I don't really get the CAGED system. As in what it is or how it helps navigate the fretboard.
Is it worth learning, or are there better/alternative methods to achieve the same or more.
Does it have disadvantages?

>>127297414
learn this

>>127297338
cutie

>>127297414
I can do it in one sentence:
if you learn the C, A, G, E and D shapes of each chord type (maj/minor/dim/7th/aug etc) you have movable chords you can play anywhere on the neck without learning any other shapes. that's it.
now go watch scotty's vids in the OP, he teaches it without even mentioning the word CAGED once.

Just wondering if you people are fixed in one genre or are guitar gods who can play anything you want.

>>127297305
i think johnnys actually still got his hair
his problem is dying it shoe-polish black constantly, so it looks fake af regardless

I don't want to make boring heavy music or music with screaming in it
I wanna make pretty stuff like dream pop or early Coldplay
Why can't I find anyone willing to do that?
Coldplay's the biggest band in the world ffs

>>127297558
technicality is a false god
or at least one im wholly uninterested in following or even acknowledging the existence of. play it weird or dont play it all.
theres no room for perfection in the age of procgen music. youre just gonna get replaced by some 64bit faggot that doesnt even exist

ear training is the deity that matters. and if you can read chord charts/lead sheets on the fly, even better.
at that point you should be able to convincingly fake it on whatever genre, so long as it doesnt require 32nd-note triplet arpeggio retardation or whatever

>>127297558
There are only 3 ways to actually play guitar
>classical
>rock/metal
>jazz/country
If you're wondering why Jazz and Country are paired you're already lost

>>127297414
With CAGED (or EDCAG) you gain a better understanding of the fretboard as a series of intervals and repeating series of notes.
Take an A chord, barre it, and start the barre on the second fret... you now have a B chord, up another and that's C

It may seem redundant knowing how to play the same chord in different places, but the change in pitch or making it easier to work with other cage'd chords or power chords makes it better

>>127297488
>People are watching the scotty lessons
I'm so happy I forced it into the OP

>>127297615
Invalid grouping. Country pickers bend, jazzers don't.

>>127297615
twinkle-star guitar is another discipline. all those midwest fags shredded, just not in the traditional sense of the word

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFGiLkDfyu8
its, at least, extremely difficult to play like that and have it sound right

you could argue post-punkers have several dozen """disciplines""" that fall underneath that broader post-punk umbrella too. none of which have terribly much in common with any of the genres you listed, other than occasionally using power chords
sure, a lot of these """disciplines""" boil down to "strangling your guitar". but id still maintain that thats actually a good idea

>>127297684
the fusion guys do tho sometimes
mclaughlin, alone, has several types of bends ive basically only seen him do

>>127297722

Yes, true, but they are fusing two different styles.

any huehues here?
whats the deal with the guys who played guitar in novos baianos?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVyoE5eSkEg
did they ever do anything else worth checking out?
really fucking spectacular lead guitarist
not to diminish the singer guy who was clearly excellent at rhythm guitar himself. but man that lead dude has some excellent parts

>>127297614
>youre just gonna get replaced by some 64bit faggot that doesnt even exist
TRUKE

>>127297951
maybe
but it should be more like a cautionary tale than demoralization. just dont put all your eggs in the shredder basket. that ship sailed in like 1991

the thing AI cant do is try anything new
its stuck with the colors that its been fed, and thats really all the colors it has to work with. and where humans can think abstractly about things such as texture, dynamics, arrangement, etc, all LLMs really do is find the mean/avg of everything and stick around that.
as a result: wooden hollow music thats oftentimes hardly even passable for advert jingles

but if youre JUST a shredder? well thats something the computer can DEFINITELY do better than you already, nvm later. and worse, its not even bound by the physical limitations of the guitar at all

>>127297338

>its not quick or flashy but it gets the job done
>the armor on this amp is extensive

and its hardly even a joke
i remember one time i dropped it and it rolled down two flights of stairs. worked fine and i gigged on it for about 3mos, daily, until one show it set on fire
then i got another one

>>127298218
Peavy logo is just so ugly. Not the 80s anymore guys.

