sounds like someones havin' fun
What do you expect to learn beyond blues licks, anon? Is there something else in leading guitar besides that?
There are no words that can aptly express the mixture of disgust and anger that begin bubbling within me whenever I see Kent Crawley. That kind of guy that goes waaaaay beyond fat. You can't even focus on the music because his physical form is just so uncanny. A boulder with glasses and six strings.
>Jaguar editionBaste. Also the new leaked Vintera III series looks really nice. Would be interested in the Mustang possibly.
>>129667846The guitar looks like it'd choke him to death by the end of the set
>>129667846It’s hard to tell whether he’s being smug or if his face is smudged by the fat. His gut actually forces the guitar at an advantageous angle so of course he can rip (into an entire box of twinkies)
>>129667853Are there pics of them yet or just text?
>>129667846imagine the smell
>>129667846We didnt shame enough nor the right people
>>129667846arent most of you already fat?
>>129667958Theres pictures as well. Supposedly going with matching headetocks, rosewood fretboards, and clay dot inlays. Probaly just an excuse to make them a little more expensive. >jazzmaster in sonic blue>jaguar in burst and sherwood green>mustang in olympic white>candy apple red bass vi
>vintera II jag dropped>another jag added to the lineup
Knaggs Kenai or Novo Serus? Asking for a friend.
Luv me Jag but I really only use it when I want vibrato
This color.
>>129668482easter candy ugly lookin ass
i never relapsed yesterday and ended up being sober cool. i still suck at guitar though so back to practice
>>129668482weird output jack hole
>>129667612>>129668386black vs white pick guard?
>>129668635I need to quit kratom so bad bro.
>>129668482Reminds me of a few lines by famed American poet Horst Christian Simco>Sling shot pocket like Bart J Simps>Seafoam paint>Top tint, thin mint
>>129668646All the S series guitars have that, I guess the body is too thin for the jack to go straight in
>>129668700his chain shows he got that dog in him
>>129668569No taste>>129668646>>129668702Yeah it's cause the body is so thin so it can't have it on the side like normal. Also why it has that plastic bit around the pickup selector. I imagine the thin body makes it super comfortable for playing while standing though.>>129668700Spitting. Seafoam is too good.
>>129668702not a musical colour
>>129668758You don't make music even with a "musical" color though.
>>129668796my guitar is wood coloured and wood is the colour of music
Musical color.
>>129668815meteora is the least musical fenderblue = double non-musical
>>129668810Yet you still don't make music.
>>129668856I've made more music than any blue guitar has
>>129668662I prefer a black one>>129668693Lucky for me it's only weed so after the first 24 all my cravings are gone
>>129668886two times zero is still zero anon
>>129668635YOU WILL PREVAIL>love, slime
>>34335523Gonna need /gg/‘s help
>>129668635I'm addicted to information idk how to fix this if I don't have some form of stimuli (activity like playing guitar or reading a book is enough) I'll immediately need to start reading product labels or I'll freak out
>>129668886What >>129668930 said.
It's so easy. You just have to memorize the>Major>Minor>Mixolydian>Dorian>Lydian>Phrygian>Harmonic Minor>Phrygian Dominant>Melodic Minor>Lydian Dominant>Superlocrian>Diminished>Dominant Diminished>Whole Toneeach as its own tonality (regarding each as the "one" chord and all other diatonic chords relationship back to the "one.") and in all 12 keys; and have hundreds of different ways of sequencing, embellishing, arpeggiating, and playing rhythmic and melodic motifs through them while being simultaneously able to move from any given tonality to another in the blink of an eye, and also have dozens of common chord progressions baked in for each.
>>129669060no one has to memorize the whole toneif you actually have learned intervals to understand why any of the previous (let's just say five scales) do what they do, you'd understand how the whole tone scale works without even looking at it
After I'm done with the gym I'm going to look at humbucker bass
>>129669060and work all that out in vertical box positions as well as horizontally up and down each string, in string pairs, string groups, and combinations that move diagonally, covering the entire fretboard.
>>129669099you gonna get a stingray or something?
>>129669100and don't forget to add chromatic passing tones, enclosures, and approaches.
>drugs and boozecringewho here /no smoke no drink no drugs/ gang??
