Damn I just ordered a 12 pack of Tortex .73mm, maybe I can just glue 6 of them together.

>>127070845
Just got a pack of these for bluegrass. Took some getting used to coming from jazz iii's but man they're a nice pick. Silky smooth over the strings and nice and fast for flat picking.

I dunno which strings too get. I was thinking of getting the 11-48 for my LP in e flat but now I'm thinking I should go thicker. 52 already feels too loose on my 25.5 Jackson in e standard. I don't wanna go thicker than that honestly, would just prefer more tension.

whats /gg/s opinion on weight relief for guitars?

>>127072008
Gay, retarded, and extremely limp-wristed. Grow up.

>>127072016
my thoughst exactly. also most guitars are expensive as is, imagine paying for a les paul style guitar (or even a gibson) where half the wood is missing

>>127072037
The modems have their bodies drilled to save weight

If you can't play a guitar for an extended period of time because it's "too heavy", as a man, you need to kill yourself. Do us all a favor and remove yourself from the gene-pool.

>>127072008
I wouldn't buy one that's too heavy in the first place.
>>127072016
Back problems are a part of growing up if you aren't the "drug overdose in your 30s" type.

>>127071569

>>127072008
Sure ahy not, most Jazzmasters have weight relief. Jags dont for some reason.

>>127071999
Wasted trips baka

>>127072006
Dead serious. I remember they were really tight when I first started using them but now they feel weirdly loose. I dunno.

I definitely wanna go 11s on it cause 10s on LP feel too loose but I'm really debating between 48 and 52. Or 50 even. I don't really plan on playing thrash on it, mostly classic and hard rock stuff, but I do like the thicker strings. At the same time I feel like too thick might be a detriment for versatility.

>>127072343
>but now they feel weirdly loose
I'm thinking about changing from 12s to 13s on my Jaguar as i prefer a higher tension too.

>>127072361
Was actually briefly considering 12s too but I think that'll be too thick for the high strings. 11 would be perfect for me. It's just the lower strings I like more tension on. Might work great for a jag though with its short scale.

>>127072245
you are supposed to connect your guitar to an amp, anon

>>127072396
Maybe you should get some of those heavy bottom string sets.
I always had issues with shoter scale guitars. 10s on 24.75 LP never felt right and it's even worse with the 24 Jag scale. Even 11s are sloppy as hell. Also wound g strings sound just better.
I also have 14s on a 25.5 Jackson but it's tuned down to B. Sadly you can't really get something even thicker. I don't know how people tune that low and use 12s or 13s on Gibsons.

if you like tight strings, just turn the tuningmachines more

thinner strings always sound better. i play 007s. theyre difficult to play. i can bend a held step with finger pressure alone. very thin strings, thin pick, and a very light touch with boost into cranked tubr amps is "the" power chord sound.

>>127072547

Kiesel, Schecter, ESP/LTD

>>127072501
It'll be 48-52 on the bottom and 11 on top. Don't need anything thicker for treble, this would be perfect for lead stuff. Just need to decide how thick I wanna go for bass. We'll see. Also can't see myself going for the wound g on electric, feels too weird.

I just hope the tech I bring it to does a good job with it. So far my LP has been through two of them and both did jack shit.

chat im the faggot from yesterday who struggeled w strumming. so i think i got that down now. how do i sing while playing the guitar?

>>127072854
Easy with strumming. Tell me if you ever figure out singing whilst playing a lot of single notes. I can't do that myself. Like a patting your head and rubbing your stomach kind of thing.

>>127072854
You disassociate your hands and your fingers and do all that subconsciously while your brain thinks about singing

duduudx-ud

Mustang sisters. I got the P90 intonated with autismal precision… now I need to do it on the “Burgundy” comp but really don’t feel like it right now. Maybe I’ll invest in some Allen key style L shaped Philips wrenches so I don’t have to work as hard to do it. It’s probably not apt to compare this P90 Mustang to my Noventa JM, that has 3 P90s and the bridge P90 is much, much closer to the actual bridge. I’ll have to check out the route on these but maybe I’ll look into scooting it further back on the P90 Stang and see if the brightens it up. This thing sounds phenomenal with light OD all the way through to combining heavy fuzz and distortion, but the clean sound is just a little too warm.

the Mesa Boogie Heartbreaker is a 25th anniversary edition reissue of the Boogie Mk1 (hot rodded tweed), with a fender tweed as channel 2. (it's two 1 channel amps in a head). it has a solid state rectifier, and tube rectifier you can switch between, as well as a mesa transformer and a 93 volt variac tweed transformer you can switch to.

i've got a VM mustang just to try out the short scale thing and was wondering how you get around the trem springs sounding like an acoustic spring reverb?

