The chords sound, and I'm choosing my words carefully here, the chords sound stock. If I'm a rock and roller and a song is about me I want it heavy and dark. Not some cookie cutter glitter and sunshine trip. Miss me with that.

>>127176690
I've owned a 4 string stingray bass and have played others over the years, but never one of their guitars. I knew the quality would be top notch I just didn't know if they did some weird shit with their neck dimensions or some other quirk I'd want to be aware of. I don't like buying guitars sight unseen but they have a few used ones that caught my eye and I might just use the return policy as an excuse to justify it.

Any other right-handers try learning left-handed guitar?

>>127176239 (OP)
What's /gg/s favorite tonal interval?
For me it has to be min6

>>127176774
Only $4400, might as well go for it.

>>127176815
The major 7th; it's the saddest interval.

>>127176801
I'm left handed playing right, thought about trying to learn left

You guys seein' this?

>>127176801
I'm left handed playing right hand guitar.
Never saw the reason or the appeal for handedness on the guitar unless there are more severe bio-mechanical issues at play (losing a finger etc.) and right guitars just means 100x more options when it comes to purchases.
But that also means I don't see any problem in playing left handed guitar as a right handed guy.

I just learned that a neutral tonestack for most Fenders and Marshalls is 0, 10, 0. And....it sounds great. Can't crank it now, but cleans and with an overdrive in front, it's works for me.

>>127176898
I'm a lefty playing righty too. Only because I didn't know better when I started. Now I can't unlearn it.
I do just about everything else left handed.

>>127176815
>>127176836
What is an interval?
Not a bait question, I'm genuinely asking because i'm new to theory

>>127176950
> didn't know better
I kind of see it this way: both hands do important work on the instrument. One of them is going to be a bit better at its side at first, so what?
Think about Piano players. Unless you only do the absolutely most basic style of playing (block triads left, melody right) both hands need to be trilled equally anyway doing the same exercises for each hand.

Bottom line. Rock solos don't hit hard anymore. They want those country choruses. With multi-harmony.

>>127176538
>frets fall out

>>127177038
But it was such a deal, I was really sticking it to Big Fender and Big Gibson by buying a guitar from china

>>127176999
That's true. It works out in its own way, since the fretting hand requires it's own dexterity. But I've never been a fast player. I think my picking speed is held back a bit. The most shredding I do is surfy stuff sometimes.

>>127176841
Span or space. Tonal interval is the space between different frequencies.

Once you get a Yahama guitar, then you have to get a Yamaha amp, pretty soon you have Yamaha recorders, Yamaha keyboards, Yamaha accordions, Yamaha drums, you even get a Yamaha motorcycle to drive to buy your newest Yamaha xylophone, you go camping with your Yamaha acoustic to jam with your friends and then when you're done you unleash your Yamaha jetski for a ride on the lake. It never ends. Best to avoid it.

Because of how we chose to split it up historically?
>"Why did we choose to split it up like that"
It's a compromise of what number would end up with all "useful" and no "not useful" ones.
On a guitar it seems like it would be pretty perfect to have the fifth in the place where the diminished fifth is currently (right in the middle of the octave (which is what it actually is mathematically)).

Tones are frequencies. So having two different frequencies playing at the same time (with an interval between them) is the same as two different tones at the same time. And listening to it, you'd hear what they sound like together.

>>127177181
Yamaha is based because their logo is three tuning forks.

