Is it normal to have dirt in between my pickups?

it looks like my guitar pick is getting shredded and it's white, how often should I clean it up? It's very dusty

First for Boss IR-2 with onboard spring reverb

>>128038951
>Is it normal to have dirt in between my pickups?
yeah

>>128038951
No, microfiber that every time you finish playing.

>>128038953
>onboard spring reverb
watch the spring snap out and cut your dick off when you're moving it. then you'll wish you went digital

>be eric johnson
>be the only guitarist blackmore never talked shit about
how did he do it?

Reposting since the thread was already auto-saging:
I realize that I'm extremely, autistically hunched over my guitar when playing/practicing.
I try to force myself to sit up straight, but I slowly end up hunched again.
Any tips to counter this?
Playing standing, maybe?
Thanks to the anon who suggested using a classical guitar foot rest.

>>128038981
it's cool man. just own it. you're getting in the zone. bring your strap real high while you're at it. you'll look unique and no one will copy it.

>>128038981
You need stronger back muscles

>>128038981
Stop trying to look at your entire fretboard when you play and just look at the side dots on the neck as if you’re standing. That’ll keep your posture straight. The problem is you’re trying to see every string and fret. Everyone hunches over when they do that

using a footrest is peak gay. just hunch over, girls won't see your face you have a chance

Why do Japanese like the electric guitar so much when they have the Shamisen?

>>128039065
>Why do Japanese like the electric guitar so much when they have the Shamisen?
That's a good question. They have multiple cool string instruments in their own right. OTOH, guitars are too awesome.

>>128039022
>The problem is you’re trying to see every string
That's true. Do you guys practice without seeing everything?

>>128039104
I mean I hunch over if I have to for some lead stuff but normally bro I don’t even look at my guitar at all when I play. But I’ve been playing for 30 years. I might glance down at my side dots when I’m moving more than 5 frets to make sure I don’t overshoot and then it’s back to looking at my computer screen or whatever. Kind of like how after awhile you never look at a keyboard when you type.

>>128039170
what color is that?

>>128039174
lilac
it's not a factory color, i was inspired by an old lilac strat they came out with and that also had a custom shop version i believe?

nitro finishes are not nice if you actually play your guitar and sweat and live in a humid area, the upper layer of my entire guitar felt like bubblegum
i had it refinished in poly

>>128039185
That's cool.
Speaking of coors, I just discovered Fender has a Sonic Grey. I discovered recently they have a Sonic Red too (kind of a cross between Fiesta and Dakota), but for the longest time, I just knew of Sonic Blue.

>>128039202
fender has an absurd amount of colors, they come out with new ones often too
you think you know all your shit and then suddenly oh shit they did a special pee pee yellow run of mustangs in japan in the 80s and they cost 30,000 bucks and it's the rarest fender finish or w/e
pretty deep rabbit hole

>>128039200
all I have a nitro sunburst strat. I don't mind it looking like shit, but it hasn't really worn down much. Just in the neck area. Places I barely touch, which is weird.

Shell pink charvel, unfortunately had the sell the guitar this week. But I decided to downgrade vehicles and just bought the new pro mod plus Snow White San dimas and a stadium xl. I was tired of not having gear I could gig with and haven’t been in a band for 15 years. So I bit the bullet and sold my 2016 Camry for 13k, bought about 6k in gear and I’m buying a 7000 dollar reliable older car instead. I just like older cars anyway. But yeah I won’t have the guitar for a week and I won’t have the stadium until possibly first week of November depending on when line 6 ships.

>>128039311
>>128039415
This is not me samefagging btw I’m not shilling the stadium every other post. I just think a lot of people are super hyped for it.

>>128039415
:(
Shitbox for life though. I drive a beater from 2004; fuck infotainment and touchscreens -- I loath the day that I'll need to buy a newer car.

>>128039331
Not even about just about that. You get thousands of effects, the ability to capture and model your favorite amps and effects, the ability to control your backing tracks, click tracks, live mix, etc one single 8 pound device that you’ll never have to fuss with or change from venue to venue. You can still dial in one tone and use it as a stomp box if you want to. I think the agoura modeling is going to be so good that people won’t miss their tube amps anymore. At least for people that gig it’s a major game changer. If you’re a home or studio guitarist and you can crank your amps without disturbing anyone then for sure tube amps will be relevant for a long time.

