First for my Queen Lavigne

Reading practice this week. It's actually a lot easier than I thought. My only problem is this shitty stand wont stay up so I have to practice sitting.

can anyone tell a difference between the 2025 d18 and d28? they both now have the exact same bracing pattern and the difference to me is maybe like 1% now

>>127318092
I never follow the fingering instructions in these books. I have no idea who they think can do that mr fantastic type of stretching but it's not me

>>127318202
idk why youd want to
you really want to be using more of the meat of your fingers than the very tippy tips. esp down on the bottom end like that.

I’ve been having trouble getting my artificial harmonics on the low e to ring out, and it just so happens I’ve been having intermittent signal which I thought was a bad cable but I replaced my cable and it’s still happening. I’m wondering if the reason my artificial harmonics aren’t ringing on the low strings (I’m hitting them they just aren’t loud and don’t squeal under amplification) is because I have some kind of a wiring problem. Taking it to my luthier tomorrow and he’s going to check it out and see what is causing the issue whether it’s a cold solder on my bridge pickup or an input jack problem. I have no problem with punch harmonics on the high strings. My guitar does sound kind of weak and trebly on the bass strings when I’m playing power chords. So idk. I hope it’s just the wiring and the Duncan distortions aren’t a shitty as I thought they were. That way I don’t have to buy new pickups.

i don't like how slick elixir strings are

>>127318105
wholesome

>>127318559
I don’t like elixir strings period. I use daddario nyxl or Ernie ball cobalt. The nyxl have been decent so I’ll probably stick with them for the foreseeable future. I’ve heard good things about string joy but I’m not buying anything called string joy.

>>127318582
lol i tried string joy a few months after they first started. not bad at all but very average. i'll probably give daddy-os a shot next time im out. i like the shartin monel strings but id like to find a daddario version of those.

hate aifags so much. your music sucks too btw, guitars are a mans instrument.

Good job on buying the coiled complete book. I had to buy mine separately books 1, 2 and 3 and they don't lay flat on my stand so I have to use butterfly clips or similar to keep the book open as it wants to close all the time. I actually have a cerlox comb machine to make the coiled books. Got it from a garage sale for $10. Big heavy fucking thing like a typewriter.

>>127318067
OH and you could use powerful hard drive magnets or similar magnet clips to adhere the book to your fridge if you want to stand upright. Just an idea.

I know those hard drive magnets are powerful as hell and can actually cause damage to your fingers if one is not careful.

how do i know if the buzz is a high fret or a low nut?

>>127319421
It could also be from a not straight neck. Best bet is to take it in for a setup. But it can be costly. Show the technician exactly what you want done. Make sure if you want action settings adjusted to find an instrument in the shop that has what you like as a reference. Otherwise the technician does it arbitrarily on what THEY like not what YOU might like. You can get plenty of how to setup a guitar books on the Interweb. Annas-Archive dot org has plenty. Correctly setting up a guitar is more than turning a truss rod. You can fuck up your instrument if it's not done correctly.

>>127318875
i just won't buy the nauseating guitar instead

>>127319421
low nut will only buzz open strings
not enough relief will buzz or fret out 2-7th frets
too much relief will fret out 15th+
too low action will buzz everywhere but worse with harder strums or more on the lower frets
high fret will buzz only on certain frets on certain strings or more often completely fret out and cause a dead note

>>127319248
the only way this stuff is ever gonna be useful is if you can get it down small enough/dumb enough to run clientside on ppls own machines. and have it not melt your computer of course.
think like bonzi buddy, but not literal malware, and you can train it do whatever YOU want, not whatever grok feels like at that particular moment. it would be an AI tool that you trained yourself, to do exactly what you want. you can get to instantly do all the tedious shit you dont wanna do on your DAW etc

i can think of all numbers of applications of this tech, but none of them want to hear it because itll be way harder to monetize it that way.
nah. they just want an auto-jeet, even if it means building the communist gangster computer god to do it
its a gay earth
fuck it

>>127318067
Dollar stores sell those cheap quick grip clip type clamps for cheap. Buy one for like $2 or whatever and use it to keep your stand at a height you like.

