Are G&L guitars really jsut better than fender?

>>127358786
Nah.

>>127358786
fender and all their glib facsimiles are the same level of garbage

Is there anything more obsequious than the facade of a glib facsimile in a foyer?

should i get a quad gaytex or one of those line gay helix things? I'm after the marshall tone, should i just get an amp? a JCM2000 is half the price of a quad fagtex and i dont even know how to use the fagtex or hugegay6 helix watever.

How do you even get a marshall tone out of one of those faggy things anyway?

i have much more expensive guitars but my mexican strat just feels nice to play and i dont have to stress about hiding it in a case so i can leave it on a stand, ready to grab at a moments notice

get a plexi or a jcm800 reissue
modelling sucks
900/2000 sounds like numetal shit

>>127359006
they could have gotten rid of that neck pickup and added a couple more frets

>>127359023

The 2000 is half the price of the 800 on the used market.

Lots of people saying you need to crank amps to get the effects and I don't have the living situation to do that as a bedroom player.

Sometimes I go to Guitar Center just to steal the picks

>>127359023
If they extend the neck by doing that, does that turn the humbucker into a neck or bridge pickup?

Wait for the new helix stadium. It will have a new agoura jcm800 model on launch that is more responsive and better sounding than anything currently on the market.

>>127360260
It’s going to have the jcm800, 1959 plexi, as well as like 25 other iconic amps. Ac30, fender twin, baseman, etc. why limit yourself to one Marshall with a dogshit clean channel when you could have any pedal, blend any head, use any clean tone you want, etc all for less weight and more durability than a real tube head. Tubes are obsolete.

People like loud af because they physically feel the sound and at a threshold they become numb to their own shitty playing. There are a number of ways to get the volume down that would make fuck all difference on a mic, but they won't like it for 1000 other excuses. Just keep selling them gear and shut up about it.

>>127360296
>gayer series

>>127360296
Fender ruined their new guitars when they went from mexican and american standard, deluxe, etc to "Player, Ultra Professional, etc." It just sounds like dogshit. Nobody knows what the fuck the difference is between the models and player series sounds like a more expensive squier. They also made the guitars considerably more expensive and worse quality. Who wants to own a 1000 dollar guitar called a "player series" that is made in mexico and has shitty second rate pickups. At least the inspired by Epiphones have real gibson USA hardware and try to give you some inherent value in their chinese guitars. Fuck fender.

Not like your a player anyway

>>127360296
made it better

>>127360441
The Chinese are at least capable of producing high quality instruments with top notch woods and electronics. Mexicans suck at everything they manufacture. The fact that fender USA is 20 miles from the Mexican border and employs mainly Mexicans means that USA fenders might as well be Mexican. At least with chinesium guitars you know if they don’t make it right it affects their social credit. Mexicans simply do not care.

The Chinese are perfectly capable of producing top-of-the-line instruments. It's just that Chinese culture also has this element of what we in the West would call conniving selfishness, and if you get fucked over by a factory who told you one thing then sold you another, then that's on you. The idea that a business "partner" will be honest and work toward mutually beneficial ends is part of Western culture.

Anyone have experience with intonation on an ABR1-style bridge? It seems like you'd have to remove the strings to get a screwdriver in there. What's the secret, or is that just how you have to do it?

>>127362554
you never should be adjusting intonation with full tension on the string
but you can angle a flathead in there if you want to ignore me

Dude with the bigsby telecaster here. Unfortunately, I'm gonna return it as more issues have cropped up. Sweetwater said I could get a new guitar with store credit. It was $524.99. Can anyone recommend anything? Should I just get the standard 60's American Vibe Classic?

lol... if you want a tele yeah get another cv tele. if you plan on upgrading it in the future you could shell out an extra $50 and get the fender standard. my standard p bass was equivalent quality to my cv's but ymmv

>>127361754
Everyone did. Kids like you are lost and cutting off your cocks because you don't know good music and you can't create anything new and original on your own. Not even with your AI or Autotune. Sucks to be you kiddo. No wonder everyone makes fun of ya.

When you look at yourself in the mirror tonight, punch yourself in the face for me, k, thx, bye.

