Anyone notice that all the singers from 2000-2010 look the same? Eyeliner, spikey hair, what the fuck?

What if it was reversed? Like I'm already kinda femme so I decided to go Fender. Fender didn't make me a faggot, faggots just tend to like Fender. Doesn't mean anything and theres nothing wrong with being gay. Ever notice how any guy who can sing and play piano at the same time has a penchant for sucking cock?

When puppies play, young boy dogs often let the girls win, so as to entice the females to play with them.

I'm going to get my hands on my old guitar this weekend, bros. I gave it to a friend many many years ago, and drifted apart after he got married. We're hanging out this weekend and he said he's still got it.

>>127165368
Hes gonna play that guitar while you watch. You like that huh?

The Popeyes chicken sandwich is very good. I must have been in a test market because I had one months before they became a big thing, and I thought it was noticably good. Then all of a sudden it's being sold out everywhere. Thing is, as a punk rocker, I can't bring myself to have another one now that it's mainstream.

You ok bro?

What is the greenroom etiquette on eating the closing bands catering after they leave to the stage?

>>127165667
I have a feeling you won't ever have to worry. Greenroom is for entertainers only. Lightning Hopkins had a sign on the door that said as much. Catch you in the green room, you're cooked, Goober.

Let me finish this crossword puzzle real quick, but then go ahead and cook me. Big strong man like you gonna need more than little ol me to fill that unquenchable hunger, no? Reckon I bring a few of my pals around in case you need more meat.

“Neal’s death had hit me harder than I knew; I’d been obsessing on the loss of one of the most inspiring people I’d ever known personally. At one point in the show, I entered a state of total brain-sag — frighteningly, nothing that was being played made any sense to me. I was so panicked that I stopped playing to try to figure it out.

“Even worse, I suddenly noticed that Jerry was glaring at me from across the stage — something that had never happened before. I was so distressed that I stared blankly back at him.

“After the show, as I was trying to slink out without anyone noticing, I encountered Jerry at the top of the stairs leading to the dressing room. He grabbed me by the collar, and snarled, ‘You play, motherfucker!’ and shoved me aside. I tripped over my own feet and fell down the stairs right on my ass. Jerry was normally such a sweetheart that I was shocked beyond belief at being physically manhandled by him. I must have provoked him beyond reason, something I promised myself I would avoid assiduously in the future.”

Lesh left the gig that night and was promptly splashed and drenched by passing police car driving through a large puddle. According to Lesh, Garcia apologized for the altercation when the band gathered at the Carousel for the following evening’s show

>>127165807
this is the best in the end

does anyone have a video on how and where to place your hand on the bridge for electric guitar? i'm used to playing accosting where my arm just dangles in the right spot

I love Phil Lesh 100%, but he is a total goober. But it's important to not let peoples appearance skew how you value their work/actions. I think he leaned into that look though. I read his autobiography and it was very good. He had some cool looks in the 60s, but he doesn't seem to be about that.

That looks like a good guitar even at first glance, and G&L is a trustworthy brand. I would like another colour but I would ad it to my collection and I'm not at all the target audience.

How long do you give yourself to connect with a guitar?

>>127166679
>>127166654
Thanks. I've heard it's good but I'm worried about the sound since it seems like a blend between a tele and strat and I can't find any videos comparing the sound to either of those guitars.

>>127166746
I know by the first G chord son

>>127166796
https://voca.ro/1n3Sc1Tsb9SH

>>127166754
You'd have a humbucker that usually gives a very clean sound, and a P90 that gives a warm but relatively punchy single-coil sound. It's a rare combination but, in my experience, a very good one if you want to make both soft dream pop and grungy hard stuff.
It's a very versatile guitar and you could extensively mod it without it being too much a piece of work and with great results, for instance swapping the pickups of course, and also putting a push-pull for the humbucker if it doesn't come by default (which it should).
But you shouldn't even compare this one with a tele or a strat because it's a completely unique setup. You're not having a strat sound and I'm not familiar with the tele at all, but I know for a fact unless you split the humbucker you won't have a single-coil sharp sound, and strats as a matter of fact all have a capacitor that makes the treble "bleed" in high frequencies which makes them sound the way they do. I don't know about teles though.
Like I said, and honestly, if you want to sound like a strat or tele you can absolutely go for that G&L and mod the fuck out of it for sure. I would have so much fun splitting the humbucker, adding a capacitor to the pickup circuit, eventually changing the P-90 for a humless, etc.
The guitar is beautiful on top of that.

