>mogamiIs u playin thru the best?
>>130828276does the sustainer actually do anything?
>>130828276Cut your toenails
>>130828334yeah, all that feedback shit you hear on voca is the sustainer. I'm playing into an interface. And there are three distinct modes of sustain, one is like the base tone, the other is like feedback overtone, then the other is like a shimmered octave up feedback + base tone. It's actually pretty fucking cool if you like noisey shit. Also the only way to get feedback sounds if you're not playing into a real amp that is dimed to hell and back. I think every guitarist that is into production/recording should have either a sustainiac or fernandes sustainer guitar
>go to garage sale >buy a Boss Fender Deluxe Reverb pedal, reissue Marshall Guvnor pedal, and a Boss volume pedal (even though I had just bought one a few weeks ago) for $80 for all three Been very lucky this year finding guitar stuff at garage sales

>>130828521I can't believe Gibson managed to make that headstock even uglier. Also I can't understand why anyone would want thr pickup selector on the upper horn like that. On a side note, I need a good V.
>>130828276Nice. Cool use of the sustainer as well. I wanna get one on those on a fretless Vigier>>130828758Nice. What piece is that?

>>130828887Neat thanks. That was played on one of the blindfold classical guitar comparison vid posted a thread or two ago so it was strangely familiar.Nice playing on Star Spangled Banner as well
>>130828958ty, that's why I decided to play it lel
>>130828481yes
>>130828978Neat. Plugged into the high gain channel on the VTM with the gain at 3 with the JM neck PUP playing caveman riffs in drop D. Sounds pretty choice ngl.
>>130828276Is this the Kenny Hickey signature Schecter? Sounds nice.
>>130828887Tastefully played, I expected a ton of overdrive
Genuinely thinking about refinishing this black, yes it’s a boring color but I love the look of a black Jag with a mint guard and all the chrome and a non matching headstock. It’s already a nitro finish (or at least it’s nitro over a poly sealer) and in theory finishing nitro over nitro is much easier than needing to stop a poly finish to spray nitro from scratch
>>130829134Black is super ugly
>>130829134Black and tort looks nice on a jag.
>>130828481What’s that chord at :20, the second one after the key change? I like dat.

I've been focusing on original compositions for a while and am getting the itch to do some covers, but what the hell happened to downloading Guitar Pro files? Ultimate-Guitar seems to have nuked the download option as well as Songsterr (which I remember being the less cancer option). I just want to export the drums as MIDI to save time, are the ol' 100,000 song .zip files the only thing left?

I ordered some generic chinese "AC128 pnp germanium transistors" on aliexpress to finish my fuzz factory clone and i gotta tell ya, it sound like 99% the same as my legit fuzz factory.
>>130829508listen to a song, learn it by ear play along to a random song playlist jam with other people for 5 hours
its crazy how i been playing guitar for 15 years and i still only know the e and a strings by heart. like i can work it out by counting up from the open string but not memorized like i know 5 is a on the e, 7 is b etc.
>>130828218https://voca.ro/1m8lqoeUqtaNNew to picking, usually do classical guitar with fingering
>>130830520kinda sounds like depeche mode
>>130830451Learning octaves will help a lot with thisI.E. 5th string on the A string is D which is the string below, this true for all except the G & B string because the B string is tuned differently.The same for power chord octaves - 2 over, 2 down (right below the fifth)

it's july 5 okay to play your fake Fender again (anything japanese or mexican)
Fug I restrung my strat wrong. I guess I should've trem blocked or tuned each string individually as I was going? Right now I have it in tune but the tremolo is being pulled all the way down. Am I right that I have to restring this all over again or am I missing something
>>130830836not sure if this is the right video. watch all his shit. I played strats for years, even took lessons from a strat guy who told me to deck it (don't do it unless you don't use it) just watch his videos and learn how the things work.

