I’ve come to the reasonable conclusion that Mustangs are in fact gay, and I’m going to sell mine and put that money toward either a Gibson Explorer or Flying V

ya'll fuck with my nigga mike? seems most other guitar teachers on youtube are a bunch of onions faced redditor types that just want to flex their overpriced gear.

First for Rhett "School Ya" Shull.

No reason to buy a glarry even if your poor. Don't fall for it.

>>127408322
U mad, Tyler? Paul's shuffling you out.
You've been schooled.

not buying an acoustic with a laminated top.

my pinky just rolls off strings or pushes them out of the way

>>127408282
Rhett Shill is ain insufferable ad generator.
Hate this faggots videos so much.

>>127408428
Go slower and make sure your finger is pressing the string with the very tip at the correct angle. It doesn't have the strength to be sloppy yet.

why do i need chords why can't i just play notes

>>127408436
try bass

>>127408436
you're going to lose your mind when you figure out what chords are made of

that g string keeps ringing out sometimes even though ny fingers over it, what do

>>127408436
sounds like a kazoo would be more your speed
less shitposty answer is that notes are thin and wimpy and there's only 12 of them. Chords are full and glorious and there's hundreds of them.

Does he even actually DO anything besides shilling shit and praising the guitar equivalent of vanilla and chocolate?
I have seen maybe 6 or so videos of him a few years ago and in one of them he talked about "touring" I think, no idea with whom. Other than that he didn't appear to have a style, no idea what kind of music he does, whether he is a skilled guitarist or whatever.

>>127408244 (OP)
Are you a blues guitarplayer an any level, /gg/? You know it's much more important for your playing knowing the the fucking blues than knowing heavy bullshitmetal, right?

He's a vlogger that plays guitar. Simple as. Pretty sure he's a hired gun and doesn't write anything. He's easier to watch than trogly but all of the youtubers that aren't exclusively educational are brain rot.

True words.
I used to appreciate Beato, not for his opinions or anything, but for the amount of top tier guitarists he manages to get into his basement.
But man is the guy shit at doing interviews, bland questions, always just nodding along "uh oh that is soo amazing". It's a feat how some of his interviews are 1 hour of empty talk.
He is like the Joe Rogan of Guitar.

>>127408618
What kind of questions should Beato ask?

>>127408748
He should tell them about his horsecock.

>>127408759
That's not a question.

>>127408759
No cock like horse cock
Send your asshole into shock

yeah, nickel strings are better on acoustics than phosphor bronze

>>127408995
What strings does everyone here play on electric? I used DR pure blues for the longest time but switched to NYXL's

>>127409021
For me, it's SIT. They're cheap, made in the US, and you get an extra, free E & B with every set.

>>127409021
labella's only for bass. for electric guitar i like daddarios nyxl. for acoustic i will only use martin monels. i wish someone else would fucking make them

>>127409021
Elixir strings are my favorite nowadays. I also like Ernie Ball strings as the cheaper alternative, used them especially when I still played live and in the studio.
Thinking about trying the newer D'addario coated strings once my current supply runs out.

What are the advantages of jumbo frets over medium frets and vice versa?
Why would I or should I prefer one over the other?
Or is bigger always better?

>>127409151
easier to fret
more fret lifespan
easier to press to hard and bend out of pitch
feel worse when doing slides

>>127409021
I played Slinkies exclusively for more than 15 years, then two years ago I gave Stringjoy a shot and after those ran out I went back to Slinkies, and then last year I bought a guitar that came with NYXLs on it and I really liked those strings and now all of my electrics have NYXLs.

>>127409197
i want to like stringjoy because i support small, usa businesses but a lot of guitar strings are made in usa. so im not really sure what they're providing

>>127409151
I used to prefer jumbo, as I’ve gotten older and the longer I’ve played I like vintage size. I like the frets low to the fretboard. My one electric with jumbos is doable for me but also just doesn’t feel good to me. If it wasn’t a cheap guitar I’d have it refretted but regretting a $500 guitar with a bound neck will cost a decent chunk of the whole value of the guitar
>>127409216
They were decent strings. They rusted really quickly for me. I bought a few sets of basic 9s and 10s in one order and when they were through I didn’t reorder. It’s cool that they have custom gauge sets though, that would be really handy having shipped to your door rather than piecing something together yourself with what you find locally.

