GIT GUD with GUITAR:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg1L-sBIxnY

Ran into Steve Lukather recently at the guitar center on sunset. He told me real niggas play that Boogie

>>127130079
Just like cockbreaker!

>>127130096
Breaker cant afford a boogie

I can't seem to pick up speed.
I think my left-hand is lacking speed and precision; what exercices (and songs) should I try to get better?

>>127130003
I use to hate yellow, especially when I was a kid. I don't know what happened.

There ain't many color options. Just purple/black, blue/black, yellow/black, red/black and full black. I like the contrast between yellow and black.

just got a haircut, weed trimmed the yard, snacking on a leftover mcdouble. yup it's time to preheat the tubes

i never warm up my tubes, its a svt head. is this a meme or should i warm them up before playing?

>>127133326
>i never warm up my tubes, its a svt head. is this a meme or should i warm them up before playing?
dont all tube amps have a standby switch so you dont damage the tubes by sending a signal before the tubes are ready?

You know what won't kill you if you open it? An amp in a box pedal.

>>127131579
There's going to be a glut of Pelham blue guitars sitting in the used pile at Guitard Center, like the piles of silverburst guitars there now. I kind of hate how every jumps on a finish and beats it to death, until there's a Pelham blue Harley Benton.

>>127135915

>>127131579
they should've originally put that big fin on top. it would make an incredible arm rest

>>127136012
That UAFX quality.

I've sold my guitars and amps and was in bands and now I wanna get back into it. I used to write music using a program called tabit, but apparently people use guitar pro now? What is that like? If I have headphones and a macbook air am I able to use guitar pro without having to buy a practice amp? I live in an apartment when I used to live in a house.

When buying a first guitar again, how do you know which to one you should buy? Should I find others who want to start a band or project, and buy the best guitar within my budget that would fit for the genre we decide on? Or should I not rely on others and seriously do some soul searching on what kind of music I want to play or practice? I need advice for starting up music again.

>>127136383
What's wrong with them? I heard they're good....just expensive.

>>127133888
My amp doesn't have a standby. It's just that awesome (not really).

>>127136580
well i think everything is going to start with deciding what you want to play and practice first. then the guitar will come from that decision and then you can start thinking about everything else from there your music tastes might even change as you progress on your instrument

Fender makes so many sigs now because they want to promote rock and especially new artists.
Same with, say, Marshall making a fancy music studio or Gibson making a record label.
It makes sense now. Instrument companies are the last men standing with rock diminishing. Can you even think of record labels that give a shit? The instrument guys have a lot of non-rock musicians to not die off themselves, but they don't want rock to die.

>>127136828
>Can you even think of record labels that give a shit?
Sorry to be the one to tell you, but people dont buy records. We live in a streaming music economy, streaming services like Spotify pay .00001 penny per song. So yeah, keep blaming record companies dumb ass

>>127136877
It's just a general term. I mean spotify too. The whole shebang. They've mostly moved on.
The only big entities propping up rock now are instrument makers. So it makes sense to me that they're getting a little more involved in it's distribution and marketing.

>>127136750
It's tough. My tastes have matured a bit but I still like cool sounding things. I just doesn't have to sound cool for the entire song, and now I prefer more variation and unpredictability.

Like if you want to write in standard tuning you're going to be looking at certain types of guitars. If you want to write in drop d, c, b, you're going to be looking at different types than the standard ones. Then drop a and lower and you'll probably be looking at certain guitars that involve more than six strings. I just have to figure things out on how I want to get back into music. It's hard to do it alone.

>>127136828
what's funny is john mayer left fender because he couldn't get a signature model and he's one of the younger generations models along with joe bonerblaster. a little too late, leo

>>127136944
you could get a pitch shifter pedal

>>127137084
I wonder if he ever regrets it and sadly gazes at his old Strat in the closet. Wasn't he playing some Strat he'd had since he was young?

>>127137084
>john mayer left fender because he couldn't get a signature
I hope thats not true, sounds really pathetic

is this boomer seating gg approved?

