Let me guess, you're starting those phrases with a downstroke
You should really invest some time into ingraining proper alternate picking

>>130541939
i do down down down up down. it just feels more natural. i dont alternate pick them

>>130541939
or let me be clearer... i do DDDUD on the first part of the phrase. the faster part, then i alternate pick the rest of the phrase

>>130541962
At the core of funk lies rhythm, and your hand doing weird floaty shit like that doesn't help with that. Practice your alternate picking, it'll make a world of difference for music like this. And it'll feel natural as can be, since your hand locks in with the pulse of the music.

>>130541971
Rule of thumb, when playing 16th-based phrases like that, every note that falls on the grid of eighth notes should be a downstroke and every note between those should be an upstroke. In other words, your hand should just be bobbing up and down in a consistent rhythm all the way through, with those beats that don't have notes on them being just air strokes.

>>130541987
sir. im literally doing it like how the guy in the tutorial is doing it tho. hes not going DUDUD that doesnt sound right

>>130542004
>>130541987
im going to try your suggestion tho. dont be mistaken. i just dont see the point in playing something perfectly or learning something ill probably never play in a live setting.

>>130542036
Ultimately, it's your choice. I'm just saying it's a good idea to have one more tool under your belt, especially one this elementary.
Also, learning songs is fun. So is challenging yourself and growing as a player.

I'm not very confident in my ability to program drums like a drummer would sound so Idk perhaps it will be a mix of electronic sounds again.

Anyone here got both a Flying V and a King V, or has tried both, who could share some comparisons on them? I have a King V but it's a cheap one so I'm looking to upgrade soon and an Epi Flying V is at the top of my list but I can't try one in person to see how they compare. I play mostly standing and King V is absolutely perfect for it, most comfortable guitar out the few I own and I'm hoping the Flying V would be fairly similar in that regard but I'd still like some insight on them.

I wasn't out of time it was the world's longest polymeter..

imho it is legit pathetic and cringe for an adult man to use an electric guitar for anything but jazz

grow up nigga. buy an acoustic and make music. playing rock is masturbation.

>>130542371
i almost agree but metal is fine for adults to play

>>130541605
> >has a 70% chance of telling a player with a modern brand about how important Fender and Gibson were, because "they have to know history"
Yknow they have a point. Most guitars especially “modern” ones were designed for buttrock and metal bands to better appeal to teenagers with flashier pointier slop and more nonmusical widdly wee. Fender and gibson were just made to be guitars. Not that it matters because nonmusical chugga chugga killed gibson and widdly wee killed strats so now there’s only teles and offsets.

Rock is dead for this reason.

if Fender and Gibson are overrated why does every professional guitarist play one except for when another brand gives them a signature guitar (and even then they don't play it)

>>130542371
so >>130542371
>>130542371

>>130542405

For the same reason people take their clarinet to gigs instead of their EWI.

>>130542442
>clarinet
agree, the more you can get into the mindset of an orchestra/symphony musician the better you can assess the quality of an instrument

if your preferred brand does not offer a high-end, well-respected acoustic model, they likely don't know what they are doing when it comes to instrument construction and just slap electronics into pretty wood

>>130542442

For adults music is inseparable from culture and class.

Ideas like improvement, the free market, and competitive innovation are ridiculous horseshit for MBAs to jerk off to. It has never mattered how hard people optimize guitar shapes. Their music never got better even after making the ergonomically and technically ideal guitar with 76 switching options. And no one wanted to see them play that 9 string poplar burl purple puke fade devil horn comet.

Yeah, they are. I dislike 'em for playing faster stuff, too. It's just weird to skip between strings when playing beyond 180 bpm with the strings being angled away from your picking hand. Straight strings are where it's at when you're a (mostly) metal edgelord like me. Do kinda want an LTD EC 1008 with an Evertune, though, and not just because of the Evertune. It's a Les Paul without that dumb Tune-O-Matic angle, and it's comically massive. See picrel, just ignore the fucktard.

