>127567423 #gold headstock logo and oversized pickguard is typically a vintage reissue feature on an sg, so maybe a special model? any more info?
>>127567474Really enjoy this guy’s channel

>>127567408Candy apple red strat, what color pick guard
what do we think of sharktooth inlays?
>>127567523better than the birds, but dots and blocks are still the best
>>127567517Pearloid
>>127567517Gold if you like carmel apples.
For me it's cheap chinese garbage.
>>127567572woah, a Bangs guitar
>>127567517>Candy apple redYou do you, Anon. That's my least favourite colour.
>>127567572Correct take.
>>127567491Its currently my favorite youtube channelhe's such a crass prick but then its all for charity and that makes my heart happy
love me offset dot inlays
>>127567651only real ni/gg/as know
>>127567643yessir
>>127567523seems a little big to work desu
>>127567683why do you have a sharktooth laying around
>>127567695why don't you?
I forgot how light Teles are supposed to be after having only played my rosewood one for the last year. I like this guitar a lot, it sounds great and really feels great with just enough (fake) wear to the back of the neck that it feels nicely broken in without looking like it’s just been hit with some sandpaper>>127567640I really liked his black and copper Revstar inspired build, that was a really slick looking guitar
>>127567698Did you fished it yerself?
>>127567695What have you never looked down?I can go outside right now and find a bunch of shark's teeth in a 6 foot radius. They're everywhere.
>>127567718sureI caught a megalodon
>>127567727do you live in the ocean?
your fretboard is thirstyhydrate it
>>127567795Too much oiling causes the glue between the fretboard and neck to lose tack.
>>127567813oh so that's what I was pulling out from the bottom of the fret
>>127567795You oil your fretboard only if the guitar you just bought has a bone dry fretboard, in which case you, if you're more of a collector than a player, can apply some oil. Otherwise the oil from your hands is more than enough.
>>127567829>the oil from your hands is more than enoughew
>>127567834because you play your guitar with gloves. oh wait, you do play your guitar... ?
>>127567829body oil has salts and is highly acidic
No inlays are the best
Is there a single good video for arpegio patterns/positions/fingering specifically hand positioning?
>>127567877https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZiwM7xftsI
>>127567856Guess you're condemned to play only with a pick and a slide then. Your fingers are only good for stuffing them up your butt, 3 at a time. Lemon oil is nothing more than lemon scented mineral oil. Mineral oil which clogs the pores of your fretboard, inhibiting the process of natural moisture release and absorbtion in wood. But it's not really my problem how you treat your shitplanks or what snake oil a marketing department has managed to convince you to buy.
>>127567408Right dude looks so resposible. He could carry the whole gig on his back.
>>127567901I squeeze some oil out of my own snake if you catch my drift
>>127567901i guess finished boards don't need to worry about natural moisture
>>127567901all you have to do is clean your fretboard when you restring
>>127567813Just oil it when you change strings which normally is one every 18 or 24 months
>rosewood dries out, gets gunky, and is becoming rarer>maple lacquer gets sticky, and if it chips the chipping gets worse over timeman.
>>127567965Aluminum
>>127567960>one every 18 or 24 monthsAh, I see you're a fellow Ernie Ball Slinky series enjoyer.
>>127567960dead strings sound fucking awful on an acoustic
If I'm using Justin Guitars program as a metric, at what point would you say I'd be okay to start making my own music on the guitar?
>>127568073you should already be adding embellishments during your playing if you feel it. even if it means stopping and taking 15 minutes to figure out how to play it and another 30 minutes practicing executing it. as far as writing complete songs and stopping practicing, idk
>>127568090Embellishments as in taking a finger off a chord and adding it back on as an example? Yeah, I've been doing that.>complete songsThis is what I mean>stopping practicingWell, I don't think I'll ever stop practicing, there's always something to work on
>restring guitar>break high E string while stretching it
>>127568136rite of passagedid it bite you?
