I have up to $10k to spend on a vintage acoustic for fingerpicking. Which ones should I look for?
Or should I spend it on guns instead

I fucking wish, unless you meant the reissue

>>127400790
hot take i really prefer tymynskis version over everyone else's. it's more bluesy and depressing

Epiphone is good enough in 2025

it's up

>>127400824
kek

>>127400822
I like their current higher-end acoustics. The MIJ Elite/Elitist line was god tier, but they sell for big bucks nowadays.

>>127400822
Epiphone is great, I actually respect the epiphone player more on default. most time I see someone with a Gibson I judge them hard, most don't deserve it or they're posers and playing tributes

Whoa

Top two gayest things I've ever seen in /gg/:
1. the Gibson and Schecter headstocks fitting exactly together
2. boomers buying the same brand cigarettes as their fav guitar player, and blowing the smoke inside the cases of vintage guitars of the same model those players had

>>127401042
that's my first time composing my own music, it's also meant to be chill, it's for a specific purpose. I've dabbled in playing system of a down, and grima, it's fun but I have all nylon guitars and still favor that. Some artists I like, like fleshgod apocalypse and igorrr use classical guitar, and I'll play those parts too.

ynpr

>>127401074
Yeh buster, I'll let you off with a warning this time but next unfunny joke you tell its straight to the pokey. If you ruin my /gg/ I will fuck you like a pig you here me?

>>127401081
Thats fair, but that doesn't stop you from playing rock and roll.
On a side note I only know of one Igor and he has no problems playing rock and roll on a nylon.

Just keep that same energy cuh

When I was a kid I didn't have a tuner
you would grab a reference E from a toy casio keyboard, a CD, or more likely you just tune it to itself
I knew multiple peers who played guitar or bass, not a single one with a tube amp. all through high school and even into college. the best you'd see was a marshall valvestate half stack
people didn't use pedals because the amps built in distortion (marshall valvestate) literally sounds way better than any pedal
still does
nobody ever had a complaint about "fret ends" which is a completely imagined issue
elaborate pedalboards were not a thing anybody but a professional touring guitar player would have

DONT WASTE MONEY ON LESSON PLATFORMS
Use Youtube tutorials and ChatGPT to build an instructional foundation for yourself
ChatGPT can create lesson plans and even walk you through lessons that advance at whatever pace you wish.

https://chatgpt.com/share/689ecea8-9028-800f-8eca-45046d6d19ac

Don't fall for the AI hate. It's not 100% accurate but its good enough for things like this, Humanity has never had such power of information before.

>>127401190
there really is no excuse to flounder in 2025

and chatgpt is the stupid one? lol

>>127401290
Its really bad, its way too much too soon with no actual focus on anything that goes together in a coherent manner, its just all over the place. The tabs are complete dog ass and just flat out wrong. You've been getting the same advice here forever now of play to a fucking jam track so you can learn to lock in and actually musically apply what you learned so what you learn has context.
I'm not gonna keep going because I don't need to, but its not my bias, its objective reality. Fucking cope and cry about it or present something that isn't dogshit.

>>127401328
It's not too much too soon, it's what i asked for in the prompt
if you want a different lesson plan give it a different criteria
dumbass

>>127401332
even if thats the case its irrelevant to the point. The information its giving you is poisoned and if you truly didn't know any better you wouldn't even realize. The problem with beginners is they don't know what they want. Thats where a human being comes in, because they can't prompt themselves. So if a beginner blindly follows whatever shitgpt churns out they are going to be wrong and just plainly and flat out.

>>127401347
I think a relatively intelligent person can figure out what they need to learn and what direction they want to go in by the time they're intermediate, between youtube and other internet sources. It's not hard.
Never once did I say a beginner should do this.
See I actually know quite a bit of theory and there's nothing flat-out wrong unless the tab is incorrect. The criteria I gave it were relatively arbitrary to see how well it could construct a plan that moved at the pace I asked for.
It's ability to get detailed and act as a day-to-day instructor, following the plan it had previously laid out, is just as impressive.
LLM's shouldn't be used to create but they can be used to regurgitate and that's all this is.
Don't let perfect become the enemy of good. AI is improving at an astronomical rate and it can already teach better than a lot of flyer-off-the-wall teachers.