>>127319458
>>127319507
thanks guys. gonna take it in i'd hate to fuck it up

>>127319184
are you dumb or retarded?

>>127319628
It's worth it. But make sure the shop you go to isn't TOOOO busy or the technician won't listen to you and/or rush the job and take your money and you'll still be pissed at the instrument AND the shop tech/company. If the vibe you get from the tech is rushed or non sympathetic, then don't leave your instrument with them. Go elsewhere. This is a relationship you're building with these guys that will last a long time if they do a good job...you'll probably go with them in the future and maybe even be inclined to buy more instruments/gear from them in future too.

>>127319685
this is good advice. unfortunately great shops will be too busy which sucks for just getting a reliable setup as they expect you to leave the instrument with them the entire time which can take months. it would be awful to be without an instrument that long

>>127319726
This is true. I have 2 expensive guitars out of my collection I hate because I took them in to a busy shop to be adjusted for action settings. They did the adjustment but both are now TOO low. Didn't get to talk to anyone or try it out in the store before walking out...so they did the work but it's not to my satisfaction. I would have been better off not getting it done at all in my case.

Anyhow, you get what I'm putting down here. Unfortunately setups done by others are like rolling the dice. Things you don't realize when you first buy an instrument is how they actually play and feel not just how they sound.

Good luck man. Hope you get a good shop/tech and you're satisfied.

>>127319458
My used ibanez has never been as good as when I first picked it up from guitar center. I've finally understood how to set up a guitar decently, but it's still not perfect. I ended up raising the action because of the worn frets. I'd love to have it super low. Then again, I'd like some sustain... (it already has shit sustain). No further adjustments are to be made.

I'm getting this fucker offered to me for $150. I currently have no amp for gigs and I need one, I play dreampop.
Is it worth it? I've seen some YT videos and some say it's good while others say it's horse shit. I'm wondering if anyone's familiar with it.

>>127319421
>muh fret buzz
holy shit just roll with it at this point

>>127320720
It's a deal for $150. If it fucking works and is not blown out somehow or physically dented to hell. Take it and run fast. You're stealing it. You can always make $200+ selling it.

pro tip: if your band mate has impedance issues with his gibson, take it from him, and piledrive the guitar

>>127320778
The thing with these smaller amps is that you can daisy chain them up to a more powerful setup in the future. So your sound gets dialed in using this smaller amp, you can then connect it to a bigger setup for power and projection should you ever wish to gig. Or you could always trade it in in future on more powerful gear or a different brand. You can further modify your "sound" by using pedals and effects so the amp is what blasts the sound out primarily so don't get too fixated on features.

>>127320778
> can always make $200+ selling it
doubt it

Ai needs to do something useful like unfuck tonex ui, or patch NAM into a raspberries pi, generate midi drums, 3d print a Vandenberg, resurrect sam, redistribute wealth

>>127320778
>You can always make $200+ selling it.
you ever try selling behringer stuff?
all you will get is offers for 40% of the price you are asking for, if lucky.

>>127320849
toan-wise (clean, I have pedals for fxs), will it get the job done?

>>127320851
Have you seen prices of electronics these days? Tariffs and taxes? $150 is nothing but a single heavy night out drinking and make some food in there too. It's a cheap used as fuck laptop price. $200 is nothing in the amp world. That's 2 lift tickets at a ski hill.

Thinkin bout that beefcake coming down a fresh powder slope then warming the hearts at the lodge with a few chords of the uke.

>>127319726
I leave my guitar with a shop that takes 3-10 days on average to return my guitar because they build custom instruments and are also licensed repair techs for fender and Gibson products. I know I can take my guitars there and tell them to give me a factory setup and the guitar will come out exactly as it’s supposed to be by manufacturer spec. They charge 75 for a standard guitar and 150 for a Floyd but it’s worth it to at least get one good setup on the guitar when I buy it. Then at least I know my nut is filed correctly, my frets are level, pickups are at the correct height, neck relief is in spec, bridge and string heights are in spec, and I can adjust things from there if I need to down the line. I usually only pay for the first setup and then do all intonation / neck relief adjustments etc myself from there on.

