What’s a good song to learn tonight to teach me some cool chords or progressions? I know a lot of covers already so it must be fairly obscure. I was thinking maybe the boys are back in town by thin lizzy but that seems like a chore at least for tonight.

>>127147510
Obscure as in not the typical cover band shit everyone plays.
>>127147528
I said song not some jazz freak jerking his guitar off

I’m thinking more along the lines of popular songs that aren’t the typical ozzy Led Zeppelin Red Hot Chili Peppers Metallica etc shit everyone knows. Possum Kingdom by the toadies is a good example, lots of creed, stp, and smashing pumpkins stuff fit into what I’m looking for. Even like eve 6 - inside out or whatever. Something easy and fun to learn but has cool chords.

Bro I want shit people can sing along to and have heard before not jam band retard hippie garbage. Nevermind I’ll figure it out myself.

>>127147367 (OP)
I also have a LP BFG. but mine has two black soap bar P-90 pickups.
It's a nice guitar, but I thought it was too "Gimmicky", although, from a far distance the paint job looks like zebra stripes.

Not my usual go to guitar, but it's still nice, and fun to play.

did you learn wreck of the edmund fitzgerald or california dreamin

>Bro I want shit people can sing along to

>>127147894
In terms of fucking cover songs that are overplayed and fairly means sort of not completely there are tens of thousands of songs people can sing along to that every cover band in the world doesn’t play. As in not sweet home Alabama or enter sandman.

It's a Gibson Les Paul Barely Finished Guitar. (BFG)
I'm not sure if that model was made as is, or if somebody did any custom work on it.
I ave one myself. (See. >>127147868 )
They were a limited edition.
I was lucky and got mine on close out for about $700.00 (U.S.) at the time. They also made an SG version, but the SG versions I saw didn't have P-90 pick ups, so I never bought one. I have plenty of other SGs anyway.

I should also mention that this is a 'Weight relief" guitar, meaning that the body has been somewhat hollowed out, so it's lighter than an average Les Paul model guitar.
As I said, they were a limited edition, so they won't be easy to find, and chances are, you'll only find them used, and not new.

But good luck in finding one for under a grand, anyway.

>>127147924
Actual good suggestion for once. I’ve been wanting to learn that.

thanks, you're a lucky guy.
weight-relief sounds nice too

>>127148001
Already know everything off of weathered, human clay and my own prison. Mark tremonti is my fav. I’ll try the smash mouth song.

>>127148056
a lot of the late 2000s studios are chambered too and are a great platform for modding/customizing
the studio fadeds basically just kept value with inflation so you can snag one for $800-900 or less if they are a bit dinged up.

i think i finally saw the Mesa Boogie Tetragrammaton of Gain Staging and now have a liquid mk1 rhythm/lead distortion (treble knob does everything) in channel 1, and a sparkly pushed tweed on channel 2 that cleans up with volume knob. the thing is the master volume actually works, which surprised me. and, taking two speakers out of the 4x12 makes it sound amazing.

Just ordered picrel as my second guitar, what do you think, guys?

>>127148280
if you like it i love it

>>127148280
That's a nice metal machine. People give Ibanez shit but they are great guitars at that level.

>>127148280
I've never liked the ibanez headstock that much
I'm sure it'll be a great guitar though
(pic is the only RG headstock styled guitar I would buy)

>>127148280
At least it has Duncan’s instead of Ibanez dog ass pickups. Sort of went wrong with the gotoh bridge though, locking trems stay in tune much better and don’t snag on the nut.

>>127148403
gotoh makes locking bridges and made the edges for ibanez for over a decade

>>127148403
The other thing I forgot to mention is that if you want to downtune or run heavy gauge strings a regular nut is going to suck. A Floyd or Ibanez locking trem can accept most heavy string gauges without modifications and like I said they actually stay in tune. You’re going to have to be ultra light handed with your trem bar and probably tune up after every song or two.

>>127148321
Thanks anon
>>127148323
>>127148403
I come from 20 years on a black picrel, I think it's an upgrade in all regards (but price of course).

>>127148422
That is not a locking gotoh. That is the same one they put on the charvels a few years ago and it’s kind of ass like the Wilkinson.

