The whammy pedal is really fun. I have a line 6 mk2 coming today. Will probably be the last pedal i buy all year

>>128294399
always wanted one. never got around to it.

>>128294399
>noise suppressor
you just like throwing money away

>noise
options:
1. play
2. cut volume down real fast
3. ignore it
4. spend 90 dollars on a pedal

how can i play these jazz shapes? picrel is specially tiring to the point i tried to make the chord a different way

Happy Halloween. I hope you all write something extra spooky today.

>>128294432
When I use my superOD there is a buzzing noise. Even with my gain low I still heard it. Once I got the noise suppresor it stopped. I only really need it when I'm stacking the distortions. If it's one at a time then I dont hear much.

>>128294410
Which one the whammy or the line 6?

>>128294458
I tried all of these and I couldnt ignore it, could hear it while I played and couldnt hear my bass if I turned down the volume too low. Seems like some FX's need to be at a certain level or they're drowned out

new guitar arrives today

>>128294572
Whad'ya get?

>>128294571
>Which one the whammy or the line 6?
the whammy pedals.. but for guitar. had no idea they had a bass one.

>>128294651
very cool. you gonna do a setup on it? Can’t imagine a national needs one but I’ve never seen one in person

>>128294674
if it needs it yeah, but I'm with you on doubting it'll be necessary

>>128294490
I should have made a darker themed /gg/ edition. I forgot it was even Halloween. Oh well, Buddy extinguishes the Darkness.

Guitar center really fucked me on this one. I sent an email the corporate supervisor who put the credit on my account informing him. Hopefully this puts pressure on them to send me a free Revstar or something.

I keep looking at this Squier '50s classic vibe Telecaster on the used market. I have to spend money elsewhere, though.
Kindasuxx.

Anyone else see uncommon or weird boutique guitars and think why / how does someone choose to play something like that when good name brand guitars exist? You might have the worlds best playing best sounding guitar but if it has a fucked up headstock that says something like "Novo" on it then I'm going to completely disregard you as a guitar player and immediately put you in the poser zone.

school me on Wenge necks and fretboards.

>>128294829
Some are cool. Anderson guitars are killer, but I don't have the money. I can afford a nice Fender, so not complaining. But those are like the cost of 3 nice Fenders.

>>128294833
Idk but this schecter has me jonesing. Only problem is the nut width of 1.625 otherwise this would be my next guitar. Tbh I might still buy it and just deal with the crammed nut for open chords. It's essentially the same neck that comes on the EVH wolfgangs, which I owned and could play but it was very crammed for stuff like one last breath where I'm doing a lot of intricate fingerpicking and fast chord changes. It has a wenge neck and natural ziricote body.

>>128294829
I like Conor Oberst, so I like Fano.
I never liked Les Claypool's custom bass.

>>128294880
That bass has always pissed me off man.

>>128294484
are u referring to all the chords in the tab or just the one in the pic?

pic is a much comfier way to play that chord in particular

ultimate guitar is filled w rough drafts and shitty tabs unfortunately. your playing sounds very nice though :)

>>128294829
I don't see how this is so important to people, vast majority can't tell one guitar brand from another

>>128294869
i just can't get over how bad 99% of schecters look. i've owned one and it played great but man, they're ugly

>>128294953
All of their guitars more or less adhere to the same dark metal aesthetic

>>128295014
They used to be a Superstrat/modder company like Jackson and Charvel. These are the Schecters I tend to like.
I guess that one above is a mix of both aesthetics.
They also have Robert Smith's stuff. I guess it's still "dark", but gothy.

>>128294953
That one looks fine to me, but it's the only schecter in their lineup I like. It's just a natural wood superstrat. Headstock is a bit goofy, but I like it better than any of the current charvel offerings.