Gladly, present your balloon knot.

NARRATOR (gravelly, tired):
The day started like any other. Hot wind, cold coffee, and regret waftin' through the air like the stink of a blown tube amp.
That's when he walked in again.

(Door creaks open, bell jingles)
Mountain.

They say he ain't a man, not really. More like a concept in cargo shorts, drifting from one Guitar Center to the next. Leaves behind a trail of confused employees, broken input jacks, and a stench that ain’t natural nor explainable by science.

He came in wearin' a sleeveless flannel, faded from years of sweat and shredded dreams. His hair looked like a tornado hit a ZZ Top record, and he carried that damn Epiphone SG like it was forged in the fires of Mt. Discount.

MOUNTAIN (cheerful, off-kilter):
Afternoon, sport. Just here to give my SG her weekly run.
She’s been achin’ to sing.

NARRATOR:
That damned SG. It’s got a cracked headstock and a sticker that says “Not For Sale—Spiritually.” The man strummed a single chord and all hell broke loose.

(Fuzzed out distorted chord, feedback whines like a banshee)

The walls trembled. A Roland JC-120 caught fire. Some kid in the acoustic room started weeping. One of the employees tried to stop him. Poor kid didn’t know you can’t put out a wildfire with a lanyard and a polite request.

EMPLOYEE (panicked):
Sir! Please! This is a place of business!

MOUNTAIN (softly, almost sad):
Business is boomin’, bucko.

NARRATOR:
Then came the song. Wasn’t quite a cover of “Kiss Me” by Sixpence None the Richer, but it wasn’t not that either.
It was warped. Slow. Like he was playin' it through a puddle of time.
Every note hung in the air like cigarette smoke in a confession booth.

Folks tried to leave, but they couldn’t. Not 'til the loop pedal gave out.
One guy said he saw God, and she looked annoyed.

And just when we thought the worst was over… it happened.

(Wet squelching sound. Distant gasps. A cymbal crashes.)

NARRATOR:
No one ever sees it coming.
Not even him.

MOUNTAIN (gentle, sincere):
Well, it happened again.
Sorry about the Fender wall.

NARRATOR:
He left the same way he always does. Quietly. Mysteriously.
Leaving behind only the smell of flame-grilled sorrow and reverb that’d make a grown man doubt his choices.

(Door creaks open. Bell jingles. Fades shut.)

NARRATOR (low, reflective):
They’ll clean the carpets.
They’ll retune the demo guitars.
But they’ll never forget him.

Mountain.
A man. A myth. A natural disaster

>business is booming bucko

>order a guitar from Sweetwater

>I don't even have the guitar yet
>haven't received any email about anything being wrong
So do they just like talking to customers?

>>127168437
this is normal. they assign you a sales rep.
if you ever order a new guitar, call the sales rep and ask if he can get you a discount or throw in some strings. they usually will.

>give custom guitar builder $4k 2 years ago and cant get them to respond to emails
>this is fine
>order off the shelf shitplank from sweetwater and they call to confirm details and make sure I don't have any questions before they ship
>what the fuck is their problem?
No in between

>>127168437
I know they take customer service seriously at least. And the sales guys are all musicians are gear geeks too. Maybe he just wants to tell you how jealous he is of your new shitplank and he's playing it right now.

Where are my Friedman IR-X chads at?

Sheer gain.
But Boogies were originally a mod of a Princeton, I think. The Deluxe is even more of a clean machine.

>>127169014
yes, the first boogie was a princeton. he put a 12" in it instead of a 10", a 100 watt transformer, and hotrodded it. the rest is history. 25 years later, randall produced his magnum opus - the Mesa Boogie Heartbreaker. the greatest classic tube amp of all time.

>>127169014
Sheer versatility for professional & beginner musicians alike.
But Katanas were originally a mod of an ME-90, I think.

>>127170243
It's probably stupid thick and the paint will strip trying to get it off.

I have Duncan distortions in my charvel, which I’m not too fond of. They’re ok for metal but everything else they’re a little harsh. I guess my options are to go with like a JB/59 combo or possibly get some nice vintage pafs or something. Do you think it’ll sound like a Les Paul if I put botique pafs in it or should I just go with the JB/59?

