first for capo

Reposted sorry didn’t realize the last thread died. What’s the best place to find a good Les Paul? What years should I be looking for? Should I go 59 or 60s? I plan to play mostly 90s and 2000s rock in my cover band. I had a 59 epiphone with Gibson burstbucker 2 and 3 that was okay but I’ll be honest the neck pickup was way too warm for me and I could have used more gain in the bridge sometimes. The neck was a bit too thick but that wasn’t a huge deal, also I hear epi necks are thicker for some reason than actual 50s Les Paul’s. Or should I just go for like a classic alpine white studio? I was thinking about the new epi 59 inspired by with custombuckers cause it sounds amazing but I just don’t want that shit half gloss finish or epiphone logo anymore. I want to spend around 2000 dollars on the guitar.

What if I don't have a capo, with what can I replace it?

>>128016769
Replace $15 with a capo

>>128016769
A bunch of shitty sounding barre chords

>>128016769
The Digitech Drop Whammy, you can pitch shift up as well as down

Electrics >>> anything else
Leo saved the guitar as an instrument from being relegated to campfire bs and the exceedingly rare trained classical player

>>128016769
pencil and rubber bands maybe according to short form video content

>>128016804
Aren't these really bad with artifacts

>>128017160
Your post is the first time I've seen anyone even mention it so probably not. Just play it loud and avoid the lowest octaves and you're fine.

>>128017160
Boss just came out with a new polyphonic pitch shifter and whammy pedal and supposedly the algorithm is better and it has less latency. In my opinion they only start to sound a little wonky if you go more than 2 semi tones up or down in pitch, but they’re still usable. I used my digitech drop to play stuff in drop c from a drop d tuned guitar and it sounded good enough that nobody would notice live. It’s at the very least great if you have a set that only has a couple drop songs or you just want to play something at home in a drop tuning without having dedicated guitars for it. I use a polyphonic pitch shifter all the time to play stuff in e flat because I don’t want a dedicated guitar for that tuning and a lot of the grunge stuff, Van Halen, etc is in e flat. Don’t expect it to be perfect but it is really useful.

>>128016804
I used to have one of these, it was so cool. really wish I hadn't sold it

Hi GG/uys.
>Have pic related bought for me 8 years ago.
>Too crap at playing to touch it.
>Start learning some EVH songs and remember I have this in storage.
>Pull it out.
>Feels great.
>Sounds good.
>Looks amazing.

The control nobs seem to make no sense.

The one furthest from the pick ups does almost nothing.
The one closest to the pick ups does the Bridge pick ups (volume I think).
The one in the middle does the neck pick up (volume I think).

Can someone explain the controls to me, are they wired incorrectly?

>>128017188
Did you even use the whammy function that much? My RP80 has a pedal with a whammy setting and it feels like it's only good for covering some RATM songs and to show non-guitar people the silly sounds you can make with it.

>>128017213
First knob is volume, second is tone for the bridge, third is tone for the neck pickup. Selector switch is down for bridge, middle for bridge and neck combined, up for neck only. Hope that helps

>>128017227
The whammy has a lot more features as in like up octave pitch shifting and memory and shit that is valuable even if you don’t actually use the pedal. Look into it.

>>128017235
Wow they’ve wired the pots up in reverse as the 1st nob only effects the bridge pick up and second only effects the neck. I wonder if I can swap their positions without any cutting or soldering.
Many thanks for the help.

>>128017213
>24 fret
Compromises the neck pickup sorry

>>128017235
Please disregard >>128017259
I misread what you said.

>>128017227
yeah, I actually got it for the whammy. I had ordered the whammy v but amazon sent me the whammy dt. this was back when I was really into muse lol
I don't really remember any bad artifacts

>>128017269
That's ok, I will keep it.

Thoughts on Chinamaha?

>>128016759
60s if you don't like super fat necks. I would save up for a 60s standard, you can get them for under $2000 all day. Fuck a studio or any other cheap option. You'll always want the next step up.

are all guitarists fucking rich? you people keep buying multiple 3000 dollar guitars and posting pictures of pedal boards that are 1500+ dollars. are you millionaires or just plain irresponsible with money?