>>130830994zero percent chance you've pulled a chick as hot as AOC, I get it, you're a 'based /r/thedonald' poster who hates libtards... but you're also a literal homosexual faggot and someone who resorts to intellectual dishonesty when arguing online, which is ironically a very Jewish trait

Rocksmith anon I tried placing that .psarc file in first the root folder for Rocksmith and then the DLC folder but still have the same issue, most (not all) RS1 songs won't play a preview on song selection or actually play, I can start them but they just freeze.
Is getting one of the "Epiphone Les Paul Custom Inspired by Gibson Custom" LPs worth it at all do you think? Reviews on it seem very positive and it's got US hardware and pickups. I played guitar for about a decade, and then had to quit a decade ago due to injury which isn't present anymore so thought I'd try and give it another go.My technique's all gone to shit, and I've got a lot of theory to fill in the gaps of again, but there's no way I'm picking up a poor quality starter or one of those low end mass produced Chinese deals and ideally want something quite nice to start back up with to encourage myself.Pic rel, my rig when I had to give up (ignore the carpet, student flat)
>>130831230It's a solid start, but you'll probably upgrade to a Gibson in a year unless you quit. Also get a good 1x12 or 2x12 amp, anything more is compensating
What's a good marshall bedroom amp that won't break the bankI heard the DSL40CR sucks
>>130828228Thanks
>>130829522This guy's right but I listened to the whole thing and overall it was pretty good.
>>130828218my kind of edition
>>130829676Don't know if it still works but I remember using some "hack" on songsterr where you act like you are going to edit a new version of the file and it gives you access to downloading the .gpx file or whatever. Kind of a pain in the ass to jump through all these hoops though. I miss the original mysongbook.
>>130831370You heard wrong, unless you're talking about the issues the old ones <2018 had
>>130831446How's the tone of the DSL40CR compared to an expensive marshall tube amp like the JCM?
https://voca.ro/18mUTtqZWiWO
>>130830791I was okay at it. It was my gateway into Megadeth.https://voca.ro/1fcDx9babRwI
>>130831230If you're going that epi route it's good to have it done over by a good tech/luthier regarding the fretwork. You'll have a better time once relearning if it's an easy playing instrument. Good luck man>>130831527Nice, sick playing man>>130831475Nice chords. What's the lowest string tuned at?
Is it possible for your fingers to be too fat to physically be able to play chords?
>>130831527I should have played more guitar hero back then...
>>130830836Reminds me of my first guitar, which also had a floating bridge vibrato. I restrung it and the bridge angle was ridiculous, like 60°. It didn't really cross my mind to look it up on the internet, so I just rolled with it (that was back in 2006 in a 3rd world country).>>130830855Plenty of people recommended that approach to setting it up, but it's too tedious for me. I don't care about in-tune intervals for the vibrato. What's important to me is that it's straight with the body and with a small gap.I like this thorough explanation:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjVXWyUGpwc
>>130831872Just buy a wider nut guitar with a longer scale length.
>>130831459Why would you even be considering this in the year 2026? Buy an frfr and a good modeler. If you have to go tube then get a 2x12 and a head so you can fucking sell the head if you don't like it or have multiple options later if you do. Let alone a combo from a brand not even known for combos, known for like 3 classic heads
>>130830773There is only one strat for me

Started working on my blues licks todayhttps://voca.ro/1gVJyhhIthU0What am I doing horribly (inb4 everything) and what am I doing alright in this little clip?p.s. how to sustain bends longer? more gain?
>>130831230Buy an s2 prs. Then you don't have to be embarrassed by the chinky headstock and you can embrace being old
>>130832145Compressor pedal
>>130831872String a bass with guitar strings. Boom, nice boomy bright clean tone.
>>130831230epiphones are actually good they just have 3mm action out of the box
>>130832159Roger. Just remembered I have 12/52 flats on so no wonder bending anything past the 2nd string is a bit difficult. Tuned to D standard just to make bending easier.
>>130832259Except when your headstock says squier or epiphone in your head you will always deep down feel like a poorfag cuck and tell yourself haha it's good for the price hahha with only simple modifications I can polish this turd
>>130832124I visited their factory. It's pretty neat.
>>130829792I am not a fan of non-wooden guitars.

