>>127556537>modes eh i'll pass
>>127556414based kingfish OP
>>127556517Congratulations, Anon. What is its name?Are you going to reverse the plate on the new one, too?
>>127556517Very nice, I am really digging the contrast. I should buy a tele again at some point
What special features do you have on your push/pull knobs, /gg/?
>>127556695I dont have push/pull knobs
>>127556695my gfs nipples are my push pull knobs
>>127556695I have used them for coil splits in the past but that is about it. I don't use them at all anymore.
>>127556617I don’t name them, rosewood Tele is “rosewood Tele” and this one will probably be “white Tele”. I guess I could name one “Frederick Douglass” and the other “Nathan Bedford Forrest”. Yeah I’m gonna flip the plate this weekend probably if I have time, the locations of the selector switch and volume knob are the only issues I have with Teles>>127556677Years ago I had an old MIJ Tele and sold it off because I liked my Strat better but I really appreciate the simplicity of the Tele nowadays, no bells no whistles just simple do all goodness >>127556695One of my Strats has one that adds the neck pickup into positions 1 and 2 so I can have neck and bridge or all three together
>>127556695my switch does coil splitting for me
>>127556774I used to use one to 70/30 tremolo picking sections with a humbucker guitar panned opposite of it. It really made those sections pop. Other than that it was just was my blues guitar. It was a frankenstein but sounded and played really well.
>>127556517>two teles>neither have bindingTwice a failure anon
>>127556517>bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
>>127556579pussy>inb4 "theory limits you" or some such cope real musicians have been laughing at for decades
>>127556884sorry but i just don't believe telling something that they need to learn theory and especially modes before they should even play the blues or any genre is the right way to teach music
>>127556901I tend to believe in starting with the pentatonic scale myself as opposed to the diatonics, its important for a student to experience music before being bogged down in details.But if you know that, you don't need that.
Hello, handsome.
>>127556925Love it, walnut or koa?
>>127556875I will not be shackled and bound by binding, I am a free man just like my white Telecaster named Nathan Bedford Forrest. >>127556880What? Sorry can’t hear you >>127556863The rosewood one along with one of my P90 guitars has really became my do all go to, five or six years ago it was basically just use a Strat for everything but now my Strats are just kind of existing on the wall unless I specifically want that Strat sound
>scraped the binding on my fretboard trying to spot level frets with a crowning file
>>127556962frtlzrhas a guard
new thread wooo
>>127556962honest play wear
>>127556994its too late the binding is already raped
>>127556925How did you know my name? Nice guitar btw
>>127556901>before playing the bluesso you're teaching them the blues scale, a modified major or minor scale.why do bluesfags keep pretending they never learned anything technical but somehow end up playing the same licks as everyone else that also "play by feel"at least metalfags are honest about it
>>127557016If it had fretboard binding it wasn't a cheap guitarsorry anon
>>127557026if its a gibson it was a cheap guitar, they just charged a lot for it
>>127557026actually it was an ibanez gio
>>127557041They put binding on a bolt on?WILD
>>127556962>didn't tape off the fretboard around the fretyou played yourself anon
>>127557045yeah its really common. you ok bro?
>>127557045it probably costs less when you factor in labor than to smooth out fret ends. just put a plastic binding around the fretboard and you're good to go.
>>127557067i guess>>127557058i dunno I always associate binding with higher-end neckthru's but maybe that's just a perception problem
>>127557079>binding>glued neckthey aren't fancy, it's just the boomer tax. if anything, the6y're removing tonewood from the neck to inlay the plastic binding
>>127557020i'm just saying i want the music to teach me theory, not theory teach me music. i'm not throwing shade at anyone, i already went through a year of intermediate theory courses on bass. wish i would have just learned songs instead and that's what i'm doing on guitar
>>127556931Mahogany
>>127557227Why do I think mahogany is redder
>>127557249everyone dyes it
>>127557206There's a flip side to that. Learning songs with no context is just going through motions. You're not playing a guitar, you're playing with a guitar. You're doing a trick.
>>127557206>I want the music to teach me theory, not theory teach me musicIt's the right approach to an original style but that path makes learning a lot harder than it already is. The risk of getting stuck sounding the same is very high and imo not worth it. If you have an excellent taste and autistic powers of focus and execution, go ahead, but having someone else teach me the shortcuts has been priceless in my experience.
>>127556414Repostan:Thinking about throwing in the towel to trade in my katana mini x for a spark 2 full.the presets seem neato, ai mode is w/e but helpful since I'm lazy but some people online bitch about it still being bassy or muddy unless you crank down amp gain and adjust the pedals, is it true?Also I haven't tried to trade something into guitar center in a decade do they still rape you in the ass on the trade in? I'm like 8 days out of the return period.
>>127557026my $200 yamaha acoustic had bindings and so did my bottom tier ltd
>>127557423>haven't tried to trade something into guitar center in a decade do they still rape you in the ass on the trade in?Last time I was their a guy had a very good condition 90's era sovtek mig 50 on the counter. He left it there for them to look over while he went to grab lunch. I inquired about it because it'd be cool to have, and the guy told me that their "vintage division" told him to offer $500 and they'd list it for $900. So yeah, shit is still fucked.
New guitars are better in a lot of ways than old guitars.
>>127556517Your rosewood telecaster is my favorite telecaster in /gg/ and you new one might be my second favorite.
>>127557045I won a shity chinese Les Paul clone on an ebay auction like a decade ago for $100 that had binding
ok ok i get it gibson sold me on the binding myth