>>128017569
all guitarists as poor as hobos, they don't even own a car

>>128017569
>just plain irresponsible with money?
It's this. Guitars are nothing compared to autofags or gunfags, and those pedalboards are usually assembled over multple years

>>128017569
Most with more expensive stuff are just people who’ve been playing for a long time and have bought things over the years.

>Do research on a guitar I'm planning on buying
>Trogly video
>Obsessive talk over spec sheet
>Dog shit playing

Wow I remember watching videos of him in 2018, he has not improved a bit

He's improved a little.

you have to earn you're gear. if you’re only epiphone level i do not want to see you with a gibson.

>>128017517
Yeah that’s true. And I think a lot of the guys I like covering play 60s like dean deleo. I also like the silver tone knobs and Grovers better. I think the pickups are slightly hotter as well. I agree that I should just look for either a used or on sale 60s standard post 2020. I made the mistake of buying an epiphone last time and while it sounded great I always regretted it.

I'm thinking of buying a clip on tuner so I don't have to plug all my other shit in just to tune

>>128017818
Yeah I watched a couple of his inspired by videos yesterday while researching options and honestly that kid just pisses me off. There’s something smug about him that makes me cringe. Also I don’t like the fact that he fucks actual musicians out of good deals by bid sniping all the good shit and then marking it up and sitting on it. Used gear should be for musicians not for faggots to profit off of someone’s desperation. Let’s be honest most people don’t want to sell their guitars it’s usually their last option to pay bills. So they’ll mark it down for quick sale then someone like him comes along and sits on it for 30% more.

>>128018092
They suck major ass. I have a korg one and it’s ok cause it doesn’t swivel it just clips and has a hinge. But those sharks are dogshit.

>>128017818
Don't forget having the most dogshit tone possible

>>128018092
buy a zoom and you get a tuner + 6 other pedals in one

>>128018209
I have an mfx pedal of that type already it's just that I practice on the couch unplugged most of the time

Blue is NOT a musical color
NO music of value has ever been created on a blue guitar

>>128018386
Seafoam green however is a 60-70's furniture color, which is cool

>>128017569
I spend all my money on guitar books and videos. I haven't bought a new instrument in over 10 years.

>>128018542
Furniture DOES NOT make MUSIC!!!
You don't even knead a doctorate to know that much!!!

>>128018386
shut up

>>128017569
i have a good job, single, no major addictions and no kids
pretty simple

>>128017569
Most people here play shitplanks that are sub 800 bucks, plus putting a couple thousand dollars into a hobby is nothing, that's like the price of a decent gaming PC let alone the games or god forbid, the micro transactions

They hate to see it...

>>128016742 (OP)
Rosewood necks/guitars seem so over the top to me, maybe I'm a traditionalist but it just seems unnecessary.

>>128017569
I've got a net worth of $250k just in cash/investment accounts but that's actually pitiful at the end of the day when I'm a week away from 33 years old and still haven't achieved homeownership

>>128016769
Get those thin af billy gibbons strings and tune up.

Billy Gibson

>>128018585
What do you do for a living? How can you have a job and play guitar at the same time?

>>128018637
maybe by not having a sweatshop job

>>128018637
you tell me

>>128018613
i don't think you can afford to buy multiple 2000+ dollar guitars if you only have 250k. that's totally irresponsible.

>>128018730
why not tho? he can't get a house either way

>>128018649
Then what job is great for guitarists? What job is the most finger-frinedly?

>>128018842
Literally any job that doesn't require you to sleep at the office? Dumb fucking question m8

>>128018877
Would you work as a sawyer?

>>128016769
Buy a fucking capo. Go collect bottles if you have to...You can get inexpensive aluminum clip-on spring loaded ones off

https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-capo.html

for like $5 or less - the screenshot prices are CAD so yours will probably be cheaper. Wait the month it takes to ship it to you..no longer be a capo virgin anymore bitching about not having a capo. At these prices, buy 2.

>>128018987
all this hassle only to be able to play Wonderwall?

