I've only been shittering around playing rawksmith and memorizing scale modes for a few months but I'm starting to be able to improvise suhweet riffs.
Still working on memorizing the notes on the fretboard though.

What's the story behind this pic?

Another question, how much does wood type affect tone in an acoustic guitar?

>>127080230
It’s what happens when friends let friends buy Magpul

>>127080245
Not as important as the glue type.

>be playin guitar for the last two hours
>comin up with riffs, writin stuff, etc
>havin fun
>wanna record so I don’t forget it
>figure I’ll record some ‘roos for the (you)s
>suddenly I’m ass again as soon as the mic comes out
Many such cases (for me)

>>127080245
You will honestly need to wander into a shop and play a bunch. Generally solid tops will sound better than laminates, after that, spruce is a favorite but I've played 600$ seagulls with cherry wood that held up against normal-line taylors.

>>127080292
Thanks

>>127080276
see thats not an issue for me because im ass when recording and when im not recording. I just have fun with it though

>>127080245
80% the bracing pattern, 18% the top and maybe 2% everything else. an acoustic guitar is an engineers wet dream because the less bracing and the thinner the top is, the more mids and highs the guitar can have, but also the higher risk that it will collapse under string tension. the size of the guitar, sound hole location also plays into this but the 4-5 sizes are all pretty standard at this point. obviously string construction makes a difference too but you'll probably be playing phosphor bronze strings on a regular acoustic. older guitars are more resonant i guess because moisture has continued to leave the guitar and any sugars or structures in the wood itself have set up and makes the wood almost kind of crispy feeling. plastic and lam top guitars sound really compressed or muddy; i really don't like them

How often do you change your strings? How soon after you buy a guitar do you replace the strings it came with?

>>127080345
nothing personell kid.a

>>127080373
acoustics sound best with new strings. electric when they sound like shit or break. bass never

>>127080384
you wouldnt

>>127080373
Electric probably once a year, acoustic once every 2 months or if I was about to record/perform.

>>127080373
I break string like every 2 months so about 2 months. I think it could be my sweat eating the strings though. Acoustic strings usually last until I change them because they sound grimy, maybe half a year if I'm playing it a lot.

lol I bought these Titanium strings for........$40
But they still sound nice after like 6 months, just as advertised. It's for a beater guitar, funnily. But I wanted strings that took a beating.
Otherwise, I use Phosphor Bronze.

>>127080438
Better than those plastic covered garbage shits, elixirs i think they call em, if you do pick raking for surf guitar or even just strum hard the plastic comes undone and starts shedding its disgusting

>>127080438
how do these hold up compared to daddario NYXL or ernie ball paradigms? I was surprised at the nyxls because they didn't feel shitty like exp strings and kept the "new pack of strings" brightness for an extra month or so.

For me its gotta be pure nickels. Yes even on acoustic.

>>127080464
fyi NYXL is licensing the coating that elixir make

>>127080438
My bicycle is made of titanium

I miss Blue Steels

>>127080456
tone is in the plastic

you're telling me that you can buy a $5000 gibson or top of the line fender guitar and they STILL give you plastic garbage scratch plates and knobs? who buys this shit

>>127080494
5k for a strat will get you any material you want. Thats custom shop range.

>>127080478
>>127080464
Never tried NYXL, but Paradigms were cool. I was using them on a guitar I don't have anymore though. I think they use some sort of treatment process like Elixirs, but it's at a very tiny level to not be noticeable. Rather than a pricier metal like the Martins. Martins standard strings are also treated in a similar way, but they're like $10. These Titanium string prices are ridiculous, but I just had to try them. If it lasts for a year, it might actually be worth it.

Hi Scytoxil :)

>>127080592
That's not what I'm saying.
Sell off at the end of this bullrun (most likely end of this year) and buy back in when it's low.

I just now started learning guitar after buying a $80 Epiphone SG. Any tips or advice

/gg/ of all places is the last place i'd take financial advice. lmao.

