I will not play my bass again until I can play this song on guitar or one of the songs a teacher shows me this week. I will not quit because it's hard because it's fun when it's not hard anymore.

>>126965793
nice bro, im still waiting for my player 2.

>>126965720 (OP)
was putting electronics in acoustic guitars a mistake?

>>126965793
finna bustang

To turn a major chord into a minor chord do I just lift my first finger up

>>126965821
yes

Is PLEK worth it or just a turbojewish scam? I don't have any tech/repairman that I know of in my area

Sweetwater guy is asking me if I want my Ultra 2 to get PLEK'd, sounds like an upsell

>>126965845
when you plek bibi wins.

>>126965845
Why plek a new guitar without seeing it first, and if buying a new guitar why buy a guitar that needs to be plek’d out of the factory?
>>126965817
Bustang a walnut

>>126965845
worth every penny

>>126965845
Ultras don't need a PLEK. They come right or your money back!

https://voca.ro/1btClpiTIsHK

If you buy a Gibson, you don't need to Plek.

Because only a Gibson is good enough.

1st for having more poop recordings than actual music

>>126965845
>not doing your own setups

https://voca.ro/1ir6pfr3Sifo

>>126965964
I split the neck of my first decent guitar trying to get rid of a buzzing first fret

>>126965821
you move your third down a half step. a minor also flats the 6th

>>126965845
ultra probably only has 4 frets that need leveling but a real plek job is awesome and i don't care how good you are as a luthier you aren't getting close if the plek is ran correctly

>>126965912
>and if buying a new guitar why buy a guitar that needs to be plek’d out of the factory?
mass produced guitars have shit setups mostly but not the expensive fenders
gibson is 50-50, it depends on the dealer
only prs is autistic enough to care even with the scale and ses out of indognesia

>>126965993
>a minor also flats the 6th
not inside a chord. a minor 6 chord has the major 6th
ex. Cm6: C, Eb, G, A
if that chord would have a minor 6 then it would be called a Cm add b13: C, Eb, G, Ab

FIRST AND ONLY FOR VOCA
EVERY VOCA IS ME
https://voca.ro/167qyvXSIpyx

>>126966021
i've had 3 american vintage p basses and they all needed setups and high a few high frets. they're definitely playable out of the box but i'd like to see better considering how retarded expensive they are for a fender

https://voca.ro/13kPoq5Y6gfE

>>126966032
weird. thanks for the knowledge

Realisticaly, how long to learn Freebird if I lock in?

Is it true, /gg/uys?
That tone is stored in the balls?

>>126966093
Tone usually can be found at Bada Bing

>>126966093
Yes, this is why women can't get good tone.

I'm sitting there checking out some ukuleles at GC, when this absolute HUNK, dimensions similar to Ronnie Coleman in his prime taps me on my shoulder, he says he likes my playing but I should try tuning the ukulele to EADG like a guitar, he then shows me a couple things and said I should check out this thread, says he posts here sometimes.

>>126965720 (OP)
How does one check out an acoustic? Do you just go for looks? Is there a difference between a cheap Martin/Taylor to a $1000+ version?

>>126966173
Sub $1500 go Yamaha, anything over go Martin. Nothing in between.

>>126966173
Listen to the wood not the strings.
Certain keys will make the wood ring.
Feel the top actually vibrating and the air moving from the sound hole.

What would Kingfish do?

Any of you guys ever give Truefire a shot? It’s shilled by a lot of people on YouTube.

>>126966188
Cordoba. straps of rich Corinthian leather.

>>126966219
I bought the access to Frank Vignola's lessons for a few months, mainly for his picking exercises

I'm sitting here recording poop takes and practicing my gg meta

>>126966247
Eric Haugen is one of the few guitarists on YouTube I actually watch and his videos are informative and educational, and I’m considering some of his courses but I don’t want to spend real life money on snake oil YouTube memes.