>>129669108Yeah and looking at a Jackson. Some anon linked one the other day. I might just end up putting a down payment instead of buying today.
>tune guitar half step down>stays in tune way longerwhat is this magic
>>129669133yeah, I have no friends so nobody ever got me into any of these
>>129669133I smoke a pipe a couple times a week like a fedoratipper while going on long walks through the neighborhood at night (in cold weather)save up alcohol consumption to binge during social events every other month or sostraightedge faggots are krimge
>>129669133Im sober because I'm saving money for more drugs
>>129669060>Major>Minor>Mixolydian>Dorian>Lydian>PhrygianYou missed Locrian, but you only have to memorize the major scale >Harmonic Minor>Phrygian Dominant>Melodic Minor>Lydian Dominant>Superlocrian>Diminished>Dominant Diminished>Whole ToneSame deal, you only have to memorize where the changed notes are from the major.As for the “synthetic scales”, they’re all pattern based and you only have to measure the repeating pattern…Or, you just do what Holdsworth does and just memorize the arpeggios/chords and all available notes. For example, just avoid the 4th 7th for dominant arpeggio, everything else is a color tone. A lot easier to memorize and “see” across the fretboard. As an exercise, set an octave of available notes (E to E), and play all arpeggios in that range. Get good at that.
>>129669188do you really have to memorize locrian though? It's not really used as its own tonality in popular music, and even when you've got a m7b5 chord to play over it's usually being used as a substitute for the relative dominant chord or some other such thing.
>>129669207Just memorize the major scale and m7b5 arpeggios. Eventually your hands will avoid notes automatically.
>>129669133Everyone in my band is straightedge but Im a wreck. I'm 4 days clean off xanax but I still drink and smoke. Im the lead singer and guitarist so this can be expected.
>>129669153Less string tension I guess.
>>129669133Music made by 100% sober people is boring. They at least need to have been an addict before going 100% sober so they know what good drugged out music sounds like
Drugged out people can make sober music but sober people can't make Drugged out music
>>129667846it's sad when you get to the stage of fat where you have to wear a strap to play the guitar sitting down. bc your belly blocks your legs.
>>129669307i'm an ex alchie but still find little ways to alter my state for creativity. like letting myself get a little dehydrated in the sun or taking melatonin and then not sleeping :3
>>129669150I’d consider a Yamaha trbx before a Jackson
jackson basses are ugly as fuck, never seen anyone play one in my life
I prefer flatwound 11s
>>129669433Ill look for one. Just a quick dumb question. These are humbucker pickups right?
>>129669489technically only the split coil is but it still sounds more like a single coil since you only have one set of windings and pole pieces on the strings.
>>129669486basado muchacho
>>129669188>you only have to memorize the major scale>you only have to memorize where the changed notes are from the major.This approach treats all the notes as though they have equal harmonic gravity in spite of the underlying harmony.
>>129669507So the pickups should be aligned for it to be considered a humbucker right?
>>129669719well you can have stacked single coils or a split coil like in your pic. you either need two sets of windings wound in the opposite direction with reverse polarity to cancel out external noise. you can also have a single coil active pickup that cancels electrical noise in the opamp but those are typically all multicoil pickups also. for it to sound like a humbucker yes you need two sets of coils directly exposed to the strings so they can pick up a wider spectrum of string vibrations. think of it as recording two guitar takes over top of eachother in real time each with a different eq.
why do some bassists have a glove on their fretting hand?
>>129669877>Scott Devine from Scott's Bass Lessons wears a glove to manage a neurological movement disorder called focal dystonia. The condition causes involuntary tremors or spasms in his fingers while playing. The glove works as a "sensory trick" that helps reduce these tremors and allows him to maintain control while playing bass, a method known to help manage this disorder.
>>129669772Thanks for the explanation. I ended up getting this westone GT bass. Has japanese pickups and sounds great. Only 170 after the trade for the micro synth.
