https://youtu.be/JXZIfT-bCqI?t=89How the hell do I do this fast? Whenever I do the bend on the 15th fret on the B string and then switch to the G string 14th fret bend, the 15th is still ringing out and it sounds poopy

>>128135606You bar the lower notes of the high e and b with your index finger and lift off the string after you’ve played it so it mutes. Use your index to touch bottom of the g string after the bend to mute it. I can’t really explain it man you just have to into muting and bending. This is why you should learn fundamentals before trying to play fast. Learn some chuck berry and other boomer blues.

>>128136414Ride the snake brother
>>128136159I just picked my guitar up and played it slow. I actually keep my finger barred on the b and e like I said but I reach up to catch the g with the tip of my index once I hit the full step bend and then bring the string back down with my index before I play the next note. I do it so fast and subconsciously that I’ve never thought about it.
>>128136474Catch and mute it and then let it come back down while muted. The note should end as soon you hit the the full bend. Unless you’re purposely letting it ring longer but I don’t think Kirk does that in this solo.

I am the only person who likes d'addario strings. Shame cause some of them are nice.
>>128137185nah nyxls are pretty nice
>>128137185i like their 11s. they hold tone for a long time
>>128137185I like em.
>>128137185Daddaaddadddarios are all I use unless for whatever reason my shop is out of stock. NYXLs or sometimes their coated strings.
I just like teles because of pages's tone off of Zep 1 and Johnny Greenwood.
>>128137208>Daddaaddadddarios are all I use unless for whatever reason my shop is out of stock. NYXLs or sometimes their coated strings.That's the good thing too. They're just everywhere and unlikely to be out of stock.
>>128137185I tried their half rounds on my jazzbox and they're honestly pretty solid
Bob Dylan 1964https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeP4FFr88SQ
>>128137228I tried the flats and they were fine, not thomastik but half the price and I got them off the rack. And their nylons are nice with the composite G string and stuff for other instruments and bass.>>128137194>>128137200>>128137207>>128137208I'm surprised, i usually don't hear anything good, but I guess /gg/ stays out of being poor or too hipster.
>>128137208Nyxl’s are also what I use because they last forever and sound good. I was using Ernie ball slinky cobalts for a while because they were cheaper but I broke a couple strings and I hate changing strings
>>128137257The other cool thing is that they make things for practically every major instrument and then some. Electric, acoustic, classical, bass, ukes, banjos, violin, cellos, stand up bass, sax reed, drum skins, etc.. You could stick with them as the one stop shop.
>>128137167Yngwie makes the strat cool I'll admit. >>128137185I only ever played the cheapest daddarios. Never felt anything bad about them.
>>128137257You know people who talk shit about nyxl’s? May I ask why?
had those fret files come in yesterday. fret ends still feel a little scrapy but it's a lot better than what it washttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/w_kCJhmGXIQ
>>128137185all coated strings are dogshit. daddarrios are ok, ernie balls are shit. martin strings are surprisingly very good for acoustic and daddario doesn’t make anything as good as the martin monels. for bass strings, labella is the best. I seriously wouldn’t even consider putting any other brand of string on my bass
>>128137297Not the nyxls but everything else for guitar and bass. I will admit there are better (read: cheape, or actually better and fifth bux from germany) brands for standard use, but I don't have any of those guitars. They usually complain about the feel of the wound strings.

>>128137442Singles. I already got a couple of humbuckers so I'm planning on branching out. Always wanted a proper Tele, was considering a Schecter PT Special though that one is a bit too pricey, and CVs were on my radar for a while. I love the white 50s one but the thinline looks really cool too. Then recently I got hooked on the LP special with p90s. It looks great, sounds amazing and it shot to the top of my list easily. I'm more than likely gonna get both eventually but I just can't decide which one I should go for first. I've never really played singles or p90s so I have no idea which ones would be more useful to get first as well.

