Important question time: What is your FAVORITE guitar in /gg/ that isn’t your own?
1st 4 never shittin/gg/ cum#IntactBlackCherry
>>129609297Guitarra Condor
>>129609297Maybe that rosewood tele.
>>129607268gotoh is easily the best value for moneythey make really good shit that somehow is still cheap due to the weak yen
UNimportant question time: What is your LEAST FAVORITE guitar in /gg/ that isn’t your own?
>>129609469All mustangs... except those two they're just okay
>>129609469I like everyone's guitars
First pedal dayI got the same pedal as the red hot chili heroin addicts guys!It sounds identical to all those 90s alternative bands i used to listen toI fucking love having a jobI fucking love guitar pedals
>>129609469I don't like that les paul speical or whatever with the shitty jerome garcia wolf stickerjust because of the sticker, specificallythe dead fucking suckwould rather listen to primus
>>129609594Based first choice, it is 1 better than the DS-1
>>129609436this probably.
>>129609594guitar pedals make you fat and retardedstop while you still have a chance
>>129609740>guitar pedals make you fat and retardedWhy?Im already fat btw
>>129609765tetraethyl lead
>>129609740It was the floyd
I like the basses and acoustics. I don’t like any of the electrics
Are cheap guitars bad now or am I unlucky?Bought a Jackson for around $450 and the nut alignment is off, the frets are sharp and cutting my index finger, and a lot of the fret inlay detailing is kinda sloppy. Input jack is also loose.I have an old Dean and Epiphone in the same price range and they're fine.
>>129609907all guitars are bad now
>>129609907did you consult the chart in the last thread
>>129609888bassed
Am I allowed to use this with a bass?
>>129610050Peter Steele says yes
>>129610061Awesome. I fully expect to grow 25cm taller after using it.
>>129609594Pedals are chill asf
>>129610080Nice rig.After playing around with my DS-2 for couple of hours now I kinda have trouble getting anything else than some shitty punk rock tone like greenday or blink, i nailed the nirvana tone, oasis also i managed to get, weezer too, but now i have trouble getting early arctic monkeys tone. I just saw Turner used RAT for their debut. I saw that Gilmour also used Rat. I think I'm gonna get rat next but first ill get the dd-7
>>129610080Also >wearing sneakers indoors(presumably at home)very american
>>129610050yeah you’ll want a brighter tone than normal tho
>>129610118idk how everyone doesn't own a rat by now
>>129610177i hate the sound of a rat
>>129610197you probably just don't know how to use it
>>129610118Every good guitarist has a RAT that's just a fact.>>129610147>sneakers indoorsLand of the free baby
>>129609907Jacksons have meme qc but that sounds like an outlier even for them
>>129610232Can you tell me the best way to use it
>>129610315throw it in the trash. great guitarists have their own tone and style they don’t do what everyone else is doing.
>>129610330I have one because I like it and it works with well with my big muff
>>129610353yeah and that’s why you’re here
>>129610330you can get like 50 tones out of a ratif you can't make it sound good, you are unskilled
Is guitar a solved instrument? I can’t imagine anything beyond sweep picking, tapping, slapping, artificial harmonics, alternate tunings, slide, and hybrid picking. Then you just layer a bunch of pedals, and.. that’s it, right?
>>129610376No I'm here because I need somewhere to talk about guitars
>>129610454You're an idiot.
>>129610454if you can’t play in time or improvise you’re still a beginner
>>129610469>shoo shoo gainz goblin>>129610478I’ve been playing for decadesWhat I’m getting at is that there isn’t going to be any new guitarist that’s going to come along with new techniques and new sounds, right? The most people can do is use emulators first amps and patches as a midi contrillers, but after that? What else is there?I saw videos of newer shredders like that Mancuso kid, but he’s not doing anything that somenelike Paco de Lucia or other fusion guitarists have done. And if you take extended techniques, Sonic Youth has probably ran the gamut. Or even that Squareouaher track that has automated guitar with actuators and shit.So I ask again: what’s truly new or groundbreaking for guitar?
>>129610711You can play for decades and still have the skill level of a beginner
>it was the methheadlmao of course it was
>>129610711maybe those djent fags with their 20 string guitars are on to something
>>129610711the fact that you are so overly concerned with technique tells me you can’t play for shit
>>129610733>shoo shoo shooooooutta the house, now!>>129610744Yeah, at that point, it starts to be Chapman Stick or Fender VI territory. Still not seeing any techniques or configurations that capture much attention. Maybe the closest is fretless guitar or microtonal playing, but no clear trends that could be as revolutionary as 80s tapping
>>129610846tapping has been around for at least 100 years
it's a musical instrument not a skateboardis this really all you have to talk about jesus christ i hate the internet
>>129610846i hope you overdose retard
>>129610899don’t mind him he is obviously fucking retarded and sheltered. he probably thinks johnny cash invented singing and strumming because it’s the first thing he saw
>>129610822>shooooo shoooooooo shooooooooo>>129610846And I’ll add that the last “wow” I had was two-hand tapping (Preston Reed, Kaki King) or the crappy-on-purpose style (Spencer Seim from Hella).I’m sure there’s a Japanese shut-in that does something, but most of those are processed fakes.
>>129610940lmao bro you are fucking dumb. like super fucking retarded.
nooooo you can’t just play guitar and have fun, you need to do flashy gay soulless technical shit to impress normies
Any advice on making practice sessions more effective?
>>129611003Cope. I have fun and love doing technical soulless shit. Seethe because im faster and better than you and have more fun doing it.
>>129611006use a metronome and keep your focus active the entire time you're practicing. if you start to lose focus you lose 90% of the benefit of practice. don't turn your brain off and noodle unless you are in flow state
>>129611020Let's hear it
>>129611003Vittorio Camardese was two handed tapping in the 1960s and Stu Hamm was playing entire compositions with two handed tapping in the 80s on bass. There are more primitive videos going back to the early 30s showing a more fundamental tapping technique. Now it’s not even music it’s just rhythmic noise so not only is that guy retarded for liking people that do it worse, he can’t even grasp conceptually that a technique could be far older than these people. Even the gay shit Nigger Abasi is doing now is shit people were doing on bass in the 1980s. Most people are living in the middle of the bell curve and don’t even know it.
>>129611037I usually do my scales to a metronome but when I'm done that I try to do some book work. There are sometimes when I'm trying to do something in the book but I can't play it right. I've been trying to find more tabs from songs I know but all the songs I like have hard parts for beginners. I'm trying to practice chords but moving shapes on beat is pretty hard.
>>129611090>but moving shapes on beat is pretty hardwhy the "but", it's supposed to be hard. don't be a pussy
>>129611090this might help - being on beat is more important than getting the chord right. play the chord on beat and change to the next chord on beat even if you completely fuck it up. if you don't do that you will never learn to play in time and you will always get off beat when you make a mistake
>>129611107I know it's supposed to be hard that's not the problem. The problem is, my practice sessions not improving. >>129611116Would you even apply this to playing along to songs? I thought getting your fingers correct would be the first and most important step in learning
i have barely played my guitar since i started with bass a few years ago and im considering selling my 7 string guitar and amplifier to buy a really nice 5 string bass do you guys think that would be smart?
>>129611090half of the scale is in the chord shape