Been trying to play 80s licks so I decided to try and unfuckulate my guitar with coil taps.
I'm of the mind it definitely needs a fret sanding and the saddles re-radius'd but I found out the replacement tall nut for this older epi is tall enough... but the nut slots are cut too deep. I found a double thick business card and snipped a piece and used it as a shim (unglued, it needs a proper nut at some point) and I'm back in business.
THAT'S WHAT'S UPPPPPP.
I think everything is at 2.5mm 12fr action which drives me insane though, if I turn the truss to a straight neck the buzz is back. Why does string geometry have to be so complicated?

>>130543407
At that point just buy a pro mod

>>130543407
You can probably use baking soda and superglue to raise the slots, then refile. I'm sure that's harder than epi plastic nut.

you don’t jump straight into improvisation. you need a few months of composing. grab pen and paper, think of a really wicked solo then start humming it out loud and putting it on the guitar. when you start out you’ll find that your inner monologue is just a randomized chain of 10-15 licks. at that point you need to listen to more music preferably not guitar-oriented

how does the guy who's shredding on the jrock plank do the feedback thing towards the end? it seems like the note keeps sustainining after he lets go of the fretboard so it has to be a pedal thing.

>>130545795
What model Katana? The 50w and 100w versions have a USB C output on the back you just plug into your comp, the older models have a USB B to USB C, just select the amp as your audio input on whatever software you record with.

Better with a friend. Just do 12 bar blues, one guy plays rhythm, the other guy improvises a solo. Every 12 bars you switch on the turnaround. You can do this with a novice player by showing him minor pentatonic and a simple blues shuffle. Eventually you will evolve to more advanced stuff like metal riffs and shredding.

Arrow is cool and that schecter does look nice but I'm anal and I want a symmetrical shape. Also they're both out of my budget. And I also really dig the classic look of a flying V which is another reason why I want it. Got my king V for thrash and I'd use the epi for everything else.

Yeah, the feel of a fretless is the best, so much freedom. Keep in mind that you don't have to slide into every note and apply vibrato, you can just put your fingers where they're supposed to go right away and it'll fill the role of a fretted bass fine if you're accurate enough. I've played fretless basses almost exclusively for many years without getting any complaints.

Just fuck about with some of them. Keep in mind that a 27 and 28 inch scale baritone is pretty easy to get used to if you have never played one, but anything beyond that will probably put your ability to spread your fingers to the test.

You could probably sperg out and put one pickup for jazzy and bluesy stuff in the neck or middle and a high output pickup in the bridge. Bam, now you can be an intellectual jazz wanker and modern metal edgelord with one and the same guitar.

I'm 6'2 and have decently large hands and can just palm a basketball. But I only make 52k (in a low col state) and have a few guitars to buy before I'm down to getting a baritone. I'm buying a good small body acoustic next.

>>130549735
That's cool. Is it a full sized copy? If so, how's it feel compared to the standard LP?

>>130549769
Definitely on my bucket list someday. I'm sure it'll be fun to play.

>>130549880
It's about the interaction between the body and the strings. The electronics just listen to that. Try holding a string above a pickup and plucking it. Doesn't sound the same.

>>130549958
In that case, unironically just get an 8 string baritone that you like and sounds good to you. Once the /gg/ programming leaves your head, you realise that it's a single instrument that gives you the kind of tonal range you would otherwise have to buy three six string guitars for, at the very least. If you dislike how it sounds after a while, just swap out its parts. There are 8 string pickups with lower outputs if giga djentchad metal isn't your thing and you want to play classier shit. You don't have baby hands, so you won't bitch out when trying to play it.

Alternatively, just realise that some of the OG medieval guitars used 8 strings because of muh range and that you can't get more vintage than playing that kind of guitar.

I should do a review of the Censtar one. Might make another playing video with it when the strings get here. i feel slightly torn because i love my black epiphone which is really nice, but I'm thinking for my new music I wanna play the cheapo buckethead copy just because killswitches are fun and the guitar feels like plastic in a good way.