>>128137425Hard choice. I love both my Teles and Special. I don’t think you’ll go wrong with either. Since you’ve said you don’t have either single coils or P90s I’d lean toward the Tele, plus the CVs are really great and with a Tele there’s a lot less to fiddle with or need to tweak. I’d want both. A good upgrade for both would be saddles on the Tele and an intonated bridge on the Special but also both would be fine stock IMO

list of Fender guitars that count as real Fenders:StratocasterTelecasterJazzmasterP BassJazz Bassmade in America only
>>128138349racisthttps://voca.ro/1cF5W8lurWgD
>>128138349pre CBS only completely stock only unless owned by famous musician
>>128138349Telecaster and pj bass. All others can go
>>128138349None of that matters. Once they sell out and start producing Chinese shit the whole company loses it's magic. Fender was replaced by Suhr many years ago, which is a California company doing what fender would be doing if the corporate shits hadn't gotten control of the company.
pre CBS fender became music man and then G&L but now they are shutting down and real fender is dead.Kalamazoo Gibson became Heritage but they have been making more guitars in east asia recently.

>>128137116I was watching Pasquale Grasso play and I had to look up if he plays short scale guitars (he apparently doesn’t) because his hands look fuck-huge on the neck. I remember watching a live performance of Iron Maiden and thinking that Dave Murray made the strat look like a Fisher-Price toy, mainly because of his comfort and command of the instrument, I guess, and not so much because of size. I don’t feel inadequate about the size of my own hands, however.
>>128137116Get a smaller guitar if it mattered that much jesus

Will I ever get better at playing guitar?It's such a frustrating experience, I've been stuck in the mediocre plateau (beginner+/intermediate-) for so many years.
>>128139455the schizo won
>>128137117nice, got the full version?>>128139479Can't get better if you've been doing the same things as before. Jump headfirst to a cliff (musically), learn a song that is difficult for you. You'll improve your technique, ear and it will give you musical ideas that you wouldn't have tought of before. Then on to the next one. If you're at the point where learning songs are too easy try writing your own, that's a different beast.
>>128137586i look like that and do that
>>128139701Sound advice. But I'm not even satisfied with the way I play... it sounds so hesitant.For instance, I've written and recorded this, lately: https://vocaroo.com/18pWZ6W7PK4sIt sounds pretty basic and uninteresting.Any idea what I might jump headfirst at to improve?
>Buy Champion 100>Use clean channel bc it's supposed to sound like a Twin>makes my DS-1 and Dookie Drive both sound boxy and shitty>use the model channel>every model sounds like shit with my pedals>go back to playing my dying Frontman 10g because it actually sounds okaywhat the fuck do I do? Do I just bite the bullet and get a Katana 100 watt? Which amp will make my pedals not sound shitty and compressed?
https://voca.ro/1mWK2KXcolSh
>>128139761
>>128139701No, I literally just wrote that 2 minutes before I recorded and posted it. and I meant to play open e 22 instead of 020 so an e5 on the first part after the octaves, it sounds better. I should turn it into a full song even though it’s not really a genre I would play or write for in an original band. Feels like it needs to be pop punk or something.
Right now I need a fucking 12v battery for my Prius because it won’t charge over 11.9v even after driving for 10 hour straight without shutting it off. So yeah that’s why it’s throwing low voltage o2 sensor codes and sometimes running like shit if I shut it off too much and let it dip below 11.6v. 140 at Napa. I only have to make 135 dollars today door dashing and I can get one tomorrow lol. Then I can finish writing the song.
>>128139761roll treble knob back
>>128139758Really can't make a comment on songwriting per se, it would be out of my reach as I haven't even written songs myself (that's why I say it's a different beast, while I still struggle at learning songs). Sounds a bit pop punk lite so if that's the style and genre you want to head into, you could do like >>128139773that anon did and cover the tracks and record all the parts, you'll get a glimpse on what makes those things sound more interesting compared to what you've written.As for the hesitant part I get that as well, sometimes it's just a matter of warming up for me - some etudes, exercises and noodling first; and getting away from being too self conscious and navel gazing about my inadequacies before I hit the record button. That's a heavy psychological barrier that even virtuosos admit to hitting sometimes, that the best playing they have done is when they get out of their own way and not overthink things.Some playing feedback is you can play in time better, bend into pitch better, work on vibrato. Also I have a feeling that you sound like that is that you don't know the fretboard well yet, getting stuck with phrases or licks that are pretty attached to the chord position. If you learn the fretboard better - all positions, vertical playing, horizontal playing you'd feel more confident and less hesitant in executing what you want in the moment because you know the road where you are at. That shit never ends beause even if you're confident in playing a boomer blues I IV V in a generic pentatonic way, the same chord progression will be danced upon very differently by someone proficient in jazz or bluesgrass.>>128139826Sounds cool man keep at it, sounds like a seed for something that would turn out well.
Me? Well, my main guitar is an Epiphone Wildkat... but my favorite brand is Reverend. I use GHS Boomers. For amplification, I rely on my Crate Blue Voodoo. The seashell necklace is kinda my thing, like Hendrix had the hat. I don't wear boots though. I dance when I play, and these Airwalks have good grip on the stage which can get slick with my sweat when I gig