>>127568143no it just snapped
>>127568135yeah but more so than that like adding subdivisions to your rhythm playing and blending lead lines into your rhythm playing and vice versa. you can write songs anytime you want man, it's also practice
>>127568148No I mean, did it nick you when it snapped?Its easy to get whipped by the broken end and get a little cutIt causes guitarist PTSD for the rest of your life when you're tightening that string
>>127568160no, i've actually never had a string scratch me before and i've broken a shit ton of strings
>>127568160this shit happened all the time when i was a repair tech. they'll also snap on the detune when they're old as shit. it only really bothers me on acoustics because the guitar screams sometimes when you're tuning up 13s
>>127567898I don't want a wank video, just some exercises to muscle memory drill while I listen to podcast slop
>>127568150>subdivisions to your rhythm playingLike if I'm practicing strumming quarter notes adding in some eighth notes?
>all the high end guitars have a floating bridgeplease make it fucking stop. stop with this fucking wammy bar shit I fucking hate it. just give me a high quality guitar that has a hard tail that isn't a gibson or fender.
>>127568240i mean if it appeals to you as a singer/songwriter, yeah. if you don't like it i wouldn't bother with it. but for example if you're doing a single bass note on the 1 and 3 and strumming 2 and 4, say do eighth notes on the 1 and, maybe add cross picking to beats 3 and 4 or something. just extra stuff to build technique in your free time
>>127567523Only ever used on lame ass guitars for clueless metal kids
>when someone lists a car fender under musical instruments
>>127568261Do you only ever buy ibanez or sometthing
>>127568302yes
>>127568160that shit never happens because air pressure is a thing lol, and the way the string is pulled means it just gets jerked to either sided instead of away from the guitar and into your hand
>>127567965maple with poly finish is the best shit, it's like a phone screen, needs zero maintenance just a little dry wipe once in a while is more than enough unless you smear dorito all over it
>>127568370poly finish is best. lacquer and nitro are literally inferior obsolete products that nostalgia fags cling onto.
some digging shows they only made these things from 1983-95i need to get some more (another) cable to see if it works
>>127568207wincing at every tweak of the tuning machines
>>127568435*1983-85. only 2 years
Do you think you could pay your rent with your guitar playing skills? Could it save your ass if you got laid-off/fired/off-shored?
>>127567727Do you live in a cave in a Limestone cliff? That's where people find them here
>>127568454If I could do that why on earth would I go to my shitty job every day?
>leave the guitar wank competition for comfy plinkplonkingEven the reddit hipsters and w*men can't ruin this feel
>>127568454no busking isn't consistent enough.
how come when i play for girls they swoon but i play for you guys and you just tell me i suckexplain
>>127568602do you have a square jaw?
>>127568620I look like Billy Joe Armstrong except i'm 6'1
>>127568427This, I love it when I buy something nice and it stays nice
How come squier fretboards are super yellow compared to other maple boards even fender? They color that shit?
>>127567408Cop or not?My friend has a katana mk2 and was showing me stuff studio rats dialed in for pushed sounds and marshall sounds but asking the app to plop out an amp model + pedals/settings seems too easy.
>>127568855depends on the model, if it's a vintage spec they add amber tint to the finish
>>127568855different variety of maple sourced from somewhere cheaper maybe
would you buy a pink guitar?
>>127568855most of them look pretty pale to me, I don’t like it
>>127568932yeah
>>127568932If I like how it played and sounded sure
>>127568877probably not since the cheap models like affinity and sonic have white maple just like anythig else
>>127568871What are you asking exactly?
brand new "relic'd" guitars are so weird
>>127569015too thin, gay selector and jacket placement
>>127568136>did a set up on my benton>actually managed to level the trem, get it all in tune >the new high e i put snapped whe tuningFucking hell that had me pissed. Also while I did get the trem in a proper position, every time I use it, the strings go out of tune. I wish I went for one without a trem instead..
>>127569100never get a cheapo with a trem is the common wisdom
>>127569113That's why I skipped getting a Gio and paid a little more for an RG standard, still a cheapo but not chinese cheapo
>>127568988I agree to a degree. Brand new heavy relic I don’t like, but I can deal with one that just has some bumps and bruises. I’d never seek one out or pay extra for a reliced guitar but if something I wanted popped up and was reliced and I liked it I wouldn’t let the relic job deter me from buying it.
