yes only open chords matter because I'm not going to record or perform on stage with a 100euro guitar dipshit, I barely even play it and on the occassion I do I'm outside and no one is going to complain about to lack luster tone
you should change your mindset buddy, someone might actually like you

Your logic makes no sense, your arguments are speculative at best and misinformed at worst. Aside from that you're just another manbabby having a temper tantrum. Lol@u

>im not performing on stage
I hope not, with guitars like that I bet you make horrible music(assuming you do more than just learn other people's songs).

Stay mad, bitch boy.

>>72408626

then why buy it at all?

Hello /gg/ I've recently been feeling the urge to buy a guitar and just play. I don't want to become some famous musician or anything, I just want to be able to make some music. I'm 19 years old with no prior guitar experience and I wanted to ask how old you were when you first started playing and ask for any beginner tips? Also, how long until you considered yourself rather decent? Thank you.

>>72409377
>i don't want to become famous
Good, you're already at a higher level than most guitarists.

Sold the gibbo to purchase the florentine and a fender superchamp x2 - well worth it. I now swear by semi hollow body guitars, just prefer the sound they make.

Not my cup of tea but I heard pretty good things about it, kinda depends on what you play though.

I got like a 100-150 bucks to spend should I cop a keyboard or a bass? I only play guitar right now

>>72409377
>I wanted to ask how old you were when you first started playing
Started when I was 10, about 10 years ago.

Started at 15, been playing 4 years now, I'm okay atm, I just finished learning the solo to stairway to heaven which is probably the most complex thing I can play, I can do generic fast riffs aswell like Layla and sweet home Alabama.

>>72411149
i started at 15 and the stairway to heavn solo is easy for me
thanks for showing me i'm not that much behind

>>72409377
Started at 13, been playing 14 year.

I'm great...at what I'm good at. I'm sub par at a lot of things. I'll be decent... never.

>>72411175
Yeah, to be honest it took me a few weeks practice to get the rhythm of the fast part down but now I have it I'm hopeful some more of the solo's will become a bit easier to play now I know how to go about it, I'd like to be able to play tornado of souls in another few years but I'll have to see about it..

>>72411198
Pls list these things youre good at and what youre not good.

>>72409377
Don't be that faggot who trys to learn his first "hard" solo within your first year, it'll sound shit and sloppy and those people tend to be so oblivious to their bad playing, just keep it simple, learn open chords, power chords, barre chords and practice pentatonics, in the words of Kieth Richard "you got to build the rocket before you go to space".

If you're selling or trading used gear to a store then you will lose a lot of money. The store has to make a profit, pay the rent and pay salaries. Don't expect to get half what you paid for it, if they'll even take it at all.

Difficult to say, Eurorack modules on their own don't usually make a noise. It's when you combine them together in clever ways they start to generate noises. The Pittsburgh stuff is excellent though, I've got three Pittsburgh Synth Boxes in the modular. Those are a great first step in modular as they have a multiwave oscillator, LFO, ADSR, VCA and a really good filter all in one small box.

need help, thought this was an appropriate place to post

I play bass with my school's jazz band, but I play guitar as well. Next year there is going to be another bassist, but there won't be a guitarist. Should I keep playing bass and have to take turns every song, or switch to guitar and never be heard beneath the horns?

>>72415272
We don't actually play instruments here, and most people think jazz is the same as elevator music. Sorry comrade.

Pittsburgh Patch Box will hold 42HP of modules, I'd get a Pittsburgh Synth Box (28HP wide), some kind of small sequencer and maybe a second oscillator. If you want a really cheap way to get into Eurorack then look at building Frequency Central kits. I've got two of their System X oscillators, two filters, a VCA, phaser and a mult. Plus I built two new cases using their power supply boards.

Man, I didn't know how lucky I am for not having modular synths as a hobby. But I do think it's cool, at the same time. What do you use for patch cables?

>>72415272
Electric guitar was basically invented for jazz, just turn your amp up loud and use your dynamics well.

>>72415157

>>72415162
>>72415305
I'm not even trying to meme on you but everyone I've ever seen with one of these just wastes time patching modules together and making bleep bloob garbage noise instead of music.

I would have been jealous of your rig 10 years ago when I first got into synthesis but not today. Modular synths are a colossal wastes of time the way they're usually used.

Yeah, lots of people use them to make shitty idiotic bleepy bloop noises. I've got something like eight channels of MIDI to control voltage so I can trigger the sounds from Cubase. When you actually use a modular as a musical instrument you get a synth that sounds incredibly powerful and with really fine control of the sound. Only dickheads pour money into modulars just to make boingy clang noises.

What is there to do after you've mastered your instrument? I haven't been able to find any musicians who are as talented or creative as I am. I know my music is more advanced than most people are ready for. I think I'm just going to record an album by myself and then release it in 10 years. Maybe then non mainstream lovers of music will be ready for my compositions.

>>72415162
Thanks man, I'm primarily interested in using it only as an effects box for my guitar to pass through, aren't the oscillators sound sources themselves or do they work sort of like oscillating fuzzes where the oscillator effects the guitar signal (totally new to this so I probably sound like a dumb shit)

I was looking at a 4ms atoner and a Metasonix Filter to start out with. A sequencer sounds awesome too.

