How many of u niggas played for at least an hour today?

What are some good songs I can play when I try out a guitar at a store?
I want to get one of those new cheap Gibby LP Customs, but I don't want to look like a poser.

New thing to add to the pile
Modest Mike modded. Got a nice deal for it.

>>128097753
I played with my penis for more than an hour today

>>128097764
Whatever you want, nobody cares and if they do care they’re homos

>>128097764
Hi Bocchi fanboy, maybe try actually learning guitar first

>>128097833
whats the mod do?
>>128097764
i saw one of them at a GC recently, theyre lovely
been tempted by them too

>>128097881
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7221tTqp1bY
Yeah, I fucking love this. Maybe I'll learn this and see if anyone catches the reference.
>>128097912
What color? They're all so good. I'm thinking black because it's classic, like a grand piano.
I really love the buttercream top with black back too.

>>128097753
i play about 2-3 hours every day but feel like i should be doing more

>>128097987
its the cream with black sides
id probably go for the black too though, its the classic one and i already have a creamy yellow Gibson

>>128097912
https://www.modestmikesmods.com/boss-color-effects-pedals
tl;dr: Higher quality and much cleaner sound, like a Waza Craft pedal but imho much better.

>>128098041
crazy how the custom just pops amongst the others

>>128098041
I am not a Les Paul guy but if I were to get one it’d be a tough choice between white or a gold top. Not too into the bursts or the black and I think the fancy veneers and the colorful colors like reds and blues and greens are just too gaudy looking. White (especially aged white) and gold tops both just look so good.

>>128098222
it really depends desu, les pauls certainly look better in person though
never actually owned one come to think of it, or even a les Paul shaped guitar always been doublecuts

>>128098071
thats pretty cool, i wish more pedals had the slider style controls instead of knobs
much easier to see whats happening at a glance

Electric guitar

>>128098027
why do you play with yourself for 2-3 hours a day

>>128097987
Yamaha > Gibbons any day of the week

bass, nebula

>>128098331
it feels good

>want an overdrive to boost/tighten amp
>but also can act standalone as mid-gain drive

Am I asking too much? BD-2 sounds too flubby used as a boost.

>>128098475
BD-2 isn’t flubby, you're doing something wrong

>>128098475
if you want a gritty drive just use fuzz

>>128098475
that soldano pedal sounded insane when i demod it

my $230 capo should be here friday

>>128098637
XAMN

>>128098637
nice my $8 gameboy advance game should be here Friday too

>>128098674
hell yeah. the announcement was more for others to laugh at my expense, but i really hope it isn't a piece of shit. i've got a nitro finish neck and i leave my cradle capo on there. 99% of them are rubber that will burn the finish

>>128098674
What gayme

>>128098695
im sure it’s precision craftsmanship for that price, theres nothing to laugh at really that thing should last a couple lifetimes

>>128098695
I don’t care about messing up my nitro, my acoustic has some finish damage from a capo on the headstock and an electric on the neck and part of the body from the rack I keep it it. I play them, they’re going to get worn eventually so no big deal
>>128098765
Butt Ugly Martians lmao, I had it when I was a kid and had a lot of fun with it. I fully expect it to be not nearly as fun as I remember it being when I was 10 but who cares, $8 free shipping to relive memories is worth it

Hey if that guy who bought the white Charvel in the last thread is still here can you tell me the model of your white Charvel please.

>>128099044
People just like to delude themselves that junk planks are "just as good" and the other end pretends that $2k or more for what is ultimately cheap wood and metal isn’t an utter waste. Mid ranged guitar + a great amp is king.

>>128098876
>>128098813
yeah i'm hoping so: machines threads and custom cnc stainless to fretboard radius and neck carve. normally i don't care about finish wear but i don't want the neck to feel bumpy around the 2nd fret. i had a guitar with a dent there once and it drove me insane
also nice game lol. never played that one but i liked the gba era

>>128099099
The real key to sounding great is being a great guitar player. That's what no one wants to address. Eddie Van Halen's original guitar was pieced together from spare parts, a parts caster. The pickup was an original PAF and his amp was a good Marshall but he built the guitar himself. Slash recorded his best work on fake Gibson Les Paul that were built by Chris Derrig. Very few legendary guitar players made their best music with expensive gear.

