Gay Loser guitars
No it stands for Guys & Lads
>gay & lame
K-pop tried to defile /gg/but they failed as they were stricken to the groundhttps://voca.ro/1dMUP96jUonI
G&L sounds more like a sauce and condiment buisness instead of one that sells guitars
>>127937763Jerry Seinfeld everyone
>>127937767I don't get it
What’s the deal with G&L guitars?They’re supposed to be the evolution of Fenderbetter hardware, hotter pickups, improved bridges…and yet, everyone still goes, “Yeah, but does it say Fender on the headstock?”It’s like ordering a steak from the guy who invented steakand people saying, “Eh, I’ll stick with the hamburger.”And the resale value? Forget it!You buy one new, you take it home, it loses half its worth just from opening the case!It’s like driving a car off the lot… if the car was invisible and nobody believed it existed.

Why did little Timmy choose to play guitar?It was the only one he got to pick.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcYppAs6ZdI
>>127937859that would be a good business STRATergy, you buy a guitar and get a whatever steak(dry aged) you like for free
>meatwater guitars
>>127937859They don't want to say it but he's right.
>>127937593i can't afforf g&l either
Do people still use amps?
What's /gg/'s guitar amp of choice?
had a dumb idea, what if you put a pickup on the opposite side of the strings, right across from each other? could only do it in the neck position so it doesn't interfere with picking as much. i guess the easiest way would be to take a cheap strat with a middle pickup, take that one out and insert it into a u-shaped holding bracket screwed intothe body as in pic related. I wonder what would happen, if it'd sound any different in a good way.
gibson neck with ibanez body...SG?
>>127938072I own a Katana ii and a Marshall Origin.
>>127937859I laughed
>>127938011True, I got a decent Mexican made strat last year, For G&L they feel more American or nothing.
>>127938092I use plugins
>>127938092Katana
>>127938102>gibson neck with ibanez bodyLiterally the opposite of what I would want in a guitar.
When I visited Crete I bought a baglamas like pic relatedimo it sounds incredible and you would not think how loud it can be for being this smalland it has an easily retarded DAD tuning so you can strum whatever you want and it sounds good
>>127938361looks like a uke for hipsters
>>127938360i only play sitting and hunched, ibanez body is thin and hugs the titLP is hurting my BAA--
Is it true that the old method of building speed and accuracy by practicing slowly and gradually increasing the tempo is outdated and that you should be start as fast as possible?
Let me guess, you needed more?
>>127938821What’s the appeal of this? Why not get a real Gibson and not some Chinese knock off
>>127938860shitty bait

Player 2 Jaguar, it’s pretty gud
>>127938102>claims the wood has magic tonal properties >cuts a bunch of random holes into the wood
>>127939253That's because all the actual light mahogany gets given straight to the custom shop, leaving the heavy woods to the production line peseants.

I do believe in Ibanez supremacy.
Amps make no sense unless you’re playing stadiums or huge clubs

>>127939627Only losers and dads pay for their own amps. I don't even own one. Just use whats at the venue.

