bullied off bass when i was 14 and spent 20 years on an instrument im not good at edition

i love tubes amps and pedals but do i love them $2000 more than a helix stomp?

>>126915462
You don't need 2k worth of pedals, and you will never use 90% of the effects in the helix. Figure out which pedals you need for your core tone and stop there. Creativity flourishes under limitations.

>>126915503
the amp head i want is $1300 and it already has a model on helix

I have been lamenting, lamenting that I didn't pick up a guitar 10 years ago when I was in middle school.
I'm 24 and recently discovered how much I want to make music after really becoming inspired but I feel like by the time I'm good enough to make my own music that's decent I'll be too old to even consider breaking into the industry.
Yeah, I know, big dreams and I should just focus on becoming a better guitar player but there's been this thought lingering in the back of my mind since I picked up a guitar since I know I want to create music.
I don't want to be Hendrix or Van Halen, just be able to make songs people enjoy - all my favorite music doesn't have an insanely high skill ceiling to play anyway.

>>126915533
i started at 33 it only took me 18 months to develop an ear good enough to learn songs completely by ear and improvise. just start playing dude

>>126915519

BLESSED

>>126915564
Ain't this a norlin era gibson which people used to shit on for being crap? And it doesn't even come with the original finish

>>126915418 (OP)
Great finish. Tahitian Coral?

>>126915574
>18 months
This is the goal I've set to be able to start putting some music out there. I feel like I'm wasting time trying to figure out the best way to proceed for my goals though.
FWIW Bowie is who inspired me to pick up a guitar, particularly Mick Ronson but I realized it really was Bowies insanely passionate vocals that made me love his music. Technically his music isn't that complicated and a lot of it was created by session players.

have u ever been given a guitar as a gift?
tell us about it.

>>126915627
bowie has a lot of complex more avant garde songs in his discog his songs do weird things.

>>126915646
I haven't been given a gift since middle school man

>>126915627
learn your intervals. those will help you understand, hear, and create melodies and you'll know how to build your own chords. maj = 3rd interval, minor flat 3rd, sus 4, dominant 7th, 9th chord etc etc etc

>>126915577
>center girl has a Tele
Will this be the shot in the arm the Tele needs?

>>126915658
This is true but I'm mostly referring to his 70s stuff.
>Diamond Dogs
>Ziggy Stardust
>Heroes
>Low
>Station to Station
>Aladdin Sane
>Young Americans
Are my favorite albums from him. I know Low could be considered avant garde and Blackstar certainly is.
>>126915671
Thank you

>>126915524
Stop buying boutique pedals. I have never seen a working musician with a board full of pedals that have flashy graphics. Just beat up old Tube Screamers, RATs, Muffs, Boss pedals, stuff like that.

>>126915646
my first guitar on the left was given to me when i was homeless i carried it on my back while i rode around europe on a motorcycle for a year.

>>126915646
got given an Epi LP Standard for my birthday around 2018. Good solid workhorse

>>126915718

>>126915677
If you mean in japan no not really the tele is already extremely popular among the indie crowd

>>126915533
>he doesn't know
A lot of artists today at least with pop lie about their age.
Ultimately if you're making more mature music I don't think it should matter much, your 20s are still very young be glad you decided to pick up a guitar at 24 and give it a try instead of living a life of regret
Look forward

ask me about my tube bias

>>126915693
I've seen touring guys with ridiculously big double decker boards, and then only use maybe 6 or 7 effects that night. That's someone who's never had their gear stolen (not that I wish that on anyone).

Well, I was at Burger King earlier. After driving 3 triple whoopers into me I went and started dropping coins into the spinning orange plastic fish tank thing when I had a random thought to go to gc (guitar center). Hot chick walking out as I head in. She gave me a look. Guy at the counter is this TOTAL hunk and I'm not even kidding. Go into the acoustic room for some peace and feel my insides lurch. Before I could even react, liquid sin sprayed into an ovation 12 string on a stand behind me. It was awful. I got out as quick as I could and multiple people noticed. I'm a regular customer and I know most of them recognize me. Oh well. It's only rock and roll.

My six year old says this is her favorite guitar that I have because it’s red, Mustang confirmed child guitars

>>126916284
Mick Jagger had this happen a few times as well. Keep on trucking. Just remember when this happens, the people watching don't know if you did it on purpose. So don't even worry about it.

see

>>126915831

that right there is a 22k 2 watt resistor strapped across a banana plug. it plugs into my multimeter and then my alligator clip leads plug into it. i clip the negative lead to the chassis and then touch the positive lead to each of the filter caps, which discharges them.

however when you're dealing with the bias the amp has to be on so you just gotta make sure you don't touch the bottoms of the filter caps, which isn't really that hard to do.