>>127568295
>>127568136I've been playing for 36 years and I still turn my eyes away when I'm tuning up new strings.
>>127569100They make perfectly usable cheap trems nowadays, you just probably got one with a bad nut and the trem is fine.
this is so fucking retarded.
>>127569186QRD? Is it a digital overdrive?
>>127569200microtransaction pedal. you have to buy additional effects to download and put on the pedal.
>>127569250
>>127567651Fripp won, huh?
>>127569113I'm not getting anything with a trem again. It's just too much of a pain in the ass. >>127569177Maybe, I dunno. It's one of those fancier bentons with stainless frets and Wilkinson trems. The thing actually arrived with one trem post screwed in lower than the other lol. I really regret getting the trem version because the rest of it is great. The neck feels so good, roasted maple smooth satin. Frets were completely unpolished though.
>>127569273You can always lock it if you don't want to deal with all the minute adjustment
>>127569186As far as digital goes, it probably sounds good since it's one effect at a time. Less effects at once = all cpu time dedicated to one. It's a good way to randomly insert effects on the fly that you may not have wanted to spend on for a full pedal. Like a phaser or tremolo. Then if you want, you always have an SD1 or DS1 on tap.
For $264, that isn't bad. The only other hq one-effect-at-a-time thing I know of is the Eventide H9, but it's $600.
>>127569186for the same price you can buy a katana. lol
>>127569288I wanted to deck it but the trem posts won't go down low enough for the bridge to rest on the body so I had it angled back this whole time. I will most likely drop a piece of wood in there to keep it in place just to make it easier on myself. I do have this fantasy where I hack it up, fill the trem holes and turn it into a V but who knows if that'll happen.
>>127569336It's a good addition to a katana. The effects in that pedal would be better than the katana.The problem with digital and multi-effects is throttling and not enough dsp for good quality for multiple effects at once. They'll sound a little tinny once you start stacking things. Or they're shit from the start. It's the reason why all of those zoom pedals we grew up sound like shit. It's no different than you trying to run a new game on a piece of shit laptop and it reduces it to the worst textures.
>>127569186>can only run one effect >can hold 16>only comes with 8 and you need to download an app to get moreFucking why? Boss already has multifx that are better than this thing on arrival. And it has microtransactions too?
>>127569430OK, that sucks. Didn't know that bit.Although I doubt most of their multi-effects units have better effects except the GT-1000. You're not going to get the best effects in cheap multi-fx units, unless you reduce them to a small number of options at a time. Same reason why Eventide's stuff is so expensive. Or Line 6 will sell those stompbox units by themselves.
>>127569430>japs first to hop on the dlc train for guitar shit you hate to see it
oops i think i sanded down my pinky callus too far
>>127569518No pain no gain
>>127569414>The problem with digital and multi-effects is throttling and not enough dsp for good quality for multiple effects at once. They'll sound a little tinny once you start stacking things.This hasn't been a problem for a while, even the new Zoom pedals have a strong enough DSP to run 3-4 without issues on top of a built in tuner.
You do not need any more than pic related, 1 cable, 1 pick, and 1 guitar.
I also play bass tho
>>127569532I haven't used new Zooms but I don't see how. Since they seemed to have jumped on the amp/cab modeling thing too...maintaining a good amp quality will suck up 80% of even an Axe modeler.
>>127569273>>127569352Oh nvm you got a total shitter, don’t let it ruin your view on trems though. A hardtail could've came fucked up too.
On a whim, I replaced the Super-Sonic 22 I bought with another one. And now it's one of the best amps I've played. The reverb must've been a little bunk in the other one. This one is great, just short of DRRI greatness.
>>127569552i tried to buy your pic but ended up with this?
>>127569552I used to hate these so much.Still do.
>>127569552This nigga eatin beans
>>127569641Looks like the Flying Guillotine.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmdP1qTjGZY
>>127569582Not the amp modeling, just CDR stuff. You can run Gate/EQ/Tremolo/Reverb without any issues for example.
>>127569552Outta my way, non-instrument-shaped shitter
>>127569671That's cool then. I'm no longer interested in this BOSS thing anyways, because of the DLC. If you could've gotten faithful clones of most of their pedals for free, it would have been sweet.
