Im going to focus on learning some fundamentals like reading music. I've had the bass method book for a while never got into it. I had forgotten that I tried this book years ago when I bought my rbx170 but I never put effort in. I played one song then got a flashback, got depressed about wasting all that time, then I started playing again.

hi /gg/ it's me again. i know its easy to get distracted when you sit down to practice but just remember, if you can focus, even for a little while each day, you will start to see results sooner than you think. don't forget, its the journey, not the destination that makes the man. keep moving forward and become the guitarist you've always wanted to be.

Jeff Beck’s “Wired” and John Scofield’s “John Scofield Live” are close runner ups.

I've always been partial to picrel. there's a video version of the album on youtube i think. it's a typical 2 guitar, bass, drums, setup but with 2 electric violin players that double up on keys depending on the song. It's neat to hear how the songs are adapted from the album versions and the mix is really solid across the whole concert. the whole band and vai himself are at peak cheeziness but the performances are great. I get dream theater vibes when the violins and vai are playing unison solos in a few tracks. a fun listen and one i return to a few times a year

>>127312955
post in /gg/

if you're a fan of metal, a bit of neoclassical. two of the goofiest looking dudes in the game, keith merrow and jeff loomis. they only made one album together but it's a great collection of melodic shredding. merrow has great rhythm chops and loomis is an excellent all round lead player. there's a bit of yngwie, friedman, and others in the style, laid over the top of more modern, metal and the production is great. there's a couple of acoustic tracks to break things up but for the most part, its just heavy guitars and soaring solos

>>127312969
That sounds dreadful. Thanks for the warning.

>>127312955
it's never too late to abandon theory and play by ear

>>127312950
How do you personally upstrum? I can hit an upstrum like 75% of the time but the other 25% I usually only hit hte high E

>>127312991
the opposite of a downstrum? what are you asking here? are you lifting your hand an inch off the strings when your hand moves back up for the next downstrum? just.....don't do that

>>127312991
I just strum upwards the opposite of strumming downwards, I don’t know what you mean how you do upstrum

>>127312938
Ah, yes, the age-old question "How do y’all upstrum?" a query that, while seemingly straightforward on the surface, invites a deep and contemplative exploration into not only the mechanics of musical expression but also the nuanced interplay between hand, string, and intention. Now, one might be tempted to approach such a question with a terse, almost abrupt clarity something along the lines of “just strum upward with your pick or fingers” but to do so would be to neglect the rich tapestry of contextual and philosophical implications woven into the very fabric of the inquiry itself.
You see, upstrumming if we may call it that, and indeed we may is not merely a physical motion, not simply the act of dragging one's digits or a small triangle of plastic across a few tensioned wires in a reverse or opposing direction to the more oft-idealized downstrum. No, it is far more than that. It is, in a sense, a lifestyle choice. A reflection of one’s personal ethos, perhaps even an echo of rebellion against the gravitational tyranny that governs so much of our daily existence.
When one considers the upstrum, one must first ponder: what is the goal? Is it percussive punctuation in a rhythmic phrase? Is it a delicate whisper of harmony brushing the ear in a fleeting moment of sonic subtlety? Or is it merely habit a mechanical echo of the downstroke, that loyal companion to the beat? And then, too, we must consider the tools: are we speaking of the index finger flick, the thumb-led flicker, the pick-oriented arc, or some hybrid maneuver handed down through oral tradition at late-night jam sessions under dim porchlights?

>>127313077
Furthermore, regional practices vary. Cultural assumptions may influence the approach. Some upstrummers swear by wrist isolation; others allow the forearm a graceful glide. There are even those who believe the true upstrum is less about what you do than about what you don’t do don’t tense up, don’t overthink, don’t force it. Let it happen, like a breeze through tall grass, like a sigh, like the second half of a shrug.
And, of course, there are layers of social and emotional complexity. “How do y’all upstrum?” contains a collective call, a reaching out to a community of players who may themselves be struggling with or celebrating their own upstrumming journeys. To ask is to participate in the ongoing discourse of musical identity, not to extract a tidy instruction manual.
In conclusion if there is to be one, and I’m not entirely convinced there should be we might say that the upstrum is not taught but discovered. It is not prescribed but evolved. And so, perhaps the real answer lies not in any specific method or technique, but in the courage to ask, the curiosity to explore, and the willingness to upstrum, whatever that may mean for you in the moment.

