I found out today that if I set my spark mini go to max it can walk itself across the floor. Is this toan?

>>126926989 (OP)
Does anyone know of a good vid or lesson on how to work and riff once you know scale patterns or mode slices?
I keep dicking around but it all ends up sounding faintly like bach lute pieces. Yes, even when playing against backing tracks for the scale I'm working.

>>126926989 (OP)
Its been awhile since Ive had my horn between some boobs. Too long.

>>126927013

PLAYIN WITH A TRAVELIN AMP

>>126926227
he'll yeah

Do you buy guitar straps to match your guitar?

>>126927137
kind of. i get a strap with every guitar i purchase and whichever one i get is the strap for that guitar. i don't really play the matching game i just get what feels good.

>>126927137
to match or complement, yes, of course.

I have never bought a guitar strap. I rarely play standing up. I'm trying to do more of it

>>126927237
pour one out boys, the guitartube algo got him

>>126927247
>I rarely play standing up.
i recommend you do it from time to time, it's a whole different ball game standing up vs sitting. you can play clean and perfectly sitting and slop every single note standing

>>126927237
>Female vaginas couldn't make me cum until I bought this one simple pedal (klon review)

who is buying guitar straps? they come with guitars, people give them to you, you find them inside random bags you own, everytime you spend more than $300 at a guitar store you make them throw in a strap and some picks. i have 732 guitar straps. i give as many as possible away to charity each month but they keep showing up.

>>126927307
i do be making them throw in the strap generally speaking

>>126927247
This was me for the first five years of playing, now I never play sitting down anymore.

why learn a scale when the chromatic scales comes with all of them?

>>126927367
i don't i just play by ear.

>>126926989 (OP)
Sophie Burrell is the superior Sophie in both aesthetics, personality and ability.

I play all of my guitars differently. My style on my Strat is different than my style on my LP.
Don't be a brandfag, simple as.

>>126927425
Based. They all inspire me to play them differently but I still have my favorites.

>>126927399
this is a dude isn't it

>>126927237
>I wasted 10 years of my life doing THIS

>>126927452
feminine hands, I'd say it's unlikely, but I'm no expert

Ended up using the switchblade for me guitar pedals. Me thinks that when i have a board I'll need different patch cables. The shit barely fits together but it sounds really cool.

>>126927137
For my bass i bought a strap to match it but I also got a Kingdom hearts strap that was blue so I made sure my guitar would match it. So reverse order for the 2nd guitar.

>>126927502
I got that same muff, it sounds like shit

he sleepin

>>126927591
out of all the cats and guitars posted here, this one is okay

>>126927367
you say this unironically but that was dimebags answer everytime he was asked what scales he used

>>126927502
>when i have a board
you can have a board in 5 minutes, just find 5 pieces of wood to screw together

>>126927622
He comes from a time when it was le cool to lie about your practicing routine. Can't give away the secret sauce now can you?
You can't make music that sounds good without scales whether you find them by ear or look them up its the same god damn notes.

>>126927672
you aren't wrong but there's a philosophical different between playing something by ear and saying "i'll just play the kandahar snake flipper scale over this quasi dominant diminished tonic 4th inversion"

>>126927684
exactly. my mind is not present at all when i'm playing.

>>126922265
Nigga I post mine like once or twice when I get a new guitar which is like once a year, why the fuck would I want to spam them over and over again like that one faggot (you know which)

>>126927705

>>126927591

>>126927712
>being this incorrect about what theory is
dunning-kruger up in this bitch

>>126927759
>thinking about what scale you want to use instead of just playing isn't theory

>>126927759
fuck theory i'm about that action nigger

>>126927777
it isn't. scales are there to derive other information, the idea that its just to memorize what notes to play is the exact kind of bullshit that infests this general.

>>126927784
You're barking up the wrong tree mate, these are Americans and ignorance has become celebrated in their 3rd-world shithole.

>>126926989 (OP)
question for you music guys, how much can I sell a pink hello kitty strat for?

>everything is theory because i said it is

>>126927811
fuck you nigger enjoy getting raped by a degenerate mudslime

>>126927811
You dumb fuck, hot damn your education is terrible.
America by very definition can never be a third world country. Go ahead and look at the definition I'll wait. You niggers really need to look up what shit means instead of what you think it means because you're wrong like 100% of the time.

Fuchs? More like Pukes.