>>127557837I just run PC fans in my heads depending on how they're biased
>>127556880fixed it. overpriced for what they are, but they do fix it.
>>127557909soulless
>>127557817Why do these chords all have different feels when they're the same chords just at slightly different pitches, and the vast majority of people don't have absolute pitch?
>>127557923Because "pitch" and "frequency" are just arbitrary semantic terms for the very real vibrational feeling of sound/music.
>>127557920It's just magnets and wire, the player gives it soul.
>>127557909dudes will do anything except run a noise suppressor in their fx loop kek
>>127557936retard alertfailed science class huh kid?
How many times do I have to keep redeveloping muscle memory before it sticks?
>>127557923frequency is very complex and humans like to pretend as though we fully understand it aside from "vibration make noise haha"
>>127557946>science
>>127557950>frequency is very complexwhat's not to understand? amp makes the air wiggle. frequency is just how fast it wiggles ezpz
>>127558031>he doesn’t celebrate Sciencemas
>>127557936Pitch is subjective, but frequency is an objective measurement that's very exact, there's nothing arbitrary or semantic about it
>>127558054They are semantic terms for measurable slices of reality. The repeatable measurement of something is not the entirety of its effect or substance.
push air (the air is pushed becase tone is heavier than air)
>>127557100any labor-added process for an american guitar is inherently fancy because you have to pay fat retards slightly higher than minimum wage to do itit's like that beer brewed by fat gay monks
>>127558123cat shit coffee
>>127558135they don't pay the civets tho
>>127558123or monk shit tea
>>127558135Is that cheap
>>127558123once again. not fancy, just costly
"binding' my ass, nothings bound it's just aesthetics !
>>127558162i honestly don't know, i've never been inclined to do any research on it
>>127558168costly is fancyyou wouldn't get it(you are poor)
>scalloped fretless
>>127556677Verrrrry nice. My DN612 is that same color. With the 12-string neck+body it's heavy as hell though.My '76 Explorer is black, though. Its weight is fine - it just *sounds* heavy as hell!
>>127557861House band at the Double Deuce. And if Dalton says you're good...you're good.
What's the easiest way to record quick demos? I have hundreds of riffs on my phone, what daw are you guys using? Also would like some basic drums and bass plugins.
>>127558306directly to vocaroo
>>127558211Never thought of that. Very interesting. Very clever if you made it up.
>>127558397Huh. Very cool.

and one more just to thoroughly MOGhttps://voca.ro/1cIx0tzRTfzt
I changed my strings and now they are buzzing unless I put the action high. Is this normal?
>>127558780did you go lighter gauge?
>>127558780Maybe the neck warped during the process
>>127558799Yes, from 10s to 9s on a Gibson-length (shorter) guitar. Is that why?
>>127558858loosen your truss rod a quarter turn (counter clockwise as you're looking at it)
>>127558858yeah, particularly if your neck was set incredibly flat already and the neck+rod isn't very stiff, going lighter won't put as much tension on the guitar and instead of pulling the headstock forward, a slight hump forms in the middle as the truss rod pushes against the neck. that's what the rod is for tho.
>>127558869And if I don't?
>>127558780The frets grew. RIP that guitar. Better start looking around for a new one.