>>128038969
That’s a beautiful Strat. If I ever get one, it will be that one

>>128039429
That Camry pissed me off anyway and I think it had some kind of transmission problem because it would occasionally click really hard and make a metal ping noise when I put it in reverse or gave it more than feather throttle from a stop. Could have also been a cv axle or something. But carvana wrote me a check without even looking at it so it’s their problem now. And I agree. The infotainment system fucking pissed me off because if I had my Bluetooth on every single time I got in the car it would auto play music or podcasts and there was no way to turn it off. So like 90% of the time I would just turn the Bluetooth off on the head unit. And older cars are so much more comfortable. I’m looking at a one owner 05 crown Victoria with 100,000 miles that was owned by a retired gentlemen who has all the service records and a spare set of snow tires for 4500.

>>128039441
>click tracks
Hate em! I hate em!

>>128039441
>You get thousands of effects
All you need is the effects you love.
Besides, going the traditional stompbox route is limitless. Multi-effects units are computers. They only have so much power to run multiple things at a time. With modeling and cab sims, that's already a huge chunk of cpu/dsp power. There's a limited amount of space for effects after that. Sometimes they're hardcoded to not allow to run too many things at once, but others give an option to stack a lot..and the only way to do it is degrade and throttle all of the other sounds. The amp or cab gets throttled a bit to make room for more effects. Older units to suck at this even more and eventually your amp/distortion sounds all tinny and shit, so most new ones limit you to prevent this.
With pedals, you're only limited by your electrical outlet power.

>>128039463
always practice to a click
playing with a band and finding out your natural groove isn't as natural nor as groovy as you think is a pretty rude awakening, get ahead of the curve and learn to play with a click

>>128039331
how do you find love in the amplifier world?

>>128039463
>>128039476
Click tracks are amazing for live gigging because it reminds you when the transitions of the songs are and it allows you to load in backing tracks you wouldn’t be able to play without having to manually cue them. So let’s say I want to play unforgiven by Metallica I can load in James’ acoustic stems and then just play the rest of the song, or the keys from jump, or the interlude and keys for no more tears. I never played with a click and did just fine but there is some massive benefits to doing it, even old school guys like Metallica cue all their shit with clicks now.

>>128039498
>So let’s say I want to play unforgiven by Metallica I can load in James’ acoustic stems and then just play the rest of the song, or the keys from jump, or the interlude and keys for no more tears.
sorry this isn't r/music senpai i ain't wanna play none of that gay shit

>>128039475
That’s true but I don’t run a massive pedalboard even with analog so that doesn’t apply to me. What it does let me do though is set up setlists and not have to tap dance or fuss with dials during a set. I don’t have to drag heavy ass amps around. I don’t have to spend a half an hour doing sound checks. It’s a convenience thing mostly, but also they’re starting to sound incredible. And you get everything you need for 2200 dollars vs spending 10 grand on a tube amp and pedal board.

>>128039104
Its suposed to be better for your brain to not look, because it frees up cpu sunce you are not processing it visually. But Im about where you are at I get so hunched over it.

Is the Quad Cortex any good?

>>128039475
You'll only max out the DSP if you’re trying to play 20 pedal shoegaze. It's no problem running amp/drive/delay/reverb/chorus all at once, hell you can even run two amps and channel switch or blend them on the higher end ones. And the Native will be more powerful than them all.

>>128039429
>>128039461
For me, its tube amps and a car that is less than 2 years old with less than 15,000 miles ;^)

>>128039566
It's passable

how do guitar companies stay afloat when the young ones aren't listening to guitar music anymore? it's all "beats" this "dubstep" that. none of these brainrotted people have the stamina or interest in learning instruments and you can barely even blame them for it.

They're still getting paid every time someone buys a guitar and gives up on it in a year, and every time guitar center orders 50 more cases or whatever

>>128040093
>every time someone buys a guitar and gives up on it in a year
how often does this happen? it's not the 70s/80s and unc rock shredding doesn't get you pussy like it did back then probably. the absolute biggest metal bands only get 5-10 million views on youtube when under 30 million is a flop for genres like kpop.

Learn Konnakol. It will make your music more interesting.

I can't decide which one to get. I will be replacing the bridge pickup with a duncan JB jr

Like $350 for a set. Pretty steep. They sound good. After posting that, I see that they had some issues and a recall a couple of years ago. Don't know if that's still an issue, but it makes me paranoid.

>>128040476
post roos when it arrives. Also have you had tube amps before? I'd like to know your experience on how modellers + frfr close can get in sound in feel in the room (not recorded)
I'm kinda GASing for a pa/monitor/frfr speaker since all my modeled amps through a tube amp sounds same ish through the same v30 speaker. But functionally I am satisfied.

