if you only looped the last few frames it would look like he had parkinson's

You practiced today, yes?

anons, don't forget to have a snack while you're practicing, it helps keep your energy up and your fingers dirty

>>127337755
no I had to clean out my fridge after raw chicken slime leaked all over the place

>>127337755
Dime Bag never practiced. He said his shows were enough playing. That it basically wasn't necessary. I think he was telling the truth. He wasn't being pretentious, he was just being rational. He played a lot of shows. However, seems that it wouldn't hurt to practice even more. Unless you have an injury. You can always improve. But at some point people get good enough to make whatever comes to mind. And at that point technique isn't a focus, because there is so much to do with the tools available.

>>127337755
I will begin practice in about an hour.
I will then practice for ~3 hours.

Let's get one thing about me "straight" up-front. When it comes to sexuality, I'm about as hetero as they come. If a gay guy came on to me, I'd be like, "No way, bro. I'm a straight-up party boy who's into chicks." Yup, one gay dude wouldn't stand a chance. It would take at least four or five gay guys strapping me down to make it inside me. Sorry, fellas, that's just how straight I am. And even then I wouldn't make it easy. I'd be like, "Hey look! There goes George Michael!" And they'd all shriek "Where?!" at once, and I'd make a break for it, and they'd be like, "He's getting away! Chase him! I want his butt!" But I wouldn't just give them my butt. They'd have to take it. And once they got me strapped down, I'd stop fighting it because that would be giving them what they want. And I don't want them to enjoy it. If anyone's going to enjoy it, it's going to be me. So, I'd just relax into it and taunt them by telling them how ripped and sexy I find them and letting them know how much I'm enjoying myself. So, even though I'd have a bunch of ripped guys all taking turns on my butt, I'd still be enjoying it. But only because I forced myself to. It's not like I could fight these guys off. There are too many of them and they want me too much. What am I, Chuck Norris?" I'm not against homosexuality, though. I say to each his own. You're free to do whatever you want.

>>127338291
same as anything, depends how much you practice

get used to doing it with something easy then work your way up to more difficult rhythms

go with freefalling or something to begin with, even wonderwall, memey as it is, is a pretty simple but not braindead easy rhythm

>>127338291

I don't know about that lol I can't concentrate on both things at once

Is there ever a point where you can just pick up the guitar and play without needing to warm up?

>>127338576
Wait, you guys are warming up?

>>127338604

>>127337791
John Petrucci says he has always needed and still needs to do focused practice and preparation for harder stuff, even the things he has played live countless times.
Let's be honest, dimebag and the likes were more innovators who were lucky to be around at the right time. By todays standards he was neither a very technically proficient, nor a super clean or advanced guitarist. Him being a "legend" rides on Pantera's popularity and the fact that he kicked the bucket early enough to create a myth.
Doesn't mean he was a "bad guitarist", but the hardest stuff he ever played you can now hear from every random dude occupying the amp at your local guitar shop.

Also there is a difference between practice/improvement, and just continuously maintaining what you are comfortable with. There is nothing inherently wrong with the latter. However that is also why you have tens of thousand of guitarists who constantly go "man I've been playing guitar for 15 years and I can't do that!!" because in reality they learned and practiced for a year or two, then never did anything outside their comfort zone ever again.

>>127337791
Dime even had a guitar in his bathroom to practice on the shitter

Is harmony based on one instruments relation to what another instrument is playing?
Or is it what you're playing in relation to a chord shape?

>>127338865
If there are multiple instruments, harmony is what all instruments are doing together. It encompasses the whole song.
The bass can change the harmony by playing a different root note for example.

If you are talking about a solo instrument, then harmony is kind of "muh chord".
Harmony is never just chord shape or chord voicing though. If you transcribe or read the harmony from the lead sheet of a song, and you write/read "A-7b5" then the voicing for that doesn't matter. Playing it as a drop chord, a shell voicing, a block chord or an inversion or whatever doesn't influence the harmony.

>>127337791
dime is mostly right
if youre trying to learn one particular thing, and are in a band doing that same thing, there IS no better practice than just gigging as much as you can. youll learn so much more, so much faster, and you and your buds will become impossibly tight while playing together.

if youre trying to get a bit more into the weeds, learn new guitar esoterica and tech, in styles outside your own? then sitting down and practicing/learning that new stuff is basically mandatory. tho id still agree with dime in that after you figure out how to play it, you should just go back out and gig on that.

