Am I going to strip this screw if my jack is too tight and needs to be pulled out pretty hard?
>>129920942thought I'd hate bocchi the rock but fuck It was actually great
>>129920951that screw doesn't interact with your jack at all. It's just in the wood.
>>129920832I've had the opposite experience so far. Haven't had much success on guitar when I practiced it but I've been doing scales every day on guitar then switching to bass. >>129920842This sounds good. I think you're going to make it. >>129920854That's also a big issue with work. If i want to learn multiple instruments but don't have time to practice 1 a day I would prefer sticking to my main instrument.
>>129920954I mean am I going to pull out the whole control plate screw and wood and all by accident
how they got away with this gigback?in anime, it's ibanez brandedhere they made a custom one just for this model
>>129920951no even if it did you can break a few toothpicks and shove them in there with a couple of drops of wood glue and be good to go for another 10 years
Can someone explain the second chord to me, the Eb aug (b9 #9)? That finger pattern doesn't even contain a Eb note (guy is using a capo on the 6th fret so the 6 on the A string is a 12)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXa1yZGaF38
>>129920970>going to make itthanks man, it really doesn’t feel that way with chords for me at times. I see a lot of guitarists say they just practice chord transitions for 10 mins a day and they’ve got it mastered in like a month. maybe they’re overstating their real abilities but it’s more like 4-6 months for me. lead has been no issue but it doesn’t feel right to have such a large disparity between the two
>>129920919Yeah I fucked that bit up, thank you
>>129920991the 6th fret of the A string is an Eb. guitarists do this weird thing where they don’t acknowledge the key change when using a capo and it drives me crazy. no wonder so many of them don’t understand theory or know their fretboard; they’re being sabotaged by their own educators
>>129920979It's not really anything new, they'd always come out with anime branded merch even if those characters used industry standard equipment

