omg thank you for the linx

>>128407599 (OP)
Anybody have experience with Fender Frontman 212s? I found one for pretty much nothing on craigslist and I'm thinking about it pretty hard. Need something that has a lot of clean headroom as a pedal platform

first for Stratocasters

got two racks of ribs and a pan of potatoes onions and cabbage in the smoker, boys

What guitar should I get for dedicated downtuned doom riffage? It's just an itch I need to scratch once in a while, not looking to spend too much

>>128407876
dont need any new guitars if its just an itch

>>128407840
I like tacos.

>>128407811
hss setup instead of sss so more versatile tones
nicer pickups
more consistent build quality for the price
stays in tune better than most cheap strats

I'd raise the bridge and take the buzz out of the low E.

I realized that I want to like Ibanez more than I do. I want to be a part of it, but I just don't love the guitars themselves. I wish I did.

What's with the fucking 3-saddle brass hate on this comment section? Are these all zoomers that have never listened to a Tele? Why not just get a Stratocaster at that point???

South of the Rockies, you're on the air. Let's here some riffs.

>>128407884
I'd have to tune all the strings down to C standard or some shit like that, I might end up breaking the fucking guitar

>>128408446
Hey Art, long time caller first time listener. Was listening to pop radio earlier and realized the correlation between the general vibe of the area and the playlist chosen. Realized some people aren't listening to the music itself, but the synchroconetic context.

>>128408472
You won't, but you'll most likely need to redo intonation once you go back to standard.

how frequently to you ni/gg/as change your strings?
im mad lazy about it

>>128408447
fuck forgot I had MyChord app

Gm, Cm, Gm, D

and it took me 10 seconds to figure the bass tab

>>128408446
Hey Art. Long time listener. Are they dispersing mid-range colloid screens to block Gorgon's ir sensors? Wondering how much intell you could get on battle of the bands opponents if you had access...

Gorgon Stare is a wide-area airborne persistent surveillance system developed for the United States Air Force by Sierra Nevada Corporation. It is designed to provide real-time, high-resolution video coverage of large urban areas, enabling military and intelligence operators to monitor movement and activity across multiple targets simultaneously. The system uses multiple electro-optical and infrared sensors mounted on aircraft such as the MQ-9 Reaper drone, allowing it to capture panoramic footage over several square miles.

Named after the mythical Gorgon whose gaze could turn people to stone, the system's "stare" refers to its ability to continuously observe and record activity on the ground, supporting counterinsurgency and counterterrorism operations. Gorgon Stare Increment 2 enhanced the system with improved processing, storage, and data transmission capabilities, enabling more efficient analysis and dissemination of surveillance footage.

>>128408553

Hey art, long time rhymer here. Do you think radio is still the way to go? Or is gaining a following something that only social media can bring? I miss the old days when things were simple, even if it was less eventful.

Art, you aren't allowed to call in to your own show

You can samefag if you want but your music is shit

Whats the difference between a drop tuning and a standard?

>>128408858
retard

>>128408553
i buy my daddario xs's in bulk packs
so once a month on my most played guitars

>>128408858
Drop tuning has the lowest string tuned down a whole tone. If you are in standard tuning your strings are: E, A, D, G, B, E
Now a drop tuning from standard would be: D, A, D, G, B, E

>>128408553
Never. I like the dead sound of a $6 pack of daddario 10-46

Sup nerds

>>128408553
I haven't changed them in over a year. Don't see much need to either

>>128408862
bitch. I’ll fuck you up so hard? bet u don’t know or you wouldhave say what it was

>>128408936
is this like one of those optical illusions where the lines are actually straight

>>128408936
yo this dude gettin ampegged

>>128408553
i have my guy change them out about every 2-3 shows

>>128408914
Thank you i was trying to figure out what the difference was between them

>>128408936
v4 or v4b?

Remember when the samefagging wasn't so obvious? I sure don't.

>>128408936
Fucking BASED

>>128409061
fuck ya mudda

Very good chance I get rid of oc5 also I think this sansamp might be a better fit for me. It keeps things on the low and thick. Plus the distortion from the rat into the bass OD just made my sound really high.

Test

How much of a difference is there in pickup voicings from different years? Fender has Telecaster pickups voiced like they’re from the early 1950s and also the mid 1960s, Stratocaster pickups voiced like they’re from the mid 1950s and also the mid 1960s. Is it really that much of a difference?

>>128409217
0%. the only thing two similar pickups can do different is output strength (resistance)

Come on man I fucking hate No doubt.