>>127338901

lol

>>127338865
>Is harmony based on one instruments relation to what another instrument is playing?
yes
its the conglomerate of whats being played
if you as a guitarist are hitting a D bar chord on the 5th fret, thats just a D, obv.
if your bassist is hitting a G under that, it changes the whole color of everything. its now a D/G. if you dont have a bassist, try it by yourself by adding the 3rd fret G under your D chord.
if the bass then moved down to an F#, thats now back to just being a D (albeit a first inversion D, as its over the 3rd of the chord).
try moving between these 3 chords to soak in the difference in harmony
itll be a good fingerstretch if nothing else

the easiest way to radically shift the harmony is via altering the bass note. which is why bassists, ironically, should be the MOST well versed in harmony in your band. because whatever they decide to do dictates basically everything else

>500+ to get it painted
>as much or more for a charvel body
Mine as well just keep it pink and buy a used white one with JB/59 for around 500 dollars that way I can have different pickups and tunings. The pink isn’t that bad, I just want a white charvel.

>>127338954
So this is like if you make multiple parts in a song you're writing?

>>127339062
dude keep it pink it looks sick
i would play that if i wasnt allergic to strats

>>127338948
It’s for pick me retards that are so annoying they can’t get anyone else to play music with them so they sit there and fumble around with a rack of looper pedals playing half assed covers of jack johnson while you’re trying to eat your 20 dollar burger.

>>127339081
yea its insanely helpful for that
imo, its a decent stand in for a metronome. if not just objectively superior because you can practice over chord changes

>>127339113
this sounds personal

I wish I was White

>>127338948
It’s a pedal for skinny manlets who aren’t happy being “just” the lead singer and guitarist so they buy one of these and niggerbox the drums and bass that way they can be the complete center of attention and annoy you in a 25 person capacity brewery while you’re forced suck down 12 dollar pints of India pale ale.

Brehs my tremolo is starting to sound like not dogshit. The right hand gains in general have been huge for the past few days. Yes, it's finally happening.

>>127339249
That's cool anon, just keep in mind that tremolo picking is not the path to real speed.

>>127339277
I've heard about that and I'm not getting lazy or sidetracked, don't worry. But this is the first time every I really focused on my right hand ever and I feel like my technique improved massively independent of tremolo picking, no tension in my right hand when picking fast, no getting stuck at strings on the upstroke, the path my hand travels is visibly more efficient etc. I'm probably gonna keep working on this for then next two days and then shift my focus.

having trouble with arpeggios. how do you play the high 3 strings over and over, keep missing or hitting wrong strings or mess up timing when striking one by one. whats the technique here? i think i'm retarded or have parkinsons (sorry)

https://voca.ro/1jv5qHNl1lIy

>>127339167
I can see why you got replaced with a pedal

>>127339390
Slow it down, worry about hitting all of them properly first before doing it faster. You'll get there

>>127339390
>>127339390
mess around with up and downstroke variations
i would expects you'd pick that down, up, upp, assuming you're starting on the highest note
its really hard to pick up, up, up and then jump back to the high note for another upstroke

>>127339424
>down, up up

o fuck it worked!

>>127339449
yeah, also if you're thinking about the one downstroke as a pulse, like if you were counting 1 & a 2 & a etc. it'll help with locking into whatever you want to play to

>>127339215
its called a tranny

>>127339424
does anyone here actually strictly alternate pick? like always v^v^v^
i didnt even notice it until my friend pointed it out, but i just automatically switch depending on the arpeggios and/or the dynamics/accents

>>127339535
Trannies are neither girls nor women.
And a woman is still a woman even if she's big, tall, smol, muscular, anorexic or whatever.
fuck off with the lgbt propaganda

>>127339143
depends how you do it
i used to loop electric outside on a car battery hooked up to a power converter, then plug my amp and a delay pedal into that. looked like some mad max shit (a good tip to get ppl to stop and look: just look strange). then id just post up somewhere near the let out for a big show and cover random songs off band tshirts ppl were wearing, using flute for the vocal melody
id end up with like 100 lot kids laying down in the park next to me all trying to offer me acid lol

this was many moons ago tho
i know what youre talking about, and its pretty much why i havent done it in like 10yrs. its just oversaturated. the barrier to entry for such things got way too low

theres something very different going on here from the guitar world. their hands are always "floating". its never braced on anything. and yet they still arent doing the intermediate-lvl-guitarist sin of just "locking your wrist and vibrating from your elbow". its much more controlled

Does pick scraping always demolish picks? Are there any picks that withstand it better? I’m sick of getting half way through a Van Halen song and having to swap my pick because it starts getting stuck in the strings.