>>129669944victor wooten and julian lage have the same disorder but they don’t wear gloves. i guess it doesn’t help them. apparently a lot of lifelong musicians develop it >>129669986nice man enjoy. you definitely have to try active basses out before you buy because they all have different preamps and circuits. enjoy
>>129668148thoughts on matching headstocks
>>129670030wanna see some mismatching headstocks
>>129670030sometimes looks goodsometimes looks badmostly bad on teles and strats
>>129668981you have adhd bonehead
>>129670030buh
>>129670030they’re ok but I prefer rosewood board with a burst and blonde maple neck with solid colors. it’s a Squier I’m not trying to hide the headstock
>>129670030I like them. Especially on maple fretboards.
>>129670052fake disease

>I'm too poor for a (thing out of my current budget), but I never need them anyway because they're trash
XX775X>erm actually this G chord is missing a sus2 and doesn't have a third so it can't workOkay but It sounds good especially when I go up to the octave on the B string
>>129670017I think Victor has it in his right hand/plucking hand, probably impossible to get through a set with a glove on. And God knows what that does to the tone. I've never seen anyone wear a glove on their plucking hand besides Scott in his old videos, but he also started only wearing it on his fretting hand. Always take a break when your body tells you. I'm very health conscious, so I take lots of breaks when practicing repetitive lines (i.e., get really high and forget there's a bass slung around my shoulder)
>>129668981This is ADHD I know because I have these same habits and was diagnosed at 11
>>129670193that’s a dyad not a chord
>>129670200unfortunately it’s in his left hand. any time you see him play with one finger it’s because his hand is curling up and he can’t open it. apparently he’s been doing a lot of psychotherapy and it’s been helping. fat rip tho
>>129670105lack of executive function and dopamine deficiency are real things despite what label they put on it
>>129670216No it isn't because the B string isn't the octave it's a Maj7Notes are G, D, F#

>>129670157>be poor>be angry on /gg/ every dayMust be rough
>>129670292the strings aren’t labeled
>>129669702Not exactly. Getting bogged down in patterns is a beginner approach. Then you learn that the chord arpeggio (context, harmonic rhythm, in vs. out playing) has color notes and you can choose those depending on which color you want to emphasis.As a mental heuristic, memorize the arpeggio and all available notes. There are only so many notes that work and you can avoid the ones that don’t work. Or, you can create tension by emphasizing the no-no notes.
>>129670319Sorry I did the chart wrong5 - D string7 - G string7 - B string
>>129670292thats not how you write chords the bottom string is your low E
>>129670314>raped bitchkek what a KWAB
>>129670337its still kind of a shitty voicing. you want the major third in there not the fifth. the fifth isn't doing anything
I don’t care about your amp I just want you to speak like a civilized human being.
>>129670193That's a D power chord (D5).
>>129670346I think it sounds good if you start with the octave on the 8th fret of the B string then move down & back up
>>129670346He won’t listen to you, he’s been told that many times here and he argues about it and says his way is right even though numerous people have told him the way he writes them out is upside down. Just ignore him.
>>129670204>some quack diagnosed me
you don’t have this problem with standard notation just saying
>>129670380i've heard what you think sounds good
I built a Fender fanboy pedalboard.
>>129670193That’s a D power chord, or if you’re retarded and typing it upside down it’s an Asus4.
It's a maj7 (no3) Anon was wrong to call it a chord though
>>129670400starts on 5th fret D string - G is the root
>>129670390Adhd is very real. If it wasn't autistic people wouldnt exist
>>129669188I really don't like when people conflate the root mode of a scale with the scales name itself. like aeolian natural 7 is the root mode of harmonic minor. so harmonic minor refers to seven different modes not just the root mode. well that's just me anyway whatever.
I just remember how the intervals sound I never bothered to remember mode names and family ancestry
>>129669060absolute retardjust learn major and minor and the derivations of both
just forget about major and minor entirely and call it the diatonic scale
>>129670485there is more than one diatonic scale
>>129670487yes but we're referring to "the" diatonic scalejust like there's tons of permutations of pentatonic scales but we only refer to "the" one we all know and love whatever works for you
>>129670499doesn't work for me
>>129670446Harmonic Minor is a scale family but Harmonic Minor is widely recognized as the scale>1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7
it’s the notes outside the scale that grab our attention.
I'm still gonna call it the major scale because I'm a major fan of it
why are they called accidentals when i played them on purpose
Is it normal to play guitar for a year and still suck at it
>>129670522well like I said whatever works for you but I see people comparing dorian to harmonic minor or something and in my mind you're in the weeds at that point. it's like what mode of harmonic minor are you referring to.
