It's pretty insane how you're supposed to play the correct notes out of like 100+ notes on a guitar a thousand times per song, at all kinds of different intervals with extra different techniques thrown on top, all from memoryAnd then this is just a normal skill millions of people possess
>>127971708Towards and acoustic because it was redundant and at the bottom of the totem pole for my P90 guitars
>>127972023you do it automatically without thinking after some practiceafter 20 years i've got the entire fretboard memorized, my hands just know where to go. i know what every single fret and note combo sounds like. you just pick it up, i dunno
>>127972023Eventually you stop thinking about individual notes and instead think in clusters that makes it significantly easier. Also muscle memory takes over for some things as well.
I want a Gibson Les Paul Custom (tm) with a black-as-fuck fretboard. Do I need to get a used vintage guitar to achieve that because ebony has been banned, or are there modern options? I feel like the recent ones I've seen have all been dark brown at best.
>>127972096just dye it. you can literally dye wood and it's cheap and easy. don't understand this obsession with getting the perfect looking guitar when you can just dye the fretboard
>>127972123That sounds risky (especially on an expensive guitar like that) and you never know how it's going to turn out.
>>127972137>you never know how it's going to turn outpretty sure it will turn out darker, dumbass
>>127972141I can smear shit on my fretboard and it will get darker. That doesn't mean it gets darker in a desirable way.
okay so don't take a file to your neck, not sure what luthiers use to file down fret ends but a regular metal file will scuff up the fretboard ends, no go if you have binding there.
>>127972096>ebony has been bannedwhat does he mean by this?
>>127972137bro you aren't going to believe this they've been using die on violin fretboards for 300 years
well boys, some days you're the jizz, some days you're the rag...
>>127972284they use specially shaped ones that sit over the fret

>>127972429good thing i only scuffed a small edge. NEVERFORGET
You can't dye a maple fretboard
>>127972454i know, otherwise i would havethe super pale light colored shit fender uses now looks so cheap. it screams "squire"
>>127972284the real answer is those files have safe edges btw. i have several files. the worst is getting the tang on fenders dogshit necks, you need a rat tail file for that
>>127972454why would you? you can stain it or tint the finish but again why would you (technically they're all tinted or roasted because raw maple is incredibly pale)
>>127972528Clear coat turns it more yellow. Even ultra clear tends to shift the color in that direct for some physics reason I can't be tasked to understand.
>>127972528Maple that looks like rosewood.
>>127972609they have a very dissimilar grain structure, not sure it can be convincing
>>127972405Aren't these crowning files, you need a different type to file down fret ends
>>127972622i have a 'baked maple' era Gibson (Obama administration seized all Gibson USA's rosewood and they dyed maple brown and used it on their cheap guitars)but you could get an Agile LP with rosewood for 300 dollars or an Epiphone or Squier from China with rosewood boardjust Obongo fucking over an American company because trees

