>>127877550Is the JC-22 good too?
>how it started
>>127877561Yeah, but 12" speakers still make a huge difference, whatever the amp. Even at lower volumes.
>>127877670pretty clean
>>127877670>how i ended upI started so well by wiring up the hot wires. Once I had to ground stuff to the pots, everything went down the drain. I have this huge blob of shit, but it seems to work. The new switch works, sound isn't cutting out when moving it.I'm not sure about the new pots. It says they're logarithmic, but as soon as I turn the volume one a bit, the volume drops significantly and it feels like only the first 10% do anything. The tone knob cuts the highs well though. They're also harder to turn, which I kinda like.I reused the capacitors, despite ordering new ones with the same values. I didn't want to wait for them to arrive. I doubt the new ones would have made any difference.One of the pickups had a wire that was too short and couldn't reach the pot for grounding. I had to extend it, but I didn't consider that I'd need to shield it because it was dangerously close to the switch. I didn't have heat shrink, so I wrapped it with some scotch tape. I don't know if that was a wise choice.>>127877722... clean until I wired the pickups and jack.
>>127877755They honestly need to add a lug to the back of guitar pots. Welding solder to a smooth heat sink is silly.
Nothing like a 1x12 speaker cab optimized for the guitars range.
>>127877790Alternatively, star ground. We're creating unnecessary ground loops.
>>127877790steel wool or scotch brite pad, thank me later
>>127877825I the spot with whatever sand paper is handy. That doesn't change the fact the wires often flex as the solder cools and can compromise the joints. Lugs give you mechanical advantage.
i'm feeling pretty demotivated about guitar. i've only been playing about 3-4 months and can play simple 4 chord songs and do some walking and alternating bass lines but my picking technique has seemed to cap out around 90 bpm 16th notes. i can pick a single string at 140 bpm 16th notes but i have problems going over the top of strings and getting hung up on the E and A strings. anchoring with a pinky feels unnatural to me and i have brief glimpses of it working when i practice at night before i go to bed, but the following day i can't seem to hold the guitar or the pick right for it to work again. what do?
>>127877949I've been a slowpoke all my life. It just wasn't in the cards for me. lolAt least half of my favorite players weren't speed demons either. So whatever. That makes me feel better.
Wow soldering is hard. Good thing I have a No-Solder Strat kit coming in soon.
>>127878009everything is hard when you don't have the right tools. need a good iron with the right tip and good quality solder wire
>>127878043Yeah but I also heard there's lead in good solder wire.
>>127877949What song requires you to play faster than that?
>>127878095With enough heat you can weld anything.
>>127878098bluegrass. it's mostly played at 110-120 at jams. i'd probably not be struggling if i was allowed to use more economy picking and an electric with lighter gauge strings
>>127878147Is your guitar action pretty good? It makes all the difference on an acoustic.
>>127878095Just get a fume extractor/splice a pc fan into a 12v power supply and aim it towards an open window
Speaking of cards, I like picking that sounds like a baseball card slapping bicycle spokes.https://youtu.be/sRZL0U_tf2s?t=202
>>127878180yes i set it up. my issue is in the picking hand. a floating technique works better for me but i struggle with the E and A strings, i don't have stability to get through the string without my hand deflecting too much. seems like no matter how much i practice i don't get any better at it.
If I try to pick fast, I'm constantly hitting the pick guard, which counts as "bad technique" I guess
>>127878333depends on the style
>finally got the jstrat and the baritone sg out of pawn after months of languishing in storagefeelsgoodman >>127877949God bless youYoull get there
>>127878759thanks man. i think i need to just stop pushing the speed problem and just get wherever i am at incredibly clean and precise >baritone sgthat sounds pretty cool
>>127878798its all about being articulate regardless of how fast you play a slow and articulate player>fast sloppy playerevery time >pretty coolyeah, im lucky to of gotten one at the bottom of the market, they run for 3k easy these days its the semi official buckethead version of an SG, made for like 8 months between 2013 and 2014mine even has “BH-SG” written underneath the pickups >pic rel
>>127878874That’s a fucking hoss of a guitar.
>practicing for 10 minutes everyday is better than practicing for 3 hours once a weekIs it true?
