So a few days back I managed to gouge out some of my guitar's wood around the neck screw hole when I was tightening the neck screw, and the ferrule cut into some of the wood surrounding it.

Thank God the thread hole is unharmed, and the guitar doesn't seem to be damaged. In fact I think I'm getting a little bit more sustain..

>>61810651
Usually F chords shouldn't be the problem, it might come from your fretting or the way you do barre, personally my fingers tend to bend outwards when forcing on them so sometimes barre sounds like shit.

not really, it's just a weirdo creep guitar. G&L is the fedora version of Fender.

so anon, why do you not economy pick everything yet?

>>61811936
because it's hard to pay super close attention to my picking hand when I just want to do simple pentatonic riffs for acoustic blues

>>61811700
No it's not, G&L is what Fender wishes it was.
Who cares anyway.

>>61811936
Because alternate picking sounds cooler in metal.
And you can highlight the notes you want when picking or just add in a picked note during a series of pull off/hammer on to make it stand out.
Besides I don't like practicing just one thing.

>>61812037
alternate picking sounds exactly the same.
you can highlight notes fine with economy picking
you can use legato if you really want to with economy picking, the nice thing is that you never really have to.

Economy picking is literally a superior form of picking.

>>61811936
Shawn Lane never economy picked and he was the best ever

>>61812037
>metal
I remember when I was 13

>>61812101
>alternate picking sounds exactly the same.
Not if you're angling your pick and using palm mute, which changes a lot the sound it makes.

>you can highlight notes fine with economy picking
It's going to stand out more if you're picking with force.

And how the fuck are you going to tremolo pick if you're sticking with economy picking ?

>>61812155
wew lad almost forgot I had to not have fun

>>61812122
Shawn Lane economy picks all his string skipping licks, what are you talking about m8?

Almost all fast players economy pick in some way, the ones that don't usually aren't that great.

>>61812183
angling your pick has nothing to do with economy picking, economy picking is simply playing a lick as effecient as possible in terms of movement. It's literally a superior way of playing.

>>61812223
And economy picking involves using pull offs/hammer ons to get rid of the picking movement, which in the case of rythmic playing may sound worse.
I'm not saying economy picking is shit, I'm just saying that in some cases, picking everything will sound better.

Hey faggots you don't have to choose one or the other. Patricians will use alternate, economy and hybrid

>>61812333
That's what I've been trying to make him understand.
Based Dave Davidson from Revocation even uses chicken picking even though he's playing metal, you can use pretty much every technique everywhere if you do it right.

Ok. He says it's mint condition but I still have to check for myself

>>61812599

>>61812599
Buy a big amp and you'll be gigging as soon as you can hold a root note. SR basses are surprisingly good value, at 200$ it seems like a steal.

>>61812995
That's swamp ash, I don't know why but Ibanez seems to use a lot less basswood on their basses compared to their guitars.

>>61813355
>>61812599
I just re-read the whole thing and noticed it is just an SR and not an SR600. It could be good if it is not a GSR, those are more or less hit or miss, with a proper setup they can be acceptable to learn on.

Varg's maybe shit technically, but I agree, he has some really nice ideas when playing guitar, like in Sverddans where he plays on the second minor/major while letting two strings ring. He should do more guitar centric albums, not necessarily black metal.

Hey guise,

I am getting pic related for my birthday. At the same time, I have been wanting a guitar equipped with a Floyd Rose tremolo for ever.
I am thinking of buying this guitar and ordering a Floyd Rose system and letting it be assembled on the guitar. I suppose some guitar tech has to saw through the body to make place for the tremolo and so on, do you think that it is possible?

Do guitar shops take these kinds of requests?

yes, a luthier is going to have to route through the body and then install the floyd rose

it's expensive. i'd say minimum of $300, possibly more.

>>61815724
300$'s more or less the price of a real floyd rose

>>61815744
i don't know how much a floyd rose itself costs, i'm just talking about the amount a luthier will charge to do the work, so add on the price of a floyd rose on top of what he'll charge for his time spent routing the body and installing it

it's seriously not worth it.

he's playing arpeggios then descending with all the scale tones on to the next scale tone from where he started

he starts on A, the first one sounds like a dominant 7 arpeggio (which isn't in the key of Amaj, so he's wrong), then he plays all the scale tones descending down to the B, and then plays another arpeggio start on the B, descends on all the scale tones down to the C#, and it keeps going like that

if you want to do stuff like that you can just make your own. play an A major arpeggio starting at the 5th fret, end on the first octave, descend down to the B and then play a B min arpeggio up until the first octave, then descend with all the scale tones down to the C#, then play a C#minor arpeggio, etc. basically you're just following a chord scale by playing their arpeggios and scales and then switching to the next chord in the chord scale, while staying in the same position.

that stuff is good so you can get your fingers used to switching scales in one position instead of flying all around the next

I've listened to him before and it's crap. Maybe you can show me something good from him, although I highly doubt it

Hey /gg/,

moved from guitar to bass. I'm still kind of lost on how to create a tone that works well with the band. We're playing some stoner right now and I'd like to get a similar sound that Red Fang has: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0mq3F4Dn6I

I've got an Ibanez SR500 bass with active EQ, Bass Terror 500 Hybrid amp paired with Peavey 410TX, Joyo OCD clone and a Big Muff.

