If you fap to your metronome your loads double in volume
>>130855519he is the greatest guitarman to have ever lived and played the instrument
Reposting. I'd really dig how this sounds if it didn't sound like it was coming out of a toilet bowl. It's close to what I want, but not quite there, it becomes distorted when you strum. Too much feedback.https://voca.ro/16aLKkXr91RG
https://voca.ro/1jWee8LCUKCs
I don't hate high gain distortion, I like a dimed fuzz afterall, it's just those pedals aimed at doing heavy metal I just can't stand

Still not sure why kids pretend to be scottish on here. Not something you'd want to be born into.
its a meme you dip, simple as
>>130858374Ah, I grew out of those in 2010.
Should I just learn scales/keys that fit my vocal range? I'm not in a band I just want to write music and sing it myself
>>130858457If singing is the focus, yes, tailor what you write to your vocal range as that's got a hard range limit. But learning 1 scale/key on guitar technically means you learned all of them. It just moves up and down the neck.
>>130858482>If singing is the focusWhat is the difference between that and just having vocals in a song?
>>130858495*yourIf you write songs meant for you personally to sing, write it in a range you can operate.
>>130858374>>130858083>>130858431JAG-WIREE
>>130858562ThanksI've also heard key doesn't really matter, modes do
>>130858495Instrumentalists tend to write things that demonstrate the range of the instrument. I'd write a song differently if the melodic focus was on a guitar because I know I can add emotional weight to the melody by taking it places a human voice can't go (huge slides, huge intervals, speed modulations). In this scenario, the vocal isn't the real demonstrator of emotional weight in a strictly musical sense, I'd focus more on vocal rudiments. If I was writing for a singer, I'd expect a more nuanced performance of the melody in a smaller range than that of guitar.
>>130855775Dont be scared
>>130858652Someone with better knowledge and philosophy of theory than myself would have to weight in on that. My instinct is to say that modes are more important if you're not changing keys. When you start changing keys, the ability of a mode in a different key to "sit" in the overall harmonic structure of the piece becomes harder to do because of dissonance. Again, I'm not a theorist. And I am stoned.
>>130858803One can hear what mode is being played. They each have a sound. Yes, it changes if the soloist stays in one scale and the underlying chord switches. I don't have a formula for you but at least moving your scale once in a progression and having some key notes to get to makes a lot of difference.
>>130855486I've had a pretty nice black MIM strat with a maple fretboard I got used for like 300 dollars in 2018. I am now real into rory gallagher and have a whole plan of buying a sunburst strat with a rosewood fretboard NOT that gay ass indian laurel or whatever and then buying some pickups from a company in england that's supposedly sound like the irish tour pickups. Thoughts? any ideas to make it cheaper than buying a 900-1200 dollar fender and 400 dollar pickups?
>>130858652you can completely ignore modes it's not a necessary or even helpful thing to learn. how modes sound is one of the most intuitive things you can pick up by ear, and playing a different mode doesn't mean anything as far as the notes on the fretboard. it's just about resolution and tonal centers and your ear can do that. theory is better suited for more useful things
>>130858784What is wrong with parakeet?You think parakeet is feminine?
I bought a pink Firefly strat :-)
>>130859412
>>130858457the bottom of your register is what's important. if you can comfortably and loudly sustain an E2 you're perfect for standard tuning

>>130855775block it and make sure to remove strings before adjusting the posts to avoid fucking up your knife edges. once you get a floyd dialed, it's a joke how easy they are to maintain.
Is it possible to palm mute and stay in tune on a floating Floyd?
>triads are good for a complete melody>chords are good for harmonywtf are dyads for then
>>130859977triads ARE chords
does anyone do the thing where you put the ball end of the strings in the headstock with floyd roses or os that a meme?
>>130860027That's how it's done
>>130859977for guitar, i see dyads used all the time to get a clean-ish amp to break up. single notes are clean-ish, double stops break up
luv me ibanez bass, luv me cort bass
>>130860027That's the only way I have ever done it. I don't really play floyds anymore but it makes me happy seeing them strung up that way.
Postan my NGD again because I'm just so pleased with it
>>130860764Based guitar, luv Yamaha SGs
>>130860764Split inlays are welcome here.
>>130860764Based. Congrats anon. I've always really dug these.

Why are there no Mustangs with maple fret boards?