>>128099044
i saw this exact thing with p bass pickups like stock vs custom. dude was playing on a $1200 aguilar head with a lot of drive and compression. of course it's going to sound great

>>128099141
Anything will sound great through pro level amplification and then mixed afterwards. YouTube has become too centered on providing a career to people and that's why it's not inspiring anymore unless you find someone who isn't trying to hawk products and be a whore for brands.

Does bass even need a top end amp for recording? Darkglass or whatever mid hardware is probably good enough to lay down strong tracks.

>>128099150
so true
>mixed afterwards
this shit is really unfortunately when listening to solo acoustic guitar stuff. it's like damn why doesn't my guitar sound that good? oh yeah it's post-processed

>>128099161
no not for recording. a p bass with flats plugged direct is about as good as it gets for tone.

>>128099097
Looked like a pro mod San Dimas

>>128099131
The frankenstrat may look bad but it was made from some quality materials, better than the junk you'll see on amazon. But yeah I agree great players never needed expensive guitars or pedalboards.

If you’re buying expensive gear because you think it’ll make you better you’re retarded. If you’re buying expensive gear because you can afford it/have saved for it and it’s something you genuinely like and enjoy that’s ok. You’re allowed to but nice things.

how he gets this tone?

>>128099443
It’s literally in the comments

i don’t read those

>>128099353
preach brother

>>128099353
>You’re allowed to but nice things.
You're definitely allowed to, but maybe examine the why behind your purchases. I know of a guy with a very nice LP Custom he bought almost 9 years ago, and to my knowledge that's been his only guitar outside of two that were gifted to him. I'm not saying only buy one guitar ever, but that contentedness is a real virtue.

>>128099443
I clicked play and then was reading the rest of the thread and came to the conclusion that this person is a tranny based on just the audio alone, upon further examination of the video it seems my inclination is correct.
How is it that something can sound transexual?

His father never taught him how to properly hold a pick... many such cases...

nice guitar do they make those in mens?

did ya hear what I said tone? I complimented his picture and then asked if they make them for men hehe

>>128099687
Eh I kinda like it

bros....

the implication being that its a guitar for ladies
hehe

If your guitar is any other color, the ladies room is that way.

>>128099687
i like it. would be sick with the gibson shaped headstock

You boys aren't light in the loafers are you?

Nobody in /gg/ has multiple “nice” expensive guitars. It’s all cheap shit, middle tier shit, or maybe one nice guitar that cost a bit of money. Arguing about buying nice gear in /gg/ is especially funny.

>>128099756
no, no. oh heavens no. at least, i don't think so

Art Bell here. Inside the Rockies, your on the air, let's hear some riffs.

>>128099769
There are a few people in /gg/ with multiple $2k+ guitars, what are you talking about?

>>128099930
Hey art, long time caller first time listener. Been hearing strange sounds in the mine. Very eerie feeling. Saw some moving shadows and orbs. I had my ovation acoustic with me and kept playing major chords. Seemed to keep the dark energy away. Also the reverb in here is pretty far out.

>>128099971
$2k is mid, friend. I'd even consider a $4k guitar mid.

https://voca.ro/17AUaUw3VhSu
it's coming along not quite there yet

>>128099990
Not bad. Keep up the good work. Seems a bit choppy at a couple of the changes, but you will get it. Please turn your radio down when calling.

I love my Telecaster.

>>128099988
maybe if you consider strictly cost. the returns diminish very rapidly after $4k

What is a good setup to wirelessly monitor in ears when my stadium xl comes in? Any recommendations? I have a high end pair of shure in ears already. It would be a bonus if I could run a wireless guitar from the same pack. It should be at least bar gig quality.

>>128101598
You’re a pro and just come here to shitpost am I right. That would unironically sound cool as a bonus track on an album.

>>128097282
Dude, some of the sources are pirated from Scotty Wests absolutely understand guitar program. He spent years putting that together and no one would even spare $20 for his course which predates YouTube, sad.

Opened up the back plates on the new charvel. Looks pretty clean.

