>>129280908why can’t japs into aesthetics
>>129280991The Tele is an inherently ugly shape that could have only been created in the late 40s/early 50s
>>129281022You don't understand the Telecaster's beauty.
https://youtu.be/6rJueaXKqeU?si=D_KspvDgsVQB44XMFender Costume Shop vs Squier Jurassic Vibe. Let's go.
>>129281090>hanging guitar stand It's gonna fail
>custom shop frets arent manually leveled or polishedthere's no way that can be right
>>129281204Plek does a better than any luthier can
>>129281204I've never played a custom shop that felt better than a high end guitar worked on by a good tech. They all need finishing out of the factory
>>129281224t. someone who has never worked with tools or machinery in her life
Jammed for about an hour before work
luthiers can use pleks, its not either or
>>129281250Plek scientifically calculates the best height for each fret to give the lowest possible action and cuts the frets to within .0005” accuracy and crowns the frets to perfection. a tech uses a flat sanding beam/block, hopes for the best, and crowns the frets as best as his eyes can see and the $15 tool he bought on alibaba and is worn out from 100 dressings will allow. Cope
>>129281271Lol you proved his point, no idea what you’re talking about
>>129281263luthier is not likely using a plek. it’s a $100k machine bare minimum so if you invest in one you’re going to be doing so many guitarist that you will hire a dedicated plek operator
>>129281288did you have an argument?
How do I break out of the pentatonic/major scale noodling and do proper shredding
>strat b and e strings buzzed yesterday>today it plays finewhat the fuck?
yeah I didn’t think so
>>129281271And this is why I do it myself and use quality files. My Jap and Mexican guitars play nicer than most people’s high end MIA guitars. As long as there’s no major flaws from the factory, I can set any guitar up into a very decent-very hood guitar. It’s a skill worth learning if you play a lot, own a lot of guitars, or are picky about how your guitars play.
>>129281320noodling is lack of intention. you're too relaxed, you're not using your brain. when you're starting out, improvising is not relaxing. you're activating new pathways in your brain and that is naturally uncomfy. if you want to stop noodling, you have to allow yourself to be uncomfy and keep tryharding instead of letting yourself relax
>>129281271Retardsis, a tech still has to verify and finish the work a plek has done.And you've proven my point, you have never worked with precision machining and it shows. Scientifically zero my foot in your ass
>>129281340>My Jap and Mexican guitars play nicer than most people’s high end MIA guitars.And how many MIAs do you have?
>>129281347wow he looked at it. that’s fucking crazy it’s as if the tech did all the work after all
>>129281353s-shut up
>>129281340dude even those chinese artist and harley benton guitars are good now, as long as there are no obvious problems they can be setup and play better for 1/10th of the price
>>129281022You take that back
>>129281347A fret polish? A plek machine has straps that can adjust the relief of the guitar while it’s in the cradle. You punch a few stats in like scale length and the machine measures the physical space of the guitar with a probe and then cuts and crowns everything. It can also cut nuts and shape fingerboards if you really wanted. The machine throws tons of faults if something isn’t correct. It’s nothing like freehanding a mill or a lathe, moron.
>And you've proven my point, you have never worked with precision machining and it shows.
>>129281383I know how a plek works, it's not automatic. You're just at much at the mercy of whoever is operating the machine knowing what they're doing. A plek setup can fuck up a guitar just as much as improve it.And then you still need the polishing, action, and intonation set after it's all done
>um i can’t actually explain why but you must certainly be wrong
>>129281443hey retard, we were talking about fret leveling. maybe in your dumb little brownoid head you got emotionally invested in your own head canon and lost the plot. but feel free to take a break, brush up on your reading, and then come back and make yourself look retarded in a completely new way
>If you do a bad job, it will suck.Woah, got him with that one.