>>127339658
>>127339705
remember kids
if you go too loud in the gigareverb tank, it just bounces off itself a thousand times and you just end up with a bad MBV album
if it sounds too washed out, try rolling back the volume a hair
and be careful boosting any particular frequency too much, or youll endup with a big "lump" of waveforms in the midrange somewhere, and itll make you feel like you need to pop your ears

>>127339726
I get really nice thick sounding pick scrapes by the way. I’m using Dunlop tortex 70mm yellow picks, but it will shred the pick almost immediately. I’ve tried the Van Halen signature nylon ones and those are worse. I use the back of the pick but if I’m doing alternate picking or tremolo picking it tends to catch on the abrasions on the upstroke.

>>127339718
yea good point, the gyppos do it too
they mustve picked it up at some point on their way through iran

Why the fuck are pedalboards to expensive?
I think I'll just go to a close metalshop and ask them to machine/bend some steel the way I need. Will be higher quality and cheaper too.
>>127339658
>>127339705
very based.
Story?

>>127339759
Lmao @ pedalboard chuds

>>127339750
i use the green ones but they get fucked up too
dont rly do em that much, but i think its partly the angle. you get a better scrape sound if the acute angle is towards the bridge, but it fucks the picks up way more than if you angle it the opposite direction (acute angle facing the head)

i think you gotta just buy a lot of picks if youre a real metalhead

>>127339759
get one of those pelican cases. get one where it doesnt have a hinge, and you can take the whole top off
ive seen ppl make nice ones with those
you gotta mount the pedals to the inside of the top of the case tho, not the bottom. unless you want a pedal "step" instead of a pedal "board"

>>127339759
>Story?
Without saying too much, I have access to an old elementary school that was built in the early 1900's and is currently being used for storage. I'm set up in the gymnasium. At some point they built a metal sided warehouse that can be seen through the opening in my second image onto the end of it, but the gym itself still remains mostly brick and iron. I've been itching to get in here and jam because it will be filled up with junk sooner rather than later. The missus and 3 of her friends planned to go to the lake to see her parents, and I didnt feel like riding in a car with 4 women for 3 hours. So I came here instead.

>>127340008

When I try to do the Hendrix chord thing with thumb on the bass note like

3x543x
or
3x5433

I find it pretty uncomfortable and there's really no way for me to do it without getting the guitar neck right in the palm of my hand with no gap, making the twiddly little double stop hammer-on hendrix-isms pretty impractical and uncomfortable, if not downright impossible while holding that bass note down, such as

3x5435
3x545x
3x553x
3x523x
3x553x

Meanwhile, the thumb on the bass note works pretty well for basic "jazz voicings" (7th chords) like

5x555x
5x565x
5x665x
5x554x

though most jazzers tend to not do the thumb over thing.

>>127337762
I'm on his 3rd video now. 3 hours of talking later...

I have got smarter though and turned the speed up to 1.25x. 1.5x is too fast.

I am learning stuff though. But now it should exponentially improve. After video 1 you feel like playing in busy road traffic. Video 2 is a bit better and you don't want to slice your wrists anymore...

>>127340552

>>127340549
>making the twiddly little double stop hammer-on hendrix-isms pretty impractical and uncomfortable, if not downright impossible while holding that bass note down
Just practice. I jump back and forth between regular bar chords and thumb over style depending on how much hammer on pinkying/7/9/sus chords I want to do. It’s equally comfortable either way and it’s just a matter of what works for what your trying to do that that point in the song. Just keep practicing. Doing it thumb over you’re gonna have your palm really pressed up against the neck with little to no gap

>>127340549
i find that if your fingers stretch out kinda diagonally, rather than straight up and down across the frets it helps, but its just a thing you need to get used to

>>127337984
I have no idea wtf he's doing.

>>127338291
Have you tried this already? Like right now hum random notes in your mind or out loud and then try and chase/match them on the fretboard. It will probably not be an easy experience at first. But the more you do it the easier it will get because your brain is starting to make connections for where the notes are laid out. It helps to learn what a chromatic scale is to start with. Everything has a sharp or flat except between BC and EF. Learn your fretboard and it all starts to make a bit of sense.