>>129611184yes you should always, always play in time. if you can't keep up, slow the tempo. never play out of tempo for any reason. practice switching between chords in tempo until you stop fucking up the fingering, don't leave tempo to figure out where to put your fingers
>>129611189you’ll get more gigs as a bassist and you have a lot more control over the feel of the song. educational material for bass is also a lot better because bassists are more open to learning and better understand musical concepts. 5 string isn’t used a lot out of gospel but if that’s what makes you happy go for it.
>>129610080Yes!
>>129611050What I am saying is that the apotheosis of tapping, taken from the “fundamental” or more “rhythmic”, is in its refinement to its logical conclusion.That’s why I say guitar is a solved instrument - what technique hasn’t been done or refined?
>>129611038No voca, interesting
>>129611287I found it weird that you said your mind was blown by someone that was only above average and derivative
>>129611270eqd enjoyer
>>129611318>angey driver with red remoteknower
>>129611310>stop avoiding the question with ad hominem, loosh harvesterI said, which technique HASNT been perfected>turn yer damn hearing aid
>>129611361here’s a technique that people haven’t used lately: write some good music
None of you fucking play.
>>129611381i played autumn leaves for an hour yesterday
>>129609436yeah, that was a thing of beauty
>>129611378>CorERUPTION
>>129611381Piano general is way better
i don't get the point of instrument-specific generals. i am on an autistic binge of learning music but the fun parts are theory songwriting and improvising i feel like instrument generals are for g or fa or something
>>129611419The slime brings you the breast of both worlds:https://voca.ro/15oloKkApYFb>don’t even try to play over it, the shredder already did this one
>>129611460there is no guitar in this post please stay on topic
>>129609436>tele: yawn>tele but shit brown: wow!!!
>>129611499no taste award, no wonder you always see shit where there isnt any
How the hell are you supposed to fingerpick on bass? Genuinely feel like I can't get this down for shit. I just end up playing with a pick. Also does anyone else have days where you feel like you're improving but you still sound like shit so it's still really frustrating?
>>129611560you user your index and middle finger its not hard
>>129611571No shit but how do you make yourself not sound like shit?
>>129611715You won't like the answer
>>129611748What, practice? I mean, sure. I mostly play guitar though and I just went back to bass recently after a few months and surprised by how much I am enjoying it.
>>129611560start practicing with 3 fingers now that way your future music teacher will both verbally and physically abuse you
>how do you walk>just one foot in front of the other it's not hard>how do you not walk like a retardidk it just comes naturally anon
>>129611560By fingerpicking on the top E string on guitar for years when bored so when you eventually buy a bass it just comes naturally.
>>129609459I recently bought a replacement Vibrato bridge from them and it fucking sucks. The vibrato arm is loose and wiggles in the sleeve. The screw doesn't keep it tightly in place.>>129609907What this >>129609920 guy said. I bought two 1000€ guitars recently and both of them have unacceptable QC issues, pretty much unplayable. The world has gone to shit, everyone is just looking to profit, in any way possible.
>>129612007this is why you have to try before you buy
This boomer is selling a Squier for 1500€. Delusional.
>>129612007my luthier was flabbergasted at my ampro strat from 2018 because it has two screws, one to secure the arm and eliminate wiggle room, and another to change how loosely the arm swings. said he only sees that in high-end aftermarket trem systems and fender stopped doing that in the ampro 2
Do you like soft picks or hard ones?
froosh pick
Okay guys, I have seen a handful (~3) of people online tuning their guitar half a step down and playing with a capo on the first fret. Is there a specific reason someone would do this? I can't think of an upside.
>>129612070looser strings without changing guagegoogle Eb strat it's popular without the capothe capo is because they are playing along to records and not in a band where they can tell everyone else to tune to Eb
>>129610454>Is guitar a solved instrumentIt's a dead instrument
>>129612083Ah thanks, yes that makes sense.Didnt play around with other tunings so far, have to try it out.
>>129612137i don't really recommend it. i think playing in standard tuning helps you learn the guitar faster. other tunings are for larpers or people who know what they are doing and have a reason to do it
>>129612047How much more expensive is that to produce? Probably not by much. I mean, how hard is it to create a product where 1 piece of metal is fixated solidly to another piece of metal. There should be technology which enables that in a reliable way by now.
>>129611715>how do you make yourself not sound like shit?attack the strings as light as possible and let the amp do the work, most bad bass players slam the shit out of their strings and thus sound absolutely dogshit, it can be a stylistic choice but even then it needs to be done properly and controlled or you will just sound like shit.
>>129612070They have a broken nut.
>>129612158i've found the bass kind of forces you to do this otherwise you get fret buzz. if you just play the notes strongly enough not to buzz it sounds fine
>>129612188I have no earthly idea how you can buzz more if you pluck softer, like how does that even work?You telling me you get more buzz when the frets move less? Even if that were the case, it means your instrument has fret issues and nothing with your technique.
>>129612454strings move less*
i know nothing about this little meme song song existence. help me with the chordshttps://youtu.be/lpUi2St40zoEb, Cm7, Fm, BbFm, Bb, Gm, Cm D Ebthen it's differentEb, ...??
>>129612122I mean, at a certain point, all instruments blend based on their function and limitations. I think this is why Asian guitarists are able to play adeptly but uninspired because it really seems like there’s a “Suzuki”-esque paint-by-numbers methodology/syllabus to guitar. Finding original sounds leads me more often to either modding something to sound like something else (a constant drone is one step away from a hurdy gurdy, a violin bow on guitar is a step away from Joe Venuti violin bowing, tapping with drum sticks is a hammered dulcimer, a Down tuned guitar is a bass, et al). But technique-wise, even the virtuosos aren’t coming up with something beyond Stanley Jordan touch guitar. Maybe adopting the hypnotic guitar of Tuareg music or whatever the hell the guitarist is doing in Girl Band’s “Why They Hide the Bodies under My Garage?”:https://youtu.be/KRdDTz8wL30
>>129611300Tubes are warming up, he'll post it any moment now!
>>129612750based Stanley Jordan mention. i enjoyed pic related.
>>129611050The selective picking arpeggio thing of his is a new sound born of 2 techniques. Sweeping and hammer ons. Very different rhythmic feel and sound rather than those 2 alone>>129612695https://youtu.be/G3lSONLLx70Not the lesson you were looking for but this is where they got the chords from. You'll hear it better here without getting cut short.>>129612070I did did to experiment if it would get rid of my dead F note on the G string, don't think it worked. >>129611020Is it cooked yet? Kindly end it with a G and Eb double stop so it's harder to find a specific internet clip to pilfer off lol.
>>129609436>>129609689>>129611390awww shucks hyuk hyuk
>>129612868cool! never watched ratatouille, so i had no ideathanks!took my 5 seconds to google the chords now, I see the original key is 1 semitone down. easy!
i love my crush 12, wish there were cheap tube amps that can do doom and black but crush 12 is at least all analog even if it's ss
>>129612750Holy shit someone else who likes gilla band. Most normal is one of the albums that made me want to play guitar
man I knew you guys were fucking stupid but goddamn. just read the last 30 posts