>>128140663hi gay im dad
>>128135525I mean, I suppose you know you literally only need to learn how the major scale works and its shapes, right? Seriously, you literally need ONLY that to understand chords, keys, all modes and the pentatonic. Jesus, this is so easy man! I can not believe how faggots here and there are stubborn enough to refuse to learn such basic theory. You are making a fool of yourself if you are being filtered by it.
>>128140179Unironically just checked my battery at the gas station and it reread 9,9 volts I have no idea how the car is still running. It’s dead dead. But at least it jumps up to 14.5 with the hybrid battery on so as long as I keep the car on it shouldn’t die on me today. I’ve made 15 dollars so far lol.
>>128140966I know the major scale. I knew pentatonics before that. I know a lot of chord shapes. But I'm still not sure I've utilized it in all the ways you're saying. I'm still just winging it dude.
>>128140969probably shouldve got the new battery first huh
>>128141026Uhh well I spent all my money on the car, insurance and registration. I am door dashing to afford to repair it. So yeah. If it breaks down I have roadside coverage and my mom will loan me the money to get the battery. I’m sure she’ll loan me what I’m missing tomorrow. But Napa closed yesterday at noon and they don’t open until tomorrow morning. Their price is half of what other places are charging. 140 dollars and it’s almost as high of cold cranking amps as the premium one, just with less of a warranty. I need to look into what Toyota would charge at the dealership on Monday because supposedly they have them for 180, but I don’t know what their install fee is, and they come with a 7 year warranty. If install is less than 50 I will buy one at the dealership. The good news is my charging system is fine so it’s ok to run the car and it just sits on the hybrid battery (which was replaced less than a year ago) when I park it. Basically like having the engine off. The owner of the car who sold it to me took it to 3 places including a dealer that couldn’t figure this out and thought it was just an oxygen sensor malfunction that needed an ecu flash to get rid of the code. But I figured it out because I did extensive troubleshooting over the last week and realized the batter was never charging over 11.9 volts which is sending low input voltage signals to the downstream o2 sensor that has to go all the way through from the trunk to the engine and back to the catalytic converter. So even though the battery tests “good” it doesn’t have a capacity high enough to make the car run as it should and the ev battery has to constantly charge it to maintain proper voltages while it’s on. Which causes ecu codes and lower gas mileage. Anyway battery is the best possible outcome because the sensor would have cost 350 with parts and labor /blog
>>128137185I only use NYXL's
>>128140864>When I try to experiment it just sounds like a blind and deaf man doodling.That's normal for us mortals. It takes time to learn the sound of a chord scale/mode/tonality, the mental aspect of having those sounds familiar and the physical aspect of just memorizing and muscle memory. There was a time dorian was very alien to me as I was used to the natural minor's minor 6th than dorian's major 6th. There's many ways to visualize and learn the fretboard. You could go CAGED then the related pentatonic shapes within, vertically moving positions starting with each scale degree so that makes 7,there's this guy's way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29c4v9CQuVA which used to be 6 but as he got older he consolidated it to 5, Paul Gilbert's moving octave "boxes" diagonally, Tom Quayle who relates to everything as intervals based on a root note anchor.. Allan Holdsworth's four notes per string.. that's just off the top of my scrub head I'm sure there's more. Check out Rick Graham https://youtu.be/EaNex_vaixo?t=5876that's a workout there and enough material to chew on for months.If you're sticking with at best two positions it might just be a function of the music (say lots of old blue's rock really reside on that common pentatonic box shape) or a lack of familiarity, or that the timbre and ease of playing is more suited to that area of the neck (there's 6 E4's on a 24th fret guitar and obviously only one E4 on the piano)Even if you're not into shredding the mechanics of learning the fretboard alone helps unlock alot, like constructing chords, voicings, etc etcTo get better at guitar it's really a balance of finding enjoyment in what you play to keep playing and the tortuous struggle in learning new material that's out of your comfort zone technically and musically.
some bossa nova type thing im learning, thought it would be interesting to do something other than rock for a changehttps://voca.ro/19gijjGGQYRH

>>128141439I was trying some licks out using the methods you've described. I think the switch flipped. I felt locked in. My girlfriend asked if I was playing some new Alan Holdsworth recording. I said uh huh but it was actually me. Thanks and all the best.

