how does baby made
What is the most you’d pay for a 1980 Tokai Telecaster in 90-95% condition? Early 1980s Japanese Fender copies are supposed to be as good as vintage Fenders compared to the actual Fenders being made at the time. There’s one locally for $1200. That seems like a lot but at the same time I’d pay the same for a MIJ Fender from the late 1980s. This is a proper 100% Japanese Tele copy that was so good that Fender began producing guitars in Japan. Yeah resale value isn’t anything like an actual Fender but I don’t buy guitars to sell them later. I’ve wanted a Tele in this exact configuration and color for a while and here’s one right here only it’s a vintage Tokai and not a proper Fender. On Reverb they’re all $1000-$1500 but that’s Reverb aka Rapeverb
>>121781631>40 year old cheap knockoffI wouldn't buy on at all.
>>121781631Market is dependent on location, is your area a high cost of living area or low cost?If high cost $1200 seems fair, if low cost $700-800

>>121781684I’m about two hours north of Seattle (hate Seattle, hate the city). Japanese guitars aren’t uncommon here but they still seem to demand a premium.

>>121781785I'd start with $1000 and haggle from there.
>>121781841>people like different thingsThe sheer fucking audacity.
What's the best wood for an acoustic guitar?. Is it mahogany?. There's a Fender mahogany guitar for 200 bucks and I was thinking of getting it.
>>121781885plywood != mahogany
>>121781906Lol good thing I didn't get it then. What would you say it's the best?
>>121781921sitka spruce toprosewood (brazilian) back/sides
>>121781841Lacquer layered over 1000 times baka gaijin>>121781848But are they worth that much when proper MIJ/CIJ Fenders aren’t that much more?This is the exact Tele I’ve wanted for a long time only it isn’t an actual Fender and it has a six saddle bridge over a vintage three saddle (don’t really care too much about the bridge though). Finding Teles in this finish is very hard and here’s one right here, only it’s a Japanese Tokai from 1980 rather than a Japanese Fender from later than 1980. Looking online outside of Reverb on like the Gear Page early 1980s Tokai Fender copies in similar shape go for around the same price as this guitar so maybe this is just the norm now.
my callouses are so fucked up and it rubs against the strings and makes everything I play sound like absolute dog shite especially if I do a slide. it's pissing me OFF. are nylon strings less noisy?
>>121781963>Lacquerthis is a perfect opportunity for you to learn what english words mean after you do your google translates from whatever monkey language you speak in your home
>>121781963Its only going to get more expensive, you said it yourself you want it why do you want more convincing? You can always make more money
>>121782001Nylon strings sound better.
>>121781631Why not buy a fender telecaster at that price? The point of buying a knock off is that you're saving money in this instance you're not. Am I missing something here?
>>121782101good point
>>121782101if you buy the real one you don't get the pleasure of reciting some overlong cope diatribe about how you're actually not a retard
>>121782176>except everyone knows you are one because you bought a knockoff turd after you read some poorfag cope on a ngmi boomer forum
>>121782382well yes, of course

>>121782542I hate his channel so much
>>121782542it's a cool scar don't be a faggot
Why is the picture so fucking sharp
>>121781631Bro you might as well just buy a used american fender so that its the real deal and not some knock off. Guitar center usually stocks a shit ton of American production line fenders, so you can just go try them out in person to see if you like the playability of the specific model you're looking at on Reverb and then pull the plug on the Reverb sale if you like it. Later down the line you can upgrade the guitar with nicer pickups and hardware to make it more custom shop tier or vintage accurate (minus the nitro finish)

>>121782101>>121782617The only reason why I want this is because it’s as close to a rosewood Telecaster I can get without spending $4000 or more. The body and neck are factory finished to look just like a solid rosewood Telecaster. Yeah I know looks are gay but it looks identical to my dream Tele at a third of the cost (and I’m not paying $4000 for a fancy custom shop rosewood Tele simply because of artificial scarcity). I was going to just settle for an Olympic white Tele with a rosewood board but then I saw this. Yeah it’s a knockoff but it’s as close as I’ll ever get without buying a $4k limited edition artificially scarce custom shop or a five figure original. https://www.fender.com/pages/electric-guitars-telecaster-george-harrison-rosewood-telecaster (Don’t care about George Harrison but his Tele from 1969 is my favorite looking Tele)

