Who here actually writes their own songs?

>>73557657
Me. i compose music all the time, most of it is unrecorded.

>>73557676
What is your general writing process?

>>73557657
I'm working on my own compositions, but I'm pretty shit at it

>>73557695
Usually it starts with Improvisation, and then i continue it using my imagination in a more "planned" way then just improvising.

Few of my songs actually came from dreams.

Here. have something i made:

I guess that goes out to everyone but how do you guys find people that want to make music with you without actually starting a band? I mean something like a workshop or club where you just sepnd some time together learning shit and jamming

>>73557894
just start a band with irresponsible guys that noodle all over the rehearsal and never get to play at places

>>73557894

Open mic nights at bars/pubs... finding musicians is hard, finding competent musicians that you jam well with is even harder...

>>73557657
i made some metal riff once but that's all i did. and i didn't even write down.

i will probably get around writing some arpeggio but playing existing songs is just too comfy atm

>separate EQ and volume controls for each

I've been casually been learning bass for a few months now, and one of the problems I run into is doing complex things with my left hand makes me start fucking up on my right hand, and vice versa

Are there any exercises I can do to help with this, or am I just autistic for life

Question:

I've been playing guitar for 4 years or so. I can play a few different styles, but I've pretty much just learned by playing daily and by ear. I haven't learned any scales, or any theory. Well, I know, like, one scale in maybe one position or something.
I pretty much play whatever I feel like playing, for example, if I like something, I'll learn it by ear and then figure it out. I can't seem to force myself to learn stuff I don't feel like, because that's just how I am and I instantly just lose interest.

But I realise that if someone handed me a guitar and said "play", I'd freeze and probably play barre chords like a pleb.
I don't care for "shredding" and all of that stuff though. I mean, I used to love blues, and can play some alright stuff but now I don't even like that anymore. I don't see the instrument as a "one man band" thing in any sort of way, I see it purely as an instrument to make interesting sounds that I can then use to make interesting music. I don't actually care for shredding, or even being a great player. It's difficult to explain what I mean.

So how do I into learning properly? Where do I go from here? What do you recommend?
I've been looking at learning intervals recently.

>>73560804
>I don't actually care

Yeah we can tell

>>73560861
Not helpful advice.

>>73560804
>What do you recommend?

there is nothing wrong with no knowing music theory if you can follow instructions.

but in my opinion learning music theory is really enjoyable but its just not for everyone. you need to really love music and willingness to learn + patience.
im assuming you already know what chords are just go from there.

for scale i recommend you learn how to play the major scale. modes are simply modifications of the major scale by a few notes.
i would go like this

keys,time signature/tempo,circle of fifths,chromatic chords,intervals

those are good concepts for reading music and understanding it.

for writing music i recommend scales,harmony,melody,pitch,song structure,tension and resolve etc

>>73560804
learn the major scale and how to use it and realise how shallow music really is

>tfw you melted your brain with internet abuse and cant even count repetitions on song parts

>>73561083
buy more pedals

>>73559998
Not as sick as Billy Gibbons is ;___;

>>73559998
not as sick as malcom young tho, especially on rhythm playing

what does it mean when someone used the G major scale in a song that in the key of D?
what i mean is, what is the relation between G and D that makes it okay to do this?

Should I get a Bass VI?

I'm a bass player and have only been a bass player who only knows TAB but I want to be a lead singer due to my lyrics, but I don't really wanna transition to guitar and I've heard playing a regular bass is hard while singing.

Any idea on what I should do? the type of music I wanna perform is Related Tags
indie, shoe-gaze and lo-fi kinda stuff with a bit of post-rock and folk influences?

>>73561310

you cant make this up

>>73561355
so i can use any of those scales in my song then huh

>>73561396
you can use those notes and chords in the key of D.
scales are different, its more about position

>>73561385
>you cant make this up
Whats wrong?

>>73561448
>its more about position
reeee, fucking normie

>>73561518
i don't fully understand how scales are used.
i mean. how the fuck can someone play a scale from G to G in perfect arrangement? i thought scales gives you more freedom on the fretboard and keys confine you into a box with rules

>>73561552
>how the fuck can someone play a scale from G to G in perfect arrangement?
what do you mean by from G to G
>i thought scales gives you more freedom on the fretboard and keys confine you into a box with rules
i dont fucking know how you think that. scales and keys are different concepts but the same notes

>>73559857
t. white blues fan age 50

>>73561718
then for example, how to play pentatonic on the entire fretboard? lets say you start with A

>>73561756
you can either the memorize the shapes from internet charts so you cover the whole fretboard
or pick the notes of the scale (in the case of pentatonic Am, its A C D E G) and find them all over the fretboard by yourself and eventually memorize the shapes. remember to always know wheres the root on each position

Do you know how to play jazz? It's kinda like that, only it's a lot more about the chords. Also don't use plain chords, add a 9th or something in there. A7m and C9/G are some good bossa nova chords.