>>127298140
Flamenco is just classical

>>127298134
personally?
i just dont like listening to it
of all the technical styles of guitar, its by far the style id listen to the least. gimme mclaughlin over any of the shredmetal guys any day. he might even actually be faster too. idk tho, i never counted.
more abstractly, one of my fav parts of any music is that feeling that its just about to maybe fall apart. too much focus on tech eradicates that. it just gets practiced out until it sounds effortless (which, tbf, IS the goal. i just disagree on it)

but more important, i think its a bad career move. theres very little call for that stuff nowadays unless your end goal is tiktok/youtube shorts covers. which is a bleak goal, but i suppose its someones.
the best career advice i could give any guitarist ever is quit guitar and play bass (and/or lrn2sing harmonies). youll literally never run out of gigs, even if youre only okay at it
but no one wants to fucking do that

tl;dr
just diversify
youll see. liquid shredders are a dime a dozen at any music school ever. and a LOT of them struggle to get gigs

>>127298184
lol
thats kinda that genre as a whole
everyone just wanted to rip off capn. but not everyones a 15yo kid whos voice is in the middle of changing, so you get that emo shit to compensate
try the next 2
the joggers had some super guitarists, and definitely had less abrasive vox

i remember i found them because i wondered if anyone had ever tried to unironically cover a yes song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKjzP1WhmBk
needless to say, i was pretty impressed with how well they did it. as good as any time ive ever heard yes play it live

I am confused. The guitar luthier at the guitar shop I left my telecaster (with the bigsby vibrato system) at said he doesn't understand why I brought it in because it's already set up and plays fine. However, it had not been set up when I got it. When I played it when I got it in, the frets buzzed and seemed to be an issue with the neck being too straight. Then he told me to come in and he wanted to show me how to do it. I'll be going tomorrow.

>>127298280
I've become so used to it I haven't really looked at it in years but you're right. It's godawful and needs a refresh

it's the same crap a little bigger

>>127298354
i presume you changed the strings after you got it?
if you went up a gauge from whatever it was when you got it, itll pull on the neck more. so over the next day or so itll have slightly higher action than it did

idk, pretty good 80s style shred/lead tone

>>127297414
I'll type this out but I'm sure it'll get tl;dr'd.

CAGED is just the named of the 5 chord shapes you can move around the fretboard, C A G E and D, Moving those shapes into different positions gives you different chords, and eventually you start knowing multiple positions for chords all over the neck.
If you learn chord positions, you'll learn note positions once you connect CAGED to other knowledge such as chord theory and the major/minor scale. People think CAGED is a shortcut around theory and it's not, it's just a fretboard visualization technique.
Lastly, if the chord shapes look confusing to you ("You say it's a C shape but that doesn't look like a C shape at all!") it's because when you move the shape out of the Open Position you have to put a barre behind it.
That may seem obvious but it trips up more people than you'd believe.

>>127298469
Do they even make amps anymore? Their 80s stuff looks so comfy.

>>127298511
IDK they remind me of 80s early 90s Randalls

>>127297684
you can get rid of jazz because bluegrass is harder than jazz

Real niggas play that Boogie. Real niggas got that plexi.

>>127298381
i hope they dont
peavey isnt supposed to boutique
its supposed to be some bar gig gutter shit
if they put fancy marshall cursive writing on it, i wont be able to grab them used for like 150 bucks anymore

also
it depends what era of bandit
the 80s ones are actually really solid. but by now, usually battered af, if not totally ded. the later 90s/00s red line ones, again pretty fucking good. totally loud enough for any bar gig ever, even if your amps arent micd
the newer ones? without the red line? meh. just dont pay more than like 200 for it, even if its new

>>127298134
he thinks he's being counter but in actuality he's a stereotype
look at that wallotext just to tell you why he's too cool for a genre
genres are only good for organizing things in a record store.
all technique is a tool. use a tool how you see fit.

>>127298467
No, I left stock strings because I didn't want to risk him putting on new strings during set up and any strings I put on to be wasted. Some put new strings on before they set up. I think I even requested this.

The only thing I did was adjust a pick up where the screw wasn't right. I didn't even fuck with the saddles or bridge cause I wasn't sure if the strings were supposed to clear the back part of the bridge or not because half of them were clearing it (EAD) and the other half weren't (GBE).

also, none of the pickups have been set up properly either.

>>127298640
fuck, I posted the wrong photo

>>127298640
I'd splurge for this with an JM trem instead of a bigsby.