>>127408511
can you show me a black cherry that is not intact?

I got a boss ac3, now I need some cash for an audio interface

>>127409021
D'Addario XS.
My sweat is corrosive, and slinkys would last me two weeks before going black on the unwounds and sounding dead.
XS last me 3+ months, even on a droid rose wanglerbar going ape style big time.
Some people don't like how slippery they feel though. I like slippery.

>>127408523
i feel like he's a sound guy first and musician second

>>127409285
How do they feel compared to Elixers? I also make my strings corrode really quick but every time I’ve given Elixers a shot I don’t like how they feel or how the coating eventually peels away.

Can I go from 9s to 10s wihout having to change/file my nut? Give it to me straight.

>>127409681
very unlikely. you could probably just take a bit of 320 grit sandpaper around bits of the old string and wide the slots a small amount

>>127409681
Are you staying with a 46 low e or going to 52? That's the more important part of the equation, the low strings diameters.

>>127409270
Ask cumshitter kek

not him but can you go from 10's to 9's without changing anything?

>>127409733
yes it can also fix guitars that didn't have nut slots cut correctly and the strings are binding. may have to back the truss rod off an 1/8 of a turn if the neck is already flat. the only time this is a problem is if the guitar only has enough relief and is barely playable with the 10s on there

>>127409707
Unfortunate. I don’t want to widen the nut only to find I don't like them.
>>127409710
It's 10-46.

>>127409776
>10-46
Yeah dude, don't touch the nut you'll be fine. If going up to 10-46 from 9's required you to widen slots, your tuning stability was already fucked to begin with. If you're worried about it lube it with graphite powder.

so how much of an effect do different cabs have? talking live sound here, not picked up with a mic

>>127409825
Thanks, won't do anything more than a little graphite then.

>>127409861
A lot

>>127409861
Cab and amp are almost 50/50 when it comes to the sound

Any tips on how to practice my chords in every key? Assume I already know which voicings I want to practice.

>>127410057
circle of 4/5ths or just practice different progressions?

>>127410107
how would using the circle of fifths, or circle of fourths the other way round, work for this?
Do every diatonic chord in a key, then move to the next key in the circle?
Or do the same chord moving up in fifths/fourths?

>>127409861
It will make or break your rig. There's a reason boutique cabs are all overbuilt dovetailed 3/4" voidless birch.

Ok so learned that there are several positions for scales. How do I approach this as a noob? Give me some good exercises.
Also I’m guessing I should also be able to just to random notes so what are exercises for that since I’m guessing just knowing to play the scale is not going to allow me to skip randomly otherwise it messes the pattern. Also how long will this take? Want an idea so I know if I’m fucking up and not making good progress.

Hey anon you have a hello kitty guitar right?

Why do the "basic" most useful moveable chords sound kinda bad?

>>127410175
>Also how long will this take
are you practicing 8hrs a day or 3 minutes a day? how the fuck would we know?

>>127410193

you can learn a scale in a week. learning all their scales and positions is like a year of you are practicing other things. in my opinion it's a waste of time

Ahh yes the japanese are so cultured

>>127410382
What? It's true. His finger is too weak to push it down with the flat of the pad at an incorrect angle. Instead its just pushing the string out of the way. He needs to check his technique and go slower until he builds strength and muscle memory.
Feel free to keep not knowing how to play but let the beginner learn.

Photoshop anon, shoop off his beanie to reveal his male pattern Norwood nightmare

Been playing my Tele a lot recently and really thinking about selling some stuff to buy a custom shop Tele. There’s one for sale two hours away that’s like 90% of what I’d like and I’m thinking of trading some guitars in for it. I don’t need another Tele and my current Tele is a nice one that I love, but I miss having another Tele so I can have two for different tunings

How do I choose what scale to start with?

>>127410913
if you're only going to play funk and blues you can just learn the minor pentatonic. otherwise just learn the major scale

Not bait I just started playing last week

Clear acrylic cabs, so you can see the glowing tubes and speakers. Boutique speakers with coloured cone fiber. Gold hardware. Point-to-point, handwired circuits.