>>128102838
Looks intimidating. Also is the trem supposed to have that much wood in there?

My guitar is special, look at this

If you’re not prehearing everything you play, you’re just masturbating. Slow down.

>>128103002
This is how it supposed to look

2 point trems should be the overwhelming norm, and floyds or vintage six screw a rare treat

you are transported to 1957, how would you invent heavy metal using what was available then?

Tubes warming up as we speak

>>128102643
Thanks for the compliment anon but no, I'm just a hobbyist wanker that got into recording recently. I like to wank over vocaroos that I find funny or fun for practice. Maybe when I feel I'm good enough I'll start a fiverr account to pay for my strings lol.

If you found that one amusing here's another unsolicited collaboration with guitar mouth anon a few weeks back https://vocaroo.com/1k2TluKvqucx

>>128102838
I've been following your blogpost with the stadium + frfr cab. Congratulations. Curious as to what it would sound and feel like in the room (not recorded/DAWed) as compared to your tube amps before. Cheers

Practicing at my mom's house today in preparation for the 530 jam session tonight. Going to try and get some more of the hal leonard bass method book done but I might just end up playing along to songs all day. I forgot my drum machine but I can probably find youtube drum beats to play over

>>128103285
Here's a little low gain tone demo of the guitar with a neural mkIIc+ plugin. It's a JB/59 set so it sounds like any other set, but the 1500 floyd is very nice, a lot smoother and quieter than a 1000. I was doing some van halen earlier and it played awesome. The neck and fretboard are so slick it's like effortless to play compared to anything else I've owned and I've had 2 other charvels.
https://vocaroo.com/1aMHXN0ZWVdr

>>128103285
I’ll let you know. I haven’t even plugged the cab in yet and probably won’t until the stadium arrives. I live in a townhouse and the neighbors are elderly. I’ll likely only use it for rehearsals and a bar gig once in a while. Now I just need to reactivate my band mix profile and start finding people to jam with.

>>128103285
Also forgot to mention that the dude at guitar center who sold the guitar to me plugged it into a 5150 III so that’ll be a good reference point for in the room toan. Maybe I’ll take the whole rig down there and see if they want to a/b it.

>>128103440
Cool riff, nice toanz. Looking forward to your report cheers

Anyone here ever gave their amp for restoration? Specifically a vintage tube amp.

>>128103858
Yes people give me theirs for restoration all the time. You should send me yours and I’ll fix it right up.

>>128103872
Oh that's cool, sending it rn

early 00's MIM standards, yes or no?

>>128104056
Remember it like it was yesterday. Very punk rock.

>hey Jerry sorry about the bass pl
>Ahhhhhhhhh

My current signal chain is
GE-7 -> BD-2 -> bass combo amp (an old 1x10" Carlsbro one)
and for recording I do
GE-7 -> BD-2 -> audio interface -> bass amp/cab sim in Helix Native -> reverb plugins (my favorite so far is Arturia Rev PLATE-140)

I wanted to keep everything as basic and analog as possible/reasonable, but at this point it's 100% clear that a reverb is absolutely essential for the stuff I'm currently working on.
Plate/hall reverb pedals are inherently digital. I also want a universal solution in a compact box for playing into amps, direct to PA and recording. I was thinking about SansAmps and the like, but so far I haven't seen an analog preamp that fits my use cases well enough to not additionally need another utility box or two.

So...
RV-6 + IR-2 (~$370 + $150-200 for an isolated power supply because daisy chaining will become too noisy)?
Or should simply completely surrender to digital and get a GX-10 (also ~$370)?

Jerry will bust you up fr. They didn't call him Jer Bear because he was soft and nice. Jerry was ruthless. Any goober that tried to stop the jam was served the stairs. End of.

The lizard kin/gg/, every one.

chat how do i get faster and better w my chord placement? like i just... feel slow?

I went 15 years with sub $500 Mexican guitars or sub $1000 Japanese guitars, I didn’t buy my first US made guitar until after 15 years of playing. Now I’ve got more than a few $1500-$3500 guitars only because I’m old enough to be able to afford them now. There’s nothing wrong with kicking back with a nicer cheap guitar.