Why are arpeggios so hard man I've been playing for years and I still mess up let ring arpeggios let along sweep picking stuff

>>126966279
practice slow
slow and steady wins the race
don't be mab or yngwie immediately

>>126966279
i don't actively practice new techniques. i do it slow and mindlessly while watching tv or something and give it a few months to really marinate. great technique takes like a year at least

>been playing guitar for 20 years
>somewhere along the way realized I could play an E chord 076464
>realized that’s a C shape bar
>realize I can play C shapes, D shapes, E shapes, A shapes, G shapes
>it opens up the fretboard to me and really helps me move around and figure things out
>years go by
>someone comments on how I use the CAGED system
>I don’t even know what that is
>I am entirely self taught and figured those shapes out simply because of figuring out how to play an E in a C shape

I'm surprised Gibson hasn't brought back the invader.

>>126966387
We have enough invaders in the country currently, thank you.

>>126966387
this looks like the shitass epiphone special that no one wants other than parents buying their kid their first guitar for christmas

>>126966387
Gibson is a full blown luxury brand now, that shit looks like an Epiphone but with a Gibson logo it's easily $1500+

>F chord doesn't buzz at the store
>F chord buzzes at both E strings at home
wtf. only thing I can think is maybe the guy at guitar center bent the neck checking to see if it would fit in a hard case that was too deep for it in the body cavity

>>126966093
im what

>>126966552
probably hotter in your house. probably need to loosen the truss rod 1/8 turn

>>126966552
don't adjust the truss rod, you'll void the warranty and snap the neck.

did a genre ever just click spiritually with you? i don't want to play anything but funk bass

>>126966159
did he also have a gretsch hollowbody smelling like liquid shit on his back

>>126966600
numbers confirm it

>>126966600
>>126966650
yup

post yur acoustics

>>126966600
no he smelled like whoppers

Guys I’m starting to really like the Gibson Theodore

>>126966698
sounds like it might have been the grease bandit

>>126966731
cool

>>126966743
I come out as homosexual and all you have to say is “cool”? Rude

>>126966597
I wish, I have to grind my ass off to play literally anything

>>126966799
nice ass bro
(i have a bass so im kind of gay)

>>126966822
so if you are a guitar player and a bass player you are bi?
guitar players are straight and chad?
and bass players are homos?

>>126966873
Guitar players are incels, bass players are homos, drummers are dudebros, singers are closeted homos.

you're telling me gripping and stroking phallic objects all day is gay?

guitar players look like this?

>>126966888
the hints was all around us all along

I don't really like gay dudes, they come into my dreams and blow me like fuck off faggot i ain't gay so stop sodomizing me in my dreams

all the
>hey, i just got a guitar a week ago
questions are fake, right?

hey, i just got a guitar a week ago how do i shred licks like steve vai

>>126966219
Paul Gilbert teaches a course on ArtistWorks on playing metal guitar using a learn-by-playing method. He answers questions on the forum and personally critiques everyone's homework videos

Hey, I just got a guitar a week ago (pic related), and I'm having trouble staying in tune and anything after fret 5 just sounds really weird and buzzy

>>126966984
Sounds like it needs its truss rod adjusted you probably got a bow in the neck, tighten your tuners as well should help the stability.

Just started playing a week ago is this good progress or should I just give up?
https://voca.ro/1oWcY6GYCGd0

>>126967025
yeah there is no hope for you bro, i would pick up the bass instead if i was you

>>126967025
Sounds like wankery, maybe start with some Beano era Clapton instead

What’s the deal with Telecasters?
It’s the only guitar that insults you while you play it.
No contours, no forgiveness just a slab of wood and a cold stare.
You bend a note and the Tele goes, “That’s all you got?”
And every guy who plays one insists it’s the purest tone
Yeah, pure pain.
It’s like Fender made a torture device and Nashville turned it into a personality.

any SF bass players want to meet up

What’s the deal with Pride Month?
It’s a month! I don’t even get a week for my birthday!
Suddenly every company’s got rainbow logos
Even oil companies! "Come fill up with us... we’re inclusive polluters!"
And have you seen the parades? It’s like Mardi Gras had a baby with a disco ball.
I’m not complaining I’m just saying,
June used to be about summer… now it’s about sequins and statements.

Yeah make each other jam in your bholes

I love this hobby so much everyone hates my shitty playing and I can't share my lack of improvement with the world. poo poo pee pee

Wrote this riff. It's so hard to play on time and not fuck up. It sounds simple but there's string skipping and the fingering is really awkward. I also have a lead melody with octaves that goes behind it but I can't even play the thing for two bars without fucking it up.
https://vocaroo.com/1k74qZOLJeCM

Put my first pedalboard together today, filled up one row of 6, the bare row looks empty as fuck. Going to have to fill it up, so I just ordered the Notaklon. Wifey is going to do some artwork on it.
Might get a fuzz today too.