>>127170712
real pafs weren't potted so the only way for it to actually sound like a 59 is to have microphonic pickups

>>127170712
PAFs won't sound like a LP in a Charvel. But it might be what you're looking for (less harsh).

>>127170735
I just mean like some bare knuckle or other paf style pickups. I like the way the jb’s sound in a charvel but I feel like it’s a waste of money to buy something that comes as a factory option in my guitar. Wish I’d have waited to find one with the JB/59 combo. The distortion bridge is way too high gain and bright and the neck pickup is muddy.

>>127170744
Other problem is it has a Floyd and this guitar has the larger tremolo bridge pickup. They make a JB trem version so that’s probably what I’ll have to go with. I know with my old charvel hard tail that had JB/59 I could do everything on it from pop punk to jazz and classic rock no problem. These pickups as soon as I venture outside of hard rock they sound like dogwater.

>>127170793
>I know with my old charvel hard tail that had JB/59 I could do everything on it from pop punk to jazz and classic rock no problem. These pickups as soon as I venture outside of hard rock they sound like dogwater.
Stick with that then. Probably tempting to test out other stuff, but you already know these work for you.

>>127170835
Looks like my luthier will swap them out for 70 bucks. I know I could probably do it myself but I don’t even know if or where I have a soldering iron or how complicated it is since I have a coil split and no load volume pot.

>>127170967
You don't need to justify paying someone to do it. Being able to pay someone to do the work that you're fully capable of doing is freeing and a luxury you've afforded yourself.

>it's ok when martin does it
i don't even care if you hate gibson. don't call failure to maintain something a design flaw

>>127171521
Gibson actually fixed this in the 70s but boomers demanded it back

>>127171590
i've heard conflicting stories on the success of the volute so i can't say either way

Even if you set breaks aside, the headstock angle being so deep is just worse for tuning stability.

>>127171648
not really. the problem is the angle coming out of the backside of the nut going to the d and g strings. just compensate the back side of the nut and you won't have any problems. too shallow of a break angle like a fender A string causes problems but having a steep break angle does nothing but put more pressure on the saddle and nut

The volute on Martin 28 series (and the blingy stuff based on the 28, like the D-45, etc) is purely to not piss off traditionalists. They're just like Gibson guys here. And they do buy them. They don't demand and bitch for the sake of it. So Martin doesn't see the change it. I guess just like Gibson.
Nothing else Martin makes has a volute. Never has. I mean D-18s and such.
I have a D-18 btw. lol

>>127171733
Martin doesn't see the need to change it*

My cheap chink amp has started cutting in and out, mostly observable during F chords for some reason

>>127171733
I thought it was on trims above the 21s, except the D35 for some reason.

>>127171866
I guess because the D-35 (or D-36) are sort of their own thing too.. They have a 3 piece back.

>>127171891
Also to add...
Even though the D-35 was a high number, it was actually made with budgeting in mind originally when they wanted to salvage as much rosewood as they could (Brazilian in those days). So they used small pieces for a 3 piece back. But maybe that made it less "fancy" in Martin's mind.. so it didn't get the fancy diamond volute. Just a guess.

>>127172009
That's the level of care that makes Sweetwater different. Other stores, sometimes you get came but it's impersonal, and sometimes none at all. But your Sweetwater rep values you enough to have a personal session with your gear.

>>127172134
Hah, more like saltwater, am I right?

Thanks, bro. Pulled the trigger on the honey burst; will probably blow the extra money on pedals I don't need -- been meaning to get an mxr Layers and a parametric eq pedal... that JHS klon clone, Boss digital delay... maybe a Boss PS-5 so I can do pitch dives.

Are there enough songs in Eb standard to justify tuning and setting up a double locking tremolo for it? I figure you can just capo the first fret if you want to play E standard

it's in C. i know that much. but what strings and what gear etc. how do get his tone

all i have is an epiphone casino. i don't even have an amp yet lol

>>127171492
Well I don’t really have a lot of money but I’d rather pay him than take on a project that could be more complicated than I wanted it to be and have it done right. 35 a pickup really isn’t bad. I’ll have to save 270 to get the whole thing done. But, considering I only paid 450 for my pro mod socal used it’s worth it. Cheaper than buying another guitar at least, and this one plays fantastic.

>>127172402
That guitar is hideous. You did yourself a favor. Honeybursts are awesome.