>>127298620
>muh wall of text
if music isnt worth srs disgussion, wtf is?

you sound butthurt dude
i just wanted to give him my honest answer since he actually asked me so nicely.
i dont hate you guys. i just hate the music. nothin personnel. im certainly not going to stop you from making it if thats what youre set on doing, and i have no illusion that im talking anyone out of it with some fucking 4chan schizopost

but i stand by that last part
ive known so many metalheads who are actual godtier facemelting shredders, and many rarely have gigs. that kind of playing is a strong color, and most bands arent looking for that color rn. so if you want gigs, you should learn other styles as well. which shouldnt even be that hard or even that big of an ask if your main draw towards guitar is learning new tech.

>>127298778
just learn to shred. honestly those gigs idk... maybe take a break from them and just watch the Metal Method series for few years, then come back to playing those troubador songs

>>127298886
kill yourself

>>127298886
and its not like its a useless skill
youd def be high in call for guitar lessons. thats like half of them is kids who just bought a squier and wanna shred
in fact thats probably where i developed my hatred for it lol
but i digress

and if you can find a band that actually wants that facemelting shit: do it. im just saying ime playing gigs for a bunch of random bands, theres always more shredders than there are open guit positions
just dont go all-in on shred and youll be fine

>>127298907
relax

How many of you faggots actually played today?

>>127298992
>he doesnt do legato finger exercises while shitposting with one hand
do /mu/tants rly?

>>127298992
i'm practicing. i got super ripped yesterday and it made my playing worse so now im trying to recover from the blow to my subconscious confidence

>>127298992
I'm trying to learn how to shred but I can't get my fingers to fret notes in perfect phase with my picking for fucks sake

>>127299015
i rememeber one time i got so stoned, all i could do was keep hitting a maj7th interval over and over again
what a pretty interval that one is

>>127298992
I went for a walk before it starts to rain. Got some fresh air and some sun. I practice better in the evening.

>>127299030
play to a metronome or a drum beat if you aren't already. it gets the entire body in synch. you're holding yourself back if you don't

>>127299060
Based

>>127299030
>get metronome
>set to your upper limit
>practice phrase at half-speed
>without stopping, immediately go from half-speed to full-speed, in time with the metronome
idk why it works
probably some muscle-memory shenanigans
if you start bumbling it up, immediately go back to half-speed until youve found your feet/fingers again, then go back to full-speed when youre ready.
youll find youll get a few more BPMs than you normally would by just grinding the metronome mindlessly

You won't own any amps, and you'll be happy.

>>127299098
based. i play purely acoustic. every instrument sounds better when acoustic, especially bass

>>127299098
EQ + NAM is enough for me

>>127299132

>>127299072
>>127299096

>>127299132
slow music down and use your ear. its better for your musicianship in the long run, tabs are usually wrong

>>127299202
>Lole
i wasnt kidding

>>127299107
you play upright?
how do you manage your plucking hands calluses?
when i used to have to go back and forth between them a lot, i always found that my picking hand pointer finger would end up so callused that id have trouble actually holding onto the pick. i simply couldnt feel whether i was holding onto it or not anymore

>>127299165
>Epiphone acoustics?
>2K?
wew
prolly not lol

>>127299202
>>127299208
this is nearly impossible for metal

The intro rhythm in the first audio of the link is a single coil on bridge position right?

https://www.alterampworks.com/tonex/p/ac20dlx

>>127299237
>this is nearly impossible for metal
It is not. even 16th notes can be slowed down to be clearly audible. stop making excuses.

>>127299233
>wew
Yeah, I know. They are about the same price as Eastman's upper ranges. I've not played a Chinese Epiphone acoustic, so don't know how they fare.

>>127299132
watch the guitarist play live and watch his fingers

>>127299237
try looking for live vids
if you can get a good look where/what shapes theyre around, it can be extremely helpful

>>127299262
shit
beat me to it

>>127299261
yea thats fucked
theres no way its worth that
its just an acoustic ffs

>>127299233
i'd recommend a better pick unironically. i played electric bass for 2 years then got back into learning guitar where im at now. my uncle in laws family were bluegrass players and i fill in for their upright bass. my aunt usually plays it and it took a while to get used to the giant scale length. i don't know what it is but i never got callouses on my bass plucking fingers. i'm going to keep shilling blue chip picks because they really changed the way i hold the pick; i can play super relaxed now. try to find a small shop that carries them and try one out. they have some supernatural level of grip despite having zero texture and they're like glass across the strings

>>127299237
they either chug the same note or do scale runs. if anything it's even easier for metal since it's predictable

>>127298992
I play daily
I'm shit
Been shit for 18 years
Fuck you

speaking of weird shit you cant figure out by yourself
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqLoqxYiMMw
specifically the parts from 1:30 on
i can figure out the leads well enough. but i cant get the rhythm parts to sound right. he seemingly slides in extremely strange spots and i just cant understand wtfs even happening. like i can get the notes, but the way hes playing it is just alien af

>>127299388
No need for the hostility. Who cares if you're good nigga. If you played 18 years that means you enjoy it and that's all that matters.