called fedex, they cant find the guitar called sweetwater, they’re opening a service ticket and will get back to me on Monday 7 thousand dollar guitar just lost to the wind sweetwater said theyd ship me another one if it cant be found by monday, problem is i ordered the last one in stock so i guess we will just have to wait and see
>>129281534>7 thousand dollar guitarno guitar is worth that much
>>129281541well now its worth fucking nothing because nobody knows where it is
>>129281553keyvon from fedex is enjoying his new $7k guitar
>>129281461And the operator has to make judgement calls every step of the way with the virtual fret dressing and what to prioritize. Plek is not magic, it's another tool that can be used by a skilled individual
>day 5 of anon pretending he bought a guitar
>>129281320you gotta hear what you want in your headthen translate it to the fretboard
>>129280908yet they still kept the stupid 3 barrels bridge
>>129281638we get more updates and photos of the shipping progress than we do actual photos of the guitar. sad. here’s to another year of the same 10 photos in gg
>>129281781The blogger belongs on r/guitar
https://voca.ro/132uLDMt257U
>>129281659>stupid 3 barrelsthat's important for intonation
open chords being extremely sharp or flat is part of the tone
>>129280664>EQ knobs on an amp are after gainAre they? IIRC on Fenders EQ is before gain, at least on the early ones, and it's Marshall who started putting EQ after gain.
>>129281977Definitely depends on the amp, not sure why they'd say that
>>129281993do you have a link to a video comparing the effects of pre and post eq tube saturation
>>129281340Copium
>>129282020https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcBEOcPtlYk
>>129282083very cool thanks. eq before distortion sounded best to me except for mid cut which sounded bad in both examples.
>>129280939Nice>>129281896A bit nicer than your usual rap stuffWhen you inevitably chop her up into pieces make sure to post it here along with your guitar thanks
>>129282143lol
>>129281580>>129281638>>129281781;_;
>>129281022The shape isn't bad but the stock pick pick guard, control plate, and most of the colors Fender uses are down right hideous especially that awful butterscotch color. Make a few changes like pic related and suddenly it's a good looking guitar. The tele in its stock form is the Hollywood ugly girl who just needs to ditch the glasses, get a better hair style, and new clothes to look nice.
>>129281993my bad thats the way orange does it so thats the context i was working in when i was learning this stuff
>>129282243did they not finish making that guitar? what’s with the fake f hole and binding? also ugly pickguard
>>129282243You managed to make it worse looking>that awful butterscotch color.>Hollywood ugly girl who just needs to ditch the glassesAnd have two dreadful takesThat looks like a praise and worship or mealcore guitar, both equally gay and cringe
>>129282262Okay fine, here's with a real F hole. Hopefully 4chan doesn't decide to fuck with the rotation. Personally not a fan of the gold hardware but that would be a relatively easy swap.>>129282295Pure white is the best guitar color aside from nice natural wood grains.

>>129282454https://voca.ro/1ej0YYyC1tP9
>>129282461birds of a feather flock together
With a budget of $7,000 you could buy a plane ticket to test the guitar in person and a second seat for the guitar on the way home and not increase the price more than 10%.
>>129282474I mean i generally agree but theres literally nothing i or any phone rep can do about it besides wait and see for monday If Sweetwater calls on monday and says they need to send some sort of replacement im 100 percent asking for some kind of care package as compensation thoughhoney attracts more flies than shit is my experience with these sorts of things though, getting ornery will just make things worse
>>129282489Yeah I know i play tested every guitar in a 200 mile radius and didnt love any of them so went with what i had fallen in love with on the internet, of course it had to be a fucking issue though. im not really seething so much as just bemused by the whole situation, i know things will be made right one way or another but its just fucking typical that pulling the trigger on a ginormous purchase would be the one time Sweetwater and fedex drop the ball
>>129282243fake f hole ruined it, also fuck outta here hating on butterscotch
>that website is a bunch of sad dads
Everything's going to be OK Anon. Don't worry no no. No worry no cry.
