pretty good but if you really want feedback i would add just a bit of movement in the bassline/melody at the parts where you play the same note 4-5 times and don't do the slowdown at the end of the first B part

I like tabbing out elaborate exercises for myself to do in Guitar Pro but I'll get about halfway done and think of a way I could improve it or make it more comprehensive and the workload of just tabbing it out becomes a bit much so I get lazy and let it sit.

Nope, but it could be the fingerpicks I used for the cranky sound. If memory serves me correct, the Sus chords in whole steps starts on the tritone [F if the key is B, so it is F G A (pause) B 12fret harmonics]. Doing an abrupt key change just seemed to make sense because the rest of the song hovers pretty finally with bass motion in call-and-response.

I’ve got like 160 of these, but it’s better to hear everyone’s feedback from the Chads (not Instagram betas)

Good suggestion, I wanted it to gallop and be like those old movie promos. A key change could work if I repeat that B part. These are just sketches, usually in ABA(sometimes C) form. I put them in Instagram because it had a 1-minute limit back in the day and I love The Minutemen/Wire/Mountain Goats/Anal Cunt, so the melodies had to be distinctive enough without any fat the stretch out.

metal is a one trick pony because every single song, every single riff, every single solo, everything, is all played in the same key (E or D if they drop tune) and then transposed to whatever tuning they downtune to. It's all the same.

Oh yeah, there’s plenty of country guitarists out there. I mean, once you get to a certain level of virtuosity, it is just diminished returns. What most of the shredders lack is restraint (Fripp has it), microtonal playing (MacLaughlin), and good songwriting. I mean I love “17th Century Chicken Picking” like any red blooded American, but Buckethead has better tunes (and a tired gimmick).

Same deal with bass players. All Jaco this, Jaco that. But Jaco has about four okay tunes (Teen Town, Portrait of Tracy, Continuum, and Hejira) but the rest is eh. Now, John Wetton - that’s a bass player.

i never understood why the customs were $5000 more expensive just for headstock binding. a lot of these are like 3-4 piece bodies and necks since they can cover them up with solid colors

Spencer is a really cool guy. I’ve met him a few times, he’s been close friends with my best friend’s older half brother since they were in school and whenever Hella was in town we’d go see them and Spencer would hang out with my friend’s family and of course I’d tag along. He’s a great player, even outside of the style of music he plays in Hella

theyre supposed to be solid mahogany bodies, maybe they just change the tops. The necks are one piece (something about the grain going the entire length of the neck (when they mill the timber) and they usually use rosewood for the finger board

watch a Gibson custom shop and Gibson USA factory tour, it’s exactly the same build process the only difference is vintage “correct” specs

im glad they finally put some customs in the standard line but they’re still a bit overpriced imo

oh yeah i don't doubt it. i watched a yairi shop tour and their regular vs custom shop is the same except in a good way. they're all completely hand made except custom shop is made by one dude that's been doing it for 30 years. honestly if randy didn't play a custom i wouldn't care about them all

Jamerson is very good but that Motown music tends to lend it to that type of bass noodling (under arranged).

I think the dude from Nomeansno might be my favorite. Ellefson, too. I tend to like bass that doesn’t sound like bass. The dude from Lightning Bolt has a nice approach.

Percy Jones is better than Jaco for sure - the Brand X stuff is insane. And I guess I can add Tom Fowler and Patrick O’Hearn from Zappa

I'm alternate picking. It's not the picking that is fucking me up so much as it's the weird little chord changes you do and the alternating open d fretted note. It's almost like it's 8 different triads with string skipping alternate picking. And the chords changes aren't exactly like natural feeling or common it's a mind fuck on the left hand and the right. This is my last attempt, I'm done for the night. The rest of the song is like retardedly easy in comparison I don't know why this is tripping me up so much. It's almost like trying to rub your stomach and pat your head at the same time. I know james plays it super slow live and maybe it was just played super slow in the album version and then sped up.

when it really comes down to it metal players only comprise a small proportion of the pantheon of what people could consider "guitar greats," and i think that being an educated musician who can control harmony and play a solo such that you can discern the chord progression in the melody itself is much more impressive, no hate to shred, i still love that kind of music and it's my meat and potatoes on guitar

Forgot sound sample. It should be noted that as ass as I am at building things, I'm even worse at music.
I've never even played a kazoo, so this me just showing how it sounds with a couple of cords I found for 3 string guitars online.