>>128018987
Are these like a meme just for ac*ustic guitar retards that think they still live in the old west? I've never seen a real guitarist use one of them

>>128019044
they’re a crutch for mediocre players

Speaking of Aliexpress.com, a week ago I was told about these spring loaded guitar picks by one of our Anons. Very appreciative of that still by the way...thank you again...Now, I found a listing for the Black Mountain spring loaded guitar picks on there. These prices are CAD so may be cheaper in your currency.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009591040954.html

Cheaper than buying directly from the Black Mountain website. But they are still not an inexpensive pick. But probably worth it. I've not ordered mine yet but will soon.

>>128019012
Tune your strings then like others do.

>>128019044
depends, are fingerstyle guitarists real guitarists or not, according to you?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLA-PbJdsO8

>>128018987
What do i do with the hammers?

>>128019090
Mark Knopfler is a real guitarist, that guy isn't. Otherwise he would play a real guitar and not a huge plinky plonky thing

>>128019044
I use them all the time on both electric and acoustic.

There are certain ranges of songs you can't tune your strings to without snapping them.
ex: Headstones - Swinging (Acoustic)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT9QXOzB1Ew&list=RDUT9QXOzB1Ew&start_radio=1

Put the capo on the 7th fret and then you can play your D, G, C chords along with the song.

There is a regular version of that song non acoustic for comparison.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY7skKWzFzA&list=RDDY7skKWzFzA&start_radio=1&pp=ygUfdGhpbmtpbmcgb2Ygc3dpbmdpbmcgaGVhZHN0b25lc6AHAQ%3D%3D

Jesus Christ I'm glad I never have thoughts like that...

>>128019128
Same capo position, same chords, you can play their Without A Sound (acoustic)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcg-9SyOQJQ&list=RDUT9QXOzB1Ew&index=2

A capo is a transcription device that adjusts to your voice range...that is all it does.

>>128019105
>What do i do with the hammers?
hit yourself on the head, knock some sense into you...

when's the last time fender released a genuinely new guitar model? everything they shill in their email newsletters is a million different variations of Teles and Strats.

>>128019172
why not buy other brands if you don't like their offerings?

>>128019078
You're a fucking dipshit and obviously don't play much guitar or sing for that matter. How to out yourself as a guitar faggot without saying HEY LOOK EVERYONE I GOBBLE CUM!!!

Anyway if we're talking new designs the latest is probably the Fender Meteora, these started coming out in 2018

>>128019235
It's a jet king 3

>>128019044
It's for singers mostly.

>>128017569
Yes

Guy called ‘Bumblefoot’ is on Rich Beato. Lol

>>128018072

Beato finally has on a gg autist, such talent on dumpster level gear

>>128021509
I have an HH strat w 2 humbuckers it's awesome. Humbuckers make it sound more like a Les Paul. I don't like the neck of the Gibsons it's sticky. Fenders play better for my big dumb hands. My HH can still do the fender jangly sound too it's kino.

>>128021351
Yngwie Malmsteen

Rick Beato has a horse cock

>>128021684

that's like a unicycle with two wheels

>>128021598

>>128021688
no original music

>>128021699

It does Gibson things. It does strat things too. It's more like a transformer that changes from a dune buggy into a helicopter. U mad bro?

>>128021351
Fender players- Slipknot, Bloc Party, Johnny Marr, David Gilmour, Jeff Beck, ZZ Top, Van Halen (sort of), Jimi Hendrix, Tower of Power, A-Ha,

>>128021832
i'll give you gilmour but the rest of those are shit and i wouldn't consider billy gibbons a fender player

im just going to pay a store to put on the strings once i get the banjo ones next week. ive watched two youtube videos on changing strings and i cant get it.

Maaaan, getting gud at an instrument is so difficult. It's like obtaining a new appendage, like a new type of hand, and learning to use it proficiently, from zero, while being an adult. So difficult>>128021862

>>128022067

Play this exercise to this backing track, record it and post it. If you guys can do it sounding good quickly, I will fucking kill myself and drop music. You are allowed to transpose everything up or down any numbers of semitones if that'll make it easier for you
https://voca.ro/1umAR2aBLu1t

>>128022150
Play it at the slowest tempo you can without making mistakes.
Note the speed on your metronome.
Play it through multiple times until you can do it repeatedly without making mistakes.
Bump up the metronome a notch or two.
Play it again until you can do it at the higher speed without making mistakes.
Repeat until you get the tempo you wanted.
Do this for every exercise.