>>127080646

>>127080596
I don’t know what that is

>>127080646

>>127080646
Just try your best
Try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves
When you're away

>>127080648
Okay dude the crypto market works in cycles, we're in a bull market now and the bear market is next.
But by all means keep holding your bags after the bull market when you could've sold them and bought back in for afraction of the price.

>>127080697
I sell when I need the money, I want investments not another job. Turns out when you invest correctly this strategy is the best. Crypto should never be more than 15% of your portfolio. You are preaching to the choir.

https://voca.ro/1ltd4V678ltP

I’m thinking of heading down this weekend to a guitar shop a few hours away in the city with a few of my guitars to trade toward something nice. Yes I know trade value isn’t great but I don’t want to deal will selling locally because I live in a small town of like 5000 people and don’t want to deal with shipping.

>>127081192
it was a flat mix, i just recorded two tracks and rendered it out
zero effort, mostly just wanted it recorded so i dont forget it before i do something with it.
i like your accompaniment

>>127081132
Start your day with cabbage, some people say beans, but I find cabbage produces better tones and moves more air. Orange juice and Kombucha for drinks. Lunch have some kilbasa sausage and sauerkraut and then for dinner have beer with broccoli beef. Good luck

I'm learning bass. A bassist I know told me to put one finger per fret, so 4 fingers spread over 4 frets. But that's super duper uncomfortable. Fuck that, I'd rather spread them over 3 frets and move my hand around a lot.

>someone else told me to do something
Never works. We're all different, all different morphologies and playing styles. Some musicians have big bulky hands, some have long spooky fingers, some people are manlets others are giants... And in terms of style some players like to make big leaps on the fretboard, others like intricate compositions...
Don't listen to posture advices. There are a few no-no's but otherwise as long as you're able to play what sounds good in your head you should go ahead and do whatever.

>>127082011

How often do you change strings?
I think I haven't done that in like a year, so I just bought new ones, even though the old ones look and sound good

>>127081132
Memory and endurance. I wish I started to learn and play through whole songs earlier.
Knowing and practicing scales and arpeggios also helps in writing.

>>127082687
im on like month 3 with these, with daily playing

>>127080113
Not always, what are you talking about?

holy shit i cant decide if i like the ultex sharp 1.14 or the jazz III xl best

>>127082687
Once every three months for a guitar. Once every year for a bass.
It changes everything. Grime and oxydation really make playing worse and the tone shittier.

hopefully this makes you feel better, from the last thread
https://voca.ro/17mZ2cKCiUuo


Wood glue is stronger than wood, my guy.


Only when looking at it very simply.
What about the flexibility compared to the wood?
Not to mention if the glue is not applied properly
the bond will not be mechanically sound.

I want to attempt making a mold
of a firebird from styrofoam
and filling it with wood glue.
Once hardened I will sand and polish the form.
I will then chisel a design of flowers and vines
into the surface of the guitar,
and hand paint them with acrylic markers of
light blue,
dark green,
and red.

After that, I will coat the entire
surface with epoxy multiple times,
letting it dry before applying
another layer.
on each dry surface I will make
additional sparse details
to the surface with
white paint.

The final dried layer of epoxy
I will polished as much as possible.
And with a small carving kit I will chisel
a fake wood grain on the body.
I will lightly sand the whole surface with medium
grit and than do the final polishing.
Getting the whole outermost surfaces as
smooth as possible.

A delicate scuff sand is applied.
A nitrocellulose finish is sprayed
in multiple layers.

After drilling and installing
hardware and electronics,
I put in the frets last. I scallop the fretboard
and polish the fretboard until smooth as glass.

who the hell shit my pants?

>>127083251
you too?

quick guys head over to youtube peak just dropped

its important to wait a few days after a big guitar solo, the tone needs time to regenerate

This song contains an interpolation of "My Guy" from 4Chan.

Yamaha, any of the Godin sub-brands (art and lutherie, simon and patrick, seagull), Takamine, Norman, Breedlove. I'd say Martin but the only good one sub $2k is the DJR.