Each pedal replicates specific classic amplifiers and iconic studio speaker/mic setups, featuring dual-engine processing, custom boosts, and cab emulations powered by the brand's Dynamic Speaker Modeling.Here is the current list of Universal Audio UAFX amp pedals:Dream ’65 Reverb Amplifier: Replicates the iconic ‘65 Fender Deluxe Reverb, famous for its sparkling American cleans and tube-driven spring reverb/vibrato.Ruby ’63 Top Boost Amplifier: Emulates a 1960s British Vox AC30, offering classic "Top Boost" chime. Includes built-in boost effects like a Dallas Rangemaster treble booster.Woodrow ’55 Instrument Amplifier: Captures the mid-1950s Fender Tweed Deluxe, delivering raw, touch-sensitive growl and crunch.Lion ’68 Super Lead Amp: Models three distinct 100-watt Marshall Plexi configurations, including super lead/bass tones and the infamous Van Halen "Brown Sound".Enigmatic ’82 Overdrive Special Amp: Delivers the elusive, highly coveted tones of a classic 1980s Dumble Overdrive Special amp.Knuckles ’92 Dual Rec Amplifier: Replicates the aggressive, high-gain punch of a 1992 Rev F Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier.ANTI 1992 High Gain Amp: Features the classic 90s Swedish death metal/metalcore sound based on a modified Peavey 5150 amplifier.Then get one of these frfr cabinets;HeadRush FRFR-112 MKIIFender Tone Master FRFR
>>130832604Full range flat response, like PA speakersModellers are those digital units that.. model or emulate a lot of those staple amplifiers like jcms, princetons, etc etcSome even have capture features where they can get 99% of the amps sound (the sag and feel is not quite there yet though, but the sounds post recording are breddy gud)Then you can add an impulse response at the end of the chain to simulate the speakers and mics as well.I can rec the quad cortex its breddy gud. Has lotsa pedals and effects in it too just add an expression pedal for wahs volume swells and controlling other parameters.I use it in a 4 cable method configuration with my tube amp + 1x12 v30 speaker and it does get me lotsa different flavors that my amp doesn't really do. Compared a capture vs an actual amp I have but currently in need of repair and it's pretty close sound wise, just lacks the stiff and big low end and the high headroom of the actual amp.
>>130831430Does yours ring like fuck behind the bridge?
>>130831430>>130828218>SGBased. Why doesn't it get more appreciation?
I wish more companies made 30"+ scale lengths guitars. I guess I have to build my own.

Should a guitar player be able to manipulate the pick in all directions and angles based on the math of the lick when alternating pick strokes?
>>130832259So do yidsons
>>130833022Some people just don't know.
>>130833009yup, but I think thats the soul of this thing so I leave it as it is.
>>130833454Annoyed the piss out me when I owned one like 12 years ago. Ended up putting a wrap around them because the ringing was always out of the key I was playing and it was quite dissonant. Pick ups were interesting, felt quite good, but felt cheap too I seem to remember.
>>130833047A short scale bass is 30" and if you like a Gibby nut size 1+5/8"? A Fender precision bass, even copies has the exact nut width. Just get a fretless or make one fretless, or you could glue on a new fingerboard you custom ordered if you haven't the basic lutherie skills + fretfind2D.
>>130833022The headstock is almost as big as the tiny bodyIt looks stupid if you aren't a hobbit like angus young
Name a more masochistic instrument than guitar.
Should I just sell my acoustic? I haven't touched it in years and don't really care about playing it for anything

>>130833611you ever try drums?
>>130833483the neck width on bases are tapered too much to modify to my desired specifications. I've looked into it extensively. I just have to build my own.
>>130833624>grug bash thing with stickooooo, scary.
>>130833022because HBs sound muffled and boring!
>>130833263A guitar player should be able to do whatever they need to do to produce the sound they want to hear.
>>130833651Have you tried Warmoth semi custom necks?
>>130833651Try this. https://warmoth.com/guitar-necks/bass6
>>130829508On the weekend ill spend an hour learning and playing songs then another hour writing
>>130833651https://warmoth.com/gn-b6$324 custom basic 30" neck
>>130833652no one ever said anything about drums being scary man, its just that your hands will get just as fucked up playing drums as they would playing guitar, if you don't take breaks and take care of yourself.
>>130832390>>130832477Thanks man, I'll add more of it. I'm still testing the waters on what vibrato technique works best for me, but it's probably best to learn many different techniques for different situation. The way Allan Holdsworth does horizontal vibrato with the whole hand sounds the best when I do it. Clapton's vibrato gives me really fast vibrato.https://youtu.be/BLapKecB-os&t=24