What pedals to sound like Meteora LP?
>>127559111good choice anonwish i could help
why did they fuck up gears of wars color palettesorry i know its not ontopic but i promise i was uh, trying to learn the song or somethingseriously why do this
>>127559111just buy a distortion pedal or something
is there a difference between voice leading and chord-melody
>>127559111a synth pad because a lot of it is synthfor guitar pedals i dont recall how wet the tone is so i cant recommend modulation but the distortion can be acheived by a bad monkey
ive been playing around with modelers, specifically DSP. Tom Morello plugin is said to be the closest thing to a JCM800 model. I bought a Marshall triple super lead and it sounds so much better than the model.
I think that's a great approach as long as you're recording/transcribing the stuff you learn, chunking it, organizing it, and contextualizing it to the harmony.
TASTE THE TONE
>>127558777>https://voca.ro/13wqfmJ0nBpBYou're already playing with a drum machine, maybe it's the recording latency but it would be better if it was more in sync.>>127559001That's nice.>>127559600Only got into modellers and captures recently but I think they'll only close if played through a load box + PA/monitors; almost undiscernable after a well mastered record. Do you play your real amp through a real cabinet? You could A/B test it by sending the DAW signal to the effects loop.
>>127558252>DN612Is it maple body + maple neck as well? I bet it weighs a ton yeah lol. The DC in my pic weighs 8.8lbs, its heavier than my explorer by a full pound. Post it up you never see those anymore!
>>127560127a little latency and a little of the drinky poo Ran its nbd its fine thats rock and roll
brap
https://vocaroo.com/1fvhc8rV9si6havent used the jazzmaster in about a week on a whim today i just picked it up and stummed along to my drum machine. very sloppy at the beginning but i sort of nail it at the end which made me pretty happy.
>>127560575Good shit anon, glad to hear you picking up the 6 string again. I like the progression. That drop out + letting the drums play before coming back into it had a great vibe.
>>127556517>same guitar twiceI don't get it.>>127557423Do not get anything by Positive Grid. The last update for their flagship modeling software was almost 2 years ago. I assume that's the same software they put in their hardware amps.
I have found a single coil in humbucker format, a P90. I also bought soldering equipment and managed to somehow attach the new pickup.I enjoy the new single coil sound in the neck way better than the humbucker. The humbucker sounded dark and muddy, which doesn't really make sense to me. I thought humbuckers were brighter than single coils. I enjoy the clean tones and it sounds way brighter and jollier.>https://vocaroo.com/1hW6a6KedhUu>neck, bridge and bothI thought it would also help with driven and distorted tones, but it's still sounding like shit. I understand that only fifths and fourths will sound good with distortion, but this is ridiculous:>e minor triad with drivehttps://vocaroo.com/1aFy3GyY3xQ8>same with fuzzhttps://vocaroo.com/1cC71GxunD4B
>>127560687Nta but 2 is 1 especially if you are playing shows/touring. Even if you're not, having a backup is always a good idea. Plus just look at them, they were meant to be together.
>>127560800For touring maybe at home not really, you can just play whatever other guitar you have while it's under repair or whatever>Plus just look at them, they were meant to be together.wow it's like I'm on boomer facebook
>>127560796This is how it looks now.
>>127560796>I thought humbuckers were brighter than single coilsYou're modding and changing pick ups and you don't even know the first thing about them?
"I Hated Him My Whole Life"
>>127560868My old guitar was an HSS and the humbucker sounded way brighter, but now when I think about it, it's probably because it was in the bridge position. Even when I switched to the middle single coil, it sounded way more bass heavy, so that's where I got my impression.I watched some comparison videos of pickups in various positions, so of course I verified it before making the modification. It was just an impression that I had from my old guitar, before I watched all these comparison videos.
>>127559600modellers may sound like the recording of an amp they are modelling but they'll never feel the same or interact with guitars and pedals the same way due to gain staging of your set up.
>>127560687One is standard one is going to be EAEAC#E or DADF#AD, haven’t decided which
>>127560856>you can just play whatever other guitar you haveExactly, which is another tele since that's what he wants to play. Strats/JM/Jags etc don't play like teles. Owning multiples of a single model is extremely common.
>>127556414hey guys after a lifetime of slaving away to music (no degree, working shitty warehouse jobs, dead end relationships, etc), i lucked out and got a nearly 6 figure job in a semi-related fieldtime to buy some fkn GEAR and make some serious records manhttps://www.temporary-url.com/66C9 this is my music, and with that in mind…what guitar should i get as my one, lifetime keeper, do-it-all-for-the-genre-that-i-make guitar? i’ve been pretty frugal using squier SS teles (like in the song i linked) and no-name les pauls for a while, so price is NOT a consideration for this purchasemy current shortlist is…an actual vintage 59 les paul special DC - would be cool for weezery stuff but the bridge clean isn’t as nice as a tele or a jag. also i like SS frets and lollar 50s wind p90s but i wouldn’t mod them into a vintage les paulMJT tele build with a 4 way