>get rec'd EZ drummer in a previous thread

>cannot open VSTi plugin in FL studio to use EZ drummer sounds

Do I shell out shekels for EZ drummer or play around with the drum sounds in FL studio until I get gud?

>>73461433
Anytime man. Become the next Johnny Ramone for us

>>73461448
you're not too bright are you?
go ask >>>/mu/prod but my advice is just start over

Lads, I had to sell all of my pedals and equipment because I was broke as fuck and hungry.
Now I only have one axe left and a shitty Fender 15 practice amp.
Vintage pedals gone forever to some bedroom noodler, no doubt!

You better be ready to support my upcoming lo-fi album on bandcamp, motherfuckers.

IT WILL BE MY TURN SOON RIGHT G-GUYS

Will thicker strings produce better tone? Thinking about going to 11s or 12s

>>73461632
I also had to sell my mic so I can only record using built in mic or phone, etc.

Dirty Beaches is about to get blown the fuck out of the spotlight when my shit releases bro

>>73461646
It'll produce different tone. Up to you whether or not it's better

this explains many things

anyway you don't really need much gear to make nice music godspeed anon

>>73461646
yes absolutely the thicker the strings the better the tone just ask any scientist. this is why bass guitar is superior too.

>>73461713
I know, I don't really refer to my instrument as an axe usually, but in this specific shitposting case I thought I'd better.

I hate any fucker who calls their instruments "axe", "rig", whatever the fuck they call it

But thanks anyway, I agree. I've heard songs recorded on a 4 track that sound better than professionally done shit

How do I get a "feel" for groove on the bass? Been trying to improv on some Marvin Gaye songs but I can't "get" it. Can any bassists on here recommend any good exercises to get a feel for groove?

>>73461896
Move your head up and down at a steady pace and suck (inevitable as a newbie) until someone is happy with your skills.

>>73461896
what you mean, groove

improvising or just playing the right notes at the right time?

I play bass and one thing I've learned over the years, is that we always need to listen to the drummer, pay attention and play with him, fill the gaps and try to play with a sense of rhythm

a bass hits lower frequencies, so for more funk/ r&b songs you should always keep in mind that you are the missing link between rhythm and melody

How to stop dropping my pick? My fingers get really smooth and slippery like I lose all my grip and it slips out so easily some days

>>73462060
>improvising or just playing the right notes at the right time?

Mostly improv, I can hit the right notes in the right time usually but I start fucking up when I improv or try to slap to a groove

>>73462082
Get a pick with a different texture
Play more so the calluses are hard
Grip tighter
Wipe your hands every now and again
Play with your fingers instead

>>73462082

ok so

this guy gave me a good help

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWlv4NPyRI0

I also play guitar, so blues scales and shit helped me quite a bit with bass
also, I don't know why but I used to copy Paul McCartney (covering a good amount of beatles song) and that also helped me quite a lot

>>73462231
send it to me

I've had a Danelectro DC59 Korean reissue sitting around forever, is it worth replacing the rosewood bridge/stock pickups or should I sell it for a different axe ?

try to play Em, B7, Em, B7 and go on

it's funny because it makes me horny xD

Been playing a garbage entry Fender a friend sold me for 40$ a few years ago but it is time for an upgrade. Anyone have any strong feelings for or against this? (standard plus-top pro). I just play at home for fun right now.

>>73464140
i upgraded my first guitar
a hss strat with basswood body
got it good pickups, a new tremolo system, and fucking repainted it for twice the price of the guitar
did that because "muh feelings my first guitar"
turns out the guitar sounds worse than my friend's squier with just a pups upgrade, and it doesnt feel like my first guitar anymore with that new color

>>73464252

Damn man, you suck if that is the case.
I could play like that on my first or second day of playing, unironically.

That being said, it doesn't matter THAT much. You can still create a great song with very basic ability. I'd say having the right ear and talent for composition is more important.

should i stop focusing on learning a lot of chords if all i want to play is dreampop, post-punk and shoegaze?
and just move on to learning scales and reading guitar method?

I wanna buy headphones for silent practice, do i just buy anything with a quarter inch plug?

if so, recommendations please

>>73464557
just play the songs you want to play
or write songs with current knowledge, acquire more when you feel stuck

>>73464555
Not really. I had wanted a guitar ever since I was a boy and couldn't get one. When I finally did, I just strummed the strings open for like an hour listening to the sound of the instrument, and smiling because it was me making that sound.
Then I tried to play for like 16 hours straight. By the end of the first day I could play a couple of songs and some simple blues licks, etc.

Just depends how motivated you are. But like I said, it's not that important really. If you want to make music, it's not that important.