>>127569666Based Meng-Hua Ho enjoyer.Also checked.
>>127569713Right back at ya. Based Xena enjoyer. I need a BPD Callisto gf.
>>127569713>>127569731notice how they're still hot despite being strong, intelligent, and well-developed characters and in good shape.
>>127569738Yeah, that whole "strong woman" thing in recent times never made any sense. We had Aliens like 40 years ago. And many other hot action chicks for years. And I think all the vidya fantasy chicks in bikini armor were compliments. I love women. lol
>>127569637I just came across one of those the other day, I think I'm in love. Gotta see if I can get one used.
>>127569777me too brother, me too>aliens
>>127569788Would definitely recommend. Another cool combo similar to it is the Rectoverb 25, if you can find that for cheaper.
>>127569738>>127569777Fully agree.It's the same with anything dei really.We used to have black characters like Dudley or Barrett in games. And those were cool.Nowadays being black has to be their whole personality.Female characters used to be hot and do their thing. Now they are women and not much else and their whole deal has to be "le women struggles" as sanctioned by feminists.
>>127569824i think another big thing especially in all modern writing is that you're already supposed to have the feelings the writers want you to regarding the character without ever having written or done anything to make you have those feelings. respect is earned, not given
>>127569850I don't even remember the last movie I enjoyed. Some TV, I guess.
>>127569850It's what happens when media forcefully gets categorized on whether it "supports my political view" or not.So now encountering something different is no longer "I don't like it", it's "this problematic and should not exist and you are bad for doing or liking it".The latter makes it so much easier to have others listen to your random opinion because now you present yourself as a victim instead of what you are actually doing: shouting another useless opinion into the void.This leads to writers also pivoting and just have their characters support or oppose real world Tagespolitik instead of overarching political/philosophical concepts. Because if you don't like that it now makes you a bad person who clearly hates what the media supposedly represents instead.

>>127570034fucking kek
>>127570335yeah i think they just screw out. wipe the oils off of them after you put them in, same with car headlights. it can create hot spots on the glass and cause it to break

>>127570100he'll yeah, no pickups is elite.
https://vocaroo.com/12WS1FocSb6l
>>127570365Awesome, that makes things seem a lot easier.
https://voca.ro/1iO9wvzB2ddX
>>127569186late but the full list of effects is:>OD-1, SP-1, PH-1, SG-1, CS-1, TW-1, SD-1, DS-1, CE-2, BF-2, PN-2, OC-2, PS-2, VB-2, DD-2, and DF-2outside the SD-1 and DS-1 (which are literal dirt cheap used and cloned) these arent even the top tier boss pedals
how we feeling about Electras
>>127567681Bashkin.
sick. had another night terror after 2 hours of sleep and am no longer tired.
>>127569585Oh for sure. But the hassle of a trem's upkeep is too much for something I never use.
https://voca.ro/13TYueHWzLK1
https://voca.ro/15CsDYeTq4iU
>>127569273Wear and tear fucking up tuning does happen with floating bridges, even the expensive ones. My Charvel used to be ace in its first 4 years but the bone nut wore out twice and the posts are now leaning. Usual problem is the nut if it's not the locking type - it might not have been cut correctly or just needs some lubrication. I lubricate the knife edge and posts on the bridge too. You could polish the frets yourself as well, it will feel better. Lotsa guides on youtube
>>127570462Is that a talkbox? If not what's the signal chain? Sounds cool.
>>127562684All of those seem to be about very specific concepts. I was more looking for a "full course". I'm going to try AI LLMs, perhaps they can string together a bunch of things I can practice in the right order.
>>127568871As a fellow Positive Grid product user, I say never get anything from them.If you're playing for yourself, get an audio interface and amp modelling/profiling software.If you're playing with other people, look into other amps, literally any.
>>127569186>>127569430I can see them only producing a "blank" pedal from now on. You pay a subscription fee, you will have 10 of those blank pedals and you load each one with an effect of your choice that's included in your subscription.
