>tfw finally got my first ding on my guitar after playing it with a strap and accidentally hitting it against the corner of my desk
>>
I learned a Franz Ferdinand song and an Aerosmith song today
Am I happy?
>>
I actually like this shape a lot. My only problem with it is that it's a Gibson scale and that the input jack is on the lower instead of the upper horn.
>>
>>130024869
That guitar can not be comfortable to play.
>>
>>130024962
>My only problem with it is that it's a Gibson scale
What's wrong with a 24.75 inch scale length?
>>
>>130024965
You just prop it up with your boner
>>
>>130024980
it's not leo approved
>>
>>130024965
You're supposed to play standing up and every guitar is fine standing up unless it has hella neck dive
>>
>>130024933
Mine came with 4-5 already and I take care of it regardless
>>
>>130025117
"24 inch" Neck Dive is only an issue on the SG, And that's only because of the body shape and neck strap positions rather than the actual neck length. I own an Gibson and I don't suffer from neck dive.
>>
>>130024980
Just a little too loose for my taste. I've been playing 11-48 on my LP and I've gotten very used to it so I don't feel the looseness as much as before but I'd still prefer that extra tension of the 25.5 scale for all the thrash riffs and gallops and whatnot.

Different tension, and different harmonic resonance behind the bridge. To be honest, the mod didn't do exactly what I wanted. I need to get a heavier tailpiece, like the ES175 or L series.

this is just depression isnt it? none of the replies that answer your question are really going to be 'correct' and you're mostly just using this as an object for your depressive thoughts 99% chance. you should rethink your situation entirely since your problem is absurd from the get go, any answer to it will just feed into it. i mean this in the nicest way possible your problems not real anon

sidenote what the fuck does 'dead instrument' mean? is this like when people arbitrarily decide they can never play X genre because their instrument(s) isn't in every single song of said genre, even if from an objective musical point of view it's perfect for it

Tele
because a 335 > LesPaul and Jazzmaster > Strat.

Sheraton > 335
One word: class.
amount of black people involved in construction: zero (no offense BBA but your kind is not known for their work ethic. Asians are obedient nerds that follow the rules.)
Mother of Pearl or Abalone? How about both
5 piece maple/walnut neck: much sturdier
more binding = better looking, gets you laid
>>
>>130027199
Strat has the most treble and bite, like funk style. lps tend to smooth things over. tele splits the difference.
>>
>>130027480
correct. Strats are actually ass, I was a strat guy for years because the shape but a bone stock strat is a specialized tool, not versatile AT ALL it always sounds like a strat.
>muh 5 positions
positions 2 and 4 sound virtually the same and both are headache inducing
>muh 2 tone controls
completely fucking retarded and useless
Telecaster > Strat all day for versatile, and sounds good in all positions in all configurations of volume/tone knobs
>>
>>130027578
How are strats not versatile when you can play every genre on them
>>
>>130027583
you can play all genres on any electric guitar. strats sound fucking wimpy for hard rock compared to a tele
>>
>>130027199
I'd say a telecaster custom and a jazzmaster
>>
>>130027622
>telecaster custom
not a real telecaster
>>
>>130027578
>positions 2 and 4 sound virtually the same
All 5 positions are easily distinguishable. I kinda doubt you were a strat guy for years if you cant pick them out.

let me give you some advice: get an American instrument. Zoomers have gay ass priorities. I see this shit... faggots have a 2000 dollar computer and a 400 dollar guitar. Quit cheaping fucking out. If you take this seriously, you're not gonna be scraping the bottom. I'm not even trolling, I'm BEGGING you to get your shit together. Sucks seeing the next generation buying a 1500 dollar GPU for their "gaming rig" and then buying a god damn Squier, a literal toy guitar, something for a 10 year old beginner, a disposable "oh if he doesn't stick with it" guitar designed for parents on a budget.
Get fucking real. If you wanna be serious about it, be serious about it.
>muh amp
>muh effects
bro, that is the last thing you need to worry about. The actual guitar is the thing. "Tone" is a fucking joke, quit listening to Youtubers with an agenda and listen to me. You have to get a good guitar. It has to be made in America. It has to be strung up with Ernie Ball 9-42. One day, when you're good, you'll realize all that other shit doesn't matter at all. It's just about feeling and sounding great, and you're never gonna be able to take a shortcut and play some fuckin "Harley Benton" and be happy.