>>127299400
this has to be fingerpicking

>>127299388
i doubt youre ACTUALLY shit. just because you cant do everything doesnt mean you suck.

VOX>>>>>

just found these in an old gig bag i had

What was the best tip or piece of info that you learned from /gg/ in your time here?

>>127299501
ignoring poorfags

>>127299441
it is
its just rly fucking weird afro-fingerpicking
and they all do it differently. that whole sungura genre, and the chimurenga music before it is just off the walls from a western musical standpoint. the point was they were trying to play guitar like the mbira (zims thumb harp). cool idea, but holy fuck is it hard to understand if youre not zimbabwean
the shona ppl may have not been able to farm so gud, but they sure knew how tf polyrhythms worked. and in a way that im not entirely convinced weve even figured out yet, even with all the conservatory nerds in the world

if that last ones not hard enough for ya
try this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVAAyvIa6ns
again, i got the leads. cant understand what rhythmbro is doing at all

>>127299501
probably the guy a few threads ago that explained compressors. other than that my questions typically go unanswered or there is very little knowledge to be gained here. i try to answer all the questions about setups and repairs

>>127299501
That blackbluesanon spends his government gibs on gear

>>127299501
true satisfaction comes from not improving at guitar, but just from buying more gear

>>127299500
receipt says theyre from 2009. idk if i even wanna use them now.

>>127299604
Cum on them and see if there's a chemical reaction

>>127299604
they're probably fine if they're in a sealed bag

>>127299604
iirc dadarrio strings come in the little paper sleeves. so that shit is toast. unless you live in the fucking desert

pro tip: cut out the inlay markers of your guitar and eat them to replenish stamina

>>127299626
>>127299628
yeah they are in a bag, they are just in the carboard packaging without any bag or sleeves lol

>>127299682
they aren't* in a bag

>>127299400
I'm no use for this kinda stuff but you might want to check out this course. I've stumbled upon it a few months ago and when listening to the song you posted I immediately recognized the sound. It could be a good jumping off point for your study. https://truefire.com/guitar-lessons/west-african-guidebook/c1187

>>127299682
rip. might still be fine but that's a long time for corrosion to make its way to the core

Lmao at all the poorfags trying to talk anon into using 15 year old strings

>>127299742
they look mint desu

>>127299742
i hate seeing waste no matter how much money i have

>>127299682
yea i seem to remember dadarrio had some mindbogglingly stupid packaging
i think thats why i stopped using them actually. i was always getting stale strings. i remember they had decent flatwounds when i used to use those. but again, fuck off selling me rusty ass strings. and no one buys flatwounds so they were almost always fucked from sitting there for a decade

>>127299703
thats west africa tho
its soukous i think is the style
its close, but the zim stuff in particular has thus far eluded me
theres a couple lessons online ive found, and im numb to the heavy afro-accent, but man are 99% of those lessons scuffed af on the audio
which, fair enough, if youre from fucking zimbabwe lol

What's stopping you from doing it right now? Surely in all those years you've learned to strum some cowboy chords and pick a melody.

>>127299237
I've learned tech death metal albums by ear. Extremely high tempo stuff that sounds very wrong when slowed down. It's possible. Lots of trial and error though, but satisfying

>>127300188
now THAT i can get behind
i got a squier jazzmaster from indonesia. swapped out the bridge pickup for a goldfoil
solid
literally a third of the price of the cali fender jazzmasters, and about half as much as the mexi fender ones

and btw, has anyone noticed how garbage the cali plant has been lately?
maybe i just had bad luck, but the cali ones were even worse than the mexi ones

>>127300326
this except I wanna pump and dump her so she makes a song about me

JAV girls are hotter and usually bigger tits. That's how you know chinkshills are faggots.

>>127300366
how do they grow their breasts without implants? i need to know so i can do this to my gf without her noticing

>>127300339
yes
I had a cali made tele where they forgot to solder the neck pickup in
just loose wires

>>127300390
Ancient geisha secret.

