Tele Tuesday edition

Twangin' my shit.

Why do I like/want this?

I just bough a guitar, when do I start playing Eurption?

>your guitar is ready for pickup

>>126974115
she looks so disappointed

>>126974119
I would be as well

>>126974115
she listened to the vocaroos

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.

>>126974231
saaar you must download a crack with newtime then, find a more up to date crack. Also there's probably lots of alternative tools to adjust your recordings, and you should probably learn to play in time

>he needs to connect to motherbrain and ask permission to record guitar

>>126973941 (OP)
>one pickup on a tele
>it's not the bridge one

you guys don't actually buy instruments from amazon right?

>>126974340
Certainly not. Every brand worth owning has their own site or is carried by better sites than Amazon. And what's more, those amazon joke guitars can't keep up with a Squier, much less an Ibanez or Fender.

>>126974332
it has the bridge pickup
that guitar features the so called "ashtray" pickup cover over the bridge pickup. originally teles came like this
everyone removed those

>>126974340
perish the thought. I buy knockoffs from ebay instead

>>126974340
>>126974404
I bought my Squire from Amazon but partially regret it. The local music store offers free setups with a purchase

>>126974448
based

>>126974340
I dont give *mazon money at all

>>126974454
Well, at least you got a real entry level guitar. Just remember that buying local is best, and the official site/sweetwater second best.

>>126974283
Wish I still had an actual tape 8 track. I currently have a digital 24 track and I can get the lo-fi sounds I’m looking for, but those old tape recorders have a sound that is pure sovl. It’s not a meme, everything done via interface/DAW all sounds soulless and the same. Same goes for amps/modeling, if you disagree you’re wrong and anything you reply will be disregarded.

>>126974527
I agree. I sold my old portastudio when the prices started going up and now wish I had one to record with, but I would have to pay double what I got for mine.

>>126974454
used to amazon would resell open box or returns as new. i know there are shitloads of counterfeits now but i haven't used amazon in so long i dont know if the former is still true

>>126974527
lmao boomer

>>126974555
We used tape recorders for music in the 00s too. Are you 18 or older?

>>126974578
>uhhh leh old is sovl and if you disagree you're literally are kid
kek

>>126974231
>adjust my guitar recordings to the proper beat
just record them again

>>126974593
>>uhhh leh old is sovl and if you disagree you're literally are kid
Exactly.

>>126974593
You're going "boomer" at shit a 20 year old likely knows about and used themselves, so yeah you sound like a kid.

>>126974340
If you don't buy cords from amazon you're wasting money. One cable in a store cost 25 dollars but you can get a 2-4pack on Amazon same price.

If you arent mining, refining, and extruding copper conductors for use in cables you're literally burning millions of dollars over the course of your lifetime

sorry for the peaky bass, i recorded on my phone. working on my one finger slap technique. thoughts?
https://voca.ro/1h5AUqq9weHi

>>126974708
buy a good cable and use it for years. one of mines almost 10.

Bros I'm an alcoholic.

Also I wish I had a flying V. Gibby is out of my reach so I'll have to settle for the Epi one. I like the 70s model more than the OG but the latter has even better fret access which is nice. Vs are the shit, every other shape just pales in comparison.

>>126974786
thanks for the fun fact, hope you get that V but in the meantime just sit your guitar more upright / in classical position if it's the ergonomics you want

>>126974786
Are you the guy with the Jackson V? What's wrong with that?

>>126973941 (OP)
Oh yeah!

>>126974593
It’s not impossible to get decent sounds out of a modern setup but the vast majority of those who use it don’t. It’s just a simple fact. You could accuse me of relying on lower fidelity equipment as a crutch, and that’s partially true, but there’s still that element of the warmth and organic sounds you get from tape and even more so from analog tape recording. Also, plenty of younger people record with tape, they’re usually consider hipsters by plebs like yourself. Really though they just have better taste and a more discerning ear than you do.

>>126974721
I had a solid collection of instrument, patch, speaker, pedal power converters, etc. in a bag that I accumulated over 20 years that were all still functional. Then a cat pissed inside of it. If you can avoid cats and/or humidity, cables will last a long time.

>>126974867
>Really though they just have better taste and a more discerning ear than you do.
Oooh you cooked him

>>126974807
Thanks, won't be any time soon but eventually I'll get it. I've got a King V and after getting used to that, playing regular guitars while sitting just doesn't feel nearly as comfortable. Playing LP standing up is pretty nice though, although I do love the look of a V much more.