>>127973307how dare you
>>127973307Not portable enough.
>>127973307Too much theory
what would you say is a better bass for a complete beginner (as in i can't even play a note).used Epiphone Embassy Pro for about 300€ with different humbuckers.used ibanez gio soundgear for 125€.Also what's a good way to practice in an apartment without making too much sound? i already have one of those mini maps that i can just plug to my headphones but i'd prefer if i could find a way to minimize the sound even more if possible, i already have owned a squire stratocaster that i never touched for 3 years, i have a lot of free time in my hands at the moment and video games aren't cutting it for me anymore.
https://voca.ro/1oQVo7w7SbFd
>>127973495 unlike electric guitars a bass without amp is barely audible dude, if anyone complained about an unplugged bass they'd probably complain about you breathing and walking around the apartment tooan ibanez gio should be good enough as a first bass if you have no preferences whatsoever
First time posting my playing here. Looking for feedback on this short recording. What's good and what's sloppy?https://voca.ro/1lM4eJktY3HP
>>127973548Are you rushing or are you dragging?
>>127973564Rushing. It's meant to be a bit slower but that was the cleanest take.
>>127973539thank you for the tip my brother, it having a generally lower tone is one of the reasons i am more inclined to starting off with bass. I've read a bit online and i've found out too that the soundgear is an awesome bass to start out, now, i don't know anything about this world but the epiphone for that price seems pretty nice and it seems a "step" in tier above the soundgear, essentially not being considered an entry level bass, do you think, if i invest that little more and buy the more expensive out of the two that i could keep it for a couple more years and maybe play it in a more "professional" setting i.e. kick it with some like-minded dudes? or im just better off sticking with the soundgear and figure out if i wanna go anywhere with bass and then get a decent one.
https://voca.ro/1fawIszQ9fzQ
>>127973582nobody really cares what bass you stroll up to a jam with as long as you're halfway decent, most of them is dying to get anyone to play with. If you like the looks of the epiphone that much then sure get it as it will motivate you to play but if not, the gio will be just fine for you until you figure out what you actually like
>>127973539An unplugged bass can get way louder than a guitar wdym, the strings simply have more massProbably not loud enough to be a problem but still
>>127973648the lower the pitch is the larger the resonant box has to be to get the sound out, you can't hear an unplugged bass whatsoever unless you pop the strings really hard or have a fuck ton of fret buzz
>>127971335That's because violin's and cello's (Page used a cello bow afaik) strings are positioned in a high radius which allows to bow each string separately. Guitar's strings are completely flat (in comparison to a cello) and you can only bow them all together. This reason makes using a bow on a guitar in a musical manner impossiblehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJL942hg0uM
>>127973603Indonesian folk music?
I noticed that my picking hand is much faster than my left hand. When I try to play single notes fast, it sounds like shit.Any exercise to help boost my left-hand (without having to resort to little tricks like legato) and both hands synchronization?
>>127974245https://youtu.be/BLapKecB-os&t=31Start doing this ^What's wrong with legato though?
>>127974245wouldn't you need a fast left hand to play legato anyway? sounds more like you coordination isn't good enough
>>127974316>>127974343Nothing wrong with legato, it's very helpful in bypassing coordination issues.
>>127973307I don't have one
>>127974245https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ababg5Y8kADon't put down legato as a silly little trick. If we're talking about the school of amplified distorted electric guitar you should be able to get most phrase going with just the left. There was a tone talk episode that Pete Thorn talks about Guthrie Govan hanging around the Suhr factory. He says he was playing fast, loudly, cleanly with just his left hand unamplified.

Now I can only play a few intros and solos. What if I'll practice everyday for 8 hours? Is it possible to reach the top by the end of the year?

How the heck do you pick fast without any tension? I’m going insane

>>127974424Economy of motion. It’s a a graded scale of effort.The biggest issue I had when I was first learning speed was the minimal movements in the right hand. The idea for speed is that you eventually think of the right hand as “dancing” in a motion that enables the left hand. It’s why alternate picking will never outpace your left hand. >Exercise #1: do it legato firstTry doing everything legato. You can see that most notes ring out just from you touching your finger to the fret. The right hand enables the next notes with minimal effort - this is the basis for economy picking.Exercise #2: loud ampAnother revelation for me was letting the amp do the work. Often, we play at low volume, which requires more effort to hear notes. This creates tension.Instead, we’re gonna play a game. Crank your amp to where full volume is too loud. Now, play your runs at an even volume. The game is that you get penalized by your ears each time something makes your ear drums bleed. This will help you feel the MINIMAL amount of effort and - the important part - how you can use dynamics to accentuate lines.Exercise #3: master crosspicking Crosspicking is one of the easiest and hardest things out there. You need to understand that your picking hand is fingers -> wrist -> arm. You actuate each of these for increasing speed and use muscle twitches for speed (ex. tremolo).What makes crosspicking useful for tensionless playing is that you’re inadvertently using all of these movements depending on string skipping and the distance played. Going e to E requires wrist movement and finger control. As you go faster, the arm may get involved at the elbow.Your goal is to pick cleanly and you can let the notes ring out or play it staccato (yes, even open strings). Watch as speed increases and which joint (knuckle, wrist or elbow).(Cunny-tinued)
>>127975573>Exercise #4: the mental gameCheck your breathing. Play lines while talking - each time you have trouble thinking if the next word, that’s where there is tension.>Exercise #5: warm up then judgeIf you don’t warm up, don’t make judgments. In the classical tradition, warming up is standard practice - you’d never practice or play without supplying your body with oxygen and blood to perform. Same deal for other athletes.What ends up happening is that people get into this “I suck and it doesn’t get better” plateaus because they never let their body adapt for playing. Unless you’re playing several gigs a week and rehearse to be in “fighting readiness”, you’ll always be at 3/4 of your powers.Instead, stretch your hands - BOTH OF them. Your hands should feel lover and warm, even sweaty. Some of my greatest accomplishments in music were sitting in an unair-conditioned room and sweating while shredding. Just the heat alone made the guitar feel like butter.Exercise #6: play bassRelated to the one above, you need to stretch - and a bass is the stretchiest. Play one finger per fret chromatic exercises across the bass. Do this for five minutes, THEN pick up the guitar. It will feel like a toy.

