You guys have the most bizarre takes I've ever seen where do you come up with this shit?
>>
>>128482775
harmony is just how two things sounds together, if I had to explain it very fundamentally. bass is the most important instrument in the ensemble as it ties the rhythm and harmony of the song together. kind of like chord inversions on guitar but the guitar is just too weak to really project a solid tonal foundation like a bass/piano. the bottom note completely dictates how anything on top of it feels or sounds. if you find a piece that really makes you feel a certain way that you don’t know how to explain if you can get the sheet music you can see what’s going on

If you faggots did a blindfold test with a $150 noname chinkshit guitar and a $3500 gibson you literally wouldn't hear a difference.

>>128482812
haha lol hehe okay now try that with an acoustic. electric guitar is fundamentally flawed

The $150 guitar would fall apart before I finished a riff.
The gibson on the other hand would just feel like shit to play.

>Stainless steel frets (and maybe pleked)
>Quartersawn and/or reinforced necks
Cheap guitars with those roasted necks aren't as good for reinforcement. They don't do it for strength. They skip the standard drying process and roast them to cut costs. Plus, they're brittle and will be a bitch if they ever need a refret. So if you do get a cheap roasted neck guitar, make sure it already has SS frets.

reading and watching videos on it. you piecemeal concepts slowly over time but shit doesn’t really come together until you start to apply it and even then it’s pieces at a time because it’s not just enough to read it you have to see it in context and YouTube videos just don’t do a good enough job. I play bass in a 3 piece funk band and I jam twice a week with our keyboardist. he’s completely self taught and has been playing for 30 years so I experienced a ton of growth playing with him the first year because he forced me to learn shit and keep up on the fly. it was very difficult at first and I thought the key was to develop my ear to be a better improviser which is true, but I started to recognize patterns in the music. Like I could make it feel like a certain style of music if I just changed the rhythm or the scale being used, how changing the tonal or key center sounded on the harmony etc. ear and theory are two paths to the same end but you need one to better develop the other

also sorry for long rant but you can’t just rely on theory either without an ear. another thing he would do is start playing something and tell me to find the key. very good practice and it didn’t take long to get good at it, but one time he was playing in F but I played C. which is the perfect 5th so it’s not a dissonant note but at the time it felt and sounded better to me. if I had a chord chart in front of me I probably never would have played a C and just kept it safe but the song felt better as F/C
>>
>>128482812
There's difference in play-ability and longevity too. Cheap guitars aren't much of an investment. They're for people to get some basic shit done or explore and eventually discard. Mostly kids and third worlders who don't take care of anything.
And China is the probably most wasteful people of this ilk. An entire culture that doesn't even give a shit if the very roofs over their heads fall apart. Apparently they don't to care or repair anything. Like if a bike gets a flat, they just toss it and get another. And they don't care to make you anything that's not suited to this insane mentality. Unless it's like their top luthiers (they do have some).

This is kinda how I did it and I still suck. I think maybe I would've saved a shitload of time if I had simply binge-read "20th Century Harmony" and Mark Levine's "The Jazz Theory Book." Of course, I'm just assuming that because I'm lazy and still haven't read either of those :)

Breedloves are pretty decent for more budget guitars, I’d buy one for a good price in a heartbeat if I was wanting another acoustic. Every one I’ve played has been a fine guitar.
>>
So the little red guitar I posted. Spent today polishing the frets, and I checked the pickup. I thought the pickup was dead because of the amount of corrosion on the magnets. I was wrong, it works. And it sounds surprisingly decent and bright. I don't think I'll be needing that new pickup. I unironically think it sounds better than the single coil on my cool vibe telecaster. Too bad it won't stay in tune. I'm gonna have to replace the nut.
>>
>>128484200
You're right, it does sound like shit. Don't post vocaroos if you're a beginner. Nobody wants to listen to this lame noodling

>>128484912
Yeah and the ones I've tried just felt and sounded really cheap to me, hard to explain but like the wood in them was really dead and didn't resonate well. I liked the "cheap" Taylors more but they still felt like budget guitars. This is a definite cut above imo.

>>128484956
I thought their American-made guitars seemed pretty nice for the money too, on par with similarly-priced Martins etc. Those were crazy good deals too, $1,500ish for guitars with double the MSRP, but I didn't have that kinda money for an impulse buy today, probably gonna get one someday though since I like the idea of a guitar that was actually made 7 minutes from my house.

>>128483234
Theyre rough out of the box but are very decent with a good setup. I have 3, a V1 Jag, a V2 Mustang and a sped V2 Jazzmaster. I got the Mustang used and the person I bought it from did a pretty good job setting it up, the Jag and JM were finicky out of the box and both required shims but component wise they’re more than decent. Adjusting action, dialing in the trems, and the minimal fret maintenance is very basic stuff that anyone is capable of doing. They should come better set up from the factory but even then I would very likely adjust everything listed above regardless to be sure it is up to snuff with my preference. The same thing can be said for MIA fender of the last few years, their QC and set up is severely lacking. If you want a well crafted and QC’ed Fender out of a box it’s going to have to be a MIJ or a custom shop.

I found a Vintera Tele at GC that I really liked and probably should have just bought. Possibly the nicest feeling and playing non-USA Fender I've ever experienced, just one of those fluke guitars that come out of lower-end production lines I guess.

On the flipside I have an anniversary Squier Tele that I fucking hate, heard nothing but good about CVs (which it effectively is) and thought this looked awesome for pretty cheap but it's awful in a way I can't even explain, there's just something that makes it feel super clunky to play.