>"yeah this pickup gives a more round sound while this other one is more sparkly"
what the fuck are you talking about

>>126927837
Wonderful illustration of my point, thanks.
>>126927849
Semantics are only considered a valid argument by those in the wrong. Your country is on the Human Rights watch council redlist, and you should be ashamed, but you're too stupid to realize it.

>>126927684
The good players use voice leading. You can only hammer the same five note pentatonic for so long before it's time for fresh ideas.

>>126927882
bro you just argued theory on semantics. shut up

>>126927880
flat response versus going up at high end

>>126927891
No I didn't, I argued theory on a fact that is contrary to your (incorrect) belief and you don't like it, so you've spent the last 10 minutes chimping out at me.

>>126927890
i play with a keyboardist who has been playing professionally for 30 years and doesn't even know what a bar is. there's a difference between what you're doing being described by theory and using theory

>>126927837

>>126927748

>Reminder only dog people can be considered guitarists

>>126927882
What the fuck are you even on about? I'm specifically and only talking about you saying America is a third world country, no other point is in contention and I'm not the other anon you were arguing with, just not gonna have some legit third worlder calling my country a third world country when they don't even know the fucking definition.

>>126927913
Not even close buddy, do I need to start stamping every one of my comments with a vocaroo again? Would you like to see the (you)'s?

>>126927908
So just play songs until it works. kthx

>>126927711
Who?

>>126927905
would you say that someone who is considering what scale to use over a particular chord is applying knowledge of theory?

Look, if you play more than 1 note, you are using theory whether you read a book about it or discovered it by ear, you aren't reinventing the wheel here chief, if you use the 12 note western music, its been done, its been noted, you can have it given to you or figure it out yourself. If you think you have no theory, play anything into a vocaroo and I'll show you exactly what part of music theory you are using without you saying it.

>>126927927
Ok. I mean, by the definition not many in the west can be considered 3rd-world, but in 2025 "Third world" describes a country that has no social safety nets, a crumbling infrastructure, a weak economy with even weaker currency and a government that actively works against the wishes of its public. Any one of those should embarrass you, but you're more upset by the perceived insult and the idea that I might be brown (I'm not).
I can't wait for China to nuke you off the fucking crust.

https://voca.ro/1fatmzD77eud
I have no recording software but I stumbled into this when I was going through Dmin pentatonic modes.
I put my headset on my katana mini and it peaked the fuck out of the headset mic. Maybe I do need a audio interface, does anything work with a rocksmith cable?

>>126927977
>says he isn't arguing on semantics
>literally argued on semantics
please shut the fuck up forever, retard

>>126927979
>not many
Not any Paco, the USA cannot become a third world country, even if it was nuked to dirt, its still a First World Country because that term doesn't mean what you think it means.

Even if you want to get into the nitty gritty, there is social saftey nets, the infrastructure depends on the state not the federal government, our economy is literally one of the best in the world, and over half our country voted for whats happening, so by even your twisted definition, we still aren't.

Again, educate yourself.

>>126927272
I don't see how people do it slung down to their knees. I'm glad I don't have tits

>>126927987
Turn the gain on the mic off.

>>126928007
there are social safety nets*

>>126927817
I'd check out ebay and undercut from there if you want the money fast.

>>126927817
ill give you 200 bucks for it
a shop will probably give you 140 bucks

>>126928002
NTA there chief, I'm about 1 more fuck up from using a trip code. You guys are really bad at keeping track of who is who, I can tell who is posting what by the third word, its not hard, theres 5 people who frequent this general.

Sunburst finish is my fav when it's done well. When it's done poorly it looks like shit, but when it's done right it's perfecto.

>>126927137
Yes. Nothing fancy though, 90% of them are fenders with $20 fender straps that match in color.

>>126928059
>it's true in my mind

>>126928060
Quite possibly the dumbest looking fret inlays I've ever seen.

>>126928067
Okay that cements it I'm a tripcode faggot now.
Not that it matters I guess BBA posts without his all the time.

>>126927913
no i'm much more aggressive than that guy

>>126928068
you could make them dumber by putting the cut out on the other side

>>126928007
>there is social saftey nets
Your current Goverment has been systematically destroying them. Social Security is the only one left untouched and that is only because of the incompetence of DOGE.
>the infrastructure depends on the state
Some of it. Some of it, like your telephone and railway systems, are federal. All points of infrastructure are failing except for cellular and Internet infrastructure, also both federal, but thriving only because of their commercial implications. And as far as the points that are under State purvey, the federal Government is trying to strip away state-level protections and rights.
>over half our country voted for whats happening,
Not even half of the eligible population voted. It's an indictment of belief in the election system, not a reflection of popular opinion.
>economy is literally one of the best in the world
No, it's one of the biggest in the world, which does not equate to the best. Your dollar has continually lost value in the face of regulation scandal after banking bubble after interest rate cut. In terms of stability the American economy is weak.

