>big music store>online site sells all sorts of brands of guitars>physical store wall is LITERALLY ALL STRATS + TELES + A FEW SCHECTERS FOR THE "weird metal kids"Fucking Fender mafia! Why are boomers like this?
https://voca.ro/17XS2XJGTFr3
>>129242469Fender is what people want to play duh
>>129242469cool shit will sit for an eternity because it’s mostly boomers and parents making in store purchases
>>129242494I'd argue an SG has more wall appeal than any fender.
Phill talked about this but FMIC gets you fender, squier, charvel, and gretsch all under one account, one payout. Most stores only have 2-4 accounts because it's convenient and safer
Marcus Miller and Primus, basedfacing so hard right nowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw_C9xYERLw
>>129242499Depends on the SG and the Fender in question. Jaguars mog. Strats do be boring though.
Nothing sells like Strats and that's what its all about
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuxHazc-lkgdo you have the right tone neck?
>>129242603horsecock neck
Why do I get the feeling that ESP is the guitar industry’s best kept secret
>dude look at my WALL
>>129242614bro got his choker snapped by horse cock
klussy tuners
for me, it's never playing guitar at all
i had a really good trip on mushrooms today. i practiced a lot and made 2 songs. i love music. i do understand now why so many musicians geared towards psychedelics when playing. shrooms make playing a lot more fun.
>>129242729for me it's cooming
>>129242706>synth brodoes the type of metal/plastic casing affect the tone of the synth?
>>129242574Jaguars don't sell to normies they look weird. Normies see the SG as the "cool" guitar and the strat as the "generic" guitar. They don't know the other ones.
>>129242469My area has two stores, one of which has a handful of fender/squire strats because it's focused on school band rentals, and the other only carries b-tier brands and lower, with the most notable brands being cort and tagima.
I wonder what the bass6 would sound like with jazzmaster pickups
>>129242495Gibson is the old man guitar now and fender is what kids want to play.
JHS may be a meme brand at this point, but their Muff in conjunction with EHX is worth checking out. It’s the best sounding Muff for my money and pairs really nicely with OD and even Muff stacking. I’m going to preempt the anon who will say “your pedals are too spaced out”, the closer your pedals are together is a direct correlation with how gay you are and how well you fit in on r/pedalboard. Shoe size factors into this equation as well and everyone knows that correlates with dick and ball size and by extension, level and quality of toan.
>>129242776Fender sits in the same category in my mind. It's resting on 50+ year old laurels just like Gibson.
sweetwater sent me a bunch of glamour shots of my new guitar
What are these circus clowns at Shark doing? I'll admit I thought the bridge was intresting but this is way too much.
>>129242783do you gig, are you scared of people stealing/losing your stuff
>>129242852what'd you get?
>>129242853>belt buckle scratches you out of toan

>>129242888ooh, very nicefinally someone with taste
>>129235731No need to learn how to read or write music with such beautiful compositions like this,
>>129242452Been like a month or two since I first touched a guitar in my life. Just replaced the 10+ year old strings on my secondhand guitar. Played fine for a day until my high E string just fucking popped out while I was butchering an F chord

>>129242888Gibsons best headstock

>>129243087Jazzmasters complement a Telecaster very well so they're cool in my book. Other offsets just don't have it.
>>129242918You seemed to have forgotten the link! Post it and I'll give it a listen haha!
>>129243130Are these just strat pickups? I can't imagine they'd make specialized PUPs just forthis.

For now I’m just enjoying music as a hobby again and not so much playing in bands or gigging. I did plenty of that in my teens and the first half of my 20s.

My MIM p bass is all of a sudden sounding amazing. Just picked it up for the first time in months, god knows when I last changed the strings, haven't made a single adjustment and the tone is flawless P bass goodness, I don't want to stop playing it and lose whatever perfect harmony it's achieved collecting dust on the rack

>>129244676what pedal?
>>129244635Better than BBA
>>129244635We cant rate your playing because all you’re “playing” is the effects pedal.