I don't have a problem with modular synths, they're just a tool. My problem is that the people who are usually using them are retards, they're fascinated with building sounds instead of making music. It ends up just being an expensive hipster toy.

I have a Moog Voyager myself along with an MS2000B. Once I saw where the modular thing was taking enthusiasts around 2008-9 I pulled back from expanding the Voyager because I didn't want to fall into that same trap.

>>72415589
To be honest, if I'd bought the Prophet 08 first then I'd never have built the modular. digitally-controlled analog polysynth is a more useful instrument. But the modular just sounds so incredibly good, a few minutes patching leads you into sounds that you can't get out of a normalized synth. And you'll know yourself how the MS2000 compared to a real analog.

Yeah, sometimes I stack the MS2000 and the Voyager together. I get polyphony from the MS and the low end mono from the Voyager. Honestly, that's as far as I want to go down that road for fear of losing time on bullshit trial and error "experimenting".

I looked into the Prophet a few years ago and it seems like the VCO was digital or some shit? regardless I lost interest and never looked back.

All of you have it wrong though, you don't need to. We're all here on this planet together working towards the same goals, it is not a competition like you have come to fool yourselves into believing.

>>72415723
Prophet 08 has digitally-controlled analog oscillators. same as the Voyager. Some people take this to mean "digital oscillators" but that's really not the case. The core is analog, with the switching frequency of the transistor that controls the triangle core determined by a digital clock. That's how DCO synths have worked since the JUNO, Yanaha CS80, Sequential Prophet and countless others and it's the only way to keep them in perfect tuning. That's another drawback to the modular, that's true voltage controlled oscillators rather than DCO so it can drift as it warms up and the scaling sometimes isn't good across more than two octaves. but the Prophet 08 is very much an analog synth. I think the Prophet 12 uses digital oscillators, that's not a road I want to go down.

Going through these old Hawaiian guitar method books from the '30s, it's obvious they all use open A tuning. It's certainly a departure from C6 but possibly a bit more intuitive, especially when trying to read written notes rather than tabs. Getting more used to it.

I used to host an open jam night at a bar in my city. I don't think those events attract a whole lot of weirdos, and the stuff I would play with the rest of the house band would range from '90s alt. rock to blues to jazz. Anyone who wants to take the time to pack up an instrument, haul it around, and play music probably is probably an okay person.

Here's the deal if you're unsure of what you might be getting into: ask the person for some contact info, like a phone number, and make sure you get at least one or two links to their social media. Most people at least have a Facebook, and most musicians actively use YouTube to promote themselves/develop a fanbase. Also, probably not a great idea to meet someone you've never met before at their house unless you're meeting with a full band that uses it as their practice space; pick a public space to meet up beforehand, like a coffeeshop to hang out in and get to know each other and your respective musical tastes. If that's not possible, bring a friend with you to wherever you decide to hang/jam out.

Be safe, have fun.

is fucking around on guitar until you find what works the best way to learn? i used to try and force myself to do exercises and stuff to practice, but found that it only helped me to memorize those exercises with no effect on my actual progress as a musician. i dropped all of that after about a month and began focusing on writing and playing my own riffs/passages and trying to find my own "voice"(gay) as a musician and i think it's been the best way for me to learn the instrument. has anyone else had similar results?

>>72419927
>is fucking around on guitar until you find what works the best way to learn?
Absolutely, objectively, no

>>72419927
Whatever gets you making progress is the right way for you to learn. Many people who obsessively practice scales and fingering exercises have zero idea of how to write a song, they just get better at scales and fingering exercises then disappear up their own anuses in a puff of overly technical smoke.

tl;dr - if you're writing songs then you're being creative rather than learning to wank the guitar off

I actually posted asking about the same thing yesterday (different guitar, same site).

My thing is I want something to be the basis of a project while also being something I can dink around with while gradually upgrading with better parts. An incentive for me to go chink is how hard it is to find a yellow Strat body with the bridge holes drilled. If Guitar Fetish sold their bodies pre-drilled for a trem I'd just get one of those.

So in my case it makes sense. In your case it may or may not.

Honestly though, for a Tele I'd rather throw my own together. It's not hard or particularly expensive and frankly that relic looks like total ass.

I started at 11. I'm 28 now. The one thing I wish I could have have prevented when I started was learning what drop running were. It really hindered my progress because I developed a dependency on bars and developed lackluster bending and vibrato techniques from such a dumbed-down way of playing.

no matter what if after 5 years of playing by yourself you cant do a 80's shred solo you suck.
17 years You should be able to learn any songs by hear and do it perfectly after like an hour

So apparently Steve Morse's right wrist is now completely fucked, his long-term arthritis recently being exacerbated with bone spurs that have made playing excruciatingly painful for him. According to some guy who knows his guitar technician, Joe Satriani will be finishing Purple's current tour, which will be their last before they retire.

So post your favourite Morse stuff!

I would fuck the gay right out of Annie Clark

Should i solo thinking about the chords' notes all the time, or just pick a scale that fits and going by ear, hitting chords notes AND dissonances?

>>72423985
Disgusting

>>72424277
>guitar solos
I'm sorry, i thought the 80's were over

>>72424277