>>129613581What's wrong with Stanley Jordan?
I just realized Strange Brew solo from Eric Clapton is absolutely identical to Crosscut Saw by Albert King and it was absolutely mind blowing.
>>129613747Clapton's solo on Sunshine of Your Love is also the melody to Blue Moon. What a HACK.
>>129613778If he can do this, we can too. Nothing to be ashamed of!
Chorus pedal came in, last chorus I had was an old CE5 and it was cool but I didn’t like it as much as my older CE2. This CE2W is perfect, three perfect sounding but different chorus sounds in one pedal. It’s still wild that Boss/Roland nailed chorus 50 years ago and everything is still compared to that.
>>129613832your blues driver is after your fuzz?
>>129613864The Gain Changer is my edge of breakup OD, the Blues Driver I stack with it to get into overdrive, and I’ve been experimenting with locations for the fuzz. It used to be after the EQ but I’m growing to like it more right up front after the tuner and before any compression or EQ. I don’t stack the fuzz the BD, sometimes I’ll hit the fuzz if I’ve got the GC on but most of the time I’ll kill any OD that’s on before hitting the fuzz.
>>129612158Wtf. I still sound like complete shit but that is a noticeable uptick in quality. Thanks, anon
>argues with a GC wagie for over an hour just to save $50
>>129613778another bites the dust is just good times by chic
>>129613832might be the most boring pedal board ive ever seen.