Keep on working on it though and you’ll move past that phase, guaranteed!
>>129244913cool your rectum my guy
>>129244913i get it but isnt that like 70% of rock music. if i want clean i should just go acoustic. I could dial the reverb and echo back a bit and show the power chords and pedal tones im using. its pretty simple playing. Well maybe not the strumming technique. Its finger picked with some light touches and harder pickings strewn about. Im just kinda dancing with the reverb.
>>129244913Whoa chill my guy its not that serious.

Should practice be done on distortion
>>129248069Just be yourself.
https://voca.ro/12hjmN5LkcxD
>>129248069Depends what you're playing. Wes Montgomery? Cannibal Corpse? Practice with high headroom clean, with distortion, then at band practice volumesIf you only play clean you might not notice you're making extraneous noisesIf you only play distorted you may feel confident you're getting the notes out but it might be the compression carrying your techniqueIf you don't practice playing loud it may suprise you when you actually play with a drummer
>>129242469Not sure if it's still like this, but I worked for many years in a big music store in Scandinavia and you could only carry Fender products if you had a certain amount of it. So you basically had to carry their entire catalogue of products if you wanted to sell anything. And you pretty much made no money from them. The profit margin was so low you could barely get employee discounts on any Fender stuff.That's probably why stores pack so much Fender gear. Fender have also been way better at appealing to younger generations while Gibson have gone full on Harley Davidson strategy.
>>129248069get a compressor pedal friend ;-)
>>129248069No. If you can’t hear the notes you’re fucking up you’re just hiding behind it.
Holy shit
>>129248069Only to practice muting. Unplug for everything else.
>>129248272Shit advice
>>129248069Sometimes is fineYou dont want to always practice on distortion because you might accidentally be hiding/missing errors in your finger dynamicsBut also you do need to have some understanding of how distortion affects your playing so you should practice both sometimesGenerally though you want to practice with clean tone and then turn the distortion on for full playthroughs
>>129248550if you can't hear the mistake with distortion, did the mistake matter?
https://voca.ro/1gS1zBwCtT0VWell this is my first production ever, the bassline is my guitar with 1 octave lower, the only part I don't play myself is the drumsI intended to play post punk but ended up with that I don't know how to qualify itsync is not perfect and some effects should be improved but what do you think?

>>129249621I bought a guitar, sometimes when I get pissed of from practicing I just pretend I'm playing the song accurately, or just play with the features.