Just stop, chimp.

>using tripcodes
kinda gay bro/gg/s

aw don't fight. that's what they want us to do - tear into each other like animals! we're frens not beasts

>>126927452
I will never forgive the troons for this seed of doubt that will forever more be planted in our minds when beholding what appears to be a beautiful woman. It’s unforgivable.

>>126928085
lmao dude you really drank the kool-aid. I'm done even trying to get through to you believe whatever you want to believe just know none of what you said is true. Doesn't matter what a monkey thinks.

post your 'nomes

>>126927452
>>126928111
it makes my pp hard so im fucking it

>>126928130
I don't use them. If I want to practice rhythm I use a drum beat.

>>126928130
I use an old Yamaha keyboard my parents bought me like 20 years ago as my metronome

You guys seein' this?

>>126928138
Nigga you ghey

>>126927137
duh

>>126928167
No you are.

yeah im seeing it alright

>>126928125
>NO ITS NOT TRUE ITS NOT TRUE IM DONE ARGUING HEY IF I CALL YOU A MONKEY WILL YOU THINK I'M WHITE?
Can't make this shit up.

>>126928130
Who even owns these outside of music classrooms nigga

>>126928189
Nice projection chief, I'm just done arguing politics in /gg/ when its obvious you aren't arguing in good faith and your opinion is irrelevant anyway. Continue to chimp out on your own though, humor is always welcome.

>>126928200
You got torched and you're crying but whatever you need to tell yourself. Next time you want to look like you're talking about argue opinions instead of objective facts.
Just a tip, chimp.

>>126928130
>just dox your drummer bro!
fuck off

>>126928196
I'd probably use a phone app

>>126928130
i go tick tock tock tock tick tock tock tock in my head!

>some loser not even from the US knows all this gay shit about a country he doesn’t even like
sad, many such cases lmao

>>126928060
Is there a reason why gretsch can keep making such affordable guitars whereas gibson semi hollows are all 3k

>>126928213
Look at him go, desperate. Can feel how thirsty you are over text.

https://voca.ro/1e4dSvw9s0CG

I'm getting my PRC MacArthur tomorrow! Hopefully

>>126928239
Gibson is still made in the US, most Gretsch guitars are either Chinese or Korean for the cheap ones or Japanese for the higher cost ones.

>>126928243
God bless the US!

added some more to a song i'm working on

https://voca.ro/1khNKO7fkSGL

>>126928239
Yes, but it's a hard redpill to swallow.
Gibsons are better and worth more $.

>>126928280
got a ketamine Bartok type thing going

>>126928317
almost 7 years sober this is what happens

>>126928196

I like the wind-up one because it 'forces' you to practice a set amount of time, i.e. the time it takes the spring to unwind.

attend to the floyd rose on your own guitar before you restring the tremolo bridge of thy neighbor's

>first time going to a store to try out some guitars (I live faraway and inky ever bought online)

Is this nomal? I'm disappointed

>>126928405
>rhythm circuit is black on black pickguard on black finish
how do you even see it?

>>126928533
I don't think so. What country? maybe standards are different there. or you found a mob front

>>126928533
>inky
But yeah that's not normal at all. That sounds ass even by guitar center standards.

>>126928533
not at all lol

>>126928564
official yamaha store in asia

>>126928579
should have gone to a store that has fenders

>>126928533
Have you tried not living in botswana

>>126928579
Hm. I'd try another store and if the same thing happens there I guess I'd stick to ordering stuff online

>>126928085
>cellular and internet structure are federal
literally not true. there are even laws that explicitly state this

>>126928579
Yamaha needs to step their game up then. Rusty guitars inspire no confidence.
>>126928591
It's got beautiful sights I'll give it that. Would visit but not stay.

>>126928579
>official yamaha store in asia
>>126928533
>>half the guitars are missing a string and they all have rusty frets, making even very expensive ones feel like ass
thats how my pacifica arrived so i believe you anon

but what about superior Japanese work ethic? Surely they can put strings on the guitar in their own store?