You're supposed to tuck the end of the string down into the tuning peg

>>127073439
I've never seen a $2000 Fender that needs any serious fret work at least. Fake and gay.
A few MIMs though, but the Player Pluses and Modifieds are better because they have rolled edges.. it kind of forces the factory guys to do a good fret job too. Same with the MIAs.

>>127073465

Have you tried not being a salty poorfag and buying a vintage Strat instead? Fuck's sake. I know someone who bought a 90s les Paul standard from kate bush's tour guitarist for about $3k. Plenty of solid buys out there if you're prepared to wait, instead of wasting it on junk with no resale value.

I run Power Slinky’s (11-48) on my Jags, Mustangs and JM. The Heavy Bottom set is just a bit too heavy for my liking. 11-48 has been the Goldilocks set as far as stability meeting tone and playability. They sound especially phenomenal on the Mustangs.

>>127072653

>>127074156
Solid top looks way better imo. Les Pauls all give big boomer energy but especially the flame tops.

>>127073227
I honestly would just keep it hard tailed, the trems on Mustangs are lame compared to a Jag or JM. I don’t have stability issues so mine aren’t hard tailed but I rarely use them. As for pickup suggestions, I would do hotrail(s) or maybe JB Jr in the bridge and HR in the neck if you like the way the JB sounds.

How do I get started in this fucking thing?
I try learning songs that I enjoy but they are all complicated, and the ones that are simple I don't have the will to learn.
Should I just skip to scales and shredding?

>>127074175
>t has a fender and can't afford a gibson

>>127074213
you shut the fuck up and keep practicing

>>127074213
>I don't have the will
found the problem

>>127073861
Because they’re fucking good. I think the barrier to entry is that fags kinda gave it a reputation and it can be finicky to set up. But man, once you get them set up how you like them, they are up there as one of Fenders most viable guitars. No joke, I’d probably rank them Strat, Mustang, Jag, JM. I only owned one Tele and it was almost 20 years ago so I’m going to omit that, but it would probably sit in front of the Jag if I had a good one.

>>127072008
Kiesel has an option to chamber their guitars but I cant find any pics on the internet on what the chambering looks like.

>>127072008
If youre going to do weight relief, then that works best on large chambering rather than drilling a lot of tiny holes so you get a semihollow effect of the cap on the body resonating

you'd be stupid to not weight relieve a guitar

The older I get, the less I appreciate the "playing sloppy is soulful" mindset.

>>127074894
There's nothing sloppy in that song. Hard raking attacks and double-stop legato isn't slop its intentional slur.
Hendrix used to go around stage before every show and mark the spots on the stage where he got specific notes of feedback so he could use it musically during his performance.
Believe me there's not a single noise his guitar makes that's unintentional.

What is the cheeseburger of the guitar world?

>>127074894

>>127075197

>>127075197
let me guess, you're just noodling and practicing scales?

>>127070082
I make the power chord shape when I give your mom the shocker

>>127075273
Scales and arpeggios and patterns within them.

>>127075294
Do you understand the scales or are you just memorizing them? Building the muscle memory is nice but its of limited importance next to actually understanding the scale so that you can use it in a musical context.
Too many people are just playing the same 7 notes over and over again with zero understanding, and wondering why it gets them nowhere.

>>127075273
You're quick to dump on people but slow to offer advice. Worthless

>>127075294

so do you have to adjust the truss rod to both handle the higher tension of the strings and get lower action that tighter strings allow?

>>127075366
Yeah I mean I understand intervals and their relationship to the underlying chord and all that shit but putting it together in a professional sounding musical way that flows in an unrehearsed improv solo is another story.

which one would you go with?