>>127148449
I mean that’s fine you probably aren’t divebombing anyway if you come from an sss Strat. But it won’t have the tuning stability of a locking nut or the versatility of string gauges it can accept.

>>127148324
Neat concept, but unless you got that finish as your own, personal custom job, no one is going to use one of these because they'll be to afraid someone else will show up with one. Like women showing up to a party with the same outfit. Too embarrassing.

>>127148474
He doesn't have a lot of string guage versatility with it being a 7-str regardless, but in general stop tails are much easier to migrate string guages on than a floating trem.
Also if he doesn't care about divebombs or crazy bends there's no real reason to introduce the complexity of a floating trem. Look at what he's coming from.
Let the guy learn palm mutes in peace lol

>>127148455
I know, I'm just saying "the gotoh bridge" was a poor word choice as it doesn't describe much as all. Strat-style would have been more descriptive.
>>127148505
The production run of these was low enough that I will likely never even see one available for purchase in my lifetime. IF I did acquire one, chances of finding someone else with one is basically nonexistent.

>>127148505
that's the great thing about nitro finishes. no two age the same way

>>127148562
NTA but I took a quick gander, there's a 2005 HR Giger Ibanez up for about $4k on Reverb but it's a different release.
Looking for this one, I found ONE recently sold on Vintage but the price was confidential. I'm willing to bet $8-$10k IF you can find one, this one of those things you'll be waiting for years to see.
While not as articulated (and I think its a vinyl top instead of metal) there's an HR Giger Fireman too that's pretty rad.

>>127148562
Are you daft? I was obviously talking in the context of the exact model of guitar he bought not all gotoh bridges in general. Get tested for autism or something.

How are Dunable customs? I find their naming convention cringe but I like the look of some of their guitars.

>>127148608
yeah, the cast zinc one is the only one I think really looks that great. I should have specified specifically the SHRG1Z.

>>127148686
>SHRG1Z
>1 of 185
good luck with that!

>>127148684
i'd be leery of a custom shop guitar in los angeles only costing $3k

>>127148686
Yeah $11k on the top end, nice fucking piece though. I hadn't seen this before.

>>127148740
yeah I didnt even consider that kek

>learn intervals not shapes
ok, what are good resources to learn and practice intervals?

>>127149074
your fretboard. get used to singing while playing

>>127149074
The very basics of Intervals can be learned from a 15 minute youtube video, but I'm not sure what the other poster is talking about as you won't understand how intervals are derived if you don't know the major scale.
Most of the work on this subject is memorization, the conceptual part is really simple.

>>127149133
major and minor* sorry. I always do that.

>>127149074
If you know the chords, you know intervals. You know a major barre chord? Then you know a interval, which is the first two strings of the barre. Or a triad is the first three and what some would usually a call a power chord.
If you know cowboy chords, then the interval would be broken down in it's own way. Like a G Major cowboy chord - the interval would be the open G string and D at the 2nd string on the 3rd fret.
Basically, learn basic chords first. Then you automatically know the intervals that they're built from.

>>127148449
I have a Crafter LP Custom copy and I’m currently in the process of modding it. It’s a good guitar and makes all the gibson fanboys seethe because of the open book headstock. Damn talentless faggots.

>>127149208
At least it's not a CCP shitplank. South Korea. Do you play kpop on it.

>>127149188
Very little of this is right. Strings are seperated by 4ths and are not variable intervals. Intervals are derived from a notes position in a key's diatonic scales. Power chords are not triads, triads are the root, third and 5th of a chord and have nothing to do with string positions. In fact power chords don't use the 3rd at all, and are just the root and the 5th. A 3-string power chord is just the root, the 5th and an octave of the root again. Because power chords don't include the 3rd they are "magic" in that they can be played in a major or minor context. They are not triads.

>>127149208
as a gibson owner I prefer knockoff brands to use the open book over some slightly tweaked top, as long as they put their own logo on it.

>>127149332
same

>>127147367 (OP)
how long til my fingers stop hurting? practicing 20 mins a day

>>127149227
No, I‘ll mainly play John Sykes and Blue Murder stuff on it. You can probably guess what my visual end goal after the mods will be.