What’s the deal with 4chan guitar schizos?
You ask a simple question“Which pickup should I use?”
and suddenly you’re reading a twelve-paragraph manifesto about coil-splitting, tonewoods, and how the Strat neck is secretly a conspiracy.
They’ve got charts, graphs, and diagrams
it’s like talking to a guy who’s been trapped in a Marshall amp for 20 years.
Every post ends with, “Only true players get it!”
I didn’t even know I was a fake guitarist!
And somehow, it always comes back to their homemade fuzz pedal.

>>127402551
jerry-poster is the most consistent thing about these threads

>>127400749
Invest in your sound. Way more important than the guitar. Get the 5150 and then swap the speaker with Celestion Greenbacks. Your fingerpicking will sound pro.

>>127402577
What’s the deal with Rick Beato?
The guy’s everywhere! You watch one video, suddenly you’re learning music theory, ear training, and the history of every chord known to mankind.
I just wanted to know how to play a G chord now I’m three videos deep and questioning my entire existence.
And he’s always so calm, so collected…
Meanwhile, I’m over here, my guitar’s out of tune, my cat’s on the amp,
and I still don’t know why the minor seven flat five exists!
And have you seen his “What Makes This Song Great” series?
You start with “Stairway to Heaven” and next thing you know, you’re analyzing jazz voicings in a death metal track!
It’s like he’s trying to break your brain… politely.

In the dead of night, under a waning moon, Paul Reed Smith crept into the cemetery where Leo Fender was buried. With a shovel in hand, he began to dig, his heart pounding with anticipation.

As he unearthed the coffin, he could hardly contain his excitement. He pried open the lid, revealing the decaying remains of the legendary guitar maker. With gloved hands, he carefully removed the bones, marveling at their strength and durability.

Back in his workshop, Smith set to work. He ground down the bones into fine powder, mixing it with epoxy resin. With great care, he molded the mixture into guitar nuts, each one infused with the very essence of Leo Fender himself.

As he installed the first nut onto a PRS guitar, he felt a surge of power course through him. The guitar seemed to come alive in his hands, its tone richer and more vibrant than ever before.

Smith knew that these bones held a special magic, a connection to the man who had revolutionized the guitar industry. And now, that magic would live on in every PRS guitar, forever immortalizing the legacy of Leo Fender.

Oh my God, I can’t watch that Rick Beato guy anymore.
I go to YouTube for a five-minute video on guitar tips
next thing I know, it’s two hours later and he’s explaining the harmonic overtone series like it’s the Da Vinci Code.
And he’s got this studio oh, it’s gorgeous!
Guitars on the wall, piano in the corner…
Meanwhile, I’ve got a keyboard that still has cupcake frosting between the keys.
And he’s so nice!
You can’t even be mad when he makes you feel stupid.
He’s like, “Now, obviously the Lydian mode is the most uplifting…”
and I’m sitting there thinking,
“I don’t even know what a mode is, Rick! I don’t even know if I’m in one right now!”

they get heavier the more tone they have

During World War II, a Jewish luthier named David Schneider was forced by the Nazis to craft a guitar made from the bones and skin of murdered Jews. Despite his revulsion, he completed the task to avoid execution. When presented to Hitler, the instrument produced an eerily beautiful sound. Impressed, Hitler freed David and provided him with a ticket to New York City. The guitar, infused with the souls of its victims, became a haunting symbol of the Holocaust's atrocities.

You need immersion therapy. Throw away all your sheet music & tabs. Learn everything by ear. Start off simple with children's nursery rhymes (Mary Little Lamb, etc.). The first ones will be tough and take weeks. Keep at it, eventually, you'll train yourself to only use your ear.