switch - would be cool for 95% of our music (indie rock and phoebe bridgers alt-country) but i’ve always found they lack balls when doing the weezer chugga chugga stuff, or neck pickup solos. but it would feel SO good to shred on an SS neck, even if the tone is assvintage ~66 jaguar with a hot rails in the bridge - these are pretty but not very useful tonally in my experienceMJT HSS strat build - would be ok for the weezery stuff but the bridge tone isn’t that nice for indie, and weezer used jaguars for cleans anyways so… idk, a good guitar, but not for our music. kinda does that modest mouse thing thorickenbacker 360 6 string in jetglo - KIND OF UNDERRATED, they’re all over later heatmiser / early elliott smith. but idk i’ve never played oneidk just happy to hear your thoughts and getting the ball rolling. ik the obvious answer is "get them all" but idk i like consolidating several guitars into one guitar and then really bonding with it
>>127561082original run jpm100 ezpz
>>127561082why are you asking a bunch of online retards with no jobs when you are literally a professional musician now? Also it's the strat obviously>ubiquity>able to change pickup / neck / whatever config with ease>comfortable>sound good >look good
>>127559600>betterWow, really objective comparison, wow.There is nothing wrong with preferring either, but there's a lot wrong with spouting bullshit like that. If you want it to sound exactly like your JCM800, then create a profile with Neural Amp Modeler. Amp modelling software won't give you the exact tone, but an approximation.The most important point is that you can get equally "good" tones out of amp modelling or capturing software. People complain about the difference, but it's mostly, as mentioned above, because you listen to one through a huge amp cabinet and to the other through your shitty monitors or headphones.
is first shift always this bitter?
>>127561149Yes, morning time at their McJobs while they look at guitars they can’t afford.
>>127561080>no you don't get it, I NEED to buy another tele in case I want to play it for a week in five years when I need to send my main one in for fret filingwe have Mr.Joe in here guys
>>127561337Tele anon already answered your question, he's using them for different tunings. This is a weird thing to be upset about.
>>127561082>my one, lifetime keeper, do-it-all-for-the-genre-that-i-make guitarNo such thing exists, if it did you'd already know which one instead of asking us
>>127561082I enjoyed gravedigger's ball cool shit anon. Pretty surprised there can be creative humans in this specific cesspit. I wouldn't buy vintage guitars for the all in one function and as a lifetime keeper - I'd keep it in mind as an emergency reserve of wealth. But you can't go wrong with that HH 4 knobs configuration as you can fiddle around the knobs and get a myriad of sounds.
nooo dont spend your money unless its how i want
>>127559477Thanks friend.>>127559579Are all distortion pedals the same? I bought an overdrive pedal a while back and it’s not that great.>>127559593>bad monkeyThanks anonWhat do synth pads do?
>>127561435
>>127560796>I thought humbuckers were brighter than single coils.Depends of the output and the type of magnet used. You can have sharp as fuck humbuckers but they're most generally pretty dark to give a well-rounded well-defined sound as opposed to single-coils which usually bleed in the highs especially if you give them the hardware to express this.Anyway welcome to the modding scene.
How to mix guitar? Is there any good lessons on Youtube?
Is it true that really hot single coils are better than humbuckers?
>>127561558better in what way
scoop god
>>127561497>distortion >overdriveNot the same thing at all
>>127561558Depends on taste. Personally I prefer single coils https://youtube.com/shorts/W2_i0egKGpA
>my humbuckers hum in humbucker mode but don't hum in single coil modewhy
>>127561082Sounds great anon. Not my thing at all yet I listened to it twice. You have a great ear.>what guitar should i get as my one, lifetime keeper, do-it-all-for-the-genre-that-i-make guitar?Doesn't exist and you will eventually end up with something different for one reason or another if only as a compliment to your main. For now though a HSS strat with a coil split for the bucker would be right up your alley.
>>127561736you need an electrician
>>127561841everything is grounded though, i checked with a multimeter
>went to old boomer for lesson>switched to bass because i wanted to learn bass lines>tell the guy I've been playing for a while so I just wanna get better at improv>spends majority of the time playing and talking>the only thing he decided to show me was the chromatic shit he showed me on guitarEvery lesson has been like this. I like the guy but holy shit, he just kinda shows off and doesnt stay on topic. Like it's great to have someone to chat to about music but in the 3 lessons we have had, I maybe played 15 minutes total with him. He rambles on about his collection but man I just wanna learn how to come up with bass lines or shapes I can practice. Am I being scammed?
>>127562032Probably not, some people simply lack the focus and just like to chatMight be better to look for another teacher if you think you're not getting your money's worth out of it
I got a strat today
>>127562032Some people just aren't good teachers despite having a wealth of knowledge. His approach might be, "if he sees me doing it, it will click" but isn't able to articulate WHAT he is doing. I'd look for someone that accommodates your style of learning.
>expensive boutique pots feel worse than cheap stock pots on my ibanez gio