While I don't doubt that some people have an affinity for certain things and pick it up faster than others, I think you are drastically overstating your skill as a day 1 , not that it matters but its just kind funny to read

>>73464743
Anon is probably referring to very basic shit. Any beginner can switch from A to Em.

>>73464814
No dude, Captain Badass™ was shredding on DAY ONE.

>>73464698
I know, it was a big of a blog post but fuck it

>>73464743
I'm not at all. I could play a few open chords and basic blues licks with hammer ons.
I've always had great hand eye coordination and reflexes though

I found out early on that the trick to learning chords is to not strum at all and press down extremely hard until it hurts your fingertips, and for whatever reason, you learn much quicker.
Do that for like 5 minutes, just pressing down the chord until it hurts, releasing and doing it again, and for whatever reason muscle memory kicks in quicker.

I'm left handed, maybe that has something to do with it too?

>>73464814
Most can yeah
I made great progress within the space of a month

>>73464881
Not shredding, but certainly progressing faster than usual maybe

>>73464892
I'm not sure pressing down hard is necessary, but leaving your fingers in chord formation for a while to get used to their position is useful.

>>73464892
So you have gone from soloing Pink Floyd songs day one, to playing a few chords by pressing down on the strings really hard

>>73464892
you're full of shit

>>73464892

Nah the pain makes it sink in quicker I'm telling you

Whats the matter with ya? I wasn't claiming I was shredding, but my relative is a music teacher and literally told me that I'd progressed more in a month than some do in 6.
I played everyday for minimum 8 hours. Minimum!
Fuck yourselves you wannabes. Don't blame me for your lack of discipline and passion

>>73465755

Someone explain picks to me. I've always played fingerstyle so when I try to use one its like trying to play with four of my fingers chopped off. And I can't ever tell if I'm hitting the string with the pick because the pick does all the work. The only real benefit I can see is if you have sissy fingernails that break all the time, but they have fingerpicks for that. So what does everyone love about the single pick style of playing?

>>73465794
tone and shredding

>>73465794
Sounds different, harder hits on up and down strokes.
Don't need a pick if you're trying to play songs to make girls swoon and cry

>>73463425
Would you rec an Acapulco gold to someone who already has a distortion and fuzz?

Is the Orange Crush 20 - 20-watt 1x8" Combo Amp a good amp? I found one real cheap someone is selling bc they need to move.

>>73461190
Have you guys heard of Newtone strings? Based in the UK, handmade strings at whatever custom gauges you want. I'm thinking about picking up some nickelplated steel, roundcore (instead of the standard hex core) bass strings from them.

Why aren't there any good guitarists? I've heard all types of cooker shit on every instrument known to man, but never a good guitarist. Is there something seriously wrong with guitars?

>>73467589
Yes.

>>73467589

No

>>73467589
Maybe

>>73467466
>Orange Crush 20 - 20-watt 1x8
What kind of music do you play? I have the Orange Crush 120 and I like it a lot. I can get a lot of sounds out it. I am aware of the wattage difference, however, they should share the same circuit, as they are both solid state amps. You might want to upgrade the speaker of the combo with the money that you will save though, for better sound.

>>73465755
From people who are better than me

anyone got experience with Guitar Center's buyback program?

I've got a squier strat just sitting around that i haven't touched, and i've been thinking about trading it in for some extra money towards a guitar of my choosing.

Is it worth it to go through the trouble though? or should i try to flip it on craigslist or something for a better price?

>>73468132
You will always get the better price if you directly sell to some other guy. No middle man. I think the question is whether you want to deal with the bullshit of some random craigslist guy.

>>73468275
well i've been also trying to sell off some pedals i don't use anymore for months and no one from CL/LetGo/every other reselling site/app has given a serious offer for it.

I was planning to go GC and sell them off (unless they pull some gamestop tier shit and offer me like 5-10 bucks a piece for them), and figured if anyone can give me some kind of idea of their pricing, i could probably bring it along and see what it's worth

Whatever happened to SGBro?

>>73467359
jazz III master race

>>73467866
I like playing jazz

>>73469036
Yeah, you can get a jazz tone out that. I would assume you already own a hollow body guitar, so all you need is a clean tone, and a tiny bit of reverb. I would still advice you to play it first to see if it is to your liking, then again, I imagine you are getting at less than 100 bucks, so it would be a nice practice amp to have.

i really wanna get good at learning songs by ear but whats the best way to progress? right now im just trying to get good at hearing intervals

>>73469204
Learn simple songs from a bunch of genres. Pick out the key first (just hit some notes and try to figure out which ones do or don't fit), then figure out the melody by ear (literally just matching, this part is the easiest if you have even a marginally developed ear). Chords are the hardest to get but if you know enough shapes and know roughly how each one sounds you can get it right after some practice. You really need to know the key in order to get the chords right unless it's something stupid easy like power chords.