>>127137386
When the fuck did Fender become a lifestyle brand? I want guitars and amps please.

>>127137386
What am I supposed to with this?

>>127137400
Marshall opened up a can of worms with that fridge.

>>127137424
at least that can was cold

>>127137424
This is really dumb but I don't hate it. Sometimes you warm the tubes, sometimes you cool em.

>>127137560
I wouldn't complain if someone bought it for me. Can always find a space for a random fridge.

>Found some Ernie Ball strings in a charity shop
>They aren't in those foil packets like usual they're in this weird folded paper
>The folded paper is in a plastic sleeve
>But the plastic sleeve has Ernie Ball embossed in it which makes it seem like someone making fakes wouldn't go to that trouble

I still can't tell if they're real. I'll use them anyway though and they were only £1 :)

guys i just had a profound spiritual awakening about how to write melodies after smoking some weec

>>127137783
Based. I just ate 3 corndogs bro.

>>127137084
Sounds BS, Fender makes signatures for everyone including the non-famous.

>>127137805
nice man. i find that also to be a great spiritual experience. blessed vibes to you for sharing

I fucking love knock off pickups.
All my guitars have them now.
All of them way better than stock.
Doesn't say much since I don't spend a lot on guitars.
On my Epiphone SG for example the stock ones were muddy and dull.
The Chinese Invaders I installed are chunky and bright.

>>127137084
Mayer called PRS and begged them to make a signature for him.
They hung up on him the first time.

>>127137929
He wasn't a true believer. He had to get on his teen and swear fealty to the toan wood gods.

>>127137948
teen? where the hell is my mind? lmao. what'd they put in these corndogs.
He had to get on his knees.*

I fucking love boutique pickups.
All my guitars have them now.
All of them way better than stock.
Doesn't say much since I don't spend a lot on guitars.
On my Epiphone SG for example the stock ones were muddy and dull.
The boutique suhrs I installed are chunky and bright.

>>127138007
Youre supposed to buy the ones with great pickups already, not swap great ones into an Epiphone

65 Pure Vintage Strat pups. Haven't heard anything better...at least easily packaged. A pretty usable bridge too.

>>127138028
>gibson/epiphone

Nah thats why theirs so many boomer boutique pickups for those brand of guitars even firebird pickups.

>>127138075
I'm that guy.

>>127138077
Zoomers will record everything through a p.c and then eq it instead of just turning up the halfstack.

>>127138007
i upgraded my bridge and saddle and the notes are genuinely more articulate. for whatever reason a cheap bridge can cause totally dead spots in places on the fret board

>>127138207
The difference is probably from you changing out your crusty ass strings after you put on the new bridge

>>127138563
the strings were a week old

>>127138701
If they were ernie's balls then they already lost their shine

How much of a difference does bolt on vs set vs neck through really make? To me bolt on seems the smartest because you can just replace the neck should you need to instead of needing to do a whole bunch of work to fix or replace a neck.

>>127138747
In terms of tone, none.
In terms of feel set necks are gonna feel noticeably different, for some it's better and some worse.

>>127138747
Some may argue a set neck has a better tone, but I can't tell if it's true. I suppose you can get better fret access from a set neck's carve a typical Fender like bolt on, but it never bothered me.

>>127138809
than a typical Fender bolt-on*
Hasn't bothered many for that matter. Shredders used bolt ons almost exclusively and took the upper frets to their limit. But I think Nuno was one of the first to start messing with the carve and make a bolt on carve more egonomic too. Now that's common even on Fenders (Ultras).

>>127137929

>>127138747
If your bolt-on breaks you could replace it, but then you'd have to find one of the exact same specs and build quality.

When will Glenn get a sig

>>127139009
That I didn't know. I always heard it was the color of the appliances themselves. Among other things. 60s had pretty odd aesthetics in general. Yellow refrigerators. Olive phones.