>>127311699
What???
Just turn the bass-end thumb screw to raise the bridge a little.
Either that, or the neck might be too straight. Hold the guitar sideways and look down the neck, does it appear curved?
If you adjust the bridge, don't forget to re-intonate by fretting the string at the 12th fret and plucking.
T. literally set up a les paul yesterday for a friend in 10 minutes

>>127313292

Guys, I need the audio code for Alfred's Basic Guitar Method Complete Edition 3rd Ed. I can get it from my local library but it's out for 2 weeks and I'd rather not wait for my turn at it. I located a copy of the ebook on Annas-Archive but it doesn't have the audio code to download the MP3s & videos. All I know is the prefix of the audio code is 00-44749_XXXXXX where the X's are the part I don't know. Anyone willing to post the real numbers and help me out here?

My other solution is to go into a music store and get the unknown digits but that too requires a drive into the city.

Well fuck. Contrary to giant faggots like Paul Reed Smith, the best tonewoods are the least exotic looking. Not that any of that matters for electric guitars anyway

>>127313401
I have several real guitars.

>>127313359
somewhat. it's mostly the bracing and the size of body and size/location of the sound hole. keep in mind that amps generally use the same kinds of speakers but the backs are always closed on bass amps and open on guitar amps

>>127313359
sorry man but the fake laminate martins sound literally like plastic guitars. i wish i could tell you that tone woods dont matter but it does when you're using fisher price plastic as the sound board

pro tip: if you amp is faulty, take out the electronics and pull out the capacitors(cylindrical/cuboid), or pull out the vacuum tubes(light bulb appearance), this will take some elbow grease.

Why would I not be good at acoustic if I'm good at electric?

Tariffs about to be a bitch on this thing if it ever ships… seller has 4 bad reviews out of hundreds of good reviews. Bad reviews are for canceling your order and issuing a refund without communication. It almost feels too good to be true even though it’ll cost me over two grand once all is said and done. Worth it though if the listing is accurate.

>>127313675
over 2k for a MIJ? whoa

>>127313668
You probably would be but your fingers would be pushing heavier gauge strings on an acoustic most likely. Your bending and mashing easy strings on an electric would probably give you grief on an acoustic. Bends would be the most problematic.

If you learn on an acoustic and get strong hands that way, transitioning to an electric is a breeze. It's harder to play an acoustic than electric in my opinion.

>>127313713
Classical gods stay winning

>>127313728
But guitar has no repertoire except for Dowland and transcriptions...

>>127313713
Also using a bottleneck slide unless your action is setup right and using trills too. But that's just my experience. Acoustic guitars tend to have a higher action than an electric by default since they have higher neck tension.

>>127313695
Shipping and tariffs account for about 25% of that. Plus it’s a very limited run, 50 total I think.

>>127313668
A lot of electric guitar techniques are near useless on acoustic, the strings are stiff and rougher, also you can barely play up to the 10th fret on most acoustic

>>127313675
don't worry you'll probably have to spend hours and hours on setting up the god-fucking-awful default bridge once it arrives, or maybe spend some extra $500 getting a tune-o-matic or mastery. But hey congrats on joining the offset family anon

>>127313668
you cant anchor your hand on an acoustic also the strings are thicker like other people said. not saying you can't be good right away but there are a few new things to learn

stinky rockabilly foolin around after a 12 hour work day he’ll yeah
https://voca.ro/17s11a124uNm

>>127313668
In terms of phrasing and some techniques, it requires a different touch. And a lot of electric players find it difficult to adjust, and quite honestly vice-versa.
Just slightly different skillsets is all

>>127313713
i came from playing bass so i have to be really careful not to man handle my acoustic guitar. 13s feel like nothing to me

>>127313773
You can anchor your hand, it only takes a light touch to provide a bit of stability. You don't need to deaden it.

>>127313746
This is what the cutaway acoustics were built for. Sadly I didn't really realize this when I first bought an expensive guitar. Looking back, I'd never buy another acoustic without a cutaway. Just make sure if you buy an acoustic it has electric plugin capability. Adding soundhole mic type electric pickup to an acoustic sucks in my opinion. Same with just using a microphone.

