I could play a shocking pink guitar and not feel even the least twinge of being gay. This flowery Fender would have me questioning my masculinity, tho. It's like if I were a stoner, I couldn't puff on a penis pipe no matter how promising the high.

Absolutely hideous binding and inlays
But yeah, the quality is pretty good

>>74594666
Not so fast, Satan.

I think the binding looks amazing on certain colors. I think it fits the white finish perfectly, on some darker quilted maple finish it would probably clash. But yeah, I'd much prefer either dot inlays or none at all.

Done.

did somene tried mxr dist III in front of fender twin?

what are your must have pedals /gg/?

sure there's a bunch of articles and blog posts about this topic, but we're never afraid to beat a dead horse now are we?

for me, since my amp has built in fx

i'd say a good overdrive pedal and a wah pedal would fit my playing style, maybe i'd add some quirky pedal by earthquaker devices just to have a bit of zest

>>74596933
reverb for large church/cave sounds , phaser or flange for movement, looper for layering, ebow for sustaining notes, metal rods in between the strings for weird sounds

>>74597422
i can imagine my life without chorus. you know, all this fusion style

>>74598515

>>74598533

Nah not really. I only pirated it for the scale and chord games.

Post silly things that you believed when you were a beginner. I'll start off:

> fancier guitars will make you a better player
> thin and flat Ibanez Wizard type necks will turn you into a speed demon
> tube amps are a necessity for any serious guitarist
> you need a guitar that looks "metal" to play metal

>>74599087
>tube amps are a necessity
i agree with it. but nowadays i have a preamp

>>74598497
thanks anon
do you have any recs on what kind of loop pedal to get?

>>74592703
My tone is getting lost under all our instruments, I want to to keep my warm tone should I buy a hollow body?

>>74599087
>you need a guitar that looks "metal" to play metal
I gig with niggas in the 40s that still believe this

>>74599206
i use the ditto looper. really cheap and really easy to use. stores your loops and easy undo/redo. only problem is it only has 5 min of loop time, so it might not be the best if you're doing some crazy long prog shit

>>74599206
I like the Boss loopers because of the large size of the bypass footswitch. You can stomp on those motherfuckers anywhere on turn the thing on and off easily

>>74597296
Yeah I have. It sounds pretty y nice, really underrated distortion. Can easily do everything from light overdrive sounds to 70s/80s metal type of shit.

>>74599439
>>74599668
looking at the boss rc3, i like that you can add drums to the backing track

Just got my first bass (and first instrument in a decade). How'd I do? I was told to start with five strings because I have creeper hands and the fingers for it.

>>74599948
yeah that's a pretty good description of it, it's a bit tighter and less bassier though.

>>74592843
Music theory is the same for all instruments except chords sound like shit on bass

>>74600224
thats p. good dood, the 5th string isnt best for everything, but doesn't hurt either. keep up the practice! you can join most bands with only a little practice on bass. keep it simple my dude

Hey /gg/, wanted some help picking out a simple and versatile amp and maybe a pedal or two? Budget around 200-300.

On a side note - anyone with wrist injuries?
I want to start playing again - haven't played since i fucked my left wrist over in a motorcycle accident (I have a click and can manually move ligaments, bones, broken shit in it what have you) but besides that, It's been well over a year....

Preferred playstyle would be anything from math rock sounds, to metal but mostly looking for clean sounds.

>>74603745
My last 5 months of practise have only just paid off yesterday. My outside pick feels like an inside pick and my slant pause is almost unnoticeable. Now I have to practise harder so I don't lose my gains.

Tip: Attack your weakness!

>>74598176
chorus, delay, and reverb along with slight whammy bar use of you have one, but none of those are a necessity

Why are acousticfags so lame

>>74603248
negro... start slowly, only you know your wrist and how it will work. i stopped playing for 10 years and picked up guitar again 6 months ago. for first 4 months i had pain on my thumb and somewhere else and i never had any issues before even back then when i started to play as a teenager. but the pain went away slowly. just keep playing and try to stretch your hands as well. but you need to limit the amount of stuff you do at first.