>>128408472
just get a heavier string gauge and you're good to go. and then possibly set the intonation like the other anon said. no need to buy a new guitar, unless they're all floyd rose style bridges in which case id understand

the ''beginner'' version of F with no barre sounds better than the barred version imo. ignore the x on the high e string, sounds good with it

ah no thats her right hand. had to go to the bathroom and use the mirror
dont blame me it's 23:30 im hella tired after a long day work

>>128410038
Schizo hours as usual for voca posters.

im still a beginner but i thought i had kind of sort of halfway got one of my favourite songs down so i recorded myself and hooollyy fuck it sounds so much worse than i imagined lmao. when im just sitting in my room playing it sounds way better than this so maybe the shitty recording software is making it sound worse? idk i think im just coping lol

https://vocaroo.com/1cMZ3hbXH4zP

>>128409838
>ignore the x on the high e string,
that makes an Fmaj7

>>128410098
yeah sounds like the recording is fucked up in some way
i do hear some technical errors as well, but i think alot of it is fucked by default

This is my favorite combination so far. The sansamp has better control of the tone rather than the odb3. If i want some fuzz I can get it from the big muff. Since I'm going to for sludge sounds, definitely don't need an OC5 for now.

>>128410098
While you are in the moment playing it's hard if not impossible to be objective. Recording yourself and listening back can be painful but it's a great way to improve and you are way ahead if you are doing it early on. You aren't bad, keep going.

>>128410120
i think he meant to barre across the 2 thinnest strings

>>128409932

Bogged.

>>128409838

The barre chord is easier than this one.

zoomers can't tune a guitar without a tuner and they can't know their intonation is out unless a tuner tells them. My pitch is really good, like top 1 percentile good https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/tunestest/test-your-sense-pitch and have no problems with 3 barrel tele or wraparound sg

>>128410411
Wraparound bridged are suh-weet. Some day for the sake of extreme minimalism I will own a 1-pickup, 1-knob guitar with a single patchcord going to a very small tube amp. I don’t know why, but it would please me greatly to have a set up like
This in one of the non-music rooms on my house, just to have something very simple but very high quality and capable of great beauty.

>>128410432
>buys nicer shit than you because he gets government gibs
sounds pretty black to me

That video of the tech trying out for EVH kind of opened my eyes to the intonation and setup business. He said he was guessing how the guitar should be adjusted because of where and what kind of playing EVH used.
Now whenever I tune and adjust a guitar, I expect that it's only going to be optimal in certain sections of the neck. A better setup or guitar might be near perfect full length, but I have to assume if I'm hammering the strings or changing positions by a wide range that I'm going to have to compensate.

>>128410479
fret distance for guitars was calculated over a century ago. you’re not going to get perfect intonation without a micro fret guitar or a fretless. you’re right that different parts of the neck will be more or less intonated depending on where you set your intonation.

Been goofing off with this chord, what’s it called
9
7
8
8
9
7
I’m using my thumb on the low E string on the 7th fret, my pointer middle and ring are playing a basic Am shape, and my pinky is hitting A string on the 9th fret and also the high E string on the 9th fret with the very base of my pinky finger (like it’s arched so I’m only sounding those two strings while the D G and B strings are still heard)

>>128410479
Didn’t EVH purposefully request some strings detuned slightly in order to sound better with specific riffs too, to complicate things? Runnin’ with the devil requires a slightly flat B string

>>128410506
Bmaj7 with added 9th and 6/13 or some shit

>>128410506
Thinking about it a little more it’s a Bmaj 7 and then the C# on the high E 9th fret makes it an add 9, right? So it’ll be Bmaj7add9? Or am I just making it too complacated

>>128410506
>my pinky is hitting A string on the 9th fret and also the high E string on the 9th fret with the very base of my pinky finger
Press (X) to doubt.

>>128410411
>>128410450
For me the issue isn't even intonation, which is already lame that they can't figure out. Rather the fact that they're all >omg it sounds le better >le punchier sound when it's literally a neutered Tele sound. It's baffling really.

>>128410517
yeah, one thing to consider when tuning is that when you strike a string it goes sharp. overwhelming majority of guitarists really gently hit the string when using the tuner then when they start to play their wiggerslam or 3 chord punk music everything sounds sour and sharp
the flattened B is a way to make A shape chords sound better when distorted
without a tunder I try to get E A chord and D chord equally out of tune which tends to be a slightly flat B string

I want to translate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vry-iAgfDCQ for guitar but I'm an earlet and theorylet who struggles with chords.
So far for the intro I got:
D
F G# A#
D# F G#
C D F G# (supposedly a pretty common chord, Dm7b5, inverted on C)
And then the second half of the intro starts with a C.
Did I get it right?