>>129921017you can’t outrun your destiny
I don't really like strats and I only ever buy japanese ones so I guess that won't happen to me
>>129921011OH MY GOD MY FUCKING BRAINFARTYou're right, thank you
>>129921031Literally me havin a dream one week after I get the guitar
>>129921054>thinkin bout that chicken after church get it
>>129921036I was looking at some Japanese ones but I wanted a vintage style neck with a fat profile and most sellers don’t give you that information and I didn’t want to ask a ton of people questions about it. US 1965 reissues are basically unanimously known for having fatter necks than the reissues of previous years so I focused on that reissue year. Basically there’s the current production AVII line or the AVI line from a decade ago, and of those I wasn’t picky but this AVI’s price is what won me
>>129921012i know but there is legit ibanez gigbag and they just made their own version of it lol
>>129921124hot take I love a high quality gig bag more than a hard case
I have a bunch of cases and bags that just sit in my closet forever
>>129921054you are getting a time machine and going back to 1966 to play with Louis Jordan?As much as I love Louie Jordan. if you are going back to 1966 I'd suggest you look into that rock and roll stuff thekids are playing.
can anyone in the thread solo over this beginner-friendly backing track? most jazz musicians will learn this in year 2 or 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKKj0v82EpM
>>129921164I could probably compose something over the course of a week but no I am not familiar with progression and likely never will be unless I decide to become a jazz musician.
>>129921164I remember Scotty West's (or was it someone else's) beginner advice to just play the notes of the chords when you're beginning improvising
>>129921216same methodology for walking basslines. I mean there’s really only so many things you can do: pedal, chord tones, scalar approach, chromatic approach, scalar and chromatic ascension/descension. they all work and form the basis, but the mastery is weaving them in a way that creates movement and “tells a story.” I have 4 books on walking basslines and they all have the exact same information :(
>>129921241with bass you can basically just fake it if you keep timejust slide the wrong notes a fret and it'll work
>>129921256that’s pretty true, there is a lot more room for bass movement that most people believe. I find that you should at least establish the true root once every two bars or the harmonic center really falls apart
I’ll never understand why people prefer fatter necks over skinny fast necks.
>>129921336a short-fingered vulgarian typed this post
>>129921336chunky necks are better for people with bigger hands manlet
>THERE IS EPIPHONE TOOho lee fuk
>>129921336if you thumb over a lot I find that a thick v neck massages my hand when I play and it feels nice. if you use traditional thumb in middle of neck I’ve found that neck carve is almost imperceptible
>>129921215>>129921216that's what I thought
>>129921366People with bigger hands are better off with wider necks and larger string spacing than thick necks, but all electric guitars have about the same neck width for some reason with barely any variation
>>129921434playing giant steps will make you really good at playing giant steps
Anything I can do as a bassist to help lead my guitarist better in jams? I'm not 100% sure what they mean by that. When we play i don't play any particular progression. I just play notes in the key in no particular order. I usually try to end the 4th beat on the 7th or 2nd since they add tension when returning home. I'll usually go root 5th 3rd root. But I can't seem to find a good way of exploring while jamming with my ear being unable to pick up on what my guitarist is doing.
>>129921564have him lay out the progression he is doing in simple chords before he starts noodling. if he can't do this, you are fucked.
>>129921587I remember asking this once and then she told me to pick one. I have no idea what scale degrees make a good progression so we decided to just play whatever.
>>129921564Split your measures right before the chord changes into two halves of two beats or whatever you play. Play your riff/melody in the first two beats and use the last two beats to steadily walk to the next root note. I’m guessing your guitarist is completely relying on you to remember the song which is wrong. But you can still lob your band softballs and play creatively. Before BBA has another fit about James Jamerson you can just study some of his lines. He literally covers everything you need to know about modern bass playing except complex time signatures
>>129921653Unless you guys are truly just improvising without a song structure then yeah that’s on you as a bassist to signal a key change. I’d recommend walking to the next chord over the entire bar
>>129920911for min-maxing complete tone? 5strattele/esquiresemi-hollow w/HBsanything with p90sacoustic
>>129921662Also if you’re just playing random stuff you have to look at playing the bass as whatever you are doing, the laws of nature are going to feel like the song is going to automatically resolve itself on beat 1 every two bars. If you don’t go back to the root at that point it changes the tonal center to the listeners ear and it feels like a key change. I’ve been playing for 4 years. I can do whatever I want every two bars but I have not found a way to go 3 without fucking up the song
>>129921443>but all electric guitars have about the same neck width for some reason with barely any variationplay a gibson and a rickenbacker back to back
>>129921692gibson sure, I doubt I can find a real rick anywhere within a thousand miles of me tho
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y4GBQwTpUYgDoes anyone know if the chorus progression that starts around the 2:00 has a name? I swear I've heard that sound a bunch before and that is something i feel I could learn and bring to my jams.>>129921662Yeah we improv without a song. It's fully just make it up on the spot and find something that works. Moving to a new key without saying it out loud is another thing I'm not sure how to do. I have a book on walking bass lines i started yesterday so hopefully it'll explain a bit more of the walking concept.
>>129921706gibson is wide at the 12th fret, rick is very narrow at the 12th fret.
Zoomers wilding out…
>>129921671or you can just buy a guitar with SH config and a acoustic, happy days
>>129921722there’s going to be a difficulty curve if you don’t verbalize the key change. the easiest way to do it is play eight notes and walk up in an incredibly linear way. say you are working on going from 1 to 4: R R, 2 2, b3 b3, 3 3, then you arrive at 4 on your downbeat. that’s the easiest you can make it without verbalizing it. In the meantime I would work on condensing what you are playing into one and two-bar phrases that repeat themselves periodically. Walking over a single chord will seem very repetitive and riff-based, there’s no getting around it. Walking is great for getting used to the sound of bass movement and getting used to the fretboard and chord changes, but there are still so many notes you can play that it doesn’t mean your band will be able to follow you along to an improvised progression. Bass is great and fun but it dictates the entire harmony for the rest of the ensemble so keep in mind that you need to provide some form of stability and familiarity for your band mates.
tl;dr