Do you think the store employees all laugh and high-5 each other when they ship off a lemon guitar they sold online?

>>126928675
i hate gooks so much man

>>126928675
what's a lemon guitar?

>>126928741
A guitar with a major problem.

>>126928675
yes i was there when they did it.

>>126928675
Think any of these are lemons?

Went to GC the other day and was playing an Ovation guitar that smelled like shit, is this normal?

>>126928761
are those professionally stressed guitars

>>126928774
plastic is off gassing tone scent

>>126928761
Playing them in-person unplugged, then plugged in, is the only way to be sure.

>not buying all of your guitars online sight unseen and hoping they’re good and if they’re not good then spending the time to fix them

>>126928925
cringe hippy shit

>>126928925

that's his ceiling

>>126929170
It's run a train on your mom a few times, though.

>>126929199
ooh a schecter damocles

Why do people here hate theory?
I understand the argument you should be able to listen what's being played in a song using intervals but theory just speeds up that knowledge.

>>126929364
no one here plays guitar retard

any1 know how to pick really really fast?

tried picking up and down on the same string near the bridge but sounds like ass

https://voca.ro/1jlQAs3UACW9

>>126927452
nah it's a girl, she's british, her content is insufferable. guitar is in a really bad spot culturally as an artform, i can't be surprised that guitar stores are closing down in the uk when all the culture is just bullshit abject mediocrity youtubers and guitar lifestyle crap.

>>126928130
metronomeonline.com

used it since 2006

>>126928196
any serious minded musician, "nigga"

https://voca.ro/15KGtB8O2utn

>>126929364
i think theory is cope for not being able to just play music

I went into a guitar store today and a black guy was behind the counter and he sounded White wtf

>>126929375
nigger you are fucking retarded if you give a fuck about anything that goes on on youtube as a benchmark for anything. just play the guitar

>>126929402
All your favorite artists and musicians understood theory, either implicitly or explicitly

>>126929364
pretty sure its just a meme friendo

>>126929410
No. They understood music. Using maths to make music is the opposite of creativity.

>>126927237
>Start doing THIS

its impossible not to use theory, idiots
if you play without studying all that happens is you arrive at the same place but much more slowly

>>126929374
I expect you want to make sure your attack is as close to 90 degrees both ways as possible and aim for consistency. you have spurts there where you're faster than I can reliably pick

>>126929439
I've found most of my riffs just dicking around while memorizing modes and scales desu famalam

>>126929410
i don't understand anything i just play

>>126929439
theory is an explanation after the fact i just live in the moment. you can name every single speck of dust in the universe or you can do something with them

>>126929452
memorizing scales is for nerds

>>126929439
Best way to learn theory?
>>126929422
>>126929455
Let me ask you this, what do (you) consider theory? Something like scales are technically theory

>>126929374
minimize the movement, use your elbow not your wrist, relax. pick in between the neck and bridge pickup.
https://voca.ro/11xmR9CqdxbN

music is a language, words have no meaning on their own.

jUsT pLeY IT

>>126929439
You'll know something works because a book told you while someone who uses their ears will know intuitively what the sounds feel like and how they can convey feeling. Meanwhile you'll go "my book says go to this chord after playing this"

>>126929466
>Best way to learn theory?
Move away from home and in to an academy at age 7. Have corporal punishment a frequent occurrence. Lots of shouting and crying.

>>126929466
i consider theory an explanation after the fact. if you listen to my music you can say okay this was a 16th note this was a 3/8 rest this is a diminished 7th chord in the key of c and it's all just nonsense you don't need to know any of it unless you're trying to imitate other people.

>>126929477
>while someone who uses their ears will know intuitively what the sounds feel like and how they can convey feeling
This is intuitively understanding theory lol
No matter which way you put it you're practicing theory.

>>126929490
no practice has nothing to do with theory

>>126929469
pick keeps getting stuck, feelsweirdman.

basically locked wrist and using the elbow
pick at close to 90 but when hitting the string hitting at a sort of 45 degree angle (thumb turned down).

Perfect reaper VST/EQ settings, rendered the track sounds so fucking pure. Crashed 1 munute later and its all lost. Rerecorded it today and the playing is actually a bit better but can't get it to sound the same. FUCK

>>126929526
never happens to me because my eq settings are knobs on my amp

>>126929555
you know nothing about EQ settings boy.