>>127320908
That amp is a piece of shit and will never sell for $150 unless the retard in here buys it.

>>127320720
You'd be stupid not to buy this. They're going for 200 all day

>>127320996
Ok since you're so fucking intelligent and know everything, then tell us all why genius that it's such a piece of shit? Back it up. Otherwise you're just a dumb kid who can barely play a fucking instrument. You're an iPhone or iPad kinda guy I can already tell. Brand chaser but can't actually DO SHIT with any of it except keep it on his shelf collecting fucking dust.

>>127321014
He's not going to like this. They hate the truth.

>>127321014
>projection
Keep seething champ. That’s a behringer, it was probably 200 new. And the tariffs didn’t make gear more expensive, it’s made it more worthless because everyone played guitar and went down to the music shop looking to sell their extra guitars pedals and amps now that we are all poor. Supply and demand. It wasn’t even worth 200 a year ago before all the madness

>>127321014
kek, you're the guy trying to offload the trash for 150 bucks aren't you?

>>127320858

It was only like 20 bucks too. Since most of this i already know. It's kinda just like burning through a bunch of different songs.

>>127319385
I will look into those if I can't find a good clip.

Seller messaged me with tracking today, this is the most hyped I’ve been for a guitar in a while and I’ve bought a lot of guitars this year, really good ones. I’m probably overhyping it a bit, and being a Jag it will require TLC to get playing in an optimal state, but I’ve been there before and have a good deal of experience with setting up finicky fender offsets at this point. For me it’s all about the finish and matching headstock on this one, I’m 3/5 for Fiesta Red fenders w/ matching headstocks. Just need a Tele and to paint the headstock on my Noventa JM. I know a guy who paints them and does a great job with paint/finish matching, I’m going to pester him for tips.

>>127322002
>he bought a second Jag instead of a fourth Mustang
cringe

>gave my guitar the bass overdrive pedal after seeing buzz osborne using one on guitar
>sounds cool
>fuck it let's load everything up
I think bass may not need all the effects anyway. Every time I see a bass player pedal board they hardly have more than 5 and only use 1 or 2 at a time. Seems like with guitar I'll have more creative freedom with FX's until i get a better understanding of them.

>>127322002
very cool. i'm still looking for my dream guitar. i don't even know what it is yet but it's an acoustic

>>127322034
I have every mustang aside from a vintage and if I’m going vintage it’s going to be a competition blue with matching headstock and every cunt selling one charges thrice what they’re worth if not more. These three are enough Mustang for me, I may put a HB or hotrail in the blue Vintera but I’m pretty happy with the stable as it is.

Why is transcribing so hard and frustrating? I'm not talking about trancribing power chords, this quite easy. I'm talking about chords, fingerstyle, solos etc.

Are you good at transcribing? Tell me your experience and give some good tips.

>>127322583
I don’t know chords. I just tell my bass player to play the 2

>>127322270
It's only barely less readable than tabs, you can get used to it if you play from double notation.

>>127320992
To each their own but all of that shit is pretty easy to do yourself. Every job I thought “maybe I shouldn’t do this myself” turned out to be simple, it’s just a plank of wood with a few wires and a bit of bone with slots on it

>>127322583
it's just time consuming

>>127322270
It's pretty easy to read if you get a book that shows you. I thought it was going to be confusing but it's pretty straightforward

>>127322849
I'll probably have to learn in the future but right now just worryin about guitar.

>>127322773
So is learn songs by ear worthless?

Headless guitars look retarded and so does the person playing it

so i just found out fret buzz on an electtic guitar is normal as long as you dont hear it through the amp. so why the fuck does everyone say its such a big deal?

>>127322919
If you do like 15 minutes is reading practice a day. It'll pay off

whats the point of reading sheet music when tabs exist?

>>127322956
Not all songs have tabs but most have sheet music. I was tabs only until recently

>>127322922
no it just takes a long time to write the transcription. thinking up a line in your head and transcribing it out is a great way to find your sound and become better at improvising

>>127322956
being able to play something complex you've never seen before while reading at the same time gives you a superhuman level of timing and fretboard memorization

>>127323021
Can't you play and read tabs at the same time?

