>>129989087We dont, he's fun
how much do you wear down your picks before throwing them away?is needing fresh picks constantly the sign of a good player who is used to that level of consistency or is the player that can use anything they have handy and still sound good superior?
turtles kinda cool but who up crabbin' dey core
Gibson ES chuds, how does it feel to be playing generic guitars?
>>129989289Dumb ruling everybody knows those are gibsons. But I dont like semihollows so whatever
Ever use wireless receivers like the Spark Link? Is the latency really noticeable?
Is it a good idea to find the easiest position or way to play a lick or go for the most difficult in terms of developing good technique?

what do we think of the vintera III's? to me the colors seem off slightly and the neck finish is too tinted.
>>129989747you’re probably right because fender really shit the bed over the last couple of years.idk what’s going on but it’s bad
>>129989747get something, anything made before the year 2000 if you want fender.
Ever own a lawsuit era guitar, that isn't from Fujigen or anything, but is just kind of average from that era? Are they usually quality?
>>129989971Anything that's still playable in current year? Yeah probably

>>129988735if you move the f chord shape up to the third fret it's a g so probably just easier to bar the g and f and play open c
>>129990207that’s tru but the best solution is probably to play the bluegrass G and just move the position down a string for the normal C and then down one more string for the Fmaj7

Why do chords with the treble strings sound so bad with overdrive
>>129990867prob cause those strings are always slightly sharp in the first position. try tuning the B and e strings down a few cents
save up and get a vintera, or just buy cv squier?

people say 4chan is bitter but I challenge you to look at a review for anything that isn’t self-aggrandizing on reddit. things that I know work or have had fantastic first hand experiences with are downvoted into oblivion while poor advice is typically the most awarded reply. it really is a deplorable community
Welcome back! on this season of Trade Tuesdays we're going to trade some white dog shit for not one but two custom shop Les Pauls.
anyone has tried these cheap Ray5hh basses? what did you think of it? thinking about getting it as my first bass
Idk if anyone here saw my posts trying to troubleshoot why I was getting a high pitched noise when i ran an HM-2W through an NS-2 and into my katana. I noticed other people were having this issue with the pedal combo. I actually managed to get it working. I stopped using the x cable method and just put the HM-2W after the pedal and it stopped the high pitched noise even when the noise gate was off. I was then able to remove the seperate feedback using the NS-2. It left a bit of a noise floor though. Somebody mentioned why I wasn't just using the pedals like the noise supressor in boss tone studio. So I actually gave it a try. While the noise gate in boss tone studio wouldnt get rid of feedback, it did take massively raise the noise floor. So now I use both the NS-2 to get rid of feedback and the boss tone studio noise gate to raise the noise floor. Sounds perfect now. Now back to actually playing my guitar. Here is a picture of my humble setup.
>>129991425they’re not horrible for the price range but all the ones I played had something missing from the preamp. idk what it was but it just didn’t have that punchy, aggressive stingray tone. would be nice to be able to upgrade to the 35, but they’re overpriced more so than the 3 to 34 series upgrade.
>>129989087because king of clubs is a SHITSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTT>>129991112i want to just be nick johnston. songwriting and guitar technique wise.
>>129991445I’m glad you figured it out but as someone who doesn’t use pedals I didn’t understand a word of what you just said

steel string acoustic is more fun to play than electric guitart. played electric for 15+ years and bought a 'coustic this year
>>129992072I prefer electric but I really appreciate how immediate acoustic is, no friction, just pick it up and you are ready to go