>>129249609Post a specific exercise you like
>>129248942First take: the mixing is horrid. It hurt my ears listening with headphones. The "bass" sounded nice. Get your ass to /prod/ and get mixing tips. Aside from that, I enjoyed it. What this really needs is s b-section. It feels like its building up to something that never comes. Doesn't have to be too crazy. You could literally just play the same shit but with some big messy powerchords.If you want to cheese the solo, get a whammy pedal.All in all, solid effort especially for a first production.
>>129249845who tf is "hinds"?
>>129249851Here's a good exercise.C Major (Transpose this to other keys)CEGAFGEDFABGAF(Repeat this pattern up the neck)The entire time you do this, you must stay within a 4-fret spread. If going to the next note requires you to stretch your pinky or index finger out of position, that means you need to find a place along the way to shift to the next scale position on the neck.
>>129249875by "repeat this pattern" i mean do the same pattern but the first note goes up the C major scale, so each time you repeat the pattern it's gone up by one note
>>129249883>1 3 5 6 4 5 3What's the idea behind the pattern?
>>129249898IDK that's just what my teacher had me practice and I like it. There's a lot of note skipping so it forces you to think differently about when you should switch to the next scale pattern, but it ascends and descends in a predictable way which gives you time to figure it out.
>>129249851incline db bench press and atg barbell squats
>>129249898Also I fucked up theres one more note1 3 5 6 4 5 3 4Then when you repeat the pattern it loops into the next sequence nicely.
>>129249977my favorites are yates rows and barbell curls
For me, it's Arnold Press. I had a shoulder injury and really thought I needed surgery, but a few weeks of Arnold Press completely cured by shoulder pain. Don't sleep on it
>>129250030lifts like those always seemed a bit memey to me. i found that the more bread and butter an exercise is, the better it was for me. standard presses, rows, curls, etc. zerchers are lit though
>>129249851I do squats incline chest press dumbbell and barbell, dumbbell curls probably my favorites.
>>129249995hell yeah. those rows are great for rear delta and traps
>>129249990Am I supposed to use the same 4-frets spread all the way through? Or can I change it when I have done the pattern starting from C and go to do the pattern starting from D, etc.?
>>129250213It will not be on the first note of the pattern, it will be somewhere in the middle of a pattern when you need to shift your whole hand up a fret or two to the next position. If you do it at the start of a pattern only, you'll hit a point where you can't fret the next note without stretching, and the point of the exercise is not to do that.
>>129250213I would separate your practice so you can focus on developing the muscle memory of the scale itself better. keep same shape when changing keys, if you want to practice different shapes keep the same key
>>129250121I thought it was a meme too, but one day I just thought, "well, Arnold is Arnold" and that night my shoulder felt better than ever. Been doing it twice a week last few months and my shoulder is basically healed. For reference, my shoulder was so fucked I could barely drive my motorcycle
>>129250264oh i can see it definitely helping if you have a shoulder injury when you put it like that. glad it helped, injuries are such a pain in the ass.
>>129250264I’ll try them. I tore the rotator cuff in my right arm a long time ago and my right arm will hurt and go numb when I do push exercises
>>129250226https://voca.ro/1iosSr8BKygR
>>129249861yes the mixing is chaotic it's a whole new world for me that need some time to understand. I struggle to follow a guideline and building it like a story but with this first try I learnt a lot where I was unable to get my head around before on how to leave some space between different parts, how to "finish" a song. I was planning to add a b section indeed because it feel too short but I wanted some advices first to see what could go wrong for nowoverall after a few days struggling I finally really enjoyed playing and improvising over each layer of the song. I planned to do a particular musical style but it's a lot easier to play whatever you have in your mindreally nice feedback
>>129244155babby finally grew calluses
>>129250373Very good anon, practice that for a bit until you can make it all the way up two octaves above the root. Then work on increasing speed with smooth transitions to each position.
>>129250390I’ve been playing bass for 3 years and the only callus I have is on my right index finger from popping
>>129246567Yuropoor here, is country really such a big deal in muttland that something like Nashville can sustain itself?From what I see on youtube Nashville houses tens of thousands of guitarists who all own expensive as shit gear and somehow manage to make do with bar gigs.Are housing prices so low there that so many artfags can congregate in one place without saturating the market to such an extent that the whole thing crashes? On top of that it seems Nashville is purely blues and country shittery, maybe some pop. So it's even more niche.We have nothing like this in Europe, all our hubs are simply in the big cities and those are big for other reasons, no huge music city that fully sustains itself on musicians moving there.
>>129250468country has been just pop for decades and yes
>>129250468People have been moving to Nashville from other parts of the country for more than a decade, to get away from states that have gone bad like California. Eventually Nashville will suffer from overpopulation and the wrong kind of population too, but for now it's a really cool city. Nashville has the kind of fun vibe that Austin had a long time ago before becoming too liberal and too hipster.
>>129250373https://voca.ro/1iosSr8BKygRidk how to record on my phone so this sounds like shit but this is up to the second octave
>>129250502https://vocaroo.com/1iY1G9y6pQi1wrong link
>>129250502do NOT click on this… wow…
>>129250477>>129250488But how the fuck does a city that is purely comprised of professional musicians thrive? All Nashville fags you see online are either doing studio work recording some solo "artist" song that won't even get 1000 listens on spotify or they do 20 gigs per day in bars yet they all have walls full of Fenders and Novos and boutique amps. Does rent not exist over there or what? It seems even bigger content creators from other parts of the country cannot live such lavish lifestyles despite doing the same job.
>>129250468>>129250488the guitar scene is full of trust fund babs who pay to play, you can’t break in without either cash or connections
>>129250511Sounds nice. But it is a guitar, not a bass guitar
>>129250558see>>129250580the vast majority in Nashville are mediocre larpers, even the session guys are trust fund
My fingertips are hurting a bit, on both the left and the right hand. Enough practicing for today I guess
>>129250558Online is not reality. You are seeing what someone has decided is profitable for you to see. A kid with no success who spends a fortune on music gear anyway is exactly what you're meant to be seeing.
>>129250589i imagine this exercise is even better for bass because stretching is even harder
>>129250601I mean someone like that black dude who robotically tells guitar reviews and amps or Rhett Shull are obviously trust fund, but it's hard to fake actual gigs like for example this dude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLfsreSW_uYyet he has five figure worth of gear just chilling behind him and so do all those guys he gigs with while living in huge houses in Nashville, I'm always wondering how the fuck these people sustain their lifestyles, I doubt all those tens of thousands of Nashville musicians are trust fund babies.
>>129250671>i've never heard of this guy and yet he makes a good amount of money making music, what gives>huh? what's a studio musician?
Played my strat today. Made me feel like a piece of shit the whole time. What a piece of shit guitar I don't even know why I still own it. Tone as limp as my dick when I'm coked out and already fapped twice earlier. Neck feels ok. Nice ergonomics but single coils are gay and replacing the bridge with a humbucker is even gayer because humbuckers in strats are gay. May sell it. Or play it in five months and once again feel like a piece of shit.
>>129250671instead of being a snark i'll just tell you. moving to nashville as a studio musician is like moving to san francisco as a software engineer. there are people there trying to make things, which creates a demand for people that will help them do that. nashville is full of people ready to spend money to record their music, and this guy uses them for his paycheckthis kind of thing only works in a city with lots of people trying to record music
>>129250711Just put it away until your memory of this day fades and you forget that it's a piece of shit. Then pick it up, play and be disappointed again. Never learn, anon.
>>129250711it feels like shit because you just switched to it after playing a different guitar. your shit is not dialed in
>>129250671they aren’t really making it. they’re all triple dipping gigs, social media, and lessons. I was taking lessons with bryan sutton who is arguably the largest acoustic session guitarist in the country and he had way too much time to do lessons. most places won’t even look at you nowadays unless you have a social media presence. ticketmaster and streaming apps have raped what little money people still spend on music
>>129250558https://voca.ro/12gT4MxpW6j4
>>129250601This, just buy more gear until you look legit
>>129250336Based let us know how it goes. Keep it light at first
>>129250812>arguably the largest acoustic session guitarist in the country and he had way too much time to do lessonsHe has fat residuals propping him up, he doesnt need to do much now
>>129250935perhaps. he is still taking a ton of session gigs