>>128294952
Correct. Most people only know if you're playing a gibson or a fender and that's why 99% of guitarists should play a gibson or fender. Like it or not your image matters to people and will have an effect on how popular your band will get. To the average person they would likely assume that an Anderson or Novo is a chinesium knock off of fender not a more expensive boutique guitar. The only people you would impress with those are other musicians.

>>128294829
It’s the same type of person that insists on only drinking boutique small batch craft beers. I’m not talking about the type of person that prefers a fat tire or Sam Adam’s over a coors light, but the type of person that only drinks “Appalachian swamp possum 9000 triple India pale ale seasonal small batch 14.7 ABV” thinking it will impress normies when all it does is impress other try hards.

>>128294829
Tons of genuinely talented and humble artists out there but you’re busy being worried about what it says on their headstock? That's not what music is about dude.

>>128295075
This is the stuff I would be posting on the net if I was a gibson sales rep

>>128295223
It seems they’re the ones who are worried about what’s on their headstock if they’re spending 7000 dollars on a jm clone. I haven’t really seen anyone who plays one of those guitars that does anything interesting or creative with it. It’s mostly guys like Rhett shull who make boutique and vintage gear their entire personality. And let’s be honest nobody says “wow Rhett shull, he’s a fantastic musician.” It’s usually “Rhett shull the YouTube shill that makes clickbait videos?” So maybe that feeds into my negative perception of boutique brands.

>>128295223
he’s right tho. other musicians, producers, and labels actually are worried about what it says on the headstock

If your pedalboard doesn't have a cute anime girl on it, can it even be called a pedalboard?

I've never had a pedalboard in my life

>>128295507
fookin biblical.

CAGED will serve your purposes 99% of the time.

The correct answer to the boutique vs. vintage vs. modern off the shelf is = all gear is cool except for that new PRS Herman Li monstrosity

>>128294912
>pic is a much comfier way to play that chord in particular
ty, yeah specially that chord in particular, the others i can manage

>>128294829
I really don’t care what somebody else chooses to play. I like my Fano because I wanted something that felt like a Fender but sounded like a Gibson with P90s and the Fano fit that bill perfectly. I don’t care what the headstock says (unless it’s something super gay like PRS or something)

>>128294399
How do you like the OC5? I have an OC2 for CKY type riffs but it’s seen better days and despite keeping the settings the same 99% of the time, occasionally it will sound off.

You ARE part of the club, right? You DO have a membership card, right?

>>128295983
>paying an extra $2000 for the same thing as the vintage II but someone dragged it across the floor first
nah

If I buy a guitar body with a neck pocket cut for a Fender neck, and buy a complete neck from someone like Warmouth, will the guitar be able to be set up when assembled no problem or will it need final fret work? I want to put together a parts caster and the one thing I don’t know how to do is fret work. I want to buy a complete neck that can just drop on.

>>128296021
I’ve never had a problem with a warmoth neck (I’ve had 4), maybe 1-2 slightly high frets. not enough to cause buzzing but detectable on a rocker. highly recommend getting the graphite rod upgrade tho you’ll basically have to adjust the truss rod once every 5 years.

>>128296021
They rarely ever fit without any problems, usually you have to sand the neck pocket to get it to fit properly in my experience. Best to buy the body and the neck from the same manufacturer if you can, if not it's not a big deal just some extra steps. Also make sure the body is the same heel type as the neck (strat vs tele)

New marcin vid just dropped

Last night I kept getting unknown callers. They would stay on the line, breathing. Than hang up. This morning got a text from work asking me why I came in on my off day. I didn't though? I realized... My heart sank. He's doing it again. My Sweetwater rep got his hands on another custom lifelike rubber mask of my face. He's out of prison on good behaviour, and he's going around acting like he's me. He's trying to become me. He reconciled the relationship with my ex wife and shes been calling wanting to give it another try. He's aggressively making accomplishments I never could. Almost like he's saying, "I'm better at being you than you are...". I'm starting to question if I'm even real. If HE deserves to be me, the real me...