Michael Jackson and Brian Wilson had dads that cared. Your dad didn't do shit and you're never gonna hit numero uno because of it

>>127403040
Nah the best way to train your ear is to try to figure out songs and then go back and watch a lesson that way you learn what you missed. Like for years I didn’t realize that the second chord in the verse of plush by stone temple pilots is g flat over d, or that the chorus has an e augmented instead of an e5. Chords like that are extremely difficult to hear especially in a mix. Probably better to ear train with stems if possible.

Anyone a pianist here?
How do pianists sight read? Like do they see the intervals and then remember which notes are sharp or flat from the score or do they know not to press the natural keys when they go on the keyboard by remembering which notes are the ones in the scale?

>>127404026
Ok sure but the question is the same how they those other people do it?
I am asking how does the process of sight reading work, or get into their head. With guitar for examples you don’t have to worry about it since you don’t even read sheet music.

>>127404148
you can sight read sheet music on guitar. Your mind just remembers what each note looks like on the staff and your fingers remember where those notes are on the fretboard, it takes work, you learn how to read sheet music, you don't sight read at first, but when you've read and played a thousand pieces of music reading a sheet, it's like reading or typing your language is

Scotty West says his entire 32.5 hour course is useless without ear training. So if Yoda says so...I'm afraid it's useful. It's hard to play guitar without hearing music. Hard to play guitar without hands (though some people can play with their feet as hands), hard to read music without eyes (though some of the blind can play just by ear).You get the picture...

Practice. Here are twp free online games that makes learning musical notation fun. Protip, guitar music only uses the treble cleff. So you don't actually have to learn the bass cleff (though I would highly recommend it since it's not that much harder to learn.

Hint: The swirly part of the G (it's a fancy G symbol) of the treble clef circles the G line/G note. It's just alphabetical from line to space, line, space etc...You just have to figure out where to start. The bottom line is always an E so it goes E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F...on and on. So the first space is F. See the pattern? There can also be sharps or flats but those aren't too difficult to figure out because they have the sharp of flat symbol #/b in front of the note or after the clef itself.

Also there is a mnemonic for the lines that helps: Every Guitarist Benefits Doing Fingerstyle. The spaces spell FACE. There, you now know the basics of reading music minus rhythm (notes have time values - how long to play them, and rests which also have note values - how long not to play them).

>>127404173
>>127404360
Ok except I hear pianists don’t read every individual note but they read the intervals between them for speed

>>127404639
Here's a bunch of riffs to get you hooked. There are metal ones in there. Though it's personal taste as t what you'd consider metal, I would go with AC/DC Back in Black personally. I learned that as my first riff and song (I never learned the solo as a beginner but now I probably could).

>>127404679
only thing I ever did for speed was read ahead, piano is a mind fuck for me that they read treble and bass clef simultaneously

I made Rick Beato huge here

>>127404667
you COULD write it out as a key change but it would be clunky and make the sheet music more busy than it needs to be

compared to Major(ionian), Lydian and Mixolydian only have one sharp or flat difference. it just means for that chord, they're leaning on that one note change. seeing as the rest of the chord and melody still retain the sound on the original key, it doesn't sound dissonant, just a little mysterious. then they go straight back into the same key so it's just a quick nod or wink, musically speaking

>>127404451
Read this >>127404679
I know how to read the staff, the problems is speed. Like
> difficult to figure out because they have the sharp of flat symbol #/b in front of the note or after the clef itself.
Ok but do they like remember which lines are the sharps or flats on or do they just know the scale and they know from practicing scales what notes they are allowed to play in that scale or how does their mind work? For me for example I would read the staff to find the note and then would have to remind myself sometimes by replaying the scale to see if that note should be flat or sharp so ofc that going to be slow. So do people who got good do the same thing but faster and they know the scales better or do they straight up read the note the with the sharp cause they can keep track from the start of the line or what? Like if i made up a scale with some keys sharp and other flats and put that at the start of the staff would they be able to sight read it?