>mfw ordered all the parts to build a baritone tele
>>129992247Singles or HBs?
I know sneedwater is a huge meme here but is it actually okay to buy a guitar from there?
>>129992447It's just a meme that your rep will call you wanting to hang out later. Otherwise, they're pretty comparable to everyone else.
>>129992444I've got a set of fender vintage noiseless pickups lying around that I'll try first and see and then go from there
>>129992072What acoustic did you get?
>>129991962Guitar is supposed to be funNot a way to sit in your room
>>129992447>>129992466I think they're the best, as far as online ordering goes. That gallery is sweet, since they give pics for everything from the custom shop stuff to the worst shitplank. You'll always get a pretty good idea of what's coming compared to anyone else.
Lmao yea right
>>129992584don't you do it...
>>129992584Oops I didn't listen
>>129992447I’ve spent $20k there over the last 4 years and never had a problem except a zoom external mic that shit the bed after a month. rep asked if I wanted to send it back outside the return window for a replacement but it was only $60 and I didn’t want to be bothered. they’re pretty great
>>129992584Fuck thatCrank the humidifier and place it right in front of the guitar
>>129992584that can actually cause nitro to crack but in my experience it’s usually cracked from being cold already, returning back to normal temp doesn’t do anything but nitro is really weird in that it will heal itself like the first 3-4 times it gets cold cracks
>>129992584>he didn't get his complimentary handjob
I bought a pedal from Sweetwater late February and I just got a call from them asking how I like it and if I want to buy something else too
>>129992687That's the difference between a salesman and a sales engineer.
>>129992700
>>129992584My Strat had a similar label warning because of the nitro but you bet your butt I opened that puppy immediately
>>129992068>black blues anon>no rickenbacherrickenbacher confirmed white mans guitar
>>129992068i wouldn't own a gibson because i prefer my gutiars neck doesn't explode at a glance
>>129992837literally just be careful with yoour guitar and not retarded.
This is my guitar
>>129992848I think they're cool. I'd probably get the P90 one, but kinda have too many guitars already (for me).
>>129991814Nice. I will never sell my Taiwan Ce 2.
from the total amount of time you have a guitar in your hands, what percentage goes to actual practice/rehearsal/playing-along and how much just noodling?
>>129992068>paid for by government gibsYou wouldn't own any gibsons without white taxpayers lmao
>>129992876bout tree fiddy
>>129992876I don’t noodle. It may seem like noodling but I am making calculated decisions on what I am playing, focusing on rhythms/progressions/melodies. after playing bass for 3 years my technique and timing had gotten refined to a point where my entire practice was studying/learning songs and composition
>>129992894don't hate the player, hate the game.>t. not BlackBluesanon just sayin
>>129992876All I've ever done is noodle
>>129990696 5 shut-in losers who have occupied this shit /gg/eneral for the last decade+ (!!!) are still desperately talkin/gg/ to themselveskek it's this and cringe af to witness
>>129992932there’s a nuance. if you just noodle you’re going to keep repeating the same 5 licks you already know. I understand it sounds pretentious but it’s an important point to consider
>>129992944hey i'm a 6th shut in loser who only comes in every few weeks. take that shit back.
>>129992894He ran out before he could afford a decent amp.
>>129991990Craig here, I use one. for some reason one of the loops on mine is broken so i can only loop 5 things. It's cool though
>>129992901>>129992932>>129992952>calculated decisions>focusing on rhythms/progressions/melodiesNOOOOOOO you dont get it! my noodling is CALCULATED noodling
>>129992971creative restriction and noodling are two different things. it’ll make since when you’re intermediate
>>129992944I'm leaning towards this hypothesis as well, I highly doubt there are more than a couple of schizos who'd sit and wait like a trained dog just to post the sort of inane bullshit you see above this post. Though an NPC or a bot might, I suppose.
trolling only works if I have doubts about whether I’m right, and that’s not the case here.
>>129992483a random squier one. got it from a local guitar shop tho and the local guy is a fucking pro and also builds his own guitars so its set up properly and plays better than my tokai LP kek
>calculating decisions>it may seem like noodlingOof
yes i'm replying to myself. been doing it the whole thread, how you like them apples?
>>129993038hey every bump helps
>>129992068i own an Epiphone Sheraton II and it looks way more expensive>>129992848you should top wrap that
>>129993070
>>129990445Just let it die already what's the point anymore
>>129992848Looks really good
>>129992876i have probably 1000-2000 hrs on guitar and by my estimate 70% is playing along music while i'm recording it or while im recording parts for random stuff, 29% is just noodling and maybe 1% is conscious practice.i really should practice more because sometimes i have an idea and i cant replicate it because i suck but i'm just too shit. i'm over 30 and never bothered to learn shreddan.