>>121781955Thanks anon. I might get a walnut guitar.
>>121782841There's two really big reasons why getting that Tokai is a bad idea:1. Signature model guitars are fucking gay2. Its not actual rosewood despite being called the "rosewood tele"I know it can be hard to turn away from getting a guitar just for how it looks, but my god if you're going to be spending $1000+ on an instrument you're going to need to consider a million other factors than just its appearance such as neck profile, fretboard radius, etc.. If you absolutely have to have that specific finish, I would suggest financing a real rosewood tele for like 12 months so that you actually get an authentic version of the guitar you're interested in and not a pathetic knockoff with a fake ass finish that will not hold its value for shit. I looked up "rosewood telecaster" on reverb and this was in the top resultshttps://reverb.com/item/81545810-2023-fender-custom-shop-rosewood-telecaster?bk=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJqdGkiOiIzNTQ4NGE2MC1jZGE3LTRhOTAtOWEyNS1kYzFiYTIwMDEyMTgiLCJpYXQiOjE3MTUxNDA3MTMsInVzZXJfaWQiOiIiLCJzZXNzaW9uX2lkIjoiYzVkYWUzYjktZTIwNi00M2E5LTk5YWYtNzdmMTkzYTU5MGQ1IiwiY29va2llX2lkIjoiMGUyMjZhM2ItMGNiNS00ZmE3LWE4NjUtNTM5MTJiY2JhNzhhIiwicHJvZHVjdF9pZCI6IjgxNTQ1ODEwIiwic291cmNlIjoiTk9ORSJ9.gmE9Dh3L9YU4goKG5Z_YUdIs9lbJALuUFTHKC2y9h4sAnon, if you're getting a dream guitar, fucking pull the trigger on the real deal. 12 months of financing for that thing would probably cost you around $250-300 per month. That really isn't that bad in the big picture.
4 week update since buying this: this guitar is awesome and I can't put it down, but I am progressively getting angrier and angrier over the fact that it didn't come with a fucking hard case for $2000, it pisses me off.
>>121781774Still me with the best rig, tho.