>>127561570Idk I guess harder stuff like Nu Metal.>>127561621So is every distortion pretty much the same?>>127561698I’m thinking I do too. I’ve had humbuckers, and they are nice, but I kinda like the punch of singles better I think.
>>127562160sounds like you're just bad at soldering mate
>>127562199well yeah it was my first time soldering. you should see how bad it is, there are globs of solder just sticking out of wires and shit and theres black masses from god knows what stuck in the solder. luckily the pot is fine but I only found out later that you can break the pot if you arent too careful.
>>127562166WD40 is a water displacer not a lubricant. Just rotate them back and forth until they're no longer stiff. Larger diameter knobs would also help.>>127562160Use a wider tip on your iron. Needing to hold the iron in place for longer than a few seconds is asking for trouble. A wider tip will heat up a larger surface area more quickly without needing to hold it in place, which allows it to sink into the rest of the component.
>>127562194>So is every distortion pretty much the sameSome have different tone stacks, some use different clipping methods (diode, opamp, etc), but it sounds like you'd be happy with a RAT.

>>127562224damn thats good to know, i was using the pointy tip and that wasnt working at all so i had to start using the side of the tip
>>127562210>there are globs of solder just sticking out of wires and shit and theres black masses from god knows what stuck in the solderYou're heating the wire/pot and not the solder right? You can end up with cold joints if not. You want the solder to melt into the wire and cling to the component, not melt onto them. You can clean this up with a solder sucker and/or some copper wick though, its not the end of the world
Someone recommended the Frank Vignola TrueFire - Modern Method For Guitar course. I hate it.I've been playing for a lot of years, but nothing serious, just noodling. That's why I decided to try one of these proper, fully structured courses, starting from the beginning and to to strengthen my foundation and to improve.He told me how to construct a major scale, which is good I guess. The next step is: just play it horizontally across all strings for each of the 12 major scales. He said I'm supposed to be doing that for a few months.
>>127562049>>127562090I can tell he's very smart and he's very good at what he does but yeah it may just be his teaching style that I dont like. Its probably the best pricing for lessons. I get 45 mins to an hour for 35 bucks. Other places for an hour it's going to be 300 a month. I think I'll mention to him that I want to play more than talk next time. >>127562159>$120 on sale>$220 regularRent is due in like 4 days. I cant afford this but maybe later in the year.
>>127562242Oh nice, thats pretty cool
>>127562299yikes
>>127560681Thanks anon. I just took the shape of a chord from a duster song and moved it along the fret. I probably should be playing bar chords but they arent comfortable for me yet
>>127562263I'm the guy who installed his first pickup above and also soldered for the first time. I had a similar experience. I could barely get the ground wire off the volume pot. I tried to tin the tip as instructed in various videos, but it didn't seem to work as intended. I think my soldering iron didn't heat up properly and the solder blobs just wouldn't liquefy.Another mistake was not getting separate flux, nor that copper solder remover, or even one of those tip cleaning pads. I'm definitely getting some for the next time.
>>127562364The left most volume pot joint could be better but it will probably hold and work fine. Picrel is an el cheapo solder sucker with a teflon tip that will help quickly remove solder. I usually shill for "engineer brand" out of japan and as much as I love mine, ive had this cheap one for over a decade now without any issues. Proper solder joints will become automatic the more you do it, dont let it discourage you.