>there's really no way for me to do it without getting the guitar neck right in the palm of my hand with no gap
that is how he did it
you just need big hands

im looking at my hand rn when i do it and >>127340597 is right
my hand is basically positioned in a way where my fingers are wrapping around diagonally, and my palm is diagonal along the back of the neck. the only thing i might add is that the only actual part of my palm thats touching the neck is the "ball" of my pointer finger.

but i might just have a larger cock than you, and that might be the whole problem. in which case, i cant help

Perhaps a harmonica is in your future then? It's cool too you know. The videos I've seen on how to play it seem very simple. There's hope yet that you can be in a band and score pussy. Drummers get laid too. Bass players get sloppy seconds though.

youre doing it backwards man
understand music
theres only 12 notes
guitar is just a (relatively opaque and cumbersome) way to play music. no one "understands" guitar. they just understand how to play music on guitar. its different

the thing that, imo, makes guitar such a poor first instrument is the fact that theres like half a dozen ways to play any given note.
any other instrument is like a thousand times easier to learn theory on, because it doesnt have that problem. piano being probably the best one as its so easy to visualize

Yup your instruments are trash and that's why you can't put the thumb on the string, Fender is an outdated brand that makes outdated models. cute larp, try not getting yourself killed with your toys

>>127340857

I can do that just fine though, I do it more than normal bar chords. I still do it Hendrix style with my wiener more than any other style though

is sunburst a boomer finish?

it's a GOOD finish

You wish somebody’s son would burst all over your face don’t you faggot?

>>127340911
sunburst is timeless

What is it that makes Cliffs of Dover considered to be extremely difficult? Genuine question.
Also not doubting it just to be clear, just confused that it is regularly named even by very skilled guitarists where other (to my noob ears) very difficult+popular pieces are not.

>>127340890
hendrix is a clown that did a lot of damage, boomer music is shit and hendrix is the worst of the worst, literally just a black bob dylan

I will post a practice tip that does help a lot. Practice in the dark. Forces you to actually learn your shit instinctually. Muscle memory like. At first you'll be like a puppy wearing booties on its feet fucking up all the time. But then it magically gets easier once you get your eyes out of the equation and rely on your ears and finger memory. Don't forget to sing tout loud the notes at the right pitches too in gobbley goo child speak. Doo doo dee dee dum dah. But seriously, try practicing in the dark on your bed sometime. It will change your perspective. It's how musicians can close their eyes and just ride the vibe in their brain and just know where their fingers go from years of practice.

Most boomer finish of all

>>127340987
He made them let him finish. I mean he is all bold as love, just ask the axis

>>127340933
depends, the main riff is kinda tough if you don't know how to swing, the rhythmic feel might be a bit alien to rock players.
the actual hard part is all the quick runs later in the song, some of the cascading pentatonic stuff. he just played it really cleanly so thats what people are aiming for

>>127340987
He's black, it's like a 3rd arm or kickstand. He probably tried putting it back in his pants and got accused of assault clubbing them with it.

that shit is as old as rock and roll basically

I'm not a huge kiss fan so I didn't know about that lyric. Good on you for looking it up though. Takes you down a rabbit hole sometimes...

it's really distracting to watch a guy bust a nut over a pedal/amp/guitar

>>127341318
It’s really distracting watching a guy bust a nut period.

So, when I was better off, I had a Gibson Les Paul Studio Tribute in tobacco burst with 2 no cover humbuckers. It had a 3 way toggle, and the traditional four knobs. Dot inlays and no binding. I found that I just couldn't deal with its shape, until I put a smaller strap on it. I still ended up tossing it down a hallway in distress, where its headstock naturally snapped off. I tossed it over the fence, and saw it later mended and sold online. So kudos.

I also got a 3 colour sunburst Fender Player Telecaster that I loved. I tried to replace it with a white one, as I also smashed my first one, out of schizophrenic mania, but I got very depressed about my status and ego and that of those around me, as I live in a lower income facility. So I sold my recently purchased white Telecaster for about 35% of value to a pawn shop. I like the idea of someone getting a deal off of my choices.

In short, what I learned is that I love single coils, even though 60 cycle hum gets me down. I came really close to modding the guitar, but my life is sad & I often feel bad. So there.

I kind of want to go back to a Telecaster, and I want to see what a Goldtop P90 Les Paul is like, or I don't know. I've got a lot to think about at the humble age of 36.

>Picture is a guitar I want but have never tried.

p.s. I want to get really good, so I'm thinking of investing in some decent gear should I become financially stable again. I think those 20 watt Marshall Studio amps are tops.

In4 offset guitars plus one Tele for good measure.