>>121783103Thx. The pickups are amazing, prob my fav thing about it.
>>121781631MIJ Tokais have good reputation. I've tried MIJ Fenders and they are as well built as American teles. You'll probably have to spend 200 - 250 on new pickups for the Tokai though.
>>121783049>financing a real rosewood tele for like 12 monthsOP make sure you have an emergency account first
Ibanez or LTD for ~$500 shredplanks?
If you were buying a MIJ Fender would you rather have one from the 2010s or the mid 1980s? Is there any truth to people saying 1980s MIJ is the best? Does that mean 2010s MIJ is somehow inferior?
>>1217833372010s, duh
>>121783337Ngmi
>>121783282>little tiny dick>I been hadz
>>121783337I'm not sure what "better" even means in this case. I've only ever been concerned with how the fretboard feels and how the guitar is intonated. The sound of a guitar come from the pickups, which can be swapped pretty easily, so I don't understand all the mysticism surrounding country or year of origin.>>121783363tons of cork sniffers say 80s MIJ is better
>>121783395cork sniffers are invested in myth, not fact
>>121783337As recent as possible. Vintage is a meme.80s MIJs were the best, relative to what was coming out at the time. GenX boomers are nostalgia tripping. Don't fall for the meme.
ok imma be real now>w-which is a better investmentngmi>w-which is a better guitarngmi>which serial number should I be looking for if IngmiGilmour entered a guitar shop and bought a fender, modded the shit out of it, played some insane solos and then was, you know, forced to sell it by his grumpy wifeIf you're obsessing about whether your guitar is "better" in whatever marginal, subjective terms you mean by it, you are not going to make itYou're unconsciously trying to get your "investment" worth it, and have therefore deviated from the aim of making music: making musicGood news is, you can always wake upJust pick up a Gibson (have some standards) and make it worthwhileit will be sold by peanuts by your son second ex-wife anyway
i really want this amp
>>121783536k
Imagine owning a tube amp in the current year, its only a matter of time until the last two tube factories close down. we'll see boomers hoarding warehouses of the last tubes on earth
>>121783575>tube factories close downwhy would that happen?
frank zappa kind of sucked at guitar though
>>121782703>whammy tricks on a single cutterminally based, no wonder he blew up
Are Fender Custom Shop guitars a meme? Yes I know they’re built by Juan and Juanita. Just like every other Fender made in the US and Mexico. Why are they so expensive compared to just a regular old off the shelf American Fender?
>>121783337i don't know but i do know scott grove or groovydjs on youtube did a bunch of great series on jap strats and other instruments so search them up
>>121783652another ngmi loser right there ladies and gents
>>121783652i don't know. i got an american vintage ii telecaster and i can't imagine needing anything more.
https://youtu.be/OU5eHajMTqU?si=67hjmZxNTBt5AciN
>>121783663That’s where I’m at. Even just getting a Performer or maybe Pro II. There’s a used custom shop at my local shop for like $1200 off of when they’re new and it’s intriguing just because it isn’t a $4k+ custom shop but I can’t think in what way it’s better than just a regular production guitar.
>>121783592The two factories are owned by russia and china, its inevitable that something will go downI've already started hoarding a small stockpile of tubes that I tested myself. once this all goes down I'll be making a killing on reverb selling tubes
>>121783682hahaha actually sick
>>121783682Brian May still killin it
>>121783592The tubepocalypse is coming, and the naysayers will face judgement and be sentenced to tone limbo
What do you think about the tone?Can't get it quite righthttps://voca.ro/1dG9MfUVTcBt
>>121783056>grain status: unfilledthe fact you didnt return it shows you really are a cuck
>>121783652Yes and no. I've owned both american production line fenders and currently own a custom shop tele. Custom shops have upgraded hardware and pickups, but that alone doesn't really justify a $2000 higher price compared to an american fender. Theres slightly more involvement with the finishing and relic process of the guitars, which can translate to a guitar that is more playable. I will say that my custom shop feels NICE, but my american strat feels nice too, just not as nice, and it would sound just as good as the custom shop if I were to upgrade the pickups. So, is the custom shop worth $2000 more dollars? No, but similar to every other hobby the price of an item will exponentially increase relative to tiny increases in quality once you get to the upper echelon value.
>>121783282eithet, both made in the same Indo factory
>>121781820It's incredibly sungThe mode is unplayable without sounding like you're trying to reference it
>>121782624Lmao
>>121783652They're custom made based on your specifications. So you get to customize:>the fretboard length and width>type of wood>wiring mods>pick up mods (push-pull switch, s1 switch)>pot mods>pickup modsYou really only need this if you are a professional musician. CS guitars are also lighter than American made. Boomers love that. >>121783663I also have a vintage ii tele and I think even that is too much. I should have went with the elite line.
>>121783935>I also have a vintage ii tele and I think even that is too much. I should have went with the elite line.huh what
>>121783882I’ve been eyeballing a Tele to replace an old MIM Tele I sold off years ago and at a local shop they’ve got an old used American Standard (really at the top of my list 2bh because it’s the cheapest and I like how it plays), current production American Pro IIs and Vintage IIs, and then a custom shop Tele for $3000. It’s in near mint shape and belonged to the owner of the shop who’s only selling it because he want to fund more vintage guitars. I have no perceivable need for a custom shop but the thought of a custom shop for like a grand and a half off of what they are new makes me curious but I’m sure it’s just because it’s cheaper than normal and not because I actually need it. It plays really nice and honestly I love it but do I really love it more than the used American Standard that is nearly two grand less? Not really or at least not enough that I feel justifies the extra cash.
>>121784011oh I guess they're called the professional ii line now, not elite series.
>>121784032Just depends on what you value. I personally love how vintage accurate the nitro finish and hardware components are on the custom shops. Also every custom shop I've messed with ends up having amazing fretwork and being the most playable guitar I've used. One thing to consider is that it would certainly hold its value way better over time. If those things don't really interest you, you could get the american tele and then drop some good money on Ron Ellis pickups to get the absolute best tone you could possibly hope for. The guy makes vintage accurate reproductions of the 50-60s era pickups
>>121784011>>121784062Ok so they made an elite telecaster until 2019. They were really nice and came with an S1 button.https://reverb.com/p/fender-american-elite-telecaster?hfid=64486900&utm_campaign=US-Shop_unpaid&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google
>>121783817it's not just the tone, some of the chords you're hitting are going way out of tune and dissonant and not in a good way
>>121783872no one cares
>>121784117*which means you probably need more scale length or a different tuning