>just play your one octave scale in a single direction and move to the next chord in the key at 30 bpm
why

>>128022210
idk, my teacher gave me this exercise to practice scales

>>128019481
Actually I’m really good friends with the gm at my local guitar center and he’s working out a deal to get me 500 off a figured top standard 60s when I order my helix stadium and Powercab 212cl. Only question is what color.

https://www.guitarcenter.com/Gibson/Les-Paul-Standard-60s-Figured-Top-Electric-Guitar-Honey-Amber-1500000404912.gc

>>128022199
Before bumping up the metronome, make sure you can play the notes while relaxed. Consistency improves dramatically when you take the time to practice slowly with relaxation. This is an essential part of practice that people commonly skip.

>>128022285
I think the iced tea is the most classic color so that’s probably what I’ll go with. I like the blueberry burst and honey amber but I just want a Les Paul that looks like a Les Paul.

>>128021862
>Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Marr, Russell Lisak
>Shit

Your opinion is rubbish and your playing is likely worse.

>>128022334
Actually this is the one. It’s worth the extra 300 bucks.

i like the Ice Tea more here but maybe it's different when you see the guitars irl

>>128022150
how about a wildwood flower instead
https://voca.ro/18Rulb4HQ9ic

>>128022334
i think you're a retard if you don't get a blueberry burst out of those

>>128022706
https://youtu.be/P-yoyx1V1WQ?si=AryWzSqkQ8krAAXT

After seeing this retards review I think that might be the color I go for. I do love the blueberry burst but I’d how well it would fit in a 90s cover band type thing.

iced tea over cherry burst?

It's funny seeing the huge glut of Silverburst guitars at Guitar Center that no one wants because that's fad is over. Roasted maple strats broz!

does the output jack effect the quality of the sound? is it worth upgrading?

>>128023301
Seen a few around me as well, I think it's hilarious people actually thought silver was gonna work.

>>128023324
I like silver guitars, but silverburst suck donkey dick

>>128023153
i like honeyburst, lemonburst, icedteaburst, tobaccoburst. i'm on the edge over cherryburst, don't like it if the red is too bright

>>128022297
>, make sure you can play the notes while relaxed. Consistency improves dramatically when you take the time to practice slowly with relaxation.
nta but could you explain what you mean? Like physically relaxed or mentally

>>128023153
both of these look shit
I hate standard flame bursts so much
tobacco is ok
but gibsons look best in a solid color top

>>128023309
If it isn’t disconnecting it's not worth upgrading

>>128023349
My other thought is just an ebony standard 60s. I’m going in to buy it all tomorrow afternoon so I’ve got some thinking to do. But the AAA flame top one trogly reviewed looked really good. Idk. If I buy an ebony then i can afford another guitar to go along with it so maybe I’ll just do that, and it’ll fit the hard rock cover stuff I want to do.

>>128022199
This advice is so outdated lol

Iced tea << Texas tea

>>128023409
nah man, if you're going for a LP then get a burst if you can, unless the ebony just happens to sound and play better than the others

A mate is going to Japan soon. What effects pedals should I get him to bring back for me?

>>128023466
this isn't like MIJ fenders or other weeb hobbies
old vintage boss pedals are still gonna be expensive, even there, and aren't particularly rare in the west.
you'll only see much value in buying a japan exclusive guitar

>>128023409
don't forget to grab a pack of these or similar to make sure that the strap won't come off the brand new guitar

>>128023153
they're both shit. only the colors that don't have the cherry back and sides are good. way too fucking red and ugly

>>128023533
Yeah I’m buying strap locks for sure. What are the best ones?

>>128023560
it'sTHE classic color for a LP

>>128023579
those rubber washer i posted (any brand, doesn't need to be Fender) or pic related. these don't need any modification to the guitar, you just slap them over the existing strap button and forget about it

>>128023533
I only bought these to add a touch of red. They do the job.

>>128023597
black and white customs look better
>>128023579

EJ was the best guitar player after EVH

>>128023638
if they're good for Massa they're good for me

>>128023597
that's true and i still believe they got it wrong

>>128023632
And they really work? Like I’m not swinging the guitar around my neck but I don’t want them to back fall off if I lean over to adjust a pedal or something.

