>>129638214>my bed is queen sized>regular comforter>idk what that last one means
>tube ampturn up gain knob until desired level of gritty, but pleasing sounding saturation. if you need to play harder or have too much gain, just turn the volume knob on the instrument down slighty, tone is preserved.>solid state ampkeep turning up gain/drive, start to hear tiny bit of saturation. play slightly harder, full blown distortion. turn gain knob up slightly, full blown distortion but just less audible than if the gain knob was up more. turn gain knob down slightly, no saturation at all.am i retarded or is this how this shit actually functions in a practical application? seems like if i went solid state i would just skip the drive circuit entirely and run a fuzz pedal

Speaking of tube amps I need to decide on the tubes I’m going to install in my ratpiss blackface bassman, I was thinking of using NOS tubes but honestly I don’t know enough to decide, any recommendations? I’m calling Wednesday to bring it in the authorized repair center.
Does anyone else feel a need to keep their first (or a sentimental) guitar (mostly) stock? The frets on my shitty bullet mustang finally became unplayable after 8 years, and I've thought of replacing the neck for a thick one since it's really thin, but I can't convince myself to do it. Same case for the pickups
>>129638921

>>129638922Nah I dont even have my first anymore. I'm not sentimental like that.

>>129638921my uncle is a super big tone head and tone chaser and even he stopped doing the NOS tubes on his old Fenders, he has two twins, a deluxe, a super reverb, and plenty more he just likes fixing old amps, but he says there is no real difference in tone but the NOS are more durable supposedly.
>>129638252No one can answer this
>>129639073Actual retard post. This is why guitardists still buy tubes in the 21st century.

>>129639076>>129639076Your uncle touched you in middle school.
>>129638922I like to keep it in playable conditions so it's impossible to keep it entirely stock, I've replaced the bridge as well as the tuners and the switch as they were various degrees of broken

Damn L.A is getting lit. I'll let all you fags in on a Locals Only secret. The 1720 is becoming the premiere spot for extreme metal in L.A. All the trust fund fags are scared of going there and legitimate talented bands haunt that spot. Yes it's surrounded by human homeless filth but ive never had a problem there. And I know and am cool with the set the black security is from. Good venue gets too hot though. For rich kids the location is jarring next to a graffiti ed freeway amd homeless tents and "homes" rats the size of cats. Lmao this ain't Hollywood dumb bitch. But the shows and bands are killer everytime. And the homeless never fuck with the cars here. Too much retaliation. We dont respect the homeless in L.A if youre native born to L.a . Always the flyover tourists that get filtered out eventually. Belphegor is playing tonight there at the 1720.

I've played solid state and modelers, is playing tubes really something you notice? Or is it like toan paint? Looking at Engl Ravager
>>129640987they sound great with any guitar anywhere in less than 60 seconds. you have to fuck with a modeler for 4 hours to get it to sound good once with a single instrument.
what lacquer did they use for old guitars? 90's-00' thinking i can just recoat some sections
>>129640987Recording sound wise and how it might sound to other people in the room modelers are now on par with valve amps - provided the one fiddling with the controls know what they're doing. Playing valve amps compared to some modelers and SS amps, the slight difference you might perceive is the dynamic range and the "sag" when you're playing the valve amp with the master quite high up.
https://voca.ro/12CAaYRiLBPQ
heres the secret, everything sounds the same when its recorded thru my $8 logitech webcam
>>129641003I'm more interested in feel than the sound really, I've heard a lot of talk about immediacy and response and that kind of thing. Then again guitar players tend to be full of shit. I've been fairly satisfied with my gear so far, good enough for practice anyway, but I've been just wondering if I've been missing out. Starting to seem silly that I've been playing for so long and have never played "the real thing".
you talk about toanwood but what about toan paint?
i use toan air, i exclusively play in rooms filled with a proprietary mix designed for maximum toan
Modelers are on par to people who don't care about tone, aren't playing, and after someone spends hours tweaking the settings to your rig. Good equipment sounds better and naturally responds. As long as you don't have graphic eqs and a ton of push pull switches, dialing in tube stuff takes one to two minutes. You can do it on the fly. The more space your music gives for guitar to breathe, the more a great, "on par," or shitty tone is going to flex.
>>129641019and if you release your music to the public everything will sound like an iphone's speaker since that's what people will use to listen to it