>>127363768
I liked the 60s vibe, if you wait a bit there should be a labor day sale and you might get more bang for your buck.

>>127363813
No, no, no, I said that I wanted to get another guitar from them, then they said they could just give me store credit to do that. I live like an hour away from the nearest guitar shop, and it was the guy that scammed me on a set up. They don't have dick there. I had to travel further to the other place. And I had to ask someone to take me as I don't drive for medical reasons. I know how to set up a guitar, problem is it seems like the neck is warped.

fyi they haven't refunded anything yet because I'm thinking about it overnight. They also said they could send me the same model, but to be honest, I kinda want something simpler to set up at this point.

>>127359683
The neck dive makes that guitar dive faster than your mom when she sees my buldge.
At most, get a used epi to play and see if you even like it, then go on for a full SG.

Maybe SGs are meant to be down low. The neck is where it's meant to be.

>>127363879

Without question the gayest music space on /gg/.

>>127362554
What a bunch of bullshit. Why does this exist? Why not just use one perfectly fine mechanism (the one where the screw is behind the bridge)? That also applies to stuff like truss-rod adjustment opening, multi-string saddles (like those awful Tele saddles) where you can't adjust the intonation for each string separately, etc. Why do companies insist on using their own inferior shit instead of just using good and tested solutions?

>>127364708
Okay so on those faguar coils, are those strat coils with those teeth around them, or their own kind of coil (like the tele's tall/thin neck pickup) that makes it sound different?

>>127364749
Claw, winding and geometry are all different. Plus scale length also makes a difference in the Jag's sound.

No it isn’t, post your shit all you want. What’s gay is complaining about other people posting guitar images in a guitar thread on an image board, that’s mega turbo homogay.

Where should I start if I want to learn the guitar
>inb4 op
Just checking if it is relevant since on some generals it doesn’t always contain the best info or is bloated.

A bit of background. I have some theoretical knowledge and shit ear skill. Want to possibly develop also being able to figure out some tune from popshit and be able to play it as well as maybe improvise and maybe play with other people. Want to have some routine I can do daily and throughout the day whenever I have a few moments which will improve my music skills.

>>127365291
who are you quoting? no one said that

>>127365332
This OP is bloated bit the justinguitar and absolutey understand guitar vids are legitimately good

>>127365332

and it is the common shape I use for when the root is on the second or 4th string, not the most comfortable but it is versatile

this chord doesn't sound very good but it's easy to play. unlike that Fm7 that guy posted that was fingered 1x234

>>127365045
No, he talks a LOT like a LOT LOT but if you can stay alive and awake for 33-34 hours of your life doing NOTHING BUT watching these videos they are worth it. Soooo, just break it down into smaller chunks and watch them on 1.25 speed. 1.5x is a bit too fast but doable if you concentrate.

The PDF layout and fonts used are total dogshit though. Next time get a volunteer graphic designer FFS to do it for their portfolio or references! But they contain everything he talks about. The words and ramblings so they're kind of important. If they were professionally laid out then worth buying @ 19.95USD. You don't really need it since the videos are all free on YouTube. $19.95 to him as a thank you for putting in all that hard work into the videos is worth it though so think of it in those terms.

>>127365526

>avoid memorizing 50 specific chord shapes
Ok. I’m guessing this is because the chords can be made in several ways but isn’t knowing some standard ones helpful?
Also I heard people say to learn all the notes on the fretboard, I’m guessing that that is sound advice, right?

>>127365585
Justin guitar

>>127365585
I mean nobody said anything about being mindless. But usually learning scales I know is an exercises that is usually done on piano, or progressive sight reading exercises, so aren’t there things like that here?

>>127365599
>learn all the notes on the fretboard
you don't need actually do this intentionally
if you know the notes in TET, you just need to know enough notes on the fretboard that you can just count up and down a fret or two from each to know which each note is. eventually that will organically turn into knowing most of the notes on the fretboard.