>>127974415>running the clock on a cheap client while chewing nicotine gum so excuse me for the long responses8 hours is actually counterproductive unless you’re on meth (and that made my knuckles feel like they were bleeding internally).Biggest upgrade to playing is by performing live. That will change your entire approach to the instrument. You will level up IMMEDIATELY afterwards. When I started out, I’d read these stories if incessant practice, but you can get the same effects by two hours. I practiced so much I had to get my hands checked out. The upside for this was that my bass teacher took me aside and said we would have to stop lessons because 17 yo me learned everything I could from him.The real gamechanger is when you can practice in your mind. Beyond mechanics, you need to think of the fretboard in your subconscious. Right now, I’m thinking of arranging this of an open-tuned guitar:https://open.spotify.com/track/122qz1dG8yJgfz7NV22sd4?si=OdMn_g1LQ7GXiZTqkk8hzA&context=spotify%3Aplaylist%3A5txgRZuUmBfV5aYEBysbkBI already have a tuning picked out, I am thinking of how fingerings, RH patterns, chord progressions, and form, and… I haven’t even touched my instrument yet ($$$ running the clock $$$), but I already have an arrangement I can tweak.Am I practicing? You believe it and doing other shit. Me and my drummer buddy used to practice polyrhythms by walking in a sidewalk, with our heel steps subdividing each marked block. Then we’d try clapping another one. Same deal with ear training, where I picked out that Addison Rae song on piano the other day, and I already “know” it on guitar (Cmin Gmin Bbmaj Fmaj).Now, do I log this as practice? No. I have a chart for deliberate practice (pic rel) and use that as a progress tracker. If I can’t master a skill at least at a beginner/intermediate level at 20 hours, then something is very wrong.

Their teachings are vast, but there are a number of useful aphorisms he said:>“The first step to getting out of prison is to know you’re in prison.”I actually joined a Fourth Way group and did a 10-day Vipassana retreat - both were transformative to my approach to music.

>>127976366it's dunning kruger effect for music theory. a lot of people that can't play the blues out here criticizing it
>>127976446>Do you mean there must be some responsibility?Yep, exactly. Also, you'll understand how to deal with elevated blood pressure and the panic that comes with being in front of a listener. Even though I had played in orchestras and bands at this point, performing front and center made me bashful and uncertain. Worse, you'll get muscle cramps that you've never experienced before. I had a talent show I had to play in 5 performances, and right before I went on for the most difficult one (playing YYZ on bass), I decided to coat my hands with talcum powder - something I had never done before. This didn't fuck up things per se, but it introduced a challenge that was outside the sphere of "drill that diminished run up to speed until you bleed" in a bedroom and rehearsal space.

I like having the option of a certain guitar’s feel and sound in normal old standard and also having options on hand for when I want to play in another tuning instead of needing to retune and occasionally reintonate.