>>127323193
not very well since i dont use them much but 50% of tabs dont display the rhythm

How did Papa Roach get away with these lyrics?

>>127322956
Chord shapes are a lot easier and quicker in notation, plus you're getting pitch and rhythm info at the same time. No matter how good you get with tab, you will never be able to sight read like someone who is fluent in notation. And 9/10 the notation reader understands more about music. That said, notation takes a while to be comfortable with and requires continual use. It might not be worth the squeeze depending on what you're trying to do. Want to explore jazz or classical anything? Notation. Want to improvise over 12 bar blues or play Iron Maiden? Probably not necessary.

>>127323454
>Chord shapes are a lot easier and quicker in notation
that sounds like bullshit

transparent overdrives are boring as fuck

>wanna play guitar loud so i can feel the crunch from my amp in my gut
>can’t because sister in law is visiting

>>127323454
>No matter how good you get with tab, you will never be able to sight read like someone who is fluent in notation.
i don't believe that for a second. tabs literally tell you exactly where to put your fingers. with music notation you have to translate the note to the position onto the guitar.

>>127323350
gibson?

>>127323474
I can only speak from experience. Chord shapes become instantaneous after a little bit. Tab is quicker at first but slower in the long run.

>>127323491
Yeah, but then you're reading the rhythm separately. Notation will let you read both at the same time. Notation readers can take an admirable crack at a song they haven't ever heard before. Tab guys are going to have to sit there for a bit and figure it out first. Whether that's important to you is a different story.

Still haven’t bit the bullet on buying a local Sunn amp from the 1970s. $350 is his asking price and he says it works but I’m still hesitant buying a 50 year old solid state amp with an unknown service history. I’d hate buying it only to need to have work done like replacing caps or whatever and at that point I could have just put that money instead into another amp.

I think I want to strip the matte shell pink finish off my charvel socal and leave it natural like my old ash body charvel. Since it’s just a matte finish would paint thinner be enough to take the paint off or do you think I’d need to sand it as well? I’d probably just give it a coat in mineral oil when I’m done. Seeing as the neck is already unfinished maple and it has a pick guard it shouldn’t be too difficult to do. I thought about maybe spray painting it flat white but we’ll see.

>>127322956
tabs don't show you the note duration and rhythm. Only where to put your fingers on the strings.

>>127323967
You’re probably going to have a hard time getting through the poly finish. Poly is a pain in the ass to strip.

I used to regular /akg/ before it was /akg/ and long before threads were numbered but left with all the regulars maybe like six years ago and haven’t been back. The AK world is gay af with all kinds of cringe guns now, back in my day they were cheap beater rifles the cool AR homos didn’t want and you prided yourself on breaking 922r and having clone correct builds, now AKs are just more expensive but shittier AR equivalent coomed over by the same AR fags. Tarkov killed AKs. Back in my day you’d buy a tin a 1080 rounds for a hundred bucks and magdump into trash and dirt before throwing your rifle into a pond to clean it out, now the kids buy $500 rails for their AKs and are legitimately upset when they get the tiniest scratch on their rifle aka it’s gay now

what strings?

>>127325101
daddario 10s, I switched from slinkys but the daddarios only last slightly longer. Failure point is always the point that was on the saddle

>>127325118

you could always replace that one saddle I guess

Don't tusq make saddles? Try those. If the strings keep breaking you have gremlins.

I wonder what Joes up to

>>127325170
>>127325328
That's about where I'm at at this point.
I had a pack of EB paradigms lying around I threw on, if the D or G breaks within 2 months on this I'm just going to replace all the saddles and do wraparound.

>>127325450

>>127324948
It's usually the g string that has issues on LPs, and that's a problem at the nut and easily fixed. Is your saddle sharp or any binding at the nut?

>>127325455
put hot solder on your nutsack

>>127325450
Lester polfuss but your guitar might weigh 30lbs by the time he's done

>>127325463
nah it's a bone nut, appears to have a good break angle to the tuner. I haven't looked closely at the saddles but they seem to be the standard v shape. Thinking about it, v might be a bad shape, I got this second hand so this may already have a replacement bridge come to think of it.
Anytime anything breaks it's always D/G at the saddle fwiw.