>>127365599
tony polecastro is a great teacher; it doesn't matter how good someone can play if they're a bad teacher. watch some of his videos to see if his learning style resonates with you. by his own admission he says his courses are designed for people who just want to log in, spend 20 minutes on a lesson and not have to think about what to practice every day and get them playing music asap instead of doing technique drills for weeks before even strumming a chord. he has a youtube channel under the same name just look at some of the sample lessons. justin guitar is good too but he's only an average teacher in my opinion

>>127365599
>Also I heard people say to learn all the notes on the fretboard
I know how to figure out what note is on the fretboard, but I can't tell you INSTANTLY what 9th note on the 4th string is

>>127365623
you talked enough buddy, at the end of the day find something you want to play and get it done

>>127365636
also you should really narrow down what you want to play. if you know you want to play finger style i honestly wouldn't even ever bother learning to play with a pick and find a course built around that.

Hey guys I have an Epiphone EB 0 bass, pretty much pic related, and I want to do have it modded out. I love the way the neck feels stock and I dig the SG shape but there are definite improvements that can be done. What do ya'll think of these upgrades?

Hipshot Supertone Bridge (Stock bridge is awful, doesn't allow for individual string setup)
Hipshot Ultralite Tuners (neck dive fix to some degree)
916 Neo EB pickup (more articulate and less muddy than stock by far)
Graphtech Tusq/Tusq XL nut (to replace the crappy plastic one)

After the upgrades I want to get it refinished in a nice dark British Racing Green. What do ya think /gg/? What would be the optimal order to get these mods done in?

>>127365765
Couldn't tell ya hoss, I just play the damn thing

>>127365677
LISTEN TO THIS ADVICE! You kinda have to decide one day where you want to focus your attention. There are styles like slide guitar (blues generally), fingerstyle guitar (more classical but not just limited to that - blues has a lot of fingerstyle guitar. Anything can be made modified into fingerstyle guitar with effort). And figure out your music genre...Rock, Metal, Country, Blues, Folk, etc...there are lots. And focus on that STYLE of learning. There is no magic method to get you good at all styles.

In the end, you just have to pick up the guitar regularly and noodle. Train your hands, brain and ears and try to not rely upon your eyes so much. They slow you down.

It's a lifelong addiction man. If you get addicted like all of us, it will be with you for life. Most people quit though. Their instruments just collect dust. Their money pissed away...

So it's up to you. What you got bro?

>>127365783
I play every day for at least an hour lol! I just want to treat myself to something nice and I have a sentimental attachment to the bass as well as really enjoying it for what it is. Pic rel is the color I'm looking at getting it refinished in.

>>127365291
What's gay is not knowing how to quote while taking said quote out of context

>>127365765
YES to bridge upgrade, EB bridges suck
Yes to pickup upgrade
Maybe on the nut? Have someone experienced do that
No on the tuners, the weight won't be that different unless they're locking tuners

>>127365838
I wish you luck, you got this you seem to know what you're doing.

>>127365789
Like your passion lad! I just want to focus on the basics to start off with. First goal is to be able to figure out popshit by ear then I’ll hopefully have more knowledge to know where to go. All those you listed might be an option with the exception of country lol sorry cowboys.

Yeah I know it’s the little you do everyday that counts thats why I wanted to get some structure cause otherwise I just waste time doing unproductive things.

Gonna get my explorer re-painted and neck changed to satin hopefully by the end of the month. Also will change the bridge rings to chrome rings. Gonna look SICK

Need it or keep it

>>127365891
Whoa, Explorer is a rare sight. Very nice.

>>127365854
There's really not that much weight to be saved on the tuners? That's a bummer. I might just do them anyways because the stock ones look like giant elephant ears. Seriously, things are massive, and I prefer a Y-shape to clover in general.

>>127365905
nah

>>127365871
I do think JustinGuitar is great for newbs. He's a likable guy and funny, personable. I think you'd enjoy his teachings. But yes, you need structure. I'd personally pay for his courses through his website as they are structured there from ground zero and progress accordingly. He doesn't talk out his ass and bore you.

His stuff is available online if you know where to look. YouTube if full of stuff too but again, no structure and random. Not good. To get yourself out of bed everyday and into a routine, I'd spend the money for a few months via his website. It's not like you're forced to being in it longterm or anything. But you won't be a great guitar player after 30 days. So give it a few months. But start with 30 days. See how you do.