Any anons got any advice to introducing kids to the guitar?My nephew is turning six in one month and he says he wants a guitar like me. Whenever he comes around my house he always wants to play my guitar and I try to teach him but his hands are still too small and puny. He also doesn't have parents who are in any way musical, they don't even listen to guitar music but he seems keen but of course children are scatterbrained and have a million distractions these days beyond sitting down and practicing an instrument.I was thinking about getting him a lyre harp and teaching him really simple songs that are applicaple for a child like nursery rymes and shit but i'm wondering if anons have a better clue than me
>>129921888Get a baby Taylor or similar. teach him something new every month
>>129921739whenever people talk about music in this thread there's always this insecure will-never-make-it poo pooing the fun. kill yourself so we can have fun
>>129921888give him the biggest les paul in the world, he'll grow into it
>>129921888If he wants a guitar, get him a guitar. I feel like anything else would be disappointing. Maybe a fender nylon (Fa-25n) or some other 3/4 acoustic. Both affordable and smaller than normal so it'll be easier for him.Loog if you want something specifically meant for kids, but theyre a bit pricey for what they are. It may encourage him to learn more though. 3 strings are less daunting than 6.
>>129921938this is true that kids are more capable than people think but a baby Taylor at least functions and sounds very close to a full size guitar
>>129921952True, but buying a $500 guitar for a 6 year old is a bit silly. But hey if he takes care of his stuff, I guess it's worth it, he'll have something of quality. I just know me at 6 would have accidentally destroyed it somehow.
>>129921981I’d recommend the 3 year replacement plan at guitar center in that case, unironically. but hey at least it’s not student model violin that’s like $4000
>>129921981>>129921952Absolutely no fucking way am I buying a six year old a baby fucking taylorHe needs to prove to me first he is motivated before I spend anything more than £50 on him. Hence why i'm looking at a lyre harp instead, because he can learn songs quicker and enjoy playing music. I have no idea if a six year old in this day and age had the patience to go through the early pain of learning chords and shitThis is why i'm wondering if any anons have done the same because i'm wondering how to approach a childs sensibility I also have my own first guitars that I got when I was a kid. a 3/4 acoustic and a half size electric which I plan to give him when the time is right
>>129921888full size guitarmeme scale is just doing them a disservice
>>129922108you make a fair point but if that’s all you care about him I probably wouldn’t stress the fine details.
>>129921888Get him a cheap little amp and a hardtail Squier Mustang
why not a ukulele

I want to take shrooms and play with a band
>>129922338go take some shroom, hallucinate bandmates for free
my 6 year old nephew is showing interest in shrooms, but I’m worried he’s not that committed. I was thinking the first $20 baggie I could find. thoughts?
>>129922373Buy him 600 dollars worth of shrooms and trip sit him every month

Amazon really knows me, I can't play without diecast tuners and an adjustable truss rod.
>>129922799Any recommendations for a decent mid-tier acoustic? This model seemed to have good reviews. Of course I'll try em in store first, but any good ones around or below $500 I should check out?
>>129922845yamahaalways yamaha until you can afford to get into taylor/martin territory but even then the higher end yamahas are better than entry level martins/taylors
>>129922845Yamaha or Eastman. bear in mind Yamahas specs are Yamaha, their dreadnought are damn near all the same size shape and string spacing. If you want something with Martin specs on a budget you’ll need to Eastman but if you don’t care I’d get a Yamaha and call it a day.
>>129922877Eastman also makes short scale slope shoulders (J45). If this is your first acoustic you probably don’t care that much but just throwing it out there.
Gibson vs Martin? There is a Gibson Songwriter and a Martin D18 local for the same price and I want one. I hear good things about both and both sound good on video.
>>129922912If they're local just play em both?
>>129922912songwriter has the same scale length as the martin so they sound a lot closer. I think the martin is a little warmer sounding but I think the songwriter looks really cool. if it’s a cutaway songwriter I’d get the martin. if you do get the martin put monel strings on it.
>>129922935I’m not going to meet up with two random people from Facebook just to try their guitars and tell them maybe I’ll get back to them. >>129922949Why not the cutaway?
>>129922972it’s not traditional and you won’t be playing up there anyway
>start every day with major/minor pentatonic and regular guitar scales >only play bass the rest of day>try to get walking down>get to 100 songs learned on bass If i don't start playing my G&L it'll collect dust. Next month I'm not going to touch my bass though. It's all guitar. I'm stealing anons idea but in May I'll focus on guitar. I'm very close to a breakthrough on bass so I feel focusing on bass till it happens this month will be good. At about 66 songs learned
>>129922972get the cutaway to make the one faggot here who seethes about them have a melty and shit his pants(he sucks at guitar anyways and doesn't post vocas)