>>128295774
I like the OC5 a lot. I don't use the lower octave that much but the higher octave they have sounds good with my distortion setup. Mixed with the whammy sometimes I get this super heavy sound that initially sounds like a guitar

Think I’m going to go with a black Revstar, but I’m going to replace the tuners with graph tech ratio locking in black, bridge with graph tech string saver tune o matic in black, and tailpiece with a black or gotoh, whatever I can find that fits. Probably going to go with Les Paul speed knobs. Should make it extremely stable tuning wise and will look and sound better. I think those things will solve every hesitation I have about the Revstar and make it feel more premium.

>>128296203
Kafkaesque... I'd say call the police but I don't know if they can stop a force of darkness like that. If it would even be safe to engage him. This is a man that doesn't negotiate. He serves the customers needs, wether they know they need it matters not to him... He lives by a code. He keeps on serving the customer, serving... He says he will never die... Hee hee hee...

>>128296252
what are you going to do to fix the body shape

>>128296021
It's likely you will need to work some magic to get the neck to fit in the pocket, but if it's a good neck you won't need to do any fret work

>>128296257
Andy stop this foolishness. Your family is looking for you. Give it up. I shop at gc now. It's over. I'm sorry.

>>128296252
Nevermind graph tech makes the tail piece it’s just not on their website for some reason. So cool all graph tech bridge and tuners and then whatever knobs will look good.

>>128296260
I like the body shape. I don’t like the brushed nickel chinesium hardware. Seeing as it has stainless frets I’ll only have to get it professionally set up once and then it should be solid for a long time. The bridge will help the tuning stability and resonance and the tuners will make tuning / restringing a breeze. Only other thing people say suck are the knobs so I’ll have to do some research and find out which ones are drop in and look good.

>>128296257
Lay off him Andy. I don't want to have to send my rep on a containment mission. A rouge Sweetwater rep is a loose cannon. You are smarter than this. Think about the oath you took. Do no harm, remember that? I spoke at your christening ceremony for hecks sake.

>>128296307
The headstock looks really sick with black hardware in my opinion. The black bridge will help as well. And I’ll probably just end up going with these for knobs to make it easy and color match.
https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/KnobShortBC--gotoh-vk3-metal-dome-knob-black-chrome

Might be a good idea to order some black chrome screws for the pickups and pick guard. Only thing left that will be chrome is are the pickup covers but I’ll wait on that to see how it contrasts. Should look really neat.

>>128295457
don't care about funko pop pedals. function >>> fashion

>>128296329
That poster wasn't me...

I always loved the way this guitar looked with the white binding and everything else black. Might need to just get the black pickup covers if I can find some.

>>128296340
Japanese-y.

>>128296360
He has EMG pickups

>>128296377
Yeah I know I’m just saying I like the black on black with white binding look. It looked even better before the binding yellowed. I definitely don’t want emg’s. But I’m also not sure what pickup covers are compatible.

>>128296391
EMG makes passive pickups too

>>128296391
Heck maybe I’ll just get a set of black covered JB/59 and call it a day. If I can get the guitar for around 600 with my credit and discount then I’ll have the money to do all that for under a grand.

>>128296415
Everyone makes passive pickups. Depends on the sound you’re looking for. If the stock ones sound good then you can find a set of compatible black covers.

>>128296415
If I go aftermarket I’m going Seymour Duncan. They make covered pickups. The intent is not to clone Kirk’s guitar I was just saying I’ve always liked the general look of it.

>>128296426
idk sounds like you’re cloning his guitar dude

You know it's one guy that spams sterile gear questions and answers himself with an even more boring gear comment. This guy is sick in the head. He wants to make the thread as boring and dry as possible. I think it's some Goober that doesn't even play guitar. I know this because I'm him.

>>128296442
Uh huh. I'm him.

>>128296442
Why do you do it? If there were no gear comments would you die?

>>128296453
Too much for JB. It’s overrated.