>>129670547Try playing it for 25 years and still sucking at it.
>>129670537but did you though?
>>129670560What's your definition of 'suck' though? I'm sure you probably just have higher standards for yourself after 25 years. Meanwhile, I'm wondering if I'll ever be able to play faster songs or shred or something.
>>129670547>Is it normal to play guitar for a year and still suck at itWhat do you have trouble with?I've been playing for exactly a year and I've improved a ton just by 30 mins to an hour a day, I'm not great but I feel like I understand the instrument
I actually had to rename harmonic minor to harmonic I scale. harmonic major would be harmonic II scale. the reason being half the modes of harmonic minor for example are major modes with a major third so calling it a minor scale is confusing.
>>129670557I usually see people comparing Dorian to Melodic Minor and sometimes using them interchangeably. I think "Dorian b2" is a misnomer for the second mode of Melodic Minor. Melodic Minor is analogous to Dorian, therefore the 2nd mode of Melodic Minor should be called Phrygian Nat6 rather than Dorian b2. In my opinion. And any scale with both a natural 3 and a b7 should be called "Mode Name" + "Dominant." Like how Phrygian Dominant is called that because it has all the notes of Phrygian but has a Natural 3 and a Flat 7. Some will disagree.
the names of the intervals never change. stay winning interval chads
>>129670598All I know about intervals came from Metallica's Orion.
>>129670597yeah you're talking about a dominant 7th chord structure, where you have a major triad but with a flat 7. but in my mind I can only refer to scales as dominant if they originally had a minor third but were modified. so lydian dominant I would actually call lydian flat 7 because it still had a major third to begin with whereas phrygian dominant is phrygian but with a major third. okay my head is exploding now but it's nice to see other people's rationality in terms of music theory.
>>129670581>What do you have trouble with?Playing fast punk rock songs. Playing songs that just require single notes sometimes. Arpeggios, fast chord changes. >I've been playing for exactly a year and I've improved a ton just by 30 mins to an hour a day, I'm not great but I feel like I understand the instrumentI play 2-3 hours most days though. I'm definitely improving but I still feel like I just outright suck.
>>129670590>>129670597>>129670557Or just memorize the arpeggio as the skeleton and add color notes as you see fit…>1 b3 5 7Usable notes are 2, 4 #4, b6, 6No-no notes are b9, 3, b7This approach is better because you can change the color notes as you go. That #4 is a sexy note, but the 4 is also a nice one. Same with the b6 (sexy MENA lady), and the natty 6 (sexy Audrey Hepburn).No scale memorization necessary>outthink the box, not think outside the box
>>129670350
which daw would you recommend for someone that just want to easily make Instagram reels and has some good sim tone options? I’ve been looking at fender studio one but it seems cumbersome and designed more for a full suite
>>129670716btw I don’t care about it being free I just want it to be intuitive and ideally not take a lot of time
>>129670716just for once... ^^^funny guy right mother fucking here^^^
>>129670716None daws are gay
>>129670575I just want to be able to improvise a solo that fits stylistically to whatever track I'm playing over without fumbling around, running out of ideas and fizzling out after starting a run, and playing clams all over the place. I want people to hear me and think I sound like a professional. For example, my band used to play "Back in Black" and I could nail Angus' solos from the album, but during the outro if it ended up going a bit longer or whatever and I had to improvise something it just sounded like embarrassing hit and miss aimless pentatonic noodling. I want to improve on that aspect of my playing.
To the anon that said my action on my p bass was high. I did not understand what you meant until I got >>129669986 now i 20 minutes of playing along to songs and it felt way more comfortable than my p bass
>actual legitimate music theory discussion in /gg/what fucking bizarro world is this
>>129670692I do like the approach of starting from the arpeggio as a skeleton and adding notes that are "correct" diatonically to create the scale. I also like Yngwie's approach of "fuck it I'm going to play the b7 and the natural 7 because the fingering is comfy and it's easy to shred" for certain "boxes" or scale "shapes."