since i started playing guitar, my elders recommended i always wipe the strings with a cloth after playingi understand the logic is you get some of that acidic finger grease your body produces off them, but is it even a difference? sounds like penny pinching for strings idk
>>129923355you should see the underside of a nasty pair of strings
>>129923355i dont even wipe my butt and youre expecting me to wipe my strings?
>>129923355it's partly due to corrosionpartly due to finger gunge accumulation muting the string as >>129923366 said. gunge can be wiped off, but the rate of corrosion depends on genetics and diet just as much as how often you clean the strings. I use coated strings and they last way longer because my sweat rots some metals
>not owning a single and double cut
>>129923435double cut acoustics are fairly rare
>>129923430if i play a lot im gonna need a monthly change of strings or so anyway, i dont think that will change much regardless, but it may helpi could wipe from underneath the strings too, just pass the rag across under the strings
>Dude I just can't get barre chord...they're just so hard bro and I've been playing for yearsYou're ass, barre chords are a beginner skill.

>>129923427Don't your strings get itchy?
>not owning a triple cut I knew yall were poor but this is the last straw
>>129923517It's more just getting a feel for how the strings react to your sweat, and the brand's corrosion resistance. Might not be a big deal long term either way. coated strings last me 2-3 months tho. >>129923582go lift weights so you build up calluses and finger pad fat.

>>129924470it’s probably better for slap because turning both pickups all the way up scoops the mids, but imo very very few songs sound better with slap.
>>129924470You can make a J sound close to a P but not the other way around
>>129924344>pick up bass>play along to 3 or 4 songs I know for warm up ~25 mins>maybe do scales ~10 minutes >try to focus on book work then get bored ~15 mins>try to learn some new songs ~ 1 hour >randomly jam along to drum track ~15 minutesI will probably extend the learn new songs to hour and a half. I would say majority of my practice time is spent on learning new songs vs fundamentals or shit that really helps but I LOVE fucking playing along to songs I've been listening to for years. The jamming with the drums track is probably the most helpful
>>129924490>>129924491>>129924503I will look into it. I might just get another P bass and drop tune that but I think of i drop tune a J bass that could be cool

>>129924523I remember someone saying 11 pounds was a "good weight" for a stingray. Wtf is going on?
>>129924554idk but apparently they are having a rough go with their qc
>>129924411>deep learningyou mind elaborating, please?
>>129924658break the song down into segments, typically phrases. learn the intervals, what chord they’re being played over, why it works, why they played it etc, learn the rhythm so I can mess with the rhythm or play other intervals with the same rhythm to see how it sounds. I take everything good and turn it into licks, to put it into layman’s terms, but in a way where I can transpose them into different keys and rhythmic sequences. it’s nothing crazy but goes beyond just learning and rehearsing the song
>>129924722I would say this process is not necessary for most players but I am specifically trying to emulate another musician in some context.
>>129924722This is for people with learning disabilities.
>>129924792maybe. I’m really just kind of boring with playing desu. been at it for 4 years and learned most of what I wanted to already. I’ve been feeling uninspired for a few months now