>>127075500
noodling and experimenting with scales unlocks options. you'll find patterns that sound good to you.
you can play the same note twice in a row or even three times. you can slide, hammer on or pull off from a note that's outside of the scale pattern into one that's within it to mix things up. just keep experimenting and finding and doing things that sound good to you. by doing this you will develop your own aesthetic sensibilities and over time become capable of improvisation

sorry bro i tried to make up an example and get a recording on my phone that wasn't completely shit. i gave myself a chord progression in a key i'm not familiar with and started by choosing target notes that outlined a melody that sounded good in half notes. then i tried to piece in the dots with rhythm. the first recording is about 10 mins and the second one is listening to my playback and spending another 5 minutes making some adjustments. once i find a sequence i like i'll work on putting it in time. noodling and practicing scales is fine until you're familiar with them by ear but you need to refine your vocabulary by composing. this is kind of shit but it's an example

Just ordered one of these. I’ve been going round and round on a tune amp, this, Marshall’s, Fenders. I came to the conclusion that I don’t need anything with more than this has and as much as I’d like a JVM410H or even the DSL100HR, I’d rarely if ever get to put it through its paces. Besides, this will make for a better pedal rig. The only gripe I see on these is that some of the switches seem a bit cheap but as far as the innards go they seem to be pretty solid. Anyone have experience with the Sovtek that this is based on?

>>127076121
I would suggest checking on reverb for a Benson amp in your area that you can go try in person. You can filter search results via distance from your area code. All that said, I’ve played fender black and silver face amps for 15 years. I think in reality the blackface amps (deluxe reverb specifically) will always be the most versatile and universal amps ever, but my experience with my Benson Bellringer has been nothing but pure joy. For one, they have a very prominent mid range, so you will never have any issues cutting through in a full band mix. For two, they are fucking loud for the size of their package. They are also built to a very high objective quality with a super minimal, straightforward design. Whenever you swap out tubes, you don’t have to bring it in to a tech to rebias the voltage. They’re lightweight, loud, beautiful sounding amps that are so practical in terms of their mid range content. Between the regular preamp pedal and the germanium preamp, I am highly partial to the regular preamp. I tried the germanium preamp in a local shop and was underwhelmed by how soft clipping and smooth the gain structure was. The regular preamp has more of a gritty, mean gain structure when pushed, but it adds a very authentic amp like sparkle if you just use it for that low gain edge of break up tone. Personally I like to keep my preamp on low gain at the end of my drive chain so that I can boost it with all my other gain pedals. Helps it to sound more like I’m pushing an already broken up tube amp.

Here’s me just aimlessly noodling on my setup

either way, chords would be G, Cm, F, Bb, D7, Eb, then it plays around with D-Eb-F-Eb-D, and I believe the higher notes belong to D7

can you figure out the 3 bass notes that lead to the first part too? they sound cool

All the ones “local” on reverb are like $4k+ heads and cabs, I just want something Deluxe like with a 1x12. A Princeton has been my go to amp for the last like 15 years but I want to get something a tiny bit bigger and the Benson stuff has always just came off as really great sounding and well designed

>Watch guitar demo to see how it sounds
>Faggot adds effects and pedals so you can't hear what it actually sounds like
Why?

>>127076785
i want to see more bass tones from darkglass products but literally all of them are heavily overdriven, saturated metal clanging. i feel you

https://youtu.be/fQxxpBDkoRQ&t=1035
It's so beautiful, but dropping it would hurt my soul. Not to mention the glass everywhere.

>>127076815
stupid

>>127076757
I would still suggest going to try it out to see if you like the overall Benson tone. For the most part, all his amps have the same tonal character whether you’re talking about his smaller amps or larger ones. If you dig it, you can feel confident about ordering one of his 1x12 amps. I live outside of Portland and have been able to play most of his models at local shops. In my opinion, his Bellringer amp is his magnum opus. Small and lightweight, easy to manage package with enough wattage to cut through in a full band, but the power scaling circuit allows you to tone down the volume at bedroom levels if needed

What kind of slide does /gg/ use and on what finger and to what knuckle?

I just got around to trying pic related after putting it off since playing slide when you haven't conditioned the muscle memory sounds like total shit and I wasn't looking forward to listening to myself suck long enough to suck less.
I found I like using it on my pinky and it's snug at the part where the finger meets my palm, but loose everywhere else. I'm wondering if going smaller and/or a different material would be better. The brass feels clunky, but that's probably mostly me and my sub 5 hours of slide practice. Yes, eventually my other fingers figured out how to mute most of the clatter, but my idiot consoomer brain thinks ceramic or something would be better.
Also, why does every ceramic slide have to have some bullshit written on it. I don't need some spade's nickname or Joe Perry written on shit I buy.