>>130831459Anything is going to sound sucky compared to a JCM
>>130829420Sounds like F#7
>>130833009Add a strip of foam behind the bridge to help mute ringing
I got a 99 MIM strat for $220, did I do /gg/ood?
>>130833703>>130833728>>130833765I'm still going to build my own considering I want a set neck and a multi scale 7-string with 32" for the 7th string.
>>130829420>>130834225Sounds like244300 to me.
>>130833611Violin. I bought pic related after binge practicing a mandolin... I thought it should be easy enough to learn easy basic stuff for recording instead of relying on sample libraries and plugins/synths. Oh how I was so terribly wrong. To learn this instrument you need to start at like 4 years old. I don't even think I ever got the proper posture down and how to hold the bow. I mean, I would look it up and try every time I picked it up, but that alone was so exhausting and my adult brain could never really absorb it enough to memorize and make it second nature. Fretting a note is so much different too, then there is the bow technique, upstroke vs downstroke, length of the stroke, where the it is touching the strings in relation to the bridge, how much resin you have on the bow, is it enough, is it too much, wolf tones, squeaking, applying enough pressure consistently throughout each stroke of the bow, not miscalculating during a run and using the incorrect amount of length of the bow which will throw off the rest of the run... it goes on and on. When you are 4 and you start out, your entire lessons are focused on picking up the instrument and holding it properly. Such a very very very slow but necessary pace... it makes guitar look like disneyland
>>13083432099 is based can we see it?
>>130834320eh, depends on fret wear and neck relief/truss rod. MIM fenders can be absolute dogshit unplayable mess. I'm surprised at what I've seen leave that factory and show up on the GC rack. If there were any guitar make/model that you were most likely to get an unplayable trash instrument brand new, it would be MIM strats.That said, it doesn't mean yours is. There are okay ones. Very very super rarely, (so rare I've only ever seen one and I bought it) there are *good* ones. Not great. But like comparable to a decent cort or indonesian/korean/chinese guitar
>>130834494You have a really (undeserved) high opinion of yourself
>>130834443No, if I take a picture of it it will lose its soul (I'm not home with it yet)
>>130834507can you splain this? why do you say this?

The songs I'm learning seem super simple, I can see how someone would come across this stuff while fishing on the fretboard, I just can't seem to find something good myself. Sometimes I'll play through the same thing over and over again like an insane person, going nowhere and hoping to get somewhere because it's SO CLOSE to something worthwhile. Sometimes I'll end up with a song that already exists. I suppose you have to keep moving around until you get there. Learning an instrument is much more experimental than I thought, it's more about discovering something than trying to create it for me. Music theory is like mathematics THO. I don't know how people can find joy in that, literally just an equation with the same answer everyone else gets
>>130835424Midnight blue is a nice color. Mine had a chucky maple neck
https://vocaroo.com/17s9Vp8gUw0P
>>130835424Let me guess. Your neighbor's grandson died, and you told her those are only worth $200.
>>130835666Nope, I told her they were only worth $50 each but I would be a nice guy and give her a little extra. I showed her a used glarry as proof
https://voca.ro/1nDHh6atXIfk
>>130835707Based used guitar vulture
>>130835707no it was just good timing on facebook I asked the guy when I got there if he had any other guitars for sale since I saw a bunch in the background, and he sold the kramer without strings for $10, and the MIM for $220 It's not a focus 6000 but I don't actually know what it is. The sunburst I'm assuming is a ks400. black one I dunno. I don't know shit about kramers.
>>130835604just noodle
>>130835604>literally just an equation with the same answer everyone else getsThis is as far from the truth as you can get. You can make a million different sounding songs using the exact same chord progression just by varying melody, rhythm, arrangement, harmonic rhythm etc.
>>130833022it's a nice backup for a real guitar
>>130830664ya got chops kid how about you buy a mic worth a damn now
Been playing for 21 years and switching still fucks me up sometimes. I'm a pure lead and riff player Dm still gives me a hard time but I can play F all day for some reason
>>130835862Not him but what mic would you recommend for recording guitar?
Shure SM57
>>130831753>what’s the lowest string tuned at?Drop A