>1200$ vs 300$I guess the Schecter is demanding a whole fretboard leveling and not just a spot leveling. Depressing.
>>129641371wat
>>129641020In my specific use case, gear and experience yes there is a difference "feel wise" between a tube amp combo and the quad cortex I'm using through it (via 4 cable method through the same amp). Sound wise can be too specially when I'm using the valve amp a bit louder at it's 50 watt mode (in favor of the tube). But at low "I don't wanna bother anyone else" volumes the difference in sound and feel between the two is squashed to negligible; daresay even favoring the modeller since I can shape how bright or squashed it can sound like compared to the tube amp which sounds meh at those levels.If you'll be able to make the valve amp work close to it's "intended" volume (obviously a tiny princeton had a specific use case in mind compared to some big ass 100 watt marshall).You'll just be disappointed trying to get joy out of a big amp + 4x12 in a small apartment with neighbors. TLDR there is some feel difference, and if you're getting one make sure the wattage/speaker size and count appropriate to your usual use case.
>>129641371Damn that's fucked up. Does the schecter look cool at least?
Time for some scales before work
>>129641398Do you think that would be the case with on one (or less) watt? I live in the boonies so I'm not worried about my neighbors but I am worried about my ears. Is it a cranked amp thing or a volume thing?
So you're saying I don't need 40 watts to play at bedroom levels? What are you my mom?

>>129641395I forgot to mention, those are the rocking frets with the spot where it rocks: 4th fret between strings A and D for example.>>129641412Not as cool as the Squier.Now I'm pondering whether to spend 400$ on fret leveling and crowning equipment or to pay someone 200$ to fix it once. Buying the stuff means I can fix my "future guitars", but I would also need to practice on some guitars or potentially ruin my guitar in the process.
>>129641453my guy just raise the action and be done with it ya'll fiddle with the shit when you should just be playing, my epi has a high ass 3rd fret so i can't put the action where I like it so I just suffer with a spongey 12th fret.

>>129641456>>129641464I'm already at 2mm (almost 0,08 inch), 0,010 inch relief and tolerating buzz through the amp (most prominent on the 5th fret low E).I think I'm close to having a stroke from all the pent up anger from having to tolerate this.
>>129638219>want to finally break through my plateau>can't find anything because i'm obsessed with being thorough and comprehensiveI gave up on the comprehensive part. Identifying one area to work on and finding a good resource is what I settled for. Learning the major scale and all of its shapes was somethingthat I have been putting off for 20 years. I played by learning the scale's notes and just playing them across the neck. Learning shapes is faster and doesn't require memorization and feels more systematic.This book was a breakthrough. His way of showing you why those shapes are constructed that way is worth gold. The simple realization of how half-steps and steps look when played across strings is the most simple, yet most important thing. I was able to construct the 5 shapes by using the root note positions and now I'm practicing them.I have the major scale shapes and triads (major and minor) across the 4 string groups. I guess I should also learn the minor scale shapes, that's the next chapter in the book. The more I learn, the longer my practice routine gets. I think I won't come off with less than 30 minutes of practicing a day. It's kinda difficult when I need to wind down after work and when I should also spend 30 minutes practicing the piano.
>>129641496don't buy guitars on the internet
>>129641435https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/media/images/decibel-chart.01.16kh_DFE.jpgIf you're worried about your ears just keep your exposure to sounds at 90dBSPL under an hour a day. Dunno if the phone spl meters these days are accurate enough for that, but as a general rule if you have to raise your voice to have a conversation then that's loud and you'd want to A. Limit exposure time or B. Reduce volumeA 1 watt tube amp might be loud enough to damage your hearing over time (years) if it's cranked through high sensitivity speakers. I only say might as I don't quite recall how loud my broken 1 watt Laney cub's mode could be through a v30 speaker, but it's thinny and not that loud through it's natural 10 inch built in speaker.If you're asking if there would be a difference in your current modeling/ss set up feel wise vs a 1 watt valve amp.. maybe? Depends how much headroom the tube amp you wanna get has. If its 1 watt through 10 inch speakers.. I can guess not much.>>129641453That's the newer Nick Johnston one's innit? Shame about the poor fretwork out of the box. Just diy level it/get it levelled manMilehouse studios (new tech, simple tools) and stewmac (old vet, will shill his own tools) yt channels for a diy reference
>>129641587Thanks for the info. I already have to run a fan at night to drown out the EEEEEEEEEEEEEE that lives in my ears. A db meter is a good idea. I was thinking a 1x12 cab. Think it's time to see what I can trade in and find out for myself. Thanks again.
>>129640535Will I be able to do this?
>>129641587It's the previous gen Nick Johnston. There's a newer, 10th anniversary model.>milehouse studios>stewmacI'm watching all of those religiously. There's also the MusicNomad videos. I'm trying to figure out which ones to get. Stewmac stuff costs a fortune, but isn't without flaw. There's a video of a guy getting his Fret Kisser replaced multiple times and it's still not working as advertised, even after the dude running the shop tested it.
Why are they so expensive?
>>129641805girls? idk man
>leveling beam large and small>neck support>straight edge, straight edge notched>quality fret rocker>fret crowning file>fret dressing file>fret polishing stuffI just calculated everything using mid-range products and it costs 446€. It's something you buy for life, but how many guitars does a normal person own in their life? Assuming that one professional fret-job is 200€, that's two you can get for the price of tools. Therefore, if someone plans to work on 3 guitars, it has already paid itself off. But I'm not taking into account knowing how to work with it. Chances are I will ruin 1 or 2 guitars before I know how to use it.
You're assuming I'm getting any of that done as opposed to just selling them