Is it fine that the string is just sitting in the hole like that? The lower strings are thick enough that the part of the string that goes around pushes the part of the string that goes through upwards and keeps it in place (at least visually).
I can't even tell what is holding the string down. Is it just the friction of the part of the string that's wound up?

>>127083799
It's not the loop pressure or friction or anything like that the metal wire is bent into a hook that hooks into the post and it's really hard to bend it out of shape

Anytime I've tried Elixirs, they've broken in the first week of use and then I go right back to my tried and true Ernie Ball Super Slinkies.

What would you say are essential guitar albums to learn? Start to finish, solos and all. I can play a bunch Maiden, some Metallica and Megadeth in full (although Deth without the solos.) I listened to Van Halen's first two and I think those would be great. Also plan on learning through Appetite for Destruction once I get my LP setup. Beyond that, not sure what to go for. A lot of the stuff I like is either too easy or too hard for me at this time.

Anyone know what guitar this is?

>>127084025
Peavey t15 apparently.
Damn google is good.

>>127083995
>strings break in a week
>blame the strings

>>127084023
Just learn your favourites otherwise what's the point? Just to show off I guess

Also your favourite songs won't always be the most satisfying to play. Weird how that works

>>127084049
Well there's only one variable at play here, so...

>>127084074
agreed, you should ignore any potential issues with your guitar

>>127083906
By "hook" do you mean the spiral that's made by the string going around the post?

i need this magazine and the cd that came with it.

>>127084082
Yeah, especially because I put on a different set of strings and they worked fine for months on end. Whereas every time I tried the Elixirs (2 or 3 times now) I experienced string breakage within the first week or so.

Gibson made fender mustang copies. the bodies are particle board

>>127084130

Should still be fine, if you want it to be extra secure use the wrap around method

My toggle is wobbly, but not in the actual 5 positions but sideways. Its also NOT the actual screws that mount the toggle, but the toggle istelf. Is there anyway i can tighten this shit?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBoLWmpy52Y

>>127084064
Not really to show off but to get better at guitar. As I said, most of the stuff I like is either very easy or too hard. And I like finding new music always so it works out anyway.

And that's very true really. My favourites definitely lean towards how fun they are to play.

>>127084343
They're roundwounds, so yeah, I'm sold. Been using Fender roundwounds lately. You gotta be careful with some though. I tried them years ago, but the coil would unwind off the wire easily. lol. Like you don't want to pull hard when you're stringing up or it'll do that. Maybe GHS doesn't do that.

how do you guys play faster without fucking up so hard

>>127081205
Just save your money up unless space is an issue. I regret nearly every guitar I’ve sold or traded.

>>127084434
I try the advice of the experts and when it doesn't work for me I do it my own way. I use mostly a combination of economy picking and legato. Still trying to get my chops together, though. Constant struggle.

>>127084434
I bought a les paul custom and suddenly I played way faster

>>127081211
Have you tried incorporating hard boiled eggs into your regimen? They can really round out your tone. I also highly recommend Scotch eggs if you can afford them.
If you're looking something adventurous and off beat, corn nuts are just what the doctor ordered. They're cheap too, perfect for the struggling artist

if it sounds good to you; the labels and price tags don't matter

>>127084434
I slow down until I can do it without fucking up then slowly speed things up from there. Sometimes I break it down into two or three steps and try to do those steps quickly without screwing up then string the parts together

>>127082008
I’m having good success with bass just by learning and playing along to songs. I started off simple and have made my way up to more advanced slap/pop stuff like Around The World by RHCP. I’ll stick with a song like that until I have it down passably. It definitely helps to have a lot of 6 string experience to drawn on.

I don't, the ones I've let go required levels of effort that I couldn't be assed to have

>>127084600
They definitely do not sound like a dread. They're meant to sound good plugged in, but a real dreadnought can be pretty damn loud..and you feel it.

