whats wrong with customs
>>127845720Horrible price/performance ratioIt's a flex on poors, a rich man's flex and not a players' flexhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/9gKePANgs9wIf you have the money for a custom, buy a guitar in the 1500-2000 range and take it to a luthier. Same thing, much cheaper, more playable
>>127845654How much would the Red Special fetch at auction if it ever went up bros? Queen is huge and the fact that it was made in the 60s with teen May and May's dad would make it upwards of 5 mil no?

>>127845869>>127845957https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/WL02721CPBWent on sweetwater, seached a random PRS custom and got this. Sweetwater, just sweetwater has 3 of these. Granted sweetwater is a larger dealer than most, but I guarantee you, 20% of the larger guitar shops over the continent have one of these 'customs'. Far from exclusive and worse than that, low effortWhen you manufacture something in those numbers, even the experienced luthiers are on autopilot mode. I can guarantee you that, regardless of whose signature is under the pickguard of whereever they put itWatch this video from a sloptuber, a $700 tele was in the same pile as a $20000 custom. Guy finally picks a $2000 guitar and the only reason the tele gets disqualified is he didn't want a tele. IT GOT DQ'D CAUSE OF IT'S BODY SHAPE AND NOT ITS SOUND. DON'T FALL FOR THE CUSTOM SHOP J**https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXhE44Sw9r4

So about my question from the last thread- why or why not is 10ft + 5ft +a few pedals in between ok?I have like a 25 ft cord, but I didn't notice anything bad while playing- it's just too long.

>calls himself an intermediate guitarist>still needs a tuner
>>127845807I learned on 11s and haven't tried 9s or 10s. I'm starting to think that I shouldn't keep swapping to 11s as soon as I get a guitar. It just worked out really well with the Epiphone ES-335 Pro and Fender Jaguar I used to own, but I'm thinkin' of trying something new.

how long would it take me to learn piano with little theory knowledge?>But this is the guitar generalI also play guitar
>>127846438ears are more accurate than tuners in many cases, after all the guitar is tuned suboptimally. I always find my guitars to sound better tuned by ear, or what zoomers call "sweetened"
Who here a "can only play intros" kind of guy?
You know what, go right ahead, give your money to fender execs so they can buy their yachts. Not my fucking lossJust don't give bad advice to newbies>>127846472Theory is easy to learn, I highly recommend putting in some hours so it can pay dividends later
>>127846472Idk I play guitar, bass, and drums and can play piano fairly proficiently with zero training but nothing like a classically trained pianist. It's fairly instinctive, until you get into super technical pieces.
>>127846494I think we're all only can play riffs or intros types of guys because unless you're trying to cover the song for a set you kind of lose interest. Like who is going to learn sweet home alabama from front to back unless you're doing it to play it live.
>>127846504>classically trained pianistI don't care about playing Wagner or anything just want to be able to play some songs or come up with a cool melody

>>127847816Because okay
>>127847816>the bleeding low endWhy do guitarists insist on sitting in the frequency range of the bass and kick? Your frequency is mid range with the singer and maybe the keys stay the fuck out of the bass section. The first thing the sound engineer is going to do to your tone is cut all that low end out so the bass can come through.