>>129643254u w0t m8? Why would having locking tuners be bad for a guitar with a floating (vibrato) bridge?
>>129643277it's not that the tuners are bad, it's the trem. if your bridge is floating locking tuners dont anything except cost and weight i guess

>>129643529
am i retarded or is the tone knob on my telecaster deadi feel like it isn't really changing much in my tone but if i listen REAL hard especially when i set it to the buzzy bridge pickup, rotating the knob makes the buzz sound a little different but i can barely hear anything different about the rest of the sound regardles of which pickup i set it to. is my shit busted or is it realy not that big of a difference?
>>129643573my butt is fartin'
>>129643578if you turn the tone knob all the way down it should like someone is playing your guitar from behind the other side of a wall
>>129643578are you able to take a pic of how its wired?
>>129643594yeah i knew i wasn't fucking crazy. shit has a barely perceptible difference when actually playing it. i think the cap might be bad.>>129643595might have to update in a later thread, out of town and won't be able to get to it till tomorrow night. i did open it once, and i did not that the soldering spot on one side of the cap looked a little brown. like a tiny but and there were no scorch marks anywhere else or anything just a little brown mark on the solder of the cap. could be a super easy fix if so. i'll post it as soon as i get the chance.

the 6th string on my acoustic is 5mm high and i already have tightened the truss rod like 2 full revolutions and i dont know how to adjust the saddle and the nearest fucking guitar center is like 5 hours away and gas prices are high and i want to fucking kill myself because this thing is so fucking annoying to play and i just want to learn
>>1296439475mm at the 12th fret*
>>129643947what do you mean you don't know how to adjust the saddle you literally just move a screw up and down you don't even need to take off any parts
>>129643947Probably needs a neck reset. Just get a new acoustic. I recommend Yamaha.
>>129643837what is this
>>129643947take a pic instead of hoping gg will telepathically fix your guitar
>>129643986positions of G major and E melodic minor next to each other so i can practice modulating during autumn leaves>>129643966mb looks like acoustic saddles are way more of a pita electric stay winning
>>129643994yeesh. can’t wait til you don’t have to write out all that shit like that
>>129644008give it a week or two. the point is to use the paper to fully explore the scale instead of sticking to one or two positions i'm comfortable with. most of the time is spent not looking at the paper, but without the paper what am i memorizing

