>>128199889My tune-o-matic/abr combo ate yet another d string 2nite after only about 9 weeks. Should I replace all the saddles with tusq, file them, or should I... undeck the abr stop-piece which I JUST noticed was completely decked? For right now I'm doing wraparound but the extreme angle on the stopbar freaks me out.
>>128199914turn the saddles around the right way
>>128199976that's a stock image for ref, but what is de right wey
>>128199914the flat side should face the neck to prevent buzzing, it probably has a burr on it and needs sanded, or stop using Ernie Ballsack strings >>128199886yeah the setups have all been good on the mia fenders I’ve tried, their value is just awful for what you get though. but so are a lot of $1500 Indonesian guitars, perhaps even worse value. Martin is also really bad for value up charging $300 for rosewood and like $2000 for hide glue, but I have a spiritual connection to my hd28 and the fit finish and setup are perfect so I can’t complain I guess

Martin is also really bad for value up charging $300 for rosewood and like $2000 for hide glue, but I have a spiritual connection to my hd28 and the fit finish and setup are perfect so I can’t complain I guessFair enough. I wish they didn't overcharge for some of the stuff you see on the Ultras specifically, but I don't really care about getting one in the first place. You can see the odd markup difference within Fender's own companies. Jacksons and Charvels often have ebony fretboards, but they're not marked up. Some of the higher end Jacksons have stainless steel frets, ebony, much better pups (active fishmans), but they're still cheaper than Ultras. That all said, if I'm going to get a regular Strat or Tele, I don't care to get anything else but a Fender. I'll get other brands when I like their own designs.

>>128200174>last sentence well said. I was also looking at boutique dreadnoughts but found a Martin model that literally had all the specs I wanted and was $1500 cheaper so I went with that. really it’s all about the specs and if you like the looks of the guitar but it sure is nice when you can get it with the big name brand for a reasonable price
>>128199914>>128199987Screw the tailpiece all the way down and do the top wrap method of stringing (ala Billy Gibbons, Joe Bonamassa, Jimmy Page, Duane Allman, Zakk Wylde, Derek Trucks, and Jeff Beck), and set all the saddles facing the same way the treble ones are in the photo you posted
>real nigga ampsBoogieFriedmanBognerMarshallSoldano
>>128200351can’t afford a dumble?
>>128200339So deck the tail, and top wrap is fine? It's a jap clone tailpiece and the radius seems to be less than a dime, don't want more failures but about to try it.
>>128200369Of course I can, I'm just not gay
>>128199987Put the flat edge towards the nut and the sloping side to the tailpiece. The vibrating part of the string should have a definite length/stopping point, and the saddles or nut shouldn't gradually provide an anchor. They should slope back at both ends.
First for Gibson.
>>128200351Fender is an older amp company than they are guitars.. and practically the template for everyone else. All of those listed got their start as Fender modders.

dumb Pink Floyd song with sloppy playing and shitty singing, I can play guitar fine but I can’t sing and can barely sing and play at the same time but I’m trying to get better. fun is all that matters tho and playing and singing is fun https://voca.ro/139YjBL2fXtX
>>128201053oooooooooomraaaaaaaythis was better than I expected, nice
>>128201053bretty gud. if you’re having trouble singing and playing start with just humming the melody a few times
>>128200661True, but Fender's never made an amp with drive as buttery smooth as a Bogner.
>>128201053Cool but can you name the chords you’re playing? If you can’t and you’re just reading tabs then you’re gay.
>>128201053>Anon poasts pink floyd song>Rhett shull just did that pink floyd strat conversionI'm onto you rhett, I'm onto you
>>128201117I’m just trying to get better at singing in tune and singing and playing together. I’ve accepted that my voice is the way that it is and isn’t going to sound any better but that’s fine, I just play instruments in bands and don’t need to sing in front of people. Playing and writing is good enough>>128201286I’ll get slightly better with practice, this was just off the cuff after listening to Piper at work but anything more than a simple strumming rhythm while I sing I have to do it really slow>>128201382The chords in that song are just A A7 Bb7 C D E F and G, all simple chords. If anything fancier more intricate jazz jazz style chords/arpeggios and right hand rhythm and strumming patterns are what I’m best at on guitar, but when singing that all goes out the window and my hands revert to caveman mode >>128201393I mean I like PF but I much prefer earlier stuff with Syd Barrett and when Rick Wright sang more lead stuff. Waters and Gilmour are cool but that more 70s proggy PF sound isn’t my favorite. Also Rhett Schtool is lame and I hate his videos and videos of other guitar YouTubers in his same camp and style
>>128201595>I’ve accepted that my voice is the way that it is and isn’t going to sound any better but that’s fineWith the right music, even non-ideal vocals can sound good, I think.