Are the old Alfred's basic guitar method books volumes 4 through 6 good to go through after the updated volumes 1 -3?
My first ever practice amp still works. I got it with the guitar back in 1997
>>127937593>https://www.therandomscalemachine.com/index.htmlHow does this website work? Can I plug in my guitar to my computer so that everytime I play the right note it goes to the next note?
>>127939919You can, they just don't spin evenly. Most of the change happens in the first 20% like a Fender Hot Rod.
Is it better to memorize scale shapes or memorize the intervals/notes then memorize the fretboard and note relationships?
>>127937593>"Why didn’t you buy a G&L?" editionEnough with the fear porn. G&Ls won't magically vapourize when the company closes. Just get a used one.
>>127940696I think it's better to remember the intervals/relations to notes, but learn the basic triad chords first, as this can help with shell voicings
>>127940878>Just get a used one.Not gonna be the authentic G&L experience if you get used.
>>127941140But the best ones are pre-1997
>>127940128Rams head mogs all>>127940439Carcosa is shit
>>127940696You should do both. Start with whatever you feel the most motivated for rn (right now).
>>127938718i prefer the 3 tempo method. the middle tempo where you're can just play something clean enough, the lower tempo where you clean up your tone and timing and the rough spots, and the higher tempo where you build speed and coordination. you get your middle tempo just right and the other two should only be +-10-15% of your middle tempo speed. boy the quality of this general really bottoms out during eurasia hours, huh?
>>127938718No. It still works.
Picked up a travel bass. Sounds good and was pretty cheap. Now I have to work. When I return, I'll be practicing nicelback, blowing for soup, the offspring and hoobastank. 2000s radio pop music is pretty fun to play and nostalgic. Love it
>>127941337>blowing for soupI never thought the economy would get that bad
>>127939919yeah if you want to lose half your tone or volume in an 1/8th of a turn
>>127941353Unfortunately the BFS bangers are easy to play so that makes me wanna learn them
>>127941374calm down.
>>127941632>calm down.linearly or logarithmically
trying the martin luxe acoustic strings. better be good for $40
>>127941353No way you can turn on Stacy's mom and not sing it
>he bought $40 strings
I need tenor banjo strings so I can try and be the lighting bolt bassist. But I think I'll get a 2nd 5 string bass for that. And I'll get a new set of 5 strings and maybe new strings for the 4 strings just to get practice in with changing strings.
>>127941859$40 is nothing to me. i'm concerned with the tone
Something happened, but I feel like my playing has improved drastically. I feel so confident on the fretboard, new phrases spring up and I'm generally feeling happier when playing.I didn't do anything to achieve that though. I did have the intention of trying to improve my theory and general knowledge. I started learning to play the piano, which made me think more about the actual notes in chords and intervals. I did start a video course, but quit that again after being disappointed with it.None of that could explain my "progress". How come? I've been playing for 20 years now and was stuck on advanced beginner. But the last couple of weeks pushed me into intermediate, without really consciously doing anything for it.Either way, I'm still looking for a better structured way to keep learning and improving. There has to be something better than just looking up random videos on Youtube about triads, intervals and harmony.
>>127940128>put fuzz effect on>it just wobbles, makes my guitar fart and sounds like shitWhat am I doing wrong?
>>127942009hard to say because you didn't mention anything about your practice or what you changed over the last few months
>>127942071Move the knobs around smart guy
>>127942109I only played songs I like with backing tracks. I didn't do any theory or technique practice.
>>127942166you either got more confidence, improvised slightly while playing along with the backing tracks, or stopped thinking about theory or shapes on the guitar because you didn't think about those things on piano. thinking about theory makes my playing worse. i learn melodies and play them on the guitar and use that as a springboard for improvisation
>>127939849I own pedalsI own a lot of pedals.I never use pedals.I always use a multi-effect pedal.
Sweetwater rep had plastic surgery to look like me and he has been acting as a surrogate/doppelganger against my will. Showing up places acting like he's me. Ever since I found out he's been calling me and not saying anything and hanging up after a minute.

>>1279380725 grand lmao
>>127940696I visualize the fretboard in solfege
>>127942399Baste
>>127937593what should i do if i kind of know how to play guitar i can play songs and all my major minor chords but i know im lacking in knowledge of scales and being able to play by ear. i don't want to go through beginner courses cuse they're too slow but i don't want to skip and miss things i should know. is learning guitar just learning scales one by one and earning chords one by one then practicing the song that you're learning. and throw in some strumming/picking patterns
>>127942431go through a beginner course since you're still a beginner
Is there one universal way to hold the pick or just whatever’s comfortable?
Whoa
>>127937593had a G&L bluesboy tele back in the day, only ended up with it cos I was selling an amp and the guy was short cash so threw it in, never bonded with it, hated the feel of the neck but those MFD pickups were undeniably beast, always meant to grab some and put them in a cooler beater guitar, pure rock action.Don't recall ever seeing anyone play a G&L live other than cantrell
>>127942455i would't call myself a beginner i can play songa start to finish i can play the start to classical gas its just all i know is parts and i don't want to waste time hearing about how it may hurt your fingers, like my fingers are hard like rocks
>>127942222Greenback for MarshallV30 for Boogie
>>127942384Good amps aren't cheap. Enjoy your katana lmao
>>127942684sounds like you skipped everything you didn't want to play or seemed to hard. you're a beginner by your own admission when it comes to theory and ear, so find a beginner course and skip the stuff you know. you need to experience ego death and realize you know very little about guitar and you'll be more open to learning
>>127938718You don't see a sprinter practicing sprints by not sprinting.
who needs a speaker when you can just plug your amp head into the pa system

I wish I could go back to being a NEET learning the guitar

I was going to buy another guitar but my girlfriend said that was retarded. I’d like a Les Paul jr or a goldtop with p90s.
>>1279433381) no he’s not2) well I’m a retard then I guess because I don’t think that’s true
>>127943345buy a new gf
You guys intuiting this?
The other day GC had a sale on basses and there was a 5 string for 120. I thought "that would be a good one to try replacing strings on so I can keep my squire intact." Check now and it's 180. I will kill myself right fucking now and I'm not kidding
>>127943345You could rape her for trying to control your life. It's not illegal if she's your gf.
Your fav guitar company has asked you to design a guitar for them, the only rule is it has to be named after a food item and has to sound cool. Hard mode: no alcohol or alcoholic drinks.Go.