P90s sound good in drop D with dirt and instead of normal old drop D I wanted to fool around with double drop D more instead and it’s stuck with meI still do most of my playing in standard but when I’m stuck in a rut it’s nice to pickup another guitar in another tuning and refresh my brain

You can tune to the raga- I frequently tune down to a drone tuning - like E standard down to C# (C#F#B EG#c#). This makes sense in jeetland where you need to calm and motivate people through song. Subcommunication is cool too. I once stopped a domestic argument because I was practicing musical saw in key west. Lots of guitar effects. Oh yeah, be ready to sing for a chick if she asks. If you fail that, you lose. If you succeed, you get a blowjob from a female in a parking garage (pic rel)I wrote a book about busking but I won’t shill it here unless there’s demand or it’s kosher. I used to sell it in the streets and got interviewed by Squat the Planet.
>>127977102>This makes sense in jeetland where you need to calm and motivate people through songHow do you know, sir are you Indian?
Why are 9 out of 10 guitarists obsessed with playing the same shitty sounding high gain wankery bullshit and incapable of playing anything even sort of musical and good sounding?
>>127977172Playing actual music is hard
>>127976715Autism or different tunings. Always laughing my ass of when i see boomers with 10 Les Pauls of the same line in the same boomer standard tuning because "they sound soooo different". You should beat them up with their guitars and gift them to actual talented people.

>>127977321maybe guitarists should start on bass and they'd be able to play in time

>>127977336>>127977348I just don't want hear bass sweeps. I want the backbeat.And I don't want to hear djent and metal spergs reducing guitars to chugging or even slapping.I guess I'm a plain rocker through and through. It's a formula that still gets me stoked.
>>127976715Different tunings, having a backup, used to the feel/prefer the body shape and features but want slightly different specs like a thinner neck or different pickups for example.
that old guitar string funk
Nut file is warming up
>>127977515Let people enjoy things. No one ever had their wedding song be Animals as Leaders. Maybe Polyphia but that just seems like normie territory. I too hate the slapping but Korn is bretty güd.The truth is that there are speed limitations for clarity in that frequency range and then you get piccolo basses, which just sounds stupid.https://youtu.be/d5G9OKrDI6gI prefer Wetton overall and the dude from Nomeansno. Bass has some sick possibilities like Lightning Bolt and it’s fascinating to try new approaches.
>>127977676Yeah, Korn had some good songs, I'll admit. I wasn't a fan of them at the time, but in retrospect, I'd take it over a lot of stuff.
>>127977705Yeah Mudvayne can suck it but that cover of New Order by that swedish band is pretty good and it might have slap.
>>127977676>>127977705I don’t like Korn at all but I have nothing but love and respect for Jonathan Davis, dude’s a great guy.
>>127977918I briefly worked for a food delivery department of a strip mall lottery chain. We'd start the day at 4am listening to Korn's first album. He even played through "Daddy" and it felt like some type of psychopathic torture or prolonged psychosis from abuse, like he wanted us to know his pain. That bass register i used to shit on, but then I hear the Deftones and I go, damn that makes sense in a body-feel way versus Geddy Lee. It's psychoacoustics and women get horny and strip to Deftones...
>>127977964The polar opposite is like Mike Watt in the Minutemen. That highstrung sound works, and it leaves room for D Boon's glorious voice.>I cry when I watch we jam econo>albini said the same thing at a shellac show
>>127977453Poor man's Death Wish
>>127977453The first one's alright. I wouldn't bother with the sequels. I've kinda fallen out of my intrigue with Charles Bronson style revenge fantasies, though. I mean, people are actually out there like, "I wish my family would get raped/murdered so I could be Batman/Charles Bronson/John Wick/Max Payne and have the moral justification to carry out revenge beatings/shootings/killings."
>>127978079>Huxley's "feelies" for anarcho-tyranny bread-and-circuses>meta signaling - the medium is the messageI'm glad Bronson's out there doing something so I don't have to.
>>127978048I don't see the relation at all. It's almost nonstop action like a kung fu flick. Barely any plot desu. It's hard to do fun choreography with guns though, and they do it. Death Wish were dramas in comparison...but nothing wrong with that either.>>127978079As far as the action goes, it just got cooler to me.
>>127977860Mudvayne is just goofy. This is when nu metal jumped the shark. At the very least, I thought Korn were sincere and not gimmicky or anything.

