See if it works.
>>127694705no
>>127694518Who makes good ones besides ESP?
Buy American.
For me it's the EC1000B
>>127694826alvarez and yamaha i think are the last two big ones that still do custom or all made in japan guitars apart from esp.
>>127694903i shouldn't even say alvarez, the mij ones are sold under yairi for the most part but i believe they are entirely acoustic
Any of you guys ever play in a band playing music you don’t really like? I’ve been playing with my wife and some friends of ours (also a husband and wife) playing an alt country kind of stuff and while it’s fun making music with friends it just isn’t my style of music. I play guitar, my wife sings, the guy friend plays electric violin or the occasional guitar when two guitars are needed, his wife plays drums, and their teenage daughter plays bass. It’s fun but I just have a hard time enjoying that music. Alt country isn’t my thing, I tell myself it’s kind of Wilco inspired to make it easier to digest for myself but still. I don’t want to quit because it’s my wife and our friends but I also am getting burned out forcing myself to enjoy this music. We play the occasional gig around town every couple of months and we’re going to be recording this weekend. I enjoy hanging out with and playing music with them but it just isn’t up my alley. I doubt they’ll continue with another guitarist if I quit so I don’t want to be the one to walk away and ruin the fun for everyone else so I’ve just sucked it up and kept playing. I’ve tried to get my wife to play a Pixies Black Francis/Kim Deal inspired kind of music with both of us singing but she’s not into the more loud and abrasive stuff like that like I am. And no we don’t do any gay swinger wife swap cuck shit, my wife and I are happily married and monogynous and aren’t into any of that weird sex shit and neither are our friends (or their daughter).
I'm about to order some compensated saddles for the butterscotch tele. Should I go with Wilkinsons? I'm hesitant about the Gotohs cause some people end up having to shim the neck, and I don't feel like doing that.I'm gonna have to take it to a shop eventually. It needs a fret leveling, there's a few buzzing frets I want resolved. That can wait. Other that that, it was a good deal. Still trying to figure out good bridge/neck pickup heights.
>>127694928I’ve only used Gotohs and haven’t had any issues needing to shim the neck. If you do need to shim the neck that isn’t a big deal, just stick some card stock in the inner edge of the neck pocket (I use old topps Pokemon and DBZ cards from when I was a kid). I’ve heard great things about the Wilkinsons too. Check out the Music City Bridge Tele saddles, those are going to be my next set I buy to check out because I like everything Joe Glaser does.
>>127694918>ever play in a band playing music you don’t really likeAs soon as it stops being fun, it's over for me personally. Whether that's due to music, relationships, etc.>alt country I had an old roommate that always pushed me to do just this. "Just go play country in frat bars on the weekend and make a ton of cash", and he was right, but it sounded soul sucking then and it sounds even worse now. Just do what makes you happy man. Don't let it kill your love of playing.
>>127694903>yamaha is japaneseYeah I'm retarded
there are compensated single barrel? This thing looks ridiculous.
How do I learn how to sing? I have a monotone voice.
>>127692077Extreme - He-Man Woman Hater
>>127694918What music would you prefer playing?
>>127694955Just play country like this and it becomes fun.https://youtu.be/0bJZXI7EZ7o?list=RD0bJZXI7EZ7o
>>127694965yeah but not all japanese instrument manufacturers even do all-japan builds and if you really want to split hairs all guitar builders get like 95% of the worlds spruce through a single sawmill in missouri. so don't feel retarded
>>127694918are you playing it straight, meaning what they want you to play? you could try injecting your influences into the music, that how a lot of legends were born. for example, tony rice brought a lot of jazz chords and voice leadings to bluegrass because he liked jazz. i suppose you could say he was just a protege of clarence white and he was certainly the first to admit but still
when will we get the MIA Yamaha revstar?
>>127691118Using Rsmods makes it a whole lot easier, depending on your interface it should just be plug and play now.Having said that after 3 days of using an interface the game audio started crackling out of nowhere and the game started crashing for some bullshit reason, ended up deleting some files and it works again.
Anyone else love falling asleep to setup videos/repair videos?https://youtu.be/TTg0Lh5yvNA?si=NzndY18X-iRXkC6m
>>127695074check out the vocal courses on artistworks. i'm assuming you're a bit autistic and socially reclusive (4chan). $25 a month but if that's a huge deal to you, you could just watch all the videos in a month and write down the exercises
>>127694918Couldn't you suggest some songs that are more alt?
>>127695173Yeah I love watching that Canadian dude do headstock and acoustic repairs. I forget his name but it has "wood" in it I'm pretty sure.