I'm thinking of buying a 5 string set, and using the BEAD strings to use tuned to EADG on my 30" scale bass. From what I can tell this will make the tension similar to medium-heavy gauge strings on a 34" scale bass. Will this not work? Am I missing something?
>>129993108>>129993113Sorry, both posts are mine, I thought one was cancelled
>>129993114you could also use flatwounds, they have higher tension
Learning Bass & Guitar at the same time, y/n? I already play guitar a little bit and tend to go try-hard on it (shredding) but I really don't like it for chill stuff, bass seems more interesting for that
I can't even imagine playing fast. I watch these guys like Yngwie and Gilbert and the like and it's like magic. The speed and control over the pick they have is unimaginable. I want to reach that level more than anything.
Put on your guitar game face. Don't let these Debbie Downers try to ggaslight us.

>>129992961I see a bunch of videos about like hidden features of it or tips and tricks. Waiting until I have it to watch them but is there any features on it you find yourself using often?
I hate guitarIt makes me depressed to play
>>129991425Get a standard single pick up one, you're never going to use the neck pick up and it gets in the way of your playing a lot, plus stingrays are heavy as fuck and the neck is really chunky so make sure to try one in a store to see if you can handle it instead of online ordering
>>129993153imo every guitar player should try out bass and vice versa, I picked up bass a bit over a year ago and now I play it more than guitar
where are the posts?
I want a spanish guitar should I get a beginner Cordoba model like the C1 or get a nicer second hand guitar.I don't want to spend a ton of money on it because It won't be my main guitar, just something to have.

>>129994463It's funny, back in the early 2003 to 2007 (or maybe as late as 2008?) era you'd see cheese pizza randomly posted on all boards all the time. No Anons remain from the oldfag days so no one remembers but that's part of the reason why 4chan used to have such a bad reputation amongst the casual normie shitstains demographic. They'd open 4chins, see cheese pizza, and immediately nope the fuck out. Then they'd run around the internet telling all the other NPCs what an evil and vile website 4chan was. All the negativity directed at 4chan was actually a good thing back in the day because it was a preemptive chemotherapy against the kind of malignant cancer that has been steadily killing this site since the 2016 election. The cheese pizza issue was only addressed after the general population started getting online using smartphones, Moot was lusting after increased page views and it was becoming counterproductive. But before that almost no fucks were given by this site's administration.The truth is 4chan was always, at least in part, a pedo hub. So it should come as no real surprise actual glowie pedo's were in control of the site throughout its entire history. As a matter of fact tanime pedo's still run /a/ to this very day. Oh, now it turns out jew pedo's have always run /pol/ too? Big surprise, if you've got shit for brains. Moot was most certainly a pedo and also a jew. Pedo jews have been in control of most of the mainstream internet since its inception, ask yourself why 4chan would be any different.This is the reason a real Anon would never buy a pass no matter what the hell happens, fuck all these pedo jews and their NSA housed surveillance systems.

Then coming back later for another jam session then tomorrow morning we are linking up again to play and in the afternoon this girl I'm bringing over for a date is going to watch us play. I'm having so much fun with music. The MM is pretty good. We picked up a mark bass amp for me to use in the basement. Will post a pic of the setup later

Good morning saars I hope this photo finds you well. On paternity leave for the rest of the week. Hopefully my son learns to appreciate these one day.

Picked up this Hofner 500/1 from the local Boomer guitar store a year ago. I think it's a 500/1B, but I'm not sure. Has a bass boost circuit and a regular pickup toggle rather than the standard Hofner Dip switches
>sonso that's why you've made zero progress in the decade you've been posting here
>>129998465That's definitely a possibility but I'm hoping for the first option or to at least be indifferent.
>>129998486hofner also put out guitars that had built in fuzz too
>>129998491>finding a wife and procreating is bad! surrogate activities only goy!whites are so doomed bros.
reminder that having anything in your life that you love other than guitar is a millstone that will hold you back from being great. happy, content people don't make good music.

is putting a hairband around your headstock a meme or does it actually serve a purpose?
>>129998632just grab one of your hairbands and try it
>>129998443>when you say “schizo”I hear “effort poster”. You get no loosh today!>slime’s contributionI recommend using a PAINT BRUSH in place of a pick on acoustic. You can get some articulation of notes by applying pressure or wispy notes when gliding over them. Because the notes don’t immediately die from muting, you get some sexy swells. Also, the bristles will hit your pick guard for a nice effect. It sounds like brushes on the drums.Listen:https://voca.ro/1oucaI5jUZ6OTry it out. I used to use a motorized fan from a dollar store and swapped the blades for a few loose e strings cut to about two inches. This gives a nice swell effect like a dulcimer.>I can dig for old recordings >greetings from New Hampshire>there are sexy young professionals and the slow girl at Market Basket made my day in Merrimack
>>129998632It kills the sustain of notes behind the nut, which is useful if you’re recording an acoustic.I never liked it because you’d have to slide it on and off like a condom before a tapping passage, but damned if it doesn’t sound cleaner.

