seriously thinking of buying an electric tenor guitar

In which situation can I use a 7th/maj7 instead of a regular chord, in a progression?

What's the difference between a 24 fret and a 22 fret at 25.5" scale length? All I know is on the 22 fret, the frets are bigger and more spaced out.

>>62017616
Whenever you want.

>>62017528
I guess people were saying the newer ones from Fender could be muddy because they're essentially Gibson-style humbuckers with 250K pots. As for real ones and copies, they're supposedly warm but with more clarity than Gibson-style humbuckers. In the end, it's all subjective, really.

>>62017639
>All I know is on the 22 fret, the frets are bigger and more spaced out.
That's about it. Also the neck pickup will be closer to the neck, which'll affect the sound

>>62017337
I really like them, they're a lot closer to single coils than humbuckers in tone. Yeah, some copies are just humbuckers with a silly cover but others actually only have the pole pieces where they're shown. Kinda like a p-bass but the coils extend into air coils usually. Just don't get one if you want a humbucker, there's not much in common.

I agree that a zero fret changes the tone of those notes, I don't think there's much up for debate there, but I think as long as a bridge doesn't have serious flex to it, more likely the vibrations are going to transfer too well to the rest of the body for it to make a difference. The vibrations are going to deaden faster the lighter the instrument is. I've always thought the only considerations in tone for a fretted note are the string gauge, length, pickup placement, pickups, and weight of the instrument. Obviously only for electric.

the lighter the instrument is the more resonant it is (to a certain extent obviously, we're not talking about a 100mm wide body). Many small instruments I've heard actually sound "big", thanks to their pickups and hardware.

They generally let the Custom Shop guys each do a crazy, out-there design in the way that concept cars that never see the road are shown at auto shows.

I think ESP or Ibanez or something did it this year, too. The Anderton's NAMM videos showed some in addition to the Fenders. I just don't remember which one.

>>62017616
generally speaking, any time you could use a major chord you can get away with a major 7th. For example, in any major key the I, IV, V chords are major (so in C, for example, C, F and G). You can get away with a major 7th on any of these. In a minor key it'd be III, VI, and VII (C, F, and G again in Am, the relative minor of Cmaj). Dominanth 7th chords are a little trickier. Rule of thumb is to only use them if you're about to resolve the progression, so on chords that have strong tendencies to move towards I. V is the chord most commonly made a dominant 7th, in my experience. Sometimes you'll see a VII or ii made a dom7. Listen to/look at jazz songs. There's 7ths fucking everywhere. You'll figure it out pretty quick.

I posted this in a different thread but if there are any Elliott Smith fans in here who would like to tell me what they think of this that would be cool.

There's an IC in the Infinium models that works with I'm assuming cathode voltages while relaying adjustments to individual bias voltages to the four power tubes. It's not technically a computer, but close enough imo.

I've seen similar convoluted biasing in H&K Tubemeisters, Ampeg SVT Classics, and Blackstar HTs. I'm not a fan.

These things are there to dumb tube changing down and keep people out of the amps. They make troubleshooting a lot more difficult for us tech types though. I'll have to trace the power amp board.

I don't know about f "series". Considering an F-150 is a totally excessively powerful vehicle that is primarily bought by those who don't need it, whereas a telecaster has nearly the minimum features you can put in an electric guitar and is practical for anybody.

Not that guy, but I'll answer anyways:
That's only because trucks have grown a lot. Back in the day a F-150 wasn't luxurious and it was a half ton truck in the literal sense. And even the most basic of Toyotas have luxuries nowadays. Besides, the Ford is American like the Telecaster.

>>62023608

I was more thinking Toyota small pickups cuz you see a lot more of the old ones kicking around than American pickups. They seem to have survived longer. Yeah a tele isn't exactly a new car with satellite radio. It doesn't even have contours.