Get a stress ball to build up your left hand (squishing it while watching TV or something). It helps build hand strength, yours will get sore at first. You're going to get sore fingers too until you build up calluses on your left hand. It's the right of passage for playing guitar...

>>127365650
Then what skill have you learned on the guitar?
>talked enough
That’s not helpful.
I don’t have something to play that is easy enough nor do i see how it will help. Give some songs if you have instead.

>>127365871
PS, I posted a link in /wsr/ for a much more traditional structured course. It's kind of an abortion laid out on that page on purpose. But it is a structured, proven method...but it's traditional music notation based. It's kind of hard. But kids do it and if they can do it, you can do it too. It's NOT JustinGuitar. But it is a well respected and proven traditional method.

>>>/wsr/1536382

>>127365909
you can save a ton of weight with hipshot uktralite tuners. if you want to end your neck dive just get a 5" wide strap. i think the HUL tuners feel a little too cheap for my tastes. they are mostly plastic. i have a gibson sg bass

>>127365909
Lighter tuners won't hurt but a better fix is a leather underside strap with lots of grip
Some people even move the strap button to the headstock to stop dive

>>127365926
Yeah I know it will take a while, was trying to learn intervals using a site but was mot making progress and then tried to search for how people do it and saw people arguing about the method so I knew I needed basically a workout routine laid out for me.

>stressball
Lol might as well just mess around on the guitar at that point, that’s the great thing about it that you can just have it with you anywhere. Could just practice while on the toilet and make progress that way lol.
>>127365971
I’ll have a look. Could mix them with other things when I get bored. What do you mean by abortion?

>>127366007
I've heard of moving the button to the top horn but never to the headstock, that seems extreme! But yeah, my current strap while nice is not one of those super grippy uncured leather ones that I've heard people raging about. Any recommendations for strap brands?

>>127366037
the older fenders have a hootenanny button. i think this is because the country artists used guitars that didn't have a strap button and used a lanyard around the headstock so they wanted to match

>>127366019
>re: abortion
The linked to thread I posted.

I'm posting links to pirated material others put online. It's not really well regarded to do that so I'm not making it easy for anyone to get that course. Have to work for it kind of thing...

There are easier ways to obtain those ebooks. Individual books. Annas-archive dot org. That is all I'll say about that. I bought mine, individually.

>>127366037
this is like the martin d18 of bass straps. everyone has one

>>127366070
for me, it's the hoedown post

Some simple routines.

>Mechanical practice
Spider exercise, 4 notes per string, let each note ring into the next, alternate pick if using a pick. Go up and down, reverse it. Once this is simple start skipping strings.

>Ear training
Hum a random note and then play it on your guitar, play a random note on your guitar and hum it, this syncs your hands to your brain you'll eventually be able to find any pitch fast just like you can hum any pitch you want without really thinking about it.

>Theory
Learn major, minor, pentatonic and blues.
Learn all 5 boxes of the pentatonic and you can literally play 99.99% of guitar.

>>127366112
That's a dope strap. Could play all day with that sucker I bet.

>>127366117
no this here's a hootenanny

>>127366159
hoedown!

>>127365933
>Then what skill have you learned on the guitar?
well I initially learned to play a few of the songs I liked until I realized that only memorizing songs does not mean you know music
if you want to hear a sad song I can play you one, if you want a brighter one I can play it, if you want a melancholic one I can play, if you want a scarry song I can play it for you. But usually I get bored after 10-15 minutes and switch the mood and practice
it doesn't get any simpler than that for me
I can get all technical and say that I know how to get all the chord progressions and notes for all the 7 modes of the diatonic scale starting on any root note but it's disingenuous, I just practice what sound I like
also practicing now speed drills to increase my lead guitar capability

>>127365933
>Give some songs if you have instead.
find a song YOU like first

first songs I ever learned were these ones, they are good beginner tunes

>>127366125
I like this post. Agreed!

>>127366125
Noooooice.
I’ve already been doing that ear training, along with playing a note humming it and then humming the next semi tone up or tone or humming along a whole chord and then playing the last note to see how close I was.
>spider
I’ll look it up
>theory
What do you mean by learn those scales? Like practice them up and down on the guitar? Do you get good at jumping into a scale at a random note by doing that cause it seems like you’d just get good at the sequence, if you get what I mean.