Are most of the online guitar courses just some kind of grift?
>>129999327idk
>>129999327Truefire is very extensive with a lot of well known teachers.
>>129999308anyone who has actually posted a voc in this general has had nothing but good things to say. anyone who has a criticism is an anonymous shitposter with no vocs. makes you think
>>129999327If you need to buy a course you're ngmi
>>129999327yes. it's not possible to genuinely teach people through online courses. you need to at least be on a video call and have a back and forth. one size fits all approaches to learning have never worked and are either a compromise due to scale and funding (public schooling) or a grift (online courses)
>>129999327By design, what these courses offer is a linear approach. However, learning a guitar is very often NOT a linear process. We prefer to noodle to explore ideas. Or, I think I’m better than I am and boom I actually hit a cool idea or a new concept by serendipity.This extends to learning to read music, CAGED, jazz theory, sweeping/economy picking - humans tend to SKIP AROUND. I’d argue that a buffet-style approach is a better way of consuming a course’s content and testing yourself on whatever they offer.I’ve posted the ABRSM grading system for guitar before and that can inform you of where you should be at in terms of instrumental difficulty. This goes for method books, too.Only the lamest do page 1, page 2, page 3, etc. Instead, your main priority should be to keep it fun and exciting. Even at three decades of playing, I still look at courses the same way. Sometimes it’s like:>hey give me what I need I already know this shit>you motherfucker that’s gold, give me more of thatI prefer the reverse engineering approach of trusting my ear and then going, I have to figure that out. As for courses, they’re grifting in the same way as any other niche: it’s part of their platform. Beato even has a theory book, but his early stuff was how-to. Now he gets to nod at Flea, pretend Les Claypool’s bass is balanced, or that anyone gives a shit about Greg Koch’s “career”. Who knows what his next grift will be, maybe a politician or lobbyist. Then he can tour the YouTube nostalgia circuit before his Hapa son shoots up a frat in Santa Barbara
>>129999327I took actual lessons in person for three or four years and learned a ton, and the most I learned online was from Truefire. $100 a year all access or you can buy individual courses. For the amount of content from tons of great players the annual subscription is great.
>>129999776that grading system you posted is not very useful. you purport to be a way for any guitarist to assess their skill level, but it's not generalist enough for that. it's just a sight reading test
>>129999327I just started a classical course and it is the most well put together material I have ever used including books. I’ve spent over $3500 on educational material for guitar and bass over half a decade. The workload follows a very logical progression and there is no thinking about what to practice, just going through the videos covers your practice routine for the day; you can double up or do whatever else you want after. I also learned a song my first day which doesn’t happen in a lot of course.
Andy Timmons is really good.
Looking for a 335 style guitar but better... more inlays, more binding, gold hardware, bigger headstock
>>129998494Based dad. My kids love playing music with me. I bought a little korg synth for my oldest to whack at while I play guitar.
>>129999776I don't really care too much about Greg Koch's career but he is a really good and knowledgeable guitarist even if he is a bit of a quirk chungus.
How the FUCK do you do downwad pickslanting
>>130000009>I’ve spent over $3500 on educational materialyou could have bought a vintage Fender Bronco
>>130000579This was me for a long time then I just decided that I don't care and I will just play the way that works for me.
>>130000631im thinkin Arby’s bronco berry sauce
>>129999832You are correct and I posted the wrong page (the sightreading versus pic below).>FUCKKKKKKKKKKI am so sorryHere’s the whole thing:https://www.abrsm.org/sites/default/files/2025-05/Guitar%20Practical%20Grade%20Syllabus_0.pdfYou can find the pieces for free here:https://imslp.org/wiki/Special:DiffPage/DiffMain/10>make your own curriculumI agree it’s not for popular styles, but you will gain mastery and there are a shit-ton of methods books for each of the “required” pieces by level. This can help you assess what skill level you’re at or just pick and choose.
>>130000735Why would anyone want to learn these gay songs when they could be learning AC/DC or Eagles songs instead