Ah, yes, to understand interval and tone you must first understand music. Music the ineffable tapestry woven not in time, but around it, the shape of silence formed in the echo of a sound that never asked to be heard. To speak of it directly would be to offend its essential obliqueness, for music is not the note, nor the rest, but the space in between the intentions of either. And so, to address your question which is not a question, but rather a vibration in the conceptual key of inquiry we must begin, paradoxically, at the end.
Imagine, if you will, a chord not played, but implied humming faintly in the collective subconscious of a moment not yet born. That’s where we begin, and by beginning there, we loop, like a vinyl crackling in the dark warmth of indecision. One must not ask what music is, but rather when it is not, and even then, beware of conclusions masquerading as rhythms.
The melody, if it can be called that, dances on the periphery of understanding, a fugitive from structure yet loyal to form in ways that only the unconscious mind can notarize. Think not of instruments, but of the absence of their touch: the piano not pressed, the guitar unstrummed, the voice exhaled as breath but withheld as message.
And harmony? Ah, yes harmony. The algebra of emotion divided by the irrationality of sensation, yielding an answer that feels like memory but smells like potential. It isn't about what fits together, but about what falls apart in aesthetically pleasing patterns. Tension is not dissonance, and resolution is not peace; they're just lovers pretending they met in a key signature neither of them understands.
So, then have we answered nothing? Or have we circled so far around the answer that we've arrived at a place beyond the question? The bassline of your inquiry throbs still, a reminder that sometimes the most articulate reply is a shrug with perfect pitch.
And thus, we conclude, without closure but with cadence.

>>127177432
Now that’s precisely where the misunderstanding begins but only if you define "understanding" in such limited, linear terms. The idea that music is the space between while seductive is ultimately an echo caught in a hall of mirrors. To cling to such a notion is to mistake the shadow for the dance and then choreograph around its refusal to exist.
You posit silence as a framework, but silence is not the frame it’s the negative sculpture of intention, carved out by the absence of unspoken instruments. The implication that sound is a fugitive from structure suggests structure was ever something from which to flee. But no structure is the myth. The real architecture is sensation, freeform yet absolute, like a key signature scribbled in invisible ink on parchment that’s been burned and reconstituted as a sigh.
You speak of chords not played but those chords are the truth. Not their silence, but their imagined presence a kind of ontological prank pulled by the universe. Dissonance and resolution aren't lovers, they’re the same being flickering in and out of perceptual alignment like a broken MIDI controller transmitting divine errors.
And melody, far from dancing on the periphery, is the periphery. It is the scaffolding that the void uses to pretend it once had form. Breath withheld as message? No, friend the breath is the message. The exhale doesn’t merely suggest a note, it is the whole damn symphony, written backwards and upside-down in a language only understood by those who forget what listening means.
So no, we have not circled around the answer. We’ve tripped over it in the dark, mistook it for a coffee table, and spilled the sacred drink of truth all over the carpet of cosmic rhythm. And in that stain, in that accidental syncopation of understanding, lies the real cadence: unresolved, uninvited, unmistakably complete.

>>127178785
I would recommend trying to play anything with a pattern for a while, just to get used to holding the thing, but on top of that, I hope you pick out some nice picks! You gotta try playing before you can start playing. You dig?

Or of course, there's finger style, fingerpicking, and tapping , which won't necessarily require a pick. There are a lot of terms to pick up. Like, it takes a while for an electric guitarist to see that most things are done with the same couple of ideas in mind... hear me out-- there's 'Charlie Christian' pickups, P90s, humbuckers, Tele bridge and neck, strat single coils, wide range humbuckers, lace sensors, mini hums, firebird, jazzmaster, Mustang, jaguar, gold foils, duo-sonic, maybe even stretching it with how different some are, how similar others are. But like, aside from choice of wraps and amount of bobbins and polarity of magnets and whatnot, there's not much else we have. It's either nutty, or sad. Or maybe it's good.

You don't get killer tone by practicing, you get killer technique. That's why the player who can shred your face off is hot ass on his own, but the sound guy who only knows Blitzkrieg Bop can get him actually sounding good.

>>127176268
tone is in the gear you fucking idiot.

>>127177022
solos were always stupid though. playing a really tight, quick, detailed groove over and over so people can dance never gets old. and neither do melodies, which are different than solos.

>>127179089
Um no. Tone is in the fingers. You must be retarded if you think it takes a sound guy to make an acoustic guitar sound good. Obviously guitar always sounds better in the mix of a full band, but the actual amp / guitar / pedals don’t matter that much. Eddie Van Halen played hundreds of different rigs on records and always sounded like himself. Gear makes you sound different, but the actual tone you’re putting into it comes from the dynamics of how you play. I’d rather listen to a guy play the ramones who has good rhythm and dynamics over some shredder wannabe who economy picks every single note at the same volume, avoids bends and vibrato at all costs, never digs in and only focuses on min maxing speed techniques.