>>127571687What's stopping people from idk, just buying analog pedals again if it's going to be that expensive
>>127571729Nothing. No one is really forcing you to buy these things.What irks me about this is the waste. You have the technology to incorporate all of those effects into 1 physical unit, saving resources and making it more convenient. Yet despite that, they are taking the opposite route, only because it's new. It's a perverted obsession with iterating through every possible combination of products to try and generate profit. You don't have to be a hardcore environmentalist or anti-capitalist to be disgusted by this behaviour. Any sane person should feel disgusted and gypped when they get offered something like this.
>>127567877Get Chris Brooks' book "Sweep Picking Speed Strategies for Guitar," imo. Also some useful videos: https://youtu.be/fUllDJLnjkMhttps://youtu.be/YXM7fhI12sghttps://youtu.be/JMTdLXn-Efchttps://youtu.be/Jv033AjO4WYhttps://youtu.be/NJczlpcWIgwhttps://youtu.be/_xN0gTVCWe0

>>127569131It's all literally fake and gay.
>>127571927Old men hitting guitars with hair dryers and keyboard duster to fuck the finish up in their garage will never not be funny to me. Yeah Im going to beat my guitars up anyway but I'm also asking for a discount when I find the smallest thing wrong with it in store. Quit hiding poor QC behind "relic" you cowards.
>>127572053"Vintage" as in "faking years of heavy use and wear and tear" has to be one of the stupidest tranny trends across industries in general.
>>127572102Agreed.
>bought a new tuner and strings after 8 years of not playing let's see how this goesone problem i see is most songs i want to learn right now all have different weird tunings and/or 7 string setups and i don't know what to do about that
>172 posts>almost nobody has posted their guitars really makes you think, this truly is a schizo ramble chamber.
Practicing and playing difficult and fast parts makes me subconsciously lock or clench my jaw. Not the biting down kind, more flexing my jaw muscles.This has reached a point where its become an actual problem of constant ache and pain almost around the clock.Anyone with experience on that?> inb4 "just relax"

>>127572312i see u
to save some money, I can just re-wire the pickups to sound like another guitar right?
>>127572312>needing tums and a toilet paper roll by your deskHmmmm.
>>127572254This has been a somewhat recent phenomenon for me too.
>>127572345because it sounded like ass
>new volume pot is noisy at mid level but fine at every other level
>>127572233I follow the rules. No pics of Sunburst Strats. Which is all I have or care to have.
>>12757241090% of it. Scale length makes a big difference in how guitars sound too, and you need that in actual hardware.
real talk, best lube to put on your nut?
>>127572679I've always just used pencil graphite. So not technically lube.
>>127572709k
>>127572716I'm sure there's something better, but there's always a pencil around.

do you tie a luthiers knot when you change strings?
>>127572933I do a loop de loop and pull and my strings are lookin good
>>127572933On my acoustic, but I always forget how and need to look up vids. Acoustic strings don't break often for me so I always forget. I use vintage or locking tuners on electrics so no need.
Honestly it's criminal that guitars in current year don't come with locking tuners and stainless steel frets by default and those are considered "premium" features
bigsby b50 or b5 for my tele dlx?
>>127572996how stupid would it be to upgrade my frets to stainless steel frets?
>>127573016It's expensive, unless you can do it yourself.
>>127572999Those look the same to me what's different?
>>127573050no idea that's why I'm asking
>>127572544Yeah dummy you sprayed wd40 into it for no reason lol
>>127572996Locking tuners are a meme, stainless steel frets sure I guess. Also stacked coils is premium but humbuckers are just sandwiched coils and you can find those on beaters.
>>127573293Only stacked coil I know is Yngwie. Who else plays them?That said, I wonder if I should go that route.
>>127573339Only stacked coil player*
>>127573190it was doing that before that

the fuck is the point of reducing the volume knob on your guitar? doesn't that just reduce the signal to noise ratio?
>>127571814Meant to post this too.
>>127572679I've heard this is good.
>>127573575why's it got the gay flag
>>127572933Every time. I've also taken strings off that I'd tied a luthier's knot on and put them back on without breaking the strings.>>127572999Invest in the B5.>>127573050B5 is USA made, has fewer plastic parts, and is better cast.