I'm not into metal I play more jazz/country. It's not for djent or metal just for solo guitar in a more baritone vocal range instead of a normal tenor

>>130550383
That still works. You'll get your normal six string, EADGbe, with a low B and F#. You don't lose anything, and instead of having to retune a six string if you want to go a little lower, you got two extra strings to work with. Going an entire octave below standard just means detuning by two semitones to make your F# go to E. Check out some 8 strings with passive pickups that aren't super hot and you'll kill three birds with one guitar.

>>130550450
Yeah but then you have to mess with learning all new root triads and inversions to actually use the bottom end and I don't even feel I'm good enough with the six strings I have now. I can walk around basslines through bossa nova chord changes and basic 2 5 1s and play all the normal voice leads between chord changes for general root position country changes. But I need to better memorize F and A and D as I lean way too much on c g and e keys in root because G and C are simply the best sounding ones. I'm just not into having to learn all new root positions with the additional two bass strings when I don't think I've even mastered six.

>>130550552
It's not hard to learn that with two extra strings if you already somewhat know it with a standard six string guitar. I thought the same when I got an 8 string and it just comes to you over time. It's all extrapolating what you already know, nothing more. It also makes some of that stuff a little easier because, all of a sudden, you can play chords and scales in new ways in different places on the fretboard.

Go to a store and try one out or order one to fuck around with for a bit. You can always decide to not buy it / send it back. If you like it, you probably won't want a new guitar for a while, and you've got less to worry about with your 52k.

>>magnets, wires and electronics care what wood they are placed in to the point of influencing the signal leaving the guitar

For solid-body electric guitars, the physics changes drastically because the mechanism of sound generation is entirely different.
The Pickup Mechanism
Electric guitar pickups work via Faraday’s Law of Induction. The pickup consists of a permanent magnet wrapped in thousands of turns of copper wire. The steel or nickel guitar string sits inside this magnetic field. When the string vibrates, it disturbs the magnetic field, which induces a microscopic alternating electrical current in the copper wire.
The Physics Catch: The pickup only senses changes in the magnetic field. It cannot "hear" wood. It only knows what the metal string is doing.
How Wood Sneaks Into the Equation
So, does wood matter at all for an electric? Yes, but only indirectionally, by acting as a boundary condition for the string.
When you pluck a string, it vibrates at a fundamental frequency plus a series of overtones (harmonics). The string is anchored at two points: the nut/fret and the bridge. These anchors are embedded in the wood (the neck and the body).
Mechanical Impedance (Sustain vs. Decay): When the string vibrates, a small amount of its vibrational energy leaks into the wood through the bridge and nut. If the wood is highly resonant at a specific frequency, it will absorb that frequency from the string faster. This causes that specific harmonic to die out quickly (damping).
Stiffness and Compliance: A stiffer neck (like maple or carbon fiber) absorbs less energy from the string, leading to longer sustain and a brighter tone because the high-frequency harmonics aren't lost to the wood. A softer wood might absorb more high frequencies, resulting in a "warmer" or darker sound.

>>130550903

It does. I've swapped out necks before and neck makes bigger difference than the body. Same deal with the nut. Pretty much anywhere the strings touch a surface makes contact will affect how it oscillates and sustains.

Basic physics. It's weird how dumb musicians are when the guitar is one of the more brain dead simple instruments mechanically

The Jewish YouTube guy Rick Sholl or what ever their name is made a video A/Bing different types of neck material

https://youtu.be/brNEgKCn_AM

i love headless guitars and they look especially sick on stage

>>130550903
TLDR, >>130550988 is right, the neck does vibrate to a significant degree even in electric guitars, the energy for which comes from the string you're plucked, which then doesn't go into the pickups, which means you get less sustain. On bass guitars this is even more noticeable, hence the "dead" frets. But this usually only kills one or two of the partial tones, the rest of the spectrum is still there. But the effect is not as simple as "darker wood sounds darker" or "maple is snappier". They sound different, but neither is objectively better or worse, and other factors like pickup inductance, cable capacity and picking position along the string (!) are far more impactful.
Something I've also noticed with floating bridges; certain notes may appear to die quickly as the string vibration is transferred into the block where the pickups can't sense it, then that energy goes back into the string and you get ringing. Very annoying when you're playing with lots of compression and/or gain.
These are all minute effects though. Learning to play cleanly, to mute properly, and to switch gain-adding effects on and off as needed will be infinitely more worthwhile uses of your time than letting the GAS run wild.