>>129643854>only illegal in the european unionwho cares
>>129638219I practice in my head all the time. When you get to decades of playing a myriad of instruments, you do it automatically.>transcribing the beeps in Chik Fil A>thinking of the nastiest chord progressions>doing odd time subdivisions against my turn signal clicks>reharmonizing songs in my head>transposing chord progressions of known songs out of daydreaming After a certain amount of time, you realize that chops can be restrained in 3 days of 2hour practice, harmonic knowledge never leaves you. I used to try to max out practice when I was young, but 8-hr practice sessions feels like a job that doesn’t get you pussy. Even with bands, unless you’re working in jamming, anything more than 3-hours for working in your set(s) is a waste>>129638237>some people like to complain
>>129644112adhd has been my biggest asset as a musician my brain will literally never shut the fuck uptheres a little guy in there humming along to whatever song i've been practicing latelywhen i sit down to practice that little guy tells me what to play
>>129644129Agreed senpai. I think there’s an archetype of musician that’s endlessly creative. I remember creative tests that would ask you for all the uses for a brick, and I’d write at least 50 when they asked for 10. Or, school assignments that I’d come up with 5 variations when it just asked for 1.>it feels like a compulsionAlong the way, the “ADHD mind” helps you hyper-prepare for all hypotheticals. I find this in songwriting, where I can write tunes on command and be able to swap all parts (chorus, verse, outro, bridges, sonata forms, etc.) with as many variations. The drawbacks is that you can intimidate others if you’re in a band (“hey, leave space for me… but uh what’s a good note over Aadd9?”). Or, you lose a bit of magic when you know what’s behind the curtain.
>>129644033well the traditional method would be to learn the notes instead of the shapes that what the sight reading is for but I’m also a shapes person so
>>129644209there's not really a difference. a shape is just where the notes are when your hand is in a specific position on the fretboard. you'll notice the x's, those are notes that are not in reach in that position. at the end of the day you learn both - it's pretty easy to understand that the C and D become sharp and move up a fret when you go to melodic minor. the paper is a crutch while my ear learns the notes
https://voca.ro/18LXh98Qfk0a
>>129644201the biggest drawback is actually that you spend way too much time hyper-preparing and never performone side of yourself has a voice and wants to share it, the other side is critical of that voice and says you're not ready. the magic happens when you can soothe that critical side
Isn't filing fret ends part of a company's QC? Cause mine are sharp as FUCK
>>129644256Nah I always focused on arthoes, so the hypercreativity means more arthoes>simple as
>>129644236you think there isn’t a difference but there is.
>>129644278my point is that if all you're doing is hyper-preparing the only "arthoes" you are impressing are in your head
>>129644269no actually unless you buy from a good company. feñder and yidson just bevel them
>>129644297care to elaborate i explained my point of view pretty well and vague retorts are unconvincing
>>129643947The truss rod doesn't adjust the action that much. You reduce the action by sanding down the saddle until you get the desired one.
>>129644311damn, guess I'm retarded for thinking I can buy a guitar and actually play it
>>129644316learning shapes is a great way to hear intervals but it won’t establish as strong of a link towards perfect pitch as learning the notes as a primary. it’s also slightly slightly less efficient when it comes to having to decode multi-layer information. say you are trying to match a mode or scale with a key and progression that is using a lot of add chords or voice leading, instead of having to juggle multiple shapes psychologically and see which fits best, as long as you know the notes in the chord you can just target them on the fretboard even if they are out of position so it’s only one thing to think about. you will know where the notes are from sight reading. again it’s not a big deal and learning shapes is a gateway to fretboard memorization but I would say it’s a detriment to your potential to stop there
>>129644339Wrong
>>129644385well the plan isn't to stop there and i don't think you are proposing a better way. i don't even know what you are suggesting besides "learn the notes". ok, how. i seem to be doing that already
For barre chords can I just bar my finger on one on the roots instead of across the whole guitar?
just ignore him anon he pretends to know what he's talking about and it becomes clear he doesn't know anything when someone bites and tries to have a conversation with him
>>129644449Partial barres are common, and really the only way to play some chords.
>>129644432well your chart doesn’t have the notes and it isn’t even on a staff so I’d say you are not actually learning the notes
>>129644461>he says while posting on /gg/
>>129643947Someone call the whambulance this pussy’s coding
>>129644522you can only call a code while already in care so what would calling a second ambulance do
>>129644537The second one could bring a lethal injection to put him out of his misery
>>129644494if i write the names of the notes i'm not learning anything i'm just reading the notes. i'm supposed to fill in what note it is with my brain to associate the fret with the note
>>129644574additionally its pretty easy to tell which note is which because the C and D (C# and D#) are crossed out to denote they change when modulating so i know those are C and D and I can fill in the rest with my brain
>>129644574so shapes………

>>129644449You can literally do anything you want to make it work gitbro. Everyone's hands are different. There are tips to use your body to anchor the guitar in your stomach area with your picking forearm while strumming and actually bend the neck back a bit (not reef on it, but enough to help the barre contact the strings). You can rotate your finger slightly so it barres on the side of the finger to avoid the creases of your index finger. You can press your finger HIGHER across the 6 strings so it actually comes off the 6th string more than normal. You can adjust your arm DOWN & OUTWARD in a J shape physically to get more leverage. And finally, yes you can play partial barres and even ignore troublesome treble strings, just get good at muting them. Also, get a proper setup from a worthwhile guitar tech. Not some chain-store guitar tech who spends like 5 minutes on your guitar for $XYZ dollars. But someone with a reputation for giving a shit about your instrument. Go to a guitar store and try higher end guitars and try barre chords on them. Try different string gauges too. Barring on thin strings is a lot easier than mediums or heavies. Just you don't get the same tone and with abuse, they'll snap easier. Try leaning to barre on an electric vs an acoustic. Soooo much easier. But your hands will get much stronger on an acoustic. Also, try playing standing up versus lying down on your bed or sitting in a chair. Barres seem a lot easier to handle standing up. Again, you can use your body to anchor the guitar and control it. That's literally half the battle, physical instrument control. If you're struggling, then it's your technique that is faulty.Just some ideas to explore.
>>129644449I solved this last time