Reminder that TV Yellow got its name in a design meeting at Gibson, when Ted McCarty said he was nervous about the guitar company's first appearances on TV and Ray Butts, the company's head engineer and with whom McCarty had been feuding, replied "What are you, yellow?"
Yellow is American slang for being cowardly, or fearful. The name stuck, and the finish option is still being produced to this day.

>>127139289

>>127139398
I still don't think they're the same though. TV Yellow has a sort of hint of green to it in certain lights.
Blackguard Blonde (the OG Blonde before Butterscotch) sometimes has that too.

>>127139398
that's not even the right color. butterscotch blonde is fenders tv yellow

Who gives a shit what your guitar looks like you are there to play the thing not have sex with it.

This amp fucks. I’d kinda drifted from EHX stuff since I have most of the pedals of theirs I want, so glad I took a shot on this thing. Very reasonable price too, just over a grand for the amp and speaker combo. It is loud as fuck though and I’ll need to use an attenuator, that and the flip switches feeling a bit cheap are the only minor gripes I can muster for it.

Archbold police are investigating fraud involving a guitar valued at more than $4,800, a police report indicates.

Austin Crites, 28, Archbold, told officers of the fraud, which occurred between Wednesday, March 23, and Tuesday, March 29. The incident was reported Monday, April 18.

The officer indicated in the report he contacted the law enforcement agency where the suspect lives, but due to the holiday, no officer there was available

so can someone give me a straight answer as to why we're not supposed to use the neck pickup? or is it the bridge pickup? I know people get memed on for using one or the other. why am I not supposed to use something that came with my guitar?

>>127140374
Pretty sure the Strat pickup gets more duty than the bridge for many players.

>tfw you paid 5 grand for what he used to do for free
its bizarre, i imagine the report had to do with the “museum” because the statement says it took place over a week, and the police had 0 interest in perusing it

>>127140422
The action of playing the guitar wears down frets not the pushing force, most people never need to replace their nuts even if they're plastic

>>127140297
I just got the chinkshit eart gw, the zero fret was well done but it's higher than the bone nut so it's technically the nut height. No problems on the guitar otherwise

I hate expensive guitars and tube amps. Fuck that shit. I'm going to fucking own with a fuckin' Squier and some chink solid state amp. True punk shit. Fuck yeah.

>>127140272
metal on metal friction would cause wear faster than metal on bone/tusk no?

>>127140646
Bending (a lot) can take the most toll on frets apparently, but there isn't that kind of action happening at the nut.

>>127140646
Depends on the metals. Maybe the reason nuts don't wear as quickly as frets is the surface area of contact. On a fret, all the wear happens right at the apex.

In a lot of cases, the standby switch actually runs the risk of shortening tube life by slapping them with HT instantaneously rather than letting them warm up naturally. They're a vestigial feature from earlier non-MI circuit applications, and are pretty much unnecessary (especially if you have a tube rectifier), but they're tradition at this point so you have to include one or people freak out.

Yep, at first I want to barre it, but then the 0.

>>127141020
It's nice playing in a key where all open strings are contained within said key. You can do 1 string per finger chords and always be able to play the open strings if you want to. Even when soloing, knowing you can always rhythmically strum the open notes while playing a lead within that. When using hammer on pull of technique while playing the chords, you can blur the line between soloing and chords from multiple angles.

>>127140855
yeah maybe it's just yours, I decimated the frets on multiple guitars of mine but never had to replace any nut

>>127140855
>>127141090
Maybe a bad angle where the string is seated could exacerbate something like that. It shouldn't be too bad though.

>>127140374
This is nonsense. Bridge for rhythm, neck for lead. On a strat I like the out-of-phase positions for delicately picked stuff.
A lot of good players will switch between multiple positions during a solo for dynamics purposes.

I'd like a korina Jazzmaster, U-neck carve, ebony fretboard, dogbone bridge, gold anodized pickguard, natural finish.

>>127142009
Okay

>>127142020
RSD bridge, not dogbone. Sorry.

