126913117
By a wound g string.

>>126913117
the g was originally a wound string but when electric guitars got popular guitarists wanted a thinner g to make it easier for leads, so now the g is typically unwound and that's why it's the way it is
it's supposed to be wound, but it's not

>>126913125
i am thinking of doing a keith richards micawber kinda guitar, hence the classic vibe being the starting point. i would put a humbucker in the neck (seymour duncan seth lover) change the bridge to a broadcaster style, change the bridge to a modern 6 saddle one made of brss and fuck around with it to make it my dedicated open g guitar because probably 50+% of all my playing is open g
i'll look at standards, they might be good. i mostly just want the base color to be close to an old blonde one

>>126913161
a lot of strats are already routed for humbuckers in the neck and bridge but double check before you buy one

>>126913188
forgot to mention it's gonna be a tele, but yeah, i read fender does that which is nice
on my american performer hum putting a single coil in the neck is as easy as a pickguard swap

>>126913200
i think you'd have a better time upgrading the squier personally. warmoth is good for autisticly speccing a neck or spending absurd amounts of money on beautiful wood. i actual like the light and durable woods that come on cheap squiers and fenders especially with non-transparent/burst colors. fenders were always designed to be affordable guitars and tone woods ultimately don't matter for electrics

>>126913102
I actually dropped my turboporfag les paul right on the tuner (came off the strap) hard enough that it bent the tuner shaft, but the headstock is still fine 12 years later.

My friend's basement was carpeted, so that probably helped a little.

Okay, I'm looking into buying a higher quality guitar than my start ibanez.
I'm deciding between a tele or strat, I like Gibson LPs but they kinda bottleneck the genres you can play.
What guitar would you get if you were me? So far, I'm considering fender strat/tele or a G&L fallout

>>126913083

ironic some of the greatest "shredders" of all time used 22 fret les pauls with shitty access such as buckethead, zakk wylde and randy rhoads, but yeah, 24 frets amirite?

>>126913455
now you're just being retarded

>>126913458
only shitty guitarists play les pauls!

>>126904575 (OP)
so
how important is for this little cable to be atatched to the metal part anyway???

>>126913567
It's to ground the pickup

>>126913270
>nothing plays like a gibson
you are lucky the whole headstock didnt break

>>126913567
it'll make more noise
ground it and you'll have less hum

Who wants to form a band?

>>126913567
cables are gay
real men dont connect the baby safety harness bullshit

>>126913616
The hum is integral to the art

>boomers play boomer instrument
What a surprise.

>>126913638
>continues to be wrong
>lashes out
many such cases on /gg/

>>126913083
is this based on something or are you just crafting poetry?

>>126913368
It sounds like ass every time I try to play anything that's not hard rock or metal on it, and coil split sucks as a replacement for single coils

there are retards here who drop their guitars so much they are mad at gibson.
if you drop a guitar or knock it over regardless of brand you deserve to have it break.

Gibsons are for people who take care of their instruments.

>>126913856
You a big grateful dead fan?

>>126913861
they got some good songs. i like maybe 7 of their song sbut i havent heard much. i just like the sticker idea

I played a LP Special in person finally and the neck was enormous. Proppa baseball bat
Is that how all Gibsons are that aren't the 60s slim taper?

>>126914009
stop imagining the imaginary gibson defence force bro

>>126914009
Gibson fixed it in the 70s with the 3-piece maple neck and the volute, but boomers cried and shit their pants.

>>126914079
BUT THE TONE ANGLE!!!!!

>>126913610
>>126913607
>>126913616
>>126913567
well it looks like shit but atleast its well fixed

>>126914009
>Crying over something that has like a 1% chance of happening to your gibson. LMAO
hows about go to a local guitar store and buy a gibson then gently take it home if you're so worried

>>126914108
Yeah this will sound good, reliced with tone rosin flux.

y'ain't finna Eastman?

>>126912090
>4000 dollar guitar.
>Loose fret.
Remind me again why Gibsons go for that much?

>>126914188
Most pro guitarists change out the frets to a custom size anyway. Gibsons are for pros. Maybe if you are using up a good portion of your student loan on an electric guitar, you need to maximize your dollar and get a Guild or a Cort.

>>126914108
ain't pretty, but it'll work!

>didnt practice guitar at all while away volunteering
>did play bass and started playing pick only
>picking on bass slowly getting better also seeing benefits for certain songs
>forgot to order extra large pedalboard for guitar
Setting up to practice a bit now. Its not that I didnt have my guitar, I just didnt feel like playing it. Plus I was out in the woods and didnt want it to get covered in sweat. I was okay with my bass enduring the heat. One of the girls I was volunteering with has a pretty nice voice. Next time I see her we are gonna try to write.

Because Kiesel will take your custom order guitar and let metal kids play it at Namm. Or they'll just forget to finish it.

Im starting to like using a pick on bass a lot

>>126914763
Pick never feels right for me on bass

>>126914802
At first I thought so too but after forcing myself to keep trying eventually something clicked and I've been looking for my pick when I start to play instead of fingering. Muting with a pick in hand is really tedious and annoying though.

>>126914850
i like to rake and string bounce so i never bothered to learn pick

pick adds a brightness, it hurts my fingies to finger pluck a bass string at max, picking it is np tho

now check out this farty bass tone i achieved using only a fuzz pedal
https://voca.ro/16xEEXJyRsVy

>>126914919
same. picking in general is brighter but it depends on the attack, if you have a good bass you can get a lot of tonal differences just by altering attack, which takes some of the sting out of losing that smooth finger sound.

>>126914957
pretty stinky

Tonal opportunities with a single-pickup bass, a volume knob and a flatpick..it's more versatile than people think. Heres a couple of classic bass lines with increasing levels of attack and tonal diversity

How does it play?

>>126915262
the first half all sounded the same in terms of tone, but i saw what you meant with the back half, that was kind of eye opening