>>127562328I dislike the concept of learning all 12 scales at once. In this exercise I'm just mindlessly playing shapes to be honest. I am trying to visualize the intervals and that's a good exercise I guess. But I have no idea which notes are in the scale unless I spend some time thinking about it.Since I'm familiar with the fretboard, my approach to learning a scale is to just memorize the notes and then play it across the fretboard. Relying on shapes irks me a bit. Now I'm overwhelmed with trying to memorize 12 major scales at once, which is apparently what the course structure wants me to do. Or I could just mindlessly try to wing this exercise and play the shapes.
How do I remove fingers from string without it becoming a pull off open note
>>127562531well that's definitely the modern method
mute the string with your finger that your pulling off as you pull off, so instead of just letting go aggressively, you let go quickly until the string is off the fret, then you release your finger from the string. eventually you'll be able to do it in one natural go.
>>127562299Frank Vignola's a great player and I think his other course, "Inversion Excursion" is a useful collection of shapes. Maybe try the other Frank's method series (pic related).Other books I've found helpful/enlightening are Noel Johnston's "Voicing Modes" (for useful chord voicings and their related scales), Tim Miller's 2-1-2 arpeggio book, Corey Christiansen's "Jazz Scales for Guitar," Jimmy Bruno's "Six Fingerings" and "The Art of Picking," Paul Hanson's "Shred Guitar," "Advanced Modern Rock Improvisation" by John Finn, and my fundamental start personally was with "Guitar Grimoire: Scales & Modes."
I really want to try one of these.
>>127562869do it man. get a credit card and live your best life
>>127562976I'm already credit maxxing I meant actually sit down and play one in a store, I just can't find one locally to try out. I'm not big on buying stuff to try just to send it back.

I can't decide which cool vibe telecaster to get. I've been thinking about it for days. I think it's between the white 1950's and the sunburst 1960's. Kind of wish they had an all black model.

>>127564329Which one is maple board, get that one
>>127564350The 50'sI actually saw that some places do have the all black model actually still in stock, it's just Sweetwater doesn't have it. Their website seems to be having a stroke anyway.
>>127564350Maple Teles are way too bright and trebly, rosewood is the way to go.
>>127562299Mick Goodrick tells in his book to learn to improvise with one finger on one string.Just skip that crap

I can feel it. This time it's the one
>>127565295good luck
>>127564562To this day this is still the only exercise I've heard of out of that book. Multiple times when people recommended it to me they somehow only talked about that exercise.So I finally have to ask: what else is there in it?Or is it all esoteric creativty exercises like that?
Gotta have a Tremolo. And Chorus. And Phaser. And Delay. And two Overdrives for color, a clean boost, a Tuner and EQ, and why not get a Loope-ACK!
>>127565380It /is/ esoteric but it explains what modes are and the corresponding seventh chords in the most sane way I've yet seen.
why does this thread have such a distaste for pedals
>>127565410poor fag
>>127565524I like pedals I'm just too poor to have very many
>>127565524pedals are really overpriced for what they really are. You're better off buying ultra cheap chink ones
>>127564146Knew it was Double Live Gonzo the moment you said Ted Nugent.
>>127565537>>127565564go to a music store website, and set the price from lowest to highest on a specific type of pedal you are looking for
>>127564562>Mick Goodrick tells in his book to learn to improvise with one finger on one stringA pianistic approach - linear and only one place to find each note.
>>127565605i like taking scales from from just the root note and trying to make interesting music by noodling and adding another note when i feel like there's something i want to say but can't express it with the current set of notes i have. i can internalize the sound of the scale in a day or two
>>127565380That's where I, and I assume many others, got filtered. Just so fucking boring. I'll have to give it another go soon.

why does my cable have 2 different ends?