>>130828343thats about as short as I cut them generally... the quick under my nails goes out far, so if i do any shorter, i get into the fleshy part and risk bleeding/cutting myself
>>130834396Lol so true, the learning curve for fiddle is insanely steep, I've been playing for ten years or so and still stuck! I found returning to things like gdad and adae helped immensely for learning tunes and being able to rely on drone notes from adjacent strings to fill out the sound and cover up my sloppiness... good luck anyhow, fiddle playing has reverse informed my guitar playing after I return to it so learnings from, one are always transferable somehow!
I jammed over backing tracks from Satriani's Engines of Creation this morning. It took me 25 years and I ended up as old as he was when he made it, but I can finally play and improvise to a degree where I don't sound out of place on my hero's album. Made me cry old man tears. All those years of plateaus.
>>130835976>art on wall>clean floor>folded towel>laufey guitardefinitely a girl
Ever buy a guitar from a local builder? I see a few around here, they look nice. Usually natural wood. I assume they must be better than a mass production Squire made in a rush by the hundreds but there's no way to tell unless I message the guy and play it in front of him.
>>130836008that would sound better if you tightened up your time. Notes that should fall on the same beat... should fall on the same beat or they lose power and sound sloppy. Don't be afraid to use a click track, metronome or programmed beat as a guide.
>>130835604you're thinking about this way too hard
>>130835912Nta but just get a SM57
>>130836067Nah. The only ones even potentially worth a shit have multi year long backlogs at this point.
>>130835912for electric skip the mic and get an ir200

It's understanding what the music is doing and how to apply what you know over it or knowing what's going to work even if you're just doing improv. It's like a language and you don't speak like a retard by learning about that language. You sound like a retard if you stand up for a company speech and go "A, B, C, D ,E ,F, G" faster and faster. Writing is mostly about having fun and getting things from your mind to the fretboard.
Ugh where are the deals

>>130835837>>130836195I'll reconsider theory. What's the basic stuff I should know? I know some of it could be useful, I don't know where to start, and I don't want to chip away at it until everything I touch sounds like stock music. I'm new to it. right now I'm just copying indie song chords and fingering my guitar in hopes that she'll make a nice sound. I still don't know much about it.

if it sounds good somebody already wrote it.this is why you take a known riff and tweak it to be your own. we call this influences. great bands will steal 30 year old obscure songs and make them relevant with their addition and energy. if you write something from the ground up it either A. Sounds like boring dogshit. B. Sounds like something somebody else wrote you just started at square one to reinvent the wheel.

>>130836491>What's the basic stuff I should know?The names of the notes at every fret on the fretboard, how to identify intervals visually on the fretboard as well as aurally, the formula for the Major scale, be able to sing a Major scale from a given reference pitch (ascending & descending), have a basic understanding that tertian harmony is stacked 3rds and quartal harmony is stacked 4ths (duh), know how to read chord names, how to subdivide a beat into 2, 3, 4, or 6 equal subdivisions, what the difference is between a swing/shuffle feel and a straight rhythmic feel, know the structure of a basic 12 bar blues progression.Also memorize that the default Major scale harmony isI = Majorii = minoriii = minor (often gets subbed with III7 in rock/pop)IV = Major (sometimes gets subbed with a IV (major) -> iv (minor) in a cadence going back to the I chord)V = Major (THE Dominant chord)vi = minorvii = diminished (hardly gets used functionally in most popular music, unless you count the minor ii V7alt i progression in Jazz). In popular music it's more common to play it as a V or V7 over the vii chord's bass note (as a V/vii slash chord).