>>127411233
Your question was too specific not to be a quiz but I'll bite. As anon said learn the minor pentatonic to sound musical as quickly as possible.
To build a good foundation, though, learn the major scale, particularly the C major scale. Western music is based off of the major scale, and when you learn it you'll likely be shown a piano to help with visualization. C is right in the middle of the frequency range of a piano and all of the keys of the C major scale are the simple white keys on a piano so its easiest.

>>127411273
you were right, it was bait, and you failed
nobody listen to this moron

>>127410493
they're great. what's not to love?

I don't own one, my metal guitar is a Schecter, but what's with the Ibanez hate here? They're a storied brand, with amazing players attached. My first guitar was a black and white RG and I miss that thing every day.

>>127411332
there's that brand talk again

Is there a right way to arpeggiate a chord? Like 1st string then 3rd then 4th, etc or just whatever sounds good?

If guitars are female then why do they all have masculine names?

>>127411657
Not in that sense no. Different chord inversions move the root note around anyway. If you're arpeggiating for the sake of sweeps or runs having the notes in ascending and descending order helps but the best don't rely on that.

don't fuck up your build path

practiced for 20 mins working on D-Bm-G-A and D-Bm-A-D chord transitions. got them from 70bpm up to 90bpm. pretty clean. i'm going to bed now

Practiced 4.183333333 hours today. A sharp stabbing pain in your fret hand elbow is normal, right?

>>127412671
Yes, that's correct. But "guitar players" (poseurs) think it's cool to be ignorant about their instrument.

>>127412927
I’m guessing that wasn’t you, right? Someone in a previous thread said not to memorize 40 chords. Does it come from the same place as this guy or is there some logic to it or what? Also what logic can is there to not learning scales, that you’d learnt them any by playing so you don’t need deliberate practice?

>>127412927
you don't need to learn every shape of every scale to improvise lol

>>127412985
the logic is you should learn a scale and figure out how the notes that aren't in it sound by ear. new players figure this out on their own with cowboy chords by hammering on a note here or there, moving the shape up or down a few frets etc. your subconscious thought process is faster when you learn be ear because there is less to think about. the other problem you run into when learning scales is that you will eventually make a mistake when playing. your instinct should either be to slide or bend your way out of it or embellish it to set yourself up to resolve the note. really the biggest reason none of this matters is that melody and interesting playing is 80% rhythm anyway. btw keep in mind you asked if you should learn all the "positions". that's what is the waste of time. this is going to hurt a lot of feelings but your favorite players and most peoples favorite players knew very little if any theory. people that know big theory are jazz players and their "inprovising" is either just rephrasing the melody or running scales. there's a reason practically no one can name famous jazz guitarists

>>127412985
Not me, but I tend to agree, especially early on. Learning a bunch of chords out of context isn't very helpful. I'd memorize your open "cowboy chords". Lots of fun to be had and songs to play just using those. Then come the movable chord grips, or barre chords, this is where CAGED comes in. Then triads, then you can build your own chords. Eventually As for scales I would recommend learning just one position of the major scale well, maybe just one octave to start, then add in the others as you feel comfortable. Learn the intervals, sing them. Sing your scales, I'm serious, this will put you way ahead. Actually, sing everything you play. Making this a habit now will pay off big time.
One step at a time.

It depends what you want. You may not NEED theory, but it's interesting and can open a lot of doors with not very much of it. Like learning about keys and chord progressions with the roman numeral system. I wanted to know everything about guitar and music, and being interested in classical guitar, theory was a natural avenue to go down. It's your path, you get to choose. Just have fun along the way and the main thing is to play with balls, with passion. If you're serious, and you can, get a teacher until you can guide yourself. It would have saved me a lot of time.