>>126929521
for me it was upstrokes, so I just did nothing but upstrokes til it felt natural

started listening to some blues and now I've got diabetes

>>126929494
You should know a little bit of theory to make everything easier.

>>126929727
i do know theory i just never ever use it.

>>126929571
This nigga better off playing guitar out of his radio

I just accidentally played a riff on the wrong strings/frets and it sounded the same, I looked up the fret map and it was because they were the same notes, just on different positions.
Might not mean anything to you guys if you've played for years but I just started and was pretty impressed how good my ear is, I was practicing a scale earlier and was noodling with it.

>>126929394
dumbass I was specifically talking about the type of mechanical metronome he has, no shit people use clicks

>>126929959
This nigga just figured out box 2, he'll yeah!

>>126929984
wahts box 2

>>126929989
it comes after box 1

>>126929989
i've already said too much
https://voca.ro/18CbdpBOap2a

>>126929989
Probably some retarded american codification, like I-iv-V or giving notes the names of letters of the alphabet, you know, because anglos are special and MUST be different than others and keep isolated. I mean can you imagine adopting the same teaching methods and categorisations as the rest of the world? Eeeew.

>>126929959
if you play guitar long enough without spending your time attempting to memorize scales and nonsense like that you just learn where the notes are and what the relationship between them is. can't explain it any better than that. my fingers do the work for me.

>>126930013
>>126930014
>>126930023
I just feel like I'm getting it, it's small to everyone else in here but makes me happy.

>>126930023
call it what u want buddy you aren't the arbiter of knowledge so just back off okay?

>>126930046
this is unironically easier for me, too

>>126930061
I'm calling it what it is, and if, according to some replies to the anon who said he discovered the octave, learning scales in unnecessary, how unnecessary must it be to learn theory in two different codifications? I'll tell you why, same reason anglos count in feet and hands and why the church split: ownership, different claims to titles and certificates and the general disconnection from european music schools due to distance and illiteracy.
Got it now?

>>126930152
Cool your jets my guy.

thought on this cheapo since i just got one

>>126930205
I don't mean to be irritating, but the truth is the truth. Europeans have to learn to translate back and forth.

>>126930234
seems nice
if you find it lacking i highly suggest a tonex one pedal, cheap and probably on sale soon.

opiniated question. on a les paul, what's your favorite color scheme?

>>126928761
Who tf pays 5k for these ugly pieces of shit? Seriously looks like something you found in the junk.

>>126930438
The real rabbit hole is when you start to research why relicing came into being in the first place. There wasn't any customer demand, clamoring for scratched and dented guitars. It was purely top-down.

>>126930482
This is not just relicing but just ugly. What are those colors and why are the pick ups and knobs brown?
Maybe you have to be a 50+yo dentist to understand it.

>>126930482
>clamoring
In English chief.

>>126930524
For some reason the newest trend is making the guitar look like it's been worn down after having had multiple refinishes, god only knows what's going on in boomers alzheimer branins

>>126930624
too much leaded fuel

>>126930297
I checked it and it's pretty good, you can store up to 60 patches. moving from 1 patch to another is pretty annoying though, you need to re-organize it through computer.

>Cool your jets my guy.

>>126930295
I don't care about Europe though, this is an American website my dude.

Should I get the Uzi or the Dark Flame? I'll be plugging it into a clean amp and boosting it with a tube screamer for the leads. Mainly playing thrash like early Metallica and Megadeth but also plenty of Maiden. These two pedals seem like the best option to get but I can't decide which one to go for.

yeehaw pardners

And if I don't?

>>126930023
what the hell are you talking about

>takes you anywhere you wanna go on its wide range humbuckers

>>126931261
okay so i went with gibson LP because it sounds more brighter and heavier as oppose to the tele deluxe.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEE4SJ_Cs00

the tele sounds flat at the top.

one musician i follow specifically plays tele deluxe live and LP on the album.

help me make up my mind about this debate.

>>126930234
its nice

>>126931299

>>126930331
Honeyburst

>>126931299
also genz dont like gibson. but what does their opinion matter.

>>126931324
see, if you like gibson you're an old boomer.

gibson played through a marshall is a recipe as old as time.

Real big brained guys play teles through marshall in the middle position

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAwdbhyU9QM&list=RDJAwdbhyU9QM&start_radio=1

i think its very funny gibson are still trying to do stealth marketing here
im glad theyre going to go insolvent again

>>126931367
those are single coils.

Why doesn't Gibson sell as much relic shit as Fender? Boomers should love it.