>>126974822
I do have a King V yeah, I think I posted about it when I was trying to do a setup myself. And failed. It's actually pretty nice to play but it's the cheapo series and has plenty of issues, mostly with tuning. Took it to a tech yesterday and the guy said it's got faulty string spacing on the bridge which sucks. It also came out of the factory built so that the bottom of the neck pocket sticks out from the neck and the neck plate sticks out of the pocket. You get what you pay for I guess. I do enjoy playing it a lot even with all the issues it's got but even if I had a nicer Jackson I'd still want a flying V. That classic shape of a Gibby V is just too gorgeous.

Why do classical have their tuners facing back? What's the advantage of that?

>>126975001
that's how they looked in the 18th century

>>126975001
they used to be pegs going straight up through the headstock without gearing.

>>126975001
Gypsy guitars have that too

>>126974786
how much do you spend on booze each year? how much is a gibby v?

>>126973999
Too pointy for the classic vibe its attempting.

I lied, I'm still practicing bass even tho I cant play guitar. But I'm forcing myself to use a pick until I can play on guitar

>>126975036
What's the disadvantage of that?

>>126974551
I bought a NEW Boss GX-10 from amazon that was clearly used. Smudges on the screen, gunk under the switches. Fuck that, never again.

>>126975212
easier to tune with a gear in the equation, and the gear brings a level of precision that a single peg can't.

>>126974867
People are so concerned with recording methods and gear and tone. How about writing good songs?

>>126975073
I could have bought that Epi with all the money I spent on beer this year alone. Add the money I spend on tobacco and I could have probably gotten that Kirk Hammett Epi V. I it's been months since I went all day without drinking anything.

Looks sleeker that way but they don't fit in cases unless you rest the tuners up against the back. Idk but seems like a bad idea to put that much weight on them.

Post a do-it-all guitar that does it all.

>>126975404
les paul with coil tap/split and a competent player

>>126975420
>competent player
I don't have that tho

>>126975258
Different skillsets, different priorities. A lot of guitarists aren't songwriters, they are concerned with their instrument and its place in a band. At which point you are becoming concerned with things like tone and gear.

>>126974340
You guys don't actually buy instruments you haven't held and played first, right?

>>126975588
Shut up and take a shower, fuck. People do things differently, we live in a variety of personalities, goals and archetypes.
Stop whining about how other people do things.

>>126975601
How do you even know you're going to like a guitar from a description? Don't be retarded.

>>126975269
Cash in your beer cans, buy bottle shelf liquor, rip copper pipes out of walls for cash, sell plasma, blood, sperm, etc

>>126975618
Personally I buy from Sweetwater whenever possible. It's not just a blind buy, you see pictures of the individual guitar you're buying and even usually get a choice between 3 examples of the model you're purchasing.
As far as playability, anything that can't be handled with a knowledgeable setup is a dud and needs to be returned regardless. But I've never seen that from Sweetwater.
And if you're buying used you usually get pictures of every angle under the sun and know exactly what you're getting.

>>126975618
have you not heard of YouTube before? You can hear the guitar you want before you buy it.

When someone says a particular guitar feels good to them, 99% of what they're experiencing is a setup that fits their playing. That can be replicated with any guitar.
The rest, things like weight and finish, can be chosen to taste from a good seller.

>>126975657
Youtube won't tell you if the guitar is too heavy for your liking or if the neck is too thin/thick for your hands, retard.

>>126975758
It literally will... many reviewers list weight and neck profile.

>>126975739
who are you talking to

>>126975758
I had to get used to playing right handed, I'm sure anything else won't be too bad

>>126975564
Didn't think about it like that. I get it.

>>126974340
no i buy from seedy facebook vendors

>>126975758
I play bass no neck is too thick for me

>>126975801
While what I said above is true, there's also the more honest answer that tone and gear are skill-less concerns and are thus an easy rabbit hole for people to get lost into instead of actually playing their instrument and improving.

>>126975404
Telecaster with this thing nobody realizes they can use called a “tone knob” or a Les Paul Special with a compensated bridge. You don’t need more.

>>126975618

How do you know you won't enjoy kissing another man? Huh? Think before you speak next time, dummy.

>>126975905
got his ass

>>126975941
pause

>>126973941 (OP)
Is there any reason to get an edwards fender-style guitar over a squier classic vibe?
I love my edwards LP to death but it came with aftermarket SD PAF copies and I got like 450$ of normal reverb price- most people say modern epis are on par or better new.
Thing is... a lot of these edwards teles especially look like SEXXXXX, we're talking body and neck binding and using seymour duncans for all the pickups, high-quality electronics and 500k-1mb pots too.