>>127413212
>just have fun
that's the best advice. if learning theory is fun to you, go for it. most people do not find theory fun and got into guitar to play music. learning theory is months you could've spent just playing

Anon, need your advice. My cheap tele is dead, repair costs more than it's worth. Thinking of moving on, maybe something different from a tele or strat. After trying out a friend's strandberg, I really want a headless guitar. Problem is that even a used strandberg is way out of my budget. I got around $300-400.
So, I have two options. Chinese headless named mctang. Found one in my price range. But I am worried about the fretboard, it is an artificial rosewood. Also worried if I'll be able to sell it later to raise money for a real Strandberg.
The other option is a normal superstrat, maybe a budget Ibanez idk. The obvious choice, but I'm too much into a headless now.
I can also just save up money for a real Strandberg, but $1500 is big. I could put that toward my mortgage.
Thoughts? Any other options I'm missing? Appreciate any advice.

>>127413246
$300 worth of burglary tools and steal a strandberg

>>127413246
if you know how to do setups you can buy one of the chinese chinaberger strandberg things

how good is the Axe-FX 1 compared to the mark2? just looking on FleaBay, not sure

>>127413286
Is artificial rosewood ok? I've never had an artificial wood fretboard before
>>127413258
Might as well become a squatter to not to pay the mortgage

>>127408378
I'm really sick of seeing all these chinese made instruments.
>pick up guitar
>see made in china on the headstock
>put it back down

>>127408378
I was thinking about getting one to shoot at

>>127412423
actually depressing

>>127413223
>just playing
But at the end of the day what am i left with?
Won’t I gain more by knowing enough theory to identify the chords so that I can then just know that that sings uses abc chords in such and such progressions and then learn it faster and not forget it as easily? And then too I can also train my ears to listen to those progressions and chords.
>>127413212
So what is your alternative though? Am I supposed to just play random notes and see what sounds good together and develop my own theoretical system?
I don’t really know what actually makes you a guitarist, just mimicking songs isn’t it don’t feel cause of what I wrote above. Being able to hear a tune and play it is more like it, but how would I go about developing that? Would it come from playing so many songs you kinda absorb the music intuitively? Then maybe the best approach is to speed run very easy songs so you get as many under your belt as quickly as possible.
>teacher
Yeah, but I assume they are just going to do scales and then give me a song. I can do that myself for now. Maybe later they can correct some issues and guide me a bit but I’m struggling understanding the process. If you’re familiar with language learning I want basically the immersion approach for guitar instead of the grammar book.

this is the brian wilsons bed setup
this is how you do it

Why does everyone these days want a mustang? They’ve always been complete shit. Is it a zoomer obsession with Kirk “I sucked on the business end of a shotgun” cobain? Nirvana wasn’t even that popular in the 90s bro get over it.

When people say that the beat is in the 2 and 4 instead of 1 and 3, like how do you tell? What if it’s actually on 1 and 3 and you just labeled them wrong?

that photo looked about 10 years old, guess not. grim.

>>127413494
And made in Indonesia is better because...

>>127413771
nigga how you gonna mislabel when its 4 beats.
if you can't count the 1 you are already out of time.
yeesh.

>>127413768
theyre just a less heavy offset
thats why my buddy bought one at least

>>127413809
They sound like shit. Kirk liked rinky dink cheap sounding pawn shop guitars which is why he gravitated to them. For anything that isn’t intentionally supposed to sound like hot garbage they are useless.

>>127413768
They meme'd on gibbons but came to realize that shorter scale length has its place. They now don't want to pay for a gibbons and I dont blame them. That's my headcanon anyway. I think its a gay looking guitar but its just not for me and thats okay.

Some of them are just nice guitars. Kurt has nothing to do with it.

>>127413823
They were originally designed to be budget guitars that had junk hardware and they’re still bad. Kirk’s guitar tone sucked ass, he was a really bad guitar player. Like half his notes were either buzzing or unintentional. You have to actually try to be bad at guitar to sound like him.