>>129670817it's what happens when the slime/some other schizo fucks off
>>129670734literally pick up a real book this is what they are for
>>129670728>>129670730I’m being serious. I just said Instagram but it was shorter than saying I need to record video and audio simultaneously and load backing tracks in the recording even tho it is functionally the same. I’ve just been recording on a phone but the audio quality is too bad. I’ve tried external mics but they have artifacts and noise or just straight up fail in a few months.
>>129670716if you're making instagram you should get something cute that looks good on camera like an OP1 by Teenage Engineering
>>129670845Agreed. Passing tones are actually really useful, and it’s nice to use no-no notes if you’re going for stuff like Bartok’s split thirds (using both 3rds interchangeably). FUCK IT ITS BOTH MINOR AND MAJOR>>129670817>>129670854Ni/gg/a Ive been replying to all the best threads.>you’ve read and enjoyed my contributions and didn’t even know itlmfao do me a favor while you’re at it, take out my groceries and bring in my garbage.
>>129670575Drop tune your guitar.
>>129670845this concept goes back probably to shortly after the invention of harmony-based music. even miles said the note you play after determines whether the note is right or wrong. you can literally play whatever you want over anything you want as long as you eventually balance the tension with some form of resolution. it’s why victor wooten and some others I’m sure champion the music as a language approach and believe that you don’t need any theory or even technique to be able to improvise. anyone that isn’t clinically tone deaf can tell when notes are out of key

If i want to get my action lowered on my bass, I need to ask for a setup?
>hand is cramped from the gym
>>129671567Or just buy some Allen wrenches
how important is strictly adhering to proper finger numbering when playing chords? like it's easier sometimes to play an E chord with my middle finger on the D string and my ring finger on the B, especially when transitioning from a C chord, but I don't know if taking these kind of shortcuts will fuck me up later on as I grow my repertoire
>>129671581this is why having a teacher is important to stop you from making compromises like this
>>129671567>adjust truss rod>lower saddles>possibly shim neck as a last case scenario
How the fuck do you even go from playing guitar to piano? You're telling me I have to play the melody, rhythm & chords at the same time??
>>129671581playing open with your middle and ring is actually better because you can just slide the bar chord up. fingerings are all about minimizing weaknesses and compromises in certain playing styles. bluegrassers play the G chord with an open B string using their ring finger on the low E string because they can just move the same shape down to the C and the Fmaj7. it’s not as full of a sound as the traditional open B but it allows you to play at extremely high tempos cleanly
>>129671648ignore my typos I just post on my phone and don’t proofread anything that long I’m just trying to hurry up and get it done
>>129671629Easy. You just get used to bouncing your hand in one rhythm and playing off of it. For eighth notes, you’re either on the beat or off the beat. The advantage over guitar is that you can play any note with one hand and nearly any chord is playable (guitarcels can only do 6 max, pianochads do 10 or more and can span wider octaves)
>>129671581>go to any guitar store >wait until you hear someone playing that you think is good>ask them this question Cheat code for free lessons. This is especially good on anyone over the age of 40. Boomers love talking and if you pump their heads up the niggas will give you advice in the store or even their numbers. You really gotta sell the, "woah you're so fucking good I wanna be like you." Part
For me, it's playing power chords with my index and pinky finger
>>129671648That’s the best way to play a G, mute the A string with your middle finger too and use can use your index to hit the C on the B for a sus4 or the F on the high E and lifting your ring for a 7th.
>>129669433>no coil splitting>34" scale>2 band eq>more expensiveJackson JSQ3 mogs the shit out of the trbx and is like 80 bucks less.>>129669489that's a split coil and a single coil, humbuckers mostly look like two single coils put together or if they're covered like a bar of soap (hence the soapbar pickup name, but it's just humbuckers).
>>129671716good point I forgot about using non traditional fingerings to add embellishments
>>129671704Hey ton (wood)

>>129671733idk what you’re going on about but I would never buy a jackson or any fender subsidiary that isn’t squier because MIA fender quality is bad enough. also personally I don’t like flat radius on bass because I use a lot of joint barring and raking. it just feels much worse to do on a flat fingerboard
>>129671629you can play chordal melody on guitar
>>129670030call me edgy but for me nothing surpasses a fully black headstock with black hardware.At the same time I despise black headstocks with chrome hardware (looking at you PRS)
>>129671772I have never heard or seen this bass or this brand, I have no honest feedback about it.Aesthetically not my cup of tea, looks kind of 80s or older like a Kubicki or a Steinberger, not much of retro guy. I reckon it's passive?