rec some easy 7 string songs
>>128202895I don’t think any real music has been written on a 7 string
>>128202895You only need chords on a&d
>>128202922Every new guitar build trend (at least since 1990..maybe before that) is a solution looking for a problem.
>>128202637Cute cat will open voca when i get a moment
>>128202974um yeah gonna say based
>english racing green les paulsdamn that's a nice color
>>128203167yeah. seen some fenders like that. a revstar would be cool too. they got a green, but it's brighter.
Earlier today I was walking to guitar center. I hadn't eaten yet, so I stopped by a local discount store and bought a nice loaf of bread and some roast beef. It was extremely dry and hard to eat. After that I got the hiccups and it wouldn't stop so I went to a bar and had a long island ice tea to take the edge off. At this point the hiccups where gone. Went into the guitar center feeling pretty confident. Was going to see if I could get any attention playing a wolf mother song I just learned (ive only been playing a, month). I'm playing the song better than I ever have and feel myself enjoying my playing for the first time ever. Some guy with greased back hair, a thin mustache, and a white T-shirt tapped me on the shoulder. He looked like a real creep. "Uh, what year is it? Wolfmother? You guys hearing this haha". He started grabbing my head and said he was teaching me to headbang when all of a sudden this hulking lad walked in. You could feel the room get cold. The assailant froze where he was. It seemed like he knew him."60's Italian music, huh, pal? And your asking him what year it is?", I have no idea how he knew about the conversation that took place before he entered. "Lay off him creep, he's with me". The brute closed the distance in a flash and delivered a spinning back fist that sounded like a featherless duck being hit by a grapefruit out of a batting practice machine. The attacker was out cold. "That's not Mike Patton", he said. He peeled off the life like Patton mask. It was the singer from Wolf Mother. I didn't know what to think. The hulking brute said, "you ok, bro?". I said I don't know. He winked at me and walked out with a Gibson SG and I don't think he payed for it.

>>128203619sorry man I’d love to help but I don’t have any experience with this
instead of a million different studios and standard variations, Gibson should simplify their lineup and offer more gloss solid finish options>les paul special (humbucker or P90 option)>les paul studio (classic 90's specs)>les paul standard (50s neck, Kluson tuners)>les paul classic (60s neck, Grover tuners)>les paul custom>les paul modern>SG special >SG standard>SG custom >SG modern
>>128203876the modern should have a super slim neck, compound radius, locking tuners, comfort carve, access heel carve, stainless steel frets, active pickups and push pull knobs for coil splitting and tapping
>>128203876I agree
buying my first bass today, what's a good cheap amp to go with it? (mostly to play in my home i don't need anything crazy)
>>128203925katana go, you don't need an amp for playing at home
Fender's equally a mess with their lines. More than Gibson actually. I don't even know why they have the "Standard" now, when that's what the Player series already was.
>>128203876the custom shop should only be for reissues, signatures and made to measure
>>128203939Fenders lineup should be >MIM standard (same specs as player II but with 6 screw trem)>MIM reissues>American standard >American deluxe
>>128203958I liked the MIM deluxe guitars from the 2000's.
>>128203958That's what it was for the 00s. Then they just renamed Standard to Player and American Standard to Professional. Deluxe became Elite for awhile now it's Ultra. But they keep adding weird lines inbetween.
>>128203935looked it up, can i link it to my sound system speakers if i want to?
>>128203985Yes, just use an aux cable from the headphone out to your speakers. you can plug it into a phone or PC via USB to record
the vox amplug is cheaper but you don't have as many effects or amp models plus no USB or bluetooth connectivity.
>>128203998already got my focusrite for recording but thanks for the insights, mostly want to be able to play and have good sound without having to boot up my pc