Yes, but no just use a digitech drop or whammy. I keep mine in standard and polyphonic pitch shift for drop tunings. You would never notice unless it’s like d standard or lower. I’ll have to get a second guitar for drop d etc though this thing is a pain in the ass to drop the e string on. It’s floating so I can’t d-tuna.

It's weird to never want a Keisel

>>127173570
No. They look cool and sound cool but honestly play like shit, are heavy, and really uncomfortable to play sitting. I do want one though just for the toan. Nothing else sounds like a Les Paul.

>>127173315
For me it's the OCD.

>>127173577
You have to cut your nut for the string gauge you’re using. If you’re dead set on running heavier than factory gauge strings then you need to have the nut set up and filed properly. Unless you think you can do it yourself, but you own a squier so prolly not.

Kiesels are shit. They were shit when they were carvin now they’re even more shit.

>>127173524
Very tempting but half the reason I got another guitar was to have one with lower tuning to save breaking strings all the time.

>>127173654
Put one in drop d and one in e standard and use a drop pedal. That pretty much covers 99% of everything except stuff that’s in weird alternate tunings like dadgad

Keisel derangement syndrome

>>127173654
You can pitch shift up with the whammy pedal too if you want to keep it in e flat and play songs in e standard. There are certain songs like man I feel like a woman and jump where I’ll pitch shift to e sharp instead of using a capo and having to transcribe everything. Capos are homosexual

How loud do you bros play? I couldn't stand having the sound coming out of my amp be a different pitch from the actual strings themselves.

I’ve never played a Les Paul that left me feeling like I ever wanted one until I played a Junior then a Special. The simple slab body Les Pauls do it for me while normal ones I just don’t like.

Had a Les Paul Studio custom from the same year in that color. Miss that motherfucker.

>>127173718
I play with studio monitoring headphones at around the same maximum volume of my airpods which are set to 90db. Just loud enough to sound good, not loud enough to do any hearing damage. Sometimes I catch myself turning it up a little too high though. I really should figure out how to monitor the decibel levels tho. I’m 38 and don’t want to lose any more hearing or get worse tinnitus.

Beautiful color. I'm going to keep that on my list for when BTC hits $1M.

Actually play one first. The nut widths are insanely thin.
As for which model, the 360s with the rounded corners are sexy as fuck.

It's more that I'm not a huge fan of the rounded bodies of the 360, but I'm also not a fan of the boring dot inlays on the 330

Fuck. I have eight guitars. I thought I heard that Sweetwater gives decent store credit if you sell your shit through them, is that true? Should I just dump em at GC? I don't want to get robbed if I were to play them on craigslist; I don't have facebook for marketplace.

Can you get away with just doing power chords and certain riffs well?

>>127174177
Uh not that I know that work as well. Neural dsp works well if you’re using amp sims. It’s expensive here too like 250 for the regular pedal and 400 for the whammy.

I’m thinking I should order a decibel meter from scamazon and check my headphones before I play with them. The problem is normalizing all the channels and media (songs or whatever I’m playing along to) so they don’t go over a certain db. I have to play with headphones I live in a condo. I rarely go past 1/4 volume on the headphones out of my interface but who knows how loud it actually is. I know I don’t get any hearing damage alerts on Apple so I just try to match the volume I listen to music at which is usually 2 clicks below the 90db cap I set on my AirPod pros.

>>127172818
you could try using shitty practice combos, the little ones with an 8 or 10" speaker and just send a stupid amount of signal into it. find a cheap peavey bandit combo if theres one nearby for cheap. that was a pretty common amp they used

>>127174116
you can play louder, just not for hours.
"safe" levels are 85dB for 8 hours. every 3 dB above that, halve the time.

so like 97dB is fine for half an hour

>>127174886
the gojira one has a great model of a whammy if you have an expression pedal handy and like the digital artifact-y sound, a bunch of the heavy ones just have a straight detune knob. if you just use that and none of the other parts of the plugin, you can run it into anything else you normally use. having said that, the plugins can produce some great sounds

you guys ever have a technique that you can perform on a fundamental level but no matter how much you practice it you don't seem to get better, and it just never comes together for you? for me it's slap. i can play rhcp songs but shit like primus is impossible. been at this shit for 3 months

>>127168437
sweetwater has really great customer service, I'll applaud them for trying to give you the "personal" experience of old brick and mortar stores unlike 99.99% of modern online retail where there's no human element at all in any aspect of the customer journey.