>>128023746
yes. they've worked perfectly we've each of my guitars. like you said, if i were to swing the guitar around like Yngwie, mayve i'd get seomthing else. but for normal playing they just werk.

>>128024402
did you grow up poor with retarded parents that struggled to pay bills? just because you have money in your bank account and stocks doesn't mean you're supposed to spend money frivolously. fucking retard. gibsons that cost 2k+ are made for boomers that have 5 million networths. you're not rich because you have 300k in savings, rentoid.

I'm a gumball machine tycoon. Passive income is king. Sometimes I get silver quarters in my machines, worth about 4 bucks. Have fun at work. All I do is drive my cybertruck to my gumball machines once a week and make bank, all tax free because I don't report any of this.

i have to pay $20,000 for a car that wont last 15
i have to constantly upkeep a house and continuously buy groceries that get more expensive every month
why can't i spend $4,000 on a guitar that lasts 50 years?

>>128024476
you think gibsoy would be able to stay afloat if that was really the case?

>>128024597
boomers out number young people and collectively have 100x their spending power. no one under 30 thinks gibsoys are cool anyway, no one famous has used les pauls since like 2003 when they would still appear in post hardcore/emo band music videos. millenials that listened to those are nearing 40.

It was the week of Mardi Gras, and the streets were all noise and glitter brass bands howling through Bourbon, beads flying like artillery. The city pulsed, drunk on itself.
Mountain and Gary Greaser rolled in around sunset, windows down, Burger King wrappers flying out the back of Gary’s truck like ticker tape.
“Gary, bud, I can feel the music in the air!” Mountain bellowed, slapping the dashboard. “This town’s ALIVE!”
Gary flicked his cig out the window and grinned. “This town’s trouble, pal. Let’s just get some jambalaya and not get arrested this time.”
Mountain nodded with the solemnity of a man who had every intention of getting arrested.
They parked near Jackson Square. The air was thick fried dough, sweat, perfume, brass. Mountain pulled his uke out of the back seat and immediately began strumming a rendition of “Hot Cross Buns” in A minor.
People stared. A few cheered. One guy threw him a bead necklace. Mountain caught it mid-riff and said, “That’s what I call payment in tone currency, partner!”
Gary just sighed. “You’re killin’ me, big man.”
They wandered through the crowd, Mountain half-singing, half-shouting random lyrics about redemption and catfish. They ended up at a street corner near a dive bar with a flickering sign that just said “BEER.”
Inside, a blues band was playing. Mountain got that look the one Gary called The Itch. Before Gary could stop him, Mountain was on stage, uke in hand, interrupting the band mid-solo."Mind if I borrow the vibe, fellas?” Mountain asked.
They didn’t answer, but he started playing anyway wild, unpredictable, all wrong but somehow completely right. He belted a verse about how love was “like a Whopper left in the sun still good if you believe.”
The crowd went nuts. They didn’t know if it was parody, madness, or divine intervention.
Gary just sat at the bar, head in his hands, muttering, “This man’s gonna be the death of me.”
Then it happened.
The Incident.

Mountain’s stomach growled like a thunder god. The crowd cheered louder, thinking it was part of the act. Gary’s eyes widened. “Oh no…” The inevitable IBS storm rolled in.
Right there on stage, surrounded by beads, booze, and brass. Someone yelled, “He’s baptizing the bayou!” The band didn’t stop playing. The saxophonist just pivoted into a funk groove.
Mountain, drenched in sweat, finished the song strumming through the chaos like it was all part of the plan.
When he hit the last chord, the crowd erupted.
They chanted his name. “MOUNTAIN! MOUNTAIN! MOUNTAIN!”
Gary dragged him off stage and into the night air.
“Buddy,” Gary said, exhaling, “you just destroyed a stage, a crowd, and possibly your pants.”
Mountain looked up at the full moon and said, softly: "Art ain't clean Gary, its real."
Then they drove off into the humid dark, the city lights glinting off the hood of Gary’s truck, the sound of distant trumpets fading behind them.

I heard G&L is closing up shop is that true?