>>127404701
Yeah defo the clefs being different too, you might read one soo long that you get used to it and then forget to switch for the other one, like ffs.

>>127404667
the less you worry about theory the happier you'll be. I wish I could jugular slam adam neely into the concrete

>>127404732
Putting the sharp or flat symbols at the start of the staff, after the clef means that all those notes for the entire song get the sharp or flat symbol unless cancelled out somewhere down the line in the song.

I have heard that pianists also learn to read the intervals between the notes in chords. I haven't found out how to do that yet myself as a guitarist at a fast pace. There are promising youtube videos I have seen but it hasn't clicked yet to me on how to recognize the intervals quickly yet. Sitting there figuring out each note one by one stacked in a chord seems impossible to me too. I find this a short coming of the Hal Leonard Guitar Method, Alfred's Basic Guitar Method, Mel Bay's Modern Guitar Method, etc. They just introduce you to chords and show all the notes stacked one on top of another and expect you to magically understand what you're visualizing with no mention of interval recognition or anything really...just memorization of a pile of notes. So going from reading melody lines to chords seems like a giant leap of intelligence that I haven't figured out yet. I do know chords from chord diagrams so I don't actually read the chords in music notation at this point and that's a stumbling block for me.

>>127404718
But my question is how can you even tell that even that chord is from another scale like could it be some other chord more complex with a second note thrown in or whatever.
Actually looking at it even I don’t even get why he put the other chord there either. Like where is the change from A to D exactly and is that B with the A minor or what?
>>127404751
>adam neely
Agree with you there but I thought it would be beneficial to pick up basic theory to make learning music easier and faster.

This blows my mind too to be honest. Maybe if I turned my head sideways and each eye could focus on it's own line. Like a cow having eyes on the side of its head or something.

>>127404802
Yes, I know how the key signature works but you didn’t get my point about make up a new set of sharps and flats.

Thing is I don’t know of a way to tell intervals from the staff in terms of distance which is what you need for guitar which is probably why sheet music notation isn’t very popular with guitarists. But I imagine there must be some process for pianists and that’s what I’m trying to figure out. Like line to line or space to space and a certain distance you can eyeball a fifth and you know how a fifth looks like on the keyboard. My best guess is this somehow scales up with a lot of practice, where you see a chord and you play it.

>>127404851
Maybe I'm reading what you're saying but don't know how to answer you because I see your point and agree with you. I too have wondered the exact same thing you're trying to describe. So I too am curious to figure out that process.

>>127404851
>>127404802
But I should also say that the perfect fifth example doesn’t cover the intervals that change like 3rds, 6ths, 7ths. Those idk how youd go about identifying them. (Inb4 someone explaining how to count intervals, I mean how to do it at a glance)

>>127404851
in guitar sheet music, there's supposed to be a designation of position, usually in roman numerals, which is your key to fretting hand position. this is like the 8va you'll see in piano notation when they want you to play an octave higher, otherwise, there will be dozens of ledger lines above the staff, and it will be unprintable.

>>127404652
hmmm maybe that should be my next project......

>>127404851
Looking at the Scotty West series of lectures, lessons 9 deal with musical notation and 10 deals with key signatures and rhythm notation. Lesson 12 deals with Intervals. So the answer to our questions lies within those videos somewhere. You may want to skip to lesson 12 and 13 right now just to see if it answers your questions...

Here is the playlist - skip around to 12 and 13.

Let it warm up for a few minutes after turning it on, that’s about it. If it’s too loud to crank, get an attenuator so you can get the desired break up at practice volume. The little box sitting on my amp head is a very cheap attenuator by Bugera.

What book?

>>127405054
You're welcome for the pics but you're asking a very specific question that is answered in those series of videos guaranteed. BUT you have to invest 32.5 hours of your life to find the answer watching his videos. You know enough music theory to be dangerous obviously. You should ask a music teacher, not a guitar board full of self-taught random people. I posted the links to his videos and excerpts from his book to try and help you answer your questions. Without investing the 4 hours it's going to take to go through those videos for you, I can't answer your question because I am not a guitar teacher and am a lost student like you learning.