>>129671704Kurt chord shapes for me.
>>129671807you can do that on bass and certainly on piano. all you need is two handed tapping
>>129671795Jackson basses have been dogshit for 99% of the time I fully agree, but they did really hit it ouf the park with the JS series they launched a couple of years ago. Currently some of the best bang for your buck in that department, and they still mog the fuck out of your Yamaha, which is just as much of an Asian shitplank and probably even made in the same factory, but at a lower price.
>>129671865I've never played one, but how bad could a bass really be? As long as they're not warped and have fresh strings, I'm pretty happy. Not nearly as picky as I am with guitars.
>>129671851yea im just saying chordal melody isn't exclusive to piano its something you should learn as a guitarist as well
>>129671884just be careful with plastic nuts especially if you use round wound strings. you can literally ruin the nut just by tuning up the bass during a string change. maybe the Jackson is good I won’t say one way or the other but I will warn you they still use plastic nuts. my thought was just get a 24 fret if you were going humbuckers and especially active humbuckers anyway and the only two real 24 fret options in that price range are Jackson and Ibanez so pick your poison
>>129671700
>>129671907meant to say Yamaha and Ibanez
>>129671907I'm not the Jackson anon, just chiming in.. but that sounds like sound advice anyhow. I'm kind of sold on graphtechs everywhere.I have been eyeing a Charvel bass. I suppose those are made by the same folks. I don't think theirs are 24 fret. I just like the pickguard-less PJ bass style.
>>129671629>You're telling me I have to play the melody, rhythm & chords at the same time??https://youtu.be/ggz1ETGfEBY
Played a jc120 today sounded like shit are they all like this?
>>129671910>socializing is dumb
>>129671956I feel like that’s now the premium version of Jackson also owned by Fender tho. the American Charvels seem pretty good, I have literally never seen the Mexican or Indonesian ones but supposedly they make them.
>>129671567post a picture of your bridge, nut and string height from the side view. Of your whole neck as well if you can.We can genuinely work on it here.Not really much more a luthier could do without surgery.
>>129671971yes
>>129671973Socializing isn't. Your "cheat code" hack is. Keep overusing that green text newfag
>>129671995>>129671567put a quarter or two under the strings on your neck for scale so we can gauge your height, as well
>>129672004You're so mad you have nobody to play with lmao
>>129671981Almost everything Charvel does is Mexican. Then Japan is 2nd tier. Then the American models...which strangely skyrocket in price (way above even Fenders, except their custom shop). I only noticed Charvel had Indo guitars recently.. They have steel frets...I think that's the only reason why they did it. Those Mexican factories still don't seem to have it set up.
It's time to post Les Pauls.
>>129671884>how bad could a bass really be?tons of stuff, just like guitars. No sustain because of shoddy work, bad nuts, fret buzz/sprout, shitty electronics that often aren't even properly grounded.On top of that some instruments just "feel" cheap and shitty which has been my personal experience with Jackson and lower tier Ibanez stuff.Worst offender is that neon green/pink Dean that's like 200 bucks, that thing felt like a toy and had less sustain than a rubber band between my fingers straight out of the box.We've come a long way since then and Jackson has redeemed themselves in my book with that latest series, also instruments outside of like 300 bucks have really stopped feeling cheap for the most part. I haven't felt a shitty instrument in years. Nowadays I call something shitty that is just bad bang for your buck, which in comparison would be that Yamaha to that Jackson, in that price rage of course.Overall Yamaha is one of the best things you could pick from their cheapest to their most expensive stuff, if one company stands for consistent good quality it's Yamaha.
>>129672073I really like charvels logo and it makes the headstock look cleaner
>>129672076
>>129672120
>>129671907>>129671956>>129671981yall should try the Warwick Just-A-Nut.That thing has been a whole gamechanger for me and I have it equipped on all my basses that could fit it (sadly most Fender/Squier don't have unless you want to carve a little).Adjusting string height at the nut is just incredible and nobody else makes it.