>>129614064hes an insidious type of shill because he presents himself as being unbiased when literally ever single thing you have or will ever see on the channel was paid for by an advertiser just like every other shill channel literally the only difference is he livestream shills sometimes

You should really show some respect to our Desert Storm vets
why do they fucking do this? the cheap models always look cooler
>>129613964you can also get a much softer tone by making more contact with the string while plucking - sometimes I'll have my finger parallel to the string in order to get a more smooth sound. conversely, a 90° angle will be the most aggressive.
>>129611460if i want to play over this i will turns out i dont though because its not very good or inspiring yeah?
a few days ago i was discussing how i was having problems changing strings when i had to play 3 notes on a string with some other anons. i came across this video and its what ive settled into.https://youtu.be/tVKAbx3KLXYhttps://youtu.be/tVKAbx3KLXY
>>129614859so glad i just picked all this shit up innately god damn i do not have the patience to learn from someone else 8 minutes of talking that can be boiled down into 2 sentences ffs Justin.
>>129614882idk man im not very talented but its alot of fun so ill keep playing
>>129614892oh don't mind me im old and a curmudgeon justinguitar is a great teacher.
>>129614897no problem
>>129614882this is why I recommend taking lessons from a teacher that is a specialist in a genre. it’s better to learn technique through music and they know the songs that teach those techniques well and how to lay them out in a logical progression. or at least that’s the hope; my bluegrass teacher took hard songs and removed notes that didn’t matter so you had easy medium and hard version of the same song you could progress through but the easy songs still sounded full
>>129614926how do you find a good teacher
>>129614926I just recommend learning how to learn, you can do this yourself its called chunking. It applies to everything in life not just guitar. A teacher is great if you need an outside perspective on something you've struggled with for some time. Most people have a very hard time being objective with themselves due to ego.
>>129614936they should all offer a free consultation and you can ask them for questions and what a progressive curriculum would look like from them. I like the teachers on artistworks.com if you want me to be honest. it’s a masterclass type learning environment where everyone can upload a feedback video and the instructor replies to it with feedback; everyone can see everyone else’s feedback and it’s all archived. not as good as a great teacher in real life but better than an average or worse teacher in real life.
https://voca.ro/13UjzJ8dqBUZ
>>129614959you could also just do this I guess. if you’re going to skip lessons the best way to learn is to jam with other people preferably much better than you
>>129614967that sounds really good, but maybe a bit advanced for me
for me I just ask /gg/How does I sweeping arpeggio
>>129614959im actually pretty good at learning and advancing skills which usually makes up for my lack of talent for stuff
>>129614993like this brohamhttps://voca.ro/17yI9I4iFrWe
>>129614997thanks doc i'm cured
Should I buy guitar pedal? Have been using the effects from THR amp and it doesn't sound that good to me.