>>127142030
>really sucks dick bridge

>>127142030
why is the right side at an angle like that?

>>127142175
fixed intonation

>>127142213
idk, i would rather fix it with a mustang bridge instead of hoping this one is right on all 6.

>>127142175
Plain-G setup.

>>127142175
They're both at an angle

>>127141527
Yeah a usable guitar for starters hyuk hyuk hyuk

>>127142473
ummmm check >>127141647
> This one is a blast to play!

>>127142518
thats what they say about all the lemons

For rock/metal type of sounds you need the bridge pickup for 80-90% of the time. You can get along with only using the bridge pickup but sometimes it is nice to use the neck pickup during solos.
For jazz its like reverse. You basically only need the neck pickup but if you want to experiment you can play the bridge pickup also.

>>127136580
Not sure how long ago you were playing music but as of now, get an audio interface and some studio monitors and headphones and you're good. Start learning or re-learning a DAW. Logic is great since you're on a macbook and apple silicon chips (assuming that you're on an M-series mac) are great for making music.

>>127141306
Used properly by the Swede melodeath scene (however that happened), and also by Crowbar's frontman as a boost (he puts all the knobs at mid-course before the gain of his amp).

>>127136580
>When buying a first guitar again, how do you know which to one you should buy?
Always try local ones. You just never know which one will click until you feel it yourself.

>>127130079
dudes EMGs are legit

>>127142827
Actives overcomplicate shit. They aren't bad but they aren't gonna carve out a massive part of the market.

>>127142849
didnt ask

>>127142849
There are passive EMGs too and they sound good, but all have more or less the same profile. Even the active ones.
I prefer Seymour Duncan because their brand is like a candy store. Want PAFs? we got 'em. Want to sound like a fucking chainsaw? we got that too. And it's all passive.

>>127142969
Alexi Laiho's signature pup is a passive EMG with a battery-powered boost pot included

>>127143036
and now he's dead
good riddance

have you been practicing anons?

If you don't, i'll know

>>127142969
Yeah I love SDs too. They're always inventing new stuff.
>>127143110
QRD on this guy?

>>127143138
his name is Mountain and he plays his ukelele all over the place. you could catch him at a wendys or maybe a sears parking lot. he always smells pretty bad but he's not so bod once you get to know him

>>127143348
>getting rid of the best trem

Hot take
Trems are stupid and never sound good when used

>>127143110
My wrists hurt whenever I play now so I probably shouldn't play

https://voca.ro/1mt5yfCsmAuL

>>127143348
Lemme just mod this. Pepecaster's almost done.

>no one wants to buy my slightly modded squier tele for 400€ (I paid 400€ myself 5 years ago for it)
Seems like I will have to own more than 1 guitar then.

>>127140374
>try the neck pickup with any type of drive
>sounds like my guitar is shitting itself
How come science hasn't solved that yet?

>>127143446
I get not wanting a trem, but never sound good? Insanely hot take

>>127141306
I've seen someone use it as a pre-amp and it sounded better (I think it was the Ola Englund video).

>>127140374
Neck for rhythm Bridge for lead.

>>127143484
was youtube trickery

>>127143110
I don't know how to practice. I'm "beginner intermediate" and I have no idea how to approach this. I wish there was a course which told me exactly what to practice. Everything I find is just some random knowledge or concepts, without any resemblance of systematic teaching.

>>127143495
Really? Why would they do that? The tone in which he presented it seemed genuine and somber. I also stumbled upon it from another video, where the person also mentioned it in a serious way. What's the point of tricking people like this?

>>127143508
It's not a trick it actually works. Preamp pedals are real.

>>127143503
It helps to have a goal in mind anon.
Lets say you want to play Bark at the Moon (RIP OZZY FR FR).
You would want to practice alternate picking, D minor, palm muting, etc.