>>127300339
the acoustisonic bridge pickups are always loose. maybe you can get a deal on one that has "buzzing" issues. personally i wouldn't own one

>>127300391
ok cool so it wasnt just me
cuz i literally sat there for several hrs just cycling through jazzmasters, as i had trouble believing my ears that the indonesian squier was superior to the cali fender

>they forgot to solder the neck pickup in
wtfs even going on over there?
how tf do you ship something like that?

I've had good luck with MIA. but the MIA was an Ultra and American Original (which is basically an AV model). So it's possible a lot more effort into those.

>>127300474
they put a lot more effort*

are there any gig bags with neck support?

>>127300441
fender's qc is just ass

>>127300414
i mean i swapped mine out with a goldfoil
a custom potted goldfoil, but still. buzzing wasnt too big a concern lol
they just played like shit, the pickups were forgettable af, and they were thrice the price of the alternative. the intent was to get myself a good reliable fender for once, to gig on. but it just wasnt in the cards, i guess

oh well. im glad i went the cheap-o + goldfoil route. sounds so much fucking meaner than any jazzmaster ever.
you just NEED compression, which i already use anyways, so no biggie

>>127300474
>>127300516
i guess they must just have some total retards for the less boutique stuff. who knows?

>>127300492
There are various bags that are kind of like "hard" foam bags. There's stiffer bracing in the neck area. But I wouldn't expect them to take a beating. It's still a gig bag. Stuff like picrel.

>>127300492
i would recommend an access stage 3 series bag. they are semi-hard shell got bags and they have longer neck support blocks; they also make supports and pads to use in other gig bags. if you want something softer and cheaper, gator bags are ok and come with a neck block. eastman and taylor bags i know for sure come with neck blocks even their cheaper bags
https://www.accessbagsandcases.com/product-category/access-bags/stage-three-bags

>>127300492
if youre planning on gigging a lot, just get a real hard case. its basically a requirement. theres rly no other way. even WITH the hard case, everythings gonna get fucked anyways, given enough gigs

My Revstar > your guitar

>>127300597
i just wanna put it in something to prevent it from getting dust

>>127300663
then regular gig bags fine, and i wouldnt worry about the neck (just dont put anything on top of it)
but if you ever wanna travel with it, or ship it somewhere or whatever, point stands. even just getting knocked around a bit in the back of the van, gig bags provide basically no protection whatsoever

>>127300040
Looks sweet, surf green is a great choice bro.

>>127300862
>take regular nut
>rub a pencil on it until it and the strings are both covered in graphite dust
heres ur graphtech bro

>>127301131
wait that works?

Stanggang increases

>>127301158
Yea. You can also use cum if you want to save money.

>>127301158
yes cause the gray pencil lead is pure graphite

>>127301158
i mean, if your nut is sticking and you use tremolo/bend a lot or have rly heavy strings, or change tunings or whatever, itll prolly help
its hard to imagine its as good as an actual nut made specifically for that. but i mean, graphite dust is definitely more slippery than metal on plastic. you just have to reapply it

id be lying if i told you id never done it, but id also be lying if i told you i know for certain that it makes an actual difference or not. but the logic is there.
it could just be some guitar old wives tale, but i always just do it habitually. do it when you change strings too. its most important it gets on the parts of the string that are in the nut
just be prepared to get made fun of as a poorfag or whatever on here, because it doesnt go away. get a darker nut i guess if you give a shit lol

>>127301299
it legitimately works for obvious reasons but it won't fix a clearance issue

>thought I ordered a Mooer compressor pedal
>ordered some other yellow acoustic pedal instead

>>127301352
>it legitimately works for obvious reasons
i figured. i learned it from my fellow bards after all, whom i all trust implicitly. never ran the numbers tho
>is my nut sticking?
>no
>good
not very compelling data
i just rub pencil on geetar cuz slippysauce = gud
but i also dont know if ive ever used a graphite nut or if theyre just a meme. and maybe they arent, for ppl who do like crazy divebomb shit. idk.

>it won't fix a clearance issue
well of course
but thats what car keys are for lol

>but graphite nut
>throw it into a blender to turn it into graphite dust to lubricate my stock plastic nut

>>127301402
Adrian, get in the flaaaaaaaaask

>>127301516
>car keys
shew lol. abs plastic nuts are so ass that they'll wear away from tuning up the strings. the graph tech tusq nuts are good but best of all they are consistent. it is possible to get very porous or brittle bone that won't make a good nut or saddle. i dont use lube because i have a set of diamond nut files. i oversize, index the valley slightly with a smaller file and then polish the slot. i could still probably gain something from using lube but i just never think to do it. big problem with 3+3 headstocks is the angle of the D and G strings coming out of the back side of the nut. they are NEVER cut large enough from the factory

>>127302378
That’s a Mustang bridge, there are screws in the post holes to the left and right of the saddles and you adjust height of the overall bridge with those screws. You can’t adjust individual saddle height, they’re supposed to match the radius of the fretboard and then you tweak the entire saddle’s height and angle

>>127302378
nta but they have hex screws in each post. you can only adjust each side of the bridge. no individual saddle height adjustment.