>>127572709Graphite is still considered a dry lubricant and is widely used as such.
Honestly, is this the best deal on a cool vibe tele? I'm not too big of a fan of butterscotch, but I think after a little wear from usage, I'd like it. I have never used Sweetwater's gear exchange. Admittedly new to all this shit, hence why I'm so indecisive.
I'm still mad about the boss pq4
>>127573919It won't wear. It's poly. Nice guitar though albeit.
>>127572410Uh, normally you swap the pickups. I don't think you're skilled enough to rewire a pickup itself. Changing the potentiometer values can change the brightness and taper of their spin. You can mod other controls to do something different or add electronics to the control cavity.
Been working through Absolutely understand a gay for awhile and working on memorizing modes. Uh.... is there a better resource to get to fuck with and have a better framework to make metal riffs with? I feel like I'm just memorizing the fretboard and differing scale mode steps at this point and I'm farting around but that's it.
Would you consider the Boss SD-1 (or SD-1w) versatile?Just looking for a relatively clean OD with as little noise as possible to put in front of a high gain tubeamp.> just get a clean boost pedalToo clean, a little mids and bass tightening like with the Tubescreamer 808 is very much desired.I would run it with the gain knob turned up just a little bit.
>>127573919Looks like it's 100$ off, if you like how the 50's neck profile feels, go for it.Also I just realized butterscotch was so popular back in the day because it was pre-yellowed and ready for ciggy smoke filled bars

>>127572053I was fuggin dumbfounded seeing fender custom shop relics at 7k when they were visibly hit with sand paper and a dremel, whereas I got a MiJ guitar a few months ago and got 1/3rd the price off because it had -very real- buckle wear on the back and a ding from being dropped on stage- that's character.
>>127574066yeah, and the ehx hot tubes for how it goes from thick clean boost to fuzz-like, you can turn the tone off to let an eq pedal do all the shaping
>want to support my local mom and pop guitar shop>buy all my strings and cables and stuff like that from them >want a Boss EQ >could have bought it online but want to support them>they’ve got tons of Boss pedals all priced to match the big name stores>but no EQ >no big deal, have them order it and pay up front>say it’ll be a week>that was a month ago>still not in yet>could have just bought it from anywhere online and had it that weekI want to support my local stores but geez it’s hard when it takes a month just to get one thing. If they had told me up front it’d be a month or more instead of just a week I wouldn’t have bought it.

>>127571667I've watched a few videos, it doesn't seem bad on the face of it, I'm playing for myself but don't want to have to patch into my PC and fire up reaper or a bajillion NAM profiles everytime. With this it seems like an easy way to practice and dick around.
>>127574063Master two positions of the modes you're going to use. Contextualize how they sound so that you can recognize them when if you hear other music using them. Most of what you need is interesting rhythm. I don't know what the shortcuts to great rhythm are other than fucking playing.
because they're cheaper. next question.
Have a great day, /gg/ bros.
>>127574068>if you like how the 50's neck profile feels, go for itdesu I've never tried one. I'd go to a guitar shop, but I don't drive and they're an hour away. Only thing I've played is an early model Ibanez Gio. I don't even think they sell the version I have anymore. When I had the 60's with the Bigsby, the neck felt alright besides all the issues. I don't really feel like I had enough time with it though.
can midgets play full scale guitars?

HOWEVER, one of the fucking fender/squier ranges has this wierd godamn V neck and it felt like an abomination.At 350$ though, you can't beat it, unless you find the E-ART or Harley Benton tele copies on sale on amazon again which are infinitely better minus pups

diabetus barbara says no more fret end treatment for gibson guitars she makes until gibson gives her a free pizza lunch every friday
>>127574299Fuck it, I'll bite. I just hope this is the end of my run of bad luck. After I returned the bigsby, I got a sinus infection and then my central air unit went out. It was just one thing after another.And if I have any issues with this one, I'll just have to see if I can get someone to give me a lift to get whatever fixed. I can set it up mostly myself, it's just filling a nut I don't have the tools nor the expertise to do it. I want 10s, and I know that most nuts are cut for 10s, but some of these I've seen have issues since they come with 9s when swapping to 10s.