Last 10 posts all me btw (by the way)

>putting $300 pickups in an epiphone
worrisome

>>128296454
I think he’s talking about me. I’m just trying to figure out what guitar I want to get and how to modify it to my liking. I guess talking about guitar accessories in a guitar general upsets him. We can go back to talking about heckin pedalrinos

Kind of want a thinline tele for no reason, I know it wouldn't even sound different from the tele I already have

>>128296476
I’m buying a Revstar, not an epiphone. Is that why you keep saying I’m cloning the Les Paul custom?

Look. He's cracking...

>>128296476
I had an early epiphone Lucille. The stock pickups were dogshit. Replaced with a Fred in bridge and air norton in the neck. It was a great guitar.

I’m sorry what

>>128296489
It will a bit. i'm sure someone else could describe semi-hollows better. It almost feels like there's more space or air around notes. The resonance is different, I guess...despite the same pickup characteristic the two Teles would have.

>>128296550
depends on what you played but some of them have microphonic pickups on purpose

What is your number 1 guitar? What is your number 2 guitar? Do you have a backup for your number 1 or number 2?

>>128296526
Dimarzio Fred in bridge position.
Dimarzio Air Norton in the neck position.

>>128296576
fender p bass. no, basses are very reliable

>>128296576
My only other electric has large gauge strings for drop A, so no I don't really have a backup, if it broke I'd just play bass or something

>>128296511
The stock hardware is not good. If I can find black covers for it I won’t bother swapping the pickups.

Look at him go bros. Not one comment on actually playing the guitar. And vocaroos, clips of playing? Forget about it. Anybody got some good info on truss rods?

>>128296630
You act like you know how the thread should go. If you knew anything (you don't), you would know truss rods are one of the most important developments in modern guitar design. Ok? Good luck getting your string hight where you want it. Your glib. Go make posts about playing in the shill thread, instead of ruining the end of the day for everyone down heeah. Your nothing. You will never be anything WHO ARE YOU! You suck! And I've earned my right to say it. I walked Paul Reed Smith on stage in 1997 NAMM. Suckah. Hey the FUCK outta my gear thread.

Cool it with the racism goober. It's boring.

I injured a ligament playing bass a couple weeks ago but who gives a fuck

>>128296630
On they didn't like this one lol

>>128296678
I thought we all agreed that either all of us are making it or none of use are making it. Who is trying to hustle on the side?

>>128296685
They didn't need truss rods except for modern design. The nylon/gut strings of old instruments never exerted that much pressure. That design turned out to be shit when steel string guitars popped up. Funnily, Martin didn't even keep up with the times until like the 70s. That was when they first included truss rods. So if you ever got money to blow, getting a vintage Martin is a bigger gamble than other stuff.

It's Celtic, and is the best holiday of the year. If you're not White, that's unironically fine, don't celebrate.

>>128296630
what are you even on about? great contribution btw

What guitar would you bros recommend for an asexual-ironic sex pest with a massive forehead and extremely small chin? Asking for a friend.

>>128296731
classical guitars also have/had considerably larger necks compared to the typical modern steel string acoustic/electric guitars

>>128296760
Gotta be a Gretsch Penguin my guy. That guitar was basically designed for you.

>>128296770
Yeah. And to their and Martin's defense, they tend to use quartersawn or better wood. Which would be more resistant.
Now we have electrics that are like quartersawn and double truss graphite reinforced. It's all over-engineered..but I'll take it. Can't go wrong at least.

>>128296476
My SheratonII has 57 Classics, upgraded wiring and tuning machines. It's a beast.

>>128296798
Whoa tell me more about the history of quartersawn wood used in martin guitars. I'm in the edge of my seat. And how many layers do they usually use in laminated tops, do they glue them together? Where do they source their glue? Do they make it in house?