>be me>have a guitar for more than 12 years>still can't play or sing>tried to learn the Anastasia intro really hard for a month>still can't play it cleanWhen I think I have to concentrate and not fuck it up I always fuck up. My hands and fingers start having a seizure and I can only watch. Even when I'm handwriting or playing guitar. I can't control it, the pressure is too high. Am I genuinely acoustic? PLEASE SEND HELP. https://vocaroo.com/13LAhZsveeLY
>>127848867Beat to hell advice but don't start learning guitar with songs, start with exercises. You don't have the finger strength, independence and coordination to learn songs out the gate and you'll just frustrate yourself, as you're doing nowDo the grunt work now so everything will be easier later
>>127848900Man, I was doing it in school for years with handrwitings. Started slowly: one letter, another one - it didn't help in the end. I still can have a finger seizure when I feel the pressure. It's not that simple. Same happens with my guitar, when I think "it's recording", or "what if someone were listening" or "it's going good I shouldn't fuck up" - I always fuck up.
>>127848946you should try playing in open tuning
>>127848800cheers keep on rocking in the free world dude
>>127848867Work on your dynamics and relaxing, you shouldn't need to press hard on the frets if you have your action set right. I can almost hear you white knuckling the frets and strangling the notes. I can give you some exercise ideas for dynamics.
>>127848954Playing what exactly? I can give it another try and start with basics if it's any difirent from what I've been doing before
>>127848987Please do.
>>127848993And if I don't?
>>127848993Your upstroke should have the same velocity as your downstroke. Dynamics is pretty easy when you break it down, its just more or less wrist into the strum essentially you want to play through and before the string for your maximum pick velocity but it sounds like you already know this one.and for quiet volume feather the pick loosen your grip and minimize movements.then try just playing one note at every possible volume, then try to highlight notes with more volume something like this.https://voca.ro/1dkBWGu4CvZOhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c58ppLPJcQFamously Brian Maye plays with a feather light touch but he uses a heavy coin to pick with so it gives his attack and dynamic that signature sound.
>>127849066Idk man, I'll try to learn another intro or solo, give up, and think I should've bought a synth instead but I won't buy it becase I'm afraid things will be the same
>>127849106What if I can't hear notes is it over for me? I know some people can play a song by ear. I can't.
>>127849106so for the song you are playing in particular the common dynamic is strong weak weak strong if that makes sense.
>>127849111This response is an example of not changing dynamics, yeah? Dynamics exist without choice. Every sound is louder or more quite than any other. So, that means when people say "dynamics", they mean In a chosen way. So, if someone practices very hard on having no dynamics, isn't that dynamics? John Cage would ask if dynamics exist without sound.
i mean play it like a guitar not a synth lolhttps://voca.ro/1cEKRDQVg4HP
>>127849176Very Sartre. Very cool.
idk i can't play it either fuckhttps://voca.ro/19c8Kp5p2R07
>>127849197Bro, I'm literally deaf. What more do you fucking want? Bob Weir and Jimmy Hendrix were jamming backstage at Wood Stock with electric guitars, their instrument. And Paul Simon was present, as well. Thing is, he had his acoustic. They said, "Paul, we dig you but we can't hear you.". Paul Simon said, "you feel it".
>>127848988anything. it's easy to make up your own shit in open tuning and it's really easy to make chord shapes so your finger going retarded isn't a big deal

>>127849449when they hit “Don’t Stop Believin’,” I swear the arena levitated, like not metaphorically, I felt us lift a couple inches off the concrete. People talk about mass hysteria, but this was mass enlightenment with beer foam and Bic lighters.By the time the encore rolled around, my senses were fried like an overcooked egg. My ears were ringing, my eyes were watering, my skin felt like it was vibrating at the frequency of the universe itself. When they walked off stage, I didn’t know who I was anymore. I wasn’t me And the kicker? The guy next to me, the mullet prophet, he looks me dead in the eye and says, “Man… that was pretty good.” PRETTY GOOD?! That was the beginning and end of time condensed into a 2-hour setlist, and this guy’s acting like he just ate an okay sandwich.Anyway, long story short, I still taste the fog machine juice in the back of my throat sometimes, and whenever I hear “Open Arms,” I have to sit down before I collapse into pure nostalgia vapor.

>>127846342Just go straight to 9s for a change.
>>12784886712 years beginner m8 get a good teacher. Someone who will teach you good foundations and undo your bad habits and eventually lead you on to the music you want to play. A face to face teacher will see what you are doing wrong, or maybe even see that there is something wrong with the guitar which you won't get over the internet. IMHO video lessons are only worth it once you're at least intermediate and trying to get into the idiosyncrasies of what your teacher is an expert at.There are brilliant guitarist that are self taught (Govan), and some have received tutelage (Vai, Satriani) but they all were unable to play an F chord once upon a time. You can do it m8, just get a good tutor to show you the way.
>>127850140Why not just let the teacher play instead of wasting his time spinning wheels with total goobers? I have already asked ai the answer, interested in how close your answer will be, lad.

>>127851177welcome to the thread, stick around awhile newfren
>>127850956I like to think about it in other way around. Many people can play guitar better than me, but they're also suck in life as well. Guitar can't really help you in life, many guitar players are poor. Many regret ever learning it. Many have to sing on the streets for a living.The greatest guitar player of ouf generation The Doo became famouse because of shits and giggles on YT, not because of how great he is with guitar. Guitar is an old instrument, people needed it back in the days so they could always have some music with them, today we call it a phone.