Talking like that "bop-bop-bopbopbop-bwaaaannngggggg" kinda vibe, how do you even know how to do that, can I just play groups of notes in the mode? I tried that and it sounds like horse ass half of the time

Any exercises I can do to make me more accurate at landing fingers on the right strings?

>>127325732
People will argue this because there's a kneejerk reaction against this exercise, but SPECIFICALLY for accuracy, look up different versions of the spider exercise on youtube.

>>127325732
play without looking

>>127325486
Get some sand paper or files and go at it

>>127325732
look without playing

>>127325742
Thanks
>>127325788
>>127325805
Will also try this

>>127325742
I still don't really understand how to do the spider exercise.
My guitar teacher back then said to leave the finger on the frets, and open strings, old fretted note and new fretted note must all ring unmuted.
But if I look online that is never mentioned.
With some describing the spider as basically just 1-2-3-4 without anything special etc.

>>127325992
That's why I told him to look up the different versions of it.
Level 1 is just 1234 up down and across. But there's also what you described and eventually independent finger movement.

>>127325732
This >>127325742 or cock and ball torture yourself with rocksmith

>>127326282
>>127326182
Ah, the observation that “strings around the middle fret feel really loose” immediately invites us into a layered and multi-faceted conversation one that transcends mere technical diagnosis and instead wades into the deep waters of history, tactile perception, and the peculiar, almost symbiotic relationship between a guitarist and their instrument. While on the surface, one might think this is a matter of simple string tension and perhaps an aging fretboard, the truth or at least the discussion demands far more narrative winding than any brisk, utilitarian answer could ever satisfy.
To begin, we must acknowledge the subjective nature of “looseness.” For some, a slightly forgiving string response near the seventh or ninth fret may be an intentional design choice, offering a certain suppleness for blues bends or vibrato flourishes. For others, this sensation may be a symptom perhaps of decades of wood expansion and contraction, or of frets worn just enough to shift the feel without entirely undermining playability. The age of the guitar, as you note, complicates matters further, for time has a way of whispering into the very fibers of the neck and subtly altering the tension profile in ways no factory specification sheet could fully anticipate.

Furthermore, we must also consider the human hand. Perception of tension can vary depending on posture, angle of attack, and the accumulated micro-fatigue in tendons and muscles something we rarely account for when diagnosing “normal” versus “abnormal.” One player’s “loose” is another’s “buttery smooth,” and the guitar itself cannot be divorced from the player’s unique bio-mechanical conversation with it.
Add to this the vast network of potential contributing factors string gauge, scale length, truss rod condition, bridge placement, humidity exposure, string wear, and even the slight variances in winding tightness from one set to the next and we find ourselves in a labyrinth of possibilities where any single, definitive answer would be almost a disservice to the mystery.
Ultimately, the question of normalcy becomes slippery. “Normal” according to whom? The manufacturer? The luthier who last adjusted it three owners ago? The community of players whose own instruments span decades and continents in design and feel? Your guitar, particularly as an “old” one, may be carrying the ghost of its own long musical life every scrape, every seasonal shift, every set of hands it’s passed through contributing to the looseness you now feel.

In short, while there are certainly mechanical explanations to be investigated, it is equally possible that your strings, in their current state, are merely telling you the story of the guitar as it is, not as it once was or “should” be. Whether that story calls for adjustment, repair, or simply acceptance… well, that is for you and the guitar to decide together.

>>127326244
Why is that bad

so it's chord-melody, but they strum it instead, kind of like voice leading

Whoa

Anyone recognize what’s able to be made out on this headstock to figure out what brand it is? There’s an estate sale in town and they posted this on Facebook but I can’t tell what it is.

>>127326604

>>127326620
Yep that’s this, thanks! Google images has them with the same headstock shape and font. I knew it wasn’t going to be anything half decent but these are like sub $200 shitters, gonna pass. I get excited seeing guitar stuff at estate sales cuz I think I’m gonna find grandpa’s hidden gem for cheap but it’s always shitter guitars.

i wanna get pickups but im worried im just gonna be disappointed and they wont be as big of an upgrade as im hoping

>>127326797
>wall of tube amps.....