I dreamed that I had a fuzz pedal. I want a fuzz pedal anons, I really want a fuzz pedal ;_;

But there's only a Boss one in the local store and people say those are too generic.

>>74603928
Uhhhhhh... What

How do I get that rough metal sound when I slide, anons?
Is there some sort of secret technique or what

Is this a good deal anons? Other ones are cheaper but this has a roadcase

I can kinda slap on guitar. But thumping/double thumb is easier to find rhythmic patterns with and you get less caught in the strings.
https://youtu.be/AsAytr9npkc?list=PLH22-xSMERQolPbs7jGqjLm-5Yl7QhQiT

>>74600224
5 is fine, it's the same width as a regular guitar, I never got why people say it's bad practice to start on 5, as long as you learn proper muting technique it's fine.

>>74605281
If I were a bassist I'd start with 5 as well. Doesn't make any reason to limit your playing only to 4 strings but that depends what music you actually play.

Where's a great source to sell my American Tele? I keep putting up ads that clearly states I'm only interested in selling but I keep getting contacted by broke ass motherfuckers that ask if I'll trade 1 great guitar for 5 shitty guitars.

/gg/, i need a recommendation.

i've fallen in love with guitars which are iconic, like willie nelson's trigger. the idea of owning a guitar for decades upon decades that molds itself with me is something i want in my life.

i have a few different things i'm looking for. i want it to be smaller bodied- dreadnought hurts the shoulder on my picking hand side. it needs to have a cutaway. it obviously needs to be solid top without a thick poly finish. i'd prefer it not to be preowned. i'd be willing to pay almost any amount for this guitar. thick necks aren't my preference but not a deal breaker.

any recommendations? i don't like gibson very much, their acoustics sound too thin to me. but maybe it was just the specific one i played. though i heard another one from an artist i liked and i also thought that one sounded like shit.

Martin OMC-15ME?

I just bought the 00015 (see >>74605445 ) which is the 000 size equivalent. Solid mahogany body with rosewood bridge, fingerboard and headstock. Has a satin finish, no gloss anywhere. Abalone diamonds on fingerboard and ebony bridge pins but otherwise very understated. Sounds fucking amazing and will last years, my one is second hand from 2014 and there's barely a a scratch on it. Also pretty cheap for a handmade solid wood Martin.

Place the pick in between the Low E and A strings and start the slide near your pickups and just move it down along the strings.

The relative minor of G Major is E Minor and the tonal center is E (everything wants to resolve back to E) so it is in the key of E Minor.

Why would an $800 guitar sound better than a $80 one?

quality control.
You could in theory find an extremely well made guitar for $80 but the chance is so low there's no point in trying.
Meanwhile an $800 guitar has an equally small chance to be garbage.

Higher quality hardware (properly placed bridge, tuners) made of better quality metal that doesn't wear as easily and is machined more accurately, better electronics (higher quality pickups, volume and tone pots aren't shitty and loose or crackly, cavities are shielded, soldering is quality work that doesn't look like some scorched earth battlefield), wood (accurately measured and cut, no loose neck joint) of a quality that is resistant to warping due to temperature and humidity. Also the material the nut is made out of and how it is cut.

And then there's fancy stuff that doesn't have to do with sound or how the instrument plays or how durable it is, like bindings, finishes, and fancy inlays and shart.

why

where do you keep your expensive picks /gg/

my guitar has been having some serious string buzzing (all frets and open) on a couple strings, however this issue only happened after i used a capo on it (happens when the capo is off)
any clue what it could be without having to head down to my local music store?

>>74610738
Why are those pickups shaped like fritos?

I use the same method as your attempt. Usually the mfg. will give you string lengths.

Z-coils. The frito shape cancels out the hum, creating a noiseless single coil.

its both wrists actually, holy shit

Jcm900fag here with a question to the pedalfags.