>>130836491Theory isn't one thing. People who are self-taught, still fundamentally understand important aspects of music theory on their own terms. Everything you know about music is sort of theory. Theory is just a meta layer to help conceptualize wtf is going on. You should want to study theory in a way to broaden and improve what you can do musically. That can be very little things that make your playing sound a lot more interesting. It can be very difficult concepts that need years to actualize.

>>130837622Heritage is the real Gibson.
>>130837660Not anymorePrivate equity chinkshit
>>130836491I'm the first anon you replied to. First thing is you need to know the note names since it's like the alphabet of the language of music. After that learn what scales are and how to construct them, and then learn how chords are constructed from scales. Then learn what intervals are and how they're essentially derived from scales and learn how to hear them by ear, since intervals unlock everything in music, especially creating your own music. Learn how chords interact with eachother by studying the music you like, find midi/sheet music/tabs and break it down and also try to make music using chord progressions. Essentially just watch some basic videos on music theory and find some ways to practice and internalize it. It's a framework that helps you comprehend, memorize, and extract what you like from the music that you like. However it is descriptive, not prescriptive, so don't expect it to tell you what to do.
>>130837796Essentially, just imagine saying to yourself "I think I want to use those 4 chords I like the sound of together here" vs "I want to use a VI VII V i progresson here" because you know what it sounds like and you can play those chords in any key and position because you know how they are constructed.

>>130839896Thanks, I appreciate it. My main problem in playing these is using MUSICAL CHORD VOICINGS. I'm often stuck playing E or A string rooted barre chord voicings to outline progressions and it feels very limiting, like I can only use one or two kinds of voicing and I can only play in 2 different places on the neck. I've worked out some other voicings like D string rooted voicings with the 3rd in the bass, or working on breaking up the bigger barre voicings into smaller chunks and adding embellishments and such, but I still feel like I'm missing pieces of the puzzle.I really wish it wasn't up to me to put Mick Goodrick's Almanacs of Guitar Voice Leading into Guitar Pro format. It's such a tedious process translating these Mick Goodrick, Ted Greene and Randy Vincent books into a format that I can just click and play along with to get some hardcore practice in.
>>130837914>>130839975>it's a patch in the quad cortexVery cool. Would it track well for faking Bluegrass fiddle tunes?

>>130840032Learn your triads and memorize the notes on the fretboard
>>130840104Been working on it.
>>130840068The synth? The tracking is breddy gud, the problem is the noisy artifacts. I tried messing with the sensitivity and noise gate and being an amateur it's still not as squeaky neat compared to their artists doing demos. Gotta be extra precise in muting the other 5 strings - any tiny noise it will clash and squeak and kill your intended note. If the note ends up buzzing or fading as a harmonic in the end it will squeak as it dies out. But I'm sure there are people out there who know how to get the right response and tone they want from actually knowing what the knobs do (excellent technique notwithstanding).
>>130840130You could also just play the chords with a looper if all you're doing is making guitar pro play them

I’m hoping to learn jazz guitar someday so I can mimic George Van Eps. But I’ve always, always dreamed of being able to play Russian guitar songs like The Poor Branch. Russian guitar ostensibly uses 7 strings, so that’s what I’m hoping I can learn to do on my electric 7-string. I might also re-learn Bach’s lute suites while I’m at it, but it’ll be awkward doing it with a pick. Does anyone have any recommendations for how to learn my way around a 7-string? I’ve been looking at tabs for my favourite death metal bands, and it’s mainly just the same sort of riffs and galloping and tremolo, so it seems relatively easier than learning other aspects of guitar. Note: I’ve only had lessons for classical guitar and sort of new to playing any metal.

Fender basically owns every other guitar brand. You’re just paying Fender at the end of the day.

>>130840513Personally on 7 strings I tune the G string down a half-step and treat it as a baritone guitar with an extra high E. Frankly, the only good Death Metal band to use 7 strings was Morbid Angel and Trey for the most part only used them sparingly when he wanted to get a heavier sound.