>>126975965
Get a G&L ASAT Tribute

>>126975864
Which matches my initial impression. So, not all gear fags are posers, but all posers are gear fags.

>>126976010
This looks like a dirty girl with that psuedo-p90 in the neck but if I'm popping 600+ I want hentai niggadashi in the ESP sweatshop double checking all of the chinese sweatshop labor's work.
Opposedly, squire CVs pop up on sale or used for under 400$ but the electronics are questionable and most pickups need a swap eventually.

>>126976039
Ope

>>126976039

Those are closer to jazzmaster pick-ups than p90s, sonically

>>126976039
You can get them with regular single coils or in an SH config.

>buying a guitar with only half a pickup
ick

>>126975905

tfw kim deal still isnt my gf

If your frets don't have nibs, it's not a gibs

I’ve got Bustang #2 upstairs for the evening. Sometimes it’s tricky deciding which guitar to retire with for the evening with the wealth of options I have currently. For years I thought offsets were gay and finicky beyond being worth the effort (really it was a cope of not being patient and being too poor to afford good ones). They can definitely be a pain, especially if you get a lemon offset, but if you get a good one with a good setup they’re way more fun than having a good Strat or Les Paul IMO. This is a 2012 MIJ and it’s got a perfect set up that I will maintain meticulously. So fast playing, perfect action and string tension, it stays in tune no matter how hard I play it or push the trem.

>>126975588
I’ve had a retardedly good string of luck buying without playing. My last 5 have been bought online, mostly used and have all been better than expected. I know when to stop looking the horse in the mouth though, and also I need to chill, I’ve spent almost five grand on gear so far this year. If you vet the seller on reverb you can usually rest easy, most of the guitars I mentioned came from music stores or specialty dealers selling on reverb. You can never be too careful though, especially if you’re picky and can’t into DIY repairs and setups.

>>126975739
Saying it can be replicated on any guitar is hyperbolic bordering on retarded. You might get somewhere close on a GOOD guitar, but you can only apply so much perfume to a turd.

>>126976604
Sorry, you're right there was a bit of hyperbole there. But I wouldn't even say "good"...any averagely-built guitar can be set up to play well. If you pick up 5 American Standards with the same specs and one of them feels especially good, much of the time it can be quantified by it being a superior setup as opposed to a superior instrument.

>>126976492
Luv me stang, excited for my new one

>>126976604
buying boutique pickups and fart sniffer electronics matters like 2% when pickup location matters 90%

>>126976492
she's so pretty

I recognize that I only buy new things to have something to look forward to in my shitty life

>>126976492
>>126976642
how much do your mustangs weigh?

>>126976732
Such is the reality of capitalism. Acquisition is the only path to fulfillment, which is ultimately empty as objects lose meaning with time.

>>126975588
it takes me 3 hours to drive to the nearest music store(and 3 hours back home), so yes, yes i do.

>>126975588
I shipped guitar from thomann to us without trying, no regrets.

>>126976766
Same except 5

>>126976642
What did you get?

>>126976675
thank you

>>126976746
A cunthair under 7lbs. Feels lighter than that though. I need to get a proper scale, I’m using a digital foot scale. My Vintera Stang is a bit heavier but comes with a bit beefier sound as well so it’s worth it and nice to have some contrast with the petite, jangly and clear as a bell Fiesta Stang.

so
shielding paint and copper tape is boomer bullshit basically?

>>126976634
For sure, agreed. To be honest I was just going on in the last thread about how my Player 1 Strat feels better than any American Fender I’ve played in the past decade and chalked a good deal of that up to the setup on top of being a stellar example likely made by a batch of employees who just got raises. The only Strat I can say feels significantly better is my friend’s ‘84 elite Strat he inherited from his dad. That thing is a work of art but it weighs about 15 lbs and has gold hardware and weird 1980s top of the line components.

>>126975588
<$2000 it's fine to buy them online especially if they're from Sweetwater.

Unless you've never held an electric guitar before or if you want to check how the guitar feels then you go to the nearest music store.

Before my local GC closed down I used to grope necks and get a feel of different brands of guitars just so I have an idea of how they feel and play. It's 80% neck and 20% body; not everyone will want a Gibson chonk neck because boomers lived with it in the 50s or a limpdick faggot ultra thin neck like an Ibanez because muh noodling.