How do I get the Chapstick (tm) tone?
>>127978255There seems to be a cyclical mixing of cultures until they get dull. People don't evolve. Deftones at least became more ambient, SOAD is gayer, and the rest tour the redneck circuits.

>>127978266Guitar solos and revenge flicks. Two consistent obsessions with me since I was a little kid.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inUCmh3LY9Y
>>127977515>bass should always be boringand then you wonder why there's such fewer bassists than guitarists
>>127978682A good groove isn't boring to me. That's basically all rock, soul, r&b, and pop until yesterday.
>>127978810You ain't wrong but I thinik everyone's arguing the same thing. The problem is when bass players step out, don't use good tone, and overplay - which can either be welcome when you're playing guitar during a solo break, or could clash when you're trying to sing and the bass player's doing some bebop lick they decided to slap and tap on a cover gig.However, if it's like a Hella, Lightning Bolt, or DFA1979, I say let it rip. There's subtle shit you can do to make stuff work. Like Jaco does a good job on Hejira, almost sounding like a coyote behind Joni. Same deal with Crimson-era Greg Lake - subtle stuff you wouldn't notice but makes the song. https://youtu.be/n_olT4v13HE?si=XSejv2fJm853PUGS
>>127978866every instrument has the same problems and must practice restraint, i think it's just more apparent on bass because bass and piano are really the only two instruments that have enough power to change/override the harmony. most guitarists aren't equipped to improvise and don't know what to do with key, rhythm, or even scale changes. watching two great players go back and forth is great kind of like clapton and bruce in cream but it wasn't as experimental as you'd like to believe. reggie and victor wooten playing together is awesome, also. or really anyone victor has played with
>>127978866Also, I should add... I think a groove can be intricate. I just like consistency.. and not overlapping with guitars too much.Also, I like piercing mid heavy and high end on guitars too. Played in "boomer standard". So it's not like the bass disappears in that anyway.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMdQDMIxThkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka8xS4A0aFc
>>127978909I was just listening to them! Yeah, they have a good balance, but the bass player does drop D at times.I just think that just about every permutation of the classic rock song has been done, so it's interesting to see a band that has a different approach. For me, Modest Mouse has the perfect bass that worms its way through chord changes. Plus, there's stuff the dudes who play it do that does the high register without it sounding like crap.

>>127979281>faster than jamerson https://youtu.be/pEpALB3SFTo

>>127979320finally a quality post
>>127979284I'm running the clock on a client. I'm transmuting that latent rage and money-to-come into gold. I'm just saying, there's quality out there besides what the music industry foists on us. Jamerson is definitely good and >>127979289Imagine if he used two, like everyone else. Wetton's using five, especially with the muting slaps when he switches from the finger-as-pick to fingerstyle. That's after the staccato ostinato part and he's even using his volume pedal for feedback throughout. McCartney is a better Jamerson>>127979311Did he play on the Golden Palominos records? If he did "Pure", that album is a fucking GEM (not a stinker on it, but dated 90's sound). Album:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBfago4GYTk"Anything" has the boompa-loompa-boompa sound that's the perfect pocket for this tune:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzl6S0ocmX8
>>127979347Yeah, he's been on a ton of stuff. Unfortunately overlooked like that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn9iGx1cbGw
>>127979347if you actually take the time to look at every track jamerson has ever cut you'll find that many of the good basslines you've heard from other people he did first, in part or in whole. at the end of the day the bass should groove and no one grooves better than james, im sorry. yeah sure theres some stanky funky guys like bootsy but jamerson influenced literally everyone that followed. the electric bass as we know it was only a few years old when he was recording with it
>>127979365>the electric bass as we know it was only a few years old when he was recording with itYeah, that's pretty amazing in its own right. To push out so much right away.
looks like heartbreaker snuck into his younger siblings adhd meds again
>>127979391yeah it's kind of insane they were cutting like 5-7 new songs per day at motown, and by his own admission he only took 15-30 mins to write each bassline. most people only count billboard but if you count the r&b boards and others around at the time he played on 23+56 number ones respectively. he got to record outside of motown later in the 70s and you can find him laying down a more modern, supportive role but it still grooves. rip died when he was 43 i think
>>127979365My dad always listened to Motown in the car, so I'm familiar with his lines (which are good, like "Bernadette"). I worked my way through the book and his lines, which just seem like he was playing walking bass with less swing (hence why THE HOOK tm is part of his legacy). You can get a lot of mileage with one-finger rakes. I just find Wetton's note choice more appealing. Groove making is relatively simple. For example, The O'Jay's "For the Love of Money" has a pick sound from Anthony Jackson, who is also on everything (including Al DiMeola's Race with the Devil on a Spanish Highway). I can't imagine Jamerson coming up with anything like that or keeping pace with THE HOOK (tm) [ALL RIGHTS RESERVED - Motown Records 2025)Wetton's on a bunch of Eno stuff, and you can even hear Percy Jones. Again, can't imagine Jamerson playing with Phil Collins:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_FoV0x4Be4&list=RDc_FoV0x4Be4&start_radio=1