>>127326804
Never get you hopes too high but meanwhile pickups really are an upgrade if you're switching them from chinesium stock pickups.
Depends, at some price range, considering the woodwork isn't that much different between an entry-level guitar and a midrange, and it's mostly an improvement of the hardware, so let's say for a ~750€ guitar the pickups are sometimes decent sometimes worth changing. For a budget guitar I would definitely change the pickups and you'll hear huge benefits. For an expensive guitar or a big brand guitar I would consider changing pickups a last resort if you're not happy with your toan, I'd rather switch amps or plugins or pedals or whatever that's less than the price of a set of pickups as that would more drastically change the toan.
Two pickups, or three singles, they quickly amount to almost 400€. You can get a boutique pedal or a decent amp head or a more than luxurious speaker for that price. But if you own a shitplank and it sounds like shit, changing pickups would even be a priority in my opinion, you will definitely hear the difference.

>>127327043
ive got IBZ 6 pickups, one of ibanez's lowest end pickups, although they are made by dimarzio

>>127326700
Ended up just soldering a wire directly to the top spot (a resistor). It connects to a sister board so i just connected it directly.

GUITARFAGS TONGUE MY ASSHOLE

Got a pedalboard and EQ today, shed setup is nearly complete. I'm going to buy a Digitech Drop and compressor eventually but I just found out you can use the Boss Tone Studio on the Katana to pitch shift down to Eb standard which is pretty neat
https://voca.ro/1drrt25QhQfs

I'm slowly coming to the realization that I'm actually pretty good at the (acoustic) guitar after thinking I sucked for 15 years on and off. Feels good bro. Next I need equipment to record myself and stuff I write cause my phone speaker gets BTFO by my acoustic

>>127327058
I just looked them up on Google and the first result was a Reddit thread about some guy wanting the change the magnet inside the IBZ6. The most updooted reply was a guy just telling OP to just fuckin' change the pickup altogether.
I have no experience with DiMarzio, my guitar teacher uses them on his Ibanez's (he is sponsored by them), I guess they sound good. I'm refraining from shilling any brand here, because even though I have a favourite brand, I found even fucking literally-who brands from some guy in his garage that cost 20€ on eBay can sound better than most stock pickups.
So... Depends of the guitar too, are you willing to invest money, time and energy into your shitplank? Or do you want it to sound better or the way you like it?
In Europe I can shill you Warman Guitars, their pickups cost literally 20 bucks (more like 30-40€) but they drastically change the tone enough that you can find satisfaction in them. They make low-output warm pickups: singles, P90s, humbuckers, P90-humbuckers, etc. And they make edgy high-output metal pickups, etc. It's not Seymour Duncan but on a shitplank it's pretty cool.
And on the other hand, you could sell your pair of IBZ6 on eBay or Reverb, I see they go away for like 40-50€.

So yeah, in conclusion, if I were you, considering you have a baby's first guitar Ibanez, I'd try lesser known pickup brands see what they offer see what output you want and what toan profile you'd enjoy. Measure the output and take notice of the magnets, then go from there see what you'd enjoy.

Changing pickups is not the same as changing amps but it gives a very noticeable momentum when you got them right you want them.

I’ll sell you my charvel.

>>127328259
NTA, but for how much?

>>127328354
I’d sell it for 600 shipped. It’s in pretty goood condition minus a few minor blemishes. Full professional setup on 9-42’s E standard factory spec. Plays like a dream, I just don’t care for pink all that much or the Duncan distortions. I don’t play a ton of metal. Basically I’d trade for a charvel in white or a color I like more with JB/59 in it. Or something equivalent.

>>127328376
Actually idk it might be more of a hassle than it’s worth to ship. I don’t even have any boxes or packing material. I might keep it because it plays so nice, but I’ll eventually want to swap the pickups and repaint or sand it down to natural. If it were snow white with a black pick guard and JB/59 it would be perfect.

I don't get how to sweep

This is my ideal charvel. It sucks that white and black is so closely associated with Jake e Lee because it’s really the best color scheme for a charvel. I’m not paying 1400 buckeroos for it though.

Not music. Sorry.