>>127413777
indogs are killing it rn. go try one. i bought a squier JM from them and it was literally superior to both the mexi fender and the cali fender that were also in the store. i had to sit there for like 2hrs going back and forth because i almost didnt believe it.

theyre NOT the chinese, and rly dont like the chinese all that much, so they actually give a shit in regards to what theyre doing/producing. which is a scarce commodity on the china. china is the land of "good enough" and "you get what you pay for" stacked on top of each other into the rough shape of a society

>>127413840
They’re garbage. Garbage bridge, garbage electronics, garbage neck with a jumbo headstock that dives. They look like something you’d buy out of a sears catalog. They’re fucking ugly. Kirk sucked at guitar

>>127413783
But I assume they aren’t keeping track from the start of the song. So jumping in how do they know that their 2, 4 isn’t actually the 1, 3 was my question.
But I asked chatgpt and with ai guidance I listened to a funk song and the lyrics start one beat behind when the drums beat so I’m guessing that’s what they mean by 2,4. There is the measure where music changes or comes in like the lyrics and then there is where the drum hits.

>>127413860
Indo and Chinese guitars are both better than Mexican and almost on par with American these days. Mexicans are the laziest, least competent third worlders. The only thing holding Indonesian and Chinese guitars back from being as good as Japanese / USA models is the low end hardware and paint they force them to use. My Chinese epi and Indonesian revstar are built just as well as my American guitars if not in some cases better.

imagine getting butthurt over nirvana like 30yrs too late

>>127413882
I’m not butthurt over them I’m simply stating that if you lived through the 90s you would know that there were dozens of bands that were as popular or more popular than nirvana and I don’t really understand zoomers obsession with them. You heard stone temple pilots and smashing pumpkins on the radio more often than nirvana and the only reason zoomers idolize Kirk is because he suck started a shotgun.

>>127413868
Who pissed in your pants bro? If you played one you'll know they hold tune, sound good, and don’t dive at all.

>>127413768
They’re only shit if you don’t spend hours of time perfectly dialing in the vibrato which is what nobody does.

>>127414260
Nice thanks, no fingering though?
And you really only need these for all major scales and then to figure out which note you start on, or should you also practice them starting on every note?

>>127414838
Do people still make these? I can understand if you're a cabinet maker or even a speaker guy but what do you even call a person who makes speaker cabinets? Inb4 poor

>>127414960
>no fingering though?
nta but this is going to be personal preference. a lot of teachers want you to practice scales using a specific fingering in order to make transitions during solos easier, and while that is certainly forward focused and beneficial, over time you're going to figure out what works best for you anyway. for example, I use a lot of slides and hammer on/pull offs in solos and tend use my middle finger and pinky over my index and ring finger at the start of a pattern to make string skipping easier. practice them using various types of fingering and figure out what works for you. you're on the right track in terms of practicing them starting on every note as well.

yes but how do i PLAY guitar

>>127414964
>Do people still make these
More than you would expect, yeah. Emperor (though they've been sketchy recently), atlas, omega, off the top of my head, and I have seen smaller companies making similar quality cabs as well. I've heard rumblings about Vader doing another run soon and I wish I had hung on to my old 412 because I'm sure they will go quick, though I don't think they're necessarily better than the aforementioned builders and are more on par with Mesa oversized cabs, which are great cabs in their own right. I guess you'd just call them custom speaker cabinet builders. It's a niche market for sure but man, they are certainly worth the investment especially if you're touring.

>>127413868
>Garbage bridge
What’s garbage about it? The Mustang bridge is the best offset bridge Fender designed. If your bridge radius matches the fretboard radius you shouldn’t need to adjust individual string height. Adjust overall height of the bridge or individual sides to give it some clearance on the bass side and you’re good. Adjust the height of the vibrato unit to get good break angle and you’re good, with good break angle the bridge will rock on its posts and hold tune. If it really, really bothers you buy a Mastery.
>garbage electronics
What’s garbage about them? That you can’t swap pickups as quick as with a toggle switch? With practice you can swap just fine. The pickups? Yeah they’re thin sounding and lower output but they’re nothing more than slightly underworld Strat pickups with flat pole pieces and plastic covers. They’re not too different in sound than 1950s Strat pickups. Use an EQ pedal or literally any form of boost. You wouldn’t be able to tell them apart from a Strat if you stay on the neck or bridge. If they really bug you stick any Strat pickups in you want.
>garbage neck
It’s literally no different than a Jaguar neck, there’s nothing special about it and any other Fender neck other than the short scale.
>with a jumbo headstock
Ok? That doesn’t do anything.
>that dives
No it doesn’t. Have you ever even played any Fender guitar with a large headstock? It doesn’t feel any different than any other Fender neck.
>They look like something you’d buy out of a sears catalog. They’re fucking ugly.
That’s just your opinion man. They look like a squeezed Strat.
>Kirk sucked at guitar
Agreed, Nirvana is the second lamest 90s Seattle band only beating Pearl Jam.