>>127878874>ebony board with no inlays
>>127878909yes
>>127878925>ebonyrichlite*
>>127878909doubt it
>>127878247Many ways to skin a cat, though with picking they will sound slightly different. There will be something that clicks for you. Allan Holdsworth and Brett Garsed exist, they barely pick their fast shit. Check out Frank Gambale for economy picking if you can't alternate. BTW Steve Morse an absolute alternate picking freak of nature injured his picking hand over time due to the way he strained his wrist. Sample size of 1 but it goes to show that even if something works well for you it may be deletirious in the long run. Troy Grady on YT is a good resource for different picking methods.
>>127878977i won't tell if you don't
>>127878908the only reason Gibson stopped making them is because Bucket is legitimately a schizophrenic psycho who decided at the height of his popularity to couchsurf across america and be impossible to get ahold of for like 4 years instead of reap the rewards of his fameeven gibson recognizes how spectacular these instruments are, they have them hung up in the halls of their custom shop along side other pieces like the Clapton cut explorer and the red eye Les Paul Im apt to agree with their assessment, this SG is the most resonant instrument I’ve ever played that was intended to be plugged up
>>127879015thanks for the insight. i signed up for troy's course the other day, waiting on the magnet thing to arrive so i can film a video for them. i'll check these people out
>>127879032Dont tell me no lies
Offset niggas look like this and player guitars that look like this and expect to be taken seriously
>>127879142does the explorer count as an offset
>>127879142this really feels like a false flag
>>127879142https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSH32VUJCk4
>>127879142>offset players look dressed to impress and heteronormal
>>127879034>Bucket is legitimately a schizophrenic psycho who decided at the height of his popularity to couchsurf across america and be impossible to get ahold of for like 4 yearsBased and relatable
>>127879221I'm spiritually an offset player and this sentence was so gay I installed a trans tem
>>127879188No but I think it should so I can finally pick a side
>>127879221>heteronormalonly fags speak like this, unironically
it's fa/gg/s tyvm
LOL, these were $15,000 new just a couple of months ago and now this Jew wants over 100khttps://reverb.com/item/91924423-gibson-noel-gallagher-les-paul-standard-live-25-murphy-lab-2025-ebony-murphy-lab-light-aged
>>127879267we invented that word before fags ever used it
>>127879236He still does it desu he’s so retarded
>>127879339>israel
>>127879369Dude wears a KFC bucket with "funeral" written on it, a Halloween mask, only speaks through hand puppets, is obsessed with literal chickens, and people expect him to act normal? He told gibson to make his signature les paul, a guitar that is iconic in large part due to its scale length, a fucking baritone with arcade button killswitches lmao. He's always been pure chaos, that's what makes him buckethead. He trolled GNR until they couldn't handle it anymore because he doesn't care, he just wants to shred to a backing track. Just enjoy the show, this is what a legitimate musical genius looks like.
>gettin off work>headin home>gonna play guitar for the next 3-5 hours he’ll yeah brother
>>127879459let's gooooo
Bump lets gooooooo
Very pleased with how this has turned out so far.
>>127879567You could have done this in one day if you didn't stop every 5 seconds to take a new photo
>>127879567looks pretty solid from the photonice
>>127879574>>127879574I work full time and took a two separate week long vacations to shoot guns and ride motorcycles throughout the process, plus I messed up my first attempt. I’m glad I took my time with it, I’ve enjoyed it.
I kinda miss my Ibanez GSA60, it felt different to any other Ibanez I’ve tried. The neck was kinda like a fat strat C shape
So uh whats up with offset guy. Is he like y'know.....
>>127879579>>127879611Dude, this looks official. Well done.
let’s all take turns just making sure that we can all live up to the hope that jenny can shred out for us, eh? https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=E5PXYehriYY&si=je_DDf_G8gNAyFfb
jumpin jack flash, shot down in flames and used to love her are the 3 songs i gotta learn. shot down in flames is the only one im confident about so far. also classic rock is pretty boring. guy told me thats just what they warm up with but i also told him im not an ear player yet but hes okay with that. seems like most muscians dont really care about your skill level. they just wanna play if you also feel like it.
>>127879871Thank you
Jenny told me i should respect the head so this is where i am God bless that man https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=E5PXYehriYY&si=je_DDf_G8gNAyFfb
>>127879926jumpin jack is easy. Keith did it in Open D, I think.. but you can do it in Standard. B, E, A. Just ring out full barres in the intro at least. The production has always been the coolest thing about it. It sounds like a distorted acoustic.
>>127880027Ah I just relistened to it. It doesn't start in A, but B flat.
>>127880027i tried playing jumpin jack. its not a very hard one but classic rock doesnt really appeal to me. ive always leaned more into experimental weird shit.