>>126931299
They sound nearly identical outside of clean tones. Go with whichever you think feels better to play.

>>126931423
a beat up warped flaking melted piece of shit les paul would be a standard les paul

>>126931425
the LP is my home but i always gotta keep picking up that tele every now and again

>>126931423
When boomers die off gibson will likely die off too. Even Les Paul hated the les paul. Overpriced, headstock break angle, no tuning stability and exclusive boomer endorsees are not good selling points. Expensive firewood.

>>126931450
>no tuning stability
this is overplayed they hold tune better than many fenders

>>126931450
Genz dont play gibson, they play PRS or LTD

Why didn't humbuckers become as widespread on bass as they are for guitar?

>>126931637
Are they not? p pickups are basically humbuckers, and there's musicman basses

https://vocaroo.com/18Z90ap91O9K
are the note choices horrendously bad or does it sound decent
yes i got a lot of criticism on r9k
ive heard it all already
"you need to play with metronome, you cant have the guitar mixed so loudly yadda yadda"
im just an amateur alright. and thats what i'll continue to be

>>126931637
electric bass sounds dogshit no matter what you do to be honest
its all lipstick on a pig

>>126928751
Bridge alignment costs extra
Play Authentic amirite?

>>126931423
Unless the head stock is snapped off and been re-glued it's not a true relic.

The goal for this weekend is to get the highlighted part down. Im really bored with scales. Learning songs on guitar vs piano or bass makes me feel retarded. Easily the hardest instrument I'll ever play. Kinda makes me want to stick with bass but I also don't feel like quitting cause I know i can do it.

Can't help but feel like I'm missing a little something by not having a tube amp. Talk me out of it bros.

>>126932290
get some friends, maybe join a band and leave this shithole

>>126932359
I wasn't ready for this advice this morning.

The stickers are a subconscious cry for help

>>126932290
get some cheap piece of shit off reverb or whatever used gear page you got locally, see if you like it first

>>126927538
Yeah it does I'm trying it out on bass to see if I can get it to sound cool but it might be going back to the shop.

>>126927631
I want one that comes with a carrying case.

>>126931548
They play offsets.

>>126932290
what tones are you unable to achieve with the JC? that's one of the most iconic clean tones people chase. that being said, >>126932359
is right. you should start writing and playing shows with other people. everyone should do that, that's just not advice for you.

tfw only have two friends who play guitar and one only plays gay chugachuga and the other is a total shut in when it comes to playing guitar and turns down/last minute changes his mind every single time I try to get him to play guitar with me
How do you meet people to play music with that are into the same styles of music as you outside of weird Craigslist adds?

>>126933125
bro your JOI crystal?

>>126933135
No it doesn’t get recharged when playing guitar with a bro who also has a crystal

>>126933125
Half of my friends played guitar and none could play more than basic barre chords, I have long since given up and just became a youtuber

>>126933125
Just go to shows and talk to people. Its just like networking for any other industry. Go to where those people are and meet them.
>>126932290
If you buy a tube amp ill buy a fender

https://youtu.be/huwvabfngkc?t=357

oh fuck yeah im using 500k pots for my SSS build then

>>126933219
I'm not sure if anything this guy says is worth listening to considering how hard he shills toanwoodz

>>126933188
>Its just like networking for any other industry.

This is your brain on the Spectacle

>>126930624
There are bad relics and ones. The main selling point is really the neck. So much smoother. This is mine. I like it. And it was the only guitar I could find handmade for me by a literal billionaire.

tele/stratocasters make great walking sticks

>>126933232
I dont know what that means

bro the same pentatonic shit over and over again for 70 years bro shredding bro bro *sweep picks* bro more pedals just like some literal boomer bro im basically the new version of some homo that was born in the 60s bro *yanks on whammy bar* bro brands bro, gibson fender orange marshall mesa bro, bro tonewood bro tonetubes, bro tone magnets, brand name pickups sound better, i love buying shit bro, bro old shit i'm cool, bro slightly less old shit i'm cool, woah hold on bro is that some actual new shit? fuck off bro, that's not cool, we're all getting our dads approval here bro you can fuck off with your stuff that's too new

tfw guitar shipped

>>126933249
There's no point in making music if you view everything in the world, every social relationship as an industry and everything you dedicate your time towards as an investment.