>>126918208
>https://voca.ro/1lKDa2s2Kid1
why even make this?

>>126918315
i didn't make it i merely facilitated its existence.

As a newbie am I suppose to learn the whole song? Like of course I am suppose to eventually, but right now something like seven nation army solo is damn near impossible and so on. Also Wonderwall is supposed to be easy but looking at the tab on Songster the thing is crazy fast for me.

The thing that is bothering me is whether I'm suppose to grind those songs. I don't want to waste a lot of time on something thats way above my level

yep
it aint much but its good pickin'

>>126919587
Dont ever learn a full song unless you will perform it for someone or an audience.

>>126919587
when i first started i just wanted to play the parts that sounded the best, to me.

Now I learn the whole song because I'm interested in the song writing part as well as the songs structure.

There's a lot more to a song than just the cool riffs.

For example you can have 1 guitar play in the left channel and then a second guitar play in the right channel both using chords that compliment each other.

There's also rhythm or lead guitar, each having their own parts. Depends how they write the song.

anyone here use wood picks? I get these on ebay

>>126919587
one thing i struggled with was finding the beat or rhythm of the song.

for example where's the strumming pattern or the clap in the song.

break it down into manageable parts if you want to play note for note or just take acid and write your own obscure cover kek

1st 4 never shittin/gg/ cum
#IntactBlackCherry

>>126919587
Only if you want to. Later on you should definitely learn entire songs and solos to learn phrasing and song structure like the other anon said, but at the beginning learning the fundamentals like chords, strumming patterns and scales is all you need. If you decide not to learn songs from front to back keep in mind that playing endurance is a skill that needs to be learned and structure your practice appropriately. Just because you have learned to play a rhythm figure flawlessly doesn't mean you can pull it off for the duration of an entire song no matter how simple it might be.

>>126919686

Does pickslanting need to be studied or can it develop naturally?

Who the fuck even came up with a traditional signal chain? Delay before fuzz sounds directly better than fuzz before delay - repeats are quieter and distort less when going into saturated gain.

Sounds like you need an oscilloscope. Without going into all the troubleshooting I did, I removed corrosion from the opamp and surrounding components, noticed one leg of the opamp had lifted from its pad, so I removed it completely, cleaned the pads, and reinstalled. The potentiometer was out of spec and also super stiff. I didnt bother cleaning it and just threw in a new 25ka pot. The voltage regulator (7805 in this case) had seen a lot of heat (im guessing due to it being an old EH pedal and people never using the correct power supplies) so I replaced it as well. I normally hate working on smd boards but this one was fairly painless and took maybe half an hour to get back up and running. Now I need to throw together an effects loop board for it to live on. Picrel is post QD cleaner and scrubbing with toothbrush. I wish I had taken a before, it was rough.

>>126921876
It just happens naturally. All of these different techniques people try to teach boils down to "i started doing it like this because its comfortable and efficient FOR ME". Dont take it as gospel just get a general idea then figure out what works for you. Swinging a hammer looks the same to people that have never used one, but experienced carpenters dont think about the mechanics of each and every swing, they just operate by feel.

I have a theory that no one ever posts their guitars here because most of the lurkers in this gen own a Squier or worse

People who do post their guitars get mocked even when they’re quality non Squier guitars.

>>126922265
love me squier simple as

>>126922528
it's the same on other boards also. even when you post something legitimately cool/rare it gets like one "nice" reply at best and ultimately you've just wasted 5 minutes of your time. even the schizos ignore it post the the same demand 3 minutes later even if it's (you again). either ignore the monkeys or wind them up and watch them dance

Probably my Strat with seven pickup combos or just my Tele.

After playing piano for a few weeks, I can't enjoy guitar anymore. It feels like half an instrument and gets utterly mogged in every facet by a keyboard

I figured maybe I was just coping but this Player 1 Strat really does feel better than any modern US made Strat I’ve picked up in recent memory. I’ve been playing for 20 plus years and have played a lot of Strats. I’ve also been going to guitar centers and music stores a lot lately and testing a bunch of stuff off the walls to test my potential cope. It could just be that US Strats are set up poorly before leaving the factory, I’m sure with a bit of work they could feel better than my Player 1, but I don’t know man, this thing just feels so perfect. I’ve had my eye on the AVII Jazzmaster in Sherwood green, found one last night at GC and it felt like garbage. I really don’t think it’s cope to say that at this point, Mexican and US Fender aren’t all that different when it comes to build quality and QC. Are the components nicer? In some cases. The consistency of build quality is pretty fascinating, I have an early 00s Mexi Strat and it’s not nearly as nice as this Player 1. It used to play better but has gotten worse with age. I guess my point is finding a good guitar is a crapshoot and most of the prevailing wisdom is iffy at best. My last five or so guitars were bought on reverb and all of them have exceeded my expectations, which tells me I need to stop while I’m ahead and play before buying going forward. Really, I have all my bases covered and shouldn’t buy anything else unless I get rid of something, I’m running out of space and my stress level of hiding them all before going out of town keeps getting worse as my collection grows. I can almost justify a fireproof safe.

