What’s the deal with cover bands?They’re not the band… but they’re also not not the band.It’s like musical cosplayyou’re dressed as Aerosmith, but your name is Aero-ish.And people go crazy!“Play Free Bird!”You realize these guys aren’t allowed to play Free Bird… right?They’re basically musical babysitters.They tuck you in with the classics while the real band’s out making new songs you don’t want to hear.And the names oh, the names!“Almost Zeppelin,” “Not Quite Nirvana.”At least be honest!Call yourselves “The Discounts.”
It was 1 a.m. in the Burger King parking lot, neon sign buzzing like a dying firefly. Mountain had dragged out a little amp from the back of his rig, uke slung low on his shoulder. His eyes were red, face wet man was crying heavy, not a sniffle, but full-bodied sobs that shook his chest.Gary Greaser was there too, perched on the hood of his old Chevy, leather jacket shining under the flickering light. He had a cigarette dangling, hands cupped around the flame like it was holy.“Mountain, pal… you sure you’re good to play?” Gary asked, voice somewhere between concern and disbelief.Mountain didn’t answer with words. He just strummed a shaky, off-kilter rendition of “Wonderwall.” The uke buzzed, strings jangling like rusted windchimes. Every chord cracked in half from the tears dripping onto the fretboard.Gary lit another smoke, shaking his head. “You’re killin’ me, kiddo. Cryin’ over a uke in a Burger King lot… this is the saddest set I ever seen.”But Mountain just kept going, voice breaking, half-singing half-sobbing:“And after alllll, you’re my wonderwaaaall…” A group of kids in lowered Civics rolled by, slowed down just long enough to honk and yell “Play Freebird!” Mountain lifted his uke like a weapon and shouted through his tears, “FREEBIRD’S FOR CLOWNS, BUCKO!” before collapsing back into his ballad.Gary clapped, slow and sarcastic. “Encore, champ. You’re a regular Elvis in a puddle of saltwater.”By the end, the Whopper wrappers scattered at his feet looked like little gravestones. The parking lot was empty except for Mountain, Gary, and the buzzing neon crown above them.It wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t tight. But it was a set.And at 1 a.m. outside Burger King, it was legendary.

Jazzmaster is a problematic and racist name for a guitar. jazz was invented by Black americans and master gives slavery connotations.

>>127758782I started creating backing tracks for songs that I like. My collection is also up to 40ish songs now and it's impossible to memorize them all. I also keep a tab next to it, so I actually have to "review" a song before playing it.>>127758792I have written and recorded 10 songs in the past year. I don't remember how to play any of them anymore. That made me wonder how actual artists remember their stuff, but I guess they play it almost daily, so it's harder to forget.I also keep tabs of everything I write inside my project files for that reason. There are some sketches and ideas in there where I didn't include tabs and now I don't remember how to play it anymore. Once I had to painfully transcribe my own solo because I didn't write it down and I don't think I transcribed it correctly (I'm still kind of a beginner).

>>127759178This looks pretty good though, I'd change the covers to orange or white as well
>>127759133its not actually aimed at homos and troons, its aimed at the "so wholesome" twittoid crowd that are straight but put those groups on a pedestal. thats a much larger group for Gibson to siphon money from (which will be used to fund based activities). an excellent move in the long term.

How do I keep my strumming hand moving? I'm focusing more on when I'm strumming rather than keeping a consistent movement
>>127759512you need to strip back whatever you're doing to muted strums or a single note drill. isolate the movement and work on it, don't worry about the other shit until you can stay moving
you could make some easy money turning these shitty kramer strats into EVH frankies using cheap chinese parts.

Best guitar if I want to experiment with different tunings? Baritone? 7 string? Variax?
>>127760779>J90C with charvel coverBased. I love that pickup and wish I had more.
>>127761489Something with a 1 piece maple neck
>>127761489Depends on the tunings. There's some that would require a whole new nut to work properly but you're gay if you use those.
>>127761489Any normal guitar with a hard tail, you can use any goofy tuning you want simply by buying different appropriate string gauges
ohhh nice new fendershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtzfWhMbxoI
>>127761592erm but what if i want to dramatically change it and keep string tension + no intonation issues.
>>127761687Then you're out of fucking luck because no guitar in the world lets you go from E standard to drop A simply by turning the pegs

>>127761395I adore Warwicks and have a 90s german one, you did well. EMG just came out with new pickups that are the exact size as those on Soundgear basses, so if you gel with the bass and wish for a bit better sound down the line, there are options and its solderless too.