>>127980257>covered PAFs in a tele
>>127980176Very true. When I toured, I'd see these bands fight with each other before playing the most banal of music. You can still make money composing. My buddy got a random invite because he placed some NYC gig and the organizer recommended him to create a tune for, no joke, a NYC Puerto Rican domestic violence non-profit's fashion show. They paid him $500 for a quick snippet (think Chromatics "Beating of the Clock") and he used drum templates on Logic. The real grind on the road is the people. So many scammers, thieves, and big egos in small towns. You'd go from playing a house show in Dayton where molly was provided before and after the show, then you'd play a bar in Madison the next week where the bartender couldn't check his email about the guarantee you discussed. Or, people try to fuck your bandmate. OR MY LEAST FAVORITE, getting roofied. Yeah, no thanks, I am now high on crack that you sprinkled on the weed we just shared. Abroad, it's much easier to coast on being exotic and American. Most other bands suck, and your biggest obstacle is remembering to bring a wall charger for the particular country you're in. People were about 10 percent better, but still you'd have to chase people for money. Busking was WAY better, making like 60 euro an hour in Hamburg or Leipzig or Munich, but then you'd hit Zaragoza, St. Jean de Luz, and San Sebastian and the money would dry out. Plus fucking gypsies--they literally memorize jazz music note for note and play it in ensembles. There are some legit ones, though, but almost getting robbed at 2am from some skulking gypsy towards my tent is not fun. The road trips are cool, but you soon realize that most towns are interchangeable. It's rare when you hit up a place like Gainesville, FL or Pascagoula, MS and you're welcomed with open arms because they all listened to some weird radio gig you played in Santa Barbara. My buddy developed a coke habit and died/revived on the table. He went back out the next day.

>>127980717I'm building my portfolio, as my buddy showed me how he got composing gigs (just networking and doing blow with college dance students). Blow can get you far.My other friend composer friend (his job title and he played with Project/Object and got scammed by Ike Willis for $500 crack money) actually has his music published as part of academic pieces--think extended technique tunes for orchestral instruments. Most of it is absolutely unlistenable - I asked him how he wrote some of it, and he just showed me he dragged scales around in Finale and dropped in hard to play stuff to enhance the dearth of new repertoire. He didn't know shit, though; I asked him for a piece for banjo and he gave me a hexatonic piece in G# (banjo is in gDGBD) and unreachable notes because laziness. Still, his other work is superb. I took him to a strip club in Tempe before we saw Terry Riley (good improv with his son).I've already had my music featured on some radio shows, but that was a friend I met at Super Happy Fun Land in Houston when he was doing sound. He put it at the start of his on-air talking for his Christian Metal show. Good guy and it was a thrill to hear it as bumper music. I've also sent tracks that my friend used to demo his stuff on MTV's soundstage. I didn't hear it myself. Sweet guy and I used to visit him when he'd do his show each Easter. Gigging is also useful. If someone chats you up after a show, you'll find out that they're fishing for musicians, too, and you can do some collaborations. No, I won't say collabs.Upwork and Fiverr are two platforms where you can do it yourself. I used to do a Virtual Busker via Facebook back when Amanda Palmer was a proponent of this Do-It-Together nonsense, so I'd often have to write a custom song a week for someone to sing to their wife. It was nice as a revenue stream, but I ended up pigeonholing my band as kid-friendly for day gigs and saucier shit at night. Lots of perverts out there and hangers-oncont.