>>126976831
no it definitely makes a difference for unpotted and single coil pickups. the problem is that 90% of shit on the market isn't actually conductive or have continuity

>wake up
>the first thought forming in my head is "another day i can play guitar" as a smile forms on my face
>a sense of calm washes over me
>go to my kitchen and make coffe and take some adderall
>get my shitplank
>write a small shitpost as im drinking my coffe and letting the addies kick in
life is good bro/gg/s

>>126976831
not bullshit
unless you're a stupid boomer you should be using noiseless pickups in 2025+

>>126976831
The pickguard ground shielding actually helps, but I don't think boxing around all the control circuit really helps that much.

>>126976892
Hmm, so you mean a lot of the haters of these practices got scammed by shitty/non conductive products? i can see that, however my main gripe with it is sure, you can basically make a faraday cage in your pickup cavities and the party room in the back, BUT the single coils will still be exposed towards the strings no?
so is it more of a.. eliminate as much as possible kind of deal?
i bought a 200 dollar SSS squier to test out if i liked it or not, sold it off and ordered a player II with SSS, this is why im asking basically.


(yeah, i know there is little to no sense in shielding a guitar with humbuckers)

>>126976957
eliminate as much as possible. low voltage is extremely susceptible to interference. i'm not sure exactly how low the voltage is coming out of a passive pickup but it's very very low. you can't run your line voltage next to your low voltage wires in a split unit air conditioner for example because the voltage bleed will cause errant readings in the computer on the low voltage side and the unit won't run right. it's probably not so big of a deal on the string side because the strings and bridge are on the ground part of the circuit already

>>126976957
Shielding deals with RFI not 60 cycle hum.

>>126974340
>you guys don't actually buy instruments from amazon right?
Censtar makes the BEST TELE CLONE EVER for $200
>switch to turn humbuckers to single coil mode
>roasted maple neck
>very solid construction that makes Fender/Squire teles feel cheap
Its just the best tele clone, dont care that I bought it on Amazon

>>126976976
>>126976988
Aha, i see im kind of on the right track then. Thanks bros. I do not have a bunch of studio lights and shit to consider(RFI).

I think my current plan of attack will be to just replace the cheap shielding on the back of a pickguard i have and see if i need to do more.

Also, anyone got any good diagrams on how to wire up SSS but with a push/pull pot to enable the neck in any position?

>>126977013
>HH instead of HS on a Tele
>coil split switch instead of a pushpull
>truss rod at the bottom
>no pickguard
This can't be the best Tele clone sadly. I DO like that it has forearm contour though.

>>126977075
>Also, anyone got any good diagrams on how to wire up SSS but with a push/pull pot to enable the neck in any position?

>>126977103
Ah its that simple, sweeeet. Thanks.

>>126976909
LEGAL METH FUCK YEA

whole threads full of nothin but speccy bams

>>126977013

>>126977013
is this a sales pitch, that thing looks repulsive lol

>paying more to have some boomer manhandle your guitar with keys and chains
do they really

>>126977170
only the reliced versions are available on Amazon now but you can buy them direct here:
https://censtarguitar.com/product/censtar-electric-guitar-tl-orange/

>relics

>>126977182
Right, if I'm going to a physical store I'm buying used, because all the guitars on display are basically used stuff

>>126977195
this is 100% accurate

>>126977195
and thats why you dont order online from small music stores, they will ship you the floor model for new price.

>>126976746
My Japanese one says over 8 pounds on my bathroom scale but that can’t be right, it’s a poplar body which is a lighter wood. The one coming in is ash and the seller says it’s 7.25 pounds and that sounds light for an ash Mustang and there’s no way ash will be heavier than poplar
>>126976827
1977 stang

>>126977228
All three of my local stores have floors lower than new. You're gettin fleeced.

>>126977250
>You're gettin fleeced.
I just sent them back and ordered from thomann instead.
I wanted to support the small stores but, when you are paying basically new price for a guitar hundreds of people have fingerfucked its ehh, i dont like being cucked.

>>126977278
Not mine, mine was built by a dude in his workshop with his son, can't even get one if you wanted hes got a 4 year waiting list.

best way to relic a guitar is just treat it like the piece of wood that it is, don't baby it. Throw it on the couch, stack em against each other, stack em on the wall, bump the headstock into shit while you play around the house. every ding adds to the mojo but only if it happens on accident.