>>127179185
Some solos are integral to the melody of the song, like freebird. But I agree that they’re unnecessary if they’re only intended to showboat and don’t melodically enhance the song.

Steve Harris does that intentionally

>>127179640
Do you consider classical music to be “noodling” because it’s not all rhythm instruments with a vocalist signing the melody? How stupid are you, actually? Guitarists can play melodies and solos at the same time. So can any other melodic instrument. Not everything has to fit whatever autistic cookie cutter ideal you have for songwriting.

You don’t need a fucking sound guy to play an acoustic guitar in a room.

>>127179640
And it’s not a pentatonic scale by the way, it’s a g major blues scale. At least know what the fuck you’re talking about before you go around being like erm actually.

>>127179743
Eddie Van Halen sold 10s of millions of records without a neck pickup.

>>127181032
(Yes I’m aware he would use guitars with neck pickups in the studio on some songs but rarely and not a ton until the mid 90s)

>>127181032
God I hope you're not still trying to mimic him in 2025

>>127180503
even better, a frankenstein kramer focus 4000 shitplank with terrible scallops that I built for under $200
>>127180784
Yeah I remember unboxing the body and neck and immediately starting to sand off the brown paint. When I saw the neon green underneath I just left it as is and clear coated it. Its a thrash shitplank and I cant think of a better paintjob for it.

>>127180271
peepeepoopoo

>>127181060
I’ve never tried to mimic him but single day pickup guitars that are directly mounted to the guitar and fed to a single no load volume pot do sound better. I’ve had them. If you rarely use a neck pickup they’re great.

>>127181102
Yeah not for me, clean will always sound like ass on the bridge pick up no matter what kind

>>127181117
You pick too hard and have the wrong amp settings then. Roll your volume off to about 6 or 7 and use a light touch it sounds good. I’m actually thinking instead of going JB/59 on my charvel I’m gonna save money and just do a single JB to my no load volume pot. Eliminate the switch and have a custom pick guard drilled. That’ll save me over 150 dollars and I think the guitar will sound better.

>>127181117
Hendrix, Gilmour, evh, tremonti, gibbons, Clapton, angus young, and thousands of other dudes play cleans on the bridge and make it sound good. You just don’t know what you’re doing.

>>127181235
Yeah they can go fuck themselves and they sound like ass

>>127181252
Pretty sure you’re the one who sounds like ass brother. Some of the most iconic clean songs were recorded on the bridge pickup.

>>127177124
It's because harmony is logarithmic. Perfect fourth is 4/3, and perfect fifth is 3/2. Motion does not add frequency, it multiplies it, so stepping up a fourth and then fifth is (4/3)*(3/2)=2, which is octave ratio. Now, this is just temperament, it's nice and round, but you can't switch keys. In 12TET, you can switch keys but instead, one fret changes frequency of the sound by twelveth root of 2, or 2^(1/12). That means, perfect fourth is 2^(5/12)=1.3348, and perfect fifth is actually 2^(7/12)=1.4983, and octave is 2^(12/12)=2

you guys ever thought about truck nuts on guitars?

>>127181307
>>127177215
>Because of how we chose to split it up historically?
But why did we choose to split it up like that? Now, it's not clear whether the ancients have mastered the logarithm, but they chose to split octave into 12 equal logarithmic pieces to gain access to overtones of a string or pipe instrument,
3/2 for the fifth ~2^(7/12)
4/3 for the fourth ~2^(5/12)
5/4 for the major third ~2^(4/12)
6/5 for the minor third ~2^(3/12)
9/8 for the major second ~2^(2/12)
etc. the rest are not as pretty
In every key, because they are spaced logarithmically the same distance apart, by 2^(1/12). Some overtones (septimal intervals for example) are only available if we lose frets altogether, or go to obscenely high number like 31TET.