These micro-tunes all have 3 parts, so I can extended them just doing a ABABCA form. These tunes tend to write themselves and I like to leave them open-ended because open tunings lend themselves happy accidents. I have plenty of other instruments and specialties (I play trombone and euphonium, on top of keys--which are mandatory). Also, celebrities and powerbrokers aren't unreachable. I regret not hitting up Albini before he died of being pozzed, but Jamie Stewart from Xiu Xiu gave me advice for recording ("just turn knobs until it sounds good.").

>>127980920sounds like you're in europe. being a session musician sounds a lot more structured in the US on the whole
>>127980934serial and such looks accurate for an early 2000s specialthe headstock decal is a bit more prominent than I would expect but it doesn't necessarily scream red flag to me
>>127981001yeah idk shit about identifying gibsons but that decal looks like it's on top of the finish. i thought all the gold gibson logos were silk screened? did they ever use slide decals?
>>127981001the decal is what threw me off immediately. also the fact that the serial is very visible people say it's supposed to be more obscured because its usually finished over top of but it seems to check out. listing just says 2003 Gibson SG.
>>127981018gibson frequently uses decals on the lower end modelshonestly the fact that the headstock finish is pretty shit points to it being legit, as the early 2000s were far from their best work
>>127980954I don't care to imitate Celtic reels verbatim. I also don't send smoke signals to contact other members of my tribe. >without deviation from the norm, progress is impossible.I listen to reels all the time. I am actually looking at my fiddle/mando repertoire books as we speak. But doing my best Leo Kottke used to pay the bills when I literally lived on the street and busked from Key West to Blaine, WA (look it up). I had a family friend of Davey Graham's wife stop me when I played "Anji" in Olympia, WA to ask what I was playing. She told me I sounded really good. I'll take it as a notch on the bedpost.
>>127980934>>127981018here's my LP studio faded from 2006. the hardware looks exactly right (I replaced my tuners) but at least for the LPs they used a silkscreen for that era. the off center "made in USA" is spot on accurate to mine though.
>>127981078nigga, calling what you posted "celtic" means you haven't fucking heard a jig or reel once in your goddamn life. it doesn't sound like celt rhythm guitarit doesn't sound like celt fingerstyleit doesn't sound like celt flatpickingit sounds like babby's first week fucking with dadgad after reading about it in a guitar magazine and not knowing what the fuck it is ever used for.
>>127981082interesting, thanks
>>127981104but it looks like other SGs from that era used decals?it could have just been a change that occured between 2003 and 2006 or it could be a difference between SG and Les Paul (as the LP would need two decals instead of one silkscreen)it looks legit to me, I don't see why there would be that much value in bootlegging an old guitar with a $700-$900 street value
>>127980986I'm in Ohio, saving up for a house in New Hampshire. I got into a fight with a meth'd out neighbor, so I'd be there now if he wasn't such a bastard (charges sealed as of this week).I met a few session cats in NYC, like the dude who played the bassline for "Maneater". The process, as explained by my friend who redid the *censored instrument* for an SNL dude, told me you have to go to "kiss the ring" events and you had to be a good "hang". You can guess the "nationality" of these people. These are the same people he plays with on the regular or schleps their equipment around (like musical moving gigs), or helps old musicians without health insurance clean their homes. Kind of sad end, as most of these dudes are like 50 and dying in a shit apartment.>As I said before, I'm running the clock for my daygig, which is more consistent than music. So, I have time to chat and bullshit while racking up that sweet sweet email job money. I'm focusing on composition now, working on piano pieces. I literally played every single chord in the Real Book IN ORDER to learn all the jazz voicings, but my next project is to play solo piano at those pianos they have around New England (there's a map - https://pianos.pub/world), and finagle some gigs. >I'd be fine with a topless harem that gathers around the old piano...I might even do the old folks home circuit, which I got tipped off to from a gig in Ogunquit. Apparently, you can play these places for $100/hr - not a bad gig and they're flush with money. Hell, I got the gig in Ogunquit busking there, and then we played one of the most goddawful gigs in my life (hungover, too). After I thought the gig was a travesty, this smiling woman came up to and handed me a business card. cont.