>>126977308
>not just being a man and building your own
>letting another man build you a guitar
I bet you’d let him fuck your girl too huh you cuckold

>>126977278
idc as long as it comes in the box in pristine condition, meanwhile everything on the wall has dull frets, fingerprints all over, dust, some even rusty screws and/or hardware

>>126977308

We live in a society anon, he built my guitar because he has the tools, space and know how. I painted his building because that's the tools and know how I have.

If a shop doesn't have NOS stock and only sells floor models walk away and leave.

Same thing with amps, pedals and modellers.

An ultra jewish local shop sent me a floor model/used Tonemaster Pro and claimed it was brand new and refused a refund so I complained to Fender with pics and receipt and they sent me a new one no questions asked.

Handmade custom guitars are cool. Still traded it tho, if it was a little more up my alley I’d have kept it.

Pic mite b rotated, idgaf if it is

hell yeah anon

you guys seein' this ?

Nothing wrong with floor models, especially if your place sets them up for free. Stop treating your tools like they're women.

>>126977438

Is it supposed to be easier to play midway up the fretboard?

>>126977490
i'm not familiar with the song midway

>>126977490
Nope you should get that checked out.

>>126977490
you should see a doctor

>>126977508
>>126977510
>>126977521
Sorry if I worded it weird.
I meant I find it easier to play around the 12th fret than the first frets

>>126977531
sorry man but that means you have cancer.

>>126977531
I’m not familiar with the song “around the 12th fret” or if it is easier to play than the song “the first frets”

>>126977531
i don't my fingers get cramped. i prefer playing on a 1.75" nut

>>126977531
depends on your neck width and the scale length, but yeah it can be easier.

https://voca.ro/18TSi5uHzwxd

>>126977531
The middle of the neck is the easiest spot to bend, yeah

>guitar man discovers leverage, scale length and logarithmic spacing
Good for you guitar man, most people comprehend this as children with a see saw but not everyone has the same upbringing eh?

>>126977598
We don’t have seesaw in the favela

One does not simply record two things, anon. I also though that is the DAWs job to sync recording two things, but no. You can only record one thing. That one thing can be an interface with lots of channels, but it can't be two things.

Wouldn't Vol/Vol/Tone be better than Vol/Tone/Tone? You see it on basses alot but not guitars.

>>126978146
I want just a tone knob with volume always wide open

>>126978146
there is nothing stopping you from doing it yourself

Ever rub your dick on your guitar?

>>126978146
My eclipse has vol vol tone, me myself I could do with a single vol knob, I prefer to adjust the brightness in post with EQ anyway

I replaced all the knobs with switches because lowering the volume on your guitar kills the tone, lowering the tone on your guitar just bleeds off all the treble. Keep everything at 10, EQ your amp not your guitar.

no but sometimes when i walk past it, i rub her jack a little..

Grumpy ol' man here,
The kind of guitar matters about as much as what kind of space shuttle a guy gets.

Or what kind of telescope Stevie Wonder buys.

I am not mean just honest. Very, very, very few people can play.

They are mostly so horrible and tone deaf they don't even realize how badly they play.

They play with others who can't play, in front of their friends who are too kind to be honest.

>>126978398
Yeah I need less, who the fuck even use all of these switches and knobs when at the end of the day all they do is making the sound brighter or duller

I don't even play guitar

Because you're likely aware of Yamaha's excellent quality across all price points, and you like this rather unorthodox finish.

If I tried out for the worst professional basketball team in the world, I would not get accepted. The coaches would give me an honest assessment of my skills.

If a guitar owner tried out for a professional band or perhaps a position at a studio as a session player he'd get an honest assessment of his skills but guitar players are nuts who refuse to honestly assess their skills or lack of skills.

Instead they live in their imagination and place themselves with others who can't play.

Its like a quadriplegic hanging out with other quadriplegics and reviewing running shoes.

Is learning piano eas(ier)y if I know guitar?

>>126978592
what did the brazilian mean by this

>>126978648
do you actually know guitar or can you just play a few songs and do a halfass solo

>>126978661
playing a few songs is knowing guitar tho ya dingus.

>>126978648
If you know how to play chords on a guitar then you already know how to play chords on a piano since it's the same principle (root + third from root + fifth from root) and on Piano it's even simpler since the only chord shape for a major triad is literally just a white key, skip, white key, skip, white key, or for a minor triad you just flatter the third from the root which might involve black keys but it's so simple a dog could do it

>>126978687
if all you know is fingerings and shapes on the guitar then you have nothing to transfer to piano

Piano is for numbskulls

Might I suggest that most hobby guitarists would really benefit investing in some private workshops with an actual professional player who could HONESTLY evaluate their skills and knowledge and actually teach them.