>>121784271well then maybe my retardation is hearing your perfect chords as shit...so maybe you need less scale length and less in tuneness
>>121784117>some of the chords you're hitting are going way out of tuneKek he’s just bending anon>>121784271The EQ is the problem. Widen the Qs on both bands and boost band 2 a little bit. Use a high shelf going down to around 7k. Cut 1-2 db. You don’t need guitar up there. Cut around 2k. That’s a really honky frequency. Maybe 3-5 db with the Q at 5.Also try using a low shelf instead of a hpf. Guitars don’t have a lot of subs so the hpf is probably overkill.
>>121784242how long did it take you to get over the unfilled grain? does it still haunt you?
Anyone played a peavey USA reactor tele?https://youtu.be/xjwkXYB4nHs
>>121783049I had my debit card in hand with that guitar but thought to myself “do I really need a $3200 Fender CS that the seller had for less than a year and only gave one pic for?” They’re so cool and I want one so bad but man spending $3k on a Fender when used American Pro 2s are like $1200 is hard to do.

Some of the best guitar solos of all time were recorded on these, and they're nothing special really. The '74 lpc is the fanciest guitar he owned, and even that was pretty common for that time period. LPCs didn't become out of reach for most guitar players until much later, when the boomer brigade began hoarding everything.

Man, I'm fucking retarded. Bad day at work, come home, and i think I'm john entwistle. I smashed the fucking thing.
>>121781525Hey I have a question. I picked up a bass guitar and an amplifier, and I practiced every now and then. But I just don't feel like playing the thing anymore. I haven't touched the thing for longer than 3 months. The sound of the bass guitar is the only thing that makes my hairs rise in a good way, and i'm not sure why I dropped it. Before I purchased the items I felt a surge of inspiration and wanted to pick it up asap, but now it's rotting on my wall. It's just a beginner bassguitar and now i don't really know how to pick it back up again. I feel like my gaming addiction tickles my neurons a bit more than playing the bass guitar and i'm not so ready to drop video games for the bass guitar
>>121785578i saw that on reddit too lol
>>121785578Entwistle played drums. Keith Moon was the guitar player of the led Zeppelin
>>121785581From the autistic post above yours, listen to songs you like and by ear, play the bass parts to them. Make up your own bass parts.

I need music theory help
>>121782052They sound flatter and have less highs. I like them and I like the spacing on classicals because it makes chords so much easier. They are just way easier to play than a dread or parlour. You won't come up with as many open string extensions or suspensions on them though. But writing an all barred song in a key that is a lot easier.

are scales important if you mainly just want to play chords?

>>121788605Produce example of a quality guitar models
>>121788825holy ESL moment lmao
>>121788739Kind of? If you just want to play basic open chords you don’t need to learn the whole fret board. But you will learn position 1 just by learning basic chords.>>121788807Exactly
>>121788825
>>121784032Get the American standard and replace that gay ass bridge with a legit telecaster ash tray bridge with brass saddles, as well as put in some better pickups. The custom shop twisted tele pickups are great, but if you want to drop some more cash like >>121784090 said, get some Ron Ellis pickups. However, if you’re playing through a shitty solid state amp then these things won’t really make a big difference
>>121782542Bullshit. He was talking shit and someone broke a bottle on his forehead

