>>130891631LTD single cut is JUST as good as a Les Paul
I can’t get past 120 bpm on the metronome
>>130906924What are you trying to play?
>>130906864>EMGDisgusting
>>130906955Scales at 16th notes using CAGED
>>130906924same and I am just trying to do finger exercises not even scales. trying to get my pinky into it have played years on and off and never used my pinky if it wasnt for chords lol
>>130907241Time for some paul gilbert videos. It will be sorted in no time.
>>130907039I think you are wasting your time to be honest. You should put on a chordal vamp on YouTube and work on playing in time with the track
i want to get the hils hzb5 bass
>>130907314Ok I will ditch the scales and arpeggios
>>130906864HSS configs are fucking stupid mental illness and I can prove it>Rhythm pupRhythm playing, generally more bass needed, good and balanced frequency response required>Bridge pupBright, snappy, aggressive when overwoundConsidering this, why the fuck would you ever want a low-impedence, bright and mid-high focused pup on the rhythm position?Conversely, why not just use an overwound single for the bridge?By this logic, the perfect guitar would be a reg-tele-bridge single'd fender deluxe with a wide-range in the neck so you don't lose on the tone.Fight me, u know u can't.
>>130906864>be me at 19yo>in town for 2 days on tour>pay local shop to install emg set in my guitar because everyone raves about them>they don't install them in time for the show the following day>borrow a guitar that is equipped with emgs >hate it>get my guitar back >play it at next show>hate it>reinstall stock pups once back home>everything is once again responsive to my pick attack and vibratothey are certainly for someone, just not me.
>>130907525Installing pickups because people rave about them instead of because you like the way they sound is your first problem here.
>>130907300realized my pinky was so fucked after trying to play rory gallagher songs. Used to only do other blues songs and I swear eric clapton and freddie king just don't have pinkies because it is so easy to play all their stuff with only 3 fingers unless there are chords. Rory gallagher solos and riffs just require the pinky and made me realize my pinky is fucked beyond belief. started exercises from the scotty west understand guitar series haha
>>130907570It was 18 years ago, guitars with emgs weren't hanging on every wall of every music store. It also had little to do with how they sounded and everything to do with their responsiveness. 0 or 100, nothing in between.
My ESP has EMGs. I always get the two confused
>>130907459Thats not what I mean. I mean practicing scale runs to a metronome isn't very musical. What you practice is what you play when writing and improving. If you are practicing perfectly on beat scale runs, you wont develop swing or good time feel and your licks will sound sequential and boring
>>130907005people don't like EMGs anymore? i thought they were a staple?
>>130907516Humbucker sounds best for metal. Single coil sounds most serene and beautiful for clean tones. Neck position for cleans, bridge for grit. Everyone isnt wrong, you are.
>You can just play minor pentatonics and bend the third note to play over major chordsHoly shit this sounds so cool
I've noticed that finger strumming doesn't really ring out all the notes like a pick does, is using your finger really only useful for fingerpicking for a softer sound?
>>130907640Fishman Fluence took over the market, but a good ol EMG 81 is still god tier.
>>130907635Not that guy but just running up and down scales like that feels therapeutic to me. Like I can just relax and shut my mind off and enjoy the timbre of the instrument.
>>130907825Ok
>>130907682That only works for major chords that would be a dominant chord if you extended the harmony. Incidentally, people often act like there's some kind of mystical non-theoretical reason why mixing major and minor pentatonics over dominant chords sounds good, but really what you're doing is you're not playing the b3 when you play minor pentatonic over a dominant tonality: you're playing the #9. That's my take on it, anyway, and maybe some would disagree.
>>130907856Alright.
Why would I ever use full chords in a mix if I have a bass guitar, drums etc
>>130907602Ah yeah, that's fair. Funny enough, I had a bc rich with emg pups in it around that time. Ended up selling it to get an lp because I couldn't get along with a floyd at my young age. I miss it now cause I'm a sentimental cunt and it was a good guitar. I do prefer passive pups though, had an emg guitar for a bit recently and wasn't too impressed with the tone. Ended up returning it cause it had a bunch of qc issues though.
>>130907748nice
What's the best way to play guitar on android? I have my focusrite plugged into my phone and I downloaded bandlab and I can hear it but I can't add any effects or anything. I'm trying to wrap my head around this shit but nothing works.
What kind of music do you play live? What was your first live experience like?