>>129615094>UM ACTUALLYthat wood is clearly finished, but I know what you were getting at. why do these fly by night builders always use barn lumber or something that looks piss green
playing brown guitars in mineycrafta
You know they say that all men are created equal, but you look at me and you look at that 245 lb 5"10 Mountain of a man and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another guitarist, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat me. Then you add lvl1 slime to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way in Missouri, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because lvl1 slime KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try!So Mountain, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus my 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning in Missouri. But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning in Missouri. See Mountain, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at the battle of the bands at Guitar center.

who are these guys?
>Who do you think you are? You any kind of guitarist? Anybody know who you are? Maybe everyone else wants to enjoy the peace and quiet? This is one of the most important threads in all of 4chan. Who are you? Who are you!!? You miserable, presumptuous, no talent. You’re no guitarist. A guitarist respects the barn lumber, it services the foundation of creativity.

Have you ever gotten so good at one thing you just want to keep pushing forward with that one thing and have no desire to learn new things?
>>129615406i picked up guitar recently because i got decent at fitness and felt like it was good enough. so kinda the opposite
>>129615446I guess the difference with music is you actually get better. if you keep working out you become a freak with sleep apnea so I understand the switch
>>129615455that doesnt happen unless youre on a shitload of roids or just eating yourself into obesity lol. mostly you just hit a point of diminishing returns and it just becomes easier to maintain. im excited to try to get good at guitar though. im practicing scales right now before i go to sleep.
im having trouble remembering my strumming patterns
>>129615477I have ptsd and probably an undiagnosed tbi from when I was a teenager. remembering things has always been the hardest part of music for me which is why I never looked for gigs in a cover band. don’t worry keep practicing eventually it will all be feeling and you won’t have much need for memory
Bumped back to 10 from 9. 10s are kind of perfect to me. I like Standard and messing with alt tunings on the same guitar. 10s kind of work good enough for all of them. Not great, just good.

How did EQD fall off so hard? Or id it just the pedal industry in general thats gotten so fractured there isn't really a clear "boutique" leader anymore?
>>129616367There's never been a "boutique leader", only whichever company has the most youtube shills.
>>129616367Did they fall off? They're still releasing weird space station stuff alongside the useful pedals like always

>>129616382>>129616388I feel like they were everywhere and had the industry in a chokehold 5 or 6 years ago. Just seems like the hype has died down a lot. EQD's four knob series seemed like a complete flop.Same goes for DBA.

Only new production guitars (B-stock and lightly used) are worth buying. Old shit has garbage specs and is beaten to death. Custom slop is for pretentious twats who don't even play. New in box guitars are overpriced as shit these days though.Buy a <5yo guitar off the used rack and you'll have the best instrument of your life.