>>129282509what did you order anyway
>>129282509fedex is genuinely the worst
>>129282509 If the missing guitar turns up months later like with the other anon's, will you be able to keep it? Would that be illegal? Or is it just a matter of you telling on yourself. That would be sick if you could keep it
>>129282530>>129282537im 100 percent keeping it if it randomly shows up in march lol >>129282532Yeah they’re fucking subhumans. The literal worst

What taylor acoustic guitar would y'all recommend?Looking at the 314ce right now
>>129282698shut up stupid >>129282786you really cant go wrong with anything they make even the baby Taylors punch way above their weight
>>129282802I don't really understand the differences between their 114ce, 214ce, 314ce, 414ce, etc etc
>>129282552congrats. crazy they charge that much tho for half a guitar
>>129282814First number is price point, last two numbers are the body size/model. C is cutaway, E is electronics
>>129282828>body size/model How much does size matter? As for model I'd have to look at differences
>>129282819Flying Vs are enormous guitars
>>129282906matters for volume and amount of bass, also for comfort. I’d recommend trying some out to decide which you like best
https://vocaroo.com/1ef8D1oDBmUBdid some bass improv a drum beat and a piano loop. if you're around anon and u can add something pls do
>>129282952>matters for volume and amount of bass, also for comfortWhat size would you recommend if I intend of singing while playing without a mic? Probably 314ce right>I'd recommend trying some out That's the plan gotta go to guitar center, won't buy it there because niggers probably touched it
how will gc stay in business if you buy everything from sweetwater?
In4 SG and delay and dirt and reverb through a JC-120 recorded with an SM57.https://voca.ro/1ddanMUnP0DQ
>>129283019personally I find a dreadnought very comfortable. if you plan to play fingerstyle I’d probably get a smaller guitar like a concert (x12 x22) or auditorium (x14 x24) since they typically use lighter gauge strings. easier to get reasonable volume out of lighter strings without a pick
>>129283052alternatively you could put lighter strings on a dreadnought but they have beefier bracing so the top won’t be as active as a guitar that was designed for lighter gauge strings so they won’t have volume parity. I put 12s on all my dreadnoughts just because hearing my guitar creak every time I tune it scares the shit out of me
>>129283052>fingerstyleProbably notThe 314ce is what I'm really interested in just gotta try it out
>>129283029Their fault for only selling dogshit beginner guitars at stores near me and overcharging on used gear
>>129283177this. they don’t have anything I want. if they ever had a high end p bass it’s an American performer
Anyone know anything about Jazzmasters and Jaguars? Still pretty new to guitar but thinking of getting myself one, just can’t decide which. Love the look of offset guitars but most of the comparison videos online suck.
>>129283313I want to know this too.
>>129283313short scale length typically equates to warmer sound, easier finger stretching for more chord voicings. pickup closer to the 12th fret is also warmer, pickup closer to the bridge is more lower mids, a bit of higher mids, kind of sounds compressed also. idk shit about the tone circuits and switches since I play bass but I’m sure someone will chime in
>>129283313The Jaguar produces a much different sound than the Jazzmaster due to the pickups being very different. You can pretty much ignore all the different knobs and options on the Jag though, they were a pretty standard gimmick of 1960s guitars and were found on Japanese brands too like Teisco. They don't really do much, they're mostly ornamental.
>>129283313this is bait
>>129282994i can but i dont want to right now
>>129283313Both of them have 1M pots instead of your standard 250K, this makes the neck pickup ultra clear but the bridge can be pretty harsh. Jag also has a bass cut witch but you dont use it much.
>>129283313go to a store and try them and pick the one you want. comparison videos online are better than any gibberish some /gg/tard will throw at you. talking about an instrument is like dancing about architecture
https://youtu.be/VVdiXJV6TG8
>>129283313that Aztec gold is looking pretty good but I still prefer silver.