You ever pinch your balls when they're itchy, but you end up pinching more than just the skin?

https://vocaroo.com/1hwTjw3nuzVr

>>127313809
Honestly I don't find the cutaway very useful since the gigantic neck joint prevents you from going up there anyway, and they tend to sound like ass going that high

>>127313789
Ya you'll have the hand strength for sure. But getting the half bends or quarter bends to get those emotional feels will be a challenge. At least for a while. You also may break your 1st or 2nd strings for a while until you get used to things.

>>127313838
I'd have to say it depends on the quality of the guitar. But I hear what you're putting down...

>>127313850
true that. the tiny wires are like razors.
>>127313809
idk if i'll ever get a cutaway, i don't play much past the 9th fret. the one thing i hate about acoustic is the angle of the neck when playing seated. i have to play thumb over neck to not get arthritis

>>127312560 (OP)
I own both Fender and Gibson
what does that say about me?

>>127313770
Been there done that. This one comes with a Mustang bridge from the factory, set up on the Vintera Jag in picrel was needed but doable on my own with a shim and some patience for taking the neck off to adjust the truss rod.

>>127313675
>$2k+ for a MIJ Fender
Yikes, might as well just have saved up a little more for an AVRI or something.

For me it was playing only a classical guitar for the first 2 years then everything else felt so much easier, it took a while to get used to having your fingers so much closer together on an electric neck though.

>>127313869
I'm going to post a short excerpt from YouTube here for an acoustic version of bittersweet symphony in a tutorial. The guy uses a kick ass Cole electric and acoustic guitar. I want this guitar bad. It has a cutaway...gimme a second to track down the video. It's cool.

>>127313905
I bought it for the color and matching headstock, I’m going for a complete stable of FR fenders. Besides, current US fenders are literally no better than MIMs at this point, I’ve been pulling plenty of each off the wall lately and they’re charging for a label at this point. I’ll take Jap made over US made for anything made in the last 15-20 years unless we’re talking custom shop. That being said, I probably will custom order a deluxe Tele in fiesta red with matching headstock at some point down the road.

>>127313955
I was impressed that it sounds like an acoustic too and with the flip of the switch it's an electric. Both sound really good.

There is a hyvibe acoustic guitar that has a lot of built in effects and looping built right into the guitar. I saw Justin Johnson playing this guitar and I was blown away. I just have never heard of hyvibe guitars before, but they sell the electronic kit to be subbed into your own acoustic if you get surgery done to it...I wouldn't to my guitars. But I think in the future you'll see more guitars having this hyvibe electric kit included in more acoustics. It's pretty awesome technology.

I'm playing sitting down, I don't have a little foot stool so I'm strumming on the same side where I rest the guitar on my leg (right leg)

I’m really thinking about picking up a left handed Eastwood Stormbird and flipping it around for right handed use. I’d route a new control cavity and have to make my own cover for it, and then have to cover up the knob holes for the old control knobs. I like the look of non reverse Firebirds but flipped upside down and nobody makes anything like that. A regular reverse Firebird looks great but it isn’t the same body shape as a non reverse.

don't do it

>>127314954
I know I shouldn’t because I know I’ll mess something up but I just love that shape upside down.

>>127315266
what's the point of a foot stool when you have a strap?

>>127315266
>he studies theory
if nothing else, audit some musicianship classes. thats the most immediately useful one to playing guitar live

thats the one where they teach you solfegge and you have to sing and sight-read without an instrument. its pretty fucking hard, and gay cuz you have to sing, but thats the one that rly helps. it basically puts frets in your head. you wont even need a guitar to figure shit out anymore

I'm not into classical guitar but I love classical music. I've never mixed the two before, but have you guys ever learned classical pieces on guitar, by ear or otherwise? I was thinking of trying ot figure out a way to play Haydn symphony 88's first and final movements.

