Bought my first (acoustic) guitar. What should I learn in order? I've been practicing the spider exercise and chord shapes from youtube, what else? Can you guys give me a map
>>
>>127578269
what are you trying to become? a modern guitarist that knows all his scales and modes but can't write or play songs or a stroomer?
>>
>>127578269
In all seriousness I would start by learning songs you like. Keep it simple at first, like the chord changes to Beatles tunes
>>
>>127578364
>>127578366
Yeah, for starters I'd like to play campfire chords and such. Eventually, maybe some improvisation and solos over chords
>>
>>127578387
in my opinion, i would recommend a beginners course ideally one focused on learning songs. i know that sounds incredibly obvious in text, but not all courses are designed that way. if you want my real real opinion i would recommend bluegrass because it is specifically targeted towards building speed with chord changes, walking and alternating bass lines, and injecting melodic leads during vocal breaks. it seems like a no brainer for the unaccompanied player. that or a finger style course. flatpicking is cool but you can do so much more with fingerstyle

Thanks! I'll look them up on youtube or /t/
Is there a point to warming up? I got recommended that I should do a spider exercise every time before I start playing for real or a guy on youtube said 1434 1424 to improve ring and middle finger independence
Fingerstyle as in plucking with just the fingers without a pick right? I do intend to do that but personally, hybrid picking looks cooler to me (EAD with a pick, GBE with your middle, ring and pinky)
>>
>>127578510
highly recommend warming up even at an advanced level, though as you progress the time it takes to warm up gets shorter. warming up is a good time to take things you already know and slow them down and hyper focus on cleaning up your technique and getting more economical motion. i worked on my anchoring technique today for my warmup

Thanks anon. I did a little research, and apparently PRS guitars have a scale length of 25” and Strats are 25.5”
So Essentially I don’t think my strat would cut it if I’m going for that sound. Also, they used humbuckers.
However, in Minutes to Midnight, they used Strats (not exclusively, but extensively).
>>
>>127579643
None of that matters, especially with a $100 EQ pedal.

>>127579643
you should be able to get close with some virtual amps and your strat set to the right pickup

>>127579643
Scale length matters for playing feel and bends and whatnot, they aren't gonna drastically affect the tone

Thanks, are there any brands which have thinner than average fretboards / necks? My hands are pretty small so I want to be able to reach the strings with all my fingers.

Ibanez or other shredder brands tend to have thinner necks than vintage stuff, but you have to go to a store and try them out to be sure, electric guitar necks are already very small in general
Electric guitars unplugged are maybe a fifth as loud as acoustic, shouldn't be a problem as long as your walls aren't paper thin

Probably just some hippy boomer's small shop (or an old country/bluegrass shop if you're going acoustic), which barely exist now. Worst is the stores packed with aging metalheads and shredders who all got a stick up their ass.

How do you get muscle memory for every possible fret and string?

>>127580487
OK, metalheads outside the store might be better. Just not inside.
You know he's probably some desperate methhead and will give a good deal.
>>
>>127580323
I would recommend listening to no talking demos and take note of the pickups and amp used. Or just pick up a Tele and see if it's for you.
>>
>>127580422
>are there any brands which have thinner than average fretboards / necks?
That varies from guitar to guitar. I have a 1960's ES-335 12-string (an amazing instrument), and the neck is almost as small as a mandolin's (early LP's were often this way)! Yet my '76 Explorer, only a few years older from the very same factory, has a neck that quite seriously feels like a baseball bat. Ibanez guitars are often cited as having skinny necks, but the JEM model necks are huge because Steve has big hands.

Also remember the width of the fretboard and the depth of the neck are two independent measures. PRS used to combine both in what they called their "wide-thin" neck profile.

So the only ways to know for sure are 1) play the guitar in question, or 2) get the exact dimensions of the neck.

p.s. Don't be afraid to use a guitar with a neck that's a little outside your initial preference if the instrument itself makes you want to play. Wanting to play is the magic that makes everything else better.

Is it true that for you to actually play a tube amp right, you have to crank it up high?

>>
>>127580833
Yeah, but some amps have good preamps for quieter gain at home levels. Oldschool designs without master volumes like vintage Fenders and Marshalls made cranking a necessity. But you can get great low volume tones out of modern Marshalls and Mesas and EVH. The Fender Super-Sonic I just got might have the most kickass gain channel I've played with, at least in an amp this size. It can get sort of 90-ish high gain, but turning Gain 1 low and Gain 2 off sounds like a cranked Fender crunch.

Sometimes overdrives sound like shit on some amps, and great on others.
>>
>>127580833
>Is it true that for you to actually play a tube amp right, you have to crank it up high?
Sort of.

There's the way a tube preamp responds to the dynamics of the playing. Then there's the way the power amp stage responds to driving the speaker load. Finally, there's the way the guitar responds to being vibrated by the sound from the amp.

All of these are different, and can be modulated separately and combined in different ways. So it's definitely possible to get some tube feel simply going through a tube pre (or even more extremely, DI through a tube pre plug-in - Satch's "Elephants of Mars" was done this way).