Struggling with my peavey cause I can't rest my finger properly for fingerstyle and I'm not very good with picking.
>>129251014wdym no finger rest doesn’t it have two pickups
how do I unsee the penis headstock on the grabber bases
>>129251040My thumb keeps slipping off the pickup. Im a bit retarded
>>129251042if it was up your ass you’d know
>>129251068it’s not really proper technique to stay on the pickup all the time. I move my thumb to the string above the one I’m playing and left hand is muting the ones below the one I’m playing
>>129251069you've been in this thread making this joke for the better part of a decadea decade anon
>129251069ya see... that was uncalled for
>>129251084the joke was it’s a phallic object and if it was inserted into his rectum he would in fact no longer be able to see it
>>129250812>unless you have a social media presencethat is literally all the arts.good luck getting a foot in the door nowadays unless you have a 100k subs youtube plaque or verified five digit instagram follow count
>>129251185Not true black blues anon gets all kinds of gigs
A lot of those big guys started from 0 ya know
>>129251185It's funny, the hustle of getting your art out there was half the fun in making shit back in the day. I'd go to shows, bars, and art galleries to sell my shit/hand out flyers.Now it's very formulaic and soul-crushing because social media is the only option if you want to pack gigs/sell your stuff. You can't be unique when it comes to social media, you have to imitate everyone else with just a sprinkle of your own unique flavoring, which just feels like raping your own art.