Guitars of the past were always inspired by vehicle designs. The curves and fins of old 50s cars, the auto paint colors from Dupont, etc.

So that begs the question, what is the Cybertruck of guitars?

>>127084434
Speed comes once youre familiar with the lines you trying to play. And most high octane shredders will tell you, they never religiously trained for speed, they just played and played and played and speed is the by product of that

>>127084301
Yeah, they seem like an excellent pedal platform. I primarily use a dialed back BBE TS as my clean sound so I’m hoping I can use that to get a good tone and quell the need to have it cranked too loud. I guess I could look into an attenuator or load unit if I really love the broken up sound of the amp at higher volume. Another thing I’m going to try is running channels one and two simultaneously with a Y cable or pedal with stereo out, I’ve heard that cuts the volume as well.

>>127084960
>raw eggs
hopefully just for adding texture, as you lose out on a lot of protein absorption if you don't cook them

I still don't understand who the cybertruck is for. If you're going to pay $100k for a truck, you could get a beast to do some serious hauling with.

it's a stupid toy for the rich to have fun with
just like a jet ski, downhill skis or anything else.
zero practical value, just a weird toy that lets them show they have disposable income to waste on stupid things.

Any AC15 users here? the amp recently landed on my radar because it has built in reverb and tremolo, which is all i need for a bare bones non/semi gigging experience.

>>127084978

Is that child pornography connoisseur Steven J Albenis? I can’t stand the guy, but he did have some good info on basic recording technique. As for the autism strap, make one.

>>127084991
Vox make great amps with a great sound, with practicality and tone in mind. They're a great company, I'm not a fan at all but real recognises real, I love them and respect them.
You will just never make metal with it. If you want to make metal with a Vox you need special gear and tweaking, but you can get a surprisingly decent even killer tone with a Vox (and some pedals).
But yeah for rock, twangy grimy dirty and everything, a Vox is never a bad choice. Even with just15W, you crank it up and if you need further amplification you just put a mic in front of it.
>>127085026
Well in the end that's your opinion. I find all the Abasi guitars to look pretty cool considering they would be played by djenty progmetal nerds who honor the aesthetic.
And yeah the Kaizen guitars look excellent too.

This was basically Gib's Cybertruck

>>127084880
It's gotta be the Firebird X.
Like a cyber truck it does it's job it play like a guitar like the cybertruck lumbers down the street.
Also like the cybertruck it's inteded purpose wasn't to just lumber down the road it was meant to be a truck which the Cybertruck fails as.
This abomination was meant to be more than just a guitar and it turned out over priced junk that was unable to be upgraded.

>>127085429
>>127085445
such a waste

Sounds like everytime a company tries adding more electronic to the guitar it always fails, the inventions that stuck are more or less all upgrades to the traditional parts that are already there

>>127085545
>Crushing authentic

>>127085365
I could see owning a vintage Strat since I already have very nice modern Strats, so it would be worth dealing with the flaws of an old, dying vintage Strat. I couldn’t say the same for most other models though, just not worth the price when modern versions are more than suitable.

>>127084279

Nice, I’m pretty excited. I got the matching cab but I have a hair crossed to build my own cabinet at some point so if I don’t end up digging the EHX cab I’ll probably build one and aim for a 60s British sound.

to be honest, the cab doesn't really matter.

These are just advertisements for his brand of dentist-serving guitars for the ignorant.

fashion for sure. they dont really branch out of their core products to be a lifestyle brand

How many guitars did you cum on today?

>>127086223
only one, the guy in gc kicked me out

>>127086219
Seems like the only music brand that has succeeded at "lifestyle" is Marshall. Fender tried to sell speakers and shit too, but they don't seem nearly as popular.

>>127086278
>Fender tried to sell speakers and shit too, but they don't seem nearly as popular.
Homie Leo Fender invented the guitar amp long before he designed an electric guitar. Fender is literally the godfather of all amps, even Marshall started as modded blackfaces.
They do very very very well. Marshall just has a lifestyle headspace though, you're right. The current model of "rockstar" screams Marshall even if most pros use a clean Fender as their canvas these days.