>What about some chevy?

that could work too, ford is just the first pickup that popped into my mind though

>>62023753
Do you live away from the US by any chance? Pretty sure most US Toyotas rusted out, but maybe I'm wrong (I'm not American). Here in my country Toyotas are way more common than American trucks.

BTW I'm trying to figure out where the Les Paul fits. At first I thought corvette (middle age crisis and stuff like that) but the corvette is affordable.

The P-bass is the Honda civic of basses. It doesn't have standout looks or performance but it's cheap to repair and lasts a lifetime. You can find anyone from a no name band/poorfag to a world touring group/CEO driving one.

i'm at a loss of what car is the equivalent to a strat

it would have to be extremely versatile, has been around for a long time, and has to be one of the most sold models in history

i don't know what fits that. toyota corolla fits the 'most sold' and is pretty versatile, but idk, doesn't feel like it fits.

mustang came out in '64

that's right around the time where there's a pretty clear divide between what i'd consider 'oldie' 50s music like eddie cochran rockabilly stuff and 'classic rock' like the beatles and the stones

>>62025030
I thought you meant stuff like Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley when you said classic rock.
The Beatles and the Stones are the kind of rock that wasn't played with telecasters for the most part. Hollow bodies, teles, etc.

What would a 4003 be that's not totally demeaning? I'm thinking something that should be total crap by design but still loved for looks and comfort.

>>62025073
If I was getting a P90 and money wasn't an issue, I'd get a Les Paul Standard Goldtop. From at least a few years ago.

I remember when I used to have a ton of pedals, then I came to realize how much that takes away from your playing. If I were playing guitar, I'd go with just a drive, fuzz, and a delay and let my instrument and amp choice determine more of my playing

Songsterr is a good site to start learning songs you like, just find some stuff under the easy section and just learn stuff you like from there. Also start fingerstyle and then learn to use a pick once you've gotten comfortable with your fingers just to have both skills down and then learn thumb playing or slap if that interest you from there
>>62027607
Those inlays and binding on the neck are awesome
>>62028508
Yeah, Prosteels 45-105, sound great and hold their tone very very long, much better than most brands I've tried for my sound
>>62029017
T40s are pretty cool basses
>>62029268
Those basses are sexy as fuck
>>62029308
If you're just bedroom playing, you won't notice much difference in the tone of those two brands yet desu but if you really want to go inbetween, than go for a higher end Squier like the Classic Vibe ones or somethin, but I'd say a regular Squier would be a fine starter guitar

I like the jag but that ukulele is hideous. Kudos to you for being willing to draw on your guitar BTW.

neat
that's a good pickup configuration. I guess even Leo knew the tele neck was crap.

>>62030304
honestly it's slightly less hideous in person, the lighting made it look a bit dark

the guitar I drew on was $120 so I wasn't too hesitant about it. Didn't realize how fast sharpie would wear out.

>>62030352
god I could look at that guitar all day. The color + soapbar is perfect.

I kinda like it. Better with a trem, though.

>>62030804
I dislike trems. Sometimes I think I'm the only one. But really not a ton of music uses them, and tuning is a pain.

why not

>>62031983
Why would you do that?

Could've bought like, two or three really nice bass guitars with that money.

>>62031995
you know them modders. Most people who already know how to level frets and change pickups aren't gonna buy another brand after having an sx. They have pretty comfortable necks.

Sheet music is fucking terrible, holy fuck why do I have to learn this bullshit!

>>62032140
You don't, but it is worth persevering with.

I far and away prefer dots to tabs.

>>62032172
How long did it take you for it to "click" finally? I feel pretty damn stupid at this point, it just won't work with me.

>>62026619
I love the big fender headstock's. The Paul on the other hand is pretty ugly. Plays great but that natural wood finish just reminds me of my grand parents house. Wood paneling everywhere.

>>62032240
I've been reading more or less forever, so I can't remember exactly.

With my own students, I start reading from the beginning, so learning dots ties in with learning the instrument.