>>128200045How do you like that new JCM800 pedal?Does it play nice with a fender amp?
>>128204151no actually, it doesn't. I wouldn't get it, it's a gimmick and way overpriced
>>128204184I guess Marshall will never make a pedal that surpasses the Gov'nuh.
fun fact: distortion pedals are retarded every practice amp since 1990 has a distortion pedal built in. the controls for it are gain, bass, mid, treble and it's right fucking there you dumb retardsonly use case for a distortion pedal is you're playing a corny dad amp like a princeton, and if that's the case my question to you is: what's it like being a gay retard?
>>128204261>only use case for a distortion pedal is you're playing a corny dad amp like a princetononly use case for a distortion pedal is if i want more distortion.
>>128204261true which is why you should always get a decent guitar and a great amp. cheap amps have terrible sounding distortion
>>128204308not really, my pawnshop Marshall MG10 sounds way better than a BOSS DS1 or a RAT with the stock built in distortion
>>128204305>only use case for a distortion pedal is if i want more distortion.no, that's an overdrive pedal. a distortion pedal through a distorted amp sounds like nigger piss dripping through a paper towel
>>128204261>mealbabby calling anyone a gay retardlmfao
>>128204329Let's hear it then. If it really sounds better than a RAT then you should have no problems making some great tone with it.
>>128204338at the end of the day they are all dirt pedals, stop tism sperging
you guys don't understand I'm the best player here. I'm the strat guy, look at the vocaroos featuring beautiful stratocaster playing from the years 2017-2023 when I retired, that was all me
>>128204440always love hearing about your glory days, granps
>>128203619I think they're good. I mean they're MIJ and you can hear how they sound, I really don't think there is anything bad about them. I wanted the Push and Pull distortion too but kinda broke so I couldn't get it and I think the one with the cute drawing has been sold out which sucks.
>be me>believe GNR solos and intros are the best>very complicated, with many notes, hard to play>play 'em>they sound like shit without everything else they have in a band like violins, pianos n' shiet>try to play Blues>it's simple, just a few notes>it sounds good alone>you don't even have to singWhat is this? Is it just me or the BLUES was the answer all along? What are some of the best blues compositions to learn?
>>128205394the blues sucksplay white music wig
>>128205394Stevie rays later stuff was bordering on funk. My favorite blues personally but I recommend digging into all of it. It’s a giant rabbit hole
>>128204440Can we hear some of them? There was a young strat or tele guy who was very good, he reharmonized some old songs and played lotsa harp harmonics a la Lenny Breau
>>128205394>>it sounds good alone>>you don't even have to singProbably why I play a lot of ambient stuff. Before I knew that's what it was exactly. I was just trying to fill space playing with one instrument a lot.
>>128201053Not bad dude >>128201595Same here man. My voice is more suited for like Green Day, third eye blind, smashing pumpkins style stuff. Like the kind of dry nasally tone that doesn’t sound great when the song calls for a full lush voice. Just play to your strengths and practice I’m sure people will enjoy it. At least you have some self awareness unlike the dudes that get up on open mic nights and butcher songs with cowboy chords and Scott stapp impressions the entire night.
Craig here. I've always wanted to go to school fo rmusic but I'm not that good at guitar, so the other day I was like maybe I'll try bass and go to school for that. Anyway, I recorded this bass improve on my phone, what are your thoughts? Do I have potential as a bass guy or should I just stick to guitar and work harder?https://voca.ro/12Eq7nmp5Ep0
>>128205394Slash has to be the most overrated guitarist of all time. He’s barely a mediocre level bar band guitarist yet Gen X act like he’s Eddie Van Halen.
>>128206004You have potential at neither, Craig. Some people don’t have musical abilities. You’re one of those people. I’m not going to be another person in your life that enables your delusions. Use your time and money learning something you’re capable of doing.
>>128203925update : it's done, got my Squier CV 70s J with a katana go, gave it a try and the effects are okay enough, still going to use my daw with Guitar Rig for recordings thoughbeitcan't wait to learn the bass proper>>128203935thanks for the recc anon
I have two tremolo springs in the back... is that why my strings go immediately out of tune when I've used the bar? Would inserting two more springs fix this?
>>128206004If your parents are loaded go ahead, you can be whatever you want. But there's no money in music, don't get into college debt for it. Just get a great tutor who will teach you the fundamentals of music and whatever instrument you want to play.>>128206087Is it a locking trem with a locking nut? Post pic of bridge and nut

Anons what are things you wished you started working on when you started guitar? I've been playing about half a year for at least an hour a day and idk if im doing it right. I've learned the open chords and can finally play barre chords but I dont play too many strumming songs because I've been learning fingerstyle songs, which I have a lot of fun with. Now I've been trying to get better with a pick and have been working on tremolo because I like black metal a lot. Lately I've been looking up scales and messing around with them until I can make a cool sounding riff/melody.
ive been playing on and off for like a decade and i still can't play anything decently well i'm pretty proficient technically and i understand some of music theory but i can't put any of it into use i probably can't play anything for 1 minute straight and i have no clue how do i do anything about it

>>128206004Music school isn't necessary for anyone unless they want to be a band director. No paid performance uses a degree as criteria for hiring, they just want to know if you can play. Your recording sounds pretty schizo.. so, you're probably going to struggle in school unless you're willing to change basically everything that you believe in regards to music
>>128206727What are you trying to play? Can you play through a song that you already know the bass line for?
>>128204261This take is rooted in poverty coping
>>128206004If you do it like I did, you do it to make connections. My friend who is a professional instrumentalist went to college upstate and played in Carnegie Hall. He also developed a coke habit when he mixed with the big city.
>>128206727Learning stuff and eventually technique by ear gave me the biggest measurable jumps in skill. It helps to pick a few guitars or types of playing and practice learning by ear for a couple years.
>>128206004This is unironically high art.
>>128207305Yeah, if you drop out of Berklee I did even with scholarships, it’s a scam. I did Jaco and Bach for my entrance exams, and they give you a ceiling of 3/7. Why? It’s a four-year school and you won’t have access to the better musicians (read: slaves) until you’re established. One teacher I had was a vodka drunk and a Scandinavian student turned to me in broken English “This class is $125 and he’s drunk.” Yeah, wow drop 2 and 4 voicings… revelatory.I did get mad pussy though.