>>129280908Why are the frets not straight how does that make senseThey aren't really parallel for each string either. What kind of intonation is thishttps://truetemperament.com/produkt/ulv-8-string-by-freak-guitar-lab/

>>129283594funny his tone guitar video got 2.4m views and the amp cab and mic vids only got like 600k. people don’t light facing the fact that they might possibly be wrong and would rather continue being a Luddite
>>129283554>>129283561Thanks. When im balls deep in her tiny pink pussy Ill think about you guys
>>129283538Cdim7 Gdim7 Ddim7
>>129283616more like the first tone video was more engaging and the other ones are nerdy. and i watched them all personally but thats just how it is.
>>129283594All of his videos are worth a watch. The youtube compression was eye-opening as well, youtube does not actually destroy audio like people claim.I never bought into the dogma that I saw boomers parroting all the time on gearslutz and other places, so everything he said was pretty reasonable to me. Tonewood never made sense to me based on my knowledge of physics and working with materials. The amp tone stack is probably the most actionable and enlightening thing that any guitarist can make use of.
>>129283661an electric guitar has to be amplified you might as well get the rest of the equation from the other videos. some people don’t enjoy learning I suppose
>>129283677putting his home built stuff in a scavenged piece of garbage is based. we always made radiator overflows out of an aluminum beer bottle
>>129283677i just watched the whole series after the amp video was posted itt. making me think more about leaning on cab sim and studio monitors (have those already)
>>129283744if you have nothing but time modelers are ok. I like tube amps because I can turn one knob and it sounds great
>>129283767right, i said cab sim not amp sim
>>129283781my bad dawg
wow cool
what happens if he drops it
@plek set up my jaguar
>>129283835>jumps from any survivable height are are now off the list>instead of bones snapping its the sound of e LP being dropped on the floor
>>129283871objection. outside the scope of direct examination
Epiphone and Squier are more punk rawk I'm afraid
>>129283744That's the logical conclusion from it.If needed, I get my gain through pedals (and a pedal-in-the-box or two) and then into a mic pre/eq, then XLR into my interface. This instantly gets me closer to a finished sound than messing around with micing my tube amp and I can do it any hour of the day. Cab sims are basically just filters at the end of the day, and you don't have to try getting rid of the shitty amp sim fizz with this method.Mic pres and guitar pres with DI out were underlooked for a while until digital finally started getting us out of it. 6 or 700 for the toneking imperial is too much but it's in the right direction. The only thing you miss out on with this is feedback and sag, but some amp pedals do emulate sag (it's never that noticeable to a listener unless it's practically unplayable for a player)
>>129283594Guys videos are boring and misleading.
>>129284216misleading how exactly?
>>129284216>Guys videos are boring and misleading.you take guitar lessons from women?

>>129280991they can. guitar looks good.>>129281022it's a pretty basic and utilitarian single cut design, and later they even added contours. so do the fags in this thread actually like guitars or what?
>>129282243that guitar looks gaudy as shit, the white parts will yellow unevenly over time and fake f holes are aesthetically horrible, i say that as a huge paul gilbert fan. butterscotch blonde tele looks amazing. you have unbelievably shit taste.
>>129280908I just dont like this part, why does a tele need a 5 way blade and why are the knobs so far apart?
>>129284832That's just a three way switch like any other tele ever made has anon. But you can go up to 5 ways on a fat tele. Neck, split neck, both in phase, both out of phase, bridge.
>>129280991>why can’t japs into aesthetics
I don’t care much for Femder OR Gibson
>>129284311Hey, Bo Diddly!
