Most people would agree with you, even fans. His "greatness" is based on shit he did in the Guns era.

>>73522132
Djent is cool and enjoyable

>>73522156
I guess, I still don't understand how "November Rain" 's became so widely acclaimed, when it's one of the most boring solos I have ever heard.

I have another unpopular opinion. Blues is boring and repetitive. It is only good in small bits, sprinkled in small bits.

>>73522276
what is good guitar music for you?

>>73522251
Wouldn't that be a popular opinion? Given the amount of Periphery fans in the world. My problem with Djent is the lack of "riffs". Djent guitarists are more bassists than guitarists. They only use one string for their "complex rhythms" completely neglecting the other strings.

jazz fusion sounds good

>>73522311
Laugh all you want, but I enjoy progressive rock/metal a lot. I like odd time signatures, complex guitar riffs, and solos. Don't get me wrong, I do like to listening to some bluesy leads, and rhythms in my music. However, listening to a whole twelve bar blues is kind of agonizing, dont you agree?

Now, I am interested on what you like to listen to anon. Because Jazz fusion is to me one of the coolest genres of music.

>>73522354

wait, thats not an unpopular opinion... wait, i'll try to come up with another one ok

>>73522373
Which guitarists do you listen to, anon?

>>73522323
Well it's definitely unpopular here, know your audience and all that. And the rest of that's not really true. What you're thinking of is the simplified new wave of metalcore and deathcore that took influence from and masquerades as djent/prog

>>73522389
i love stuff like jeff beck and weather report. but frank zappa uses fusion to rape his music, and so many other artists like Guthrie goven

i mean. a melody should have a certain length until it becomes confusing. and with none functional harmony its even worse

>>73522408
Is that Johnny Depp, or Jack White?

>>73522413

Show me a good djent band, that actually uses riffs instead of playing their guitar like basses.

>>73522475
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gRESh4iyfs
Last time I posted this people tried arguing it's not djent, but it is. Or just look at Periphery's old stuff, they're all over the fretboard with a lot more than just open chugs

>>73522443
Don't know man, I like weird, melodies. Lots of Jazz fusion guitarists try to emulate other instruments with their guitars. Like playing sax lines on guitars. That kind of fluid way of phrasing. I understand why you wouldn't like it, but listening to it kind of a trip, if you may say. It's impressive the way they use chromaticism/tension on their music.

I would love a Mayones guitar but they are just ridiculously overpriced. Can't see paying that much for a guitar compared to Japanese or American counterparts. Why are they so expensive?

>>73522622

djentbois and proglords started collectively creaming over them, inflating the prices

>>73522132
I'm convinced Kirk Hammett has some sort of mental disability.

>>73522354
blues is more about improvising over the simple bar structure with other musicians than playing complex piece the same every time. if you don't get off of a players phrasing then I can understand not enjoying listening to it without participating

Not gonna lie, they sound pretty good. However, their "djent" is pretty minimum. Maybe that's why I like them. This is more along the lines with Ne Obliviscaris, and if Obscura ditched their bassist, vocalist, and focused more on guitar lines. I agree, you will find gems like these guys in an oversaturated genre, however, my point still stands, 90% of "Djent" bands play the same shit trying to sound like a dollar store version of Periphery.

am i overthinking the fuck out of this?

I mean even 200$ is pushing it right? The original price was for 125. Then he found two burned pots (actually true) and the wiring was all wrong. The guy said the job "kicked his ass and must have done like 500$ worth of labor". I think hes bullshitting me

>>73528266
>Animals As Leaders
>A band that literally tracks bass for nearly all their songs and includes the recorded bass tracks during live shows

Sure, a lot of their guitar parts are heavily influenced by bass, but you'd have to be a bonafide dummy to call them a one-string band that doesn't riff

>>73528376
I never said that, anon. Animals as Leaders are the cream of the crop when it comes to Djent. I just thought that it was hilarious that you picked animals as leaders as an example.

This is how you write songs: you use your imagination.

you can also improvise and then make some of your favorite improvisation into a song (which is also a form of using your imagination)

>>73523969
sometimes its fine to use your 4th finger, but for a long or complex phrase or solo, using your 3rd might help hand placement for the next notes you play. otherwise using your 4th is totally fine, and good practice

>>73528300
>burned pots

>>73522132
Tonewood in guitar affects your tone much less than the pick you are using and you're strings
*being stoned*

>>73522323
that is kinda not true there is plenty of djent out there that focuses on complex rhytms and high note riffing often as bridges from one chord into another one (this is what periphery does a lot especially mark)

Actually to me it feels like there is more djent out there that focuses on those high note riffs then actual DJ-0-0-0-NT bands

How the fuck do you play an F#m7 chord? My fingers literally can't handle it. I have no idea how the fuck to grab this

>>73529402
I thought it was agreed upon that tonewood has absolutely no effect on your tone. The only people who push tonewood, are salesman like chappers and lee.

>>73529442
Not really, there's way more 0000 djent bands out there than riffing djent bands. When it became a trend a lot of band just chugged their 7th or 8th strings on off beats to make it sound "groovy".