>>128207456It wasn't out of place for Kurt, I guess.Probably not bad in general when standing up like that.
You actually want his songwriting brain, his playing can be aped by the average guitarist in current year
>>128207463Almost everyone still plays some variant of 60s gear except "metal" spergs who nobody gives a shit about...except other spergs.
>>128207363What level of exact are we talking here?The exact amps and pedals he used? Some if not most of that stuff probably don't exist anymoreSame era models? Will be difficult and costly, boutique amps and pedals cost an arm and a legModern recreations and reissues? Sure, probably wouldn't cost that much
>>128206581Non locking 2 post ok. I would lubricate the 2 screw posts, the nut, the string tree, move the strings to pic rel if you want the bridge to feel more stiff without buying and adding more springs. I would set it up to dive only and not floating. If you don't want to use the vibrato bridge you can block it with a shim of some sort, look up Eric Clapton. Doesn't have to be wood, could be a cut deck of cards.Why it doesn't go back to pitch could be1. Jaged worn out unlubricated posts that the bridge isn't returning to its initial position2. String at the non locked bridge dislocates and doesn't return to original position3. Friction at the roller string tree, 8/10 times it's a nut problem (poorly cut causing binding, unlubricated)You can DIY no need to spend on a tech, lotsa vids on YT.>>128206583I wish I learned how to read music. Would unlock lotsa things easier and if you want to go pro that's an advantage. But also develop your ear hand in hand with theory/reading. The latter parts just make audiation guided and easier.
>>128207490He's 20 years better than you
>>128207363his pedals were hand built prototypes, his guitars were right handed but strung lefty, so the string tension and pickup dynamics were differet.his amps are probably the easiest to get

Or better some greasing lubricant. You can also try teflon tape on the nut, about 2 layers. Though it's not gonna look good. I used to use petroleum jelly on the nut and other friction parts.

>>128204037would the special stay flat top, inherit the carve top of the studio, or would you kill off the studio altogether? imo the custom is the sexiest LP (in ebony or white).
>>128206008slash is pretty good at writing simple melodies (this is actually hard). good example of how less is more, but he's no shredder like people make him out to be and frequently gets dunked on by house musicians when he has a gooter battle with some rando from the house band on whatever late night show he shows up on.
>>128208558Good thing music isn't a sport. Lets see all of these guys make a timeless Sweet Child level riff. I wish I pulled something out like that.
>>128208558Problem is I’m not convinced slash wrote anything in GnR and their songs were still barely passable. I think Izzy wrote all the hits and slash definitely had help in the studio with his parts and solos. The stuff he did on velvet revolver is pretty atrocious. I think most people just identify with his image and the time period and associate him with being a guitar god because it’s the consensus among normies. He’s not terrible but he’s drastically overrated and Gibson should be ashamed for making a dozen plus signature models of his over the years.
>>128208627Oh, pic not related. I was gonna say I can't stand the "big ass" look on PRS 24s. I mean the space from the bridge to the bottom is huge. Les Pauls are like that too, but that got that two piece apparatus that obscures it. All offsets are like this too.
>>128208636By the way I was vastly under exaggerating his signature models. He has 34. Nobody needs 34 signature models.
>>128208646PRS do not look good in solid colors at all. It’s like that old saying that clothing with horizontal pinstripes make fatties look slimmer or something.
>>128208627See a LP with a wrap around one piece has a big ass too.I guess these are the big booty pawgs of guitars.
>>128208627writing an iconic, simple melody is incredibly hard. you notice this with modern slop cinema where every movie has a massive list of unique soundtracks that you don't remember any of after the film (likely because they used temp music during filming then scored afterwards). not saying he's a genius, and I think GnR is 200% overrated, but they do have way better melodies for a lot of songs (that are memorable) than 90% of bands will ever write.>>128208636this might be true (idk much about GnR really at all) but slash did help revive gibson's image (particularly the LP) and push sales after a massive period of stagnation during the superstrat and pointy guitar eras (even if his guitar wasn't a real gibson lmao). the les paul was purely seen as the boomer guitar in that era, and he and put it back in the spotlight again. he's arguably the main reason they were able to sell to gen X thru gen Y at all, so he deserves a little treat.
>>128208696I just learned that Grover Jackson didn't actually have much to do with Jackson guitars. Like he already sold it in the 80s. And he had went to places like Dean and designed stuff for them. Including Dime's guitar.