Are there any guitarists who are known to have nfl quarterback sized hands?
>>127939608These kinds of finishes always signal "look at how expensive this guitar was to make," which is exceptionally retarded at the best of times, but especially so when the guitar is some cheap shit Ibanez. Why are musicians so aesthetically bankrupt? It's not hard to make a nice looking guitar, we've been doing it for over a century, but these manufacturers always try to reinvent the wheel with these gay colourways and finishes>pic related it's your tacky dogshit handmade in japan weab instrument
Is the Ableton Live 12 Intro version good enough or should I go with a different software?
>>127943748>mad because can't afford or shredI win
>>127943681How big is your cock? Be honest.
>>127943748The one company that does this correctly is PRS. All of their finishes even in their SE’s are beautiful but not gaudy. Otherwise I think guitar finishes are pretty gay.
>>127943748>Why are musicians so aesthetically bankrupt? It's not hard to make a nice looking guitar, we've been doing it for over a centuryPost a beautiful electirc guitar then. No sunburst.
>>127943017Do sprinters have to worry about rhythm?
>>127943786About average.

>>12794368110" is normal.
>>127943778 I made 250k last year lmfao. It's not about the money, which you should have been able to guess from how I phrased the post. And I'm right, the guitar you posted is an ugly tacky piece of shit. Once manufacturers move on to the next fad in finishing, those are going to be forgotten and you'll be embarrassed that you ever said you liked it. >>127943814>fall for my bait so I can turn around and call you a faggotThere are examples in this thread, you dumb fuck, open your eyes>>127943896>anons will defend this >>127943869We need more over-the-top headstock designs

I know about spyware and I am not oblivious to the Big Brother state the West is implementing, but can someone explain to me how is it when I figured out that the solo to Ride On by AC/DC is a shift from the C major pentatonic to C minor pentatonic (owing to something mentioned at one point about such shifts in one of the guitar instructional videos I watch on the tube-probably Late Night Lessons) I started getting regularly recommended at the top of my related a video about how "this shift from major to minor will blow your mind and your plating!" with Angus and Slash in the thumbnail?

>>127943961Can I borrow 5k so I can pay off my student loans
>>127943989Motherfucker (not you anon)
hang on this one looks even worse
those $40 martin strings are very interesting. when you strum chords they are very close to being as warm as phosphor bronze, when you pick the low strings the bass is more defined as it has a bit more low mids i think, and the B and E strings are stainless so they get more high mids and presence which help them cut through on leads and sound louder. which also has the effect of making your sus and 7 chords really pop since the higher notes have more presence. they also have about 50% more sustain than phosphor bronze which is really cool at the cost of a slight amount of actual volume, which shouldn't really be a problem since you're gaining some mids. if these last as long as they say i'll keep being them, great for martins since they're naturally very lacking in treble.