Play it slowly til you can do it perfectly then start speeding up.

How should I go about sanding the nut slots on my LP? Took it to a tech the third time specifically for this and the guy still didn't do it properly so my strings get stuck. Honestly sick of these incompetent techs already so I'm gonna do it myself, even though I'm worried I might screw it up. Only got sandpaper on hand though.

Thoughts on Japanese rock bands like Babymetal or BandMaid?

>>128104429
Revstar is my dream guitar.

>>128104567
novelty garbage

>>128104567
Pretty cool. The cosplay shtick works and the music is great.

Kinda fucking dumb question with no easy answers but anyway - I've started playing guitar at 31 years old. Been playing a few months alone and will start lessons soonish. Playing 30-120 mins a day. I don't think I'm completely hopeless, so what might I be looking after a year of playing, skillwise? Like should I reach something where some simple rock is quite easy, and its not just a complete struggle session erry time?

C#dim7
Acid Wraith Jester:(engage sapphire codex)... Frequency chart: Delta oxblood zenith echo... Nazareth Ural topaz sigma... "Enter text" (alpha mantis rover)...
(... END COM LINK OVER...)

>>128104588
You could get really good in a year with enough practice. Maybe not shred level but definitely able to play most famous rock songs.

>>128104588
Most "simple rock" is piss easy, you'll be playing them in no time with regular practice

>>128104567
Babymetal I have an opinion, I'm less knowledgeable on Band-Maid, I suppose they're the same thing more or less.
They're typically Japanese things. They're groups for the girls themselves and less for the novelty of them. For instance, I mean the girls that went to become idols wanted to be famous and shit. So they got into the business and did that and it worked for them, so okay. What's cool is as a human experience I guess it's good for them, it exposes them to cultures, it makes them travel, it earns them a living, the music is alright if people enjoy it. I don't give a shit that Babymetal don't listen to metal.
Same thing when I meet a swiftie, like yeah good for you I don't mind Taylor Swift, the girl is like "same, I guess heavy metal is okay". And we chat and it's a nice experience. For the idol groups it's likely the same nice experience meeting people and vibing, and in the end it's raw culture not superficial dick-measuring contests and shit. Mostly from the fact it's a typical Japanese thing, it wouldn't work here.

>>128104621
Yeah, "enough pratice" ofc doing a lot of heavy lifting. I'm having fun so far, but I'm not exactly teenager hyper focused on playing favourite bands random solos for hours a day. But I figure that consnistency and haivng some experience in "how to learn things" migh do some work.

>>128104686
am I doomeed to start liking prog or something?

>>128104603
I dont because my lady does :)

where's my boy slime?

>>128104059
I think the mid-late 90s ones were shite, but they started to get good again in the aughts.
I like looking through old catalogues, too.

>>128104588
Uh idk you might be able to play some simpler songs by then. I’ve been playing 30 years and I’m still learning

>>128104709
Well what level do you wanna reach then? Either way, a year of consistent practice would get you pretty far.

>>128104686
Classic rock music is one of the hardest genres to play. Try to play back in black all the way through, or anything in the zeppelin catalog. Even the simple songs like you ain’t seen nothing yet or Steve miller stuff is pretty complex when you get into all the rhythms, techniques and time signatures involved. Metal is far easier to grasp because it’s usually simpler chord progressions and power chords over complex voicings and barre chords. Enter sandman for instance is a very simple song in comparison to heartbreaker or even Rolling Stones stuff.

>>128104995
wrong

>>128105013
Not wrong. You can’t play back in black from start to finish with the solo. But I bet you can play a Metallica song start to finish.

>>128104980

>>128104954
lamo, reddit posts on this were full of "SON I'VE PLAYED FOR 54 YEARS AND I COULD NOT PLAY A HAPPY BIRTH DAY IF MY LFIE DEPENDENT ON IT". Very encouraging!