>>127981145>cont.We would have done that besides play the cruise ship herd in Portland or deal with the fags on Provincetown, but we had a trip to Europe (lived in London/Manchester with housing from these dudes we picked up on the way to a gig in Youngstown, OH). I'm sure it's still viable.Ok, I gotta shower and do another shift for $$$. I'm sorry this is long>>127981101I'm gonna need to hear you play to show me the errors of my ways. I wasn't flatpicking; those are thumbpicks. The mostly Celtic thing is that its in Dorian/Mixolydian. I prefer James Blackshaw more than the old dudes at the pub gathered uncomfortably in the corner.I dunno, Jansch ain't doing it too straight either:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex9t8PJzUbY&list=RDex9t8PJzUbY&start_radio=1
I like playing metal and want to get a guitar specifically for metal. I'm thinking of getting a BC rich ironbird mk1 legacy for about $1300 in black. My only "problem" with it is that it's made in India... is this a valid concern?
>>127981237I would never buy anything made in India, much less a guitar.
>>127981252ESP LTD Sammy Duet SD-2 it is then
>>127981138very interesting. i wonder why they chose to do this when they already have the silk screen machines. maybe they know something i don't but waterslide decals are such a pain in the dick
>>127981237>>127981260do you have experience setting up and living with floating trems?I wouldn't personally fuck with one unless you really enjoy tinkering with shit or have had some experience with one before. There's plenty of good resources on line to dial one in, but your first string change will be a bit of a bear, especially if you do not have the tools to properly block it off and or if the intonation is not perfect from the factory (or you change string gauge).
>>127981283probably came down to a time study of if it was faster to run both SGs and les pauls on the same silkscreen line with a changeover for the removal of the les paul script vs getting a couple of people who were fast with waterslides to do all the SGs. although I'm not sure if gibson even bothers with lean manufacturing in the first place
>>127981285>do you have experience setting up and living with floating trems?No I do not. I have money, I can have a tech set it up for me. I just love the shape of the guitars, the floyd rose, and they're just so iconic to me. Trey Azagthoth is my idol
>>127980934The Gibson emblem looks the same on my mattenitro finished J-45.
>>127981312I'd still recommend you at least learn the basics so you don't have to go in to see the tech every time you break a string.
>>127981321Fair enough, I can do some research into it. Now back to the made in India question.....
>>127981370india or indonesia? indonesia isnt awful but india...
>>127981381Indiahttps://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/bc-rich-ironbird-mk1-legacy-with-floyd-electric-guitar"Crafted in India" on the back of the headstock
I know bar chords and open chords. I know scales. Im too lazy to understand arpeggios and how to move horizontally in the fretboard.What genres or how can I fake playing guitar without pushing much further?
>>127981391i've never had an indian guitar sorry m8. the good news is you can fix everything except a twisted neck
>>127981392just play with more feeling and make better melodies out of what you already know
>>127981391poke around and check reviews. I have a MIJ guitar, a made in US guitar, a chinese guitar and an indonesian guitar. QC on the indonesian is the worst of the lot, but 100% serviceable.
>>127980928mark 1s look the coolest, mark 2s sound the best, 3s are close enough and you can get them for a lot less sometimesi don't really know any of it.