>>130908269>What was your first live experience like?i was in a really shitty shitty band in high school and the lead singer had a friend that i guess he wanted to impress so he convinced us to play her favorite song for her and her friends on her birthday. we were absolute ass, it was a disaster and the dude broke my glasses that day too.as far as i know everyone just gave up on playing in bands and just plays and makes music for the sake of it at home.
>>130907885Sometimes I quarter-bend the 3 over both major and minor chords.
>>130908462b3
>>130908462b2
>>130908598b2 isn't a blue note.
It’s the faggot LP. Where are the furry’s? Couldn’t find enough in a uniform enough style sue me.https://imgur.com/a/X7v6ZH4
>>130907602>It was 18 years ago>>130907976>I had a bc rich with emg pups in it around that timeunc thread got me thinking about my gramps dentures in a glass of water beside the bed lol. old ass niggas
Writing a song wouldn't feel so daunting if mixing didn't account for like 50% of the songs tone
>>130906864That's a charvel desolation
>>130907748Boogie niggas is real
>>130909047*are
>>130908685What color is it then jazz?
>>130908407>the bad ending:(
>>130909126>everyone in /gg/'s ending;__;
>>130908941Hey I'm only 31. I do feel kinda old though, I had that bc rich more than half my life ago. Wish I could go back to that time and tell my kid ass to just go balls deep into guitar and not waste time on anything else desu.
>>130909099brown
>>130909169If u were good you would have been balls deep in some hoes we all make mistake.
>>130909169>only 31How do you do fellow kids
>>130908269Jazz, atmospheric-psych-rock, but mainly dbeat hardcore because fun. >first live experience I started playing at church in youth group so in hindsight it could have been a lot worse. Everyone else was an adult who could play their instrument well, and I was just a kid with a bass in the background.
>>130908941>old ass niggasStill playing shows and touring though. Start doing so while you're young if you have any aspirations of doing it when you're older.
>>130907752this is because you have baby girl fingers and are too scared to pluck as hard as you pick my finger picking is just as loud as when I use a plectrum
what genres are unc approved?
>>130909182I spent too much time being an antisocial retard to get hoes. But I'm getting good at guitar. I still need to get over my laziness and vices and put all my spare time into guitar but I'm getting there and when I do, I'll be making something with it I just know it. >>130909326Hey 31 is still young. Ish.

I played guitar in high school ~15 years ago and remember videos from this old wrinkly faggot with a wirey mop on his headjust picked up guitar again 2 months ago and see the old wrinkly faggot is still making the same awful trash videos Is he just Scotty Kilmer of the guitar world? A retarded boomer cockroach that refuses to die?
>>130909401>Still playing shows and touring thoughkek>it was real in my mind
>check out my imrpov!>totally original!>literally just mashing scales in ascending and descending order or stealing licks>le original improv right?
>>130909581Weird projection. Just start a band bro. >>130909537He's right, you stop caring about genres eventually and just like music in general.
>>130909598>Weird projectionyou're in a touring band just like our tranny janny is a woman
>>130909620>encouraged to start a band>mind instantly goes to trannies insteadLol
Did I just find Sam alive and well on Reddit, or is this just some other third-world shitskin fucks domestic cats?
>>130906924practice your alt picking chops at a slower tempo and gradually raise the metronome.
>>130909661>i'm a 40yo who tours nationally and i spend my evenings in a dead general on 4chan replying to 3rd worlderslmao, right. the sad part is you probably genuinely have no idea how ridiculous you sound. i'd tell you to look at this pic and tell everyone how many of the circles you fall into but i doubt you have the self-awareness to actually know
hardtail or mastery offset vibrato? a local builder has both options and im talking to him about a trade and I cant decide between hardtail or vibrato.
>>130909697Kek. Just stay in your bedroom anon, its clearly where you belong, I agree with you on that.
>>130909714>an anon on 4chan mocked his delusional fantasies>immediately starts seething in responselol it's just too perfect
>>130909665Go back.
>>130909753I legitimately hope things get better for you man. Truly.
>>130909661that is pretty uncanny ain't it
>>130909759I will as Reddit still has camwhores whereas 4chan is a few incels still clinging on to the past. I only started using this shithole for porn back in 2007 or so, it's dead now. Anyway, is that Sam fuckface?
>>130909792
>>130909792Figure it out yourself, dumbass.