>>128104980
Play something like ZZ top, some easier Judas priest stuff. Maybe some Santana, stuff like that. Able to improvise, without sounding like I'm some old wanker playing 3 blues licks over and over. Maybe one day learn to shred a bit but its not really important, but just so I can say I can.0kk02

Got an aux/power combination cord for my phone from Amazon today and the jbl system in the Prius I just bought sounds phenomenal. Going to be blasting music like I’m a teenager again. This mammoth song is great btw

>>128105076
Song is the end btw

>>128104995
>back in black
>one of the easiest songs ever
Come on dude, you're just baiting now. Stuff like ACDC is really easy compared to metal.

>>128105022
I was learning Santana by ear with my teacher on my first or second year I think. Was fun. You'll definitely be able to play those with practice. Improvising too I think. Just gotta learn your scales and learn enough solos to get a bunch of different licks under your belt.

>>128104112
GX-10 is easily the better value, but if all you need is some always on hall reverb, the IR-2 does have that.

>>128104795
You guys were mean to him. Mr Slime is currently in seclusion in the west wing. He said you could have any rug in the house.

Where dat nigga slime at he prolly leveling up to level 2 slime sheeit

Whoa... never thought of it like that

Is there a website where you can make a custom tuning and it will tell you what the note is?

>>128105222
Noice. Wish me luck.

>>128105222
Post a vocaroo of you playing it so I can laugh

>>128104466
i try to do that but it barely works i mean
best results ive gotten was, after practicing sleeping. it really somehow gets you to a better place w your skill

>>128105022
ZZ Top is one of the most difficult bands to cover. Like you want him to learn advanced finger picking, hybrid picking, muting, bends and vibrato, slide, and artificial harmonics in the first year? Just because it sounds easy to you doesn’t make it easy. Santana is chicken shit compared to gibbons.

>>128105222
Try playing an outro solo to "Back in Black" that sounds as good as anything Angus plays without quoting the original.

Angus would've sounded better if he used a little phaser

>>128104567
The name "Babymetal" sticks in my craw. Other than that, they're alright. The circumstances of Mikio Fujioka's death seem kinda sus to me.

>>128105244
>if all you need is some always on hall reverb, the IR-2 does have that
It has a plate reverb as well. I couldn't find any demos though.
In general it feels like Boss tried to make the reverb part of IR-2's functionality as obscure as possible.

>>128105677
Yeah the way you set reverb and channel switch is really silly. GX-10 has a far better workflow, you don't even need to be plugged in to a pc to do everything except update

i feel like i don't have the precision motor skills for guitar.

I've been playing pool for years and it's still not automatic to me. i miss shots i make all the time.
>play part over and over
>play it right one time, fuck it up in different ways each time after that

>>128106585
I thought the same thing at one point but have seen substantial results in just 3 months. The thing about guitar is that there are a lot of crutches you can use to overcome physical limitations to your playing. Can’t hold the pick? Play finger style. Barre chords? Play in open tuning.

>>128106585
>>play it right one time, fuck it up in different ways each time after that
Don't think about the mistakes, take a breath, reset and try it again and slow down the tempo to make it easier(you better be using a metronome) not until you can play it perfectly but until you forget how to play it wrong.

soloing with scales finally clicked. I stopped using theory a year or two ago when I felt like it was holding me back and was doing everything by ear, but it all makes sense now.

Any of you tried noiseless P90s?

Just saw this on a fagufish video... Gibson's doing something slightly different for once?
Firebird humbucker in the bridge no less dayum. Wouldn't it be less spicy compared to just doing a p-90 however?

i wish i for into guitar when i was unemployed. now i don't brave tone to practice this shit

>>128107430
Sorry I gotta have a full size bridge humbucker. More pull on this strings.

>>128107504
20 minutes of focused practice is all you need

I really want a white Telecaster with a rosewood fretboard like Mike Bloomfield’s guitar.

>>128105368
Gl bro. Guitar's really fun, it's always worth investing time in it.

>>128105432
Lol if I saw this earlier I actually would have. Too late to play now. But please, enlighten me what's so difficult about it. The main riff is easy as fuck, chorus as well. Solo is pretty easy too, basically just pentatonic noodling. The hardest part is the break runs after the chorus right after the solo and even that's easy once you get the hang of it. So please, what is so hard about that song?