>>127149349
The pain makes me feel more productive

>>127149332
I commend you on your opinion, sadly the owners of the gibson brand and their lawyers think otherwise.

>>127149349
you need to take a break for your body to heal. like two days. it's the same with going to the gym, your muscles get bigger on rest days

>>127149274
It's three, so it's a triad. The greatest triad of them all.

>>127149349
Left hand?
For fingertips: between 4 and 7 days.
Finger/Forearm endurance/pain/strength: improves slowly but steadily for quite a while as long as you keep pushing it a little.

>>127149479
* and when I say a little I mean also rest when it actually hurts

>>127149423
>sadly the owners of the gibson brand and their lawyers think otherwise.
That's true but not not the full context.
Part of the issue with Gibson is that if they ever stop attempting to defend their trademarks they will potentially lose the ability to claim it belongs to them if the design becomes deemed "generic."
It's called trademark abandonment due to failure to enforce.

>>127149423
I remember when Ibanez made guitars that looked, and sounded just like Gibson.
Boy were they PISSED!

this is some good practicing but I'm pretty sure you're out of tune or your intonation needs to be adjusted as you're flatting out a lot.

>>127149568
oh for sure the solo is so out of tune i don't even like sharing it too often, it makes me cringe.
i wish i had the rest of the source files still so i could re-record it.

>>127149091
how?

>>127149448
A triad is made up of a root, major/minor 3rd, and a perfect 5th. Simple as

What bad habits do you have?

>>127149545
There's also people who don't even want to call it a proper chord (but a dyad). But saying it isn't a triad is even up for debate. Music theory is not the Law of Physics. And there's no Council deciding all of it for you. It's just fucking dorks who never did fucking anything worth a shit who want to make rules. Some would call it an indeterminate triad. With it you can conquer the whole world, with enough bluster, that is. Something this important shouldn't be shelved to the side.

>>127149696
I learned thumb-over, and while I've corrected it a bunch and can switch to thumb-behind for barres and stretches and whatnot, I tend to avoid my pinky more than I should and it fucks me up still.

>>127149699
"indeterminate triad"
no.
A triads definition is simple and requires no nuance.

>>127149349
A few months.

>>127149652
yes but
a triad can be diminished 1, b3, b5
or augmented 1, 3, #5
too

>>127149745
>A triads definition is simple and requires no nuance.
Says who. Some Russian kike probably.

>>127149757
I mean, probably.

>>127149769
kek. OK I'll give it a rest.

What are some rules or knowledge I can apply to create settings that highlight mistakes as much as possible during practice? Regardless of whether the resulting sound is shit from a performance perspective.

Examples:
Distortion highlights bad muting, but masks bad dynamics.
Bridge pickup highlights mistakes better than neck pickup.
Reverb/Delay mask unclean play.
etc.

Any eq settings I can apply to further help my goal?

Why does the bridge on the SG force me to impale myself to palm mute, have I been palm muting in the wrong position this whole time or this the SG just fucked up

>>127149714
There are about two notes (if I'm generous) in this whole instrumental where Michael Schenker uses his pinky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGY0KEGVK6Q

>>127149843
For real, even the rare occasion when its good there's 4 anons ready to chew it up and one anon who will shit on it without listening just to discourage you from doing it again.

>>127147465
I love Scotty but I'm made he gives me the tools and tells me it will be 1-3 years of work to be fluent with the fretboard and multiple modes instead of getting 2-3 prostate-exploding secrets in half an hour like all those cool zoomers on youtube promise

Does anyone here try different cushions between yourself and the chair to see if it changes reverberations? I think something firmer would help tone.

>>127149916
Of an acoustic? Maybe a tiny bit, but I doubt it'd be noticeable outside of a lab environment.
Acoustic instruments want air for reverberation, not more mass.
On electric it wouldn't matter a whit as that's not how pickups work.

>>127149610
learn your major scale; everything is derived from it.with this you can: know all scale shapes, know all chord shapes, build your relative pitch, learn the nashville number system, understand the positions on the fretboard. it also helps you learn songs because 98% of people are playing in a scalar sense (not just random notes).
to practice with it you can: sing your scales, dissect and build your own chords to see how they sound, experiment with chord embellishments like walk-ups and hammer ons, hear how chord inversions work against a harmony, use target notes and chord tones to build solos (improv/composition training).