I had an opportunity to get an epi "inspired by" gibson acoustic at 20% off recently but the neck felt like absolute doo-doo and put me off
>>128209146slim necks are slimply better
>>128209057Nice. Love Jerry's side projects. Check out his album with Tony Rice. Called "The Pizza Tapes". Has David Grisman on mandolin. Here's my version of long black vale from that album. Can't do slide right now, busy. Stay chill, Mr. Slime.https://voca.ro/17kniafksMZI

>>128209239I got my first compound neck/compound radius this year and tbf it just makes sense, needs getting used to but it is just so damn comfortable to play and noodle on.Only improvement would be a hybrid C/V neck like on the new PRS chleo's with the c on the top side and v on the bottom side for better fret access.

>>128206008He's good. He can keep an idea going for a long time without fucking up or getting stale (matter of taste, honestly, but I mean he can keep an improv going without repeating himself too much) and he tends to play stuff that is appropriate for the song.
>>128206442Know how to play the rhythm part.
you just know there was a bunch of people that bought les paul classic on clearance when they discontinued them who replaced the truss rod cover with a standard one and put covers on the pickups then sold them as standards for an extra $1k

>>128210120My guitar PMI prof told me that after a while the strings lose their intonation after a little while, but idk how he expects me to buy new flats every month. I just boil my strings every few weeks until they break
>>128210342Cum on them and let it set for a few minutes then wipe off. Much cheaper.
>>128208500Sorry you can't play
>>128210375Huh, never heard of that before. I better run this by him to confirm if that’s where the toan is
>>128210342intonation is a meme unless you’re a microtonal perfect pitch autist or comping with a piano imo
>>128210412To be fair, when one of the strings is perfectly in tune it’s quite a bit flat, to the point that when I share a melody with a piano it’s quite noticeable. But that’s also cause I’m a retard and haven’t set up my bridge in 2 years
I I have 260 in guitar center credit and idk what to do with it
>>128210456piano isn’t tuned exactly the same way a guitar is and that’s a piano problem not a guitar problem. I had the same problem on all my basses with new or old strings except it was a lot worse because it was really loud tones in the lower octave. the dissonance literally shook the house kek. if you look it up the open strings on guitar are standard 440hz ratio tunings but pianos is like 4-8hz different
>>128210476Speaker upgrades
>>128210511Full grands don’t use 440? Huh, never knew. I should still stop being a lazy bastard and intonate it since it’s still flat regardless
>>128210634Also becomes noticeable when playing octaves since I do it a lot like the Wes glazer I am
>>128210511what? is that a standard for pianos to be tuned differently? a friend of mine has a piano and I have to tune to 336 hz to play alongi don't need to retune when playing together with a electric piano
>>128210683idk what piano fags are doing but sometimes you’ll find them in 442hz, 432hz or equal temperament tuning. not a problem on its own but when you take into account the imperfect intonation of a stringed instrument with vertical frets, the stacked tolerances become noticeable. it actually wouldn’t be that big of a deal if piano niggers could stay out of other peoples registers but they just literally can’t control themselves
>>128210762and i meant 436 hz obv lol
>>128210762I can’t help but feel like your frustration comes from experience, never thought I’d say I’m curious about piano tunings now. Thanks for the kek
>>128210825lol np. I play bass in a 3 piece jam band, bass drums piano. it’s fun because it’s basically purely unrestricted improvisation but I have to fight to get away from the piano player a lot. if I play roots or fifths I typically can’t hear myself, doubly worse if we’re both playing through bass amps. been learning guitar for about 4 months tho. I really don’t get it though they have 7 octaves but just want to be on top of everyone all the time
>>128210868It’s all about listening to each other rather than just yourself, so maybe it’s just him? I’ve only had that happen in my high school jazz band with this younger girl who replaced the previous pianist (who didn’t have that problem) for my last year. Maybe talk to him about it since you’re range is a lot more limited, but maybe don’t call him a nigger
>>128210762>sometimes you’ll find them in 442hz, 432hz or equal temperament tuningsorry but you really have no clue what any of these terms mean