Just keep practicing after that.

I just bought a Sherwood Green '50s CV from Sweetwater eBay, did I do good?

I'm an end beginner/beginning intermediate player looking to learn some songs. Problem is: I love melodic mathcore, melodic hardcore, and basically a lot of faster/heavier styles of metal. Is it okay (and possible at all) to start off with those songs or do I work my way into it by first doing other kinds of music? It's not that I don't like anything else (listen to almost any genre on and off), but just that this is the music I'm learning the guitar for.

>>73470044
Just find something relatively easy to play, ease your way into it. I was the same when I was starting to get the hang of playing, and wanted to play some harder songs but got discouraged again and again because I didnt have the ability to play the shit I really wanted to. But I guess it also depends on how motivated you are, maybe you have enough time and motivation to just keep practicing until you get the hang of it. Would probably take longer though

Anyone want to see what i have around the house?

>>73464010
It makes my dick tingle

>>73470160
Thanks for the tip! Since a couple weeks I've been really motivated to improve my playing and try to practice about 1,5 hours following a scheme, and then just do some 'fun playing'/experimenting on the side. Think that'll be enough to just plunge into the 'inspiration-material' while improving my technique with the practice scheme? Also, what songs did you start out with when you were at that level? Perhaps there's some good practice material amongst them.

Leftover pedal board thats been cannibalised, but is coming back

>>73470399
Yeah that sounds good man. As cliché as it sounds the main part (for me at least) is to have fun. When I started I just learned chords for some simple songs that I liked and continued from there. Can only remeber a few, I do remember learning the solo for Powerslave by Iron Maiden, also the Sweet Child O' Mine solo and Impulse by An Endless Sporadic. I found those fun to play, but I would recommend finding a song that you like, it makes it a lot easier and more fun in my opinion.

>>73470399
Learn intervals.

>>73466623
I suggest you get a better tech or do that shit yo'self

opinions on semi hollow bass?

>>73470751
Thanks a lot for the helpful feedback, I'm trying to learn transcribing by ear, so perhaps I can get to work on slowing down some songs I like and gradually speeding them up, along with learning easier step-in songs. The Sweet Child O' Mine solo might be a good starting point as well!

>>73470781
I'll be checking that technique out as well! Thanks!

>>73470889
Intervals aren't a technique. Its the basis of all music, even those that do not fall under the umbrella of "Western music".
Put simply. An interval is the distance between two notes. And no matter what the style of music it is you listen to. It is all based upon the distance between two notes. You like math core/metal.. Then research that style of music in terms of intervals and you will see a pattern.

I just started learning. I'm going to ask a really basic question, feel free to call me a faggot if you must.

I've learned about 16 basic beginner chords from justguitar. All of them are at the top of the neck using the first few bunch of frets. How do the chords translate to the rest of the neck? Do I have to use a capo if I want to play chords down there? Because some of them have open strings, so one of the notes will be in the wrong octave or whatever.

>>73471525
You can transpose these 16 shapes up the neck to apply them to different notes. You fret where would be the open strings. That would require a different fingering, usually barring where the 0 fret would be.

>>73471554
Hou also can learn how chords are formed (intervals and triads as >>73471561 mentioned) and create chord shapes and inversions yourself, though you'll most likely end up with some of these 16 standard ones

I'll look into this. I wish I could practice some more right now but it's the middle of the night. It's a good feeling slowly transitioning from fumbling sausages between strings to weaving silky threads of coherent music.

do i need to get it re set up again? thicker strings? or a whole ass new guitar? i wanna love my jazzmaster but it will not love me

You could try gently filing the saddle to remove any sharpness

all those pedals and i bet you don't even use them
some poor fuck sold them to you and you don't even bother to use them

what a shame

>>73471989
What strings do you use?

>>73472112
im a beginner i cant be setting up shit yet i will fuck it up (my saddles on the mustang bridge became a meme very soon)

>>73472123
when i had it restrung I bought d'addarios and they were easy to bend so whatever gauge that is

>>73472213
So you probably bought light strings. Try medium or regulars. That might help

>>73472221
Follow up:
But first of all, check your bridge

>>73472243
how do i do that?

i really am a beginner i don't know how this goes

>>73472113
You're right. I don't use them. It's just what's lying around the house

>>73472294
last time i checked it was pretty good

I'm an expert level player, perhaps masterful and rarely change my strings unless one snaps.
I really adjust intonation or the set up at all and it's been the same, not adjusted for years and it sounds fine.