>>128040401
hell yeah man

>>128040548
in the room theyre pretty good, id say 90 percent there
they kinda fall flat with like super high gain chugga chugga shit but that was probably user error
im just not a fan of them because you kinda gotta fiddle with them a bit to get the sounds you’re wanting, but yeah ive ran a QC and a toanmaster pro through a toob amp to great effect
>sound the same
i think thats just a problem in general with modeling/captures, they all sound good but it is pretty samey. The effects is the real boon imo
its just not my bag but i can definitely see how other people get great use out of them

>>128040530
Which ended up being a number one album and is widely regarded as being one of the best sounding albums of all time. He also played all the instruments except drums and vocals, produced and recorded everything himself. And mind you this was in the basement of a townhouse in Boston in the mid 70s when they didn’t have internet to google how to do shit. So yeah pretty impressive. He actually didn’t even like playing live.

He also played the Hammond M3 organ on this track as well as the guitar parts:

>>128040600

like i said before, criminally underrated and one of the few who actually deserves the title of “musical genius”

>>128040476
>>128040548
I will post vocaroos for sure. And yeah I’ve had tube amps. I had a peavy jsx back in the day, a 6505, and a mark 5 mesa. I’ll let you know. Supposedly the 212 cl is pretty impressive but it’s unknown how well it will model cabs and IR’s so if I do use it then it might have to be relegated to the built in cab ir’s. Which is fine I guess because it has 6 of the most popular options. And I only really plan to use it for band practice and small venues without a PA. But I’ll do several demos for you guys. I’ll try to hit every genre with different agoura models like probably the Marshall plexi, ac30, fender black face, orange, 5150, and bogner. Give you a little taste of everything. Maybe I’ll buy a shure sm57 between now and then and position it in the room for an idear.

>>128040505
was this the first headphone amp? if not the first ever, the first one worth a shit?

Saw a short talking about the "rising popularity of DI guitar tone" and uhh... when? They weren't talking about DI from amp sims or modelers either, they meant literal DI tone.

Jaco drunk is like me drunk. I like showing this video (there's like six of 'em) to any Jaco enthusiast, especially if they have that jazzbo hepcat aura. Jaco's just a loud drunk with good taste:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrT_P4GqfdM

What's worse is he gets exploited in a ((terrible band)) towards the end of his life.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSI_w8Y_Rvk&list=RDFSI_w8Y_Rvk&start_radio=1&pp=ygUObmlnaHRmb29kIGphY2-gBwE%3D

Like Jaco said, GOOD

>>128040706
probably some retarded reddit meme

>>128040706
The solo in another brick in the wall was a Les Paul gold top straight up DI into the console with some reverb in post.

>>128040623

>>128040739

>>128040582
>>128040658
Thanks for the info, and will look forward to those roos.
Yeah sometimes I wonder if it's PEBCAK (which I'm sure it really is, not much of a knob tweaker); but I guess it's reassuring to find other people find (QC in my case) modellers to be samey. IME though I find when doing 4CM/through front of tube amp that preamp?or DI? captures sounds marginally better than full amp models or the models in the unit. There's this weird low end sorta phasing out that I hear when the room dbSPLs get louder. Not sure if that's an issue with my amp/its fx loop or that models also have the power tubes modelling in them causing a weird interaction at those frequencies that I can't quite name.

>>128040706
It's thanks to youtubers becoming creators/influencers and using that to make a living. Not to mention companies trying to make it the next big thing as they are all financially incentivized to do so. Like a bunch of vultures swooping in or a snowball effect, the recent DI push probably came from some discovering Mk.gee's gear.

>>128040113
Me personally, i've been really into streetshitter guitar lately

https://vocaroo.com/1heIG0bs7hsY

>>128040785
yeah my best results have always been 4CM through a toob amp, you get a really nice blend
i found myself typically just using the modeller for effects and not the amps, which defeats half the purpose
i wish there was a dedicated unit for just effects that isnt retarded like the eventide thing

>>128039414
Iconic sounds pretty good too.
>>128039311
>Helix Stadium
Done the modeler thing, closest I'll get now is amp in a box(IR-X). Way less dicking around

>>128040706
I understand that guys like Paul Jackson Jr. were plugging straight into the board with a bit of compression to get their funky clean tonez.

>>128040833
What about the fractal vp4 or HX effects? They're effects only hell, you could get a Zoom for effects only

>>128040833
Have you checked out the HX One? https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/HXOne--line-6-hx-one-guitar-multi-effects-floor-processor
Had an old zoom g2 that functioned as that, even had a ring mod and volume swell that the QC doesn't have. If only the power switch didn't get stuck and local electronic repairmen here don't give a shit.
I find myself with buyers remorse and am kinda in the same boat but worse - I rarely use effects and the only active block on my QC is the FXLoop and a volume block before it which doesn't even sound better with just my guitar's knob due to it having treble bleed. But it's great to have since it's an all in one portable solution and serves as my interface as well.