Why do you faggots have so many guitars spend more time getting good instead of larping

>>126923060
nice reading comprehension, retard. i actually don't care, just further explaining why no one cares to post pictures or even recordings because it ultimately doesn't matter because someone literally asked.

>>126922989
modding guitars is almost as much fun as playing them

>>126922894
bends aren't the same on a piano. piano is far more versatile than a guitar but i like the emotive quality of a guitar for different reasons.

news flash: only losers work in factories sanding guitars for minimum wage
the difference between American and Mexican fenders is the MIM fenders cut corners and use cheap pickups

1970s is as vintage as I’ll get without lucking into a good deal on a pre CBS

>>126923981
I already bench 285
>>126924009
I mean if I have weak areas like not being able to hit the right string sometimes shouldn't I practice that

>>126924034
Just keep playing

>>126923940
Pick a scale and a fingering and play it. play as eighth notes, play it as triples, play it as thirds (skip every other note) etc you can make countless exercises like that for yourself

my shoulder doesn't like it when I downpick 'that' part of Master of Puppets so I'm just going to double pick it instead

>>126924195
you're not going to hear the difference anyway and James himself alternate picks it too nowadays

why do ernie ball and dunlop make so many guitar accessories, but not actual guitars

>>126924365
Music Man is Ernie Ball's guitar subsidiary.

>>126924365
ernie ball makes music man but to answer your question it probably takes less investment to just sell molded plastic and cast pot metal. i literally dont buy anything dunlop makes

get a load of this george jetson looking ass guitar

Is palm muting supposed to be easier on an acoustic? I seriously cannot get it on an electric guitar

>>126924456
? just put your hand flat across the string bro (the bottom fleshy part)

also unrelated but how is mayonnaise reverb for sandwiches

>>126924456
just put your hand against the strings and start chugging. the more distortion the better

>>126924470
>the bottom fleshy part
not him but this took me forever to figure out
I kept trying to palm mute with the top part of my palm, around the base of my thumb

>>126924470
>how is mayonnaise reverb for sandwiches
sometimes shit is just too dry without it

>>126924470
>>126924497
I tried it again, I think it was just an issue with my strumming.
Still a lot of work to do especially to control the sound

those all brass Ibanez Gibraltar bridges from the early 80s that Chris used on his Jacksons go for $200-$300.

>>126924429
oh it's a log alright

>>126924593
Hipshot makes a similar style one.

>want another electric guitar
>really should get an acoustic to perform my own songs
Anyone else have this feel

>>126924622
Nope, acoustic is superior

There's 0 chance black blues anon is actually black

my buddy was in the idf and fired his m16 once without earplugs and has tinnitus. shit is retarded

>>126924802
Yes, I do.

>>126924926
my wife has about the same amount of tinnitus as i do, i have been around guns for most of my life and she has never even fired a weapon before.

tinnitus is usually just something you get, guns or not, just ignore it.

>>126924926
Did he hit the baby at least?

I don't tune my guitar my roadies do

>>126924943
how do you know how much tinnitus your wife has

i have tinnitus and have also never fired a gun before. but i did go to a bunch of shows with no earplugs and rode motorcycles

>>126924951
>how do you know how much tinnitus your wife has
we prefer to have the same amount of background noise on while sleeping

>>126924945
no but one time he got really drunk and went out in tel aviv and got in a fight with a couple of cops and beat them up and got away lol

I like playing guitar but I get overwhelmed a lot

>>126924802
i need less. direct into an amp or pa is fine. tone is in the fingers

>>126924802
>no overdrive

>>126924926
i think people assume pistols cause less hearing damage because it's a weak cartridge but in my experience the largest factor is how much powder is still not burned. 30-30 is a relatively weak cartridge but i have a 16" saddle carbine that sounds like krakatoa compared to my 444 marlin. a high powered cartridge from a short military rifle is probably a death sentence for your hearing

>>126925238
Dial in a clean tone with your volume knob down then roll it up when you want it overdriven. It's that easy.