Why is it that when I play my Jackson with jumbo frets, hitting, and especially bending, notes above the twentieth fret it's nigh impossible to get it right but when I play the same on medium jumbos it's easy as fuck. On the former, I keep choking notes and make them sound bad or die but on the latter, I barely even need to try.
>>129617715>and especially bendingAre you used to a narrower fretboard radius such as Fenders? Not sure why you'd find smaller frets easier as far as just hitting the notes. Maybe you're pressing too hard and without the wood there to stop your fingers you keep going even harder?
>>129617062Lucky guy. Ive been wanting one
I still can't play minuet in G correctly and it's been like 4 days.
>>129617750Nah, the medium jumbo board I mainly play is 12 inch radius but the difference between it and the 16 in the Jackson is negligible to the feel. And even on the MJ I don't reach the wood with my fingers so it couldn't be that. It's not like it's impossible to hit the notes properly on the jumbos, it's just so much easier to screw them up but yeah, I'd imagine the opposite to be the case. Maybe the width of them plays a role to? The jumbos are considerably wider.
>>129617944Would look ten times hotter with an iceman headstock painted like the body.
>3:20pm>noodled on guitar for maybe 15 minutes>been up since 7amSome days I'm so motivated to work, others like this I'm just wasting away. God this sucks sometimes. I just wanna die but I also can't because I want to make music
>>129617970I think the headstock totally ruin what is already a pretty tenuous design so you're not wrong.
>>129617973Open your DAW. That usually gets me to engage and focus on playing for an hour when I otherwise would have just noodled for 10 mins before getting bored.
Noiselss tele set >>>> any humbuckers
Thinking about putting together a two pickup partscaster with a P90 in the bridge and lipstick in the neck
>>129618022Honestly I'm really digging the body design, it's just the headstock that looks so incredibly out of place. It's as if someone ripped a neck from a cool acoustic and slapped the electric neck onto it.
does a telecaster control plate have space for a 3rd knob? tone(hi-cut)-tone(lo-cut)-volume kind of layout
>>129618102You can buy a blank plate and drill whatever you want wherever you want.

I played guitar on-and-off for like 16 years and picked up a fretless bass one day in a music store and fell in love with it. I have been addicted to playing bass since and I like it better than guitar. Sometimes I think about ditching all my guitar shit for another nice bass because I hardly play my guitar stuff anymore. Sunk cost fallacy I guess. Something about bass just resonates with the way I think about music. I don't think it's simply a case of ease of instrument either...I also play violin, which has a way steeper learning curve than guitar.
>>129618578>bass just resonateshehBut if you play violin that could have been why the fretless bass roped you in, even if you've moved to frets since.
280th post
Where are they now?
>>129618661that was the 281st post tho280th reply
>bro can't count
>>129618717Typical for a guitarist.
are stacked humbuckers just noisier than side-by-side ones? I replaced a single coil bridge pickup with a "noiseless" one and I can't for the life of me get it to shut the fuck up. it has ever so slightly less hum than the singles, but it's negligible and nowhere near the reduction my full-size humbuckers provide on my other guitars.
>>129618727I believe so yes as most are wound with unbalanced coils so there's less noise reduction than a standard humbucker since they're aiming for a more single-coil type tone.
>>129618296Why is an overpriced pedal company a platform for sexuality? Most straight guys have to give two handjobs and a blowjob to managers for 50 hours a week, then go home to get shit on by their cheating wives. idk why a rainbow machine toy company thinks it has any room to teach us how to suck a dick.