>>128040786
That's cool, is that yours? If not which track?

>>128040940
Nile Rodgers too IIRC, and Cory Wong for the newer ones.

>>128040954
I’d wait for the new line 6 stuff this spring if you can. They’ll have the hx lineup refreshed with better toans. Hx effects is good though.

>>128040760
I think he was always like that, just that most people venerated him with this title of a refined jazzbo when in fact he was a street person. This is apparent as soon as you hear him talk or the fact that he preferred to be homeless towards the end of his life.

He seems to have the alcoholic gene, which is why his thought patterns in the video go from singing a song, shushing other people, then joking, and you get the picture. This triggers manic phases and creates a cycle of abuse.

I showed this video to some kid who idolized him and he was shook. Again, it’s hard to take the picture from his solo album to the sweaty and unstable person he tended to be.

Still, he influenced a ton of dudes. I prefer Percy Jones from Brand X for fretless work at this time but you can’t deny CONTINUUM as a sex song.

>>128040786
Sexy. I love Carnatic music and how it translates to Arabic maqams, which seems to be the missing link for Eastern European and flamenco music. I think this is why classical guitar always sounds boring because it’s not using a feature of the instrument.

My trick to do this in acoustic is to tune a guitar to CGCGCC, with the top two being the drone strings. I tried using coconut oil for the rapid articulations (gamakas?), but the roundwound strings shred my fingers. My fretless acoustic works way better but sustain is an issue

>>128041160
He would walk up to people in bars and do all he could to antagonize them -- insulting them repeatedly, spitting in their food, shit like that. Once they finally snapped and attacked him, he'd simply stand there and take the beating.
Fuck, man... using bar fights as a calculated method of self-harm is just a whole new level of screwed up, I don't want to imagine the chaos he was living with in his head on a day-by-day basis.

>>128041160
Don't think there's a specific gene for alcoholism; it's more of a gene giving people predispositions to addictions. There was a study about smoker parents or somesuch, forgot which substance exactly; their kids didn't necessarily end up as smokers as well but became habitual users of other substances instead. A predilection for addiction, an appetite for destruction.

Anyway here's another fretless wonder

>>128041240
>walk up to people in bars and do all he could to antagonize them
If only he lived today, he could have found a more healthy outlet trolling in /gg/ instead

Richie Kotzen just did a killer version of Say Hello 2 Heaven.

>>128041209
Had a shitter electric neck defretted, sustain was awful as well. Action was also shite due to the nut and a stuck truss rod had to junk it. Maybe it would be tolerable with a sustainiac.. Vigier has a fretless model but it's expensive, Bumblefoot is an ardent user.

I think that behavior stems from blackouts. I have bad booze behvaior and it can feed into negative emotions and resentments - especially when you feel that you’ve been ripped off.

As for genetics, who knows? I think it’s just that people desire emotional regulation. I drink primarily to lower my IQ; socializing with others isn’t about feeling comfortable, it’s more about dropping to a lower level/chakra. I mean, I’ve gone to a bar and said I was learning Bartok on piano and people looked at me like I had three heads. Two beers later, I’m watching sports and fake cheering to blend in. Being smart and talented is EXHAUSTING.

It also drives others mad, especially when they discover that you are always three steps ahead. Anyone who’s ever heard of ”why do you always have to be right?!” knows what I mean

When you play melodic 4ths, do you bar the notes?

>PRS SE Herman Li is 2k

>>128041394
He's the guy from Guitar Hero

>>128041394
He was in a band that sucked and only got popular because it was the hardest song on the original guitar hero. I saw them live with killswitch back in the early 2000s and they were annoying as fuck live. The rhythm guitarist was flamboyantly gay and Herman li kept picking his guitar up by the trem bar and dropping it on his knee like it was cool or something. He destroyed his original PRS prototype doing that shit. Now he shills on twitch for donations all day.

He says it's on the spot, I was going to go get a Spark 2 but if the blackstar is faithful and makes it fun to play... just might go for that. ISF seems retarded tho desu.

Yes, by about 50lbs.

Fellas what's a solid Floyd Rose guitar for under 1.5 new?

>>128042033
Revstars are awesome, I’ll likely pick another one up soon. Even the Indonesian ones are excellent.

>>128042171
Get the pro mod San dimas plus for 1300 it has a Floyd 1500 (push in trem bar and stainless bolts) Duncan JB/59, contoured neck heel, roasted maple neck etc. just get the black one tho don’t copy me cause my white one is getting shipped as we speak.