>>130861213*goes out of tune*
>>130861096>>130861146>>130861176Cheers anons. My left wrist gave up on me a decade ago and I gave up all my cool gear and have been playing some bass on and off to build some strength back. Got myself something nice to really give me motivation to practice and be better than I was before.
>practice exclusively fingerstyle the past few days on acoustic>go back to picking on my electric guitar today>can now play riffs/chord progressions with ease when I struggled with them a few days ago even though I haven't practiced them since I picked up the acousticWhy is thisAlso I really don't know how that one anon is struggling with alternate picking, maybe it's because I'm 25 and my neuroplasticity hasn't even peaked yet but I didn't struggle with it at all learning it. No hate to him I hope it comes to him
>when the Tim Henson truck drives by your house
I asked last week and nobody answered, so trying my luck again. I'm playing at a kids birthday party in a week and it was requested I play the rugrats theme song at the party. Does anyone know where I can find a tab for this or can anyone transcribe?
>>130861268>Why is thisAcoustic probably has heavier strings and higher action. Your fingers were pumping iron. I've been practicing legato on my acoustic a little here and there until my forearm on my fretting hand loses steam. I realized that routine was where my speed gains were coming from.
>>130861268You must understand that when people talk about struggling with alternate picking, they're talking about alternate picking the string changes, not just alternate picking on a single string. Or are you doing a bad faith smugness?
>>130861337Brother if you can't figure this out by sitting down and listening to it with a guitar in your lap, I'm worried about how the rest of your set will go. It is an incredibly simple single note progression.
My inlays look like an old lady's doilies.
>>130861397>bad faithNo, I was just curious.Yes I assumed he was talking about string changes as well.
>>130861751cute
Bros I love the new Strat so much
>>130861777Yep. I always wanted an Explorer but I emotionally aged out of metal a long time ago (not a dig on anyone). This one felt like it leaned southern rock steampunk. Plus the pickup combo and switching are pretty diverse.
>>130861682I don't have a trained ear I have not been playing that long.
>>130859126A single coil is a single coilLearn how to use EQ, and use a long cable with high capacitance, this will give you a lower resonance peak from the LC of the pickups and cable, and get you closer. Also, use the same type of amp. Not necessarily same model, but something with the same gain/EQ topology
How accurate are songster tabs?
>>130861836That's what I am saying, treat this as a learning/training experience. Noodle around until you figure it out. It's extremely simple and is exactly the kind of thing you should be cutting your teeth on this early on in your playing career.
>>130861310This guy is living next to a gay brothel
>>130861216they were a custom order thing in the 70s, one anon here has one
Real niggas play that Boogie. Real niggas got that plexi
>>130861766I think I'm probably the guy you are talking about, which is one reason I replied. Yes, I struggled to get alternate picking up to full shred speeds and ultimately gave up on it in favor of a variety of techniques, chiefly economy picking. That doesn't seem too unusual to me. Spend any time online and there are people who can't get their alternate picking up to the speed and accuracy they want and are constantly searching for the magic bullet that will fix their technical problems so they can finally relax and play the music they want to play.
>>130862174>relax your wrist and armGood advice>relax your cockBetter advice
>>130862174Anyway, here's Moto Perpetuo (Racer X version) WITHOUT alternate picking, at a relatively slow tempo:https://voca.ro/1jQRwNPRkVYIGonna duck out now.

>>130861205>>130862688whoah thanks for sharing. I've been trying to rearm myself with better soldering kit since the road claimed my weller station, but i could never figure out a way to safely store it. now I think I can buy a nice hakko station plus some mitutoyo calipers and a few other guitar and EE related stuff. i can put my vamplier kit in there too (also japanese). I highly recommend vampire electronics if you need good set of guitar flush cut pliers/needlenose/etc. also comes with a neat lil solder sucker thing that is quality (pic related). just wanted to say thanks /gg/uys... i have a bit of a weeb side when it comes to tools.
I'm a lover not a fighter.
>>130862688Many thanks anon. JIS can’t be beat. My motorcycle is also a japan import, and my car is a right hand drive jdm daihatsu, so it’s important to have japanese tools on hand. I appreciate the recognition,
>>130863709Oh i totally missed this post too. I’ll look into getting some vampire toolsThey look like they’d be good for gunpla too haha. Ty for the recommendation. Weeb bros rise up
>>130863718Oh that middle jagcaster? Telemaster? Dont even know… so sexy.
Kiesel gets rid of a classic Carvin design (V220) just to make Schecter-tier slop instead? What a sovlless company

>>130864335>Looks like a fagwhat else do you look for in a guitarist?