Do any of you subconsciously make weird faces when playing the guitar?

>>73563346

>>73561329
There have been a lot of bassists who sing, they tend to be very competent bassists or write simple parts though. I mean if you just play root notes in simple rhythms(like straight 8ths) you could argue it's easier to play bass and sing than guitar, you could ride a lot of parts out without changing positions. So what if it's harder? Becoming good at any instrument isn't easy.

Or just write lyrics for someone else in your band to sing.

the difference between a g major scale and a d major scale is the C/C#. if you play a g major scale over a d major chord you're basically implying the b7

I was randomly scrolling /mu/ and saw this,

My friend passed away a few years ago and he left me this exact same guitar. I haven't used it yet because I think it needs some work, I plugged it into an amp once and nothing came out.

What can you tell me about it?

>>73565843
Well, it's an Ibanez RG1570. mine has a custom "pickgaurd" (tho it's not really a pickgaurd..)

You can read more about it here:
http://ibanez.wikia.com/wiki/RG1570

I dunno why it's not working for you, maybe there is a problem with the wiring, and maybe the volume knob was all the way down and you didn't notice

that feel when your only friend that plays has been playing since 5th grade yet only knows minor pentatonic E shape

that feel when he says "i don't like mids, it sounds like you have a blanket on your amp, you know?"

that feel when he thought tone knobs controlled mids so he always played with them on 0

that feel when he hits you with "why do you need an eq pedal cant you just use the knobs on the amp?"

Does anyone else feel like we're currently in a golden age of gear but it sucks because guitar and rock are largely irrelevant?

I mean, even digital modeling amps have gotten pretty good, mainly ID Core and Katana.

>>73568292
Guitar and rock music is still immensely relevant, so nope.

It just doesn't dominate like 90% of music like it used to do in the 70's

>>73568292
They are not irrelevant, millions of people still love guitar music. It's just that if you expect to be treated like a hero and become billionaire like they did in the 70's you are going to be disappointed.

They're a lute-related instrument. A guitar is a lute-related instrument. An ukulele can't be a type of guitar because only guitars are types of guitars. But they're closely related. They both have a common ancestor in the vihuela

>>73572249
electric guitars, no matter how high of "quality" they are, hardly contribute to your sound. maybe some parts of it like humbuckers vs single coils vs p90s do, but buying an expensive guitar will hardly sound different, and nobody will be able to notice in live situation. maybe it can sound different in recording clean, but after production you won't be able to tell the difference. you are wasting money if you seriously think an 1600usd guitar is going to sound better than an 800usd guitar.

I've been looking into the MIM Jazzmaster series Fender is making right now and I really want to pick one up. Before I do though is there anything similar not made by Fender I might want to look into?

>no I'm just not an idiot brain dead consumer
You are, your lack of money just limits your consumption and you screech about it autisticly whenever you see anyone who's not limited the same way you are.

>>73572428
Nah, the guitar absolutely does effect the sound. its not just the pickups, the components of the guitar also changes the way the strings vibrate (which is why some guitars have more sustain than others).

It's true in a live setting this will be hard to notice, but it matters for studio recordings. it is true though you can get excellent guitars for reasonable prices nowdays

>>73572976

I own plenty of fancy gear other than guitars, and I think higher priced amps do have better quality than lower priced ones, and actually have an impact on your sound and playing. I just don't think higher priced guitars have any on your sound or playing up to a certain price point, which isn't a very high price point in the grand scheme of things.

Alternate question - could I put together a Jazzmaster from parts instead for the same price?

I don't feel super confident in my woodworking abilities but I know there are plenty of places like Warmoth that sell pre-cut bodies and necks and the like. I recently put together a Carvin bass from one of the kits they sell and I'm super happy with how that turned out. My only concern would be the wiring, but I'm sure there are guides for that.

Anyone have any experience with this? Would it be worth the effort or should I just stick with the MIM? I'm willing to sink in the time if the end result is worth it.

>>73573556
>I just don't think
/gg/ poorfa/gg/s in a nutshell

>>73573607
thanks for refuting my argument. solid point dude.

Is there any bass style that doesn't use wacky slap garbage?

>>73573594
Putting one together would probably cost more and would have dramatically less resale value.

I mic'd up my amp and I'm just trying to get a good recording. My gear isn't too great, cheap focusrite interface and an AT2020, but I can't get a clean recording without a huge amount of gain and noise. I can turn the mic down but then my levels are so low in audacity they barely cover a quarter of the track. Is this just the price of cheap equipment or is it possible to get a decent sound?

>>73573695
Yeah I figured the resale value wouldn't be great. If I went to the effort to put it together and all then I'd want to hold onto it for a while so that part doesn't bother me.