>>129284853Huh I guess that's true. I dont care for out of phase much but the other 4 are solid
>>129281320ask yourself what that "proper shredding" actually is, you seem to have some conception of it which means you've probably heard it somewhere before. first port of call is to track it down and try your best to learn it or something approximating it, then begin to understand the tonality, technique and intended use of what was being played, ie why is it in the song and its contribution. more than that, you need better fretboard visualisation, it sounds like you're stuck in pentatonic because you're unfamiliar with other modes, so track those down and learn those too. you need to be able to play any scale in any key in any position of the fingerboard without thinking about it. go learn the greek names and the shapes, starting with aeolian which is commonly called minor, ionian being the relative major. in between those are locrian, dorian, phrygian, lydian and mixolydian, learn them all, and learn harmonic minor and phrygian dominant, then learn diminished and augmented scales, then learn wholetone, melodic minor and others. yes it's a lot of work, don't expect to be done with it in a day, a week, a month or perhaps even a year unless you're really dedicated, the sooner you begin to expand your fretboard visualisation and memorisation of scale shapes and modes the sooner you can begin to expand your repertoire, but just getting down a few licks right now this instant will go some ways to helping you break out of pentatonic boxes.

>>129285851This one helped me break out of a bit of a rut. I also like nicely organized chord books like Nelson Faria's book ("Acordes, Arpejos e Escalas) and "A Chordal Concept for Jazz Guitar" by Peter O'Mara. I thought Jon Finn's book on rock improv was pretty good too: "Advanced Modern Rock Improvisation." Greg Howe's new book is nice, and I like pretty much anything by Chris Brooks. Oh yeah and Noel Johnston's "Voicing Modes."

I decided to get the Schecter Nick Johnston signature in HSS. I'm sweating like crazy, because I'm expecting it to have major flaws like uneven frets.>>129278733>>129278721This one doesn't even have stainless steel frets. The Yamaha one I was looking at had them, but I read more negative reviews about its QC.>You should be getting your guitar setup after buying it anyway.Is fret-leveling part of a setup? I thought that a standard setup consists of neck-relief, string action, intonation adjustments? I do those myself, but fret-leveling sounds like a major thing to do.I can already see it, in a month or so I'll have fret-leveling equipment at home that I will never use again in my life. What's also worrying me, if I get a guitar with stainless steel frets, I will probably need special equipment which can handle the hardness of steel.
>>129287544You should at least check if it needs fret adjustments. You may not need to do anything.
>>129281090That guy swears too much. It comes off as edgy and try-hard. I agree with his opinions though and I enjoy watching him work on guitars and probably trying it myself.Did anyone watch the video where they compared a PLEK-machine setup to one of his? Somehow I trust machines more than people. Do you think he's worried that that side of guitar-building will be replaced by machines?
>>129287544If you tell the tech you want the frets levelled because it just came out of the factory that can be part of your setup. A setup is literally anything you need to do to your guitar to make it more playable.
>>129287576>That guy swears too muchHe tells you at the beginning what to do if you feel this way, lots of pussies out there reviewing gear
>>129287554I do, I use the string height gauge from Music Nomad as a fret rocker. It's the most gut wrenching moment when trying a new guitar.Interestingly: Music Nomad sells a separate fret rocker. They claim that it gets special attention to make it a true "straight edge". Apparently the string action gauge isn't fit for that. I think they just want to sell me another gadget, but the paranoid side of me is worried. >>129287626There is only 1 guitar tech/guitar store in my town. I read a review where someone took theirs to get set-up and they were told that they "don't work on American guitars". Not sure what to think of that.
frets will level themselves if you actually play the guitar
>>129287531There is literally NOTHING more relevant than the room tone of an amp>BUT EVERY LEGENDARY TONE WAS RECORDED!And do you think anyone had fun playing with an amp that sounded and responded like ass "because after some mic placement tricks and a trip through a digital console, the heccin EQ will fix it"? No. Stick the SM57 up your butt and fart, ya jim lill watchin tard. Fucking post can fix anything. Autotune your playing. Have AI generate your solo. Just make entirely synthetic music without a band or your own playing. It only needs to be stored sound that can be played back and sound good. Nothing else matters, right?>IF ITS NOT RECORDED NO ONE WILL HEAR ITYeah sure besides that any gigs with soul and inherent fun/sentimental value often don't have a PA in sight, or if they do it's not a professional nashville sound console fucker with 30 years of EQing experience cleaning up yet another generic country pop rock act, you will hear it, your bandmates will hear it, and music is a FUN activity, not a soulless corporate product that only needs to please the CONSOOMER, tardo. The #1 fan of your playing is meant to be you, and your #2 fan is meant to be a group of your bandmates, friends, and family. Nothing matters more than enjoying your own tone.Play what you enjoy no matter what it is and no matter what "anti-gear" penny pinchers and contrarians tell you can be fixed in post. Period.