How do I improve further please helphttps://voca.ro/18fkujnnBvNX
>>121789438Yeah but you spent $1000 extra dollars on like $250 worth of mods and are trying to justify with weird aesthetic complaints
>>121789546Learn major and minor triads across the neck. It will really open up your playing. Right now you’re stuck in pentatonic boxes and it gets old quickly.
>>121789696don't care
>>121789744Care to elaborate a bit more? How would triads help?
>texting my dad about guitars>he just bought an old Les Paul Special>mention wanting a rosewood Tele>he says get it>tell him I don’t want to spend the money >says spend it, he’ll go halfsies on it if I want oneUh oh must not consooooom even though it’s a guitar I’ve wanted for like 15 years
>>121789819What a trash post kys
>>121789845I cannot kms until after I have acquired a rosewood Tele
>>121789819Based dad
>>121789801You’d be learning the chord tones across the neck and therefore the fretboard. So now instead of just playing the pentatonic scale you can outline the underlying chords. So if the progression is G-Em-C-D, you can say “oh I want to play a repeating lick that hits notes 1,3,4, and 8 (octave) of each chord.” If you know the triads you can do this because you already know where each of these notes are on the neck. It would be unergonomic to do this in a pentatonic box.Sorry for the link but mobiles not letting me post images.https://www.jazz-guitar-licks.com/blog/infographics/major-triads-guitar-cheat-sheet.html
>>121789546You could try to better outline the chord changes. Also I think it would help to work on your rhythm vocabulary, try practicing triplets, quintuplets etc
>>121789992I was a stupid teenager and we didn’t get along at all growing up but once I grew up and once he got more laid back we’re like best friends now. I wish we had a good relationship when I was growing up but I was too retarded (still retarded but not stupid teenager retarded (but still pretty retarded (especially for wanting a rosewood Tele)))
>>121789819This is what I said earlier. Just get the legit custom shop rosewood tele. $3100 on Reverb really isn’t that bad considering you’re getting a really nice finish, amazing fretwork, 9.5” fretboard radius, all the original vintage spec hardware, and top of the line pickups. If you buy a knock off you will always be yearning for the real thing. People in the old days would literally finance a real Gibson. Guitars have always been expensive
So, anyone got good resources on learning Spanish/brazilian guitar?I find the sound weirdly erotic.
>>121790293That’s the one. I came close last night but decided to sleep on it. It’s a little weird that he only has one pic for the whole listing, you’d think he’d take some decent pics to show condition instead of just saying “trust me bro”. It’s just a lot of guitar for just playing in my house alone when all my other guitars are just fine at doing that but at the same time it’s one I’ve wanted since I was a teenager. Plus it’s a total meme that does nothing special than any other nice American or Japanese Tele than look different and be heavier. I appreciate my dad’s offer but I hate accepting charity from my parents so I never do it, I am (mostly) a grown ass 30 year old property owning man who is just hebrew levels of frugal>>121790379TONS of Brazilian guitar players here in /gg/
I just remembered ups takes about the same as usps. Should have saved the extra bucks
>>121790415You can always rationalize your way out of buying a nice guitar, but what matters is how that guitar makes you feel. I’ve owned American production line fenders and currently own a custom shop tele and custom shop es335. The custom shops feel amazing and inspire me to play on the daily. For you, you may not need that higher tier of guitar to be inspired daily, but at least for me it helps and I know that I have two lifelong guitars I will never replace. Seems like a lot of money now, but it really isn’t in the big picture
>>121790379I find it weird you find them erotic Honestly I'd just look up bossa nova guitar on Amazon and get the best seller
>>121790415>It’s just a lot of guitar for just playing in my house alonewhy does that matter at all? would you turn down sex with a woman if she was too hot for you?
>>121790457>lifelongThat’s the thing too, I’ve sold cheap guitars over the years but I’ve also held onto guitars with zero intent to sell them. This will definitely a lifelong guitar, something 20 years from now I can still look at and pick up and play and genuinely appreciate the years I’ve had it.
>>121790473heh just ask mountain man what happens when he tries to fuck a girl that is too hot. hint: guitar isn't the only thing he fails at.
>>121790498Pretty much. I always wanted a 335 since I was in high school until a couple years ago I decided to pull the trigger on financing a custom shop. I paid it off a year later and now I own a guitar that I fall in love with more and more each day. Those nitro finishes age beautifully too. It’s kind of similar to buying a nice pair of selvedge denim. Expensive at first, but you end up loving your jeans more each day because of how well they age
>>121790457This is why Americans live hand to mouth ffs
Should I learn piano? Will it benefit my guitar playing?

Does anyone want to form a drone/ doom band with me ?
>>121790473I have. I prefer ugly girls with banging bodies. Less guilt and less performance anxiety