>>127565720Is that a contemporary cable? That looks like something prehistoric
>>127565720are you from a ex soviet bloc country, perchance?
>>127564960They're all the same. Most metal, rock, punk, hardcore, etc anare all heavily based off the minor pentatonic scales. So basically learn blues and you'll have a foundation for everything is if you want a real answer.
>>127565524I love pedals to the point that I make a lot of them myself (probably close to ~50 at this point). I just don't use them a ton at the moment because the music I'm writing for the bands I'm in don't require it. I do love throwing some delay or reverb on solos though.

How would you describe the role of an electric guitar and an acoustic guitar when being used in the same song? Or does it depend on genre?
>>127566886acoustic guitar is for chords and textureelectric is main melody and to contrast the acoustic chords
>>127566886Listen to Coldplay - Yellow.

hey guys, I know this is a guitar and bass thread, but I figure y'all would know a little something about gear.I saw an offer for an alesis keyboard, its about $75 dollars, and I am considering itI am assuming its gonna be some cheap crap, but it'd be my first keyboard and I think it'd be fun to play with a drum machine and guitaranyone have experience with keyboards either cheap or expensive? is it worth it?

>>127561135I'm running the tube amp through the same amp modelling plugin, only I just turn the virtual amp off because I need to simulate the cab. All I can say is there is a difference. The modelled amp sounds flat and the tube amp sounds like it has more range. Also the tube amp feels more electric, weird but it does. I'm considering buying an axe fx but now I'm not completely sure. A lot of people used to be set on that one tone and not play anything else but maybe an amp in the box would help me expand my playing
>>127567118acoustic strings last me a month, even though they're still clean. i play 3-4 hours per day
>>127557923You should also consider the scale of the instrument itself. Specifically acoustic instruments are built around certain resonant frequencies so pitches closer to those "natural" resonances can sound more "suited" to the instrument thus pleasing or intense or whatever.
Why change your strings every month if you're not playing a gig?
>>127567250hands don't feel dirty after playing (haven't changed mine in years)
>>127567087This sounds more emo than Blink-182
>>127567250because they're dead? they inner core is fatigued. they're only $10 a pack
>>127562160>groundyou're right and you don't need to ground the pot like that. guitar electronics are notoriously bad with ground loops everywhere. just star ground everything to your volume pot ground lug and be done with it.
>>127566982Can it be the opposite too?
>>127562299you'll never have a good foundation if you don't practice anon.
Hey GG, is this SG fake? Serial number and year checks out but whys there model on the headstock
>>1275660284/6 strings
No model on headstock

>>127567423gold headstock logo and oversized pickguard is typically a vintage reissue feature on an sg, so maybe a special model? any more info?
No more info, didn't know it was a special, he just said it's not a tribute. Made in 08. Website made in Nashville via serial number. Also he's selling it ((C H E A P))
>>127567406>>127567394>>127567423Legit SG faded
>>127567227ok but there's no way E major and F major have different feels when they're half step apart, vast majority of people won't even notice the change unless compared side by side
>>127568265Right, I'm just mentioning one aspect of tone in relation to the physical instrument when the body of the instrument itself has resonate properties. It is inherently linked to how the different tones are perceived. A bass line could have a different emotional feel than the same melody played on a violin just due to the tambre of the instrument. That being said the bigger difference is in the relative motion of intervals. That is regardless the chosen key except when it plays against the physical limitations of tone within the instrument itself. I think that's a sometimes overlooked aspect of composition since it's more of an orchestral concept, giving each instrument a "personality" within the piece. Think of Peter and the Wolf. Each instrument has a distinct feel when the chosen key, tambre, and tonal range of the instrument are considered.