I am not the greatest musician but this worked out for me

I watched a lot of videos on youtube like
>how to write like polyphia
>how to write like *insert band*
>how to write a *genre* song

Your first step should be to know what kind of song you want to make and what genre it approximately is so you know how the song is built.

Then listen to a lot of bands that you respect and look at how the build-up of their songs is.

>What are they doing to sound like how they sound?
Periphery (whether you are into that kind of music or not) is a great example

They got a lot of videos on youtube where they explain exactly how they come up with certain riffs and what sort of "rules" they write their riffs with.

One of the most important things is to realize that a song doesn't mean guitar riff only.
You will have bass/guitar/vocals/drum/etc. you gotta learn to think of those things aswell when writing riffs.

When you got your guitar in your hands and want to write THINK OF WHAT YOU WANT TO PLAY!

Don't just randomly hit notes but rather think of a melody - you can start with lead/rhytm or whatever you want to - starting with drums is also a good trick to some people which i personally don't prefer.

Keep thinking of how your song should sound like and then try to play EXACTLY your thoughts on guitar.

This will teach you a lot and after a couple songs that entire longpost will be a standard thing for you to do when you grab your guitar

i hope i could help you a bit.
This is how i slowly got into songwriting

>>73529635
Pro musicians are bound by contracts to talk about "muh tonewood". If they say it's bullshit then literally the whole thing collapses. They need to sell signature guitars. They need to trick you into thinking about tonewood "matters".

You just stack your fingers in order going from the lowest string to the highest

Or you could play a simplified version of it that doesn't rely on open notes:
|------
|--2--
|--2--
|--2--
|------
|--2--

You can finger it with your middle finger on the bottom and ring finger barring the top three, but generally I prefer doing it the same way as the one with the open notes

>>73529739

>>73525566
learn about song structure first.
secondly, think about your song mood. is it gonna be sad? happy? laid back? this is how you know what scale/mod you gonna use.

before even beginning to write the intro to your song you need to think of the chorus. don't base your chorus on the intro or the key.
just hum your song based your key/scale. if you picked a happy scale like lydian then you can most certainly start to play it on a virtual piano or something before laying it out on a guitar.

once you have your melody down, then you can write intro,outro and bridges. when you have your chord progression/melody you can insert licks in between (most notably sweet home Alabama,little bird use added licks with the core rhythem).
once you have your inrto, rhythm and progression,licks and you can finally do the outro.

now this is NOT set in stone, i bet there are people who can do it way better and more professionally than this. but this is sort of how i would write a song.

happy songs usually have a resolution in minor and they are also very forward and not laid back. if you look at songs like "the thrill is gone" you can see that its sort of a laid back song and the tempo is very mellow. but songs like stay by me are very upbeat and both start and end with a G chord for what i call a "happy chord"

I bought a Line 6 Helix. I don't really use the amp models much outside of recording, just use it in front of my amp mostly. I'm not a huge effects user anyway. It's pretty much replaced my pedalboard.

You're really a clueless retard, huh? The material affects the intonation?

>>73530548
If this guy >>73530520 isn't trolling, then he must be a Spanish speaker. The way he phrased(heh) that question, sounds like the way you would ask the same question in Spanish.

anyone here have standard epi les paul?
be honest, how is it?

>>73530928
I guess I didn't express myself right. Didn't you notice the instrument going out of tune? If your ears weren't rotten you would have noticed. As I said before, that guitar sounds 90% just like any strat with the same pick ups. Keep getting ripped off by companies by believing on the myth known as tonewood though. They need retards like you to fill their wallets.

>>73530822
it is not

>>73530999
Mate, the material has nothing to do with intonation. I'm not even defending tonewood. Intonation is structural, a carbon fiber guitar will intonate just like a wooden one.

>>73530999
>hyuk hyuk tonewood isnt real!
>it sounds 90% the same!

Where's the other 10% then you fucking idiot? Tonewood isn't the most important part of electric guitar tone but it's still a part.

>>73530967
spanish is much like portuguese so yeah you're right

>>73531107
You are legit retarded aren't you? I left the 10 percent out because no guitar sounds the same another. Also, there's other subtle variables to tone other pick ups you absolute mouth breather. Like picking attack, and other nuances on your playing.

>Tonewood isn't the most important part of electric guitar tone but it's still a part.

Keep making fender richer, you absolute fucking Muppet.

>>73531107
the other 10% are outcasts

>>73531107
>Where's the other 10% then you fucking idiot
theyre out partying

>>73531107
the other 10% is matter of relative opinion anon :^)

>>73531164
So if no guitar sounds the same, even one with exactly the same components made by a machine, how do you explain that? Assuming the same player, of course.

if tonewood doesn't matter why don't gibson just make all of their guitars from plywood?

>>73531044

Then at least tell me it's not a Gibson

>>73531220
Checkmate!

>>73531164
Oooh so you believe in tonepicks?

>>73531232
it is not either

>>73531201
Okay lemme understand your question better. The components are made by a machine, but then it was built by the same human right? Cuz if both guitars were manifatured by the same machine with the same everything, there might be a difference, but too subtle.