>>128296798
you could totally get by with 3 graphite reinforcement rods and no truss rod but that requires making sure the neck angle, fretboard, and frets are all shaped accurately which is far too much work and liability for manufacturers. even the 40s martins that used ebony rods or t bars very rarely had relief problems. it was the top and sides of the guitar caving in after decades of string tension. I also like the graphite reinforced necks because you typically don’t have to retune the instrument during temperature and humidity changes

>>128296747
>implying Satanists and kikes haven’t co-opted the holiday as a way to traumatize children early in their development and make them easier to control
Yeah I don’t give a fuck man I’ll never celebrate this “holiday.” Even if it doesn’t have sinister intentions, at its core it’s just a marketing scheme by giant jew run corporations to get you to consoom like Valentine’s Day.

There are only 4 legitimate holidays

Independence Day
And Easter

>Do you respect wood?
I guess I do. As trees and as lumber.
Guitar strings are putting at least 150 lbs pressure on the neck. That's like a little manlet sitting on your neck at all times. It's a good idea to have strong wood.

Maple necks are good, I’m on the fence about maple fretboards though. To me they’re just a too little bright.

I am visualizing that. What’s next

>>128296964
What are your guys thoughts on Rocksmith anyway? Is it solid practice?

>>128297033
In the same way that playing guitar hero is a skill, but I don’t see how that translates to actual guitar playing skill.

>>128297061
maybe for technique but simply playing a tab doesn’t do much for learning music unless you analyze what’s going on rocksmith is terrible in that regard

>>128297061
You are playing the guitar unlike guitar hero, it's not bad. But you could go farther with dedicated practice.

>>128296973
Maple necks are the best necks.

>>128297063
What's more funny is people who are really good at guitar are usually fucking terrible at guitar hero, they're really two different skillsets

>he realized his cover was blown and seamlessly pivots to Rocksmith topics
Bravo. A pleasure to witness sir!

>>128297077
And its basic techniques like notes and timing. You’re better off learning the songs by ear or watching lessons on YouTube. Better yet get a guitar teacher

9/10 of the last posts were by me. Topic Rocksmith (which I have never even played)

>>128297101
That’s because real guitarists want to play the song like it would be played on a real guitar, and guitar hero players only care about buttons and colors.

>>128297101
I've never even played Guitar Hero.
Or seen Jurassic Park. Or heard Taylor Swift.

Calling her a musician is a bit of a stretch. She’s more like a celebrity.

>>128297129
See what I mean?

What are you? A boomer or something?

I can't even follow what half of you are upset about most of the time. Just uh, be happy. It's really that simple.

>>128297061
Session mode is fucking awesome. You can try a lot of gear for free, you don't have to buy any boxes or pedals for your room.

>>128297188
Is there an actual modeler built in or something?

Where can I get Rocksmith anyway? I remember seeing it in stores like 10 years ago

Taylor stop trying to steer the thread twords "OMG it's Taylor". Your so weird. Guys don't like tall girls lol. This is an Olivia/Avril thread anyways.

Jimmy Page is still alive. Unless you mean best one currently at their peak?

Taylor is a regular bro

Britney puts all you girls to shame anyways. She was a Micheal Jackson level artist in her prime. I bet she can absolutely shred in the studio too. Some people just have it. Taylor wouldn't exist without Britney.

>>128297191
amps, pedals, etc

>>128297318
I knew I could sense the feminine energy. Is she the offset poster? How deep does the rabbit hole go?

>>128297320
As IF. Britney can sing and is an elite dancer but she can't entertain a crowd with just an acoustic a microphone and a chair. She needs a pole onstage to draw a crowd. I'm an actual folk artist sweaty.

>>128297355
She's hotter than your hunch back gangly ass buck tooth crime of a look. Sweety.

Jeez Britney chill. We like both of you damn...

I see you

John Mayer (traditional) and Buckethead (experimental). Definitely Julian Lage for non-rock guitarists. New captcha sucks btw.

>>128297407
America's sweetheart. Taylor could never...