I'm having trouble on the sliding part on the high E,B and G string for 'Wish you were here' at the beginning. Especially sliding back up the fretboard

A lot of people have multiple guitars. How many amps should you have? I’ve only ever had one amp at a time but I’m thinking of buying another amp.

>>127077712
you should have a single helix

>>127077712
One is usually sufficient for mere bedroom mortals
But if you have two you can run effects in stereo

I really like the Spark. but it's annoying that I could have been doing everything it does on my laptop months ago if it weren't so freaking painful to configure. I kept getting pissed off and playing through my solid state amp and pedals instead

>>127077712
If you are actually playing in bands, you should have two amps. A fender blackface or silverface amp, as well as a British voiced amp. You’d probably get the most use out of the fender for how versatile and universal of a tone it provides, but a British voiced amp would be a nice mix up for playing more rock-oriented or blues stuff

Where to blade style pickups sit between regular single coils and humbuckers? I’m thinking about putting together a partscaster and when considering pickups I keep coming back to blade type single coils just because I don’t have anything with those. I’m definitely more of a single coil guy more than a humbucker guy, especially Tele pickups.

I thought he stabbed it with a screwdriver?

>>127078517
Because they’re low output single coils. They sound thin. They take pedals very well, give them some OD or fuzz and they come to life. I think of them as a plain blank canvas, they sound bland and boring on their own but are just begging to be given a little color.

The guitar occupies a wide frequency range for flexibility in a band setting, so ONE FUCKING INSTRUMENT doesn't ask the entire REST OF THE BAND to cater to them. This is CRUCIAL for the getting the mix right.

>>127078719
The guitar is naturally Mid frequency, at normal tunings at least.
I don't understand why so much modern metal wants to turn the guitar into a bass....then shit on basses on top of that.

>All amps are capable of making the same sounds
????????????

>>127078800
Once you get into high gain territory, all high gain amps seem to sound the same too. Unless you turn down the gain, then they have a lot of character.

>>127078814
5150's, the rectifier range and soldanos are all high gain amps and have distinctive character, when cranked. if anything turning down the gain would make them start sounding similar

>>127078842
that's not the amp

>>127078842
That can't do literally everything. Especially when an overdrive is involved.

>>127078836
The 5150s were based off Soldano's though, right?
I think Mesa's Fender roots come through at low gain crunch and what not. They'd all be "California" flavored tones (as opposed to Marshall) even at low gain, but still different enough. Rectos sound especially good clean too...but no one buys them for that.

I know nothing about guitars but I have a really cheap one that's not been set up at all from what I can tell
The neck seems a little curved and while playing notes at high and low frets is fine, playing anything in the middle of the fret board requires a bit more push, like I'm pressing down on barb wire
How do I fix that? Is it the truss rod thing? How do I make sure turn things the wrong way and break it?

>>127079000
*Make sure I don't turn things the wrong way I mean

>>127078667
Stop lying nigger.

>>127079000
Sounds like a truss thing. A good set up neck isn't exactly straight, but has a very slight up bow and dip in the middle.

>>127072169
I'm actually surprised no one has tested A/B/C/D for these types of bodies including a solid body one.

>>127079037

>>127079000
tighten the truss rod after loosening the strings a few steps (clockwise as you're looking down the neck) until the strings almost touch the 7th fret when you have a capo on the first fret and you are holding the 17th fret with your finger (when the guitar is retuned to pitch

Amps? I have a early aughts MG100DFX recently fixed that was out of commission since the first Obama admin, an Orange Crush 30 and just ordered a MIG-50 and EHX speaker to finally fulfill my tube curiosity. I’ll probably need to get a load or attenuator unit for it but my neighborhood is spacious enough that I should be able to stretch it out a bit. What sold me was the simplicity of it and the ability to use both channels at the same time via stereo pedal or Y cable. It seems to be an excellent amp for a busy pedal board.

What's a cool riff you created that doesn't exist anywhere?