>>128105441
It seems like that at first but it's truly the only way. You gotta get your fingers acquainted with what they need to play and you can only do that playing slow. Once you're familiar with what notes to play, then you can start speeding up. And I'll agree with you on that, sometimes I'm struggling to play something then the next day I can play it great. It's weird.

>>128105552
It's just pentatonic wankery, it's really not that hard. It sounds great don't get me wrong but it's nothing difficult.

>>128107430

His signature Benton LP looks really nice. The purple one is gorgeous and that seafoam green is really nice looking too. Shame they were fucked by QC in a lot of them. I mean who the fuck doesn't check if there's a pickup screw missing before shipping it out of the factory?

>>128107739
Buy one. I believe in you

>It's just pentatonic wankery, it's really not that hard. It sounds great don't get me wrong but it's nothing difficult.
It's like the Blues. It's easy to play. Difficult to play well. And anyone beyond the most casual listener can tell the difference.

>>128108087
Such a thing exists?

>>128108101
Ignore scale poseur fags. They’ll complain about pentatonic wankery but take a dick in their ass over Dorian wankery

>>128107739
white + maple though?

side step and penta becomes outside god

I am having a real hard time improving my hybrid picking. I can play with a pick just fine and have played with just my fingers for longer than I’ve played with a pick, but combining the two together is just something I have a hard time doing. Picking downward with a pick between my thumb and index while also picking with my middle and ring just feels weird, it doesn’t feel anywhere near as comfortable as just playing with my thumb and fingers together without any pick

>>128107739
Buy one, white with rosewood is the best looking Tele out there. Be sure to go balls to the wall and chop out a cutaway on top

>>128108178
Why don’t you just try a thumb pick

>>128108191
I just bought a couple last week but forgot them in my cup holder in my car, thanks for reminding me. I need give them a shot. I have terrible pick holding technique in that I don’t really hold the pick perfectly sideways in the center of my thumb with just one finger like you’re supposed to, my picks are always more toward the front of the pad of my thumb and are more of a 45° angle instead of a straight 90° in my thumb and I use both my index and middle on the pick (probably a big part of why hybrid picking with my middle off of the pick feels so weird). Thumb picks orient the pick the way they’re supposed to be oriented which isn’t how I hold them so it’ll take getting used to. Terrible technique but that’s how I’ve played with picks for 10+ years, before that I just used my fingers. It’s hard to break the habit of bad technique when it’s deeply engrained

>>128108269
I totally understand because I had the same problem. You’ll get used to them in a few days though, the only problem with them is they fall off on upstrokes if they aren’t supported with the index finger but I don’t think there’s a lot of thumb upstrokes in fingerstyle. Godspeed anon

DC Special fucks. People say they aren't really Les Pauls, I say yeah, they're way better.

>>128106224
Not really the best modern guitarist per se but probably as the last popular culture guitar hero. Like the proper monoculture of the old before people were atomized by the internet. The machine has changed since then - look at how the industry has pivoted towards the internet for bulk of their sales/streaming/marketing as a gauge of success for pop stars. Someone with 10 million streams and popular to a specific age group may be a total unknown to someone in a slightly different age group but same geographic location because a lot of the internetz music is consumed in isolation. Whereas before if there was a hit, it'd be everywhere and you can't help but hear it because most media came topstream via tv and radio with little choice from the consumer.

>>128108178
Sans getting a proper teacher, observe the right hand mechanics of scary hybrid pickers. I don't know much but maybe they're the country players. Though personally I'm leaning into Anton Oparin's principle that there must be a universal proper right hand technique (that of course he sells courses for) with a clip of an olympic swim race looking like synchronized swimmers (who are even built similarly, see sprinters for a different case) due to scientific optimization; probably someone as large as Greg Koch (6'7") might find a more efficient hybrid picking approach that works for him compared to people a foot shorter.

What I do get from observation is that he's more of a wrist player with minimal thumb + index movement; keeps motions identical for efficiency and it's less taxing for the brain. He also supports his index with his middle finger when holding the pick for extra stability.

You can still relearn proper habits, I removed my anchoring pinky some years back. Rethinking my picking recently with Oparin's approach in mind.
Personally I use the ring finger when doing hybrid as well, but T I M R sans pick.