>>127315266
how much theory do you need to know? i know scales

Would you need music theory if you only ever play classical music? Seems like the only skill you'd ever need is sight reading

>>127315337
the thing thats odd about classical guitar is learning to read it ime
guitar has a very wide range to be written in treble clef (its also literally 8vb, so it technically isnt even in treble clef at all)
a lot of ledger lines, on both sides, and often times youre playing notes 2.5 octaves apart either simultaneously or in an arpeggio, so the actual notation can get to be a bit of a clusterfuck unless its notated very carefully

>>127315365
its always helpful to know the "why" in anything
if for no other reason than to aid in memorization

>>127315351
learn chromatic solfegge (i find movable "do" to be the most useful for ppl without perfect pitch) and how to identify intervals and chord qualities by ear

The best fuzzs are always the ones that sound closer to overdrive

i think people who play the guitar really low while standing look stupid.
it's like those people that wear their pants down to their knees.

tighten your strap dude, come on

what in the fuck

Keeley/Waza Blues Driver is the best fuzz.

just look at tom morello. that perfect form. that perfect height. it signifies power and skill. no need to bring it down to his crotch to compensate for a small penis because you know his penis is fucking massive. that's how you should look.

>>127315791
Yes but he'd look much better with a Gibson Les Paul instead

>>127315709
I agree.
It becomes especially stupid when they are then constantly forced to squat awkwardly to play anything other than basic strumming or chuggas.
Which leads the analogy to dude with pants way too low tries to run to catch his bus.

If I make a D chord, then move it up a couple frets - it sounds good but is it still a D chord? What does it become at that point?

>>127316284
It would become a _ chord if you do it along a key change.
Without a key change, it maybe transforms into a minor chord.

t. barely-educated music-theorylet

for me, its
E - 2
A - 4
D - 4
G - 3
B - 0
e - 0

>>127316284
its an F
assuming youre talking about an open chord, and are still hitting the D underneath, its an F/D. the slash just means the root note the chord is over

it would work well within D minor, D boomer/blues, D dorian, D mixolydian etc

is it true that humbuckers are snake oil and that all you need are humbuckers that work and you can use an EQ and amp to get whatever tone you want out of them?

>>127316284
>>127316397
idk why i just assumed you meant "move up 3 frets"
but whatever i just woke up
thats the answer for open D chord moved up 3 frets: F/D

further ones that shouldnt sound too dissonant
up 2 frets - E/D
up 5 frets - G/D
up 7 frets - A/D
up 9 frets - C/D
etc

the point is, youre not actually changing the intervals in the chord shape, so the actual quality of the chord doesnt change. theyre all major chords.
the weird root note CAN imply other modes. but you usually arent using slash chords as tonal centers anyways. unless youre some jazz geek, theyre usually just for flavor

>>127316409
Snakeoil? No absolutely not.
Overrated in their importance and difference in sound? Yes.

why the fuck are "handwound pickups" considered more premium than pickups where a machine did it? id rather a machine wind my pickups than a human.

>>127316409
i think theyre a meme, but not for that reason. my pickups are literally microphonic, so im pretty far off in the other camp of retards.

but theyre for players who play with high gain. so they buck the hum and make it more manageable at stage volume. for bedroom purposes theyre wholly irrelevant. i cant see why youd want LESS signal, ever. and apparently, neither could they, since most of them now that are frequently used by metalheads are all active and take batteries. to boost the signal back up

>>127316491
What do you mean by "signal"? Average passive humbucker has higher output signal than average single coil pickup.

humbuckers are great for every genre. If anything you could be buy an HH and using variable split along with EQ to get single coil tones.

>>127316656
>could be buy
It's fucking over. I should've hone to sleep.

>>127316462
People get paid by the hour and machines don't so the handmade stuff are more expensive, it doesn't matter if it's better or not