>>126967256
thats rock and roll dude, far out man

>>126967266
this is pretty tight my guy, add some twiddlies and cry in the background and you got some midwest emo

>>126967292
I'm a little drunk rn and it is really awkward to play I'm usually really tight. But I have some octaves with open droning strings that will hit hard. I want to actually write the rest of this song. Too bad I'm 38 and nobody will care even if it's good.

How expensive are jap fenders in the US? Here the basic models are typically around the $500 mark which is the same as new squier CVs

>everyone begs epiphone for years to put the gibson headstock on their les pauls
>instead they make a whole new line with Gibson electronics and price them higher than low end gibsons

the IBGC line is retarded, they should have just changed the regular epiphones, people would have even paid $100 extra for the open book headstock

>>126967324
You want a non scuffed paul for cheap goyim? Too bad

>>126966173
best is to actually have someone else play them so you can hear what comes out of the soundhole directly. what you hear/feel while playing isn't an entirely accurate representation.
pay attention to top and bottom end clarity, that's what the majority of different materials and shapes will change.
based on mostly true boomer lore, having a solid wood top is most important for resonance. the back is nice to have solid (non-ply) too, as it is the secondary resonating surface but it still has much less impact than the top. and for the sides, literally no one cares except for the boomeriest of boomers. ply is fine for sides. spruce tops are stronger so they can be thinner, which makes them brighter than most other tops. side and back wood again aren't as important here.

tl;dr:
try before buy (ergonomics is arguably the most important thing here)
listen to someone else play it
solid spruce top (if you like how that looks)
solid wood back (if in your budget)
ply sides
make sure to smell all the guitars too because the smell of acoustic wood and wood glue makes me pop a boner

>>126967282
more josh trash

>>126967322
They used to be not too much more than Mexican models and were a great value, now they’re much less than American models and the value isn’t there. I still prefer a lot of the Japanese Fenders because of the narrower 42mm nut on some of them.

>>126967363
*now they’re not much less than American models

>>126967363
you like narrow nuts

>>126967324
What makes it worse is the fact they discontinued the les paul classic and tribute, then released a bunch of different studios with a price increase.

now people will just buy used gibsons or chibsons. since they have been priced out.

you can get a clean used 90s studio or a classic thats a couple of years old for less than the IBGC epiphones.

>>126967363
ok yeah but what's the price range exactly, 800 to 1k?

Jap fenders used to be good, they had the same models from the 80s to the early 2010s. but then fender japan ceased operations and now FMIC controls production and they have bunch of shitty models.

>>126967372
Yeah you like fat thick face covering throat gurgling nuts ya homo

>>126967387
Depending on the model $1200-$1500, some $2000+

i got perma banned from the gear page for calling stewmac "jewmac"

>>126967405
Lmao just say it was a typo

>>126967411
they don't let you protest or appeal. not that i care
i hate any website where the majority of users are baby boomers

>>126967399
cool your jets my guy

>>126967416
I like TGP but I just ignore all boomerposters unless they’re showing off detailed pics of their vintage guitars

>>126967421
Yeah you’d like too cool my jets ya homo

>>126967424
i hate all of these sites because it's almost exclusively boomers sperging out about irrelevant shit no one cares about
but i also frequent tdpri since i'm a tele guy and goddamn, that is a TOUGH site to visit. you need some thick skin over there because the 70 year old boomers that spend all day there refuse to ever in their lives admit they are wrong and attack anyone with a differing opinion

>>126967404
geez, might be cheaper to ship one yourself, or even fly to japan to pick one

i sometimes go to iorr.org
if you know, you know. there is not a more toxic and evil forum for guitar on the internet

>>126967405
you aren't wrong, lol

>>126967498
their shipping prices are criminal. just straight up theft. so i called them "jewmac" and a bunch of literal 80 year olds threw a fit

>>126966677

>try out shitload of models of amps and cabs

Sorry?

i want a martin d28 so fucking bad. everytime i'm at a music store with one i play for an hour
but then i play a gibson j45 and decide i want that more and go home with neither because i'm too indecisive

acoustic? more like acoustSUCKS

>>126967518
i hate taylors but i really like the way the custom grand auditoriums sound. the 7th chords sound so sweet on them

>>126967453
There are businesses in the US where that is all that they do and they drive the prices way up

>>126967535
i dunno what it is about taylors but i've never played one and had it "click" for me. not the way martins or gibsons do

Nothing like kicking back and playing your authentic Gibson guitar, bros.