>>128141439Kinda overwhelming, especially since there are so many systems and so many teachers for every system. But one has to start somewhere. I remember getting confused by the whole CAGED system years ago because honestly I just use powerchords and basic pentatonic. I'll look into this seriously.>To get better at guitar it's really a balance of finding enjoyment in what you play to keep playing and the tortuous struggle in learning new material that's out of your comfort zone technically and musically.You're speaking gold. But damn is it indeed a frustrating experience.
The fluorescent lights of the Guitar Center buzzed, a harsh counterpoint to the low, anxious rumble in Kaelen's gut. He was a striking figure, even among the endless rows of polished wood and shiny chrome: a cascade of dark, shoulder-length hair framed a chiseled jaw and intense, sea-green eyes. The fitted t-shirt he wore stretched taut across a broad chest and powerful biceps, hinting at a life spent between the gym and the recording studio. But beneath the surface, he was battling a storm.Irritable Bowel Syndrome was a cruel beast, a silent, unpredictable partner in his life. Today, it was screaming. He’d barely made it through the door, his focus entirely consumed by a spiraling anxiety about the nearest restroom. The air conditioning did nothing to cool the sweat beading on his forehead. Every few steps, a sharp, twisting pain shot through his abdomen, making him wince.He was here for new strings, but the universe had other plans. In the acoustic room, a vintage Gibson J-200 hung on the wall, its sunburst finish glowing under a dedicated spotlight. Kaelen had always wanted to play one. The urge was a powerful, all-consuming thing, a need to channel the physical discomfort into something beautiful, something external."Hey, can I check this one out?" he asked a passing sales associate, his voice tight.The associate, a young guy with an unimpressed look, eyed Kaelen's obvious distress. "Sure, man. Careful with it."Kaelen took the guitar, cradling it like a lifeline. He found a small, empty corner near the amps section, away from the main traffic. The moment his fingers touched the fretboard, something shifted. The pain didn't vanish, but it was muted, a background hum as the music took over.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let the first chord ring out.It wasn't a showy, technical piece. It was slow, a bluesy, soulful melody that felt ancient and raw. He picked a delicate, intricate pattern, each note resonant and clear. The music flowed through him, an honest translation of the anxiety and pain he was feeling. He bent a note, holding it until it trembled with emotion, his whole body swaying slightly to the rhythm.He was lost in the sound, pouring every ounce of his being into the wood and wire. The world narrowed to the vibration against his chest and the sound filling the room. He didn't notice the few scattered shoppers who had stopped what they were doing to listen. They were drawn by the sheer emotional honesty in his playing, a soulful blues that seemed to come from a much older, more experienced place. He played for five minutes, maybe ten, an impromptu, unplanned performance that felt necessary for survival.When he finally brought the last chord to a soft, lingering fade, he opened his eyes. A small group of people was watching him, a few nodding in silent appreciation. The sales associate who had given him the guitar was standing nearby, a genuine smile on his face.The abdominal pain, while still present, was no longer a debilitating scream. It was a manageable ache. Kaelen let out a long, shaky breath he hadn't realized he was holding. He had made it through. He had transformed his suffering into art.He carefully re-tuned the guitar and handed it back to the associate. "Thanks, man," Kaelen said, a true, relieved smile touching his lips."Dude," the associate said, shaking his head slightly in admiration. "That was something else. You should play more often."Kaelen just nodded, grabbed his new strings, and walked toward the register. He still needed to find the restroom, but the world felt a little brighter now. He’d faced the storm and, for a few minutes at least, he had played through it.