>>127316533
yea im pretty sure they tend to wind more wire on em to compensate for that specifically on the passive ones. iirc they sometimes use stronger magnets too, because its a known factor in the design.
humbuckers are just two single-coils that are wound in series, but connected out-of-phase from each other. thats the "buck". the phase cancellation reduces hum/noise/feedback. but youre literally cancelling/EQing some of your waveform in order to do that. you lose a LOT of highs (which IS the point tbf), and your high-mids usually get a little trim too, incidentally.
by the laws of physics, they cannot be louder if both pickups are otherwise wound the same, set at same height, same type of magnets etc, because singlecoils arent cancelling any of the wave, while humbuckers ARE

like i said. i dont use them. havent in maybe 10yrs
but i remember i had an ibanez that had those meme single/humbucker switches. in that case, where it can actually be compared 1:1 easily, the singlecoil mode was noticeably louder and noisier, since they obv couldnt change the amount of coil wrapped around it magically with a stupid little pull pot switch.
so i just never used the humbucker setting on that guitar
and then i just never used them ever again, cuz i want MORE noise, and MORE dynamic range, and MORE microphonics. and then you compress it so its even more fucked and you can hear every creak and crack
*chefs kiss*
but again, thats why i prefaced my post with
>my pickups are literally microphonic
im well aware my opinion on the matter is functionally the opposite of ~99% of guitarists

tl;dr
just think of it like an EQ. humbuckers are subtly EQing your output via the pickup itself, in order to reduce hum

>>127316919
>split humbucker to single coil
>louder
tf you smoking man, it cuts the level considerably
humbuckers aren't 2 coils wired out of phase unless you specifically want that. they're in series

>>127317028
>humbuckers have two coils, with opposite magnetic polarity (north/south facing up)
right
so the two coils out of phase with each other
which is how they do what they do

>>127317080
in-phase and opposite polarity are different things
you CAN wire them out of phase, it's a fun sound to play around with but that's not the default bucker setup

>>127313746
>also you can barely play up to the 10th fret on most acoustic
sounds like somebody needs a setup

chuds mad that polyphia are touring internationally. they won. get over it

is there a name for this posture?

>>127316748
the ones made by people will be wildly inconsistent. a machine could wind a pickup like.....the same over and again. the manually wound ones might spit out a great pickup every so often but you're gonna have duds along the way. guess that's why people value it. the vintage guitar crapshoot continues even today

>>127317195
that's the "lumbering dinosaur"

>>127317096
at any rate, my point is that it EQs the output via phase cancellation. which it does. thats how it does what it does. its two pickups, oriented opposite each other, then wound as one. youre EQing out some of the highs that you wouldve otherwise had

its just not my bag. in fact its the opposite of my bag.
my rule of thumb is
>pick up guitar
>plug in guitar
>knock on guitar
>does it make a very loud knocking noise?
>yes/no?
if yes, then ill play it
otherwise its got nothing to do with me
now im not averse to having a single-coil in there, and i sometimes have one in the neck. but due to the radically different output lvls between regular pickups and goldfoils (way quieter, but you can raise em much higher since its fake rubberized fridge magnet, not alnico), youd want something like a jazzmaster with the dual volume circuits. and then compressor obv, because goldfoils are unreasonably dynamic and sensitive to how/where you pick/hit the guitar

but i still stand on humbuckers making functionally no difference whatsoever unless youre playing with gain at stage volume. for your standard-issue bedroom rocker, its a total meme. youre not loud enough for it to ever matter (unless you just rly hate ur mom/neighbors lol). and if youre recording, any highs you dont like are just getting EQd out in the mix anyways

>>127317245
who asked

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.

>>127317195
the gibson slump

>>127317245
nta but another retard, wdym humbuckers don't have a difference to single coils, the sound is obviously warmer. And what is that knock test do?

>>127317329
get a resonator and tune it to open d minor

>>127317329
doesn't matter all that much.
if you're doing reverb-heavy stuff, the hum cancelling might be nice. can't imagine you would want the extra highs from singles

>>127317344
it means the pickups are microphonic, like you could yell into them. also means a half-assed wax potting job so the copper windings will oxidize and deteriorate over time.

it's also a cork sniffer thing for some guitarists

>>127316301
>>127316397
>>127316420
Thanks

>>127317329
Listen to Loren Connors. He used an SSS strat his whole life for that sound. Personally I prefer humbuckers for that kind of music since hum can really ruin quiet moments

the guy who asked if humbuckers were a meme
they are

my meme is far superior
gotta stick up for my boy: the goldfoil
best meme in the fucking world. and ime, an incredibly misunderstood meme among the broader internet guitar nerd community. you wouldnt believe how many shitty """broken""" harmonys ive bought for 10-20 bucks off ppl, then just went home, opened up the pickup, then used a compass to re-align the magnets, and had like the craziest sounding harmony youve ever heard