>>126967518
just get both

>>126967552
i think the $4k+ ones have unique bracing pattern which changes the sound a lot. there was a used one with a repaired crack in the top at GC one time and it sounded great

>>126967573
I generally hate Les Pauls, but my R7 just feels too good to play.

man maybe i should just buy the fucking real thing
(not pictures is about 20 other 5150 captures i have further down the list)

>>126967613
what's the R stand for takes it up the ass lmao

Retard, which is what I feel like for paying that much for a guitar.

>>126967518
why a dread? i like the smaller body acoustics.

What do people mean when they say 'global pentatonic scale'?

Fender is hilarious, they gatekept the 22 fret neck for the longest time. Japan is still not allowed to make 22 fret necks. Mexico player series was the first import 22 fret neck with Fender on the neck
I didn't confirm that either just a guess

>>126968264
not really. just like playing with a chorus kind of. initially tuning them and changing the strings is kind of annoying but doable

>>126968264
go to a guitar store and try a 12 string knucklehead

>>126968326
I'm scared

>>126968255
neck pickup is the best sound on a strat and it would be in a different spot on 24
also, 24 is a meme, 22 is plenty, bend to the high E

I am too brainlet to into reverb pedals. My amp's built in spring reverb sounds good enough for me, I don't need to get all dreamy with it and I don't see any other point.

Who the fuck cares using a lot of reverb makes you sound like a faggot

Thats kind of my point why do people need pedals that do 5 kinds of reverb at once it sounds retarded

>>126968350
I kinda want a 24-fret, 7-string Strat with just two humbuckers

Triple singles in a 7-string looks kinda stupid

Because Paul actually does care. He started building guitars because he wanted people to have great guitars. That was the goal, and that hasn't changed.

>>126969374
>He's a dumb boomer who shills toanwood tho
>>126969489
>Paul cares about whatever will make him more money
Not only is that untrue, the reality is actually completely the opposite.

Paul cares about what sounds best. He's always believed that what matters is the sound, and the cost is whatever it has to be to achieve that. That's what he's always told me, and I think his instruments have always reflected that.

You may not be able to hear the differences, or afford them. But the reason (imo) Paul's been so successful is he's always put the quality of his instruments first. That's given his company a consistent direction over 40 years, rather than simply chasing whatever will maximize that quarter's unit revenue.

I think that's also exhibited in the insanely high quality the company has brought to their budget SE line. A Silver Sky SE, out of the box and under $1K, sounds every bit as good as a pre-CBS Strat costing 25x as much. That's not merely remarkable, up until now it was considered completely impossible.

And that happens not because of a desire to maximize revenue but because of a desire to get the best instruments into as many guitarists' hands as possible.

I admit my view of Paul may be shaped by having known him for a long time, but his guiding philosophy has always been to make the best possible instruments, and if he did then the company's success would follow. I'd say history has proved him right - and guitarists everywhere are wildly better off for it.

paul get off the focking internet

Climate change, my nigga, but for real though instead of exaggerated fear mongering. I’ve had guitars show up perfectly set up only to start buzzing a few days later, or taken them on trips where they come back needing adjustments. Best to just into learning how to do basic set up..

>>126966021
>>126965912
>>126965845
Sometimes the guitars out of factory have awesome setups, my player strat was already perfect. I got my bass setup at guitar center and they made it worse. Find a local place if you're going to get it done.

Anything wrong with a spider line 6 HD100?

Can get an amp head and cab for under 800 bux

Anybody have experience with Fender silver faces? I borrowed one for a gig years ago and loved it. The cleans were amazing with buttery smooth breakup. I really want to get one. Is the remake they're selling now even similar or is it just the same aesthetic?