Provide a link, please. While there are objectively differences between wood types, I suspect that the differences in sound that he found may be in large part due to shortcomings in his experimental setup. Classic mistakes include inconsistent playing (exact picking position, velocity, and angle; use short, extremely simple examples to reduce the risk of this)

>>130551584
>When you pluck a string, it vibrates at a fundamental frequency plus a series of overtones (harmonics).
This is kind of nitpicky, but those aren't actually harmonics in the strict sense. They aren't integer multiples of the fundamental frequency; the fact that the wave propagation speed along the string is finite (it's the speed of sound in that medium, determined by string tension and material) causes the ideally harmonic spectrum to be spread out. These spread-out components are called "partial tones".
This fact is the reason why the effect guitarists call "distortion" sounds the way it does; if the guitar signal just consisted of a harmonic series, the distorted signal would also be harmonic. What we actually see is a "dense" distorted signal with components between those present in the original signal.
>Mechanical Impedance
That entire paragraph is correct, except that the nut as the boundary condition is mostly* irrelevant and it's the fret that the string is being pressed against that's acting as the boundary condition. Depending on the shape of the fretboard and fret wire, string-to-fingerboard contact may also play a role.
* The part of the string behind the fretting finger does still vibrate, though not significantly, and there are no pickups back there.
>A stiffer neck (like maple or carbon fiber) absorbs less energy from the string
Blanket statement, incorrect. A stiffer neck just leads to the mechanical impedance being roughly constant for a larger bandwidth, with the resonant frequencies higher up and spaced farther apart. Also, keep in mind that the mechanical impedance is location-dependent (where you're fretting). You may find dead spots in different places, higher up the neck, which may be an issue on a guitar used more for widdly-widdly soloing than for cowboy chords.
>longer sustain and a brighter tone
*for individual partial tones. If you're missing 2 or 3 out of a dozen, you'll still hear that note. It's fine.

It does, the effects on "tone" are just more complex than "maple bright, rosewood dark"

Thanks, M$ Copilot was too retarded and my Google-fu was insufficient.

Dave put it on the map for me and I've loved it ever since. It's such a cool shape. I had a BC Rich superstrat back in the day as my first guitar but I sold it to fund my LP and I've regretted it ever since. It had a Floyd which was annoying when I was younger but damn if I don't miss it now.

And damn that one looks sleek. Only thing I'd rather it had the classic wrap around bridge, through body looks kinda weird on that shape.

Looks nice. Honestly I love white guitars, they look so sweet. Add a bit of colour and it's perfect. I'm still not all that good at tone-ing, mostly just fucking around with presets, but good luck with it.

Checked out a Gary Clark Jr signature SG today and it was pretty cool. Three P90s with a traditional setup 3 way switch but instead of two volume and two tone knobs there’s a volume for each pickup and a master tone so you add the neck pickup into whatever position you’re in by just using its volume pot. I genuinely hate Gibson slim taper 60s necks so this definitely wasn’t a guitar I’d like neck wise but it sounded great and the controls and pickups were pretty cool. It’s giving me ideas on modding my LP Special.

You add the middle pickup oops

SGs are hot right now, invest before the peak

recorded a short jam, what you guys think? it's super simple but i kind of like it

and yes i know the solo is sloppy and i should tune the guitar. i did a better take but then i kind liked the sloppy charm and kept it. im a big slop enjoyer i guess (i love Pavement)

I think I'm getting closer to the tone I want. Just took the Blues Driver and compressor off my board and added an OS2. I was laughing at this today because I basically have 7 gainstages on my board and most of them a set near zero lol>>130549787