>>129617973>>129617973> you’re not desperate enoughRead about Bukowski’s journey to fame. Inb4 he’s not a musician, but it’s really true. If you “try”, you will fail. When I was in my journeyman phase, I had NO PROBLEM sleeping in the woods or breaking into buildings for shelter if it meant another shot at playing music. And this was when I didn’t have any belongings, except for lyric notebooks where I’d jot down a song fragment for later. I did crazier things, but if you don’t have this all-encompassing need to do “the thing”, then you enjoy other things more.>id laugh sleeping in a wet, cold park bench knowing that the experience itself was even more grist for the mill to be unstoppable.>ask yourself, does the above sound familiar?If not, then hang it up or realize that maybe your subconscious is hanging you up.As both a writer and a musician, people always eye me weird when I say what I do for work. And then I tell them that my main gig is writing for the world’s largest companies; when I’m not doing that, I write music all the time. How can you tell them that you derive sublime satisfaction reading along to a Bartok violin duo score? Or, that you practice paradiddles on your gfs buttcheeks to stay in practice? How about automatically transcribing the on-hold music while you call the gas company?Again, none of this is forced. In truth, it feels like Nietzsche’s “Will to Power”, and never a drag. If it feels like a drag, then stop—maybe permanently. You may derive more satisfaction elsewhere.
>>129619711It always should have of looked like this
>>129619707It all helps. Eventually lights start to click on in your head and you're suddenly able to put it all together. All the abstract ideas start to flow together and you can understand the lingo and what they're talking about. So Get GUD Scotty stuff is very worthwhile watching. It just takes forever to get through 32.5 hours of him talking.Like it took me forever to look at fretboard diagrams and realize that the guitar was tuned in such a way based on the C major scale. Then I looked at the fretboard in a completely different way. Just repeating patterns of this C major scale up the neck. It helped me memorize the fretboard a LOT faster since it's just in alphabetical order basically going across all the strings AND up the particular string.Here's the first chunk. I'll post the fretboard diagram next.
>>129619789
>>129619789most if not all orchestral instruments are tuned to fourths, although depending on how you look at it cello and violin could be considered tuned to fifths but the strings closest to farthest away from you go in fourths just like guitar. The B and e strings being tuned to fifths was likely done so you would always have a a stacked root and fifth in barre chord shapes.
>>129609594I got my first one a while ago and it was a Boss DS-1 because I am also vanilla as fuck
>>129619711wow that actually looks pretty good
>>129619839>although depending on how you look at it cello and violin could be considered tuned to fifths but the strings closest to farthest away from you go in fourths just like guitar.
>>129619711>6 string pickups
>>129619839Yes, agreed. Thanks for posting that. Actually Scotty mentions this in his videos as to the why things are tuned that way. It's actually fascinating. He also mentions why guitar music is written 1 octave higher than it actually sounds. It took me a long time on my own to figure this out. But I was like oh hey wait, now that makes sense when he talked about it in the videos. So ya, the Get GUD stuff is really a game changer, at least it was/is for me. So ya, I appreciate finding out about it from this GG forum. I may not have ever found out about it otherwise. So thanks for that!
>>129619754it doesnt feel like a drag to play. in fact most days all i can think about is playing or trying to get better. it's just that my efforts with guitar at least arent going as well as i hoped. with bass i had very little to no issue with getting the hang of playing songs and learning the instrument. with guitar i am failing at a beginner's book songs for 3 days in a row, which is discouraging. i have been looking for new songs to practice and play that i know already but the songs i like are complicated. i just really want to see myself making some good progress on guitar by the end of the month. im going to keep working as much as i can on it
>>129619789>>129619805Further proof that Phrygian is King
>>129619870a fifth is just a fourth in the opposite direction. high e string is called the first string. it’s all semantics just depends on how you want to look at it I consider the thickest string the first string because we always look at scales in that direction anyway so it just makes sense
this is it the final /gg/ee/gg/ee forever ;_;

If I've been learning on a 5 string bass but don't really feel like I need the B string, should I just get a 4 string instead?
>>129619839> most if not all orchestral instruments are tuned to fourthsWrong. Why are you like this?Violin: GDAEViola: CGDACello: CGDA>all fifthsDouble bass: EADG>only one in fourths The b and e strings are in 4ths. If you’re thinking of the low pitched e to b relationship, that’s a 12th.>>129619893Ok, good answer. I really discourage learning from a book. No one has EVER asked me to play “Merrily We Row Along” or some shit.Having a bass background, you already had an understanding of the bottom four strings (just down an octave), so that’s more than half the battle.The way I learned guitar at 19 vs learning bass at 15 was playing all the basslines I knew and getting used to the string spacing. This includes picking, but I recommend a low-lit room, putting in your favorite jams, and trying to pick out a few notes here and there.For me, I love early guitar music, like Eddie Cochran and Buddy Holly. Their songs are simple, the guitar is easy to pick out, and you can just rewind the solos over and over again until you pick out the notes.Their songs “complications” of guitar just come from unfamiliarity. There are a number of concepts that mesh like a Venn diagram. Learning cowboy chords is like 75% of CAGED, single string picking is kissing cousins to legato playing, so on and so forth. My advice is learn until you get frustrated. I found that if I just played along to “Overkill” by Motorhead over and over, I eventually got it. Choose your favorite song (3 mins duration max) and just do it 20 times in an hour. Or, do “Nervous Breakdown” (2 mins) 30x in a row.
>>129620007I was not a fan of 5 strings either. If you want to play down tuned songs I would just get another bass and down tune that one.
>>129616367See how much better your millennial drab room looks with even a little color? There's not enough going on for one row of photos and monochrome.

>>129609907maybe it's just me, but i feel like i haven't played a guitar lately and thought "wow, this is great!" i think the worst playing guitars have gotten better, like i don't pick up anything and consider it "unplayable" now, but i feel like even 3k guitar that i've played just seem alright