When’s the last time you strummed some open position chords? Never neglect the fundamentals

>>129287702You can turn your monitors up and you will get the "amp in a room" sound. Do you think the amp speakers produce special, magic sound waves that the speaker in your monitor doesn't?

>>129287702trvkeplay a solid state or modeler if you enjoy it moreplay a tube amp if you enjoy it more>>129287719>STOP WANTING THINGS I DONT!yes tube amps sound different in person and they respond differently to inputs, primarily because modelers are meant for recording and sound like recordings. the latest tone master meant to emulate an amp in the room still doesn't sound like an amp in the room, it sounds close enough for live music. modelers never will, there's too much basic and quantum physics fuckery involved to copy 1:1 digitally. if a tone master attempt can't nail it your IR and FRFR hifi box will never actually nail sitting five feet from a traditional 12" speaker in an "objectively poorly designed cab hooked up to an output transformer nor does it have to, so it never will, as no one wants it to as long as they can buy a champ or a PRRI once and keep it for 50 years.the thing you put so much effort into saying has no point is continuing to sell well and will sell well so long as the tubes themselves are available.>hey.... hey.... stop having fun... you see, TECHNICALLY... *is wrong about everything* and conceptually fun doesnt even matter!if you want to minmax gear and write off the minutiae of experience, maybe music isn't for you. try, iunno, racecars?>clarinets are outdated, play an EWI! pianos are outdated, get a keyboard! a drummer? machines are better. hey stop playing instruments, you wouldn't be able to pick out my DAW in a blind test. on REAL big gigs, in nashville, in my band...oh.... people are still... well... -electric guitarist gear neuroticism transposed

>>129287576His vid with andertons is the one that introduced me to his channel. I think the difference on why Lee preferred his human set up vs the plek machine one was his was a smidge lower.The plek operator of andertons assumed lee wanted his a bit higher being a blues dad. PLEK machine is just a tool, it's just that it can be more consistent and precise than a human doing it with hand tools. It's still up to the operator and how he can capture the end user's preference - there was a podcast where John Suhr said Scott Henderson likes his nut height cut higher than what he would normally set up.

>>129287784>no 9th>no b6>AeolianIf anything, Hirajoshi is the Aeolian Pentatonic scale.
>>129287969which is why I said pentatonic aeolian not aeolian pentatonic. all semantics anyway. do what works for you.
now that the dust has finally settled, the guitar playing on this album was actually genious
>>129288018
if you interpret "the pentatonic scale" in modal terms, we need names for these modes. for example pentatonic phrygian, the chinese would call man-gong scale. pentatonic mixolydian is the japanese "yo scale"

>>129287576Do you happen to own a custom shop tele?Is your butt hurt?