>>126970977
Why not pay one of the gazillion other luthiers instead of fender

>>126966387

>>126965912
What color pickguard would look best on a Mustang like this? Are you gonna keep it black or try other color pickguards?

Is there any strat model where the output jack is on top of the pickguard? Coulda sworn I saw some weird 70's strat with it

>>126971046
it's fine as it is, matches the inlays and knobs etc.

>>126971048
Yes some Dan Smith era Strats have only one tone knob and the output jack is where the second tone knob would be.

>>126970923
>450 USD
I wouldn't spend that either

>>126965912
That's a lovely finish. What year and series?

>>126971046
And why a maple neck? Wouldn’t a rosewood fretboard be more accurate and look better?

>>126971061
which is how they should come standard

>>126971061
In my memory it's the angled jack like on normal strats instead of just the small hole, but maybe I remembered it wrong

>>126971083
They’re cool but they’ve got weird vibratos and that’s always turned me off from them. A hardtail Dan Smith era Strat would be cool.

>>126971072
nta but nothing looks better than 1 piece maple necks

Anything better under $350?

>>126971114
But on a body with a finish that dark?

ok /gg/ i have a challenge for you
https://www.kieselguitars.com/builder/guitar

see if you can make a more expensive, uglier guitar than this thing

>>126971180
I refuse to give Kiesel even a click.

geegee signature model

>>126971140
Mono 15 is the best in the class. Joyo is close, zero maintenance, the hb might be a better cab.

did you lock in your preorders /gg/?

don't forget your case too

tell me you didn't miss out on this beauty...

I just can't take seriously any brands that build signature models for youtubers, I hate them all

ola has been shilling fender for years
when will rick pick up solar guitars

for me its the joey D san dimas

>>126971647
Can't wait for these beauties to go to 10k

>>126971739
What about signature models for anime girls?

>>126971775
very kawaii

>>126971747
always wanted one of these, old looking but not roadworn

solar are too new for beato meato to sperg out about vintage being better just because

going for my first electric after a year of acoustic, thoughts?

player 2 hss chambered strat
uhd 204 audio interface
Ath-m50x headphones
guitar rig 6 (pirated from rutracker)

Imagine being alive when this first came out
>bunch of ergonomic improvements over previous gens which were all basic slabs of wood
>double cut, belly cut, all modular design, tremolo, all things unheard of
>almost all its electronics mounted on the pickguard, extremely convenient to service and swap out components
The strat was cutting edge stuff

>>126971739
this

>>126971888
Jack needs to be relocated on the side bottom like modern guitars, keep the top jack for vintage guitars.

>>126971922
Nah it's way better to not have to feel around for a jack you can't see, until people started making huge jack tips that don't fit for some reason

>>126971922
I hate the angled Strat jack, it always seems to work itself loose. The superior jack is straight on the face of the body using a 90°.

what's the point of heavy gauge guitar strings? they're harder to play, can't bend as far, and break more easily.
where's the advantage?

>>126971888
And that's why it's THE electric guitar. It's gotta be a Strat.

>>126971976
This desu, notable jazzmaster improvement. Best used with 90 degree cable though.

>needing a cable jack
I simply turn on my onboard qi charged Bluetooth Enhanced Active Transmission Output (made with vintage allen bradley resistors) that syncs up directly with my Knobflensuccer modeling buffer (complete with over 300 preamps included with base subscription plan) on my sweetwater exclusive usb to skynet interface. imagine actually needing to worry about plugging all of the intricacies of plugging in a cable that might have germs or poop on it.

>>126972034
Maintain tension with lower tuning. They're less bright. They're more stable to pitch when fretting.

Thinner strings break more easily.

>>126972034
Rounder and darker low-end (across all strings) on clean tones.
More tension for lowered tunings.

>>126972171
I was thinking about permanently connecting a katana go to a strat pickguard so it has a proper headphone output at all times, but this is even better. Bluetooth transmitters suck though, they need a good UI to pair.

>>126972034
Chug chungus

if Gibson moved production to china
>prices improve
>QC improves

win win

music city special dropped

the final nail in the rosewood gibbons coffin was thinking boomers would buy guitars that tuned themselves instead of just unfucking their QC. what a hilarious company

>>126972287
I'd say tariffs but it would still be cheaper than american made

>>126972367
The robot guitar version 2 will play itself.