'fraid so

Starting to question whether or not I should buy a AAA top Les Paul because I could buy like 3 really good mid range used guitars for that price. If I buy the Les Paul it’ll be my only guitar I’ll have to gig with. But then again it’s a Les Paul.

I could buy a used American tele, p90 revstar, charvel, and a PRS McCarty se for the price of this one Les Paul and have every tonal base covered. Or I could have a Les Paul.

>gigging with a 4k les paul
lmao bro, you'd be either out of a guitar (stolen) or a neck by the 2nd show

>>128026181
if you buy one really good guitar and get used to the way the neck feels and playing on it (the subconscious muscle memory) you'll be a better player and be spiritually connected to your instrument

>>128026181
there's no reason to own more than one cheap guitar

>>128026235
not if you gig in respectable places where no one would dare steal such a quality instrument

>>128026235
Not 4k, 2500 after my discount. But I could buy this McCarty se for 700 and it’s actually really decent looking. And then I could buy a used American tele for 800, used charvel for 600 and have every base covered for gigging and still have 400 left over for another shitplank or a red dot for my handgun. But I’ve always wanted a Les Paul.

So is there any special magic to the wide range or wide range squier copies? I know the CuNiFe on the originals is supposed to make them cut and high-end responsive but I don't have any faith in a ceramic-based clone.
I still do want a telecaster, but iirc the magic was the bridge pickup on a plate screwed into the wood, then the neck pickup is taller/thinner which makes it warmer compared to a basic bitch single coil.

>>128026297
If you want a gigging HH you don't mind losing, EART makes surprisingly decent LP/ESP-LP clones with surprisingly faithful alnico PAF clones, but they are a liddle woofy.

Les Paul... a Jewish "guitar player" in the TV business who sped up his recordings to sound like he could play fast
Why would I want that man's signature on my guitar?
Why would I want a dolled up, gaudy nigger version of a Telecaster that cost twice as much and sounds half as good?

in the late 00s you could get 90s instruments for stupid cheap as well

vintage premiums take a while to come, it's like cars, the moment you buy it it loses value and only regains it if it becomes a nostalgic prized item

we're paying 3000+ usd for technology from the 1950s that is 90% done by machines nowadays when we buy new

>>128028059
that's correct yes

>>128026699
The entire point is to have a nice guitar to practice and gig with so I can find a good band fo join. It’s not a precious heirloom it’s the standard cost of a Gibson Les Paul at 2500 dollars. Fuck, even used they’re almost that much. Nobody is going to steal my shit, I don’t drink and I carry a firearm. I’m more worried about a crackhead breaking into my car at a gas station for my gear, but I just have to keep an eye on my shit when it’s in there. I mean my modeler and cab are going to be just as expensive. Guitars are meant to be played not sit at home and taken photos of (I.E. offset chuds)

>>128027473
get rid of the lines on it and if it wsn't bright white and that guitar looks sick.

>>128027703
There are a few that are sought after like the Baja tele but the problem is it wasn’t a good era for guitar building. Everything from 1990-2010 kind of sucked ass. Like I remember going into guitar stores in person and not a single guitar even their like 3-10k dollar diamond room shit played horrible. Newer guitars are much, much better.

guitar effects are a cancer planted into guitar culture by keyboard fags to ruin us from the inside out
don't fall for it

>>128028314
Hell yeah

>>128028314
I agree somewhat. They can be cool if they’re used tastefully like the edge or the guitarist from incubus or smashing pumpkins stuff like that. But most of the time they’re just used as a crutch to cover up sloppy guitar playing. One of my favorite songs that uses a tremolo effect pedal is heavy by collective soul, wouldn’t be the same without it.

way too bossy

>>128017213
>>128017235
Just to clarify I went through the controls and checked eveything last night.
1st nob is bridge volume.
2nd nob is neck volume.
3rd nob is tone for both pickups.

This just seems wrong to me, I am going to open it up and if there's enough cable I am going to swap the 1st two pots so 1st is neck, 2nd is bridge and leave the tone on 3rd.

Just bought a schecter C-1 stealth for $300, it's great but I'm going to replace the pick ups.
What's a good pair of humbuckers for basically everything apart from metal (I already have another guitar that's great for metal tones).