>>127695173>>127695290Nvm I found him https://youtu.be/5s-KyPh3tOY
Ever meet someone you were surprised to discover that they played music?
>>127695312ted is among the best. autistic attention to detail
>>127694955Playing with my wife and genuine friends like them makes me happy but I’d be more happy playing the kind of stuff I play on my own time. >>127695087Something heavier but not too heavy, something a little dissonant, maybe something a little more funky. My playing is very inspired by guitarists like Tom Verlaine/Richard Lloyd (Television), David Byrne/Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads), Black Francis/Joey Santiago (Pixies), stuff like that. Late 70s new wave-ish and pre Nirvana alternative with some surf inspired lead stuff cuz I love Dick Dale. >>127695166With them I try to keep it simple, yeah. I don’t play power chords, I’ll play cowboy chords when it’s absolutely necessary, and try not to use standard E or A shape barre chords. I like playing C shape or G shape barres and I like alternate chord shapes, I play a lot of 6/7/9/11/diminished kind of jazzy sounding triad stuff. I use my pinky a lot when chording. I could add a lot of that stuff in but I also don’t want it to take away from what the rest of them want sound wise. >>127695282It’s really not up their alley. It’s very “normie” feeling where the playing I do in my own time isn’t. The guy on violin is into like 70s prog and we can goof off and have fun but he’s also firmly in the country camp with the girls. /Mass reply novel Ted talk
>>127695404I’m happy for you or sorry that happened
>>127695404always serve the song, but you have more room to stretch your legs than you think. take a dive into clarence white and tony rice and see if you get any inspirationhttps://youtu.be/GUm14U9T3-w
>>127695348He really is. I always glean some good info and his voice is easy to listen to.
>>127695173No. I fall asleep to aviation disaster or shipwreck videos, Mayday air disaster, green dot aviation, captain Steve, airliner designs, oceanliner designs. Brick immorter, etc. I try to find channels without annoying background music and neutral deep male voiceovers. Something about hundreds of people dying horrifically while I’m lying in a comfy bed under the covers is so much more soothing than someone fixing guitars, but to each their own. I found a new channel called boring stories to fall asleep to, but that nigger talks for like 4 hours straight.
>>127694986Basically the same thing as a classic gibson wraparound bridge
>>127695457Nobody wants to hear you do your avant garde rendition of their favorite song. Stop giving him bad advice, jazz nerd.
>>127695598Speak for yourself, I love when live bands (tastefully) rearrange things, whether it's a cover or their own music.
>>127695598ain't nobody saying all that. just saying he doesn't have to play 4 on the floor ad perpetuam
>>127695678Yeah because you’re a jazz nerd. Normies dislike jazz and don’t want to hear your experimental version of a song they’ve listened to hundreds of times before. You’re playing covers, you’re not in an original band that has a license to remake something classic.
>>127695457If I get into Clarence White then I’ll succumb to the urge to get a B bender installed in one of my Teles, that’s a dangerous suggestion brother
>>127695691I never said anything about Jazz, you're shadowboxing. There's no shortage of popular covers that had major depatures from the original btw, normies love it.
>>127695312>les paul headstock again
>>127694598but does it twang?
>GDS again
>>127695849no everyone knows the twang comes from where you rest your forearm so they've removed the twang with the mods
Hi friends
>>127695895sup
>>127695918Hello, I bought this guitar off Facebook marketplace for 200 bucks just to get my feet wet and I went to guitar center for an amp and some old dude playing Pantera told me to get a Marshall DSL40CR so I bought that and now im watching guitar lessons on YouTubeWish me luck!!!!!
>>127695969Good luck broski
>>127695849>Can something which doesn't have right angle edges twang? >Can something with cast saddles twang? >Can something with pickups over 10k twang? >Can a toploader bridge twang.>*Doubtful.*
>>127695969>some old dude playing Pantera told me to get a Marshall DSL40CR so I bought that and now im watching guitar lessons on YouTubeBased. God luck and good speed, anon.
>>127695969nice man. good looking guitar and those are great amps.
Do you prefer looser string gauges for better tone or heavier string gauges for tighter feel but less tone quality?
Let's jamHere's the backing track LBO 16https://vocaroo.com/11XYmtUUzbSuhttps://vocaroo.com/1eZFbb8slr3ishit take, can do better
>>127696088more like loser string gauges
>>127696088Depends on the scale length
>>127696088thicker strings actually give better tone but you have to play them harder to get it and that can really kill speed. i go with 12s on my acoustic
10s on 25.5 and 24.75 for me. I don’t own a shortscake but if I get one, 10s will be on those too.