>>128485346
I had the exact opposite experience with the Vintera. truss rod was maxed from the factory. it has to come down to the wood because all these instruments are CNC cut and the hardware is cast. there should functionally be no difference but some of them suck and feel bad and there’s no other explanation. I do know that improperly kiln dried wood can be very problematic. basically the outside has overdried and the inside is still wet and it will warp like crazy

>>128485457
I definitely believe there’s something to the guitars made on a Friday thing. When it comes down to it the vast majority are produced en mass on an assembly line and the odds of somebody fucking off that day are pretty high. What bugs me is the stuff they’ll let through inspection like bad soldering and wildly high frets. I was all set to buy an American JM but every single one I played between 2024 and now has felt like ass or had some kind of glaring flaw. Granted most of the half dozen or so I tried out were at various guitar centers but I’m not just talking floor models, I had them grab and unbox them from the back

>very picky with humbuckers
>have a very hard time finding a clean sound that I like with them (I play mostly clean/edge of break up/slight overdrive much more often than full on distortion)
>have a guitar that feels great but hate the humbuckers
>want to replace them with something more single coil like but without going full single coil sound or without going P90
>don’t want to play the game of constantly buying pickups because I’m unhappy with every set
>don’t want to get rid of the guitar but also never play it because I don’t like how it sounds
>want to give it a sound I like so I’ll actually use it
What is a good set of humbuckers for someone who loves single coils and P90s? Preferably still noiseless
>>
>>128485570
Never heard of them. I was recalling some other thing I ran across recently on a classical guitar forum. There are classical players who will even get snooty about $3k factory made Spanish guitars (don't even mention the Chinese stuff). Like the whole idea of mass production annoys them. Maybe they know their shit, but I can't afford to be that way.
>>
>>128485599
why not get a noiseless p90?
>>
>>128485599
Maybe try a no load tone pot before you get new humbuckers. They can help the high end come out for clean (not single coil like, but better). Or just great for gain too.

Record something with the bass chorus for me tomorrow, anon
>>
>>128485759
Sure thing anon. I think i just figured out how to have all 3 pedals on. If i EQ the chorus+reverb high it comes through really well mixed with the other tones. Are you guy who told me about the parallel mixer? It such a god send, pretty much instantly fixed all my problems. I was struggling with the pedal chain before but this gets rid of that worry.
>>
>>128485599
Before you buy new ones, try a parallel switch. It raises the resonant peak which gives them a big clarity boost. It will slightly lower the output but not as much as a coil split.

I guess it really does just come to the old adage that you have to play any cheap guitar before buying it, since there's so much variation between examples at that level. Sadly $1000+ is a "cheap guitar" now, especially with Fender.

>>128485728
>>128485748
The weird thing is that there's nothing really wrong with the hardware or the QC. It's something more fundamental, weird-ass balance in the body or a weird fretboard radius or god knows what. I'm a bad judge, mostly an acoustic player and not a very good one, but my younger brother is a pro touring guitarist and he tried it at one point and felt the same way, there's something wrong with it but it's really hard to tell what, it just tires you out really fast and you seem to make a lot more mistakes playing it than other guitars. Maybe it's just cursed kek.

>>Quartersawn and/or reinforced necks
Neither Fender nor Gibson guitars have this. Well, I don't know modern top Fender specs off the top of my head, but I doubt they do.
Modern Music Mans have steel frets, not sure about quartersawn necks, but certainly no carbon fiber or titanium rod reinforcement though. In any case I heard way too many accounts of modern MM necks warping for it not to be an actually more or less common issue.

My SG Standard will need a refret in a few years and I'll spend the price of a new Eart with steel frets on it and I will continue to have permanent anxiety about its headstock, neck joint or body around the jack exploding at random.

fender custom shops have quarter sawn necks. you could get ss frets but imo not that big of a deal if you play nickel strings and your guitar uses real jescar fret wire. I have two acoustics with nickel steel frets but one is a cheapo and the other is a Martin. the Martin frets last about 15x as long

I looked up online and apparently there is no fix for the strap getting twisted and you having to reposition it. Why hasn't that been solved with the technology that's available to mankind?

Bridge pickup with the coils in parallel and the tone all the way down into distortion is a beautiful lead tone

>>128488336
I can't figure out which way to twist most of the times and it needs sometimes 2 or more twists. That nets me an average of 3,5 twists per correction.

>>128488362
Pay some attention next time and memorize which way to spin it for that twist

Depends on your amp, and more generally on what sounds you want to achieve.
EQ is the most useful/versatile pedal you can have (transparent boost, colored boost, pickup tone shaping, pre-EQ, post-EQ, half-cocked wah and "lo-fi" tones...), but it's "boring" and you have to know what you're doing.
Dirt is the most instantly impactful pedal you can have if you want dirty tones and your amp doesn't cut it - moar gain, different EQ and grain character.
Reverb or delay will instantly make your sound bigger. With reverb you can do atmospheric/ambient/"vibey" sounds, with delay you can do, well, delay fuckery.
Modulation is mostly just flavoring on top - when it isn't you're trying to make guitar into a synth and playing pedals more than guitar. But if you're playing strictly clean then a chorus, vibrato or maybe tremolo will take the place of dirt in the 3 essential pedals lineup. Many choruses can do vibrato as well, vibratos are choruses with 0 dry signal.
>>

He spends all day looking up guitars he can't play (he doesn't play guitar, never has), can't buy (poor third world-let), can't order (no address because homeless), and at the end of the day he has no taste. I'm not joking. This guy is just awful! And to top it off, he never even disputed any of this. He never claimed to even be a guitarist. He never claimed anything. All we know is he posts slightly photoshopped reverb posts. And when he posted an unaltered one people buy it thinking they are "rizzing" him. Thing is, he doesn't even know how to purchase things online. He's never done it before, because he's a poor disfigured nerd!