What type of pen should I pick up for an autograph on my guitar? I got invited over to get it signed by an old musician (not a guitarist) and figured the offer was too good to pass up.

do i really need to bring a guitar fren who knows electrics when i decide to buy one
how do you check out electrics anyway? they're barely set up and not tuned most of the time once hanged on the wall
some of them have been touched by a ton of other people and have been exposed to lights and dust from inside the store, only the expensive ones are segregated away in their own section

>>126972747
Sharpie then clear coat

>>126972783
Call sweetwater. They're better frens

>>126972367
>unfucking their QC
not possible with american labor anymore lmao

no best korea masterwork instrument to enjoy

>>126971140
Literally me but instead of a Strat I went with a SE Custom 24

I don't want to be like those gay Boss Katana/Positive Grid faggots

>made in mexico? third world garbage
>made in america? still made by mexicans
>made in japan? chinesium tier
>made in china/SEA? might as well buy from temu
so which country makes guitars that DON'T suck???

>>126972833
>made in america? still made by mexicans
I watch guitar factory videos and both Gibson and PRS had the whitest employees compared to say Fender, Schecter and Ibanez with Fender being the worst offender.

Imagine paying for a custom shop worth thousands of dollars and it's still assembled by the same Mexican making the standard US guitars. The only time a real white guy will handle your guitar is around Masterbuilt level which costs even more shekels.

>>126972827
The advantage of the Bantamps is that they just play. There's no bullshit app or 100 tones to juggle.

>>126972854
every gibson vid I've seen the employees are 50% trailer trash rednecks, 25% black, 25% other (incl. non trailer white & mexican)

>>126972927
trailer trash rednecks are the hardest workers in the country atm even if they are strung out on meth

>>126972927
No europoors allowed

>>126972949
the type europoors that immigrate to work somewhere like a gibson factory already were adjacent to or become whitetrash overnight

>>126972783
Climb the wall to get to the really good stuff. Alternatively, buy one online and if it's not good you can always return it.

Anyone can operate a cnc machine. Quit being racist.

>>126973104
that is definitely not true

>>126973115
Well, not if you're blind. But most certainly any able bodied person of any race. Fender and Gibson both underestimated East Asian craftsmanship and it costed them.

>>126970624
Player 1? I have the same experience. I thought maybe it was just me but everyone else who has played it was equally blown away by the quality and setup. I wouldn’t trade it for any US Strat I’ve picked off the wall in the last few years.

>>126970977
The custom shop is extremely limited these days unless you have some kind of clout.

>>126970977
>I want a 7-string, 24 fret Strat
Maybe you shouldn't want that?

>>126971072
Fuck looks, if mine didn’t have painted headstocks I’d swap for maple boards in a heartbeat.

>>126965720 (OP)
WHY ARE ALL THESE TUNED TO DROP D
GODDAMN KIDS

how come there's no cheap digitech drop / dt alternative? where is the guitar world innovation. flying cars they said

>>126973202
wrong, it's always open as long as you have shekels and time to wait
dealers who refuse "custom" builds should be put out of business
that's why sweetwater and the music zoo are thriving, they don't care as long as the customer pays
the snobby boomer shits like wild west, emerald, casino, cme, wild west are going the way of the dodo

>>126973189
Not sure whether it was a player 1 or player 2. You can get good instruments from anywhere is my point. Meanwhile my player jazz bass has a stiff neck and the tech had trouble getting it to a low action without the neck being stressed.

bros my FL studio has no Newtime plug in installed. I need it to adjust my guitar recordings to the proper beat I want. Is it possible to download that plug in separately? I can't update FL studio because I have the cracked version.

>>126972833
Buy a 10-15 year old jap guitar or a 20+ year old Mexican fender. Early 00s Mexican fenders are as good if not better than modern Corona made Fenders. That can be chalked up to the competency crisis and economy alone.

>>126973281

Why use a 5150 to go for the VH1 sound? Is that ToneX? Do you have all the ToneX Max models? Try one of the Marshall Super Lead tone models (Bright Luck, Plex Power, or Plaexi Driver... maybe Green Plexi) and add some reverb.