>>127174323
The thing with these advanced teachers is they assume you already know the basics. If you aren't already an intermediate player don't bother, they aren't going to hold your hand, if you can't see what someones playing just by looking at their hand you aren't ready for advanced lessons.

>no tone on bridge
why is this allowed

>>127175323
Why would you select the brightest position and then immediately try to cuck it with a tone knob? Are you retarded? the bridge is meant to be completely open

>>127175373
>meant to
it should do what i want it to, ideally not gouge my eardrums with brightness too often

>>127175317
his courses were marketed towards beginners though. this guy also had him stinnet work with him every day for his entire time at berklee but the best he can do is charge money to download some sheet music? like bro come on

>>127175424
Why would you want your guitar to sound like shit? I have tone control over my bridge pickup on my SG and it sounds like dogshit if it isn't dimed.

>>127175373
>the bridge is meant to be completely open
lol no, every pickup needs tone adjustment. thats why gibsons have 4 to 6 knobs.

>>127175317
Ive noticed there are a lot of famous guitarists who give online lessons for like $100 to $200 per hour. Its kind of crazy to not look for the absolute best guitar teachers instead of just going for whoever teaches at your local guitar shop

>>127175535
The best players are self taught. Maybe a couple tips from their peers but never a "lesson".

>>127175515
I mean they can have all the knobs they want if you turn them down from 10 the guitar tone suffers massively. Pedals are expecting the full tone, amps are expecting the full output.

>>127175557
Suffers massively? Maybe if you're trying to sound like hot ass. The knobs are as important as any amp EQ.

>>127175619
Post your evidence in a vocaroo or you're just talking out your ass.

What guitar are you playing tonight, /gg/?

>>127175627
Nearly 100 years of jazz guitarists rolling the tone knob back already proved me right. If you wont listen to them you wont listen to me.

>>127175684
No vocaroo, figures.
Just more anecdotes. Cool.
Those jazz muscians aren't playing a humbucker on the bridge bud.

>>127175557
that's only partially true. tons of famous musicians shared techniques with eachother. you just weren't invited

Still messing around with different EQs and how they work with my pedals, but gyatt damn the Prince of Tone is v nice. If anyone has any tips for running one with lots of dirt lmk. Right now I'm running it at 4 on the volume, 7 treb and ~6 bass.

I don't plan on taking lessons, at least for a long time but you'll 100% end up at the same place self-taught or not if you have what it takes.

>>127175718
The second one is better, I like that tone.
The first one sounds like shit, I'd scrap that entire tone and start over from the beginning.

When sliding a barre chord down, do y'all lift your fingers up or just slide it down the strings?

Different strokes I guess...

>>127175680
This one. I need to replace the tone pot. The post snapped off when I was trying to remove the knob. This is the only Fender guitar of the hundreds I’ve played where the fucking knobs weren’t removable. Maybe the previous owner super glued them? If so, he’s a cunt. Any recommendations for a quality replacement?

>>127175883
Yeah try a G&L or Suhr instead

>>127175557
>The best players are self taught. Maybe a couple tips from their peers but never a "lesson".
Im aware that many famous guitarists made their careers by learning 3 chords, its referred to as "3 chords and the truth". but the world is full of bands that can only crank out the same riffs over and over, so I dont recommend anyone be self taught unless they are learning for fun or enjoy being a poor professional musician with zero prospects for fame

>>127175918
>prospects for fame
I don't recommend guitar in any capacity for that. Even the "big names" in modern guitar are tiny compared to what used to be possible. Instrument and music in general is dead in the water culturally.

Yo /gg/ what do y'all think of this, should i buy

>>127175937
>Even the "big names" in modern guitar are tiny compared to what used to be possible
That's only true for dedicated guitarists, not at all for singer-songwriters.

Fast picked shredding. Been at it for 30 years and no matter how much I practice I can’t play alternate picked runs above like 150bpm. I practiced stuff like no more tears solo for a month and I just can never get fast and smooth enough for it to be natural. I managed to record it once perfect but never again. Idk why. I can play almost any rock or blues solo and most faster legato but when it comes to really fast alternate picking I can’t sync my hands up properly. It’s frustrating, but I’m so good at boomer bends, vibrato and other techniques that I don’t dwell on it too much.

>>127175535
I was lucky that Chris Broderick was teaching from a guitar store when I took lessons from him. Haven’t had lessons since then which was before he joined megadeth. I’ve thought about going back but idk.