I know Red Fang uses full tube Sunn amps and P-basses, but I think with the Orange I can pretty close. Any advice on what kind of EQ I should go for with the amp and the bass? The amps EQ is mid cut and treble/bass boost only.

>>61817452
You've got to learn how to fill the other frequencies in order to get the huge stoner sound. Add in some really subtle distortion, and then play with the knobs on both your bass and your amp while your guitarist plays so you can see how your changes affect the overall sound. It might be interesting getting a 1x15 too to give more of an air-pushing feeling live.

For me it's part of the appeal, they feel unique because of the raw nature of the wood. Creston guitars does similar stuff. Some of those might give you a heart attack lol

>>61810651
you're guitar needs a setup
It needs to be intonated and have the action set
If the action is too high even if the fore/aft saddle position is set correctly, pressing down on the string to fret them will cause it to be out of tune

Hey people I tried googling this but couldn't find anything on this,
I have a 4x10 tube amp which sounds good clean on the quieter volumes, but if I take the volume up to 5-6 the clean signal becomes a little distorted?
How can I play loud but with a clean signal, no distortion?

>>61819646
Turn the gain down.

>>61819646
tube are an analog way to ampilfy your sound. That being said when they get push to hard they break up. Think of it as shouting in a mic, apart from being very loud, your voice will totally distort. Thats what your amp is doing.

if you have clean volume and master volume you can see if theres a combination where together they give enough volume, but dont break up. Sometimes a certain gain stage will break up sooner.

Otherwize your tubes could be getting old and broken, maybe changing them. Or maybe your amp is broken. Its usually not a problem some amateur like me can solve from behind my pc.

what wattage is it btw and is it old? are there two stages? do you know if both stages use tubes?

They're ok, the electromatic models feel kind of cheap to me but that's about as good as you're going to get in that price range.

Wouldn't be my choice for jazz either, unless you want it to sound a bit twangy (Chet Atkins-ish) Bigsby's aren't really common in guitars that are optimized for jazz. Ibanez makes a model like that too, AF75t, but it's not too great.

If I were you I would skip the bigsby and get an Ibanez AFJ95. Feels more solid and the electronics are great for jazz.

Should your thumb always be at the same level on the neck as your fingers when fretting?

>>61813355
>I don't know why but Ibanez seems to use a lot less basswood on their basses compared to their guitars.
Probably balance.
The long neck of the bass is a long lever, making the weight of the headstock exaggerated. To keep the balance point of the instrument where they want it to be, the body needs to be a little heavier than it would be for a guitar.
With the shorter neck of the guitar and the weight of the locking trems in the bodies, they can make the body lighter and still keep that proper balance.

How do you get a guitar to sound like the one that starts at 0:35 in this song?

Because taste and placement. A lot of shredders put a zillion notes where a few following the melody would work better.

There's also songwriting. Piano players are generally working off of standards (either classical or pop) where the chops are actually required for the piece to sound good. Shredders in the pop realm don't have that luxury-they generally have to make the most of songs that are NOT standards and may in fact be awful.

It's an ESP, not something good like a Gibson.

Start by writing something. It'll be derivative shit, but such are everyone's first efforts. Don't let that stop you and keep writing. After a number of songs, you'll start finding your voice and they will start to be less shit. After a bunch more, you'll start writing songs that sound pretty good and make you happy.

Anyone know some good songs in Open G Minor tuning? I've been playing this song forever since it has the catchiest melody I've ever heard, but I cant write for shit in this tuning and I need some more songs to learn from

It's a beginner guitar, but it'll work for now.
It's good enough to get you playing, and you won't have to worry about residual value should you wreck it or beat it to hell in the process of learning to play.

Later if you feel that it's holding you back from getting better, you can upgrade to a midrange or premium level guitar.

I play a $130 Jackson and I've played for 8 years active now, 10 since the beginning though. It works really well, the secret to a good guitar is knowing your basic 101 luthier adjustments. Bridge heights, neck relief, truss rod adjustment, nut height/slot depth. A nice straight, low as possible action with minimal buzzing CAN be achieved on a shitty guitar.

First off, don't try to chase his gear right now. You're just starting, you've got what you've got, and honestly it's good enough to get you playing right now. What will get you sounding like him more than anything is the playing style, so work on your technique, being on rhythm and staying on time.

As for EQ, a common mistake beginners make is to turn the bass knob WAY up thinking it makes them sound huge. It doesn't-instead, it makes them sound muddy and indistinct, and swallows up all your amp's wattage trying to amplify the super low frequencies that will never get loud enough to cut through anyway.

A far better strategy is to cut the lows slightly, turn the mids up to get the main part of your sound, and add in enough highs to give you some articulation.

Thinking of getting some sort of foot percussion to add to my strumming. Any suggestions?

Pull a John Lee Hooker.
Get a couple of bricks and a sheet of plywood and tap your heel on the plywood while you're playing.

Those adjustable saddles on 70s Gibosons are real tone suckers.

That's because Gibosons are Chinese knockoffs.

I don't have one, but I'd love a gold top and really like this SE 24. Naturally, it's $300+ more than the average SE 24 price.

>>61825041
you think so?
also it's from 1967

Those goldtops are very nice. I saw them at Guitar Center.