>>128297267
Page was the better songwriter, but Blackmore the better player imho.
I don't know. There are way more skilled players out there these days. Or has been since EVH. These guys are old guard, but they still stand out for more than just skills. EVH looked up to them too.They have the badass mystique.

>>128297200

The best guitarist currently alive is a strung out degenerate that perpetually has his gear in and out of pawn shops and has an innate ability to ruin every relationship he enters thereby never being able to get a project off the ground. I've met at least half a dozen people like this. Answer B: John Mayer

>>128297436
credit to Blackmore, he can definitely play more complex than Page, but I feel like good songwriting and playing skill are both equally important otherwise Tim Henson mogs everybody.

Hard to disagree.

Unfortunately didnt like this but that's okay with me. I think I'll use what I have to try and get my own tone instead of copying everything that gibson does.

>>128297563
nice bulge stepbwo

Subtle racism in my bass book? Whats going on here

>>128297481
That sounds like me..

>>128297739
Is that Hal Leonard, bro?

>>128297563
What didn’t you like about it? It's got a Space Echo built in and that's my favorite

>>128297762
Yes it is. I got the bass method complete edition. It's the only reading practice I do but it's really good.

>>128297770
I wasn't a fan of how it mixed with my distortion stuff. The guy I was trying to copy actually uses the guitar version on his bass, which I didnt know. So that is also probably why I didn't like how it mixed. On its own it did sound fine but I'm trying to find things that will help me get the tone I'm looking for. I also couldn't figure out how to get the tap feature to turn off. I kept hearing a click in my amp

>>128294309 (OP)
Can anyone give me some slap bass tips?

>>128297828
That's cool man. I'm working through Hal Leonard's guitar book, too.

>>128296489
I made my own
With p90s of doesn't sound like a regular telecaster

When playing slap bass how do you do it without pain and bruising?

>>128297856
Do you miss the tele bridge, or do you prefer the p90 bridge?

>>128297853
Have you completed any of the books?

>>128297877
The bridge that was on there was a piece of shit it was never ever able to be intonated properly so I'm glad I have this new bridge that string through instead of string across. So no, I don't miss the bridge pickup or the bridge.

Do I need to pull my foreskin back when slapping the strings? I think this is my error.

>>128297885
Book 1. I'm on The Water is Wide for book 2 right now. I started them to work on my sight reading as well, and to iron out the fundamentals I guess

>>128296489
Is it because the pickguard is shaped like an erect phallus?

>>128297980
never heard of people doing that. usually you just use it to keep your chewing tobacco moist while you sing

How do I get the low-down stinky, Memphis tone?

>>128296705
Nigger

>>128297980
you get better tone with the head

>>128298037
Too late. Now my head is bruised. Should I be hard for this? Half mast maybe? It not only hurts but I can’t get that funky sound.

>>128298047
What is a “rake?” Drag my testicles across the strings. How does Less Claypool do this shit?

>>128296476
People out $300 pickups in squier mustangs, what's the big deal?

Akg opening for oasis in japan. Song name is Senseless, turned 20 years old this year. I don't even like LPs but Gotch has made want a Special a little.

Is their a name for this chord? Chord identifier says no.
Basically a C-chord but the first finger on the third fret.
>E-not played
>A-5th fret
>D-4th fret
>G-open
>B-3rd fret
>E-open

>>128298892
Cadd9?

>>128298942
Can't be, my first finger is on the 3rd fret B string.
It's just a C-chord pushed to the 3rd fret instead of starting on the 1st fret

Watching people use the self checkout at the grocery store makes you realize how incompetent and stupid most of the people around you are. It quite literally takes them 5 minutes to scan 2 items and remit payment. It’s like watching a monkey try to figure out which shaped block goes in which shaped hole.