>>130861751they look more like anime faces you'd type the further down the neck
so I just got curious to learn to play bass and got this bad boy from amazon (pic related)where to learn in a friendly and fun way so I dont get bored on the first 3 days? lulz
>>130863709Im not sure about prices from japan these days, but vampliers are just re-branded "engineer" brand. You can usually save a few bucks (and have a wider selection) buying from them instead. Same for that solder sucker, though you did buy the best one and it will last forever, so no need to rethink that.

>>130855486Going back to practicing Electric Wizard after trying to learn death metal for the last several months feels so much easier.
My guitar is intonated properly but it’s sharp at the first five frets, what gives
>>130864862Nice Stealth, I have the natural wood finish one.
>>130865051Thats fucking awesome. I'd love one, but I'm looking for a red ironbird next. Maybe I can find an NJ next time I go to Japan and thrift. Necks come off so it shouldn't be too bad. What do you play on yours and how do you have it tuned? Mines in B standard at the moment. Speaking of tuning, they hold their tune pretty damn well huh?
>>130865051Oh and this is how I fought the insane neckdive. Not sure if the koa has that problem.
>>130865066I have it in E and pretty much only use it for clean stuff since I love the way the X2N and D-Activator X sound coil tapped. If I wanted to play Metal on it I would probably replace the bridge with a Super Distortion. Funny enough you mention a red Ironbird since I recently just found a, to my knowledge, late 80s NJ series one at a local used music store, and in fairly good condition -- although I am probably going to replace the bridge.
>>130865012Improperly cut nut - too high or some of your first five frets are worn down that intonation is off
gonna do a home-made fish filet except no lettuce and on a tortilla instead of a bun
>>130865078LmaoOn a related note to get rid of a dead/wolf note on my guitar I used to attach a metal clamp on the headstock. Removed the deadnote but introduced neck dive. These days just a capo with a strat bolt on plate does the job just fine of changing its resonant peak
>>130865094>Funny enough you mention a red Ironbird since I recently just found a, to my knowledge, late 80s NJ series one at a local used music store, and in fairly good conditiongreat minds think alike huh>If I wanted to play Metal on it I would probably replace the bridge with a Super DistortionI doubt I could tell the difference with an hm2 and mt2 stacked lol
>>130865296The X2N is difficult to use with audio interfaces if you are trying to play any kind of heavy stuff since pretty much any accenting will cause it to clip even at the lowest gain -- maybe a DI box would help in that regard
>>130865349Honestly the gain Im using is relatively minimal, the hm2 has no gain and is just there to color the sound and the mt2 only has gain at like 30% or less probably. I dont know much about audio engineering but it sounds chainsawwy enough, while being able to hear the notes.https://youtube.com/shorts/HN-xA4VazQY
>>130865349Im still pretty new, but heres some of my playing on the stealth. I'm practicing drowned by entombed. I can play all the riffs at my own pace and one or two along to the beat.https://vocaroo.com/1giM8qaKG2OO
>>130865361I'm talking about the gain for the direct, unaltered instrument signal that goes into the audio interface A/D converter, into the computer to be used with an amp sim. The X2N is too high output for a direct instrument input into the audio interface (unless you have a really good one I guess). Trying to do any kind of riffs like this would just cause nothing but digital clipping unless I assume you really compressed the signal before getting converted, but that would really lame: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=473-w5R2EvU&t=261s>>130865393Nice. Incantation - Onward to Golgotha would also be great material to learn as a beginner.
>>130864743thats good to know. what would be like the Japanese equivalent to Snap-On tools? Like what is the top-tier, industry standard tool-maker that is a household name in Japan?
>>130865433>Nice. Incantation - Onward to Golgotha would also be great material to learn as a beginner.Sounds great and the tabs look simple. Ill try it next time I tune the stealth up tp C to play more Dehumanized. Never thought Id actually be able to start playing this style of music. So much fun, especially tremelo picking.

>>130866959Do you care and feel bad about it, or do you accept where you stand and just do your thing and enjoy it because there's always a bigger fish and someone who has more talent or infinitely more time than you? Or something else?