>>127317344
microphonics. in practice, its basically the pickup shaking against itself.
it makes the guitar like a completely different instrument. its more like a drum, where it changes tones radically based on how you hit it, and where your volume knob is
a good ex is whatsherdick. that one dyke. st vincent? that chicks whole career is literally just her using goldfoils. everyone thinks its just some stompbox or amp or whatever. nah, its just the cheapest shittest pickups ever, put into a better guitar

>>127317360
most of them arent potted at all. not in the old kit-built teiscos, never seen it in silvertones, sometimes harmonys
you gotta be very careful potting them or youll kill them outright.

Can humbuckers fit in a standard JM route? Thinking about doing something like this.

>>127317559
Of course not, but you can buy P90 sized humbuckers

>>127317567
Ok? And how does that help him?

>>127317634
He wants humbuckers on his JM so I offer a solution to do it without digging out bigger holes into the body? What do you want?

>>127316250
Finally, good guitar posting

>>127317559
im looking at mine, which has those big soapbar ones, and i feel like you could fit whatever you wanted in there. jazzmasters are just huge guitars so everything on it just looks smaller

i suppose it depends on what exactly youre taking out and what youre replacing it with. determines how much monkeying around might be needed to get them seated right.
you might wanna get a squier instead if youre gonna tard out on it and start replacing everything tho. thats what i would do

>>127317559
Yes they will.
You'll have to fill the holes with something or make a new one and get the pickups to mount but a humbucker will fit.
Maybe some really short humbukcer frames?

>>127317431

Can anyone recommend a good offset screwdriver or bit set that might work with a mustang bridge? I was was gonna adjust the neck relief more today, but realized that I don't have anything that'll reach

>>127317723
i like the music nomad screwdriver and truss rod wrench sets. the only thing i've needed an extra tool for is martin truss rods cause they're crammed way up in there

>>127317648
It’s still going to require routing? What kind of solution is that if he could just route for humbuckers instead of routing for P90 sized humbuckers?

>>127317723
I just bought a little angled screwdriver from Ace Hardware for mine, the one I already had was too big and they had a cheap little Ace branded one that works great for those saddle screws.

>>127317800
The thing already has holes for P90s so in theory they should fit right in without any need for further modification

>>127317780
not my photo, but this is what I'm dealing with. Might have to replace the Philips screws with Hex screws later if I can find any that are the right size cause this is a tight squeeze and I really don't want to have to loosen the strings and take it off for every one.

>>127317809
Jazzmaster pickups aren’t P90s. They might fit in the hole but he’d have to check. They’re different sizes and JM pickups are shallower.

>>127317808
Thanks, I'll have to check there. Harbor Freight doesn't have any.

>>127317827
They have an Ace branded two pack for like ten bucks, the smaller of the two in the two pack works great for my Mustang bridges. Ace number 2037187

>>127317700
on a regular pickup they just dip the coil itself in wax. it prevents microphonic feedback, as then the pickup coil cant shake inside of its casing at high volume.

on the goldfoils you need to be much more sparing, since the microphonics are the whole point. its where the tone comes from. if you pot those like you would a normal pickup its ogre.

>>127317821
damn, leo had some really fucking bad ideas. this and heel truss rod adjustment. what was he thinking

>>127317839
Or you could just flip the bridge around too, that’ll work as well you’d just have to reintonate. The bridges are mirrored front and back.

>>127312801
does masayoshi takanaka or george benson count?

>>127317855
Oh I see. It's potting, like potting food.

Are you sure? I thought I read that that the high E and low E have different set heights? I guess you could also reverse the order of the saddles? This is why I took it to the guitar shop lol. There so much information and sometimes it contradicts shit.

They should be the same, just matching the radius of the fretboard. To raise up one side just tweak the screw. I don’t know for sure though, I’ve just seen them with the bridge flipped.

>>127318057
I'll try it out later before I do anything else just to see. I still gotta set up the pickups because the bridge one is way too low. Might just do it by ear if I feel like it cause I gotta pick up a feeler gauge as well.