>>128410610
I go back and forth playing maj7 chords like a normal Am but with my thumb on the low E or with my index on the low E and my other fingers playing an Am and both ways I mute the high E string, and on a whim stuck my pinky on the A string and accidentally was also hitting the high E instead of muting and thought it sounded neat

>>128410546
idk if it's only the bridge, but that example does have better cut on the brass side. It's nice to have guitars sound different rather than everything kind of just be a so-so strat.

>>128410692
Yes

>>128410717
It's the kind of frustrating brainwashing that they acquire when their choice of guitars is ruled by overproduced homogenized guitar recordings. The same kind of upbringing that makes so many zoomers unable to fucking differentiate a Les Paul with humbuckers against P90s.

>>128410768
bruh most people dont know what humbucker or les paul means they just know what a guitar is lol

lol

>>128411383
Johnny come lately to the G&L party. You couldn't play really play one least afford one anyway.

Has anyone tried the G&L Z coil pickups? I am intrigued but there's nothing available to try where I live.

>>128411423
Sounds like a strat without hum. Not sure why Leo did it for the p bass and never again.

>>128411489
he did it on Gay Loser guitars.

>>128411515
true!

>>128411515
I meant never again during his time on Fender. Which is what we care about, not Gee hold an L

If you want a great fender styled guitar with more modern specs you would probably go Schecter, Charvel, Suhr, or MIJ Yamaha's before looking toward G&L. And that's a rather small part of the market, most people will buy Fenders even if the specs are worse, because it's the experience of having a Fender.

>>128411774
>Schecter, Charvel, Suhr,
dont buy these if there is a chance you want to sell them at some point btw

>>128411814
or if you have any sense of taste in general

>>128411774
Fenders sound better than all those brands because they use fender single coil pickups

>>128412322
True that. Go Fender.

>>128407811
>better looks

>>128407876
New Jackson Surfcaster model seems right up your alley.

>>128408553
until they sound dead or my fingers seem to stick to them due to all the grime, switching from EB to D'addario has really made a difference to me. The D'addarios seem to last twice as long until they're too nasty or sound like shit and they're only like 3 bucks more 29 euros or so.

t. own a couple six string basses that I play more than the rest of my collection

WHY ARE BASS STRINGS SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE!!! I would change them weekly if they cost six bucks like guitar packs.

>>128412574
ltd is their import line which is manufactured in Indonesia/China

they still charge ridiculous prices for those considering they are Harley Benton tier. I think the cheapest LTD start at like 600 bucks. Just like Sterling by Music Man they are really fucking overpriced considering it's chink shit. Might as well get a Jackson for a third of the price with the same looks or fork over 200 bucks more to get Mexican Fenders.

I normally think signature guitars are lame but I’m really considering buying a Jeff Beck signature Strat. I like the roller nut and the pickups they have.

https://voca.ro/1jmFQL6x8mYl

A month since I started learning and this is the best I could play after like 3 hours of practicing it. Why is it so bad. I don't even know why it sounds so bad. What do I even focus on? Should I just end it and return the guitar.

It's so disheartening

>>128415087
with a guitar, you can play anything you want

>>128415239
You’re learning the wrong things. You should learn chords, then scales, then start working on riffs, so that you actually understand where those riffs fit in, theoretically. Don’t give up anon, but be careful with your time and efficient. Are you self-teaching? When i did years ago I found justinguitar really helpful on youtube

>>128415213
His oxblood les paul is so much cooler than his strat though

Nice

>>128415239
You're playing single notes with jangly tone. It sounds completely fine. Turn on a metronome because that's pretty much Meg's drum pattern anyway. Try it playing it with octaves or power chords.

>>128415607
Good price, damn! That's a white whale

>>128415769
I was going to ask for 500 I'm surprised he took 525. It was already on sale for 600 i just took a chance. Very happy

>>128412919
Wym anon?

>>128415239
Theres nothing glaringly wrong with this anon
Other than that I can hear your finger sliding between notes a lot
A little scratch is totally normal, but I can hear the full slides at certain points
But again like, not a big deal dude you’ll refine shit over time
There is nothing offensively bad about this and its certainly nothing to get upset about

I am in love with my rig, my studio and my tone. We are gonna get engaged

Is there any benefit to having an amp+cab vs a combo amp? A lot of the artist i listen to have amp+cab is it just a better tone control thing?

>>128416124
head+cab is twice the price so they can just do more with it. dollar for dollar there’s no difference

I'll post a vocaroo one day

Do either of you have amp+cab? If you had a combo before did you notice anything drastic when you made the switch?