Well guys I’m on my way to return my white charvel to guitar center because the nigger mechanic I took my car to broke my exhaust manifold working on it and now my car doesn’t run and it’s going to cost an additional 700 dollars to fix. I don’t know if I can sue him or cha e.g. e my card back once it’s done but I’m fucking pissed. I already had him doing 2k in suspension and sensor work and the nigger broke another 700 dollars in shit. And basically I’m fucked and has to pay him. So much for his perfect 5 star rating on Google and clean shop. Don’t know when I’ll be able to afford another guitar. I’m not returning my stadium xl or power cab though fuck that. I’ll just have to buy some cheap piece of shit PRS se with my door dash money in a week or two.
>>128211133DIGITS CONFIRM>MAXIMUM CHILL:-> ACHIEVED
>>128211365is this realyou talk shit on everyone in /gg/ when you can’t afford $700 and unironically door dashplease be real
>>128211390>expecting anything less from the self-described "best guitarist in /gg/"
>>128211340this might get some raggedy ass 60s hippie to put out, but not a modern art hoe
>>128211390many such cases buying a crustom shop guitar on credit l. Never buy a guitar to impress /gg/
>>128211186it's not a high level concept at all, which makes your misinformed babbling all the more retarded
>>128211429I didn’t. I bought it cash. I also paid this mechanic 2000 dollars already and he broke the fucking manifold replacing a 200 dollar sensor.
>>128211445>here’s why you should believe me _______have you ever been able to articulate a single thought in your life? all you need to understand about having two instruments in tune with eachother is how dissonant notes are when they move closer and farther away from eachother
>>128211429I don’t think anyone in /gg/ is who is buying custom builder guitars is doing it on credit. The guys who have expensive gear in /gg/ all appear to be put together with property and all that adult stuff.
>>128211477Yes, but I still finance because guitar center and sweetwater give you free rewards or an extra 5% off.
>>128211467I'm not going to give you a crash course in tuning theory, I suggest you take look at the basic definitions of equal temperament, stretched octaves, intonation, consonance/dissonance, the harmonic series and intervals before you continue embarrassing yourself and misinforming other people though.
>>128211523I finance everything at 48 months 0% because inflation and guaranteed COLA raises on my income makes the guitar cost less proportionally the longer I can extend a 0% loan
>>128211477I just didn’t expect to take a RUNNING car in for suspension work and an o2 sensor in and have the fucker call me at 4pm saying that the car no longer runs because he stripped the manifold threads and dongle pulling the old sensor out and it’ll be another 700 dollars to get it running again. And then he has the nerve to complain about having to work on a Saturday when it’s his shop and he’s the one who fucked my car up. You would think the guy wouldn’t have kept trying to get the sensor out if it was stuck and would have told me it needed a new manifold before he rendered it inoperable. For the love of fuck it was a single high pass voltage error on the sensor and the dealer even said it ran fine and it passed all vacuum and electrical tests. All I wanted was the engine code to clear and not come back.
>>128211530I noticed you still didn’t say anything despite typing a whole paragraph. Sounds like you’re not confident enough to back up what you’re talking about

>>128211546>intonation is a meme>open strings on guitar are standard 440hz ratio tunings>idk what piano fags are doingif, by your own admission, you don't have a clue, why proceed to try and explain it? All the answers are in the terms I've provided, I'm not going to spoon feed you lil bro
>>128211530Just reading this post makes me feel overwhelmed
>>128211637Then don't worry about it, just ignore the retard who was originally replying to you, fix your intonation as best you can (it is in fact not a meme) and continue trusting your ears
>>128211617Intonation is a meme when playing by yourself. guitars are tuned to 440hz typically. you never know what you’re getting into with an acoustic piano. You don’t know when or how it was tuned and something that is 800 pounds of wood is going to be affected by seasonal changes. Stringed instruments with vertical frets are imperfectly intonated by design so you’re going to have bum notes somewhere even when you tune to the piano you’re playing with. all notes become less dissonant the farther apart they are in register. I know everything you claim and more and went into 1000x more effort than you did and deserve. you can stop posting now
>>128211637that happens when you have non-arguments based on out-of-context overgeneralizations. notice how he continues to say nothing or make any effort to better the community around him. these are the type of people you don’t want to make friends with because they’ll be the ones smoking meth in the trailer park asking you for a ride to blow their next dealer claiming about how society kept them down
>>128211708>>128211784you continue to suggest to this person that intonation is a meme while badly explaining concepts of tuning theory that you barely grasp, and are of little relevance to a beginner anyway, how are you 'helping the community'? at least I'm trying to save them from listening to false information

>>128211902If you’re referring to me as being financially irresponsible I mean not totally. I am disabled and door dash part time I just don’t have that much money period. I’m going to see what guitar center has in stock for used stuff. Maybe they’ll have a nice PRS se or revstar. A Mexican tele would be fine too. I need 3 guitars to gif with anyway. So whatever I’ll save and get another pro mod plus (not in white) after Christmas. Had the nigger not made my car inoperable I could have just saved to get the manifold done in a couple weeks. Just a bad situation.
>>128211967If I can still get the 20% off used stuff promo I might look at their used gear but most likely I’ll just take whatever I have left and look on marketplace near me for the next couple weeks until the stadium xl comes in.
>>128211929Depends on what you already know. If you’re a beginner literally every episode of Absolutely Understand Guitar is worth watching.