Nobody outside this forum plays offsets. Offsets are considered toy guitars. Only Kurt Cobain played them and not because they were good

>>127341428
You should get into cigar box guitars if you want some fun. There is a whole side of the Guitar-net that you probably didn't know existed. To start:
https://cigarboxnation.com/

I then stumbled upon Justin Johnson playing a shovel and ya...never looked back.

I don't know what an offset guitar is

>>127341519

For some eye candy, watch Samantha Fish play a 4 string to Bulletproof.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEWAo0x7uUM

>>127341522
Believe you me, I've looked into those cigar box thingers. I've even done some theremin work.

My first guitar was a GRB Kokocaster, which I didn't like. Super thin neck and heavy body with poorly matched pickups and an off brand bigsby without a nice spring. My second guitar was an Epiphone ES-335 Pro in Natural, that I would play through a Vox AC4C1-BL. I lent them to a friend and he stored them at a friend of his's place, and they got tossed out after a flood. So I was on the hunt for a new guitar, and I wound up buying a 1996 Made in Japan Fender Jaguar in 3 colour sunburst. I really liked its vibrato unit, and it's through the Jaguar that I really got to love flatwound 11s.

I want to play Standard really well, so that I can like, do call and response stuff by ear or whatever. I'm thinking about renting gear from the local Long & McQuade, but I'm also trying something on a sabbatical.

>attached is a Canadian guitar I might want to own

>>127341522
im convinced "muh quality wood" is the biggest psyop in all of guitar
coolest sounding guitar i ever had was made of plywood. and not even that much plywood

For electrics yes, it's pretty much bullshit. For acoustics, no, definitely not. It makes a huge difference. I have an Ovation and trust me, space age fiberglass doesn't sound like a Martin or quality Washburn or Taylor at all no matter what you plug it into.

i used to use 13s when i used flatwounds
does it still have a wound g? seems like it would be a bit small

>>127341731
Yeah, the G is wound.

>>127341681
Don't forget to go to some pawn shops or cash converters. It's always fun to see what you can find. It all could be shit but there's that chance you find your diamond at an affordable price range. Trade them something for it and walk out happy on budget.

Why did Clapton call it his cream? What's wrong with him.

Good thinking. I will take a peak.

>>127341722
There's a guy I know who made a guitar out of pallet wood. For a hobby. If you didn't know it was pallet wood you'd have no idea. I mean the neck was a store bough addon but he can make necks too. For an electric I go for lightness, not brand. An electric sound is brought out by the pickups, strings and amp settings. If you watch that Justin Johnson playing the shovel and then going down that road a bit, you can see it's not so much about the wood, or guitar...it's about the player and the amp tweaks. He plays a one string guitar and it sounds amazing. Don't get hung up on brand. This isn't a pair of jeans or a cellphone. YOU make the guitar sing.

funny how that works

>>127341831
Yup! Exactly. I really liked how he used nail heads cut off as fretboard inlaid markers/dots. I laughed and am like you're a fucking genius man.

I think every kid in high school shop class should have to make a guitar as a graduate project. It could be like this pallet wood stuff or it could be a cigarbox guitar but just actually build something and figure out the electronics aspect too. It will take you down a path of musical satisfaction that no Gibson or Fender can ever bring you no matter how much money you put into it. Don't get me wrong, I love expensive quality guitars, but it's not e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.

>>127340933
Eric Johnson's music in general is difficult to approach for many guitarists I think mainly because of the shreddy rhythmic displacement pentatonic stuff (5 over 4, and such) and spread voiced chords. I think most guys know barre chords and kinda stop there and can't into open triads and the like. Also he hybrid picks some stuff like the pedal point intro thing in Cliffs of Dover, which theoretically makes it easier to play but many don't use that as their default technique and probably struggle with understanding where to apply it.

You just have to get good at shit flinging back. Life is like that unfortunately. Today you may even by talking to a bot/chatGTP entity for all one knows.

Last post about the Bigsby. Took it to another guitar shop, chatted with another person for an hour while one person worked on the guitar. He said this is the best clearance he could get, and it should have no issues. If you get one of these, try to aim for this at the bridge.

I never find any half decent music gear at garage/yard/estate sales.

I had reversed the bridge this morning to see if I could get clearance without it hitting anything. I couldn't. I also added a tiny bit more relief. When that didn't help, I gave up and went. He flipped the bridge around and intonated it. I didn't think to do that. Action is still 1.55mm on both sides, but I might raise the low E side a little cause I still get buzzing frets at 5, 6 and 7. I told him the g was buzzing, but when he played it, he didn't hear anything. It's still there, but I'm thinking it's not the nut. I think I just need a string tree. It's more of a ring than a buzz. I'll live with it for now. Luckily the guy didn't charge me.