>>129288475every time
>>129288163It gets confusing because there are multiple pentatonics that work well over a given chord for expressing the modal flavor. You could take your regular minor pentatonic and raise the b3 to a natural 3 for one flavor over a dominant chord of the same root. You could also play the minor pentatonic with the natural 6 replacing the b7 from the 5th of the dominant chord, or more accurately, play 1 2 3 5 b7 from the root of the dominant chord, for example.Here's what I've got kinda sorta worked out:>Ionian Pentatonic1 3 4 5 7>Dorian or m6 Pentatonic1 3 4 5 6>Phrygian Pentatonic1 b2 4 5 b7>Lydian Pentatonic1 3 #4 5 7>Mixolydian or Dominant Pentatonic1 3 4 5 b7>Aeolian Pentatonic / Hirajoshi1 2 b3 5 b6>Locrian Pentatonic1 b3 4 b5 b7>mM7 Pentatonic (Minor-Major 7 Pentatonic)1 b3 4 5 7>Diminished Pentatonic1 b3 4 b5 bb7>Augmented Pentatonic1 3 4 #5 7>Mode 4 Harmonic Minor Pentatonic1 b3 #4 5 b7idk what else, maybe >Lydian Augmented Pentatonic1 3 #4 #5 7>Lydian Dominant Pentatonic1 3 #4 5 b7
>>129288506shit that Dorian one is supposed to be1 b3 4 5 6
>>129288506I see where you are going with this but what I'm referring to is something more simplistic. I'm simply giving different interval emphasis unique names in the pentatonic scale we all know and love. like for instance you take diatonic aeolian mode and remove the locrian and lydian interval you get "the minor pentatonic scale"now if you take diatonic Phrygian and remove the same locrian and lydian interval, I need a name for that mode. so I'll call it "pentatonic Phrygian" (1 b3 4 b6 7)
my hand is my WHAT?
>>129288599can we hear some melodies you’ve written with these
>>129288620s-shut up
Im pretty new and noticed when I need to change strings after playing 3 notes, my fingers kinda tilt the pick and I switch from USX to DSX to not get trapped. Is this a bad habit I need to break?
>>129288640my advice is don’t worry about it and keep playing and practicing
>>129288666okay thanks satan. my friend also got a guitar and were planning on taking lessons. is guitar center okay for lessons or should i look for a teacher outside of that?
>>129288681I’m afraid to say because my experience with GC lessons was not good. Just because people know something does not mean they are good teaching, and many people can lie about their credentials, saying that they are equipped to teach certain genres when it’s really just them assuming they can because they know a few songs technically. You really won’t know until you take a few lessons, but it would probably help to settle on a clearly defined goal first that you can convey to your instructor.
>>129288723i just want to make my picking feel more natural and improve my ability to make chords and move across the fretboard. id also like to be better at palm muting. im only a month in so idk if its even productive to think about what genres id like to play, but i think stoner doom may be a good beginner genre. slam too
>>129288757I think technique is one of the easier things to teach so if you pick a teacher that is clearly good at those things you’ll be okay.
>>129288771well id say ill do my best, but im really just playing because its really fun so it doesnt really feel like im giving it my all even though im playing atleast an hour or two a day. so i guess ill say that ill just keep playing, learning, and having fun. cant wait to start playing actual music with my friend once were both good. he gets his guitar tomorrow so ill bring my gear over to his house for us to learn together.
>>129288959don’t wait until you’re good to play together. try to make songs out of two chords and 3-note melodies. trust
>>129289011thank you. we'll try that. we were gonna play together tomorrow anyways, i just didnt expect it to be very productive since its his first day and im still new myself.
>>129280908I want a tele with a flat, satin neck.Is the Fender American Ultra II really the only option? that's 2400€
>>129283313if you want to safe some money, get the squier j mascis. I have one and it's a great guitar with a very nice satin neck
>>1292885061 b3 5 b6 b7 is a cool one. I dont know if it has a name, paul gilbert calls it soft phrygian
>>129289200allegedly some 0000 steel wool on the back of a glossy poly neck will give you a satin feel.
Don't use steel wool unless you remove the neck. A green Scotchbrite pad does the same thing without shedding metal everywhere.
>>129289381you can put masking tape over the pickup, dumbass
>>129289011Oh this is also what im practicing today. It seemed very simple and was tuned in e standard.https://youtu.be/UZjuzPU9UE4
>you can do a half-assed job, dumbass
>>129282243Retard detected
>>129289381that may happen when using wool on the frets, but you usually have it face down when working on the back of the neck. if any wool somehow got there you just take some compressed air and blow it off.