>It’s alternate picking
Found the problem- it’s crosspicking, not AP. The biggest issue is that first string crossing and the LH fingerings, which feature the weak fingers doing a lot of the chord changes.

I can guarantee if you’ve been playing 39 years, you can do this. Chances are you aren’t WARMED UP, so just do this cheat:

Starting on the 17th fret, use just your ring finger and pinky to play two notes, then move up or down the strings until iou reach the 3rd fret.

I’ve got $10 that if you do that three times, you’ll feel those fingers more fatigued and then loose.

I have a hand injury from biking, so I have to warm up all the time. I typically don’t bother if it’s easy stuff, but if I’m gonna do sweep picking or fast alternate picking, it’s essential.

No worries. The motion you need to get into is accurate leaps (ex. The D string to the high e), which is actually two motions - think of it as waving a conductors wand without moving your arm.

You can cheat it and just get in the general vicinity, but pick angle is a must. Also, many guitarists use their pinky as an ANCHOR. Every time I see Hatfield play it, I think he does the same. This makes it easy to judge distances. Stylistically, I don’t use an anchor cause I’m not a bitch but it gives you an airy quality.

Practice it this way:
Hold each chord pattern and experiment with the right hand. Aim for accuracy and see if you can make the sound blur or get concise.

Last, the type of pick you use matters for crosspicking. See what you like. Crosspicking doesn’t have to be accurate because the sound tends to bleed together. The Call of Cthulhu has a lot of inner chord movement and anchoring, so that’s another challenging- barring and anchoring. Tackle that by just stretching your hands in smaller positions and then go as wide as you can. Your fingers will feel like spiders that fingerbang the missus when she brought home the Bells Banana Beer I casually mentioned.

I’m really thinking about buying a body blank routed for Tele controls and cutting it into the shape of a Dano 59. Basically a regular Tele but looking like a short horn Danelectro style body. Warmoth makes a neck they call the Snakehead that looks pretty goofy but I think would look the part with a Dano style body. I don’t need another Tele but I’ve wanted a Dano 59 forever but don’t like the cheap plywood and essentially cardboard construction so some kind of solid body Dano would be cool even if it’s got Tele hardware instead of standard Dano lipsticks

Can someone with a good ear help me out? Been learning this song and at the end of the solo there's this three note per string run starting on A and going up. Now, all the tab guys on YT are tabbing it like 10-11-13 on A and D for the first two lines but I've found this isolated track and I swear my ear is telling me it's 8-10-11 for those two. I'm even more convinced it goes that way because the runs on the G and B are octaves of those two. But yeah, I just need to know if I'm right or deluded.

>>127819226
If I could be a constellation from Bocchi. I honestly listened to it a bunch and played it both ways but I just can't hear those 13th frets in those first two runs. I have a decent ear, I've been using it a lot lately but I really have no idea if I'm overestimating it.

I will say, I've seen several tab vids for that song and I can say for sure they tabbed certain things wrong so it might be the case with this part also but I just can't say for sure.

Well now I'm inclined to agree with you. The clip starts out with some kind of Bb harmonic or overtone playing so maybe that's what threw me off the trail, but the actual notes slowed down sound like what you described. Although personally I would try to play it:
A string: 8 10 11
D string: 8 10 11
G string: 10
B string: 8 9 11
e string: 8 9 11

But that's just me.

https://voca.ro/14FnXliC1wm7
>>
>>127818926
Go with what makes harmonic sense. If you can’t really tell up to speed, what makes you think a listener won’t think it’s intentional? 8th fret in A & D for all strings is: C F Bb Eb G F [ascending]. Very minor sounding. A half tin either direction is majorish

>>127818926
I've got 5-6-8 on two strings, 6-8-9, 8-9-11-11 on the E
>>
>>127819506
Wow those are some clean sounding notes. I've mainly just slowed it down with YT player which distorts the hell out of them but yeah, with your clip I'm even more convinced it starts on the 8th.

That's an interesting way of playing it too. I do prefer going three notes per string cause I get to keep the 1-3-4 finger shape and even then I'm still struggling a little while standing.

Also thanks for taking the time, know I know for sure what I need to play.

>>127819524
Anon above helped out with the slow mo. Honestly if going with making sense I'd also go with 8-10-11 because the third and fourth run are the octaves of the first and second. And the guy used octave playing in other parts of the song.