But because of that whole feedback loop of guitar->pre->power->guitar the volume and timbral dynamics of playing a tube amp loud in a room really can't be topped.
>>
>>127581084
>Do we hate gibson here?
I like Gibson, but not enough to buy one. Or not any new ones. I had an SG long ago though.
>>
>>127581089
I really do think the OD side is meant to boost an already dirty amp. I tried it on a crunchy amp and it added nice sustain. It just sounds bad as a stand alone OD into a clean amp.

Attenuators act as a master volume for your tube amp, so you get breakup at tolerable volumes. A solid state is going to already have a master volume so that's less things to buy and move around.

Moreso a different feel than a different sound. The sound is dependent on many factors and lots of if not most solid states are emulating tube sounds.

Yep, you got it. It's not bad vs good, it's good vs better.

>So if I’m not going to rattle my windows, will there still be benefits to getting a tube over a solid state?
The most, most, MOST important thing about any music gear is:

GET WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY AND WANT TO PLAY.

If the sound of a tube thing does it for you, get that. If the convenience of an amp modeling plug-in running on your phone does it for you, get that. What matters is that you play, and you enjoy yourself doing it. That's ALL that matters.

So don't let subtleties - which can definitely matter - get in the way of you PLAYING. Try something. If it works, keep it. If it doesn't, try something else. Don't let things not being moment-by-moment perfect make you too miserable or stop you (I used to give Eric Johnson no end of grief about that one). We all have a limited amount of time here on Earth. What matters is that you let the music that wants to use you as a conduit to this world come through you.

And that can only happen if no matter what you PLAY.

Good luck, have fun, and I hope you make lots of music.

"Your talents are God's gift to you. What you do with them is your gift to God."
>>
>>127581812
trvth nvke, always play and keep trying things (not the same as keep buying things)
>>
>>127581812
>Your talents are God's gift to you. What you do with them is your gift to God.
Amen; I couldn’t have said it better myself- the parable from Matthew 25 immediately came to mind.
I know it’s probably no big deal, but your words truly did mean a lot to me. I’m going to actually screencap it, cause that’s some solid and uplifting advice.
Time is something we truly don’t get back. Thanks man, and God bless.
>>
>>127581279
Ditto what the guy said with whatever makes you happy. I started with a cheapo solid state then added a multi fx unit. IME though, getting a small tube amp did make me reconsider my playing technique (Laney Cub 12) and might have improved it. Most tube amps I've tried since are more touch sensitive than just playing modellers/pedals through solid states which tend to be more flattering and compressed (which tube amps can be too depending on the preamp).
Just don't get one that has too much volume for your use case.

Exercise 3. I think if you do this daily, mainly focusing on the natural notes (A, B, C, D, E, F, G), it should become second nature in very little time. Maybe also mix up the order of strings once you have that down.

See the dots or inlays? They occur at 3,5,7,9 &12th frets. See the side of your neck? There are little dots there too that match the inlays. These are reference markers for the following phrases always from 6th string to 1st string:

Open Strings & 12th Fret: Eat A Darn Good Breakfast Everyday

3rd: Go Cook Fish And(#) Don't Gag (just remember the A is a sharp).

5th: All Donkeys Go Crazy Every April (they like to fuck since it's Spring).

7th: Be Excellent And Don't Flick (sharp) Boogars. (flicking boogars is bad, especially sharp ones)

9th: No phrase but sound it out phonetically: Cee sharp Eff sharp BEGsharp Cee sharp

10th: Dinosaurs Got Cold Fast And Died (which is kinda what happened after the asteroid strike).

12th Fret: See the open string phrase at #1

You can then infer sharps or flats depending on if you're going up the neck (sharp) or down the neck (flat).

This is by far the easiest way to learn the fretboard. Also, strings are just alphabetical up the neck.
>>
>>127584052
Forgot to mention at the 10th fret there is no dot. But a nice phrase fits here. Since the 9th fret dot has an awkward phonetical phrase, this one makes up for that.

12fret has two dots and all phrases you already know repeat up the neck after this point.

Alphabetical reference means: A B C D E F G, then repeat again and again A B C D E F G. You just need to know where in the alphabet to start from...easy.
>>
>he think he'll break into the music industry in 2025 if he doesn't have family connections
>>
>>127584093
Last thing to mention. There is no space for sharps or flats between B and C as well as E and F. So if you can visualize this, BC and EF are stuck together like Siamese twins joined at the hip. Everything else (every other letter) in the musical alphabet gets a flat or a sharp. But never BC or EF. For your purposes this will hold true however there some exceptions in studying real music theory...but until then don't worry about that.

String 5 is completely alphabetical since it is the A string and starts on the note A. Memorizing the A string is therefore the easiest.

Strings 6 and 1 happen to be the next easiest since they occur twice on the neck. They just start at E. Next note up is F on both of them because there is no space between E and F remember...that's why I pointed it out to you.

Same goes for at least 2 frets in either direction since anyone can easily "calculate" the note fast enough based on their knowledge of the fifth fret. So that is learned fasted as well.