Eric Johnson is a genius.
>>127574357They are both the same notes; G, D, C
Technically speaking, every time you play an inverted chord you change the key of the song, yes?
>>127574656I don't know. What does it matter if the D is higher or lower than the C?
>>127574656No...
>>127574656Well, it does sound different, but there is no fixed Ds, right? It's relative to the other notes. You can tune your guitar an octave higher and still have the same Ds in the same positions but they will sound higher.
>>127574656The biggest thing I got learning more theory recently is that every mode is basically a venn diagram of neighboring modesEspecially with scales, f lydian is like c ionian or some shit
>>127574686it changes the harmonics that you can hear
>>127574708F Lydian is the same NOTES as C Ionian, but it's not the same as C Ionian, because in F Lydian, the tonal center is the note F, whereas in C Ionian the tonal center is the note C.
>>127574708The modes of the major scale means you play the same notes, but always starting from another note in THAT major scale. There are 7 modes therefore, because there are 7 notes in a major scale. C ionian has the same notes as F lydian, correct.
>>127574710So what is the answer here? What do I need to know, if anything?>>127574626>>127574357
>>127574597I actually only recently listened to his stuff for the first time. Despite knowing his name for a long time turns out I never heard a song of his and always imagined something completely different.I must admit I really missed out, despite him obviously being one of the most skilled guitarists of all time he is also a highly impressive composer/arranger given how he manages to fill the sound with a single guitar + bass + drums while also being a good singer.Still sounds fresh and unique to my modern prog infested brain.
>>127574686Changes the root note = changes the key.simple as.
>>127574728>>127574721Yep, and it really trips me up still because if there's a chord change from C to F, I could theoretically just rehome to f while playing the same shifted pattern, no?Scotty's AUG pdf has some explanations about the steps and the charts showing how some steps are now flat across the change helps.
your changing the roit of the chord of course its gonna sound different dude the lowest note, the middle note, and the highest note are different
>>127574762>>127574815So how can I use the knowledge that Csus2 has the same notes as Gsus4?
what makes a note a root note anyways
just play the roit notes bassy
>>127574838its the lowest note of a chord come on now
>>127574845How do you know it's not inverted if you don't have the sheet music?
>>127574835its an inversion with a different root. just because they have the same notes doesnt mean they sound the same. a C major in one octave is different than a C major in a higher octave.
>>127574838It's the I of the key.
>>127574853inverted or not you can call it a type of chord from whatever the root isidk maybe every chord is an inversion of some other chord you ever think abojt t
>>127574845You're thinking of a bass note, a root can be any note in the voicing.
>>127574856Yes, they feel different even though they are the same. Ok, so I go by that. Also, lowest note is the de facto and de jure root.
>hi, i'm phil. and it's time to know your gear
>>127574865inversions are gay just call the lowest note the root and then use semitones from the root to the other notes to define the chord why we dont just have a special name for a minor 3rd and augmented fifth triad and instead just call it a first inversion major triad i don't fucking know why the fuck dont we call it an augmented minor chord
Watching Jake Lizzio's harmonic minor modes video. The names are the same as the names for the modes of the major scale, except with sharpened or flattened 6ths, 7ths etc.
>>127574068>I just realized butterscotch was so popular back in the day because it was pre-yellowed and ready for ciggy smoke filled barsI thought it was because it reminds Americans of a tasty desert, their one weakness
>>127575037*dessert oops
>>127574862how can root notes exist if eye aren't real
>>127574068It was popular because it appeared white on black and white TVs, same as Gibson’s TV yellow. White was too white on black and white TV so they made them yellow so it looked white.
>>127574923No.This chord is D (or D/F#, or "D with the 3rd in the bass):2x0232It overcomplicates things to call it some kind of F# minor chord, like F#m(b6) or F#m(#5).
>>127574357no, if they have the exact same notes it would have to be Csus2/G
>>127574924not this fucking guy again
>>127575049>makes fun of the greatest English speaking country that has ever existed>can’t differentiate desert from dessertESLs stay losing lmao!