>>127762346I heard you can tell by licking it
>>127762346if you file off a small amount and snort it you should be able to tell the difference
>>127762346look at it from the side and see if you can see the marrow. might have to file a bit off first they usually patch it
hmmm what should I offer??
>>127762546I've seen sythetic ones copying the look of real bone too. Also i don't want to file it just to tell by smell if it's bone or not. Thinking of putting thicker srings on so maybe i have to file it anyways though.

>>127762878they would still need to pay tariffs on the material crossing the border. given, they could valuate that much lower, as unfinished goods, but it's still cheaper to not pay some retarded obese americans to bungle your fungle scrungler
>>127762862I paid $500 for my MIM blacktop strat and $800 for my MIM classic 70s. these current prices are insane

>>127762953I still use the same thin plain black leather strap i got with my first electric guitar almost 20 years ago.
>>127763048>forgot it at some gigBummer. I have a routine of releasing the strap locks, holding the strap in my left hand while putting the guitar in its case with my right, folding the strap in half twice, and throwing it in the storage compartment. I've worn straps out but I've yet to lose one.
i play sitting down. if the audience can't handle that, they'll have to stop coming to my shows

>>127764118The Jazzmaster looks the best, simple maple neck with plain maple headstock looks the best with fiesta red.
>>127762953I've been using Minotaur straps for years; they're well made and affordable. I use a wider variant on my neckdive basses.

>>127764465MIM = try before you buy, imo. I've tried a few shitplanks, but I also own 2 excellent MIM basses that easily match the American made ones quality wise (and the 'Murican Fenders are probably QC'd by Mexicans anyway lmao).
>>127764413I think rosewood looks better with unpainted headstock
Without realizing, I ordered 20 E1 strings
>>127764508i agree but really hard to know how stable the neck is going to be in the store unfortunately

>>127764619>>127764643even if it was real rosewood it would look better to me unpainted. a real fender would use rosewood, but for some reason they stopped doing block inlays on anything but maple (looks like shit)
>>127764934Alexi Laiho signatures 11-50
>>127764934>ernie ball 9s>c standardOof. 25.5" scale length I'm assuming?
>>127764934You will need at least 12s for that. Maybe less if you just want to play doom, stoner or sludge. Pretty sure you will have to file the nut for those though. Personally i use 14s on a Fender scale for B standard.