>>127819539
Yeah that's basically the 10-11-13 on the A but thanks to the anon above I can say for sure it starts on the 8th. I just never heard those A# and D# notes at the end of the first and second run.

It's probably not as bad as you think. Then it becomes ok to play an instrument rough because it's a beater. Then you fix all the minor quality issues or maybe add the pickups you want.

If you're not self-sufficient, buy an epiphone. If money is no issue, buy your custom Gibson. Poorfag gear is really competitive. It can't just rely on a logo and boomers unloading money.

This will be my next guitar. Unless I cave and get a Classic Vibe. I really like this one though. The arm contour alone is making me want it bad. 22 frets and pickups in series is a big bonus too. The colors are also really nice. I'm leaning to this purple one cause it looks sick and has got a rosewood board with binding but there's also a sexy red with a maple boRst. Ah. I really like this one. It's almost twice the CV cost though. But I think it's definitely worth it. Ill just need to be a little more patient. Also it's chambered and there's tons of drilled out space already under the pickguard for an extra pickup and a bunch of electronics shenanigans. Probably a lot later down the line for though. Anyway It's a really good looking guitar.
>>
I wonder just how loud Blackmore was in his heyday. He cranked Marshall Majors which are 200 fucking watts and had the biggest Strat sound anyone has ever heard.
But Frusciante plays the same Major precisely because he can maintain the headroom for a clean tone on it compared to a Super Lead.

Complete songwriting newfag here. What limitations to composition does stop tuning impose rather than standard tuning shifted down? I know intervals are lost with drop tuning. What else?
>>
>>127823242
You lose things, but you also gain others. Don't think about it too much. Just noodle around and you'll find some sweet spot for a riff. Just don't limit to chugging, which is easy to get caught up in with a drop tuning.
>>
>>127823242
Drop D is basically useful for chugging in D minor
You lose most of the open chords but now you can play a D powerchord over five strings (D, A, D, A, D, x), if you have long fingers then over six strings (D, A, D, A, D, A)
>>
>>127823242
like other guy said you lose some chord shapes but gain others. drop tuning is really good for playing chord inversions in whatever key you dropped to, which you can change with a capo. a good example is dan tyminskys man of constant sorrow which is in drop D but capod to F. there's a lot of strum embellishments going on with cross picking. you could definitely do this in standard tuning but it becomes "effortless" in drop D
>>
Eddie was one of the first to commonly use Drop D in hard rock, but it was still just Eddie. Unchained is a bit chuggy, but he showed you could do so much more with it even back then. I blame Grunge for just using it for a lot of chugging.

Yeah definitely. Also got a satin neck which I forgot to mention. Looking at long term, it's definitely gonna be a better guitar. Really, that arm contour is what's getting me into it the most. I've got a Benton Tele that doesn't have it and I'm really missing it whenever I'm playing standing. I'm kinda getting used to it but I'm definitely going to strip the paint, sand off the contour and repaint it so getting a CV feels like taking a step back since it doesn't have it either.

With the price tag I imagine they definitely should be better. I like the purple one honestly, I think I'd like the green one more though but it seems they stopped making those though. Red ones are super hot too though. I'd be missing the binding but I do love the look of a maple board though.

>>127823517
Yeah I'm kinda iffy on the radius. It's not the really vintage 7 something one but I never played anything below 12 inch so I'm not sure how that would feel. I don't really mind the neck heel and the CV does have the truss rod adjuster at the headstock, plus I would get the compensated saddles if beed be. But I do really lean towards the Schecter. That price tag does open the Player Fender window but I'm not really sure if those are worth it in comparison. The lack of an arm contour is a big thing for me honestly. They do have that Tele look with the headstock and all, plus the six saddles but they do come a little more pricey I think.

Yeah I'd never go for the 7.25. Just seems like an unnecessary handicap. CVs do have a 9.5 radius though. I'd still more likely go for the Schecter I think. The arm contour plus satin neck, an extra fret and pickups in series is really selling it for me, even if it's almost double the price.

On paper I hated 7.25” until I actually played one and realized I really like how comfy it is. 9.5” is probably my favorite, only because it’s what I’m most used to, but I really enjoy the 7.25”s I’ve picked up.

the india they visited was entirely different.

environment is significantly more polluted, with widescale deforestation, industrial waste release, human and animal waste release and litter everywhere.