I literally never actually practice guitar. I've been playing since 8 and all i've ever done is noodle. I had a couple guitar lessons as a kid, was taught the chords and how to read tab and then I was like thats enough, I know all I need to know and stopped going and ever since i've just noodled.I never even realised it until recently too, i've been playing for 20 years, very passionately and I could be a real solid professional but I just never gave a shit. My skill level could probaly be achieved in like a year or two by someone dedicated to learning. I learn a new thing every few years and then just play with whatever sounds good to me.Anyone else like this?I'm not that good, but I still play like every day, just making up my own little melodies

>>129925760why would I consider your opinion at all when your name is shitposting retard and your vocas sound like they were recorded from a clock radio through the telephone?
>>129925760Holy fuck you're bad at guitar and dialing in tones.
>>129925794Attack the message not the messenger.>>129925802I disagree. Very rude post, very rude person.
Im not a good singer but I have been practicing singing along to the songs I know on bass. It's fun
>>129925760I was just born with it. Being able to play by ear and figure out tunes easily has hindered my technical skills though because I never had to try or practice to sound good, it made me lazy

i haven't received any message that my guitar has been repaired. they said it'd be completed in 3-4 days but i brought the guitar to them almost a week ago
>>1299260703-4 business days bro
I just can't get into acoustic guitars, every time I bought one thinking it'd be nice to have something to record with it just ends up gathering dust and never played
>>129926181sounds like a personal problem
>>129921888Get a nice folk guitar with nylon strings. This will make sure they don’t hurt their young hands, but they can still approximate real stuff.The real lesson is that he looks up to you and emulates you, so keep up the drip feeding lessons. As he progresses, you can be like, “okay, now you can learn x because your hands and arms can reach it.”The First Act guitars may sound like a shit proposition but they are short scale, cheap, and I know the basses have flat wounds. What you should REALLY teach him is how to put the guitar on the stand or in a case. Kids love rituals and you can see if the guitar has snot or scratches on it. Dont make a big deal about it, but tell him/her/xir that respecting your instrument is one crucial aspect of learning the craft. I taught my neighborhood kids how to play instruments and they picked it up quick. They learned on guitar and piano, and my neighbor kid would bring his trombone to play rudimentary parts at like 9am on a Saturday morning. Don’t let him down.

>>129926181Stop buying shitty guitars then. Get one good one that can do both and sound great doing both.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGgxIdY9z4Q&list=RDaGgxIdY9z4Q&start_radio=1PS, I wish I could play fingerstyle like this motherfucker...
>>129926385>get this guitar with the base price $1.5k already
>>129926385Lloyd Spiegel is his name I just found out...I like. Plays meaty blues.
>>129926400Save your bottle money. Go cut some lawns. What's the problem? It's one guitar you'll have for life that replaces the rest of your shit guitars.
>>129926400Just to preface: I don’t have any opinion on if you should buy that, and I’m not that anon, BUT 1.5k really isn’t a lot of money these daysGuitar is not a cheap hobby
>>129926385How do youtube playlists work? This playlist in the link has some videos the same as mine, that it's scary. Like cover artists and such with lower viewslist=RDaGgxIdY9z4Q&start_radio=1Are they tailored to the individual even when the list name is unique with what looks to be 16 characters?

>>129926513I'm not too sure about the Google wizardry going on. Their job is to stalk all of us. I guess that's why I use ad blockers on my desktop/lappy and browsers with built in blockers on my phone. Google is evil but so is everyone else...Somehow they're sniffing your cookies like pervs.
This is another cool guitar but it's not really the guitar itself, it's they Hyvibe computer preamp that is the cool part. You can actually order the HyVibe separately and get it installed into your own acoustic of your choice. It's just a surgery I wouldn't DIY for fear of completely fucking your guitar...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFTZBErh60AIt's a pretty cool demo, watch the whole thing.