Smart move from him. If you’re happy with his work then he got himself a customer if you ever need to go back for anything.

I think I might try one of these three string trees. He said he died think it was a nut issue and just how it was strung on the tuner, but I couldn't get it any lower.

For me, the intervals thing was a game changer. I was faintly aware of the 5ths setup for strings but by knowing E and A up to the 12th fret, I can extrapolate notes on the other 4 strings and lay down modes in different keys.

>>127341681
My buddy wants to trade me a partscaster tele but it's a heavy PoS. On the other hand... tele

>>127344030
yeah i think intervals are the way to go for learning music theory and fretboard. that's what i did on bass and it works great but im trying to learn guitar completely by ear. i feel like learning music theory made improvising or just playing by feel harder. its almost like a security gate that your mind has to pass through subconsciously every time you try to play something

>>127342516
Steal it

>>127344099
>eqs all the differences out of your guitars
nothing personnel

Let me guess, you need more?

>>127344089
>i feel like learning music theory made improvising or just playing by feel harder
lol no youre just being dumb
would being able to write english make you worse at reading english? or vice versa?
prolly not
learning music theory doesnt mean you cant just be retarded again at will. its actually even better because then you can frame your moments of voluntary retardation with parts that are all by the books. so then everyone will just think youre some crazy experimental genius or whatever, when in actuality youre just fucking around half the time

agree about the intervals tho
if you can pick out intervals by ear, and pick out chord qualities by ear, you can basically figure out anything, given enough time.
after learning basic scales and rhythms, imo you should learn intervals and then how to build/identify chords. because thats the stuff you can actually start applying it to your playing immediately

>>127344030
Cool. Glad to hear you got a connection out of it. Have you finished the whole series? Or are you still going through it?

oh yah we need nu thread
i dont have the pasta

>>127344170
many top level players have said the same thing. that either learning music theory did not benefit them as players or that they had to actively unlearn the things they were taught at music school. jake eddy and jack bruce are two players that immediately come to mind. i'm not saying you can't learn theory and still be able to play just that playing by ear makes you a better musician

but someone already had a new thread and didnt advertise it

>>127344244
yea and its just as dumb when smart ppl say it too, and its a real shame that they do, because everyone repeats it as if its real. its not.
the way everyone ITT is learning theory (by yourself, and via applying it to shit you actually like) is fundamentally different from how it is in school. and ime, infinitely superior in basically every conceivable way. the aforementioned "it actually being fun/applicable" is a big one, but its far from the only one.

youre not getting your knuckles smacked by some stupid 70yo bitch teacher with a ruler who only enjoys bach and thinks everything else is satanic. youre not being brainwashed that bachs 400yo rule set on harmony (that he doesnt even follow himself all the time) is unbreakable. youre not getting taught that the only way to practice is to sit in a room alone and grind sheet music. youre not getting forced to sit through 300yrs of music history you dgaf about to get to the stuff that matters.
everything thats kinda shit and maybe possibly detrimental about learning theory, comes from the way its taught in schools/conservatories. not the actual knowledge itself.

>just that playing by ear makes you a better musician
and thats the only reason im schizoposting this rn. is cuz ur half right, and half just hopelessly stupid in the same statement.
how do you think you get rly rly rly good at playing by ear?
how would you tell someone to come meet you somewhere if you didnt know where you were? youd wander around a bit, try to find some landmarks, then try to explain that to your buddy. or you could just know where you are and give him the address.
now think of that in regards to music. your bassist changes key. if you train yourself enough, youll literally just hear it and be able to react almost instantly. without that prior knowledge, you might have to look over, check what frets hes on etc.
its literally just an inefficient way to do the same thing

once you gain this knowledge and internalize it, youre not sitting there thinking about the #4 in the lydian mode during your solo, or composition, or whatever. youre just doing it. and youre doing faster than anyone ever could just by guessing and checking. and youll have multiple reference points you can fall back on. youre not just stuck thinking "yea im on the 7th fret rn, i think its minor", because you already know youre in B dorian, because you can just hear it.
additionally theres also the communication aspect. music is a very abstract medium. having a way to clearly communicate those abstractions to others trained in it is literally only a benefit, and saves a TON of time

gonna put some warpigs in my ibanez gio