>>127696599>shortscakeshortscale.... sorry guys
>bought another guitarThis one will satisfy me though I can feel it
>>127696696suuuure it will
Just downloaded a demo of this amplitude tonex thing after watching a cameron cooper demo on it and damn. I might have to buy this. There are lots of really solid usable amps and effects built into this thing that sound really good. here's me playing a half assed attempt at pride and joy by srv with one of the deluxe reverb amp sims. my input gain is prolly too high i was just messin around.https://vocaroo.com/1cD7jhsUOVq5
it's crazy how rehearing one song just a couple of times eats up 20 minutes of practice in the blink of an eye
>>127692695Yep. This is a Trad II, Alder body, Pure Vintage pickups, and the build quality blows the fuck out of any American Femder offset from the last decade. I can absolutely manhandle this thing trem and all and it stays in tune for days. It was shipped over with the neck off, I put it and the stock strings on it and it was perfectly intonated, action .060” with no shim needed. I wouldn’t trade this for any other Jag vintage or otherwise, it’s legitimately flawless.
>>127696792I hate learning songs because I forget them 2 weeks later and then I have to learn them again. And I get really autistic about getting them perfect to the original recording.
>>127696813tfw still no jag
>>127696839i feel that. it's why i need to work really hard on my ear because my short term memory is asscheeks
>that one fag complaining about Latinx women
>>127695969Spend every spare moment playing and you’ll be decent pretty quick. Also, do some boning up on basic guitar setup and maintenance, having a better playing/sounding guitar makes the process a lot easier. Nice amp choice.
>>127696867That was me. Please keep el globlina la creaturas to yourself
wenge
>>127696923It's pronounced "wenge"
rip cocobolo it's all gone
>>127696894Post your guitar and I will abide
rip cock&ballso they’re all gone (cuz ur trans)
>>127696937what are you trying to say
What does chocobolo sound like
>>127696932You first
>>127696852You should get one, you could snag a used Vintera for a fair price on Reverb. The Vintera IIs look pretty great with the maple fretboard and black block inlays.
>>127696956ok
>>127696963
>>127696963Haha I like the edit anon! Made me chuckle!
>>127696867Calling her fat was pretty funny, she was downright svelt for a Latina
>>127696962There’s a Sherwood green FSR II about an hour and a half away for $2k that I’m really tempted by but I just bought that Tele and shouldn’t be spending more guitar money. I’m really thinking about selling my Revstar and my CIJ Mustang to thin the herd a little bit and use that money to buy either a Jag or like a Dr Z amp or something similar
>>127696987Bruh that bitch was fat as fuck ong. Just because her muffins weren’t exploding out them jeans don’t mean her body fat wasn’t 40%. Put her in some white girl jeans and her ass would be spilling out like an overfilled churro
>>127696987Also she was like 16 they blow up around 19 or 20. Guaranteed she’s 250lbs by now.
>>1276970201/4 ton is perfect weight for my pickup and my girl
>>127696991>I just bought that Tele and shouldn’t be spending more guitar moneyNta but that's the wrong spirit>buy either a Jag or like a Dr Z amp or something similardo both the decide if you want to sell something
>>127697037I wish I could buy my old custom shop carvin tele back but I don’t know where it is and it was kind of a piece of shit
>>127697058TL60? I've always wanted one of those myself.
>>127697080Yeah tl-60t Wilkinson trem HH in blue burst with gold hardware, locking sperzels and a coil split. Actually the guitar itself was fine but the pickups sounded horrible.
Ordered one of these today, I’ll be getting the delay as well when it releases. Pedal meme anon, please work your magic if you’re still here.
>>127696813You can't compare those, Fender US has been doing the Jaguar dirty for decades. Compare a US Tele to a JP Tele.
>>127696991Dude, I’m telling you, these FSRs do not feel like toys like the MIJ Stangs do. $2k is less than I paid for mine and I would have paid more to get it in fiesta red with the matching headstock.
>>127697011Lol she weighs 140 tops. I’ve never fucked a fatty in my dozens of conquests, I would not consider her overweight, curvy at most.
>>127697126sorry he died
>>127697011>Put her in some white girl jeans and her ass would be spilling out like an overfilled churrohot
>>127697020Okay, I will give you that, they do age like unpasteurized milk
>>127697164That’s fat as fuck for her height. And she’s more like 160. Just because she bought jeans that keep her torta belly from spilling out like a hot can of refried doesn’t mean she’s skinny. Also Mexicans smell
>>127697116Do you remember which pickups it had in it? Carvin pups are love/hate for a lot of people with the exception of the M22 humbuckers which are universally loved.
