>>72954642
IONIAN - 0 sharps, 0 flats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1
DORIAN - 2 flats 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7 1
PHRYGIAN - 4 flats 1 b2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 1
LYDIAN - 1 sharp 1 2 3 #4 5 6 7 1
MIXOLYDIAN - 1 flat 1 2 3 4 5 6 b7 1
AEOLIAN - 3 flats 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 1
LOCRIAN - 5 flats 1 b2 b3 4 b5 b6 b7 1

What this means is that to get dorian (which has two flats) you would take ionian and just flat the 3rd and 7th notes. This is because it will be all of the exact same notes as ionian EXCEPT for the 3rd and the 7th, as the chart above shows.

>>72951131
Bc most people here don't play guitar and most of those who do play just started.

>>72955222
I wouldn't say it sounds like amplitube...but I wouldn't play through it.

then again i bet ace frehley didnt invent it but its the first time i ever really 'got' that fill

today i ordered a fender jazz bass american standard. found a new one that was still in stock. they've been discontinued at the beginning of the year and replaced by the american professional series that's about $400 more expensive.

>>72957050
is it tendinitis what it can turn into if i keep forcing it?

ace didn't invent that lick, that's just super standard. maybe jimmy page popularized it but certainly not ace. kiss was not an inventive band musically, most of the leads/rhythms you're hearing in kiss go back to zeppelin and sabbath

>>72958357
sure but it works. one of my favorite solos to play (first "shreddy" one I learned too)

>rockists are still surprised that all rock music is derivative and basic
this meme will never not be funny

>>72958380
ace's style was/is pretty unique and swaggy tho

>>72958213
drink a beer or two before you start.

other than that realize 90% of the people in the audience aren't musicians and wouldn't know a mistake if it bit them on the ass

>>72958213
All you can do is be well rehearsed. Don't listen to people who tell you to drink beforehand, all that does is make you more likely to mess up while not caring about messing up. The amount of alcohol it takes to relax your inhibitions also relaxes your motor skills.

Suffer through the anxiety the first time, you'll probably find it subsides really quickly when you start playing. At least that's how it is for me. Five years into playing shows and I'm still nervous beforehand, but if you're actually a good player and confident in your skills then you should have an easy time on stage. And if you're not a good player then you shouldn't be on stage anyway

>>72958213
No one will notice you, that's if anyone is actually there to see you.

>>72958454

duh. where did i say big? it's probably some gig on a wednesday night. 3 or 4 bands, 30 to 45 minutes sets

I really wanted to know if he's better as a guitarist or a pick-up artist. You have to admit that the resemblance is uncanny.

>>72959148
muh anecdotal evidence. of all the musicians i work with guitarists are the ones who hate accepting truth more than any other, even if it's for their benefit.

so /gg/ i am re-painting a shitty mim strat that i got (will post pics later) and i was sanding it down outside and my neighbor walks up to me and starts giving me shit for 'destroying a stratocaster' and a 'piece of american history' and just didnt understand that it was made in mexico in 2009

this is what normies actually think/know about guitars, why bother spending the extra money on 4000 dollar guitars? to impress other musicians?

>>72959169
Idk, djent is kinda boring... Everyone just sounds like they're trying to do what Animals As Leaders did on their debut 8 years ago.

Postan my American Special Tele. Thinking of getting a white pickguard, locking tuners, and new strings to replace the stock ones. Thoughts? I've also been looking for an amp to replace my Squier sp-10. no luck at the local pawn shops yet!

That's an american ash body, not a TV yellow like op's. I incorrectly said blond, but it looks TV yellow.

I have a 2007 American std ash strat in transparent blond. Love it, love the guitar, love the finish. A TV yellow with white pickguard is different and not as good. My opinion, though.

desu the only useful chord qualities i can think of are major, minor, dominant/diminished. and power chords

excluding extensions thats pretty much all you need to play pop music smart ass

>>72961021
i meant five actual chords, not types of chords.

>>72960845
If you find a guitar you otherwise like, don't fret over action and bowed necks and old strings. For sure, make an issue of it, and get the best price you can off of those guys with whatever reasoning you can use. But those kinds of "flaws" are so easy to fix. Find a good instrument, get it at a good price, and spend a couple of hours and a set of strings on "fixing" it.

also any recommendation for pedalboards? going to build a small one for both guitar and bass

Just reminding everyone out here which fenders are the best fenders. Have a nice day, everybody.

How much is too much for a bedroom practice amp? I.e. wattage and size?

Is a Vox AC10 too much?

>>72964051
Size: Whatever's comfy in your room and whether you're going to be transporting it a lot
Wattage: I don't think an upper limit makes sense here. A lot of modern amps don't sound shit at low volume and if you're using headphones you're gold anyway. My friend has an AC10 in his room and it sounds great.

>>72964051
You dont need more than 5 watts ss for a bedroom. You could gig with a 5 watt tube amp

>>72964084
>>72964157
Ok, thanks.
So something like a Vox AC4 is better? Or perhaps a Bugera V5? I like that you can change the wattage

>>72965266
Because like so many guitarists, they're dreamers. They live in their own dreamy little dream world, dreaming a dreamy dream that they own a Fender guitar. Then they pose in front of their bedroom mirror with their Squiers and think hmm, I could dream a better dreamy dream if it said Fender on the headstock. Then they stick a fake decal on their shit guitars. Then they think hmm, I could dream the perfect dreamy dream if I could pretend it was a vintage Fender and I'd actually taken it out of my bedroom and done a gig with it. Then they shit the finish up with power tools. Then they realize that they've ruined their guitars and sell them on ebay as Fender Squire Stratacaster with unique relic finish rare color includes new strings" for $70. And no one buys it.And the dreamy dream is finally over forever.

My shit is custom too, Fender US Standard body and a Warmoth neck, 10-16 radius and big stainless steel frets. Bare Knuckle Flat 50 in the bridge, Fender Twisted Tele in the neck and a Creamery Alnico 2 middle pickup, sounds awesome. The switching is custom ...

1 - bridge only
2 - bridge + middle
3 - bridge + neck
4 - middle + neck
5 - neck only

So I get the Strat pickup combinations without losing the Tele ones. Really great way to wire a Tele, might sell the idea to Fender for billions of dollars.

Well it all started when I got scarlett in/out thing to record on my computer. Then I bought a Fender Blues Jr. because i was told to get a tube amp if I wanted to record, and oh yeah I had to buy a shure mic and an adaptor to connect it all, but it would all be worth it because that's all quality stuff that will last me a lifetime right?

Well when that wasn't enough, I bought a Big Muff fuzz pedal, an OCD overdrive thingy, and this weird blue pedal that makes it echoing. Then I spent about $100 on cables and shit just trying to wire it all up and had to buy a pedal board to keep it from getting tangled.

When none of that gave me a good tone I gave up on all of it and bought an accoustic guitar, which entertained me for awhile but I missed my electric tone. So then I traded in my blues jr. for a marshall cab + bought an Orange tiny terror head. And now finally I have no money left.

GG sweetwater and guitar center, you played me like the fool I am.