>>129672137
I purchased a guitar through Sweetwater that has a black gloss finish. They sent me an email showing me pictures of the guitar and I noticed when I zoom in, that it has scratches all over the place. I told them and they let me choose other 4 guitars available of the same model and they all have the same scratches. Is it normal for a new guitar?
>>129672120>>129672120>>129672120Witch BOSS drive pedal should i buy next to put on this board? Im thinking maybe a wazacraft ds1 or a ds 2 or and od 3 or something idk.
>>129672076>and another finger curls on the monkey's paw
>>129672199(I am retarded and forgot pic)
>>129672146I’ll try it. you recommend the brass one? My teacher is sponsored by Warwick and his bass has those
>>129672189I just ordered a Strat from there after scouring all of their available stock. It's great. No scratches. And a nice dark ebony fretboard.
>>129672189it’s not normal for new guitars to have swirl marks but it is normal for sweetwater to bend over backwards for good customers.
>>129672219If you got the money go for it, they will never break. I have the plastic one and had one break on me (the screw winding not the nut itself), which would probably not happen on brass. Then again, they also put the plastic ones on their $5k instruments and only use brass on their really expensive custom shop stuff so I rekon plastic is good enough.Personally I have not found any justification to spend 100 bucks more on a nut for the material. Even if they broke you could still replace it 4 times over before hitting that price point, and you really won't break those things 4 times.But keep in mind they don't fit on Fender/Squier, in case your black bass guy. Fender style basses have a hole for the nut that is waaaaay to narrow so you would have to have a luthier cut it up for you.
>>129672258I didn’t consider that. it would have been for a p bass, I wonder if someone makes a universal knockoff… time to look
>>129672272Ah fuck I forgot Warwick bought Sadowsky.Now there's also Just a nuts for Fender style basses. So forget what I said before.
>>129672272>I wonder if someone makes a universal knockoffnope, Warwick holds the patents for this stuff.All you might find is chinesium shit from alibaba that will crumble into pieces the moment your strings put tension on it.I only broke my just a nut because I put the screw in the muddle up first so it took all the tension at once instead of having it on the three screws, so it was my fault. Haven't had any issue with it since then and I have two for six string and two for five strings.
>>129672314>>129672342oh well thanks anyway, I was just doing it for the color. I'm thinking of building a gospel gold and white p bass and thought it might look cool but I suppose I can live without it. disregard that the image is stolen from google but this is the color scheme i was thinking of
Is C-E-F# a tritone?
>>129672368No.
>>129672151
>>129672314>>129672146I went to Thomann once and it fucking sucked. Perhaps I will give them another chance once they open the new store. I also refuse to buy from them online if someone else is stocking the item.
>>129672368a tritone (the tones; three whole steps) is just the distance between the notes not a note itself. the F# would be C's tritone
>>129672368also thats C major flat 5. a dimished chord/triad has a minor third
>>129672434So it's still C's tritone even though it's 6 whole steps above the root instead of 3?Also is it even proper theory wise or is it too dissonant? (C-E-F#)
>>129672429they stock everything themselves, they are THE biggest music store in the world. Sweetwater is a very very close seconds, but Thomann has warehouses that would make Jeff Bezos turn purple from jaelousy. They're no middle man, everything they sell comes from them.Their store is more like a museum since it's still a family-owned company to this day. Their strength lies in e-commerce, so if you only want to buy in person Thomann (and Sweetwater for that matter) are not for you.>>129672364I dig it, it's exactly what I plan to do with my Squier strat once I upgrade it with a Fender neck. Fully gold hardware and pickguard on white body with maple necks look dope as fuck.I would get white or cream coloured pickups to complete the whole look, though.
Should i visit the local Gutter Center this weekend?
>>1296724966 whole steps would just be the octave. 3 whole steps is the middle of the octave which is the tritone or the flat 5. I can’t physically play this on bass because I only have 21 frets so I can’t get enough distance between the intervals for it to sound good on my machine. the farther away from the root you are, the less dissonant a note becomes. so if you can get the tritone into a couple of octaves higher im sure it will sound decent
>black fender stratISHYGDADT
>>129672549A?