>>127880385You could say classic rock were experimental in their own right. A lot of their techniques hadn't been tried before, so they experimented before anyone. lol.No one ever covers Stones psyche period. I think it was cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U6jozhS7hE
>>127877949I can't even do 90bpm 16ths, been playing for almost a yearSpeed isn't everything, not even close
>>127880412now this is a good song. i had no idea they made music like this cause i never really looked into stones.
>>127878095>>127878193Do solders really go over 1750C? I doubt they're vaporizing lead
>>127880441it's the tin and rosin fumes that are bad for you, the lead can't freely vaporize unless it's in an oxide form. that aside, you will get a small amount of lead dust from spatter and any clean up/solder removal processes
>>127880440Brian Jones was the experimental guy, so when he died, Keith just did what he was good at (blues rock) and the band leaned more into that direction. It was still cool, but different.
>>127880426I've been forced to learn some techniques for the repertoire and if you have to do them, you do them. Triple tapping notes and turning dotted 8/16ths into 5 notes is the least of it. It is possible, but you have to have a reason to and both of those are basic in what I'm working on.
>>127880426true id rather play cleanly and dynamically than fast but the curriculum on the course has the backing tracks go up to 115 bpm from 70 in the basic course so i have no idea where i should be placement wise. he takes the melody or the lead part and truncates it or removes some of the rhythmic density which is nice and does the same song for intermediate and advanced each with an expected starting tempo and difficulty. i suppose you could look at it the other way and come back to play the basic courses faster if you're intermediate or advanced

>>127879142Niggas look like this and be like, "Alright, where the arthoes at?"
>>127879142That's fucking Roy Clark. He ripped.There'd be no John 5 without Roy Clark. He practically worshipped him.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGC1ytmiKj4
>>127880441My Weller maxes out around 800
>>127880829It's basically blackened post punk. There's a lot of older and current material in the vein that you'd probably line up with.
>>127881046Any examples? I'm always in the mood for new stuff
>>127877949>my picking technique has seemed to cap out around 90 bpm 16th notesuse a thinner pick for awhile.t. 28 years
hey offset owners does your boyfriend like your guitar?
Finally putting my Strat back together. Which looks better? Top or bottom?
>>127881340if you have to ask, you're a bottom.
>MIA vs MIJFuck lil ochikawa gon do
>>127881340they forgot to paint your guitar anon i'd send it back
>>127881340bottom with different body color
>>127881340if your finish is actually darker go with cream. otherwise do tortoise
>>127881340White guard.
>>127881340Anodized gold
god damn... you smelling this
>>127881586>>127881716>>127881735You motherfuckers need to learn to follow instructions
Today we played just the three of us - the guitar player, the singer, and me, the flutist. Our guitar player got high and couldn't keep rhythm so we totally screwed up our show.
>>127881753lol
>>127881745its like a blend of patchouli unwashed ass and shoe polish
>>127881340top
>>127881752what instructions were those

CHOKE ON A TURDFROM A BIRD
some of these early r.e.m albums have my favourite guitar riffs, if only I could make out the notes they're playing
>>127881752top
r u in-tune right now?
>>127881340Top, tort with maple doesn’t look nearly as good as tort with rosewood. Black and maple is peak
Folky fingerpickers, you should listen to this album. Jimmy Page even ripped off some of his later stuffThis is my favorite track from the first albumhttps://youtu.be/8VC-z3amU90?si=Lw5VsLOqe8s8fBhM
>>127881963yeah I'm in EAWERFUIODHFVGODYUF
>>127882045>>127882142wrong reply
What is the quacky tones that you guys told me about when I asked about the different pickup position. You guys told me the middle position is like a meme, the bridge position is for overdriven sounds, the neck position is clean and crystal clear, but what about the 2 and 4 position? Is that where the quacky soudns come from? From position 2 and 4? What is the opposite of mudness in a mix, fizzyness?
>>127882222middle pickup is the dankest for cleans
>>127882222probably presence is the opposite. out of phase which is 2 and 4 on strat is kind of like boise cancellation and it thins the tone and brings out the mids which makes that quack sound
>>127882222sorry bright would be the opposite
I thought this was JourneyTell me this doesn't sound like Journeyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ltKNE5j50M
>>127882222The 2 and 4 position sounds are a result of the middle pickups closer distance to the other two, as opposed to guitars with only neck and bridge pickups. They're running in-phase, in parallel, and practically every strat made today has the middle reverse wound to cancel hum.