>>128213602What kind of white was it? They also do Olympic type of Whites, which is nicer for guitars than plain white, I think.
Speaking of white, I want this MIJ.
>>128214322Looks nice. Aerodyne?
>>128214336No, apparently called a Modern..and it's alder unlike the Basswood Aerodynes. Doesn't seem any different than the Aerodyne design though. But the only white Aerodyne doesn't have hums.
>>128214322Look into the Japanese Squier Contemporary line from the 80s, good deals can be had on those as long as the seller isn’t trying to be a Japan price Jew.
>>128214391I'm perusing them now, but they seem a little like Charvels. These Aerodynes and Moderns have binding. Maybe I'm not searching correctly.
>>128214391Nta, but I have an 80’s Squire MiJ. It’s pretty solid.
>>128214453The aerodynes are really great. On reverb they were on clearance a year or two ago from a ton of sellers and I regret not picking one up then. Still they can be had for like $500-$700 used and they’re really slick guitars for that money.
>>128214734Yeah, I still see reasonable prices. I just want hums and a white one since I have an oldschool Strat. I guess I could just put hot rails on one...
Can’t stop won’t stophttps://voca.ro/1nkpExzZVnJA
>>128214768Maybe a Jim Root signature Strat? HH and white, expensive but there’s a $1600 used one on reverb right now. If you’re not dead set on white and don’t mind some modding the older MIM Tom Delonge signature Strats are great modding platforms. Factory they’re just a bridge humbucker and just a single volume knob and a hardtail bridge but they’re routed HSS under the pickguard with a full cavity for standard volume tone tone. Used around $700-$800 all day. Those are killer guitars.

I think my strings are dying. 4 hours of playing every day, but I clean them once a day. they’re losing volume

>>128215314Practice singing in the car. Match pitch the best you can to melodies you know. You need to learn how to alter pitch and tone, same as with guitar. Breath control is arguably the most important part. Maybe get a harmonica to practice slow controlled release of breath. If you can hold a steady note on a harmonica, you could do it with your voice. You just don't activate the vocal chords while playing the harmonica (usually).
>>128215370I have before in the truck. This morning before work, I sang into an empty room in my house and was like “huh, with the reverb that sounds pretty good.” But when I recorded myself I was like “woo wee..”Never heard of the harmonica thing. I’ll try matching on my guitar.
>>128215404Also there are many different ways to sing. Try to imitate people's singing style to learn techniques you might not be aware of. Through trial and error you can figure a lot out on your own.
>>128215482I’ll try. Thank you anon. I’ve been wanting to get a little sm58 and an amp. I figured maybe that’ll incentivize me to try.