Im trying to decide what to do with my old dynacomo pedal. Its from the late 80s. Should i pay someone to bring it up to date(literally cant find an ac adapter.and battery clip is wonky) or by a new mxr dynacomp? Also why shouldnt i buy an mxr carbon copy as my first delay pedal?

>having no gear

Is the banjo easy to play? I want to get one and stick a pickup on it and rip some sick riffs.

How do I get a Jazz sound and A Psychedelic Blues Rock sound at the same time on a Stratocaster?

>>74612021
So Teisco, Lipstick, and Humbucker is a good combo?

I heard this guy is a great guitar player
myspace.com/shhadow74

So how do I continue practicing and learning on the Bass? I've learned Triads, The 12 Major Scales, and Arpeggios. I feel like I'm stuck, and not progressing. Should I just continue practicing these with a metronome?

>>74612099
If youre trying to male a freak versatile guitar sure. I had a daosy rock star shaoed guitar that i got for free and i tried it for shits and giggles it had a seymour duncan lipstick pickup that sounded real good lol

>>74612127
Learn some songs on bass

>>74612088

Just reset your router

I've never been "banned" for longer than 10 seconds

>>74612127

Is it worth buying a bass if I'm not getting lessons? I really want to play but I live in bumblefuck nowhere ATM. I have to make a cunt of a commute to uni so I only have around 2-3 hours of spare time each day (which I'm willing to commit to bass) the nearest teacher is at least a 2 hour drive away which I simply cannot do

>>74612162
I'll just do a Humbucker, Single, Teisco than. or buy a junk guitar and do it in it first to see how it turns out.

some parts are easy, some are hard.

like asking 'is acoustic guitar easy to play?' yea its pretty easy to strum some chords and keep time, but if you want to do anything that could impress other musicians you will need to practice.

that being said, i'm primarily a pedal steel guitar player. but the psg is heavy as fuck so i picked up banjo so i could make use of my fingerpickin and still get out to casual jams easily.

>>74611914

Would you recommend a 4, 5, or 6 string? I'd mainly be trying to play some serious hillbilly backwoods shit. 6 sting seems to just be a guitar.

Thoughts on their low end eight string?

Just ordered a Vox AC4C1-12. I need a reverb pedal, what get? Budget is around $100.

>>74613149
play the fender through an alltube amp

>>74613324
It's like any other Korean made guitar. If you are lucky that it stays in tune you will still probably need to change the pickups for something better. It's really easy to see how Dean jumped on the 8 string bandwagon now that they are bit more than a niche. Same thing with Ibanez etc. It doesn't matter as each and every one of the guitars are made in Korean sweatshop.

Thoughts on the Harley Benton B-450? I'm extremely poor atm but wanna get a bass and amp fairly soon. Worth buying or should I save?
Also, best cheap ish bass amp?

>>74613324
I really enjoy the guitars feel the neck doesnt feel like a shredder neck though its like a gibson original charvel hybrid not bulky and kinda flat but too bulky to be a shredder.neck. but its not even that bulky. It does feel bigger than a modern c neck. And on 8 string i will have no clue how it would feel.

first thibg i played today jist right now no warm up or anything. Improved shit chords because im trying to show how much a tone knob can do. This was on the dean.

Save.

If money is short then wimping out and buying something cheap and shitty now will just mean you'll have to wait even longer to get anything half decent.

>>74613429

Harley Benton is supposed to be alright for the money, decent first choice. If you are poor then no point in blowing piles of money.
My first amp was a Hartke 100 watt. The bass player in my old band used it for practicing and gigs and he thought it was ok.

>>74613570
Or you can be like roman and not actually own any gear. You can still pretend to be whatever you want.

>>74613570
>>74613595
I just need something good enough for beginner. Surely the bass won't be THAT bad that it's a total waste of money?

>>74613297
definitely 5 string

you'll need one with a resonator too if youre playing with more than one other person

yes most country/bluegrass is just 1 4 5 (or sometimes dom 5) with the occasional -6 so the basics are pretty easy. equivalent difficulty to strumming cowboy chords on a guitar imo