Help I just got my first HSS strat and the pickups sound like shit in middle/bridge position

Now when I know scales, how do I make music out of it? How do I know in what order should I pick the strings within the scale?

>>128028457
This will do everything the axe fx does and more. Like I said later this year or early next year they're going to have a capturing / profiling function and then the word on the street is they're going to introduce a new variax pickup system that allows you to capture and model pickups. You'll be able to split stems for songs so you can practice along without the guitar track or add parts your band can't play live. It'll automatically switch effects and channels based on specific songs in your set. And the algorithm is the most realistic tube simulator ever made. Watch the video, it's worth it. They go in depth about how the new agoura modeling technology profiles specific aspects of the electrical circuits, voltage and characteristics of the actual amps. That's why they're able to achieve the "feel" and response of a tube amp with the technology. It's extremely impressive, the UI is extremely impressive, the possibilities are endless and it will only get better as time goes on and they release new updates. Also, the entire thing is modular for hardware upgrades in the future. It's amazing they can even offer this thing at a 2000 dollar retail price point.

I think the thing I'm most excited about is being able to load all my covers in with a click track and cues and have it switch all my effects for me without having to dance on the pedals. Let's say you're playing a cover of van halen unchained, you can have it engage and disengage the flanger exactly like the recording. Or just for songs where you need to go instantly from distortion to clean to a delay or modulation for a certain part it'll do that for you. It's like having your own digital guitar tech pressing pedals and switching channels. And obviously you can still do it the old school way if you want to do that, but the fact that you can just have a set built for your band and not have to even think about touching your pedalboard while you're playing to me seems cool as fuck.

>>128028522
No, that's how it should be. First volume should always be bridge. I didn't realize they had a separate neck volume, most guitars with strat style selector switches don't. But it is kinda cool cause you could do the tom morello tremolo stuff or back your volume off to use it as a clean channel instead of switching amp channels. Neck pickup should always be second because you use the bridge more often.

>>128028664
Use AI to find solos that use the scales you've learned and then pick ones that sound interesting to you and learn their licks. Look up common guitar licks tutorials on youtube. There's no specific order, although sometimes it's better to build and release tension by utilizing root notes in certain places or avoiding them altogether. Definitely don't just run scales up and down cause that sounds like shit and isn't musical, unless you're just doing a speed run at the end of a solo or something.

Guys I recommend to learn licks from:
Gilmour
Angus Young
Billy Gibbons
Knopfler
Jimmy Page
Marty Friedman
Eddie Van Halen
Dimebag
Jerry Cantrell
Dean Deleo
Randy Rhoads
Zakk Wylde
Kirk Hammett
Mark Tremonti
John Mayer

I mean unironically just pick guys that sound like what you want to play and learn how they do it.

There’s only one scale: the chromatic scale.

>>128028729
Because of my formatting or my choices? I was trying to think of guitarists that use interesting and sometimes unorthodox licks and have a variety of stuff you can learn and put in your bag of tricks.

>>128028729
this, you need to learn irrelevant meme shit

>>128028736
Which are the only scales you need to know. Friedman is the outlier, his shit can get wild sometimes and he has a very unique brain. The solo from foreclosure of a dream is one of the most unique and interesting solos ever recorded. He has a lot of far east influence in his playing.

I don’t mind effects I just loathe pedal boards. Connecting all the shit, powering it all, configuring midi, dancing around the entire set, worrying about signal chain and on top of that having to carry a bunch of heavy fragile shit that can get liquids dumped on it or smashed. Meh. I’d rather just get an extended warranty on a single multi effects modeler and replace it if something goes wrong.

Modeling and its consequences are sign of how fallen we’ve become. It’s fine if you’re a bedroom hobbyist but big acts using them is pretty fake and gay IMO.

I need a delay pedal. I’ve been waiting/holding out for the Behringer BM-14 Moog clone that’s coming out soon, but I’m tempted by the JHS flight delay and the BeeBeeDee. I kinda want analog though and the BM-14 is analog and half the price of the other two. I got their phaser, the 12 stage BM-13 based on the old, very rare Moog, and it is the best phaser I’ve ever tried. Any suggestions outside of the three I mentioned? It doesn’t have to be analog though that is a plus.