>>129289253I don't use signature models of people who suck at guitar
>>129289416playing with someone else is like practicing on steroids. set a drum track and if you make mistakes don’t stop keep going. you don’t always have to practice a song you can just make stuff up
Good thing J can play great. I will say I don't care for the screaming distortion in some songs.
>>129289381i used steel wool to remove a little bump in the finish that had built up where my thumb rests on the neck - this did not happen because i did not have the pickups below the neck, I tilted the guitar and the wool just fell to the ground
>>129289584the most important part is that you need to get used to playing to an audience, even if it's one other guy that is also playing with you. if all you do is practice at home, suddenly you forget how to play guitar when there is an audience
>>129289605>J can play greatno, he's awful. so bad he can't tell he's out of tune. legitimately a shitter on guitar no matter what SPIN magazine sayshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPjEfCoU4Co

>>129289729Sebadoh is better and J Mascis is an intermediate at best guitar player, nothing you can type will convince me that J Mascis is a good guitar player because I'm straight up better than him and I'm not that good

what pots, switch and pickups should I upgrade my classic vibe telecaster with? I'm not trying to pick anything super expensive in it, I just want something that's decent to upgrade to and give me some experience soldering. Or should I start with something else?
>>129290349if you want experience soldering just go to your local guitar store and ask if they have some junk pots and wiring you can have
>>129290349artec and gfs pickups are cheap and goodpots and switch isnt worth changing
>>129290314what causes someone to be like this?
Is a used Line 6 HX stomp worth $250? I really hate anything line 6 but I want something small.
>>129290545The pots in the cool vibe honestly suck. They cut out and are staticy. I tried deoxit for faders, but it didn't fix the issue. I looked at the wiring and everything seems fine.
>>129290681No.
I don't understand what flat vs quarter sawn is supposed to do for the guitars playability
>>129290767wood changes size and flexes with humidity and temperature changes. wood is stronger or weaker depending on how the grain is oriented in relation to the stress that is placed on it. for a neck where the strings are trying to turn it into a bow, quarter sawn provides the best resistance to that. the grain is almost completely unlikely to warp or twist also as the grain will move in the same direction and in a way that is in line with the tension of the strings. flat sawn is great for bracing on acoustic guitarist and the top is quarter sawn.
>>129289559fair, but the guitar itself is pretty good still.
>>129290817>>129290767The flat sawn gives you deeper EQ response, sometimes muddy if the wood grew up in a rainy climate. The long grain is great for long sustain. Ideal for jazz.The rift sawn one is focused on the mids and highs, doesn't really reach the bass (unless you cut it from basswood). The short grains don't allow for long sustain. Ideal for alternative music types, where the low end is provided by other instruments.Quartersawn wood gives you fairly equal, flat EQ, ideal for pop music.
Does anyone play really fucked up guitars that are more fucked up than these? The guy from a Place to Bury Strangers might be the most fucked up I've seen.
>>129290901when i tripped on salvia everything looked like it was cut in half like that guitar. my bong, my laptop, everything
>>129290895I work for PRS by the way.
>>129290767Nothing. It's a nice to have but tends to make things more expensive. Manufacturers get more cuts out of flat sewn than quarter sewn.Guitar necks went from having no truss rod, to a metal bar, to adjustable truss rods, to dual action, and now carbon fiber enforced truss rods. A good neck is a good neck, you can have quarter sawn necks that are just absolute shit. For similar price, I'd lean toward quarter sawn but it's not make or break.Nowadays made in Indonesia/Korea guitars are kicking people's asses by making those standard features on cheaper guitars, same with rolled fretboards. No need to pay an MIA tax on things that should be standard instead of pure profit/paying for the label
>>129290817>flat sawn wood>rift sawn wood>quarter sawn woodthese are some nice names

You can't walk into a store and ask them to give you a guitar, play it somewhere in a quiet room, check every fret, adjust the truss-rod to straighten the neck and ask to take off the strings to check it with your notched straight-edge, wiggle the knobs for 2 hours to simulate months of use, etc.