>>127086223
that's why I never buy used...

>>127086309
I love Fender. I'm just talking about their bluetooth shit.
I didn't even think Marshall was doing well until I looked into it. They're actually popular among non guitar players.

>>127085772
I’m think more so if I don’t like the speakers but if that’s the case I could just swap them. Based on what I’ve heard I think I’ll like it just fine as is.

>>127086315
sometimes, i buy a guitar, cum in the electronics hatch(the slut loved it) then sell it used for 100 dollars less than new price
ive been jerking off every day for a week now thinking about some guy picking up my used gods
and he doesnt know

i had her flower

>>127086333
Weirdly, several amp makers are trying to get into the consumer bluetooth space right now. Orange even has some offerings, like wtf what rando non-guitar player knows about Orange?
Now that I think about it though a Voice of The World blutooth speaker would be fucking rad.

My mate had a 1980s kramer that had a MDF body, he put in expensive pickups and upgraded all the hardware, had a luthier do the fretwork and set it up. was one of the nicest playing and sounding guitars i've ever tried. weighed a tonne though. from then on "tonewood" didn't matter to me.
wood only matters for aesthetics on see through finishes.

>>127086375
one of them tried to, marshall i think? then all the others copied them and assumed there would be huge gains doing it

>>127084928
>14 people are watching this

>>127086371
>well, he's having her forever and can play her better than you do!!!

>>127086375
Funny that Celestion stays in the speaker space all this time. They have a cool name that could work for all kinds of audio, but they just stay comfortably in their speaker market.

Has UG finally blocked free GP tab downloads? I can't seem to find the download button and I'm logged in.

Reminder: if you can't hear something, that means it doesn't exist and anyone who tells you they can hear it is lying to you for profit.

>>127086694
It may as well be true. If they actually have canine ears and do hear something, what's that to me? It doesn't help me personally. They can still go fuck themselves.

Claims about TONEwood aside, what about SUSTAINwood? Marshall Harrison claims that a chambered alder body gives a guitar more sustain.

>>127087286

>>127087600
Brand loyalty made perfect sense at the times. Most guitars from the 50s-80s were utter shite so you trusted the guys who proved they could repeatedly and consistently deliver.

>>127087600
Less shitty than now because a lot of them had good songwriting. Playing doesn't matter if your songs suck.
Boomers are shitty about a lot of things, but music is the least of their problems.

Sustainwood. Sounds like something boomers would buy instead of guitars if only it existed

I bought a new acoustic and the strings feel too "low" should I adjust them? should they be the same height as a classical guitar?
I ask because it's the only kind I've played, nylon classical

i'm willing to help you. please describe your situation in more detail

>>127086095
I doubt lawyers, dentists, doctors and bankers care about tonewood.

They buy PRS and Gibson CS because they became luxury items. They buy the Gibson they saw when they were a kid but couldn't play/buy it at the time.

Same thing on the piano thread buying (((Steinway))) and (((Fazioli)))

>>127088036
well I bought a new acoustic (steel string) I've only played nylon with no truss rod so you cannot change its action.

I wonder if steel strings have to be higher than nylon? because they're almost at the same height (like 0.03mm of difference) but steel string need lower force to press down than nylon I've noticed. I'm kinda used to nylon so I apply the same force so idk if I should increase its action, does it affect the tone too much or what?

better check yourself before you shrek yourself

>>127086187
That's the part that bothers me. Like when I see a guitar I otherwise like, but they have to mention the "warmness of a maple cap" or some BS. It's already a great guitar bruv you dont have to lie.

>>127088000
ngl I really don’t like the Doors but Robby Krieger’s guitar playing is really nice and a lot different sounding than the guitarists of the same era who get talked about a lot more than him.

>>127088152
nylon strings physically have lower tension than steels so that shouldn't scientifically be the case. as long as there is no buzzing anywhere on the guitar (check strumming too) you are fine

>>127088268