>>130842631This. Whenever someone talks about tonewoods, I look at them like Paul Reed Smith talking about cavity cover screws affecting tone. It's pretentious superstition that's cost the industry real advancement over the years. Imagine where we'd be if the rest of the industry followed Steinberger's lead in the 80s. Instead, we get a watered down revival from Strandberg (I'm still glad it's happening though).
>>130842854i used to believe this but it doesn't make sense when you consider semi-hollow guitars. hollowbodies you can point to the fully resonant chamber and the additional contact between the strings and the body via the arch. a semihollow has a solid middle section and no arch, and yet it sounds a lot different than a solid body. just compare an SG and a 335. same scale length, same pickups, same manufacturer, different body. if the shape of the body make so much of a difference, why wouldn't the wood
>>130842854I now remember Aristedes exists and don't feel so bad.>>130842876We're not talking about acoustics, so you can eliminate the the shape argument right there. Unless your pickups are microphonic, which they shouldn't be. The closest the tonewood kids get is by associating mass or density, which exists in non-wood states either way. So, no, tone and wood aren't causally linked. You got bamboozled by big wood in a pretty dress.

>>130843028>>130843039They sound different due to the effect of mass on sustain, not because wood magic or acoustic reverberation properties of somehow magically affecting how a string vibrates at 440hz to electrically produce an E.

>>130841029okay, so after watching the trailer its pretty obv this is targeted towards gay offsetter millennials that only know how to play barre chords rhythmically. so basically its totally for me, but me being the contrarian and wanting to learn \m/etal riffage, I should prob just stay away
Uh, hold up, hold up, sirs. Why does the progression Ab-A sound the same as Emaj-Amaj?
>>130843233oh but you *are* him, aren't you? "he" isn't real. you are the dad... right?
>>130842876It's all just electric guitar. Playability and electronics come first. Then construction. Then materials. Just because you're perfect pitch Beato's firstborn golden boy and have never failed a blind guitar recording experiment, doesn't mean anyone else really gives a shit. All of this stuff sounds so similar it's negligible. The closer together each instrument is, that much more it doesn't matter. A baritone won't sound like a short scale. A hollow body won't sound like an ESP with Tolkein's active dwarven chugbuckers. Jim Lill can disprove everything else.
>>130843198Mass and density, not weight. The other properties aren't important because a non-microphonic pickup removes the issue of acoustic sound completely from the equation. In your example, the mass is just relocated away from one end of the strings outward. The pickup isn't hearing your instrument. It's just watching your string go back and forth. The string is either going back and forth at a frequency or it isn't. There's no magic acoustic information being put into the pickup and no magic information is coming out. Is the string vibrating and how long. That's all you're getting.
>>130843250she calls me daddy now if that's what you mean
>>130843242Please, what am I missing?
>>130843253I think scale length has a lot more to do with tone than we think. I have put slash pups on an LP and they sounded great. Then I put same pickups on a 25" scale length superstrat and they sounded like ceramic dogshit chinesium pups
>>130843039When you realize you probably play and hold those guitars differently subconciously, you're gonna flip. Also, are the pots the same? All the wiring lengths? Same wires used all around? Are the bridges from the same ingot?
>>130843270like what, when you two are playing house together? as like a joke? I don't get it...
>>130843293I'd agree with this. Pickups (I'd say even more so in a signature set) are wound to sound good in a certain frequency spectrum. I wouldn't want to play p-bass pickups on my Explorer.

>>130843293I agree, but I don't think fender vs gibson scale is enough for my ears to pin it down consistently. Then you throw in 250k vs 500k pots, buckers vs singles. It's like they make a lot of choices but still try to keep the guitars about the same. Like a baseball strike zone.

>>130843282Why did you specify maj on some chords and not others? Anyway if you're talking about just the root motion, Ab is the 7th relative to A, so normally you might play an E/Ab ("E over A Flat") there, which would just be an inversion of the E chord, creating the same kind of V -> I resolution just with the bass movement to the Tonic (A) occurring from a half-step below rather than a 5th above (or 4th below).