>>128042963
Thats correct. Beginners overstate quality because they have no clue about anything at all.

>>128041435
I enjoyed them before they got massively popular. Found them either via Chops From Hell or browsing mp3.com back in the day, can't remember exactly.

Here's another band/guy with some mp3.com era bangers (aside from the tracks with vocals):

THE NEXT MOD I MUST MAKE:
>thumb piano modular mount (I stuck it in with weatherproofing clay)

https://voca.ro/13F7FjBK825k

Fingerstyle seems like the only way but mounting ones for the left hand could work. I gotta tune them and see how low they can go. UNGODLY resonant.

https://voca.ro/13F7FjBK825k

I might add a snare sound of some sort with a tuna fish lid.

Far out

Art Bell here. West of the Rockies, you are on the air. Let us hear some riffs.

Now that I have some experience refinishing, I’m thinking about an offset partscaster. I’m thinking Jaguar body with a 25.5” scale neck, ideally a Jazzmaster neck, metal Jag style control plates, Dimarzio HB in the bridge, P90 in the middle, JM pickup in the neck. Olive drab matte finish with a maple fretboard. Essentially I want a 25.5” Jag with those three pickups, ability to split the HB and run in parallel with the P90 and JM pickup.

Different tubes don't have different tones or sounds. It's been tested ad nauseam. They are an eq that mildly changes things to reflect the sound characteristics the tubes "supposedly" have.

If you like how the amp sounds then cool, but do not buy one for this feature, its a meme.

>>128044508
Wrong. Not only do different brand tubes have different sounds, but you can change the tone by using different thickness socks on the same brand and rating of tube. Your ears just aren't sensitive enough to hear it.

>>128044027
A Jazzmaster with 3 P90s sounds silly on paper, but it has the widest band of usable tone out of any guitar I own. Jack Whites crazy Tele sounds retarded on paper but it’s pickups sound great and are equally mismatched.

I bought a valeton gp5 for $60 off eBay. Can't wait to fuck around with it. I was gonna buy a Boss Katana, but this looks like this will work out better for me because I know I would want to upgrade, and I think this would also be convenient for travel.

>>128045327
Wasn't Leo himself Dutch?

>>128045278
add some reverb or long delay because it feels like the solo doesn't mesh with the background - 4:00 had a good transition for a second. And the tremolo part was bretty gud.

SCORE: 6.5/10

>>128042741
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvrVrJmmi1I

>>128045794
Thanks. I did have some subtle reverb in there, a little too subtle apparently since you can't hear it in the recording. I'll work on getting it to mesh more.
It's strange to listen back to your playing when you've never done it before. I can be more objective when I'm not in the moment. Should have made this a part of my practice a long time ago.

I barely made it past 2 minutes of the DI one, sounds so bad that if all I heard was this single I would write these guys off. The amp one sounds incredible though.

>>128042741
For just a guitar solo jagoff fest? Probably Stevie ray Vaughan - little wing. It’s 7 minutes of the most beautiful guitar playing nobody will ever be able to recreate at the same level. It’s truly a masterpiece.

>>128046389
I can only guess it was a troll. Released 1975.

I hate these things. How the fuck do I mute between two strings which are played. I can miss bass strings and I can miss treble strings but I can't miss strings in between two strings that are being played

>>128039311

Cool, I just need to sound like myself though.

>>128044656
>doesn't post it

You other fingerings will slightly relax over the string that needs to be muted. You're not muting with picking hand, and it's simpler than you realize.

Express yourself with the vast array of amps and effects of the Helix Native. Find your unique sound.

>>128039148
Hondo were 70s era Japslop that got imported as a cheaper alternative to Gibsons. They're fondly remembered now because at the time they were the only cheap method to get into the LP style without going full Gibson. Any that survived to modern day are usually scalped because japslop is still better than chibslop these days. Was considered the "lawsuit" era since a lot of companies like Tokai, Electra, and fuckloads other Sears type shit was pressed out in that era that were close enough.

Beats chibslop by a country mile, and can usually found for midrange prices these days.

Practice until you don"t have to look at the fretboard. Muscle memory will usually help with getting rid of that hunch because you know your gear well enough to know where you're at. On stage occasional glances are cool.

Free melodies are everywhere. Go for a walk and listen to(record) bird songs. Turn on a soap opera in another language and listen to an animated conversation and convert that to tones.
Chord progressions can be mutated/manipulated/pinched parts of other songs, sped up, slowed down, reversed, rearranged, etc., until you can come up with your own.
Noodling like a retard is fun and good.