>>128298969
Dsus4add9 maybe idk. Sorry misread half of that I just woke up

>>128299000
idk chord identifier says it isn't a chord but it sounds good

>>128299012
Maybe even Dadd4add9 since you still have the major 3rd

>>128298892
Some flavor of D add something. Just playing the A string, D string, and B string is just a D, adding the open G string but no open high E makes it an add4, adding the open open high E string with no open G makes it a sus2, adding both the open G and open high E makes it idk some kind of addsus420

>>128298808
But it was my first time playing it!

>>128299046
>>128299026
It's a Dadd9add11.
Oolimo says "The tension 11 causes a strong dissonance when used with a major chord/major 3rd!" but it sounds good

>>128299076
Keep that shape and play it with your ring finger at the 10th fret and that makes a cool sounding G

Played that Boogie today. Aint no thang. Niggas gonna hate tho watch.

>>128299076
the 4 is in the same octave as the 3rd so idk if that’s right

>>128299076
It’s a cadd9, extremely common chord voicing. Doesn’t have to have the high e string in it but you can either play it open or fretted on the third fret of high e as well. The pre-chorus of plus uses this chord, as well as the verse in sweet home Alabama a ton of Van Halen and AC/DC stuff.

>>128299128
*plush

I swear you people are illiterate

>>128299154
bro should’ve just said an open C chord moved up two frets

>>128299154
the only thing you're gonna be playing is my skinflute when im done with you

Me standing over my arthoe bitches who bring me presents while I play to ease their toil

>>128299154
I didn’t read your gay little fret by fret breakdown you just said c chord with the index moved to the third fret. First of all it’s not a c chord if you’re starting on the D, faggot. So you’re the one who’s illiterate.

Just want you guys to know I love you and all the shitposts about gear are all in good fun. All gear at all price levels are welcome, except Ibanez.

Do you like rock music guys?

>pyramid
can’t be bothered to seal or put a hanger on their package. prob made by some guy smoking a cig in his garage
>aquila
trying to look professional on the cheap
def the pyramids for an obscure/classical instrument

>>128299741
But Ibanez are the best guitars

>>128299874
the pyramids are 6 bux cheaper, and also probably technically the worst, but who knows how they're packaged inside and that classic art is banging.

agreed about the aquila. although they do remind me of old savarez classicals, so I had to try them out, along with the whole synthetic gut thing.

How do you guys hold your guitar/bass while sitting?
I sit like Fig 1 because it's the most comfortable way to play for me.

I sit like this with my bass and I sit like this with my jazzmaster. feels good, man

Nothing wrong with a good Ibanez.

>>128299945
1 for classical when i'm doing the fancy shit, 2 when i'm just fucking around or most other things.

Why is there not a singing general?
Or is singing different than guitar where you actually should take lessons

>>128299911
do you mean the pyramids sound bad or just theoretically you’re expecting them to be? that’s a shame

>>128299945
for guitar classical position makes sense because guitar is ergonomically a nightmare. for a p bass I have the strap set to where the bass doesn’t move at all if I go from sitting to standing and use the forearm contour as an arm rest. I play 4-5 hours a day every day with no problems and have perfect textbook left hand technique. for guitar it’s the complete opposite, the guitar digs into my forearm or hurts my shoulder and my fretting wrist is under constant flexion and my tendons hurt after a few hours

>>128300064
>4-5 hours a day every day
damn son. are you a studio musician?

>>128300102
no just disabled (not that disabled anon) and generalized anxiety disorder. 1 hour is highly structured practice to metronome etc, another hour and a half is just holding it in my lap and subconsciously working on technique while I read or watch tv, and 2 hours is just playing/learning a song/noodling. my father in law has been playing piano for 30 years and we jam once a week/church gigs/weddings

>>128299844
>>128299881
>buy active bass
>electronics fucked after 5 years
and I take good care of my things. it wasn't even the battery. jack was done for for no reason

>>128300149
more like inactive bass

>>128300149
Was it one of those long thick (pause) barrel jacks? Those things are awful

>>128300024
They're cheap strings and there are better, longer lasting options, some of which is feel and preference on a given instrument, but higher grade strings do last longer and don't get fucky as fast. It's like buying cheapo classical strings at the music store. they don't last and one string may or may not be a nightmare the whole time you have them. Luckily the equivalent of the G string is usually wound, although it does sound a little weird being wound and clear is an option that has the same problem if done wrong.