I bet I can play better than most of you retards obsessing over "muh setup" needs to be perfect

>>73472346
Check and adjust again

play Grover Washington Jr.'s 'Mister Magic'. Ever since all I play is sunk because I love crazy groovy rhythms. have a look at similar funk titles that focus primarily on 1-4 licks, and just experiment and toy with octaves and different intervals to see what sounds cool. I can also recommend Herbie Hancock's 'Chameleon'.

This overdrive pedal is really cheap on craigslist near me. The only OD pedal i have is a Boss Blues Driver. Do I need it lads?

hey guys how the fuck do i learn how to improvise and play chord progressions in X key?

>be me at age 13
>start playing guitar
>get an amp and guitar + cable from my dad
>be me now at 24
>cable i got from my dad broke
>buy 2 replacement cables for €15 each that break within 2 months each

can someone please suggest a good cable to me idk wtf to invest in, i'm willing to spend some money so i don't have to keep buying new ones anymore

>>73472357
you might be pretty good at playing guitar however you objectively cannot state that strings that are years old will work just fine

>>73473035
learn scales and chords

>>73473035
>look at key
>see what notes are used
>wank yourself off with one hand while with the other you tap all the notes within the scale

improvise fags are the worst don't get into it

how to proceed to start giving guitar lessons

>>73473108
just teach them how to play some songs

>>73473098
i don't want to fap on the strings I just want to be able to oblige if some guy says

"hey guitarist lay me down a rhythm in Emajor"

help

>>73473108
print thousands of cards with your contact info and distribute them in schools and other large buildings, offer lessons via skype as well

https://clyp.it/2efudku0
playin' about year, writen a song

>>73473138
so you just play something with the notes E, F, G, A, B, C, and D.

you can do it anon just remember it

also practice, much practice

>>73473191
alright but what if he says chords?

>>73466143
why even try to fight it? the fact that anybody replies just proves how shit this general really is and how retarded the posters are. just sit back and enjoy the shitshow and have a laugh m8

on non-master amps on amplitube you can control the amount of poweramp and preamp distortion with the amp's volume control and the input level control

are all squier guitars complete shit? i want a telecaster

>>73473373
yes
and all telecasters are complete shit
no exceptions
you're allowed to enjoy shit

>>73473373
no, squiers arent complete shit

here's how you shop for guitars
whatever brand it is, pick the one that plays better and sounds loud unplugged, you feel like the whole body's ressonating together, and looks good

then you put a good set of pickups like fender 57 or a duncan pearly gates and you have a really good guitar, a keeper

>>73473139
>teaching guitar school kids
will i have to be cool for teens and social and like chatting during and after the lessons or no

>>73473209
focus on the root notes of the chords, also do some ad-libbing in between chords to make it a little more appealing i guess

>>73473373
The only people who claim Squire is decent are poorfags who can't afford anything better. The minute they get some cash they all go buy a real Fender and laugh at Squire owners for being too poor to afford a real Fender.

The phenomenon is called "first year being a guitarist".

now this is some badass bass sound

Any reason why? I found a used one for less than that which is cool.

>>73473766
they're the standard rec for beginners and yamaha's quality control is great
if you can't detect problems in a used instrument, it's a cheap safe bet

>>73473674
unless is a very good classical guitar (luthier made), don't buy used.

>>73473717

>>73473701
help me out then nigooooo

should i just buy fatter strings and raise the action to prevent fret buzz and breaking the strings even though the set up i paid for was supposed to mend those issues

>>73473832
get rid of that piece of shit

>>73473832
sand the saddles for them to stop cutting the strings
set up the truss rod to fix the buzzing. basically press string at the 1st and 15th fret and there should be just a tiny little space between the string and fret, around 1mm or a bit less. might vary depending if you see a warp on the fretboard so you wanna compensate for it on the truss rod
then set bridge action to taste
then set the intonation
then carefully stick the guitar in your asshole to check if you setted it right

I mean, if you're a working guitarist you'll be playing rhythm or comping 90% of the time so that's a pretty good foundation to have. Most bands want a good rhythm guitarist who compliments the other members, not some noodler who tries to take the spotlight when he's not supposed to.

Also, bends are overrated desu

Leads are often a pita, whee whee whee noise/fx on every song

Years ago, I was told to "try and make your performance stand on it's own to please the crowd with just a guitar and voice". I mean sometimes I wish I was able to noodle up and down scales to improvise some "impressive" solo as people call it, but it's probably better to have a performance that's simple enough to impress without having to rely on how fast someone's hands can go