It is disappointing that it would cost more, though. But the more I look at prices of bodies and individual pickups the more I think you might be right.

I would honestly be happy just to get a MIM and stain/repaint it since I hate the sunburst so much but that seems like it would be pretty easy to fuck up.

>>73573767
Condensers have more noise naturally, turn up your amp more so you don't need as much gain on the mic.

Your tone can only be as good as your amp and cab, and mic placement affects it a shit-ton

>>73573944
Okay thanks, I'll just play louder I guess. I've been able to coax a decent tone out of this old practice amp. As for mic placement I've been trying about a foot away and a little off center of the speaker. Any suggestions on that front?

>>73573622
Yeah, you think. In other words you don't know.

Do the world a favor: learn the difference and stop running your mouth until you do.

>>73573973
Try putting it like an inch away from the grill aimed right at the point between the cap and cone of the speaker. Might be way too bassy with that mic though. Dynamic mics are more common for that

>>73574045
okay I know. I used to have fallen for the meme but now I know there's no difference. happy?

>>73573767
that's weird. first thing to do is try another cable bc a bad wire in a balanced audio cable will fuck up the signal.

if that's not it it might be fucked, even low end mics are usually serviceable so just take it to a tech if that's the case.

if you mean that it picks up unwanted noises like doors opening and dogs barking and stuff that's normal with a large diaphragm condenser mic, consider a 57 or maybe pic related for your amp.

>>73574150
>>73574057
Thanks guys, this was helpful. It sounds better than before and this probably the limitations of the equipment. I might just invest in a 57 like you said.

>>73574135

>>73573594
Jazzmaster Body from Rosser Guitars: $115
Allparts Strat Neck: $120
American 65 reissue pickups: $100 a set
Fender Jazzmaster Tremolo: $50
Kluson Tuners: $50
Staytrem Bridge: $100
Switches/pots/misc hardware/pickguard: $50
Finishing supplies ($50+ depending on the finish)

So around $650 but you have a guitar that will be much nicer in terms of pickups and bridge, plus you get to choose the exact look you want. Stain finishes like the one in your pic are really easy to achieve. You've got to have some decent soldering experience and common sense when it comes to finishing to the body for it to turn out as nice as a fender product though. It's not hard you just have to do your research and take it slowly/practice on scrap wood. Assembling your own guitar is a pretty rewarding experience.

>>73574671
>you said was that I don't know what I'm talking about
Which you then admitted.

We were done a while ago but like I said, you're just too stupid to have realized it.

>>73574797
you are basing this off of the phrase "I think" which obviously I'm going to say when arguing about something that most would say is based on subjectivity. I was framing what my argument was because you clearly weren't understanding it, as you were attacking parts of it I wasn't talking about. I'm sorry you don't understand how these things work.

>>73574855
>based on subjectivity
Oh, now I see.

When you tell people an $800 guitar sounds just as good as any higher priced guitar you're presenting your subjective opinion as objective fact?

Wow, thanks for clarifying that!

>>73574938
I'm saying being in a debate is different than writing an arguementative essay. You have to use this kind of language when doing so, because you are arguing with real people about these kinds of "opinions" even if it's based on objectivity. You see it all the time in politics and just general debate.

i was listening while looking at something else and didnt even notice the change in guitars

the gibson is brighter and richer sounding, and has less low mid mud
how much of that difference is NOT due to the pickups?

>>73575118
i think the tuners and the fretboard should be the biggest difference. but its not so much of a difference that make you piss your pants

>>73575118
lower range gibsons are always shit. compare it to something in that price range of a different brand and you'd get a better comparison.

>>73575195
a R7 isnt a lower range gibson

>>73571351

Rick, absolutely

>>73574766
Damn that body is a much better deal than the Warmoth ones. I'll have to look into it in that case. I was thinking about going for Lollar or Curtis Novak pickups but I've heard good things about the American 65 ones too.

Thanks for the advice Anon. I feel reasonably confident in my soldering/finishing abilities too so that shouldn't be a big problem.

Also, last question before the thread hits the bump limit - are there stains I can get that will darken a lighter-colored wood like alder? For years I've loved the dark-colored look of this rosewood Jazzmaster but I gather it's not a common choice for guitar bodies and would probably be kind of a pain to find.

>>73575415
it depends more on the finish. but if you want natural finish maybe rosewood or blackwood but i think both are expensive.
you can finish your wood to look darker/different but i don't know exactly how this is done

Aniline dye is my favorite for staining works well with most woods, goes on really evenly..At this point I wouldn't even bother with anything else since it works so well. Oil based finishes will work too but can come out blotchy.

>>73575415
Yes you can get dark stains.

when you are staining each coat of stain you put on will make the finished project darker FYI.