>>128300158
yeah no shit. I googled a bit and found that that's a common problem with Ibanez basses

>>128300173
rip. pouring one out for the single guy working at pyramid

>>128300024
also, you tend to run oud strings a long time, long after they'd be "dead" on a spanish guitar, because that's the sound, and you want them to hold up before they get the fucky funk that throws intonation off.

>>128300184
They are the ernie ball of oud. With none of the options, but the same price and expectations.

>>128299945
Classical position when I'm sitting down to play, which is rare.

>>128300167
and veiny on top. a replacement isn't expensive, but it still sucks that they put shit hardware in it.

>>128300145
does the constant practice actually make you any better? some rest sure would do wonders - just so your brain can rest from time to time

>>128297342
I ruined anything that wasn't song practice mode when this came out because I didn't understand what an amp was or cabs nor signal chain and made a giga-abomination setup.
The modeled sounds aren't actually bad which is surprising.
I'm just mad that rocksmith seems to have relatively low latency but I have to buy a DAW or input to use amplitube or tonex without 500ms lag.

>>128300237
there are some things I need to practice every day because I’m very advanced at it or it’s just good to do so (finger plucking speed, ghost note accentuation, timing) but honestly I can not touch the bass for a few days and still see progress. so, I’m definitely overdoing it; you could practice 30 mins twice a day and have the same results as I do, but you have to be more selective about what you practice. I like to really analyze and learn what’s going on in basslines I like and that can sometimes take two hours and not much physical work gets done. I actually quit for like 4 months one time but was still really listening to music and my ear was better when I picked it back up

>>128299945
Mostly 1. Jazzmasters have the superior ergonomics for sitting or standing.

>>128297253
I would argue that a lot of professional classical and jazz guitarists are at a level that most rock guitarists would never come close to, technically speaking

>>128300344
no question that true classical players are the most technically proficient, but they’re also specialists and that comes with drawbacks. that probably puts jazzers at #1 but they are so up their own ass sometimes that what they play is not enjoyable

>>128300344
I figured if there was an honest top 100 list of people who listen to the full extent of guitarists, only 2 or so rock musicians would be in the top 10 and the top 20 wouldn't include most of the usual lists.

Who is your favorite guitarist that nobody seems to talk about? Mine is GE Smith.

>>128300464
Norman Blake. his fashion is off the charts

>>128299829
You get the shit 3 channel dual recs that no one wants for that price, not the superior 2 channel or 3 channel multiwatts. You cant get a mark 5 for $1000 lmao

>>128300657
I sold a mk5 for 1200 2 years ago they can be had on marketplace for cheap. Not on reverb you have to look locally for someone who needs the cash. Speaking of which I found this and he will take 800 so whenever the gc fiasco funds hit my account I’m gonna buy it. I figure out if the two if it’s between a black Revstar and a black studio the studio is the better guitar and has a nitro finish. Will upgrade the bridge and tuners on that too.

>>128300723
Rare desperation sales are not indicative of market value.

IMO, just go with a true Marshall unless you like a band that has specific tones only the Mesa can do. They share 90% of the same tone footprint.

>>128300768
Reverb resellers aren’t either. They sell for what people are willing to pay. I’ve seen plenty of mesa heads and combos for under 1500 recently. I bought it for 1400 and it was on marketplace for a month before I did.

>>128300748

There’s a fucking 90 in that pic for 1100 smooth brain.

>>128302111
Yeah because my car kept breaking down and I just spent another 1000 dollars on it today. So I can’t afford the fucking Gibson lp standard anymore. And that studio is a better guitar than the Revstar. I don’t like studios but for 800 bucks I can tolerate it.