Told the boomer I'm not an ac/dc or classic rock and he told me not to show up. Back to the drawing board
>>127944063Hiend guitar. Good shop. I get all the ESPs from there
>>127944079nice
>>127944263Wait what happened? I love Eastman I have a dealer near me so I get to play a lot of them I think they’re great
>>127944191>Eastman tv60Haven't seen that one before, but don't know many of their models by name. I agree with Anon in that you should get a used one, but for the price.>>127944263>they're going downhillAre they? qrd?
Show up anyway
>>127944424Is that the tv60? I don’t like that one as much. I prefer the one with better feet access
this is the mostest handsom guitar currently in production i wish i could afford it but 8k is too rich even for my blood
>>127944448No
>>127944489That’s hot and horny
>>127944445It's a T64. Fully hollow, similar to a Casino, but with ebony fretboard.
>>127944505That’s yours? Well wear, it’s sexy
No way I don't wanna get shot man.
>>127944420>>127944424they bought bourgeois, and make the bourgeois touchstone guitars. dana bourgeois voices the tops and ships them to eastman and they build the rest. they no longer use name brand tuners or nitro finish on any of their instruments and they have adopted the bright bourgeois tone in their acoustic guitars. these things may sound inconsequential but 1) why the fuck would you pay $1000+ for a chinese guitar and not get good tuners and 2) it's evident of a paradigm shift in the company. it's a downward trend that could very well get worse over time. you might find some good models here and they but i wouldn't expect every eastman to be as good as they have been before the acquisition
>>127944489uggy >>127944633they never used nitro theyve always used a rub in varnish
>>127944513No, one I was looking at a couple years ago. Went with a Heritage instead.>>127944633Interesting. Thanks, Anon.
>>127944662they had a nitro option for the 59 just a few years ago. i think some of their upper end acoustics were also nitro. they still do the varnish finish on some models. i'm not saying their complete shit now but you can't order one without playing it first and know it's going to be good anymore is what i'm getting at
>>127939398Half the features are missing. No locking trem, no rhythm circuit. To each their own but I would save up for a used Jag or better, a newer MIJ Jag.
>>127944633I actually prefer the thin poly finish they do- it feels very nice and wears attractively. The back of my acoustic has worn away from my belt buckle. Nitro is retarded desu imo it just tries to kill itself constantly and feels like gum. Tuners- eh, I have two of the cheaper Eastmans and they stay in tune very well. I don’t know what the tuners on the strat one are, but the acoustic has pingwells (I don’t know what that is but they’re great)
>>127943750If 8 tracks are enough for you, then yes. Ableton Live was a blessing for me, because it makes looping and jamming alone so much easier.
>>127944690Oh yeah facts I wouldn’t buy one without trying it. When I bought the acoustic I was open to spending a lot more and tried some of the higher end ones, one sounded a bit dead and another had fucked up edges on the rolled fretboard. The little E1om I bought rang like a bell and felt great so I saved a bunch. Also tried some vintage Gibsons and mid tier Martins but they were all a bit shit
>>127944749nitro is great once it cures, it's not longer sticky. i have one of their cheap acoustics with the new poly finish it's ok, thin enough you can see the grain but the tuners are shit. like i said it's not the end of the world but it's not as good as any of the models with real tuners on them, and personally i'd rather play a shitplank with gotoh 510s over a boutique guitar with no name china tuners any day of the week
>>127943897Why are blacks so drawn to bass?
$8k is insanity
>>127944804$8k is entry level for a good reverb pedal.

How close are you with your Sweetwater rep?
>>127945065you don't have to do that if the temperature difference between outside and inside your house is less than 20 degrees

>>127945108We have each other's phone number.
>>127944963Wait, Intro is the one you actually have to buy. I thought you meant Lite, the one which comes with audio hardware. I wouldn't get that one. At that point, just download an unauthorized copy of the Suite version.If you want to support them, get at least Standard. Standard doesn't have any real track limitations, has more usable effects (like a proper parametric EQ).

Really loving my new Gibson acoustic, it’s kind of blasphemous because it’s rosewood and spruce like a Martin instead of mahogany and maple like a Gibson but it sounds so good. I like the Martin sound better than the Gibson sound but this is a Gibson that sounds like a Martin. This model wasn’t on my radar until it popped up locally and I’m very glad it did.

>>127946230nice man, i'm not crazy about cutaways but i like the songwriters. funny you say that though because gibson j45 is equally as popular as martin dreadnoughts or at least very close. they're spruce/mahogany guitars.
>victim blaming Real classy my guy.
>ROCKSMITHDo I just use the old Fit pack or what? I assume Cream doesn't work because of the dlc depots.
We out here smoking trees ong. Y'all don't know we out here dawg. Hot licks and all the side dishes.
You guys seein' this?
>>127946607That's gold Jerry! Gold!
>>127946285Yeah I don’t really like cutaways either but I’m also not picky when it’s something local. Like if I was buying online I’d get specifically what features and finish I want but if it’s local and close enough to what I want I don’t really mind
>>127945732Good job giving your data to google and palantir
>>127946230Very niceThe rosewood/spruce combo was the same reason I went for the pre-war SJ200 over the standardThe Bozeman factory puts out some nice work
>>127938094Weren't Rick basses like this?