>>127852028>could but didn'tpost something else then
>>127846534first song you learned front to back and then performed live?for me it was knights of cydonia to play at a talent show in middle school
>>127846534Not me, I learned like 20 songs this year front to back
>>127852107>could but didn'tNigger I'm not interested in the song, I listened to it and looked up the tab sheet it isn't fucking hard.You're talking about the picking in the intro right?
>>127852131By yourself?Did you sing?solo guitar performance of that would sound like ass
>>127852092High gain amp always

>>127852162post something else I said, let's hear what you can play after 6 months
>>127852213No.
>>127851451The final milestone of your guitar journey is realising what sounds incredible is in fact piss easy to play. It's a double-edged sword because you'll be able to play almost about anything and feel as though you're just not good.Recording yourself regularly helps with a feeling of self-confidence if you have no one to give you feedback.
>>127852131>demolished YYZ at school talent showAnd mooned the audience during the harmonics solo>brought down the house
>>127852243I know a guy who could pick Californication by ear after a months playing guitar. Is he famous now? No.
>>127852131>talent show in middle schoolme and my buddies used to play this a lot when we suckedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TTzLa6sUNsrly good band to be into when you suckso we jumped up on stage at battle of the bands. we werent actually signed up we just lied and said we were some girls backing band and had to get set up. i think we played some songs off nervous breakdown too, before they kicked us off. i dont rly remember
>>127852247I found this for transcribing too. I spent forever learning Dogs by Pink Floyd and worked out the chords in standard, only to find out it’s dropped a whole step and you can finger most chords without the open strings.Same deal with bass. Is Bassically just E pentatonic with one F bend thrown in. It couldn’t be that simple, could it? >also see You Can Call Me All>also tapping solo in Megadeth’s “Take No Prisoners”I just tuned the G string to F# and it’s the easiest thing life that Ellefson never gets right in concert. At least they were live..
I literally don't know what the fuck else to do after this, I got decent at guitar but I can't find any band, I can't write original music, I can't even find people to jam with
>>127852092Yeah high gain amp usually but tweaked with pedals to give a personnal edge, unless you have an absolutely incredible pedal that you need to use.>>127852291Mmmmhm sometimes songs have alternate tunings but in the case of Megadeth I assume he's just fucking wanking it and jorqing it And I mean actually musicians use several instruments so it's also possible there are alternate tunings.I listen to a fuckload of Razor and was shocked when I realised they were tuned several steps down playing straight up mongoloid thrash, and even more shocked when I figured they use different tunings throughout the albums. Making playing by ear just a chore, I don't want 3 different guitars to have stupid fun.So instead I play mostly ever play what's on my mind, and I suffer from impostor syndrome.
>>127852317>buy a synth/midi>write music with it
>>127852317Do you crave attention? Do you dream of being famous?Snap back to reality. Get a job that's adjacent to music maybe, enjoy a comfortable life, find a girlfriend, develop your skills and interests. Don't fucking stress out over it.
>>127852347I just want some people to play with, maybe do a couple small gigs, get a little cash to pay for fuel, is that too much to ask for
>guitar center daily pickdaily dog shit namsayin
>>127852360Yeah that's one in a thousand if not more lolYou're fucking no one bud, you're a random faggot with a guitar. You're one of us.Turn off 4chan, go to your local music school, ask people to play with you. I have several friends into the same music as me, none play instruments. It's so rare it's a miracle when you listen to actual music made by several actual people.
>>127852322>So instead I play mostly ever play what's on my mind, and I suffer from impostor syndrome.I know what you mean but I’ve played with world-class musicians (my friends growing up and from touring), and you can start to hear mistakes and shit. Like Iommi’s pick makes an insane chirping sound that can bug you out (see Symptom of the Universe).As a musician for 30+ years, I just enjoy being able to sculpt sound as I see fit. I prefer busking for this reason. I usually pick a town square and just jam. People stop by and chill - I used to do Gratefuo Dead tunes and Fahey-esque stuff. The best is the hypnotic stuff, where I can do James Blackshaw stuff and help people in like a music therapy way. I once had this dude request me tune after tune to keep him from copping heroin until the methadine clinic opened up. Another time, a car saleswoman chatted up about her day and seduced me. Or, some low IQ seeetheart of a dude would want to sing Steelheart songs (big in NH). When you can do all that, learning Django solos note for note tends to take a backseat.>sad they took out benches and gazebos in Keene, NH)
Is only really doing downstrokes with my pick a bad habit? I rarely do alternate picking>>127852277https://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/slash-anastasia-tab-s90866t1Okay now that I'm looking at it again I can see what's difficult for you.When I made that comment I was only look at the first few bars.My advice to you for what it's worth is to break down what's difficult for you and practice exercises for that.
>>127852360>is that too much to ask fornothats actually rly ez to dojust play gigs, then youll get better, then youll get better gigsits that ez
>>127852449Yeah, there's no way you can build up enough speed or dexterity playing a lot of stuff if you only downpick, and even if you could it'd sound really stiff
>>127852131>>127852283I enjoy Flipper and Mars Volta cover bands.A classmate did a full Andy Kaufman heel standup at the city talent show. He was dropping moon landing conspiracy theory in speech class with point-by-point supporting evidence.