Good evening /gg/Is there a buyer's guide for electric guitars? I am am looking for the most maximum budget guitar that doesn't compromise on being more guitar than toy - additionally I won't be able to use a traditional outlet powered amp as I will soon be on an indefinite road trip (homeless but with a car), and have my eye on a AA or USB rechargeable battery powered headphone guitar amp, like the Valeton Rushead Max - also open to suggestions there. I don't know much of anything about musical instruments but I do like metal music, and have a lot of time on my hands now to learn.
jesus fucking christ how many of you live in a car
>>129926609Now combine this with AI so you can just tell it to give you the tone of SRV or ZZ Top or whomever you like and it can instantly emulate their tone on the fly. But all the wizardry in the world won't help you with effects/tone/loops etc if you can't already play (pick or fingerpick). I think AI will somehow get baked into these gadgets eventually somehow. I'd bet on it.
>>129926742>didn’t listen it’s gonna take you a couple of hours with a metronome, so just wait until you do that until you foist this on usListen to great guitarists versus living in a cynical space >you’re hurting>we’re hurting>even a slime feels painBut yeah, metronome. I can hear the amateur cynicism in your playing >what will they think of thisI dunno, listen to Fripp. Don’t play, listen:https://youtu.be/lPutToA0ZHsI know you want the last word or pretend that you don’t >relent
>>129926724>cycling thru licks>bluesthanks for the input chiefhttps://voca.ro/1d21iUex4VnV
>>129926746Just get a pignose amp. It can be battery powered or plugged into an inverter in your car for traditional power. I'm assuming your outlet is North American? I actually have no idea if they make Pignose portable amps with Euro plugs. I suppose I could look that up...but so can you. They're cool little amps. I have one. You can daisy chain the pignose to a bigger amp too for crazy distortion and sounds you just can't get otherwise.
>>129926777i just kinda want to play guitar and post vocas you seem to add the context yourselfhttps://voca.ro/1e32hVPKZQrJ

>>129926828Yep I'm heading north like many before me for a slightly cooler summer and to live that Nashville dreamAppreciate the recc, if I can budget right I might get both because I don't wanna wear headphones all the time but I also might wanna stealth play at night in a parking lot
>>129926828I had no idea they made pignose travel guitars too. Crazy!I just like the amps. They're tiny but mighty and portable.I have the 7-100 model. Not very expensive but not China cheap.https://pignoseamps.com/products/
>>129926768it makes sense when these people blow their cash on shit the price of one
>>129926786slime knows what he's talking aboutbe humble
>>129926875>living in your car in nashville
>>129926838Nah you got a shit attitude, which seems to stem from a lack of self esteem (hence the half-baked vocas). Rather than have a tantrum (what, did you want feedback?), I offer THE WOODSHED>go post free for a month>see if your mental health improves We’re all rooting for you unironically
>>129926875Cool man. I wish you the best in your journey.I posted earlier on that Cole Clark true hybrid. It is probably a bit out of budget to start with but maybe something to look towards in the future. Scroll up and find my post on it and watch the demo video. It's like a 2 in 1 guitar both acoustic and electric. I mean it's one instrument that plays like an acoustic and is also electric so it's a 2 in 1 bang for the buck. I dunno. It gives you serious versatility and it takes up little room compared to two separate instruments. Just an idea. Otherwise any Strat electric is a good bet. A Squire is the cheapest. Lots of guys on here can tell you more about them than I can. Coupled with some kind of effects processor that can be battery powered. Mine can, I just can't remember what it's called off the top of my head. Go on Aliexpress and see what kind of effects processors they have. The Pignose and a battery operated effects processor will give you crazy versatility combined with any guitar you choose and can afford. That's how I'd personally go. You have to think busker (street corner performer) like...but with minimal gear/space.
i am guitar o'toole
>>129926984Oh and I can plug a headphone jack into my effects processor via a 2 in 1 headphone splitter and a guitar jack adapter. It's pretty nifty. This means I can be fully electric with an infinite amount of effects all via headphone jack or unplug that and into any amp I want. So there are really 3 things to look at. 1) The guitar, 2) The amp 3) The effects processor. And any cables you would need to connect it all together.
>>129925221Always lurking
>>129926746You can plug into your stereo system like an amp. Look for TRS to USB or 1/8” aux headphone connection and voila, your car is an amp (yes it will feedback)>no it won’t sound good