Can confirm. Still going through therapy.
Just being a part of this thread is amazing, guys. Thank you so much. We're really blessed.
Where should an EQ pedal go on my pedalboard? I’m thinking right after my tuner at the beginning but should it be near the end of the chain?
>>127947135
>>127945406People would rather buy sub standard Gibson's
>>127947135where ever you like buddy
>>127947135yeah typically first in the signal chain. basically like porn mods in skyrim, you want your CBBE body slider (eq) to be before the futa mods (whammy bar) and companion mods (chorus) so it is affecting all of them at the same time for continuity.

>>127947344I'm surprised that's the only issue you've got with that photo.
who shit my pants?
>>127947344That's just the angle the pic was taken from.
could really go for a beef+tuna+pinapple pizza right now
^he's fueling up
>>127945065When I got my nitro guitar like two weeks ago I didn't wait to open it. It's hot outside but cooler inside so it isn't a problem to wait. Didn't check at all. I think it's only a problem if you bring it from the really cold to the really warm quickly.>>127945108Do people actually talk with Sweetwater reps enough to know them well? I have only ever talked to the guy once. The only other times were over text since I had to split the payment of my guitar over a few days since my (((bank))) wouldn't let it all go through at first.
>>127947455Pizza's not worth it. Bake a potato and have it with butter and green onion and s&p.