>>127366191
practice them up and down at first to memorize them, then play them musically, pick a few of your favorite notes from the scale and only play those.
I don't really practice my scales up and down anymore I really swing them and jumble them.
Once you have all the basics learned you can mix and match them depending on your mood if you are improvising. Some of the coolest solos mix major and minor.

>>127363809
Those guitars probably feel sticky

>>127366386
Sorry to interrupt your conversation here...but keep in mind, you're learning a new language from scratch. Music is a language of communication through sound via your hands and brain.

It's very hard to learn another spoken language quickly without first understanding that languages alphabet. Forming and knowing words which have relevant context and meaning. How to form them into sentences to tell a story. Then conversations.

Anyhow, music and specifically guitar, is learning to speak and write and think and hear and understand a new language. It's going to take time to figure it all out. A parrot or monkey that's memorized stuff is still useful when you're trying to understand what you're doing. A baby mimics at first until they can speak. Then they learn to read. Then write.

If you understood the music you were playing at a theoretical level (why they chose those chords in the song (the progression), how to finger those chords. Why are they playing the notes they're playing in the solos and the melody for example. How are those chords formed...

Anyhow you get what I'm putting down here. You're going to be a monkey or parrot for a while. It's totally fine. Only a full course and practice will start to link all this stuff together into something that makes you a good guitar player.

OK, I'll shut up now. Good luck man. Guitar is a fun ride...

Echoing >>127365045, I put it on at 1.5x in the background but just seeing the lesson where he takes you to the keyboard to see the different scales LAID OUT on the keyboard, to explain WHY every other scale is downstream of Ionian C, BECAUSE of the half-steps baked into the western music system (the keys without black keys between them) really opened my eyes.
That and the caged video, it's an hour video but beat the hell out of the samjamguitar video on caged and made me understand basic barre chords and their derivatives better.
Disclaimer: I'm only on lesson 24 and stuck memorizing the mode patterns and fretboard rn

I hate being a guitar hoarder
I should still be using the Yamaha Pacifica I got for Christmas all those years ago, it was enough but I got greedy and now I have a house full of dusty, embarrassing shitplanks and dirt pedals

like .10

>>127367059
about 5. haha i always try to eat the last one but my tummy is a bit too full. i'll put it in a ziploc bag with the cheese mustard and bun (everything) and the next day boil it in a small pot for 45 mins with some water and barbecue sauce and that's the "chili" for my next batch of hot dogs haha

that sounds pretty good on a hotdog

just had my first string snap after a year and a half of playing

>>127367156
M'kay well lets just say for an average, take your whole week and try to figure out what your daily amount would be.

>>127367427
Does it sound alright, even though it doesn't have laquer which allows the tone to breathe?

Oh hey I prestiged in rocksmith+ finally.

>>127367888
well the melody may be wrong but this is the rhythm. some people write a rest note on the second hit of the triplet but it's not being muted here. the backbeats aren't being swung either

>>127367925
bro the rhythm is completely wrong too. i don't care how you write it on paper, it's not how it's played in the song.

>>127367976
ok but for the record i was only referring to the voca in isolation

>>127367720
5/4

>>127367720
IDK couldn't tell ya i just play by ear

God I wish women with such fat thighs were real

How do you motivate yourself playing the guitar if it's a dead instrument? Rock music is over, metal is over and you only hear a guitar here and there in some overmixed pop songs.

As a teen the guitar was my life, the dream of playing in a band and earning my money that way. I saw myself on huge stages. But the future was different.

>>127366547
Was it you that I was replying to? Based hellsing soundtrack enjoyed lol i actually tried to figure out the notes of that track and I failed completely, that’s something that I feel like is a skill if actually knowing music.
I’ve actually tried to learn harder pieces, like
https://youtu.be/_nByvrXxmDc
But I felt it was complicated and didn’t know what I could’ve learned from it.

>>127366552
The point you’re making is that I should also do something besides be a monkey, like try to figure out the song and the chords and progressions. But that’s something you have to do actively, just like you have to actively try to understand language as you’re learning it, no use just copying text from a place to another. So I’m basically asking for that other stuff, if I learn the pieces what else do I do.