>I can't palm mute

Sigh . . .

why not just get single coil sized humbuckers at that point

>>126925260
We're all at different levels anon it'll come to you just practice

>40 views 1 day ago

>>126925309
I do know SRV's tech put dummy coils in his shit
I remember a thread on Strat talk about it, some guys say it negatively effects tone, kills high end or something
so does copper shielding
the real kick is: turn down the fucking gain and adjust the angle you're facing

>>126925260
keep practicing lil bro. it took me like 8 months of solid practice to get to 120bpm 16th notes finger style on bass and another 2 months to add string crossing and playing moving patterns at the same tempo

>>126925309
Because if you want the single coil sound while also eliminating bzzz, you want Bzzzzkill™!

>>126925328
Yngwie has used stacked humbuckers for most of his career. they look like ordinary single coils

>>126925249
Good hearing protection is cheap nowadays, $40 for a decent headset with built in microphone/speakers. Being able to hear your steel hits at 100+ yards is invaluable. Shooting steel is underrated, my accuracy has increased significantly since I started using audible targets, especially for shooting while moving and under stress.

can't stand tap tempo. quit using it.

>>126925480
>bullpup

Get an AR-15 with a quality AMERICAN made optic.

>>126925490

music made with tap tempo and metronomes have no souvl

>>126924951
What kind of motorcycle? I trail ride and recently upgraded from an older KDX to a newer KTM XCW 200 and it’s definitely louder. I can’t do earplugs though because I need to be able to hear any potential traffic coming either way. The trails are usually single track, tight and with a lot of foliage and overgrowth that makes visibility past 10 yards nonexistent.

>>126925497
I have half a dozen ARs and EOtechs, ARs get boring once you’re proficient with them. Jews make the best 7.62 bullpup, wish it wasn’t so but it is.

>>126925497
this is the correct take

anyways, a minute left until know your gear podcast starts

Something's wrong with the vertical tracking in my Goldstar, but I have a handheld scope that's good enough for audio. Guitars and amps are more fun. Pedal hype has really cooled off for me.

At least I'm not Keeley cashing in frequent flyer miles to stay in business. I guess 300 per pedal still isn't enough.

>>126925518
i had a yamaha fazer 600 in europe then got an fz1 in the us but i crashed it and don't ride very much anymore. one day.

Newfag here
I got a problem with alternate picking, it sounds uneven and staccato-ish
It's like I mute the string with my pick on upstrokes before making a sound
Tried experimenting with pick angles, no luck there
What do?

>>126925765

What if your guitar was surgically attached to your body?

>>126915693
A lot of them are memes. I was intrigued by the JHS Packrat, tried it out at GC last night and it was very, very underwhelming. 9 Rat models in one box and they all sound like shit. I’m pretty much set with the BBE Screamer as my clean tone and the DS2 and Muff w/ tone wicker as my various flavors of distortion and fuzz. I want to want more but I just don’t need it.

>>126923760
yea but for an almost 40 year old guitar it's in pretty good shape. love the yellowing on the knobs and pickups

Fuck riding in traffic man. I’ve considered setting my YZ250 up as a supermoto since it has turn signals and everything needed for street but the roads are too shitty up by my rural cottage where I keep my bikes. Even at my most carefree I don’t think I would be down to ride among the masses in urban/suburban setting.

>>126925886

yeah i'm kind of glad i crashed the way i did (barely a scratch at 80mph) and clocked out instead of risking further injury. love bikes though. if i was in a less population dense area i would ride one around

>>126925883
fun fact that photo was taken when i was buying that guitar and this guy lloyd who used to own voltage guitars told me about how he sold kurt cobain the martin he used in the unplugged performance for 5 grand and had to kick out him and courtney from his alleyway cuz they were shooting dope. then that guitar later got sold for 5 million dollars

Would you get a GIO if you found one for cheap?

do i get an ibanez sr300 or squier classic vibe 60s jazz bass?

>P90 in the neck humbucker in the bridge

>>126926101
ibanez and specifically sound gear quality is fucking awful. nothing wrong with an active bass but the quality control on a classic vibe is miles better

>>126926302
Aren't they all made at Cort factories anyway?

>>126925963
>found one for cheap?
They're all cheap anon. That's the reason they ever existed.

>>126922989
I only have two electrics an acoustic and one bass though, just barely enough to cover my recording needs

>>126926347
it's possible but i'm just going off of my experience as a repair tech at a lgs

Happy independance day!

Happy 4th to the Americans in the thread