Is Squier refreshing the classic vibe line? Isn't the new line only 3 years old, or did fender realize the indonesians that were making superior guitars in terms of build quality and needed to gimp them to make way for the players and standards.

>>127303035
I don't fuckin know, man

Tone knob rolled back. No not that far back.

>>127303158
Did you roll the foreskin back too?

i keep fucking hitting my guitar's volume knob when strumming

>>127303380
tele?

>>127303387
no an ibanez

>>127303380
stop being a spaz

>>127303392
they literally put the volume knob right under the strings

>>127303402
yes, and?
why are you strumming where there arent any strings
turn the volume up if you need it louder

the fuck is the point of a volume knob anyways? you always want it to be maxed so you get 100% output.

>>127303426
don't copy me

>>127303422
because it's fun okay???

>>127303426
>you always want it to be maxed so you get 100% output.
Except for when you dont want it maxed?

>>127303627
when do you not want it maxed?

Ever feel like selling all your gear except just the sentimental stuff?

>>127303858
Nah

>>127303858
i frequently sell gear as i want to just become really comfortable with a single instrument but i think ive finally settled on the one. i do have a cheap shitplank back up just in case this one ever has to go in for repairs

>>127303422
also it doesn't matter when my hand is, whenever i'm picking the last string my hand is rubbing against the volume knob

>>127303402
This is even further away than a normal Strat knob is. What are you gonna do if you can't play a Strat?

>>127303998
shit the fuck up cunt ass bastard bitch i'll will hurt you damn it

Bros give me tips on how to improve my audio recordings, I just started working with a DAW (Reaper). Excuse the sloppy playing at times, I just wanted to get audio as quickly to get some tracks to mix so it's all first takes.

https://voca.ro/1moMftatHob9

It's all just DI straight from my Helix into the audio interface with no tweaking apart from maybe some eqs. Also no plugins, it's all effects from the Helix and the adjacent (cheap) marshall head.

carpal tunnel speedrunners up in this bitch

are higher strings supposed to be quieter when you strum them real fast?

>more vocas
alright suicidal thought are starting up again, gotta leave

Please help, is this a misprint?
How am I supposed to get this done?
I can do it on higher frets with some acrobatics but on the first it seems the headstock is in the way and my little finger is too short.
Is it over for me?

If I like to make sad/emotional or more reverbie/ambient music, would I be better off with humbuckers?
I’m sure I want a Strat, but I have been looking at SSS Strats.
>pic not rel but I do love instant coffee.

Out of curiosity- I’ve got a 2001 RG570.
It’s got little chips on here and there. Some fret buzz on the 1st fret or 2 I can’t seem to get rid of. That’s the big thing.
How much should I be asking for on marketplace?

>>127304396
lol that's fucked. chord sounds like shit btw. i was able to play it with index on E and middle finger barring the rest

>>127304478
bout tree fiddy

Having trouble practicing keeping time
Not with strumming on the beat but when it comes to quarter notes and eights

>>127304396
Press down the root with your middle finger and barre the rest of the strings with your ring finger and bend that finger at the knuckle.
>>127304489
Sounds amazing. This general keeps getting worse you losers are literally in the process of getting mogged by crusty blues and jazz boomers. This is a beginner chord.

>>127304503
start with an open string and then work your way up to chromatic notes

>>127304529
>sounds amazing
yeah nah there are far better voicings

>>127304478
1000?
i saw one on reverb that was basically unuseable being sold for like 800

>>127304557
Based?? They must’ve gone up in price. I bought it back in 2019.

That’s actually insane, bro. I wonder why they’ve suddenly gone up.
Mine a MIJ, and it’s got dimarzio pickups. dimarzio air zone, dimarzio super distortion, and a dimarzio single coil.
Rootbeer metallic color.