>he doesn't understand the concept of listening to music Are these people serious?
>>128143620Sadly yes. They see and feel the world very differently. It's your job to love them. If you can. It's all about the music.
>>128143620Maybe post your own playing or if you post someone else's playing, leave a thoughtful comment with your opinion on the GUITAR or BASS in the music you post, rather than just posting a wall of music you like, one post at a time. But you're being insincere.

warning, AI generated stuffhttps://vocaroo.com/1nEkmMsfTS46I've been obsessed lately with phrygian dominant stuff. I'm looking for "inspiration" to write some leads. I really liked the last 20 sec of whatever the AI generated. Obviously, it was also "inspired" by someone. any recommendation for similar stuff?
>>128144200I don’t understand the fascination with rosewood teles. Is it just because of Harrison or do people actually fantasize about owing a 13 pound cbs era fender?

Kinda sad if you think about it.>>128144378Pretty amazing, it barely sounds midi like. If I wasn't pre warned I might have mistaken it as human. With all the digital stuff and VSTs these days you'd think it was an intentional effect. Enterprising Giaccomo Tura types are gonna make a living out of these in the future. Dunno much about metal and phyrgian makes me think Malmsteen (though he's more harmonic minor usually), maybe stuff from Alex Skolnick?

>>128144549I got the impression that maybe Holdsworth used the 4 note per string thing as an exercise in fretboard visualization, chunking larger portions of the fretboard to memory, and preparing position shifts, but when it came to actually playing, he would generally use the 3nps thing.
>>128145044remastered a little cause i didn't like the peaks or how it was warbling. I wasn't trying to play anything or keep time just testing toans. Still not really sure what I'm doing with mastering. https://vocaroo.com/1bMQvflRSO6H

Is Amouranth a good guitar player?
>>128145419You'rw coming across as boring. Stop interacting with me I like that. Do you understand? You offer me nothing when you are like this. You only say negative and offensive things, in my opinion. Are you ok? Normal people don't react like you currently are. Do better. I'm currently practicing music. What are you doing? Oh wait, I don't care what you do. Just leave me alone. I wish nothing but the best for you. It's not your fault.
>>128145608> it's not your faultStopped reading there
See what I mean
>>128145608you only deserve to hear negative things because you’re very obnoxious
>>128145695No, the point is is that you are making an effort to be negative. That is the point. I'm not obnoxious. I don't think about you at all. What's going on here? Practicing my tremolo picking rn. Any other question friend?
>>128145739I find spamming off-topic posts very negative. what’s your excuse for doing that when there’s zero engagement? that’s my question
Is muting string with my picking thumb during leads retarded?
>>128145784muting the strings with the meat of your thumb is very common and fine, the knuckle of your thumb or very close to the pick is a bit unorthodox and probably limiting on overall technique
>>128145748I don't care. We don't live in the same world. Leave me alone please. All, the best, friend.
>>128137739Yeah both is definitely the goal eventually. I'm still on the fence on which to go for. Kinda leaning towards the LP cause it'll be much more comfortable to play while standing since the Tele doesn't have an arm contour or anything and from playing a Benton Tele, I'm really missing that. Also I keep getting pulled by the Schecter PT Special, I just love the look of that guitar, plus it has the contour. It's not THE Telecaster but it's close enough and with all the bonus features it's really worth getting. It's twice the CV's price though. I'll be thinking lots about it, gonna be a few months til I'll be getting any of them.

>>128144489They look great and only the original ones were heavy, nearly every once made since has been chambered.
>>128144985but malmsteen said.. kek but thanks and thanks for the tip. I felt compelled to shit out more notes as the clip felt short.>>128145184Probably yeah, only Holdsworth would really know. I read somewhere on the internet that he hated doing that REH video, dunno how true is that but his peers did say he was humble to the point of self-deprecating. If anything that vid teaches some digestable Holdsworth better than Holdsworth did Holdsworth lol>>128145230Maybe the warbling was with the trem springs? Saw some vids where they put foam on the trem springs and behind the nut to eliminate sympathetic ringing during recording. I Thought the first one sounded a bit clearer with a bit less reverb, but I dunno I'm a bit ignorant myself. /prod/ was quite helpful thoughhttps://vocaroo.com/1ftB7fmC2fjohttps://vocaroo.com/16fGEUkbX1XoI tried less, then I tried more but both are still meh and uncalled for