>>127697193I don’t know. I bought it around 96. They didn’t sound very good and were extremely noisy. Like noisier than single coils for some reason.
>>127697126don't want to double dip too much brand-wise, lemme see what i can come up with
>>127697137They are better than the AVII JMs by a country mile. I’m specifically talking about the Trad II FSR with alder body/US electronics. The components are similar but the build quality is far superior. I’ve played a dozen of the AVIIs and they all feel and look like MIMs
>mim strat neck 1996>75 bucks>guy claims it’s not warped>has fret wear (waiting for him to tell me how bad)Is it worth?
>>127697218lol, 12 stage gaper..
>>127697218This is funny if you’re 12
>>127697224if the truss rod still works
>>127695184Thanks anon.>i'm assuming you're a bit autistic and socially reclusiveI work 1 day a week, and spend the rest of the time mainly in my house. So probably. My gf thinks I’m adhd.Also thanks anon.
>>127697248it's going to be tough not having a real instructor for feedback but you can buy a chromatic tuner to see how close you're getting to hitting the notes.
>>127697224Ask for a pics of it top down looking at the fret markers. You could always flip it. I have an 04 Standard Strat and the neck is primo compared to MIMs these days. I just played it for the first time in a while and forgot just how nice those are, mine needs some fretwork and re-soldering though.
>>127697224For $75 why not? Licensed Fender necks are way more expensive nowadays.
Fixing my technique after 10 years is making me want to quit.
>>127697371i've only been playing for 3 months and being able to play at 160 bpm cleanly and sounding like absolute dogshit at 180 bpm makes me want to quit
>>127697126here ya go
I don't get it if you stack a single coil pick up with two coils wouldn't it sound like a humbucker because that's literally what a humbucker is
>>127697224Yeah, that's barely more than generic chink necks off alibaba
>>127697401hahaahahaha that’s a good one anon. I turn 13 next week btw can you do one for my birthday?
>>127697437the magnetic field is picking up the same frequencies just farther away. side by side could pick up different frequencies because they're receiving a signal at different lengths of the strings. more bass farther away from the bridge more mids near the bridge etc
Does anyone even change out their tele's neck pick up, sure I can order one off sweetwater or something but I never see them in guitar stores or on used market
>>127697437It's possible to design a "humbucker" such that it has similar frequency response to a single coil. Frequency response is what gives a pickup its character. PRS talks about this
Can someone please tell me what's up with my brain. I can improv fairly well and come up with decent riffs on the fly when I'm jamming with my friends (three-piece, I'm guitar plus drummer and bassist), but outside of that I am not a creative person. I never have song ideas come to me when I'm showering or sleeping or whatever like so many great writers talk about. I have never understood why this is. Any psychologists in here?
>>127697619i'm the same way. i'm better at creatively spinning something else than i am coming up with something completely original. i think most people are or else people wouldn't say the great artists stole from other great artists
>>127697619Some people simply aren't songwriters no matter how hard they try, I believe creativity is something that can be encouraged but can't be taught
buy a fender, swap out the neck and place a squier decal on the head stock instead, sell for 5×it's total price
>>127697677I agree with you but I wonder why I come up with (seemingly) original stuff when jamming. Am I apeing other people's shit without realizing? Am I more so putting puzzle pieces together with chords/scales based on what my drummer and bassist are doing? We usually start with some random progression and I alternate between riffs and lead on top of it.
>>127697699Why not record what you play then see if you can take bits and pieces to form a more complete thing, I believed this is how the old breeds like hendrix did it
*inhales*E phrygian...*exhales*Home...

You do have a thinline hollow-body, right?
>>127697870yeah it's called a dreadnought
>>127697870Yeah about that, what the fuck counts as a thinline and what counts as a semi hollow because some autists got mad at me for mixing them up before
>>127697870thats about the only thing I don't have
>>127697870I don't need one
>>127697895>what the fuck counts as a thinline2.25" or thinner.>semi hollowThat's murky. You have centerblocks, centerposts, trestle bracing, and chambering. Strictly speaking, a hollow-body guitar does not have a physical connection between the top and back other than the rims.
>>127697963>the rims
>>127697865isn't this dudes music a literal joke? or am i misunderstanding something? i tried listening to it once and just assumed it's a gag
>>127698016i don't know who that is, maybe he should buy an ad
>>127694918Sweetie... I would go to them and explain them this, or even show them this text. Tell them you would not feel good quitting, but you don't feel good playing music you don't really connect with. Maybe ask if they can split the difference. Maybe say, "hey, how about we each get to pick a new song we like, and replace them in the setlist, replacing the 5 least favored songs (by anonymous vote). Obviously don't do exactly this, but the idea of compromise that could lead to something better for all. You run the risk of it being even worse, though. I would say try to communicate this as simply as can be. If they care about your enjoyment they will probably intuitively understand. Maybe it's even you're own fault for not being clear of your level of enjoyment from the start.