>>127297606
That should be easy to find, a lot of sellouts out there

>>127304396
Just cheat and bar it 131111, or use your thumb over the fretboard on the F and mute the A string with your thumb and bar the Eb Ab and C with your index finger while muting the E string, or play the Eb Ab and C like a normal A chord with your first three fingers while muting the E string with your ring finger and hit the F with your thumb wrapped over the fretboard while again muting the A with your thumb. I love playing with jazz chord snobs but playing the chords like a Neanderthal with my thumb over the board, it makes them look down their noses lmao

>>127304655
>hell yeah wrong notes are cool in jazz! we let the music speak for itself

I just thought about the things I wrote here >>127304529 and want to sincerely apologize to both of you. I didn't like your attitude and unfairly lashed out.

the only important quality of a guitar is whether or not it makes you wanna play it

>>127299500
Put them up on ebay or reverb, everyone knows tones were better back then.

>>127304659
all good. i don't take anything here too seriously but it's appreciated it. good karma will come your way. it is pretty funny trying to finger the chord the way it is in the photo however

>>127300492
Aren't the straps on the backside enough? Why would you want a strap around your neck too?

>>127304590
Barring I can get it done yeah.
But I am mostly talking about the specific fingering given. Surely there must a reason for it unless it is an error.
After a bunch of trying I now managed to get it done like that but it feels awful.

>>127304726
i can almost get it with the 2nd finger taking the top string but no way in hell i can pull that off even on a 1.75" acoustic

>>127304396
i think im retarded, but the way im reading this, it's just your index finger on the first fret of the low E, your middle finger on the first fret of the D, ring finger 1st fret on G, and pinky first fret on B? why is that difficult?

>>127304726
just twist your wrist towards the headstock

>>127304757
i don't have pencil banana fingers

>>127304791
well if you can do it by barring then just do that
i cant do barre chords on an acoustic at all im too weak

How often do you use the Tone knob?

>>127305090
pretty often
sometimes you need a brighter, higher frequency tone, sometimes you need a warmer tone

>>127305090
Almost daily. Wouldn't dream of getting a guitar without some kind of tone control.

>>127305090
Never

gettin hungry?

>>127305090
leave it at 80-90% for bridge pickup so i don't need to kill off the highs on the amp. Its always there if you need it though

does a floyd's job with a drop in install and none of the drawbacks. and there's 10 other trem makers out there offering similar quality, maybe more.

Fender still way behind on the digital game. Their only saving grace is nobody else is doing Super-Sonic or Champ amp modeling (that I know of).

>>127305304
They were miles ahead in the digital modelling game. These were released like 20 years ago?

>>127305348
They sound good though

I just use Ableton

>>127305322
>>127305327
Captures just aren't the same as modeling. It'll do in a pinch though.
>>127305359
They do, but you can find the twin and deluxe modeled everywhere, and the bassman isn't hard to find either.

>>127305392
Do you use Kemper?

so are you just supposed to not play guitars with a matte finish?

>>127305477
Just boss and fender. Helix before that.

>>127305505
So you don't really know shitabout modelling, huh?

just talking shit here, saying NAM is shit etc. it's clear you don't know what sounds good/real

>>127305505
Forgot to add that I jumped to Helix from Tonex because the captures were a bit of a crapshoot. Some were great and others sounded like flat ass.

>>127305514
Woah I didn't say NAM was shit. It's probably the best free software guitar has ever gotten. But I've never heard a capture that sounded as good as what Helix can do.

>>127305520
Yea it's clear you don't know how to use TONEX/captures properly. You just want to load babby's first presets and think they will sound good without any editing. Any serious NAM/capture user would use something like EQ:in/Tone controls for captures like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEu8iCfaZzM

Maybe buy Line6 Pod next? Plenty of presets for babby like you

>>127305533
NAM+Daw will be more versatile than Helix can ever be. Gear has limits, DAW doesn't

>>127305514
fuck off dweeb, stop shilling your poorfag freemium software garbage.

NAM users are like squier owners, full of ideas with no cash or taste to speak of

>>127305548
>NAM+DAW
and your bank account + cash would make you not poor and able to afford premium tones.

NAM will forever be held back by the captures being made by random anons that don't know what they're doing. it's youtube thumbnail-core software. fun for an afternoon, then you go back to using the real stuff

jerking off for hours sifting through garbage tones when you could just have great sounds out of the box....

couldn't be me

>>127305540
>>127305548
I've used the LT and the Stomp, not those crappy pods. And they sounded great right out the box, better than the gear I have now honestly. But no limits isn’t always a good thing. I've tried captures and DAWs and they're chores to work with, as is the hunt for the next plugin that will "totally take your tone to the next level".