>>126933271
I was just telling him to quit being a shut in you fucking sperg lmao

>>126933267

>>126927672
What's kind of cool about the "finding them on your own" thing is, for example, Yngwie plays a hybrid Aeolian / Harmonic Minor scale, I guess it's probably technically an 8 tone bebop scale, (basically harmonic minor but you also play the b7, or Aeolian but you also play the nat7) but probably the main 2 reasons he plays it that way is because it's comfortable on the guitar and it sounds good.

They guys who go, "You can never play a wrong note; any time you hit a "bad" note, you're just a half-step away from a good note, so just bend or slide into the good note!" Have NEVER EVER played a sus4 I chord and then landed hard on the b2 ON THE BEAT.

>>126933001
I mostly play with all my dirt pedals. Can't help but feel they'd sound a bit better with some saturation but I could just be wanting to CONSOOOOM. I'll get over it...

>>126933188
Which Fender you thinking? I'll keep you updated. Just even a little Princeton would be neat I think.

>tfw thought I was good, or at least above average, but found out I'M COMPLETE DOG SHIT despite investing years of my life in this instrument

>>126933532
Princeton or Deluxe
Or get a Tone Master just to trigger people

>>126932290
vintage. twin. reverb.

>>126933532
>but I could just be wanting to CONSOOOOM
well with the flop of July 4th gun deals... me too
>which fender you thinking
probably just a strat, i haven't owned one in years, but you've all got me looking at offsets too. I might go play a few today and see. i have a need for a single coil in the bridge and money that i didn't give to geissele.
>inb4 i just buy a tele instead

>>126933255
are you sure you don't want to play metal or metal adjacent punk? you got the attitude for it

>>126933295
Ah allright, I was just making a general point.

>>126933563
Yeah, a lot of people overlook rhythm, I bet that is really your issue, mine as well, but without rhythm you can't go anywhere. To even walk, a human needs rhythm, it is inherent in us. Keep sweating you'll get there. Just let it flow through you, anon-san.

>>126933741
G$ letdown of the year

>strat
Boring. Unironically get a Tele instead

>offset
Highly rec. Careful of modern ones though they all tend to lack features that make JM's and Jag's what they're known for. American Vintage ii JM looks pretty neat, but I don't care for block inlays myself.

guitar is hard and feels impossible

i give up

>>126933835
Nta, but more and more I feel like the Jazzy complements a Tele much better than a Strat. I assume a Jag is largely the same way.

>>126930331
walnut or oxblood
>>126931423
Isn't the entire Murphy Lab catalogue reliced?

It's ironic the more gear you buy the more you limit yourself creatively

>>126932290
Vox Valvetronix

>>126933897
>>126933897
That's just poorfag cope. The most creative guitarists i know irl have huge gear collections

What do you guys think about these cheap Chinese made guitars? Would people (wrongly) assume I'm a fusion god if I show up to the gig with a headless guitar?

>>126933874
bye bye pussy

>>126933897
not true at all. it's not about how much or how little you have it's about you. if you're creative and getting things because you're creative it only expands the possibilities.

>>126933835
>Unironically get a Tele instead
This might be the move. I've owned 3 and loved them. Will post up of i bring something home today.

>>126933927
Depends on what crowd, most music listeners only recognize guitar shaped objects and can't tell how a strat differs from an ibanez

>>126933741
Offset Tele

>>126933919
>>126933932
consoomer cope

Reminder that offset hate is a leftover mindset from the giganormie boomers who only wanted Strats and LesPauls because of Clapton and Page. They hated Teles because they were "country guitars", too, until Radiohead Creep.

Jimi and Stevie Ray did the same thing.
Freshfruitsmoothie is a hack, though.

>>126934202
Memphis did the jazzboxes, ESs, and Custom Shop before they closed it. I think one of the last things they ran were the ES Les Pauls.

It's like it froze to death on the tundra and got partially eaten by wolves

>>126933927
Better than guitar center crap at $200 and these are only 150. It looks like a trem bridge, but's it's a fixed tailpiece and the lever is a tuner wrench.
Expect to add more attention to the fretwork for best results. File any sharp ends a bit. Hammer any down that aren't fully seated and add a whisper of CA glue, probably tape off and or use a toothpick. I have no major complaints.

I would do these same things to major brand guitars that aren't finished to a higher standard.

>>126934324
Do I need little fiddly tools to change a string, or does the guitar come with a charging cable? If so, I'm out.

>>126933958
>HSS Jag
he'll yeah

>>126934599
you need to charge the tuners