>>127947583Whoa there, carbs are for dreamers sailor you need to cool it with these fantasies of vegetables too.
>>127938718Nuno's such a sincere fan of guitar. His enthusiasm is always uplifting.Too bad Extreme is so mid.
>>127943896Beyond gorgeous.
the j in j-bass stands for african
>>127945406The only time I played them was in a local mom and pop that was not big enough to carry brands like Fender or Gibson. They were nice back in the day >>127941148 but most people went for Fender instead.
>>127947365I'm an engineer by day, that's the part that I care about>>127947383No it's not lmao
>>127943896so fucking tasteful
>>127947788Forgot to say, they felt more raw and 'woody' than a Fender, which felt more plasticy. One factor in people going Fender was that all G&L's stuff was proprietary so couldn't be modded out as easily as a Tele or Strat.
if the company name is more than 2 syllables its trash simple as
>>127947885True!
>what kind of pickup do you prefer?My preference for single-coil pickups stems from their distinctive tonal qualities—clarity, brightness, and articulation—that resonate deeply with my musical sensibilities. Unlike humbuckers, which offer thicker, more homogenized sound, single-coils produce a shimmering, transparent tone that allows every nuance of my playing to shine through. This crystalline quality lends itself well to genres like blues, funk, and classic rock, where precision and expressiveness are paramount. Additionally, single-coil pickups are highly responsive—they pick up subtle variations in string vibrations and dynamics, fostering a more intimate and interactive relationship between player and instrument. This responsiveness encourages a nuanced, conversational approach, making each note and vibrato feel purposeful and emotionally charged. Culturally, iconic artists such as Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Holly exemplify the expressive potential of single-coils. Their bright, bell-like tones evoke nostalgia while maintaining timeless appeal. Although the susceptibility to electromagnetic hum can be a drawback, I see this as a manageable trade-off for the sonic clarity and expressive versatility they provide. Ultimately, my affinity for single-coil pickups lies in their ability to deliver articulate, responsive, and emotionally evocative sounds. They invite a more nuanced interaction with the instrument—qualities that transcend technical specs and tap into the very soul of electric guitar playing.
I shop at SweeWah and GahSen.
>>127947917i like acoustics with no pickups
>>127947885Stealth Ibanez hate post
I think gretsch should design some squiers you know
>>127947937Namaste
That's cool, but double humbuckers are like a strong friend you can always rely on, or something.
I've warmed up to gretsch guitars
gotta buy some planks to finish coving my floors
>>127948199are they squier by any chance?
How old were you when you realized that Fender and Gretsch and Gibson and Taylor and Guild, etc. weren't all friends chilling together because they all like guitar, but actually cut-throat competitors of each other who'd happily see the others fail?
I do not like 355s.
>>127948255separate the art from the artist
I've been seeing the same squier jag at GC for a year now. Same little scratches on the pickguard sticker, same sharp end on the 8th fret, low E side. I go to the katana section and put on some medium reverb. No delay because it highlights my mistakes. I'll never buy her but I'll miss her when someone else does.
>>127948281Agreed. Too much useless mumbo-jumbo under the hood.
I like my epi LP standard There are many like it, but this one is mine
Is it possible to be so punk rock it cancels it out? Like the ouroboros? The snake eating its own tail? For instance, Weezer is punk adjacent, but if they strayed from up-lifting happy punk they would be selling out to the man. If they stay the same they are granola rockers. If they go pop the punk fans drop them. So you must strive to be unique but have a core value. A synthesized web of choices based on input. A thought experiment: Every choice you make, can be measured, what is the most punk rock thing to do while still being moral and good. For instance someone waves you through a four way stop and they stopped first. They have the legal right of way, and are technically coercing you into committing a petty crime. Do you follow their request, and take the path of least resistance? Give them a rude gesture? Wait as long as it takes for them to go? Brinkmanship. Or put it in reverse to show them they can go? After all, they are just trying to be safe and polite. Do you get out of your car and escalate a potential argument? Or do you just turn right to get away from this total goober? Or, perhaps the most punk rock thing is to not have a reason.
>>127948319Best SG I ever played was a $500 epiphone
>>127948347Me too
I haven't used an amp at all since i got a katana go
Amp is in fingers
>buying any other acoustic than a YamahaYamaha FG shits all over everything.
>>127948255Taylor isn’t scared of the others at all.
I haven't used an amp since i started resting the headstock on a table.
>>127944489>>127944448why do i dislike that shape but like this one
>>127948369You haven't gotten laid since then too
I haven't used an amp since I started playing Paper Jamz
Heard three of Taylor's songs from her new album. Really good. Proud of her for proving the haters wrong. Call it like I see it. Been listening since her debut.
>>127948408i've never gotten laid.
>>127948423whole album sounds like AI
>>127948423Who?
>>127948423what guitar does hse play
>>127948438That's probably the point/statement, if true; but I haven't listened to the whole thing through yet so I don't want to judge yet. Or say misinformed things.
>>127948213epiphone and ltd
>>127948109They've got the (modern) Synchromatic line as their lowest end.
>>127947610Retarded choice
>>127948451Fat Niels sister. >>127948455Pink Gibson acoustic and Fender jazz Master, I think. Pretty tasteful ngl.
>>127948424Buy a proper tube amp and hit the gym
>>127948488she has a few sparkle red les pauls including a special, muse, standard and deluxe
>>127948500nah, i'm good
>Taylor not playing a Taylorbaka
>>127948491>Matt
>>127948424Katana Go is all you need dude. Pussy can't provide amazing tones while fitting in your pocket.
Taylor plays a Johnny Marr Jag.
John Lennon plays a 1965 John Lennon Reissue Epiphone Casino.
>>127948519she used to play a bunch of taylors and even has a signature model.
You can't just say Taylor and expect me to think of a singer and not the guitar brand.
>>127948479>switchNah I dug out my old Wii from storage, don’t have a switch
It would be cool to jam with her. See what she can really do on the guitar. She plays with a lot of restraint. Like I have listened to every song and don't know how good she is at guitar. Very peculiar.
Muddy Waters plays a 1992 MIM Fender Telecaster.
>>127948556she's been playing for over 20 years, you would think she'd be pretty good.
>>127948407those you dislike are semihollows, they have a solid block of wood running through the middle of the guitar as the continuation of the neckthat which you like is a true hollowbody. it's body is hollow like a acoustic guitarthat said those Ibanez Artcore series are focking shite mate
>>127948566some people play for 40 years and never evolve beyond strumming a few chords
>>127948566>>127948589That's the thing. Her theory knowledge is obvious, and she should have the ability, I would think. Imagine if she released a death metal shred album. You know she likes some of that stuff. She's a guitar player after all.
>>127948530glad I'll never buy it then
>>127948602
i sold my guitars and amps after mastering the fretboard, I just make the shapes with my hands and I can hear the music.
>>127948602this bitch prances around with a guitar for the look and nothing else, while 100 producers make the whole song for her
>>127948618https://voca.ro/1op6Q43tqhw9
>>127948609Why? It's the only Jag I'd get.
>>127948618okay
>>127948609Johnnys are a total improvement over a normal Jag.
>>127948530Like a Greek statue. And tasteful as well. What's not to like? I think she gets a bad rap.
>>127948624kek
my acoustic sounds like shit and is really hard to playhttps://voca.ro/1bXMPZsrY9RK
i like smelling my martin
>>127948703warm
i love how the new thread doesnt even get bothered to be made any more the attitude here is so fucking punk rock unironically
>>127948623Yes but when she's not doing that she plays guitar a lot.
no new thread until last post
>>127948618Mitch Hedberg everyone
I'll miss you guys.
