Depends on your needs. Straw brooms are better for out-of-doors applications. The plastic ones, with shorter whisksers, for discrete, indoor work. You merely pick the one best suited to the task.

played my first solo some days ago. i recorded it using a cheap audio interface.

Neural Amp Modeler "YJM100" (that Yngwie amp) capture from ToneHunt sent to AmpliTube Marshall style cabs, on top of some neoclassical ballad track. Tone knobs disabled - single coils only, shred toanz test

the kinda guy to spend $60,000 on an old analog tape mixer whatever production equipment

i bought an ancient behringer usb guitar, it sounds like shit, i'll need to buy an amp now or maybe one of those sound interfaces

>>127250180
if you're talking about this then throw it away.

Did you think speeding it up would make it sound better?

kek i play better than some homeless people and i dont even know all 30 chords from scotties AUG(tm)

>>127250210
well just throw it away anyways. these usb guitars really sucks and youtube fags will keep advertising them for some reason. aim for a cheap amp if you're only playing guitar for fun.

>>127250235
not sure if for fun means taking it lightly...
i wanna learn and play it well, maybe join a conservatorium eventually

>>127250249
Don't go analog route brother, you'll just end up getting your house full of useless gear that you can't get rid of that heats up your small room

DAW, Audio Interface (Scarlett) is good and free Amp sims like Neural Amp Modeler is all you really need. Maybe EQ pedal. Go minimalist, go digital. It's a learning curve to use DAWs, but you will sound better than these materialists and it is much more Fun and you will have endless options

>>127250058 (OP)
The most versatile guitar you could buy is something with a solid body and two humbuckers, no tremolo

>>127250368
TRVKE

>>127250368
Three single coils is better than two humbuckers.

>>127250368
absolutely not. humbuckers are good for rock/metal and that only. single coils get 95% of the way there for those genres (even further in some cases). the most versatile guitar has and always will be the Strat.

>>127250372
single coils are awful for metal

>>127250366
What you'll learn by doing your own tinkering: priceless.

>>127250380
split humbuckers do any single coil jobs just fine

>>127250194
totally fine, once you get the signal into your computer then its up to what plugins you're using as to whether it will sound good. what are you using at the moment?

every company offers trials of their stuff so feel free to try a few out
if you use a vst hosting program, try out the bluecat amps, they're free and sound great for the price.

pluginalliance also offer free amps if you sign up to their mailing list and then block the emails

>>127250382
>yeah but what about "insert literal who that uses them live only"

>>127250180
Are you listening to the raw signal? If it's going through a preamp and it's still shite you need something better.

>>127250382
>can only play metal
>most versatile

>>127250423
if it's going through a preamp into the interface then it's going to sound terrible, same as if you listen to that signal through anyothing other than a speaker cabinet. you need an IR if you aren't using a cabinet

>>127250437
Yeah I meant preamp+IR, all the ones I see nowadays have at least one IR built in.

>>127250368
Ibanez AZ with SSH seymour duncans is the most versatile guitar ever made. Also the best guitar ever made period. It's actually absurd how good they are, even the cheaper standard model is fantastic.

ideally you're able to pick and choose IRs but the built in ones are probably half decent these days.
Just to confirm, example vocaroo. it goes (raw-preamp only- with IR)

>ugly strat ripoff being played by a balding weirdo
wow, very convincing

>>127250496
yes it's a stratocaster that doesn't sound like Fender's limpdick garbage because it has actual pickups instead of alnico trash from the 60s , also has a modern body/neck setup so you can actually play the thing. Incredible what the passing of time achieves!

>>127250475
Eh, I have the AZ prestige from when I first started (wanted to be Timi Henson).

Its ergonomic, 24frets. Trem. Body cuts for comfort. Roasted maple neck.

Honestly, It sounds sad but I don't play it anymore. Gibson seems to be my go to now. Can't play anything else.

>>127250564
Have you participated in Bocchi threads on /a/ by any chance?

>>127250599
Preamp either means the literal preamp that amplifies your signal and shapes it's tone, or a pedal/plugin "based on a the preamp of a famous amplifier". These are paired with IRs (basically a digital capture of an amp speaker) to make the guitar sound like a guitar. Without these it's gonna sound like sterile ass.

What does this even mean? Duncan's don’t have some uniform sound, they can be wildly different

>>127250715
go find some IRs for NAM and try some out

Made this in 25 minutes, is it worth working on.
https://vocaroo.com/1jHffFOErymT

What is it that these supply that Steinbergers didn't in the 80s? I think I read somewhere that Steins had adjustable bridges where you could quickly detune the entire instrument with one click. Pretty neat, but why did they fail, and why, now, the comeback?

Newfag, consider one of these + power supply. What I like is that it works right out the box, and then you can experiment with plugins/ir loading/vsts when you’re ready. You also don’t have to be tied to your laptop every time you wanna play.
Just don't fall for the pedal meme and buy more than you need.