>>127408436
Music is like speaking a language of sound. Notes are letters. Try communicating to someone only using letters without words. Chords the are words. You need both melody and harmony (notes and chords respectively) to tell stories and communicate in music. Try playing a piano with only using notes (Chopsticks), then listen to anyone who can actually play the thing who uses a chord. See the difference?

>>127415152
Nah I just got sick of needing an Allen key to mess with the arm so I picked up an appropriately threaded wing nut at the hardware store so I can insert, remove, and adjust the arm without needing to use an Allen key. I can do it just standing with the guitar rather than needing to fumble with a key standing or take the guitar off and do it

Let’s talk about a USA Gibson Les Paul
The abr-1 bridge is zinc alloy
The tuners are plastic and nickel.
The nut is plastic
The knobs are plastic.
The frets are nickel
The only steel parts on a Gibson Les Paul are the bridge posts and the input jack plate. They’re made by niggers and illegals in Nashville who don’t give a fuck about quality. Think about it, would you rather have your guitar made by DEI minority hires in America, or Asians in Asia. At least Indonesian, Korean, and Chinese guitars are made by and supervised by their respective race. American guitars are slapped together by actual 70 iq niggers and English as a second language retarded beaners. USA fenders and gibsons have been a fucking joke for decades.

If you have pain in your elbow you have compressed a nerve by leaning on something too long. It is not good. It can take weeks to months to heal from inflammation if it gets too bad. I have had this problem off and on from compartmentalized pressure on the ulnar nerve. If indeed you're experiencing that, get some Voltaren Extra Strength gel and rub that shit on your elbow area and then get 2 ice gel packs and use it until warm then swap it out and get the other one from the freezer. Have fun. This can grow into a serious injury that affects your entire forearm, wrist and hand if you fuck around too much with this nerve.

The faded looking notes are ones you can use to extend outside the normal range of the core scale pattern.

>>127416539
yes. ironically because most of them were told they needed to learn things instead of just playing music

>>127416554
The first position looks wrong, along with some other weirdness. Could just be a different pattern than I learned, but pos1 looks way wrong..

>>127416539
I'd say there are multiple levels of "giving up".
There are the guys that give up completely after a very short time and don't touch their guitar again, which is clearly the majority. But I assume anon wouldn't count those as guitar players (anymore).
There is also a large chunk of guitarists that give up early on learning or improving, but will continue forever with regularly noodling the same 2 songs and 3 riffs they learned during their first months.

>>127416687

>>127416539
Yeah but those arent guitarists. I'm saying 90% of guitarists live in a small creative box and can't play with other musicians without having their hand held. Being able to improvise using the scales i mentioned puts you ahead of those people.

I broke a string today, first time it’s happened in years and years, maybe a decade. I primarily play without a pick, using the tips of my fingers when not fingerpicking. Gave me a good excuse to wipe down and take the trem off my Vintera Jag. I loosened the spring up a little bit and not it feels almost as good as my new FSR Jaguar. Now that I’m set on Mustangs and Jaguars I think I’ll set my sights on a more traditional JM and Deluxe Telecaster

Don’t feed the poorfag trolls man, their only experience with fender offsets is parroting memes and that one time they played a used Squier offset at guitar center.

I was the one who said I had pain in my elbow while playing in the last thread. Thanks for the advice, I WAS resting my elbow on the arm of my chair when playing. I was just trying to get comfy. Never again. I'll start massaging my arm and stretching as part of the practice.

>>127418977
I'm the one that gave the advice: Excellent to hear. Be mindful of that in future. You'll be fine but watch getting out of bed for a while (when you slide around to stand up, one tends to use their elbow on the bed as an anchor and push off spot). If you crush that nerve in the elbow too much you'll get a lightning/fire burning zap feeling and you'll never forget it. Similar to a funny-bone bang but worse. Anyhow, glad you're doing better.