>>130909798Background different to his latest YouTube video but also clearly a similar hovel. Skin tone, stature and hair probably about right. I can't remember if he had a black classical guitar or not but even in the third world you could probably find that piece of shit in a skip. Guitar skills mediocre. Profile is hidden so just this video as a point of reference. I'm going with a 60% Sam sighting chance.
if i had a time machine i'd tell him not to get on that bike
>>130909783passive aggressive seething is still seething fyi, as cringe as you already were somehow you've managed to make yourself even more pathetic lmao
77 posts in no vocasreally makes you think
>>130909845The vocas only make it worse desu senpai
>>130909864they are a refreshing palette cleanser between walls of schizo babble and sexually confused seething.
>>130909875*palateIDK How to spell dude fuck you know what I meant
>>130909875>terrible off-beat/out of tune amateur guitar playing somehow contrasts the substance and character of the posts in /gg/I'm respectfully going to disagree
sirs i'm trying to read english without using google translate please slow posting down so i keep up
>>130909919You don't like guitar then, for me I'm so jaded from brilliant players and polished sounds that the grungy honest sounds in the vocaroos are quite refreshing. Aligned to a click or mixed down and you might as well just be AI, you sound like AI if you do everything right so why bother? AI cannot touch the sound of a bedroom guitarist. All the best guitar music came before they started aligning everything to a click, because human beings aren't robots.
>>130909933buddy wait like 7 more hours and I'll start my spam I got shit to do
>>130909950pls don't
>>130909933Bad guitar playing is still bad. It's like cutting the moldy bits off of a piece of stale bread and serving it, there's no way you'll be able to convince me or anyone else that it's good to eat. And much like the moldy piece of stale bread it'll sit on the table uneaten, just like most of the vocas posted don't get opened or listened to. I've come to the conclusion that's essentially all /gg/ has to offer and as a result there aren't very many posters coming through anymore so all that's left is shitposting. That's why I say the vocas make the thread worse overall
>>130909933>>130910026you ok bro?
>>130910026Uhm, sweaty I open and listen to every voca and if its not ear rape I listen to the whole thing. If it was commercial quality it would be on something besides vocaroo no? Something where they could get credit? Its like digging through a dumpster expecting a warm meal, I expect the moldy bread, I crave the moldy bread, I've eaten nothing but a lifetime of lobster and filet mingon and theres an infinite amount of it just waiting on Youtube, meanwhile the moldy bread is scarce, only available from this dumpster (/gg/)
>>130910074incredibly based and hobopilled
I have never lived anywhere in all of my 27 years other than the Californian suburb I was born in, but I love pretending I’m either Indian or Brazilian on 4chan to push the thirdie narrative. I love playing along and shitposting to help manifest reality.
>>130909950Don't go into town.
Vocaroos I enjoy.BBA jams, hes consistent, you always know what to expect and he's nice enough to let you know who he is before hand.Neil Jams, his soothing voice serenades my soul.Craig, this man can jam for 19 minutes without repeating a single bar.Mountain, when he used to post, was quite musically keen, you had to have a certain understanding to appreciate the angle he was coming from but if you had the understanding he was incredibly gifted in his own way.Vocaspammer sometimes, really depends on if he's putting in effort or just manic shit posting, his playing is the most inconsistent.
didn't ask
>>130910111i'm glad i don't care enough about this shit general to know what you're taking about
>>1309101312008 called they want their apathy back
>>130910074>listening to /gg/ vocas is comparable to eating garbage I was mistaken, we're in complete agreement. Forgive me

SSS but the bridge is a tele. Why didn't Leo think of that.
evh 5150 iii sounds so damn nicei've never owned an amp that sounded like that. i can't wait to get one you guys.
>>130910291uh oh here come fender gonna sue u
>>130909841>>130909841Youre the faggot in this whole exchange here. Just going to point that out
they need a pedal for how i make every guitar sound naturallywe are not the samehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UaC7YCTtJw
Do y'all ever write a song with time signature/tempo in mind or do you just wing it? I feel like it would be easier write one if you knew what each bar was going to look like
>>130909933Same here desu. Guitar culture on the internet is so fucking fake.Even among pro musicians, only the very top of them share authenthic performances instead of overedited miming. Listening to some genuine guitar playing here, whether it's good or bad, is pretty fun.
floating trem = floating tone
Stop the madness. Stop the lying.Play a Gibson.
>>130910832Okay
>be you>walking down the street>old man pulls up beside you and says if you have sex with him he will buy you any guitar you want afterWhich guitar are you choosing?
>>130910832i don't like the necks and i don't like the way they rest on my knee i only play sitting and i like having all my strings on the same side of the headstock and im too poor
I got a fever...and the only prescription ismore vocaroo