Anyhow, if you can't invest the time for yourself to watch the videos, then no one here is going to be able to help you out further. So good luck. I tried to help the best I could...Can only lead the thirsty horse to the water. Can't force the horse to drink.

Guys, should picking and the angle you hold the guitar at be controlled carefully like they have positions for violing? Like trying to always keep your picking hand in exactly the same spot so you get used to where the strungs are just by feel?

>>127405438
yes especially on an acoustic since you shouldn't be anchoring on the soundboard. some people will let the tips of their pinky and/or ring finger brush against the pickguard as sort of a reference.

With Fender players doing all the heavy lifting for the past long while, should they get reparations from players of other brands?

I once bought a now ex-girlfriend a Fender Squire and it had horrible unsanded fretwires on it on the edge, every single one of them up the entire neck. Otherwise it was a great guitar. But the edges of the frets shredded your fingers. I could have filed them off myself but I left them to shred her fingers. We broke up anyhow so fuck her. She probably sold the guitar as she just liked shiny things. Had no real intent to learn to play it.

>>127407021
eventually you'll realize than 99% of guitars are variations of the les paul, flying v, stratocaster/precision, telecaster, dreadnought, or OM guitar design. so in essence the magnum opus for any of these guitars would in fact be one of the original design and manufacturer. i don't agree with some vintage appointments but nitro finishes are awesome. the break even point of great guitars is $3000 which gets you nitro and built in usa with quality parts. yeah you could pay equal or more for an ibanez made in indonesia or pay more for a japanese made in japan guitar but anything beyond an american fender or gibson is severely diminishing quality returns if any. i've been inspecting and playing boutique acoustic guitars for the last few months because i thought i wanted one but they all sound too bright and none of them replicate the j45/martin sound. and ultimately for yourself and anyone you play to is going to associate the music with the sound of a j45/martin because that's what they've always been played and recorded on. i don't hate custom overseas instruments but it's apples to oranges compared to the originals

>>127407099
>does it again

>>127407129
Any Gibson or Fender design has a copycat that builds it at a similar or higher price for much better quality.
Most designs based on "muh originals" fixed severe flaws with them.

yes but no one else cares. even the most humble person would admit that the desire to own something nice is how it appeals to others. if you just wanted a really high quality guitar at a low price you would just spec out a warmoth build. i'm not saying i disagree that gibson and fender put out some really shitty instruments, because they do, but brand recognition is a large part of the appeal

Hey guys I've been practicing bass for about an hour a day for a month now, and my fingertips are still as smooth as a baby's bottom. When do I get calluses? I dont have any discomfort or anything from playing, I just thought that calluses came along with the experience of learning a stringed instrument? Is this not the case for bass or am I just an oily skinned mutant?

>>127407388
You have fat baby hands that have never done a days work

>>127407388
i played bass for 3 years and never got a callus. you can get small ones if you bend and slide a lot. you get them from guitar because the strings as so small and practically cutting into you

>>127407388
Calluses aren't the goal, being able to play without discomfort is. Calluses get torn off and are annoying to deal with. They're a self report for "I only play cowboy chords and never move my hand up and down the strings".

This is my practice "routine". I don't know what else to do besides play. I should be doing scales but I always forget about them or just feel like doing songs instead. I dont feel like there's a secret to making a good routine, it might just be consistent playing every day. But I've only been on guitar 2 months and I still cant do a song with chords. I'm getting better at solo tabs though.

Was fiddling around with my new used tube amp last night.

Basically I can record it without a cab and mic by plugging the fx send into my scarlet solo then opening DSP and turning everything off but the cab.

DSPs cab Sims aren't too bad, especially if you're playing the same head thats in the sim. Might get a real cab in the future but for testing I just had it on low and plugged into my friends starter combo, never played with a real head before, makes it feel more electric, its weird lol