>>130867040i feel bad about it when they tell me to improv or "come up with a solo" on the spot for a parti can come up with melodies at home more comfortablyotherwise im fine with it, and they're mostly happy with me
>>130867053Yea that's how it is... I can relate. You can try jamming more and with more people and push through the suck so it'll get better. But a lot of the music I listen to is dead simple, some very cool songs are by people who barely knew how to play, are recorded by someone with a tape recorder in a crowd etc... so in the end it really doesn't matter unless I myself make it into a "competition".>For much of his career, Berlin could not read sheet music, and was such a limited piano player that he could only play in the key of F-sharp; he used his custom piano equipped with a transposing lever when he needed to play in keys other than F-sharpThis guy wrote "White Christmas"... and 1500 other songs.

Which guitarist has the greatest number of imitators and why is it Yngwie J. Malmsteen?
>>130867602It’s either SRV or Clapton
>>130867010Nice
>>130867738Name some SRV clones. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Kenny Wayne Shepherd. I've heard guys like Nick Johnston do SRV lines in their bluesy playing, but Nick Johnston's other stuff is too dissimilar to call him an SRV clone. A lot of the modern blues guys are way more Major Pentatonic-y than SRV. I guess pretty much everybody cops the Eric Johnson add9 pentatonic cascade thing, come to think of it.
>>130867738clapton is the one that really got me into guitar lol. played very casually just doing chords and reading tabs for riffs but calpton specifically from john mayall through layla got me into trying to learn theory and scales and such to be able to easily play like him and understand what he was doing with his solos lol. then interest fell and I am now my motivation is reignited with rory gallagher and I am back to grinding to be able to play some of his stuff

What was your "Eureka!" moment as a guitar player? What unlocked it for you? For me, it was learning three note per string diagonal runs across three positions. I spent the majority of my time on guitar learning technique and basic theory first and fretboard navigation second.

>>130869881Needs two more frets to be playable.
>>130869881Station wagon guitar for gramps.
>>130869881anything that isnt am pro or ultra from fender is basically trash. if you're doing buckers, at least get a meteora and be different
>>130869978hate to hear this I REALLY want a new strat but dont want to spend more than paying for a used player ii lol
>>130869978this isn't true at all. my am pro fender is probably my worst guitar as far as quality goes. the strap button literally popped out of the body and i had to fix it with toothpicks. in order of quality:>Gibson ES-335 (2026)>MIJ Fender Mustang (1990s)>Gibson SG Standard (2000s)>FGN Telecaster (2000s)>American Professional Stratocaster (2017)
How do you make a song that only uses a few chords sound dynamic or interesting?
>>130868731Talk to me when she can cover Shawn Lane.
>>130870247listen to jazz cats vamping and soloing over just a couple chordsif you want to make it a full song i don't think you have a choice but to add more to the harmony. thats what makes different song sections sound different. a vamp is just setting up camp in one part of the song
>>130870247Listen to Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd
I'm getting guitar lessons in a couple of weeks. What should I expect? Should I prepare myself for the potential humiliation?
>>130870636>Should I prepare myself for the potential humiliation?Why would a tutor humiliate you for not being as good as them?
>>130870636no one is going to give you a hard time but your guitar teacher, another student, or some other random employee at the shop is going to mog you. you've got to be ok with that. everyone gets mogged on the path to mogging
>>130870671I think it's my self-hatred and my lack of self-esteem(I'm working on it with a therapist).
>>130870687>(I'm working on it with a therapist).you're wasting your time and money.
>>130870687if you are in therapy and about to take guitar lessons you are doing the two things that improved my quality of life more than anything i've ever done. good job
>>130870704therapists are useless but therapy isn't. the therapist is just there as a rubber duck, you do all the work. learning to look inward is a difference maker
>>130870721never met a single person that regularly goes to therapy that has actually improved their life at all. something something profit treating symptoms something cure
>>130870768you're on 4chan you've talked to maybe a dozen people in person your whole life and got out of those situations as quickly as possible
>>130870687get mogged but learn from them, its not like they were born with 1000 hours of more practice than you, but different practice methods will make a huge difference
>>130870839i think if you let comparison stop you from making progress in a skill you deserve it. it shows you are only interested in the skill to flex on other people, and you can't tolerate being flexed on. if you are genuinely interested in music you don't get mogged you just get shown something cool you can learn one day
>>130870217why are you in this thread 24/7? get a life already you sad loser
>>130870247well first off a song is like 12% chord progression and the rest is the rest of the band, the vocals, latin percussion, studio tricks and samples
>>130870879i'm on stimulants it's not possible for me to be sad
>>130870811oh are we still pretending the big two six that 4chan is le elite underground h4ck3r club?