>>127698121maybe women just ruin the experience of everything they touch
yamaha 121c or brazillian jazzmaster knockoff? yamaha is about 150 bucks, the other is about 250 (both second-hand)
>>127698132yeah wild. works on my machine
>>127698138>yamaha 121cjust get a used mexican strat or JM if you really want an offset
>>127698146you have a band with your wife and his friend and his wife?
>>127698151it's not the offset per se that attracts me, but the availability. the yamaha is at a pawnshop a couple streets away from my apartment. the tagima is on facebook marketplace also within walking distance
>>127698166yamahas are prestigious. people will likely laugh at your for a non-american fender but never a yamaha
>>127698173the headstock is the same on the fenders, how would anyone know?
>having to play a gimmick guitar to get attention Oof. Gibson was good enough for BB King, good enough for an mean old vet like me.
>>127697807Music Man chads
>>127698157not exactly im just not an autist so having conversations WITH the other people rather than with yourself generally yields better results both in bands and talking to women in general
>>127698204boomers like to shit their pants over mediocre guitarists in every thread. BB was good but he doesn't make the brand better he just played the guitars they gave him so he could keep more money to buy cheeseburgers. a true american hero
>>127698121Yeah but that involves taking the happy mask off and sharing how I actually feel which is incredibly difficult>>127698210Ouch brother
>>127698195it's going to be like that scene in Snatch with the desert eagle and the replicas>Like a prick, you are having second thoughts about playing lead tonight. You are shrinking, and your two little balls are shrinking with you. And the fact that you've got "Hue hue hue" written down on the headstock of your instrument, and the fact that I've got "Fender Jazzmaster" written on mine... should precipitate your shrinking.
>>127698223you should practice more and let your playing do the talking
where was it made?
>>127698245Japan
Do 1-piece bodies make a difference?
>>127698138>yamaha 121cIs that the guitar they put in those gigmaker starter packs? Bro anything but that shit
>>127698234there exists no greater cope than the poorfag who thinks his playing is any better than his garbage tier instruments
>>127698210none of that even if it were true has any bearing on most women complaining frequently thoughever
>>127698272well, shit, it is, lel. and unless they're storing the amp elsewhere, seems they're only selling the guitar with a strap. but it's still a yamaha, right? surely even in their cheap models they must have some standards, hopefully unlike chinesium fenders
>>127697824>023200Yep yep
>>127698272gigmaker? who doesn’t want to make the gig.
>>127698219>taking the happy mask off and sharing how I actually feelDude grow a fucking spine. You deserve to be just as happy as everyone else in life. Stand up for what you actually want. Nodding and gritting your teeth only works for so long until you have a blow up and everyone thinks you're an asshole for not just having a conversation like an adult.
>>127698401is this the aa meeting?
>>127698450Are these the conversations they have there?
>>127698488yes, i mean your post reads like a sponsor at a men’s neeting giving tough love to a newcomer. sincerely. you can take that as positive or neutral, i don’t mean it as a corny insult. it would be a thing where later you’d share with the group, ‘ya know i get kinda high on myself and think i know everything. and that’s when i take a step back and look in the mirror and recognize i’m only giving advice to myself. and my desire to help someone is my desire to help myself, and be helped by my higher power.’
>>127694483chat i for the life of me cant figure out tzarbombahs void of personality like rn, for a not-nonsensical chord progression i have it mapped out as this but i cant figure out the last chord, im pretty sure it has a B as its root note but if its key is A major i cant think of any chord like that5th fret c shape f5th fret g shape c4th fret e shape g#
>>127698589b flat i meant it didnt fuckin get the flat symbolheres the song for refhttps://youtu.be/OVYvVdbZnu4
what's the cheapest amerishit (jaguar, mustang, caster) that i can buy just to see how the shape feels? I associate these shits with old ahh drug addict niggas like keith richards that made terrible pre-80s "music" the shape isn't coolit looks old and datedit doesn't look ergonomic
>>127698614AmPro Jaguars go for 1200-1300. They're super ergonomic sitting, standing it's only slightly better than a Strat, unless you have one of those heavy ones, then it's worse.
kinda wana get a cheap guitar (used to play bass in a project w friends), what do we think of a second hand pacifica?
>>127698652thats fine