>>130000824So true, King
>>130000735hard to tell without actually looking at the pieces, but i presume they are organized in a way that a piece from A, B, and C respectively covers all the bases for that grade, which is definitely more comprehensive than just testing your sight reading ability. are you aware of anything like this but oriented towards jazz and improvisation?
>>130000735What a snoozefest
>>130000735>For the purposes of this syllabus, it is loosely defined as the ability to ‘think in sound’. T his occurs when a musician is able to produce music which they perceive internally and in the imagination, whether through playing by ear, singing, reading from notation, or through improvisation.tfw i can do this already. do y'all not hear what you want to play in your head before you play it?
>>130000891I can play what I hear in your head
love me evertunesimple as
>>130000824Gay seems to be the theme today>>130000836See what I mean?>get a room>>130000857THIS. To answer your question, I know Anna’s Archive has a bunch of jazz method books for guitar by grade, but after a certain point I think it becomes a purely listening-based education (with the ability to sightreading Real Book tunes and transpose/reharmonize on the fly)>>130000873You ain’t wrong but if you want a no-bullshit methodology used by young instrumentalists to get through academia rather than what a grifter has to offer…But yeah, I just transcribed and bopped around pieces that I liked. Even if I couldn’t get something all the way through, I could get a piece of it and then come back to it when I learned more/gained skill. I mean, I learned “Choro no. 1” and hot through the piece a few times in a week, which influenced me to this day. You don’t necessarily need to master everything if you just want a framework. >>130000891I do think the skill of hearing what you play in your head is like “picture an apple in your head” exercises. And because I can read music, I can see the contour of notes sort of blurry in my minds eye (and it’s a struggle to focus on it longer than a few seconds). Unlike aphantasia, I think this skill can be honed.Or not>everyone lick my balls, alright. slime is tapering off smokes and I’m in no mood
Sheet music? No thanks. If I'm not good enough to figure it out by ear I'll just learn like thishttps://youtu.be/9KdtHQ0B2yEit's not 1800
>>130001214Can’t believe Chet ripped off James and Lars like that
>>130001108>tapering off smokesGood luck man genuinely
>>130001303the best way to quit a habit is to replace it with a different one
>>130001108>picture an apple in your headi have terrible mental visualization but i can hear music clear as day in my head. i can remember a song i head 10 years ago and sing all the different parts. used to be really into ska and stimmed by singing the horn parts i think thats where i picked it up. can't remember lyrics worth a damn though. this makes me a threat at karaoke, it tells me the lyrics and i can nail the notes by memory
>>130001377>>130001377>>130001377
Wait you’re telling me there are people who CAN’T picture objects in their head?
>>130001303Thanks bro. Not my first rodeo but a main source of stress is gone, so off go the crutches>checks name of posterI won’t let you downnnnn>>130001360Apparently it’s called anauralia - the inability to hear one’s mind’s “ear”. I recall Steve Vai transcribed a solo he heard from memory. I can’t do it to that level, but my mind can hear chunks of a solo (I’m thinking of Al DiMeola’s solo in “Race with the Devil on a Spanish Highway” right now). But I can sing along with most things I play at moderate tempos. Once it gets faster than that, it’s all:>diggiddiggidda weeeeeeeeerrrre diggiddiggga waaaaaaaa boop boop bleeeeeeepHarmonizing is a pretty cool variation of “singing what you play”. Diatonic thirds and sixths are easy, but chromatic passages and non-diatonic leaps are a bit more challenging. Nevertheless, you can get pretty much in the ballpark and go full George Benson mode.>compositional techniquewe can extrapolate this if you want to try some new ideas but don’t have time to figure it all out:Use VOICE TO MIDI on your DAW. Singing some crazy solo and then making a computer be your persona transcriber can help you nail a solo you otherwise wouldn’t have. Or, you can swap in other sounds (like horns and woodwinds), and voila, you can speed-compose a sonata.Bitches love it when you sing, even poorly. I failed to sing for this blonde bitch in Olympia and she refused to screw in the woods. She also told me her boyfriend would smash anyone who touched her with a hammer while she sat in my lap, so yeah sing at your own risk.