>>121790592>needing to spend 4k just to get myself to pickup the guitar
>>121790663i love ugly girls with hot bodies. would you happen to be a telecaster player? you see, i have a theory that us tele guys enjoy both teles and butterface girls because they share the same attributes.you see, the telecaster is perhaps somewhat ugly and utilitarian, but it just sounds incredible and is loads of fun.an ugly face hot body girl is utilitarian because what really matters is the body and ther personality. the face is just there so she can communicate and function as a human. the sex with a butterface girl is like nothing else on earth. butterface girls are so much more fun. laidback, chill, down to fuck like whores always. they will do everything i want and they are also loyal.the ugly face actually makes her hotter you know. butterface girls and butterscotch teles. that's what i'm into.
>>121790699>thinking that your instrument should be as cheap as possibleIf you are serious about guitar, why not just get the master’s toolkit? It’s only going to inspire you to get even better than you already are
>>121790748It’s not a “masters toolkit” dumbass. It’s an American professional with $2300 worth of aesthetics.
What is that absolute peak cuck guitar, and why is it the BBKing Lucille?
>>121786744Japcrap.
>>121790473>would you turn down sex with a woman if she was too hot for you?Yes. There is obviously a surreptitious motive, which is definitely not to please me.

What 'bench top' tuner should I buy for setting up intonation and stuff?
>>121790948tuner tech has pretty much been maxed out for years now. you can easily set your intonation with any decent clip on tuner or a pedal tuner.
>>121791008Thanks Anon.
The Korg Pitchcrow clip-on tuner is $30 and is as accurate as the Peterson Strobostomp. The DAddario Chromatic pedal tuner is twice as accurate as the Peterson and a $20 or so cheaper.

>>121792426In theοry I am scared of the single bridge , because I enjoy massive gain stages and play around with combinations.I need more research and try them at a store now that I decided on a brand.Maybe even try other Strats too. Some douchey PRS or other.>>121792551Are you implying I should do a Squier instead of a Fender?
My only electric is a Fender American Standard Stratocaster in HSS. It's nice, I can get some bluesy tones in the single coil neck and some pop punk tones with the humbucker bridge.I've been eyeing a telecaster, would that be the move for more tones? I'm hoping I could get some more twangy, country, and emo tones with it. I feel like my stratocaster sucks for cleans.Specifically eyeing this guitar.
>>121793503frankly you sound like a tool and i doubt you could handle a telecaster.
>>121792403SSH is the way to go
>>121793233Acoustics without cutaways is the traditional, centuries old shape.
>>121792551The RV6 will work fine for that. It's a solid reverb.>>121793233there is no reason for 99% of players to go that high on the neck. >>121793503the tele would work for those genres. I almost always pick my tele over my strat. The humbers are nice though
>>121793673>>121793698better to have and not need than to need and not have>but muh tone it literally makes no difference
>>121793503You can get a cheap squier for around $300 and then upgrade the pickups to something pretty nice and still be under 600.
>>121793503>>121793698Maybe a dumb question, but the only tone variation I'd get is with the single coil bridge on the telecaster, right? Would the single coil neck on a tele and a strat sound basically the same?I don't really get if anything else about the two types of guitars change the tone.I still don't really comprehend how guitar tones work. Like you can run it through heavy amp effects and layers and layers of effects and EQ, yet the guitar itself is gonna drastically change the tone?I'm surprised there isn't just guitar modeling software. Where I can make my guitar sound like another guitar.

Would the single coil neck on a tele and a strat sound basically the same?The bridge pickup on the tele is placed at a different angle than the bridge pickup on the strat so that will change the tone. It's also on a metal plate which makes it brighter. The neck pickup on the tele has a metal cover that changes the tone. I believe it's also a little smaller than the strat neck pickup. So you're right in assuming that identical pickups would sound the same, but the differences in position and the metal parts change the sound. IMO the best rock sound is the tele in the middle position (both pickups on). The strat cant do that without modding because of the middle pickup.>Like you can run it through heavy amp effects and layers and layers of effects and EQ, yet the guitar itself is gonna drastically change the tone?The pickup is actually a mic. It adds EQ, distortion, and compression. Once those effects are applied, they can't be taken off (EQ can to some extent, but you are never going to un-eq brightness from a tele's bridge pickup). In theory, a pickup with a perfectly flat EQ and unlimited headroom could be made to sound like any guitar with the appropriate effects, but that's just not practical.>I'm surprised there isn't just guitar modeling software. Where I can make my guitar sound like another guitar.There is guitar match, but it's not that great because of the aforementioned reasons. You can try it for free though.https://www.positivegrid.com/blogs/positive-grid/bias-fx-2-guitar-match

People talk about how "playable" a guitar is and how it helps beginners stick with the instrument. Truth is, just don't be a pussy. If a little extra challenge causes you to quit guitar, then it wasn't meant to be.