I am not talking some amateur teacher at Guitar Center. I mean a real session guy who does private workshops.

Folks would be amazed at what they could learn in a few REAL workshops given by a pro.

I am amazed when guys dont even know how to tell what key a song is in by ear or what the added note in an A13 would be etc. etc...

>>126978697
>major chords are all white keys
oh boy

>>126978723
just never play out of C its fine

>>126978661
Not really, I'm just wondering for the future.
What do you consider knowing guitar though?

Funny thing is that a chord is a chord, if you know the names of the notes and where they are at on your instrument, it doesn't matter what you're playing. Starting with guitar first will help a little bit for finger dexterity and synchronizing your hands but the best way to learn piano is play piano. Piano is a percussion instrument even though it has strings remember that.

Btw, I am not selling workshops.
I am retired from the music biz.

I do teach for free at my local parks where anyone is invited.

I love to hear folks say, " why didn't someone show me this 20 years ago"
or " man! This is so simple, you explain this in a way I understand".

Most teachers are in no way qualified to teach.

They teach because they couldn't do a tour or session with ANYONE.

find an actual professional player who has paid his bills by playing and has good communication skills.

Not all professional players are good teachers. Some lack communication skills or the ability to organize concepts.

It is heartbreaking to see folks pi$$ off money on gear and then get a pat on the back by another guitar owner who can't play. It is a vicious cycle of utter failure.

This has grown on me.

!This all comes from moving back to my hometown and trying to tolerate local hobby musicians who can't play.

And mind you, I am not a Stochelo Rosenberg or Lee Ritenour, just a mediocre, working, touring/session guy, not some triple scale studio ace. But I have made a livin' for 50+ years with a guitar.

. It is such a different world than working with professional touring artists.

The whole mentality is different.

The last thing a pro wants is to have band member's wives, family and day job co-workers at a job. ( Gig) yuck!

I am not used to having to rehearse.

I am use to guys who can just be flown in and can play the job with almost no rehearsal.

And it is odd to have to explain what the slope and Q knobs on a equalizer are for. Or how to position a backline.

If I wave 2 fingers to prompt these guys to a two minor, they are clueless.

It is just a whole different world.

And they buy ridiculous stuff they literally cant operate/play.

I have never drank while gigging. Bourbon has now become my favorite band-mate.

I never went to music school or did music in grade school.

i lerned gitar by playin a string rapped round a pole kids made funname fer it courst i killed em with that string mmhmm

>>126978922
wow, the great depression must've been a terrible time for music lovers

How do I know if in a song, the picking of notes is done over a chord or just with your fingers moving freely?

I need a delay function with two footswitches that allow both an analog slapback and a digital delay to be utilized. I don't want separate delay pedals for power brick reasons. Anyone have a rec?

>>126978974
back in my day i made a delay with a piece of string, a resistor and a 9v battery. You kids have it too easy

Same anon here.
So, what I gather is melody would be playing the individual notes you'd play in a song while harmony would be it's relationship to a chord?
My question is: can melody exist without harmony? I.E. playing notes without a corresponding chord? How common is this in songs?

A lot of the time I don't even learn songs, and instead come up with stupid little challenges for myself to do like seeing how fast I can change between strings with power chords, or switching from power chords to non-power chords, and I do those challenges repetitively for a while. Is this a bad idea?

This is the way I practice too. I've never been interested in learning covers unless I just liked the riff and wanted to figure it out for fun. I used to soundcheck with "Beat It" for example.

Nah, I got almost $400 off my player 1. It had sat in a little store for years and didn’t have a smudge, ding or speck of dust on it. A lot of small rural stores have little to no traffic outside of lessons and the rare walk in, and get desperate to offload anything that’s been there for more than a year.

>>126977691
The vast majority of Gibson owners do just that, they own guitars, they don’t and can’t really play them. They’re ornamental, like an executive putting 3 miles to work each day in his Ferrari.

>>126978579
This but unironically. I’m seriously tempted by the Player Marauder but being Chinese is a major turnoff and the ones that show up on reverb are usually pretty dinged up. If I do get one I’d replace the neck pickup with a proper P90. I had a ZZ Ryder back in the day with 3 quadbuckers that could be split. Admittedly that was a bit way too much, but the triplebucker is a nice, unique feature.