>>127852568>https://vocaroo.com/17G9cu8XymrMMan what I hate about guitars is how this high ring-ding-ding sound just stands out of everything else, how can this be so retarded AND disgusting at the same time. The musc goes on and on and then there's that high fucking CLINK out of noewhere like if someone dropped a fork, this awful odd sound louder and higher than everything else it's so ugly I fucking hate it so much. Pianos are not that stupud, man I want a pino.GUITAR IS SUCH A NSTRUMENTIT'S UNREAL

>>127852617You can Nick Drake roll everything all the way off. There are heavy styles that stay down and distorted. Keyboard is going to give you access to production and midi. It's not as "sexy" of an instrument, but you're not infinitely struggling with the strings doing things you don't like and trying to accomplish the world putting your fingers in knots. Playing stuff you don't know is the key to always suck on any instrument.

BRAP
why does john fogerty look so uncomfortable in the beato interview
>>127852317Go to open mics. This is where serious musicians network and share resources. You basically make a name for yourself. Tip the bartenders well, be good, be supportive even when people bomb, and these people will help you.I joined a band that played CBGBs and L’Amour Rocks that I met at an open mic. We jammed for a few weeks and they had a 5 song setlist. We sucked but still went through the motions until the drummer quit.After that, busking was a way to prove myself and I’d do that right after an open mic (I’d be drunk and amped up). Once you take life by the horns this way, it’s easy to do the next steps. In fact, busking is 10x harder than gigging, so when you play a proper gig, it feels like “that’s it?” I wouldn’t recommend touring, as Walmart doesn’t have overnight parking as common as it used to. The best gigs are small stakes. Believe it or not, old folks homes can be made into a “circuit”. Same deal with libraries and town centers. I accidentally played at Gloucester, MA’s street fair. Farmers Markets are also a good option and lots of hot bitches everywhere.
>>127852686I have one I’m selling on eBay. They are finicky in humidity. Mine cracked open in the back. Selling as is. I made a Fretless guitar and it’s about the same thing with softer strings.

The new switch I ordered fits the control plate, so I don't have to modify the control plate. It moves finicky, not as solidly as the CLR 3-way, which didn't fit the control plate. I freed the pickup, ground and jack wires and prepared it for the new wiring. I am worried that I trimmed the pickup's wire too much and that it won't reach the pots and switch. Extending it would be an option, but I don't think I will make it look aesthetic.The new pots should arrive tomorrow. I'm only replacing them because I fear I might have damaged the old ones from all the soldering work (I couldn't touch them, that's how hot they got). I just hope the new pots fit.I hate waiting so long for the ordered parts to arrive. Every time I fuck something up, I have to wait 3 days to continue working on it. I also had to trim the strings while working on it. Now I have to restring it once I'm done.This is the first time that working on the guitar felt like a chore and not "fun hobby time". Maybe it's because it's my only electric and I haven't been able to play for 2 weeks now.

>>127854600Damn too bad they don't come with a volume knob
>>127854600just lower the humbuckler you dummy
>>127854600capcitor or just lowering the pickup like the other anon said. better yet, run it in parallel.
>>127854663capacitor*
a tele with quarter pounders and a strat middle pickup along with mini toggle switches for reversing polarity is all you need.
that's cute but 2 humbuckers with coil split + parallel switch covers every sound you'd actually need from a guitar but femboys just like the single coil look
>>127854640Not him but there really shouldn't be knobs at all on a guitar.
Should you typically have your pedals closer to your amp, or you? Does it even matter?
an acoustic is all you need. tone is in the fingers, after all
>>127854826split coil humbuckers never sound like real single coils.
>>127854850Depends on if people are stage diving or not
>>127854850When standing, close enough that you don’t need to take a full step forward to step on one. If you’re sitting down put them a little further away to stretch your legs a bit.
Oh, it was a bedroom question.
>>127854851okay can an acoustic sound like ehx big muff
>>127854826Coil spilt almost never sounds good except when used with another single coil to balance the sound out. Parallel though? That's power.
>>127855021
>>127854851>>127854917So is a 6ft cable from the amp to pedals, then a 10ft from pedals to guitar too much? Or should I trade out that 6ft for a 3ft?