>>128416265
one needs a speaker cable

>>128416124
Yeah cabs sound better when you don't have an amplifier taking up internal volume with tubes rattling and shit.

I win

>>128416265
I moved on to digital modeling amps so I have a 35lb 2x10 when it needs to be used and a stomp box for plugging into pa when it doesn’t. bedroom tone and mix tone are two different things

Really want one of those new Cadillac Green Les Pauls but thinking maybe I should wait til they're on sale next year. Bought a Les Paul "custom color edition" a couple of years ago at full price and they were blowing them out for $700 off retail a year later. Really rustled my jimmies I tell you hwat.

https://voca.ro/139b9541CTHv
This was recorded with a mic. It's a closer approximation to how the two amps running together sound in the room

>>128416521
yeah those look great

would my metal riffs sound better if i had a pick made from titanium

>>128416521
looks like an after dinner mint

>128416595

>>128416622
try finger picking instead

>>128416521
Look at that upper fret access... that's pretty silly.

>>128416124
>Is there any benefit to having an amp+cab vs a combo amp?
depends, if you get a 1 x 12" cab you're retarded and should just get a 12" combo.

If you gonna blast 4 x 10/12" halfstacks with 100W heads because you're on stage in front of a crowd a combo is not gonna cut it.

https://vocaroo.com/1kwCkH9XDY4o
me playing when the sun hits on bass. using pro co rat into sansamp bass DI v1 into the deluxe bass muff. any opinion on my distortion use? i barely have the knob turned up i feel it'd be too distracting here but fine if i was playing along to nirvana. i know kris uses the rat a lot on nevermind.

How do I incorporate more rhythm oriented with subtle tasteful licks in a singer-songwriter fashion? Singing and playing acoustic is fine and is easier but I just love playing electric, but singing while just strumming electric doesn’t sound as good as strumming acoustic.

>>128416956
1x12 cab gonna sound better and fuller than a 1x12 combo with the same speaker because there is more volume in the 1x12 cab.

>>128416521
luv caddy green

>>128416956
I'm not performing anytime soon. I just wanted to copy the sound of a bass player i like. At home he has a sunn o coliseum but on tour he us quilter bass amp. I was thinking of looking into the quilter amp but I need a cabinet for it and you can't plug those into mixers and I'm in an apartment. I'll probably be able to get a similar sound with my mark bass combo i was just looking to gear and had some questions

>>128416265
I had a traynor half stack snd changed it for a 2x12 fender combo for gigging. I’m able to practice now without shaking my walls down and it’s just as loud for gigs. Stacks aren’t really necessary in 2025 they’re a holdover from the 60s.

How do I set up the intonation on my guitar?

How do I get this good?

I'm going to set up my reverb pedal to sound like shit live and people will love me for it

S-S-Sammy???!!!!

>>128415239
It's sounds fine, you just need to add some god damn gain to your signal. If your amp doesn't have a gain knob, behringer tube screamers are like 20 bucks. Practice playing along with the drum track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P06cp7ocoRQ

>>128417594
What kind of guitar

>>128418001
i remember by first practice amp.
it had a gain knob, but really it was just a knob that made my amp sound like a fart.

>>128418051
>made my amp sound like a fart.
this is why I'll never understand around amp-like overdrives since gain from an amp always sounds like literal shit

>>128418087
*hype

>>128418087
tube pedals really are the best solution

>>128417594
With a guitar tuner and a screw driver.
Open note should be in true and the note on the 12th fret should also be in tune.
If it's sharp pull the saddle back if flat push the saddle forward.

>>128418150
I did that but I don’t think this was supposed to happen?

>>128408258
That's the only color lefties get so I had to get that one

>>128418213
You can fix that with a hammer chisel and a new bridge

ah fuck bros
i bought the one guitar i fell in love with instantly as i was starting to play guitar
it even has the plastic still on the pickguard

ill be on beans and rice diet this month

I like a guitar I can throw around and not worry too much about, its a piece of wood you should be worried about whatever it hits not the guitar itself.

you here all by yourself, handsome?

finna show you how to crack that headstock big boy

>>128418087
some of the best natural gain you'll get from an amp is a blues jr with the volume at 12, and the master at 3

What's the best way to practice scales to get the most out of it? I'm relatively new to guitar

This is something you’ll develop with decades of playing and a well trained ear. If you plug my guitars in the string will be off by a few cents each but everything sounds in tune regardless of where the shapes are played on the neck. Results vary by guitar and setup but it’s generally the case.

>>128417594
>>128418150

Open note, 12th fret and harmonic on the 12th fret need to all be in tune. You really want a strobe tuner for this but it can be done with cheaper options, or you could get gud and train your ear.