>>127149500
this happened to tele and strat body shapes. now we can sell as many strat copies as we want as long as the headstocks slightly different

>>127149979
Now post playing

>feel everything I play is generic crap that doesn't sound good

What am I supposed to think?

>>127150153
Oh I see, I thought you meant "made" as in you "made it" in terms of success with your music and guitar playing.
Thanks for clarifying

Just checked on my Classic Vibe strat... turned the truss rod 1/8th a turn 12 hours ago. Not quite there yet... looking at .007 I want .0075 or even .008 relief
Before you get mouthy, listen up. I paid 399 dollars for this axe and 180 dollars for the aftermarket pickups. I'm gonna squeeze every hard earned penny out of this baby.
What kind of music do I play? Rhythm guitar, mainly alternative rock like Nirvana

>>127150213
Woah based. I wrench my rod but it never ends up sounding right.

>127146829
None of what you said makes any sense, you can't learn anything if you don't know what you want to learn, saying you just want to learn guitar is like saying you just want to learn to dance. Theres steps and it really depends on the dance you want to do. If this seems disconnected give up, your brain doesn't have the capacity.

Are Squire telecaster classic vibes actually decent or a meme? Thinking about get one, probably do some mods on it later.

Metronomes are a meme it sounds fine. Kids these days pay way too much attention to the click and not enough to the actual music and swing.

>>127150967
Pink Suhr is way better. Maybe even Blue Jem too.

>>127151044
no you definitely need to have a concept of time to play with feel. any melody sounds different and potentially worse if the rhythm isn't the same

>>127151078
rubato is normal and healthy

>>127151078
Never said you play without feel, you tap your foot, thats the metronome. If you speed up or slow down a bit thats music. As long as everything stays with the pulse of the stomping foot you are fine. If you want perfect aligned to the track quantized garbage just click the button in the DAW.

>>127151076
No, they aren't. I've listened to every vocaroo posted for the last 4 years and nobody comes close to what was posted in that vocaroo.

>>127151103
you aren't going to improvise at a high level without practicing to a metronome or drum loop at some point

>>127151188
How many times are you going to move the goalposts? You can play in time without playing to a metronome. Metronomes are a meme, play with an actual drummer, or like I said stomp your foot, if you can't stop your foot to a pulse the metronome isn't going to help you.

You'll notice theres no metronome or drum track in yet he keeps the groove no problem.

big difference. i don't know if you noticed but that person isn't you.

>>127151254
Okay, since you can't put it together yourself let me break it down as simply as I can so your sub 70 IQ ass can understand it.
1. These people can practice with a metronome till the universe dies of heat death, their rhythm is not going to improve.
2. Metronomes are not the only way to practice timing.
3. Metronomes are not the only way to practice timing.
4. Metronomes are not the only way to practice timing.
5. Metronomes are not the only way to practice timing.
6. Metronomes are not the only way to practice timing.

Hope this helps

>practice timing without having a reference
k

convince me not to

Mozart never wrote any metronome markings. Not only was the metronome a later invention, but the composer never even used other timepieces, such as the chronometer or the clock, the use of which played a much too minor role.

Why is it a circle of fifths and not a badass pentagram?

You guys are making me blush. You guys gotta remember its not a competition though and that kinda thinkin' wont get you anywhere. Think of it like enjoying a nice steak dinner, who cares if the guy next to you can cut it better or eat it better ya know? You're still enjoying a nice steak. Play with whatever makes you comfortable, I prefer drum loops since it sounds more musical.

Props to B.C. Rich for staying true to their roots and pushing original guitar design. In a world full of Fender and Gibson clones, it's refreshing to see a brand that dares to be different. Their bold, aggressive shapes and unique style are a testament to real innovation in guitar craftsmanship. Keep leading, not following!

I just got turned on to YT accompaniment tracks. It didn't even occur to me to look such things up. They'll keep me busy for a while.