>>127305617
>
NAM will forever be held back by the captures being made by random anons that don't know what they're doing. it's youtube thumbnail-core software. fun for an afternoon, then you go back to using the real stuff

This is not the case when you can/understand multisampling, using tone/EQ before captures and input control.

The problem is that you think NAM sounds like dogshit because you don't know how to use it, you watch some tutorial using the built-in loader without sampling - there are plenty of tutorials how to make it sound good as Kemper, but it is learning curve - you just want to load presets in 0.2 seconds and if it sounds shit you stop playing it because you lack concentration. You are consumer who wants presets like "Petrucci Mesa Sound" by push of a button

NAM has fucking power amp captures you should/could blend inside DAW, but nobody here wants to go that deep end because "bwahh its hard its too much tweaking i want presets"

thats why you will never experience Kemper -like and even better realistic tones FOR FREE

>>127305548
you must be experienced with it anon, do you get the captures from the something-3000 site that's linked on the NAM page or are there other places to get actual nice tones? i noticed that seperate amps and IRs don't tend to play nice, usually if the capture comes along with an IR or two, those are the only ones that sound good

>>127305640
https://youtu.be/5hfYJsQAhl0?si=uapEkPqwTR10LbX2

I love post-ironic shill posts

>>127305645
Tone3000

Power amp captures blended with preamp captures. Multisampling. Phasing. Blending the raw and IR signals. It's a learning curve. YouTube tutorials are worthless shilling some amateurs loading some "OLA CHUG preset" of course it sounds like dogshit - there are actual tutorials and use quality captures like Emil Rohbe Plexi captures for NAM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xx5r1xIKHs

Anyone agrees they sound as good as Kemper

>ESL
ah, that checks out

>>127305617

>>127305663

hmmm the whammy bar would be a great guide for my hands to prevent them from hitting the volume knob

>>127304170
sounds good bro

>>127305617
Professionally crafted amp models are the sensible choice if you value your time more than money. If you don't have money but alot of time then VSTland may be more appealing.
And then there's giant fuckoff pedalboards, the worst of both worlds

>>127305678
maybe you're just picking too far back? i understand for palm mutes but your hand wouldn't be moving that far down. usually picking that far back is gonna be brighter than most folks like

>>127305694
even if i pick between the two humbuckers i still hit it

>>127305645
Here is for example Mesa power amp capture:
https://www.tone3000.com/tones/mesa-boogie-fifty-fifty-power-amp-1848

That you could try to use with Mesa Studio preamp capture:
https://www.tone3000.com/tones/mesa-boogie-studio-preamp-1991-31228
or Triaxis captures from Tone3000

The blending is really hard, but I'm talking about adding Early Reflections and their own Power Amp IRs to the Mesa Power Amp capture.

Here is a site that has tutorial and examples of using Power Amp IRs and blending them with preamp with audio examples:
https://overdriven.fr/overdriven/index.php/download/power-amp-irs/

But nobody wants to go through this, because they want to load 0.1 second Ola Chug presets in NAM and quit after 5 seconds

>>127305700
prove your method produces better tones than clicking a preset because I don't believe you.

>>127305707
NTA but even if it does, it's way too much work. I want to be ready to play, not ready fuck around with 5 different programs (or more).

don't let em fool you anons...

>>127305707
This is tone test I recorded like few years ago when NAM just came using the Mesa power amp sims and Mesa studio preamp

https://vocaroo.com/1dnecnAx4wFR

Just the raw tone on top of some YouTube backing track. It's clear it is very usable tone if done properly like double tracking, mixing, EQ and even back then I did not know abotu multisampling

read that overdriven.fr site for IR tutorials

>>127305753
this isn't better than a preset lol

>>127305753
>raw tones
please articulate what YOU mean by this because it's different than how other people use the words.

until you can blend in room mics, change mics, change mic positions, its just missing a bunch of features that even the cheap vst makers are implementing

Yeah whatever, SEND NAM into Torped Live captures, or AmpliTube cabs while disabling the amps if you want these mic position, room mics, IR blending whatever, the possibilities are endless

The problem here is that you claim

>NAM sounds like shit
It doesn't. You just don't know how to use it

>NAM is not good
It's as good as Kemper if you know what you're doing

>NAM is too confusing, I want it simple, I don't want to use DAW