>>127250748
steinbergers don't have a great body shape for playing while sitting down which most people who buy these headless do, plus their electronics are a lot more elaborated than steins which are really old designs

*boomer bends furiously*

I do all of my own setups and tech work and all that stuff, I can do basically anything but repairs and refinishes, how feasible is it to do it locally for money? I live in a small town without anybody who does any guitar work and the nearest who does is one guy about an hour away or another about an hour and a half away in the opposite direction. It’d just be something making money on the side, I wouldn’t be quitting my job or expecting a career out of it or anything, just something to make some extra cash. Do you think something like that is even worthwhile?

No, it's absolutely not "sped" up

I recorded another jam right after it on top of some 80s rock shred YouTube track and it has several runs with the same speed as that vocaroo:

https://vocaroo.com/178uds3aM5F6

You think I would manually speed up the fast parts and and then play normally the rest? These are recorded live on the fly, no mixing or anything. Just press YouTube on, Reaper playback and open Audacity "Record"

>>127251083
You need to educate yourself. Tony Ionni wasn't even Mexican.

I've posted in these generals for years I think even faster vocaroos. Here is BOSS MZ-2 demonstration

The quickest I've clocked Michael Angelo Batio's picking is about 16.5 ish notes per second in recorded songs, this effect happens when you pick the string around and over 20 times a second or more. A sonic boom is a sound associated with shock waves created when an object travels through the air faster than the speed of sound, this is a similar demonstration, this is also true in the realm of guitar playing speed picking

https://vocaroo.com/1kxM8Bel3QwG

The feedback effect can be heard at around 1:22 first time, but I could not get past 16.5 on a first try, however at 1:53 mark the "speed of light" feedback was achieved properly and picking speed was probably more than 20 times per second. This is the closest thing human shredders can achieve in terms of emulating sonic boom and other extremely powerful physics phenomena when extreme amounts of sound energy are created either through explosions or extremely powerful engines breaking the sound barrier.

This is not some sped up nonsense - this is straight up Physics that MAB termed PPS (Potential Picking Speed). Shredding is closest thing to Rocket Science in the realm of instruments and guitar theory

>>127251097
just because you're retarded, doesn't mean everyone else is.
It's obvious to anyone that knows guitar that this: https://vocaroo.com/13vxT5UEL9l3
Is sped up. The slurs and vibrato are unnatural - not just a little bit, it's very obvious.
The normal speed would sound better, I promise. I get you want to sound like Yngwie, but it takes time.

>>127251896
the stuff on the top of his head is absolutely his real hair. I can believe that the longer hair is extensions though.

Something happened man.
I wanted to try some 7th chords (is that the same as add7?) to test and practice my understanding of scales and chords.
So I played:
Cmaj7 (C, G, B, E)
Fmaj7 (F, C, E, A)
Emin7 (E, B, D, G)
G7 (G, D, F, B)

I crossed past the octave to "SoLo' and when I pressed the A note somrthing interesting happened. The A note went with all the chords I played. Then I figured if I played a mixture of A lydian and A minor pentatonic, the solo sounded as if it belonged there.

Can anybody explain this to me?

>>127251744

>>127252325
>is that the same as add7?
you never really call a chord "add7". "add" denotes an atypical chord extension (i.e. one not derived from stacking thirds). major/minor/dominant 7ths are by far the most extensions in music, because a) they're just the next third after the 5th, and b) they perform clear functional work as well as providing colour.

>The A note went with all the chords I played.

Yeah, it's called a pedal point. It's a pretty standard technique. It's useful for modal mixture in parallel keys, like your lydian/minor pent example.

https://voca.ro/14fH35keVMVU

went kind of insane over someone I hooked up with and wrote a little acoustic thing in 11/8+12/8 the morning after

>>127252836
Arigato sensei. You rock.

But why did the A work in my example?

>>127252750
nice

>>127252879
because it's a note in the major scale or pentatonic in all those chords. C (6th) F (3rd) E (4th) G (2nd)

>>127252929
It was long overdue saving this reaction gif

Ain't music a bitch?

>>127252879
>Cmaj7 (C, G, B, E)
A is the 6th.
>Fmaj7 (F, C, E, A)
A is the major 3rd.
>Emin7 (E, B, D, G)
A is the 11th.
>G7 (G, D, F, B)
A is the 9th.

A works easily here because the note fits naturally, in different ways, with all four chords. But you can use pedal points for dissonance as well; basically anything can "work" if done right. This anon uses unresolved, non-diatonic tensions throughout an entire song >>127252852 and it works fine because he commits to it.