>>127151687
those are fun, try drum tracks too, like funk drum loop etc. lets you fill the whole space yourself

i feel like 4 speakers is a lot. i want to just have two speakers in the top of the cab and let them breath out the other holes. but there is a horizontal form. i will remove it so the speakers can breath into the bottom.

i need more power

>>127151768
I would just cut out circular holes in that horizontal piece because it could be helping brace the sides to prevent buckling and shit.

>>127151563
pointy guitars were cool in the 80s-90s
lost their luster after that and now no one buys them because everyone is on the fender/ibanez/gibson pill
same shit with jackson, dean, washburn
fender uses charvel as their superstrat section they won't put on normal fenders and even then it's also dead

Jesus fuck it only took 2 hours of googling to find a random .pdf manual showing how to switch between banks on the Katana Gen 3 models on the amp itself, 99.9% of google results are talking about the gen 2 models and the manual it came with doesn't explain this, gg BOSS.

The one without a vibrato can’t be called a Mustang, they should have just called it a Duo Sonic from the get go.

Facts.

>>127152857
They’re different guitars, duo sonic is hard tail and three way switch, Mustang is slider switches and vibrato.

>>127151935
My buddy inherited one of these from his dad. His dad died when he was 5 or so and his red Elite Strat is one of the only items he has of his dads. It’s an amazing Strat, fucking heavy as fuck, but probably the smoothest playing Strat I’ve ever played.

>>127152946

>>127152934
Nah, there are plenty of hard tail mustangs and mustangs with three ways.

>>127152974
Lovely finishes

>>127152998
What makes bass easier? I've never even held one before

>>127153017
It's not necessarily easier, just different. I played bass in an actual band setting and was good at it and was good at grooves and I liked working with the drummer.
I have none of that with guitar. I'm just flailing trying to sound good and I never do and it's been way, way too long with this shit.

>>127153030
Facts.

>>127153017
depends on your genre. if you want to play dadrock or metal you can just chug a single note. in general bass in a lot harder because you have to play in time, in a way that compliments the harmony, and make other players better. guitar you can just hit a chord a few times per bar and play the godawfullest solo and only people who understand music will be mad at you.

> What makes bass easier
It's not. It's just that people have lower expectations when it comes to bass players (just chug some root notes) and by extension most bassplayers have low expectations when it comes to themselves.

In short: bass is not easier as an instrument to be good at. However it is easier to be a bass player that most people will be happy with.

>>127153071
bump the reds ones up a little.

If a hardtail start is still a strat, there you go. mustang vibratos suck anyways, they should've came with the 2 point trem!

it's just a lotta fun to play

https://voca.ro/18ONftdG7gzZ

nah man, 4x12 with 2 speakers, thats the way. natural chorus. series sounds better i think. the more ohms the merrier.

>>127153170
pickups go in series. now speakers do too?

>>127153170
but the LESS ohms the louder

>>127153017
Bass is easier because I can just use my fingers for basically any genre and it sounds great. Fuck picks.

no matter how many livestreams i do they never practice....

>>127154181
I'd like maple too, and I could take or leave the stripe. But matched headstocks are a big part of the fun.

I can’t tell if people actually like Mustangs here or if it’s all just ironic.

what makes Yngwie different from other Strat players?

>>127154628
nothing, if you take away the classical arpeggios there is nothing else about his guitar playing that stands out. He doesnt play good riffs, his solos are boring, he was just the first to do classical arpeggios

>>127154621
Well there you go, we got a whole offset militia.

>>127154611
whats an off beat

>>127154678
the and. so instead of your riffs starting and landing on the 1, 2, 3, or 4 make them start and land on the inbetweens as much as possible.

>>127154678
The second half of the beat

>>127154678

>>127157263
These YouTube queebs are the ones who reinforce the offset memes. It’s a double edged sword, on the one hand I want them to become more popular. On the other hand, I kinda like that they’re niche and less common. The best outcome would be for cooler people to start playing them to wash out some of the reddit/onions connotations associated with offsets. Maybe my next Mustang could be Chud themed, I’ll get large sticker of David Duke and have confederate flag inlays… gonna take it back a bit from the reddit crowd.