A Kemper profile very accurately replicates a signal chain "as is". This gives a result almost indistinguishable from the real thing at the same settings.
However changing the settings on the Kemper profile becomes just an approximation and loses accuracy the further you move from the settings you profiled.

Kemper profiling an amp at 6 gain will sound different from the amp at 3 if you turn the Profile gain down to 3 as well.

Is this also the case for modern modeling amps and pedals like the hx stomp or the hotone ampero? How do those implement their amp models?
>>
>>127578027
How tall are you now and what do you play today? Baritone?
>>
Pretty much profiling modelers across the board. The ai captures aren't moving the amp knobs around and unfucking the amp in every possible configuration the musician can dial in.

The amps and their controls are fully interactive. For example, the treble moves the mid notch around on a fender and all the derivative eqs.
Presence effects the eq and some character of the clipping of the power amp. The pre gain is early clipping but that signal strength effects how the power amp distorts. Basically, guitar amps mess up the signal in a dozen different ways and your software is only capturing what the amp is doing at one setting.

idk if they'll deepen the thoroughness of the captures down the road.

So in some senses its better than a floyd but i think my floyd rose guitar has better sustain. i also dont have the latest best Kahler trem.

The recommended way to clean unfinished (rosewood, ebony and similar) fingerboards is:

Maple is finished, you don’t want to scracth it up. Maple also needs to be finished or else it gets nastier than rosewood does.

Anyone tried out Guitar Institutes classic progression books?
>>
>>127586937
I guess it's not that obvious. Because it's a lighter-colored wood, maple is finished (coated) and you'll scratch the finish off, then it'll look dingy, like the pic as it picks up skin oil & dirt. Fender used to use lacquer on his maple boards in the 1950s. Being soft, lacquer wore off and the result would be like the pic. Legend has it when he saw that on some performer's guitar on early TV, he thought it would ruin his brand, so he used harder finishes, today polyurethane, which won't wear off unless you deliberately sand it. Some performers, Springsteen for one, use vintage guitars that have this look because they came from the lacquer era, they're so old. Others do it deliberately, but the point is that it's evocative of the time when they used lacquer on maple and so the patina develops.

None of this is a concern for dark woods, so makers don't put a finish on them, hence the need to oil those occasionally.

you can adjust it to how you want no issues with that. i still have to adjust it a bit more but theres no issue atm. i wish there was more info on these old kahlers but i might order the X trem sometime.

Those are all my dad’s guitars, but in my early 20s he bought me one of those same Ibanez acoustics so we can each have one. They’re neat little guitars, just cheap Korean Ibanez but it feels like an electric. He bought his in the mid 1990s and I grew up playing it when I started to learn to play guitar around 2003ish. Ibanez ATL10, there’s a red one of Reverb right now for less than $500 but I’ve seen these same black ones for as little as $250 when they pop up.

Lemon oil is basically just mineral oil if you have that. Baby oil, which is mostly mineral oil, can be used depending on the additives

Grab a used squier or epiphone, try to grab rocksmith + a rocksmith cable for PC or console and get going, watch the videos in the sticky

I've been using my dads old electric guitar to play but I think I want something to call my own.
I haven't been playing for too long (about 6 months) but is it dumb to want to buy a really nice guitar at this point?
>>
>>127580842
if you don't want to cough up a lot, a used seagull can take you a looong way for about 400 bux
>>
it’s just rock ‘n’ roll
>>
>>127587707
Yes, kind of. Who knows how much longer you’re going to stick with it, so why bother spending big money on something at ends up being a passing phase? Define “really nice guitar”, how much are you looking to spend?
>>
>>127587707
No, just get a Squier or Epiphone. Learn to set it up well and they're good guitars
>>
>>127587707
Get a used MIM for like 500-600, holds value better than a Squier if you do sell it one day.
>>
>>127587707
define 'really nice' and how old are you at this point?
At 24, I bought a '85 MIJ Fender Strat for about 360 bucks (with shipping) secondhand out of Japan, and totally replacing and upgrading the electronics with a local guitar tech only set me back another 200 with a setup.

If I bought a MIJ Strat in the 50-60k yen range at the time, I could have skipped needing to fix the electronics and save myself the headache. So if you have the patience to navigate shitty website UIs I would look into importing one if you need to scratch that itch.

GC has a sale so going to go return my katana mini x for either a katana 3 50 or a spark 2 tomorrow, can ANYONE talk me out of it?
I was eyeing a harley benton tube 15 but I'm a beginner so built in effects pedals I don't have to pay for mean a bit more for me.
I like the mini x since I can have it on my desk and not on a plug but half the effects suck dog dick

If you’re positive you’re going to stick with guitar, go for it. If you’re set on G&L I’d suggest buying used off of Reverb rather than new, G&L doesn’t hold its value as well as the big name brands so you can get a used one for a decent amount off of new. G&Ls are great guitars. If you buy one new and end up not sticking with guitar you’re going to take a hit selling, but if you buy used and end up selling you’re not going to loose much.