Lets get a little more general, lets say you want to learn a genre. Well, every genre has a toolkit and a bunch of common licks. You would want to practice the toolkit of the genre, if you play country consider fingerpicking, travis picking, chicken picking, excellent left hand and right hand muting, if you want to play metal consider alternate picking, economy picking, sweep picking, tremolo picking, legato runs, minor scales etc.

>>127143508
Nah I'm just joshin' yah haha I don't really know

>>127143466
>any used squier selling for 400 yuros
what the fuck did you expect

>>127143466
What mods? Are they any good?

>roll into Louisiana on fumes and vibes
>gut rumbles like a voodoo drum
>pulled by some cosmic force to the swamps outside New Orleans
>swamp gets real quiet
>air thick like gravy
>start playing an emotionally confused cover of “Cry Me a River”
>swamp stew inside me starts boiling
>no restroom for miles, only nature and fear
>find a tree that looks wise
>apologize to it
>leave behind what I can only describe as a spiritual offering
>wipe with a printed setlist from a failed jazz-fusion trio I found stapled to a cypress root
>feel reborn

>>127143466
its a modified squier
you gotta take the price down by 30-40%

>>127141527
No I need way less.

>>127143812
Don't need a pickup selector? You're cool in my book.

>>127143857
Only one pickup.

>>127143446
Listen to more Blackmore and Beck.

>wrist pain
It's over

>>127144280
not true, its just time to start lifting

>>127130099
im a god damned millionaire and my gf is a 10

>Not practicing your fapping technique to avoid wrist pain.
ngmi
>>127139758

>>127144388
not sure lifting would help with that kind of injury instead of making it worse doc

>>127144280
find a doctor, preferably someone who plays. there's alot of blues doctors.

>>127144585
>not sure how strengthening the muscles, connective tissue, and flooding the joint with blood 5 days a week will help
yeah, thats why your wrists hurt kek

what does gee gee think about the new wave of "smart" guitars?

>>127144637
They aren't good because no fapping technique. They work long hours and end up sleeping on the couch in the hospitals they work at. Can't be jerking there.

>>127144712
>"smart" guitars
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiRcdv2lK58

>>127144712
unironically looks like "minimum viable product" if it was a guitar

>>127144712
>tfw you play a dumb guitar

>>127144712
Gay, I only play retard guitars

>>127144712
>0th fret

>>127144836
This shit is actually weird. Why are Chinese like this?
Or are they actually make shittons of neck planks and pre-fretting them... then cutting them down to size when ready to be put on a body?

>>127144856
That's a headless thing, strandbergs have fret 0 too

>>127144879
But they're doing it to all kinds of guitars.

Hell even steinberger have them
>>127144905
Only the literally who ones, but it's common headless

you guys try out any cool pedals recently?

>>127144915
they even put em on nice guitars too

>>127144926
Marshall makes the best Marshall in a box pedals now.

>>127144936
>another "what if tele but x brand"
It's so tiresome

>>127144946
its a 'lifestyle' tone

>>127144926
harp lady with the big cans ought to play guitar

>>127144926
i gave up on that shit a couple years ago. got tired of it

>>127144950
you gonna cry about it? gonna shit your pants? maybe cum a little?

>>127144961
would you like it if I cum? that's kinda weird man

>>127144960
guess we all age out of creativity eventually

>>127144926
There's not any store with pedals within 4 hours

>>127144973
saved this one for you try it out and let me know how you go

>>127144954
For all the silly lifestyle stuff, they've done a good job of still staying in the guitar space. So I'm not going to hate. It'd be different if they blew guitars off completely. They've kind of pivoted from the big stack days to the Studio models. And these pedals are cool too.

Does marshall have high end modelers like fender

>>127144958
that aesthetic has already been filled

>>127144958
for all the bitching and moaning i see here about every pedal and amp demo jerking off with the same blues licks i think it serves a useful purpose

>>127145012
is this hoe still relevant in current year

>>127145027
more relevant than you my friend :)

>>127145011
No. And I hope they don't try. They made those Code amps, but they stink and I forgot who actual software..but it isn't them.
They're combatting Digital with these smaller gear setups. I think that's cool. They don't lose their identity with this. It's just smaller.