>>130870401Lynyrd Skynyrd was something else3 lead guitarists yet none of their songs feel cluttered - how??
>>130870940no one who interacts with people in real life uses 4chan because it's associated with nazis and pedophilia. not that complicated
>>130870946harmony.listen to some thin lizzy and judas priest as well
>>130870973ironically only (you) who are terminally online think like this. normal people don't give a shit. it's just edgy reddit.
How do I become the millennial Jeff Beck?
>>130870983no one thinks of 4chan as "edgy reddit". they've either never heard of it because you're in flyover country, or they know it as the nazi pedo site
Limitations make good and unique music
Buying this and turning it into a Dave Murray Strat.
>>130871005Nta but your fantasies imposed by not having a social life doesn't translate to everyone else
>>130871116I'm sorry
>>130870973nta but I interact with a ton of people irl. I just loathe any other non-anonymous online discussion forum, these are even more cancerous than this website.
>>130870973brutal self report
>>130870274I imagine most people can play dead.
>>130870768This. If anything it just turns people into sociopaths.
do you guys think this is worth trying to pick up? https://reverb.com/item/63944086-fesley-custom-hello-kitty-custom-2022-egg-shell-blueIt's selling at an auction right now sitting at ~$200 after shipping with a few hours to go.
>>130871277No, stop being a retard
>>130871295oh okay :( I was just considering it because that's like $300 worth of pickups alone
>>130871277Check for yourself:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9mqNXPVzGekGuitar wise this is/was a really good deal. Sold
>>130871397whoever bought it from reverb donated it to goodwill and it's at auction now
I started playing guitar last year and I have not practiced tapping my foot at all, is that bad? I have a decent sense of time internally and I practice with a metronome occasionally
>>130869368These positions and fingerings make no sense to me and the format of the piece is weird (the Bb7 sounds out of place to me and I'd rather just have 2 bars of Fm7). So I tried to make a based and redpilled version of this.Page 1 of 4
>>130871922Page 2 of 4
>>130871936Page 3 of 4
>>130871922>i don't like this>here's my versionyou'll learn faster if you stop thinking like this
>>130871943Page 4 of 4
>>130871948Pos. 2 means your index finger is lined up with the 2nd fret, but it also wants you to play the C note on the 3rd fret A string with your pinky finger. It goes beyond "I don't like it" to "it is objectively bad."
>>130871964Sounds like a you problem.
>>130871964>Pos. 2 means your index finger is line up with the 2nd fretincorrect assumptions like this are also going to majorly get in your way, anon
>>130871964this should help
>>130871909Well you're usually meant to tap with your fingers. But more power to you if you found a better way..https://m.youtube.com/shorts/_o1w9v-Mz-8https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vRpvK90HV5E&pp=ygUOZmVldCBndWl0YXJpc3TSBwkJTwsBhyohjO8%3Dhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lGm96vFvmxk&pp=ygUOZmVldCBndWl0YXJpc3Q%3Dhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uACAdc5nrH0
>251 sounds weird so i did 255lmao
let me guess you need more...
>>130872106this masterpiece lies on either end of the bell curve
>>130872106Personally, yes. But that won't stop Katanas from being what I recommend to people still on the journey.
>>130872106I need them to not take the amp models that were already in this thing out
Brothers, if you plan on getting any fancy multi-effects like a Fractal or Helix Or Headrush, you might want to do it sooner rather than later. These puppies are basically computers and that makes me worry about the availability of the memory that goes in these things.
>>130872106I need less.I use an HX Stomp through headphones.
>>130870768It helped me learn i was being manipulated by my ex and helped me get over the split instead of becoming an hero. Seriously though, ex wanted to end shit but we had kids so I kept trying to "save it" for them, she kept telling me to keep trying so I did literally everything she asked. Nothing worked and I felt like a failure. She was trying to get me to bail so she didn't look like she broke a family and could play the poor woman that got left by the asshole. I kept working on it intead of giving up and I put in a ton of effort into myself and she had no reason to hate me. But she resented it more and filed a bullshit restraining order. I got it dropped easily and filed for divorce. The work I did on myself did make me a better person and now I can smell manipulation miles away. I'm in a new relationship with the greatest woman I ever met. 13 years younger than me but more mature than the ex ever was.Thanks for reading my blog post but therapy does help
>>130872279Happy for you. Fuck that bitch.