>>127574762changing the harmony doesn't change the key center.... lol
base + major third + perfect fifth = that base's major chord base + minor third + perfect fifth = that base's minor chordbase + major third + augmented fifth = that base's augmented chord base + minor third + augmented fifth = that minor third's first inversion (????????)
What's it mean to 'write' a song on a specific instrument? Like write the chord progression? Melody? etc
>spending all this time learning all these gay words and gay specific patterns instead of just playing guitar and playing what sounds good and feels good
>>127575104I mean that augmented fifth's first inversion
>>127575104Your ear hears that augmented fifth as the root.
>>127575099>ESL is when your autocorrect is fucking stupid (Americans programmed it)
>>127575150no it hears the base as the root
>>127575150Or as some kind of embellishment that wants to resolve, like the beginning of "Dream Warriors" by Dokken: https://youtu.be/Xp-8BfC0FyE?
>>127575123inversions are a big deal if you're playing with other people, they aren't as noticeable or dramatic on a guitar by itself
>>127575077...over G.*puts on thinking cap*>>127575086Why? Do you not like him?
>>127575192Kek, I bet we have crossed paths in /meal/ and other threads.
>>127575254if you can put on videos of a C and G drone and play all 3 chords over it and see how it sounds. (gsus4, csus2, csus2/g etc). when you have inversion chords say Csus2/G only the bass instruments are going to play the G. very different sound
>>1275752545 watt world is hot and spicy compared to that lump
>>127574471Eh, I said fuck it and bought it. I don't mind the price, plus it comes with a free set up, though I know I might have to tinker with it a tiny bit regardless. I'm at a point where I want to get it and not worry about buying anything for a bit. It drives me crazy sometimes cause when I was a kid, I didn't get an allowance. I had to beg like a dog to get a new album. Now I'm cursed with the feeling of anxiety when I buy shit.
>>127575456hey, me too. though begging didn't work for me because we just didn't have the money anyway. any time i buy something nice i just constantly think about how having the money back would be better
>>127575290I will, thanks, did I tell you I drink your helpful comments? >>127575384He sparks some thought however.
One more question.When I play a A powerchord, then a F powerchord, I can solo on the A minor pentatonic. Why does it sound so good? Is it because the F note is missing from the A minor (aeolian) and it sounds like it completes it? Because F is not part of the A minor pentatonic.
>>127575885true it's not but A is the 3rd (harmony) of the F
hate it all you want, you're still going to buy it.
>>127575987No way.
>>127575987lolno
>>127575987Why would I buy a multi effects pedal with just one switch?
>>127575987No amp modeling, IR-2 mogs it
>>127575885If you play A Minor Gin&Tonic over F, you are playing the 2nd (9th), 3rd, 5th, 6th (13th), and 7th against F. If you changed that 7th (the E note) to an F (Root over F), you'd be playing a complete F Major Gin&Tonic scale over F.
>>127576239now play the Fmin pentatonic over A hehe
Do you like his guitars?
>>127576376i like his movies, even if national treasure was a bit cheesy
Pic rel is one of the hottest looking guitars I've seen. Probably my favourite X shape. His Vs are also pretty cool. Although they both have retarded input jack location and I'd prefer the X in 25.5 scale.
>>127576569ow my arm
>>127576586I imagine it'd actually be really comfy with that bevel up top. Looks so good. I seriously don't understand why he'd put the input jack on the lower horn and completely ruin classical position when the upper horn was right there!
>>127575977Aha,aha>>127576239You lost me brother. The E note is the 4th in the A supersonic and 5th in the A minor. Why are you calling it a 7th.>>127576353Willl do after a sandwich break
>>127576239Ohhh, you meant the F scale, those are the common notes in F major and A minor acrimonic. (How did you know?)
>watches the general happily engage in a conversation about modes without half of them realizing it
>>127576796gay mode
>>127576796i'm angry. ANGRY ABOUT MODES

>>127576708>You lost me brother. The E note is the 4th in the A supersonic and 5th in the A minor. Why are you calling it a 7th.It's the 7th in relation to the note F. Any sound you hear gets contextualized over the current harmony, more or less.