>>129672496I THINK idk I’ve never look it up but I think one of the Zelda songs uses the major flat 5, I think it’s in the key of D tho. https://voca.ro/1erYIwzYmFJaThat’s me playing it sorry for shit quality but that’s from memory by ear idk what the song really is.
>>129672530nice. that’s not a bad idea, pj pickup covers come right off.
Okay, so I got a Squier Classic Vibe 60s Custom Telecaster in 3-tone Sunburst, and no, not from Amazon (though it is pictured). I got it from the store in town, and had it set up with my favourite strings: D'Addario Chromes 11-50 gauge. $30+ for the pack of strings, Canadian funds, and the set up was free with purchase.Unfortunately I jumped the gun a little bit.The free set up became moot when I realized that the guitar had finish flaws that were irritating to appreciate. I returned the guitar for a replacement, and I believe I get another free set up, but I can't afford the strings yet.I've been doing surveys on my phone to earn points to cash in for Amazon gift cards.I brought it up to pitch in E Standard, and I just got all irked by the stock strings. They're 9s.So that's my story... but I am curious whether I should just buy picks and new strings, or if I should also pick up some brass saddles --- Fender or something compensated; to upgrade my guitar further?Also, the bridge plate has a string-through set up at current, but it has holes for top-load. Would a swap to top-load with flatwounds be a reasonable adventure, or a mixture of thru/top?>tfw you can do everything guitar related except actually play guitar...>tl;dr this guy can't stand the light roundwounds that came with his Squier Telecaster, and is considering getting different saddles than the 3 steel ones included.
Whats a triton?

>>129673157The theoretical stuff is a nice way to interpret things and make sense of stuff but at the end of the day nobody cares that my riff is a phrygian dominant with an occasional hungarian minor tinge thrown in they just care that it sounds cool and I'm sure as hell not calculating all that shit while I'm writing it. A lot of people get it backwards and thing the theory is the rules but there are no rules the theory is just a way to recognize patterns and describe stuff.

>>129673513Nice are you playing your guitar along with it?>>129673527Whenever I don't feel like trying I always turn on songs I play along to like guitar hero. Never need to think while playing
>>129673543No im learning a new daw (ableton) and taking little bites on figuring it out over the last couple days
>>129673627Why switch DAWs? They all seem to do the same stuff unless you need bizarelly specific niche functions so what's the advantage of learning a whole new system? Or are you just playing around for fun?
>>129673647Well the daw i learned on was FL studio and its incredibly cumbersome to record and use audio files in, its really streamlined for MIDI sequencing and beat making Ableton feels like a nice happy medium between FL studio and full on audio file-centric daws like cubase If i had the mac mini i planned on getting id be learning logic instead of, but im really not a fan of the iphone i got as a test to see if i can jive with apple software so im kinda turned off from the apple ecosystem in general now

>>129669307You should listen to John Frusciante's first solo album from 1994?. He did that album when he was the most drugged human in the history of drug abuse ever. He might have set some world records shooting that much heroin into his body but we will never know. He somehow didn't die from that but severely changed physically and what's even more interesting is that his understanding of guitar music improved so much because of that experience that he dropped 3 absolute guitar masterpiece albums in californication, by the way (my favorite) and stadium arcadium.
>>129673934Sorry that happened sis, but good news is you can write a modern day blues hit now
>>129673668i have logic on my mac but im still an ableton guy. especially since i can export my songs from my live 3 into ableton sets. saves me time>>129673647>Why switch DAWs?nta but when i first started a few years ago picking the right daw took a few tries

>>129673259Okay I lasted 48 hours then cracked. Last time I tried this I didn't even make it a full day. Soon I'll be a moderation GOD but not smoking for 2 days genuinely did help my tolerance. One hit and I'm good to play. I know if I did more id be sloppy but this is exactly what I want. I'll definitely be throwing in more sober days soon.

>>129671567i asked for a set up on an old ibanez i had, got it back with the fucking action so low the e string was buzzing something fierce and i have no idea why the fuck they gave it to me like that. i just adjusted relief on the neck and it eventually went away, and then that completely threw the intonation off. i'll fix that eventually.learn to do it yourself, the shit will save you hundreds of dollars.