>>130871215the entire model is flawed. a mental person is not going to listen to the person they need to listen to, nor will they pay that person money. They will however, trust the person that reinforces their mental behavior and enables them the most. That is who their therapist eventually gets widdled down to. Some therapists know this, exploit it, and are super rich. Others don't.
>>130871909I've never tapped my foot before, but I've also played drums for almost 2 decades so my internal metronome is pretty well trained
>>130869881It is not 13x better than a Glarrybad value proposition
>>130872338i buy my weed on the same block as this store
>>130872279you went to therapy for a specific traumatic experience in your life. I think you probably could have figured it out on your own, but you still had a legitimate reason to go. You are not who that post is directed at assuming you went, go better, and stopped after they helped you realize you should stop being a doormat.Most people that advocate for therapy are paying $200/week for a person to pretend to be their friend and listen to them vent about how a customer was rude to them. Society pushes the entire populace to go to therapy for absolutely no reason.
>>130872364holy strawman
>>130872369Did you learn that word in therapy? Because that's not at all a strawman argument.
Just a bit more and I'll learn the whole Somewhere in time on guitar. It'll be my fifth Maiden album I'll be able to play.
>>130872294Thanks>>130872364I still go. It's like $80. But only once a month. But yeah, youre right society pushes it and a lot of therapists are retards that have no idea how to do their job, they just like hearing gossip
Guitar and Bass General
i put electric strings on my acoustic i'm a bad man i'm a problem i am ruthless
>>130872387niceThe Trooper was a big influence in me wanting to learn guitar.
>>130872395There was a crooked man who played a crooked neck...
>>130872384how is insisting that most people go to therapy to complain about petty shit not a strawman. you are constructing a ridiculous, false target to attack
>>130872399Yeah it's a really good song and it's on my favourite Maiden album. Quest for fire is the only one I'm struggling with on it though, being able to consistently play that verse riff is a pain. My right arm is always crying.
>>130872406There once was a man from Nantuckethis dick was so long he could suck ithe said with a grin as he wiped of his chinif my ear were a cunt I'd fuck it.
>>130872358Whenever I drive through the city to go to SeaTac I think about stopping and checking it out but then I remember Seattle is a gay shithole and I keep driving
>>130872453that corner has a music venue and like 4-5 bars with live music, several instrument shops, and girls in bikinis grabbing food before heading to gasworks park. you're missing out with your woke derangement syndrome
>>130872414so you just have no fucking clue what a strawman is. A strawman isn't just>constructing a ridiculous, false target to attackit's>misrepresenting someone's position in an argument to something that's easier for you to attack. Ie:>I think people should go to therapy if they have a manipulative psychotic girlfriend that makes them want to kill themself>You think everyone in a relationship needs to go to therapy? You're a fucking moron!Do you see how the person in this example took the very specific example of>person in a relationship with a manipulative psychopathand refuted it by claiming the first person just said>person in any relationship?That's a strawman. I specifically addressed anon's reason for going to therapy and said that he had a valid reason for going, but many people don't. What part of that is a strawman exactly in your mind? Anyway, guitars.
>>130872473>i can't argue with you because you're right, so i'm going to make up a different scenario where i am rightanon had a valid reason, discussion should be over. but you have to win for some reason
>>130872480>discussion should be over. but you have to win for some reasonironing
>>130872364imagine dating a girl who has a therapist that is a man-hating butch lesbian. all that happened was her accusing me of love bombing when I was nice to her, and being an asshole when I disagreed with her... things her therapist told her. No matter what I said or did I was mr bad guy bc her therapist just torpedoed all her relationships, likely bc she wanted that trim just like I did. It lasted about 2 months and I said "nope, not doing this, bye"
>>130872503>all that happened was her accusing me of love bombing when I was nice to her, and being an asshole when I disagreed with her... things her therapist told her.see>>130871215I'm glad you got away from the cunt and are now with a younger probably way hotter girl that's better for you.
>>130872503Not who you were talking to but this story, minus the lesbian tryin' to hit that, is exactly what happened to me with my last woman. I'd known this woman for 12 years, we had great chemistry leading into things, she gets a therapist because of what her ex husband did, now I'm the bad guy because her therapist convinced her that she's addicted to pain. Alright, there's my story. This series of events just convinced me to play guitar and fuck bar sluts.
i'm sure the posters on 4chan were perfect partners and the therapists were just lying because they work for the illuminati
>>130872601>a modern therapist would never affirm and encourage yasss queen girlboss bullshit that will make women less happy
>>130872601I'm sorry if you're not a good person but everyone here isn't like you.