>>127145012
harpist is bigger but i'll take it

>>127145045
forgot who makes the actual software*

>>127144905
Mosrites have always had zero frets

>>127145038
yeah I didn't even michael jackson hyping me up, life's hard

>>127145045
I think they took their lifestyle stuff a tad too far, lots of people don't even know them as the guitar amp brand these days they just think they make bluetooth speakers and headphones

>>127145064
No shit. My bad. That said, that's not a real Mosrite for sure. It's one of those shitplank Chinese guitars like you see plastered on ebay with all kinds of fake logos.

>>127145085
imo making speakers is still on brand, lifestyle is like coasters and clothing, or that fender chair thing

>>127144926
ive really been enjoying my rubberneck delay yeah

>>127145085
That's probably a good thing. Guitarists alone probably weren't going to keep them alive, at least not without downsizing. But now guitarists can still have Marshall around, while everyone gets other shit and props up the company up.
Anderton's recent factory tour is pretty interesting. He makes note of how 10 years ago it felt a bit depressing and quiet. But now it's bustling and they're making shittons of amps. So something must've worked out.

>do my quarterly checkup on /gg/

LEL. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Sounds like the schizo is you.

>one of the three primary colors is a temporary fad
bro it's just a shade of blue

>>127145337
>he thinks blue is a primary pigment
RETARD ALERT!!!!

https://vocaroo.com/160KmVRpV1yP
How can I monetize my generic chugs?

>>127145597
oh they changed what the primary colors are? my bad
doesn't change the fact that blue isn't exactly an exotic finish so I'm right either way
but now that you've been wrong I'm double right

>>127145669
additive and subtractive colourspaces have existed since cavemen figured out you could smear shit on walls
you cannot mix every colour with red, green and blue paint.

>>127145713
I can actually do whatever the fuck I want.

>>127145724
please mix magenta and cyan from red, yellow and blue

>>127145713
I thought that's precisely how to get these colors.
Picrel isn't Pelham Blue. Just using it as an example.

>>127145729
Aren't you making it easier by going to RGBY now?

>>127145729
mix blue and yellow to get green then mix rgb

>>127145750
hex colour is ADDITIVE colour
it only works with coloured light (the pixels on your monitor)
to mix pigment you need to work with CYMK+W which is subtractive colourspace.

erm, guitar?

>>127145866
let him cook

by all means, tell me more about colorspaces because I was actually planning on painting my guitar with a HP inkjet printer

>>127145957
>I was actually planning on painting my guitar with a HP inkjet printer
That would be an awesome way to paint shit.
Just set it in a bed and hit print and out pops a perfectly painted whatever.

>his guitar ain't be nitro
miss me with that cuh

>>127146064
Thats how they digitally print tshirts

>>127145957
Unless you plan to do elaborated graphics wouldn't you end up with weird textures on the paint job

>>127145957
"traditional colour theory" is just what they teach retards in school.
even the mayans had cyan analogues and used them in their colour theory.

>>127146671
>even the mayans had cyan analogues and used them in their colour theory
ah yes, the Mayans... famous for their knowledge about guitar paint

>>127146295
not at all, you just have to keep it from getting wet

wow, this general sucks ass.
the n-word

>>127143537
Not really, just cosmetic. Graphtech nut, new Gotoh tuners and bridge, new pickguard.

>>127143516
I think that's exactly what I want to avoid. I would love to have a curriculum of generic technique stuff and theory to go with it. The way you described seems unorganized and disconnected to me. I think that's how I "learned" before.

so did the guy that makes the new threads just die

>>127138747
Based on the internet and the half dozen guitars I own, there’s something to a set neck in terms of sustain. Notes die a lot easier on Fenders than Gibsons. That’s probably more due to pickup type though desu

>>127147310
Its the pickups. Neck sustain isn't a thing. Sympathetic vibrations are picked up as hum, not tone.