>>127765885sorry, ik ben moerasaap
Recently picked up bass. How do I practice scales?
>>127765873unfortunately not, though i think those inlays are a little plain or too big in the case of the solar. i really like the kumiki side markers, the yamaha tuning forks, or the martin snowflakes personally. if i had to choose
>>127765752https://youtu.be/NzEemp1SLOM
for me it's the fingernail trimming inlays
>>127766080You just reminded me I had an SG with those. Only Gibson I've owned..It was one of the first Gibsons that was pretty cheap and not a student model. I guess that's common now.
>>127765919Try just walking bass lines first. Easy to hear it in blues and follow. You'll be gliding around and improvising in no time.
>>127764165I have some bad news for you lol. I might fuck it up yet, so worst case it will go back to natural with nitro laquer and a water slide decal. Best case it matches my other three. I got the shade nearly perfect, Colortone’s fiesta red was a bit bright so I laid it on top of their darker hot rod red. These modern FR are a lot darker than they used to be, my lightest is the MG73 Mustang and that’s still a 2012.
>>127766291You shouldn’t mask the fretboard and just have an entire fiesta red neck
>>127766291>These modern FR are a lot darker than they used to beI like whatever Fender is using, whatever that is. Unfortunately I don't have any FR guitars anymore.
>can't tune complete by ear yet >can get to within a quarter step by the tension on the string
>>127766213I don't even like sg's but I want one with the crescent inlays like you wouldn't believe. The V that came with them just doesn't do it for me.
I have a pau ferro and it sounds great ok. Just give it a chance.
>>127766459It feels great. I don't know about sound. I don't like the look, but there are good examples of nice looking PF. It just takes time to find it.
strings for acoustics, GO
>>127766313Same honestly. I don’t mine the more orangish shade, but the modern one just looks better in direct light IMO.>>127766310I’m fully expecting to have to sand some off the back and sides of the headstock. That same tape has been on through two attempts. Probably should have removed it after sanding off the first attempt.
>>127766521Curt Mangan Monel
>>127766459It sounds find but looks like liquid shit and gets dry as fuck super quickly in my experience.
>>127764227what the heck is a maple cap neck?
>>127766521daddario xt phosphor bronze for most guitars. if you have a really stuffy guitar like a martin i'd use daddario nickel bronze strings with a pointed tip pick to brighten it up. silk and steels for fingerpicking
>>127766521Martin Lifespan
>>127766557Instead of a 1 piece neck you get a maple neck + maple board
>>127766594...isn't that just a standard 2 pieces neck? I find it hard to believe only custom shop fenders had them
>>127766540It looks like wood dude. Why was shit the first thing you imagined.
>>127766557>>127766594I think the story is that after the transition to Rosewood after the 50s, Fender stopped making maple one piece necks for awhile. Then they reintroduced maple for those who wanted it. Except they used the maple neck blanks meant for rosewood fretboards and put a maple cap on maple neck for awhile. It's kind of funny, but they're prized for being strange. Probably some even thought there was some mojo to it since Jimi played a lot of these late 60s maple cap Strats...so Fender is now compelled to issue stuff like that now rather than forgetting them in the dustbin of history.
>>127766614nta but it's an objectively ugly wood for fretboards
>>127766630I've seen good ones. The people cranking them out just don't care to cut it for that. I think a lot of Suhr guitars are pretty uniform PF. Fender can do it too, but they don't bother on their cheaper models. Like the SRV Strat has always been Pau Ferro and very few of them look wacky. Picrel is Pau Ferro, but you wouldn't know it at first glance.
>>127766630Not at all, it's a beautiful and in-demand wood.
>>127766680It's hardly as bad as some of the shit they throw on bespoke metaltard crap but it still looks overwrought and out of place.

>>127766629This, it’s just a thing Fender did after they swapped to rosewood boards. Everything went to rosewood in 1959, prior to 1959 their necks were one piece maple with a rosewood skunk stripe on the back to cover the rout for the truss rod. After they went to rosewood the they routed the neck for the truss rod under the fretboard and covered it with the actual rosewood board. In the early 1960s people wanted maple boards again but the old tooling was gone so they made the necks the same way they made their rosewood board necks but instead used a maple fretboard instead of rosewood, hence maple cap instead of a rosewood cap or a one piece maple neck. Maple cap necks are snappier and brighter than older one piece maple necks and are popular with country Telecaster players. Fender went back to one piece maple necks in 1969 but those guitars from ‘59 to ‘69 with maple caps remained popular with certain Tele players, and haven’t been a regular production thing for decades until these ($1600 (one thousand six hundred dollars) (yikes) MIM (Made in Mexico) (yikes)) guitars outside of small batches or limited runs
>>127766851I didn't know they were snappier.My Strat has a rosewood "laminated" board of the mid-60s, rather than the Rosewood thicker slab of the early 60s. So there were strange stages of Rosewood too. No skunk stripe. I'm not sure if it's suppose to sound different but I like it.
>>127766235I'll give that a try. Are practicing scales just to know the notes on your fret board and have the muscle memory of jumping to different intervals?
>>127766884I don’t really think it makes that much of a difference sound wise, maple Teles are still plenty snappy regardless of neck construction. Some guys really seek out maple cap Teles though, that’s all Brad Paisley has ever used are late 60s maple cap Teles. I just thought it was cool that Fender brought these out for this Vintera series until I saw the price