>>73531220
They're crack like plywood.

>>73531220
Because uhhh... ummm they spend more money to make you spend more money so they can make more money lol! Makes a lot of sense. Theres a big conspiracy thats been going on for hundreds of years! Any musician who believes in tonewood is a reptile deceiver created by Gibson on a PLEK machine who's out to take your cash!! Dont fall for it sheeple! Buy my plywood guitars!! Of course cardboard sounds the same!

>>73531236
That's the secret that companies don't want you to know. They want you to spend thousand of bucks on tonewood, however, all you need is the right pick.

Here are the things you need to consider if you want to achieve the sound you want:

>Your guitar type
>The action in your guitar
>The type of strings you are using
>Your pickups
>Your pick (or lack of a pick if you use fingers)
>Your amp type
>Your cabinet type
>Your EQ
>Your effects (including reverb)
>Your mic technique
>Various production techniques (such as double tracking)

Am i forgetting something?

>>73533793
you actually gotta practice, you can't hide distortion or reverb. no one here realizes it though.

>>73533793
you are forgetting to kill yourself

>>73533827
Well that is obvious, i was thinking about all the *technical* stuff you need to consider.

Of course you, yourself, the player, is the biggest factor over your sound

Btw here is another thing most guitarists don't think about:

Where you are playing on the strings has a very significant effect on your sound. playing closer to the bridge will give you a more mellow, rounder sound. playing closer to the bridge will give you a more twangy sound with more high-end

Watch 2:10 in this video youll see what i mean:

I want to learn guitar but I live in an apartment, what's the best way to play with headphones?
From what I've seen, my options are:
1. Headphone amp like the Vox amPlug
2. Audio interface into PC
3. Rocksmith cable into PC
4. Regular amp with headphone jack
Any tips?

>>73534768
in classical guitar you have this weird thing that prices generally don't matter until you get to the 1-2k range.
but generally a 700$ dollar should be very durable and have decent sustain

Guys, help me with one thing. My guitar rig 5 isn't sending output signal anymore, but it's receiving signals from my guitar. I've already checked my asio4all and the setup there is correct as usual, and I checked the control panel as well and everything there is as it's supposed to be. I don't know what happened, it was working yesterday.

>>73535493
Just one more thing; If I put some samples to play there it works just fine. It's just my guitar that doesn't have sound output for some reason.

What ya think? Any noticeable sloppy part? Kinda trying to get my name out there.

>>73536193
probably either the gibson j45 or the martin d18

but both of those guitars don't deserve the pricetag. i would personally go with taylor GS Mini-e Koa or the Epiphone 1964 Texan Acoustic-Electric" if i had the money

why buy any acoustic thats not a nice big resonant jumbo

>>73536287
the jumbo's usually cost a few hundred over dreadnoughts. but mostly because they are huge as fuck and you just want something you can relax with like a 3/4 single cutaway

>>73536272
What do you like about those? I've been looking at all of them except the Epiphone. I'd like to have a Taylor, as I'm still a relative beginner and the GS Mini-e Koa is pretty cheap.

Right now I can't really justify spending the money on J-45 or a Martin D18, mostly because I'm still a 'beginner' like I said and I'm not sure if they will suit my style.

>>73536630
folk jazz

>>73536647
well i don't particularly like either of those guitar. but its just that "guitar geeks" or guitar historians keep praising those 2 guitars over and over.

you should defiantly take a look at the epiphone texan. at that pricepoint you get solid top and solid back and sides, as well as a good nut. and it sounds great.
other than the mini koa there are more options like the Ibanez JSA5 or the Seagull Artist Mosaic. if you are looking for bang for the buck take a look at 700$ yahama's

>>73536647
>>73536272

that's a hell of a guitar but.. 4k dollars? i don't think you get much more than 1200$ in terms of features on a guitar unless you really want that sweet abalone inlays and rosewood back stripe

>>73537008
Where'd you get $4000? They're under a <€1000 here and around $1000 USD I believe.

>>73537037
oh i looked at the grand auditorium version of the guitar.. this is a kickass guitar either way. would really love one

>>73537097
I thought so too man.
Did you look at the 214(C)E or 114(C)E? I'm really not sure if the 214 is worth the extra €200~

Thanks for you input, I really appreciate it.

>>73537273
the 114 is walnaught back and sides
the 214 is rosewood back and sides.

historically speaking rosewood back and sides is the ultimate wood to have in the back. but that's for the tonewood debate. i don't know if Walnut is even a good tonewood because its only used to veneer les paul's top's
200$ for almost all rosewood guitar? worth it.

>>73537350
Alright, thank you! I'll try to get my hands on a GS Mini-E Koa and a 214(C)E so I can try them. Might have to just order both and send one back.

>>73537420
gotta correct myself.
they have a spruce top and koa back and sides.
and they also have spruce top rosewood back and sides.
all of those tonewoods are very expensive but you should try all of the 200 series variations

>>73537469
Just e-mailed a local shop asking if they could get them in store so I can try them.
I'm looking at a 214E DLX as well. Which seems really nice for right around €1000