>>128215901Necrophagist? That's some sick shit. What I used to do when learning GG stuff is slow it down learn it phrase by phraseStart at your slowest cleanest maybe 50% speed depending on the fucked up phraseI play along with it til it's indistinguishable, then play without the background supportIncrementally increase the speed, 10% or even 5% at a time. Sometimes that last 10% of getting to the right tempo is quite the pain, I remember incrementing some stuff at 2.5% Precise timing should equal sqeed and cleanness. It might be desynced pick attack, so I also try to play it mostly legato to find out is it a left hand problem or syncing with the right. Also I play dry as af, no reverb and delay specially when learning. Just the right amount of gain - too much and you think you're doing well cause of compression. Too clean and you won't hear if you're making extraneous noise and not muting correctly.>>128215936shit dawg we might have the same changberg copy. There are good mnemonics to help you set upTuneReliefActionIntonationNoodleFF - If the fretted note is Flat (12th) to the harmonic, move saddle ForwardFlat, ForwardGot a pic of the bridge? If it's the same as picrel I think I've also run out of the bridge to back up.
>>128216720mmmmmaybe... you should've thought about that before PICKING UP A GEETAR
>>128216029black or silver face
>>128216726Appreciate it mate, yeah that makes sense, flat, shorten string (after bridge), flat, lengthen it.It's this one, a copy of something, it was the earlier bridge EART used, desu it's rock solid for tuning stability but action/intonation are a PitA
Sorry bros but I just have zero interest in distortion heavy metal shredding
>>128216788>t.
>>128216788goodshit was a fad that died 30 years ago
>>128216788based tasteful adult
>>128216788Me too. I go back and forth between wanting my guitar to sound like a drippy wet reverb soaked wave crashing into the shore or honky clean bendy lap steel sound. The only OD I need I can get from either cranking my amp or OD pedals to emulate a cracked amp. I hate this new “only type characters with a circle” captcha
>>128216770Aye though luck, yeah looks like there's a finite amount you can back the bridge up due to the metal boundary. Worst case is you might have to redrill it to reposition the bridge. I propose a practical (no tools out) impractical (it's no longer E standard) solution - change the tuning of the guitar to a half step sharp FA#D#g#CF and there might be more leeway into intonating. Have a 26.5 inch fixed bridge RG that I converted to baritone, BEADF#B, found out the low B string bridge needs to go way back and had to cut the springs to squeeze the bridge back further. Ergo by the opposite, a higher pitched tuning can make do with a closer/shorter scale length like mandolins and such. But not sure if that half step up would matter enough, or is a desirable workaround.I'm not a luthier though, just spitballing.
>>128216183nothing to it. At least with traditional bridges. I don't fuck with anything else.
>>128217026i love setting up shitty guitars, it’s almost like a puzzle. my tool bag is worth more than most guitars in this thread, sadly
Anons help me out, do I sell 600 dollars of bitcoin to buy a new guitar? It's a MIM buttercream Jazzmaster
>>128217480you should own 1 really good guitar and 1 really good amp otherwise you’ll never be happy. if you can actually put down your guitar and not feel bad about it it’s not a good guitar
>>128217489The only electric guitar I have right now is a 6 year old beat to shit Epiphone Special II. I am attached to it but I would like something new
>>128217506Go for it I guess if you like all the specs
>>128217489Not him but maybe I should save for a used Les Paul like I wanted to begin with instead of settling for a revstar or Mexican tele. I mean I probably won’t get it by the time my stadium xl comes in, but I should be able to buy one after Christmas. Will suck having a fancy new modeler and powered cabinet I can’t play, but there are some used LP’s around for about 15-1600. Going to at least wait for Black Friday sales to see what happens. At least once I have a real Les Paul and a professional modeling rig the rest of my gear is going to be relatively easy to piece together. There’s nothing wrong with Revstars either but I’ll always wish I had an LP.
>>128217796I’ve spent $15,000 on guitars since Covid (cumulatively but I sell and trade) and I don’t have any of them because I always settled and didn’t just spend the extra to get what I actually wanted. I finally got my dream guitar a few months ago and it pains me to put it down for the night
>>128217796Maybe look at a Tokai or Greco LP if you don’t mind it not having Gibson on the headstock. I’d buy a Tokai any day of the week instead of paying Gibson prices.
>>128217809Yeah. There’s just something about opening a case and seeing / smelling / feeling a real Les Paul with nitro. I don’t even enjoy playing Les Paul’s that much, they’re uncomfortable to sit with and heavy to stand with and the tuning stability sucks, but there’s nothing that sounds or looks like them and they work for literally any genre of music. I think that’s probably the route I should go.
>>128217820Man idk I’m looking to gig every weekend and at this point I’d rather have one really good guitar that limits my cover potentials but sounds incredible this have 2 or 3 import guitars that can cover a ton of bases. I can always buy those import guitars later for the rare Floyd rose or single coil song. An LP will do 95% of what I need to do on guitar.
>>128217821not much you can do about the ergonomics but you can get get rid of 98% of the tuning stability with a proper setup. go for it man but make sure it’s the right one
>>128217849Setup helps but I’ll still pull lp’s out of tune every song, I’m too aggressive with my boomer bends and vibrato. It’s not unmanageable, just an annoyance. But being able to drop it down to D real quick for a song is a huge advantage too vs locking trems. I think if I can just get the lp then get into a Mexican telecaster or Strat with custom shop pickups and later on another pro mod plus San dimas with the Floyd 1500 that’ll be enough for me to do anything I need to live.
>>128199889So I kind of want to give guitar another go (lol). I originally had a starter guitar from when I was a teen but ended dup quitting.I have a Yamaha c40 that I never got around to giving a proper go. But then now I picked dup pic related for $10. Should I restring it and play this or give the Yamaha c40 a play. I mostly want to strum and play folky music desu. I also have a fender mustang amp. 25watts or something iirc
Forming calluses on my dick
>>128217894Neither of those guitars are going to be conducive to learning what you want. The yamaha is the better quality of the two but I'm assuming you're not interested in becoming a classical guitarist. If I were you I'd buy a cheap yamaha acoustic when they go on sale for black friday. Should be able to find a decent playing one for under 200 that isn't a complete bear to learn on. https://www.guitarcenter.com/Yamaha/FS800-Folk-Acoustic-Guitar-Sand-Burst-1500000007801.gc?algoliaQueryID=fa386e5e50c80c8314af9442d0af13d3&algoliaIndexName=guitarcenterThese low end yamahas punch way above their price point and are actually decently easy to play for a cheap acoustic. You will hate yourself trying to learn on something with horrible action.
>>128218009>>128218009>>128218009
>>128217984this unfortunately. yeah you can make a c40 work but using a pick on a guitar with nylon strings and giant spacing stinks and it’ll just never sound right for folk music. thankfully we are in an age of very good $300 acoustic
>>128216788Me 3. Slow clean sucking melts all the pussies>>128217480You can't both enjoy your money and earn with it. Get a sweetwater card or similar so you can pay the guitar off over time. The best way to invest is to earn from your job normally and use a small % of it for different assets every paycheck.