Looks like one of their acoustics? They barely have anything to do those. It's literally shovelware. They outsource a bunch of basic junk to China.
They have some design blueprints, but it's usually not that involved. Only if it's USA or Mexico. And the only acoustics they make in Mexico and US now are those acoustasonic things. They used to have a primo Custom Shop, which was just the Guild guys. But they sold off Guild.

maybe read a book so you can accurately articulate your meager thoughts so you won't confuse intelligent people in the future

>>127254274
I know of Zhengan and Cortek (Cortek is technically South Korean, but they produce all of their trash in China and Indonesia). Other companies use them to outsource on their cheaper models. Some companies were wise enough to buy up their own factories. Like PRS SE's are made in a PRS factory in India.
You can do this yourself if you have a little capital. That's what Chapman did... but tried to larp like they were primo.

whats with all people fellating chibsons?

Go fuck yourself, retard. lol. You're just making a big deal out of nothing at this point. It's not even a big mystery that the vast amount of this garbage comes from these places.

>>127254309
the good thing about china is they can't be prosecuted for patent theft so they build the same guitar as a martin/gibson for 60% the price, arguably with better wood and appointments. they've even copied taylors now too

>>127254312
Because consoomers (bargain hunters) are just as the bad as the kikes on the top who enable all of this cheap garbage and ruin domestic manfuacturing in the West. They all need to be lined up and shot.

great thread btw

Tone in electric guitars is fake and gay. Supreme tone can only be achieved in an acoustic.

His drunken pirate licks have more originality than anything else in mainstream rock post 1980. Van Leeuwen is up there with him too. For as appreciated as QOTSA are, as a guitar duo they’re still underrated.

why does not a SINGLE FUCKING YOUTUBE VIDEO ON GUITAR MAINTENANCE TELL YOU THAT?

>>127255189

A pack of microfiber cloths is like $4. Get a pack of those and if you like to keep your pickups/pickguard dust free, get a can of duster or use an air compressor if you have one. Any time I change strings which is about once a year per guitar, I use it as an opportunity to deep clean that guitar.

>>127256197
gg bro. (anchoring your palm on the bridge of an acoustic was dumb as hell even for a beginner though)

>>127256296
that's true. it was more for the bottom string and then i moved to anchoring the flesh of my thumb area on the strings as i moved down. it felt natural and muted the strings well; i experimented with placing it where it affected the sound the least but still. glad floating is working for me at the moment

>>127252343
its what i do

I'm still a beginner but I've started to branch off from Justin Guitar even though I haven't watched much of him, is this okay?

>>127254213
alternate picking, thats why you can clearly hear the onset of each note. thanks anon

>>127251604
Fuck that sounds good, how long until I can do this

>>127256089
New string sound sucks, I don’t use a pick 95% of the time so I rarely if ever break strings. After about a year it’s diminishing returns but anything after a few days of rigorous playing up to a year is the sweet spot.

>>127256622
I'm going back to it of course since it's structured, but I'm learning other stuff besides that

idk how anyone can play with longnails

>>127256573
I've jumped ahead to barre chords and power chords but I'm only on grade 2 of Justin

is it a bad technique to strum in a circular pattern on one string in order to strum quickly? i find it easier than just strumming up and down

>...you really think someone would do that? just sit on the internet and talk to himself all day?

>>127257122
bro has built in reverb chorus and delay

it's a sobering realization learning you've been holding the pick wrong

>>127257084
blud is FUMING

all i had to do was roll my index finger so that the side of it, not the face of it, was pressed against the pick and all of a sudden i gain so much control

Getting back into playing, learned major and minor chords, some scales, palm muting as a kid. People recommend the JustinGuitar courses but I find him very dry. Are there any alternatives you guys would recommend?

got some pedals coming in the mail. can i plug overdrive and delay inline into an audio interface?

>>127256956
I’m lost as to what you’re getting at?

>>127257547
haha wow that's crazy! so will that be cash or card?

My fav Rhett video was the "Don't Do This" one with the tech saying not to wrap/tie the string on to the post because it's slow to remove them and he could make more money if his customers didn't do it.

Doesn't sound like Yngwie at all the end is completely wrong

>>127251604
What I don't get is why you are trying to impress 2 schizos and a retard with obvious fake playing. It just doesn't add up.

>>127257795
nvm read the rest of the thread, I know who this is and exactly why now. Gross.

>>127257795
i assume that was rhetorical. we know why

Never trust a man who doesn't own a hat, pocketknife, and watch.

why is is that when i clean the fretboard of my brand new guitar with a damp cloth I'm getting some black substance on my cloth?

>>127257846
can't trust me then cause i own none of those

>>127257849
Fretboard dye.

A little tip, if your strings are dirty but not quite ready for a change, grab an old receipt, fold the glossy side inward and trap the string in the fold, rub up and down, it will shine your string like new.

>>127257849
unfinished rosewood has pores that absorb shit and leech it back out

>>127257888
so you're telling me my dark fretboard isn't actually dark and i'm just rubbing off the dye and it'll look gay and retarded?

>>127257909
yeah, shoulda got a maple board big dawg

>>127257900
You're not even supposed to touch receipts because they're laden with BPA.

it happened a/gg/ain bros...

Once a year is pretty fucking savage. Think of how much sweat, oil, dead skin, rust, and cum remnants have built up on those strings in a year.