Thanks for reading my blog.

>>128108545
there are probably some universal motions when it comes to being but I think timbre would prevent any kind of absolute form

>>128108615

>>128108087
It looks nice but it's just a regular double cut in blue.

>>128108101
It still isn't THAT hard to play. No matter how much you try to fluff it up it's still a rather simple solo. It sounds great but it's really not that difficult.

>yoooo dude look at the SUSTAIN on this guitar

tone fags are so fucking delusional they can’t even recognize a scientific contradiction

>>128109856
When you suck at playing you need some obsession to fill that void

>>128109900
fair point. I thought Jim Lill put all this shit to rest

>>128109856
>scientific contradiction
Stronger magnets or more magnets of the same strength = more pull. Not hard to understand. Mini humbuckers have their own tone and it's not awful, but iit can physically never be a PAF.

Jim Lill pls fuck my bich

>>128109958
that’s not the contradiction. 99% of players want more sustain and articulation, stronger pickups gives you less of both

What's a pick that will definitely not rotate when playing? I'm gonna try this one next. The JP one is ass.

>>128110084
I don’t really like this artificial, overly angsty emo music. linkin park and SOAD were good because they were just kind of sad lyrics over normal music. whoever made shoegaze must’ve thought: I can’t even play this pop emo shit, how can I get away with playing less

>>128110155
Rotate? That's a problem with how you're holding your pick.
(definitely not) Flex? You want to break your strings?

>>128110155

>>128110155
Skill issue. The one you posted does have a nice grip though

>>128110155
I use these and also cut grooves and holes in them with a utility knife

>>128110193
maybe, maybe not. you should never grip the pick with more force than you have to do but ideally it would be better for his progress to get a better pick and develop his playing while getting better pick grip technique at the same time instead of just fighting it and being in development limbo for a month

>>128110314
I don't have the issue with some other picks so it's not the "technique".

>>128110343
I agree not all picks are created equal but at the same time you’ll get better at hanging on to shitty picks. just buy a blue chip and be done with it. they last forever

>>128110176
Loveless is '91. Slowdive, and swervedriver are 93. Lush is 90. Your timeline is off.

80s original emo is abrasive punk. 90s is like they blended that 1 to 1 with college alt rock. 2000s became hyper image driven melodrama pop.

>>128110458
I stand corrected

>>128110964
Who the fuck would buy that at that price?
I thought I was retarded for wanting a $4000 assembly line les paul custom, but this is a whole nother level.

>>128110997
There are a few anons here with $3000+ Telecasters, people buy stupid shit.

>>128111103
I suppose they would look like that.

>>128111037
naw the nicest telecaster here is mine and the most expensive is the CIJ AVRI 52 and he probably paid ~1500 tops

>>128111103
So he shills gear and sucks the right people off and gets free shit? I am jealous

>>128111208
The nicest Telecaster here is the rosewood Telecaster and he paid more than $3,000 for that.

>>128111037
A nice telecaster is totally worth 3k tho

>>128111353
he doesn't have it anymore and it was fake anyways

>>128111353
rosewood tele is a meme
his custom shop tele mogs it in every way

if you don’t fw v necks you ain’t wit it cuh

How much would you be willing to pay for a Les Paul?

>>128111645
$3199

>>128111353
My rosewood Tele is cool and was a dream guitar from when I was a kid but >>128111610 is right, it’s a cool guitar and I’m glad I have it and I enjoy playing it but my CS Tele is something special. The rosewood one still gets played and isn’t going anywhere but the CS one just feels like my guitar if that makes sense, playing it is effortless. The rosewood one is more of a “I’ve dreamt about this since I was 15 and could never afford it until now and now that I can I’m not going to let it slip away” guitar

>>128111645
Custom? $4k seems fair
Standard? ~$2k
Studio? Nah, only if it has dot inlays; then ~$1k

>>128111645
$0 unless it was a Special then $2k max

>>128111645
I’m willing to pay $5000 for a guitar I really like. I don’t really like Les Paul’s though so like $600 maybe

>>128111645
none of my guitars has been more than $400 so I guess about that