>slime used to do it back in the kickstarter days
If you mean broadcasting it online live, you end up attracting the wrong kind of attention. Even though CCTV is everywhere, some people don’t like their interactions being filmed (ie. while cheating on their spouse…).

This one dude who did it this way actually committed suicide. When I was touring, we thought we’d do it his way, only to watch him get hassled by people in Liverpool trying to sing karaoke.

>proof
Look up “JonnySongs” on Faceberg and see his memorial

>slime also got harassed by skinheads in Liverpool

I used to go on Omegle and take requests, but usually I’d run across a) groups of Indians, b) dudes masturbating, or c) jailbait waiting for the opportunity to say “you know I’m underage, riggght?”

Now, if you’re like slime, you’re in it for the LOVE OF THE GAME, you can just plop down on a street bench and hold court. While I’d make $250 every 4 hours in vacation spots, it’s more fun to talk to the locals and have a captive audience with anyone who wants to sit and listen.
>muh ego
I had lady car salesmen, drug addicts, bums, drunk people, cops, students, other buskers, gay dudes (slime is an unwilling fagmagnet), and others stop to listen. If you’re not a nuisance, you essentially get a key to the city.
>however…
…if I was filming any of this, most people would shy away.

Criticism like Rick Beato’s is stupid and detrimental. I get it, this kind of critisicm generates clickbait for views and all that, but him and that Fantano dude exemplify why artistic criticism is so poorly done.
>>
>>130029801
Beato has some bangers for opinions. His overly simplistic video on showing how the recording studios died out when home studios with DAW‘s came on the scene, effectively putting them out of business, is a good metaphor for our current times he essentially said that because you can have locally hosted LLM‘s on your computer, you don’t need gigantic data centers.

And Fantano got stunted on by Sam Hyde, so his opinions have been always worthless irrelevant after giving death grips (black yeller) and monkeyshines hip hop unanimously good ratings

Alright listen I get it. I really do. You got guys like Rick Beato sittin’ there breakin’ down chords, production, the whole thing very technical, very precise and then boom, he slips in a little “music used to be better.” And you’re like wait a second what just happened?
Anthony Fantano. Different animal. Completely.
He’s not dissecting the DNA he’s feeling it givin’ it a number ya know like it’s a boxing match. Seven. Eight. Light six. And suddenly people treat that number like it came down from the mountain man himself. Now here’s the thing the real thing
The problem? It’s not that these guys are stupid. No, no, no. They know what they’re doing. It’s that the system the machine rewards the sharp take. The quick hit. The “this is good, this is bad, end of story.” But don’t throw the whole thing out. Just don’t let it tell you what to hear.

What’s the deal with Rick Beato?
You click one video just one
and suddenly you’re enrolled in a full semester of music theory.
I went in for a quick tip
now I’m taking notes!
“Wait, go back what was that chord substitution?!”
And he hears everything.
You play him a song once
he’s like, “Ah yes, that’s a D minor 9 with a flat 13 resolving deceptively"
I hear it and I’m like,
“Yeah... guitar.”
And he’s so calm about it!
Like it’s nothing!
Meanwhile I’m sweating trying to figure out if I’m even in tune.
And every video is “What makes this song great?”
I’ll tell you what makes it great
I don’t have to think about it!

no but you should play with a reference tone, overlayed track, or a tuner in the beginning to make sure your intonation is accurate. if it’s a lined fretless, you aren’t really playing fretless, it’s just a farty bass

I started out on bass and fingering bitches like a gynecology exam.

I also like to use fingerpicks because you can just lower your hand on the strings like an immersion blender and hit strings in rhythm. That way, you can busk at volume and not have to worry about “did I hit the D string on every upbeat?”

No. People with money buy 100w amps not bedroom amps so there's no market for high-end small amps.

My “trick” to fingerpicking is to use every opportunity to roll your fingers like when you’re waiting (middle index pointer thumb on stair railings) or by no joke giving scritches to unwitting pets

Use a floating hand. I taught this asshole in anger management classes how to fingerpick but he insisted on posting his ring finger on the soundboard. When I told him that the middle and ring are connected by a tendon and he was styming his progress, he just said “that’s the way I do it.”
>can’t help em all

Fahey used his pinky (unusable for volume picking) to post up, but he’d switch it up:

Watch Fahey’s performance of “Lion” (his cat) and see how he does forward rolls in open G

EVH LBX II is a good choice, Vox AC15 is also well made and serviceable
