Why do people run their guitar into a direct box then into an interface instead of straight into an interface for home recording?

>>74831925
no I leave that of nerd shit for the dry dicks

Question - About 10 days ago I had the shop put put on my La Bella Deep Talking Flats (.45 gauge) in place of the stock factory rounds of the same gauge. I've sighted down the neck and noticed there is an upward bow (i.e. lowest point is the 12th fret). I generally don't like high action on my guitars, but understand there needs to be compromise when having low action and no open string fret buzz. Basically, is this supposed to happen? I don't mind the action now but I'd rather not work harder than needed to get clean notes. Should I take the bass back in and have them re-adjust it?

>>74831675

Guitar Center will take a return for a factory finish defect, right?

Got my new SG, and the shit has some kind of hazy spot/scuff on the top bevel, looks like bad finishing or maybe moisture under the nitro. It's been about a week since it was delivered, just got back in state so I didn't get my hands on it till now. Can't call cuz it's 1 AM rn but I figured I'd ask gg

>>74834345
SGs and 335s are the only worthwhile guitars they've ever made. Les Pauls are archaic slabs, Explorers and Vs are poorly designed and have been outdone by other makers, and Firebirds are just never offered in a practical iteration. Double cutaways/LP jrs are decent, but at that point just get an SG.

Future world famous superstar guitarist

Hello fine people of /gg/, im looking to buy decent home studio monitors but i'm in a country which has some weird import restriction, for that reason the price of some products may be heavily distorted (some items may cost twice as much as they normaly do), for that reason im looking for as many speakers of comparable role as the
JBL LSR305 to see which one may be decently priced.(home studio around 50-70w mid to close range as flat as possible)

So far the only option i got is the Yamaha HS5. Could you recommend others?

Thanks in advance

>>74835023
Why? Consider this: I'm struggling with playing anything faster than 95 bpm 16th notes because it's really hard for me to pick all the notes accurately using alternate picking. Edge picking changes your sound, but if you would like to play some 140+bpm (or even more, up to 200bpm) licks then I don't think it is a good idea to stick with parallel alternative picking, it would slow you down. At this point, there is no point to "express" yourself because no one is going to notice it IMHO.

When I've tried pickslanting I've suddenly realized I could do much more than 95 bpm 16th notes if I just practice it for a bit. What was stopping me is the need to move the pick across the strings consistently. I can pretty much do 150bpm@16th on a single string. But when it comes to changing strings I end up stuck occasionally between the strings, even at slower speeds like 70 bpm, etc. My experience playing guitar is about 6 years at this point. I'm not practicing every day, however, I did when I've only started. Troubles with speed picking were kind of frustrating so I've spent less time on the guitar every year because I really wanted to play fast and beautiful solos and couldn't achieve that in a reasonable time. With pickslanting, I think I could give it a second try!

However, I do agree that if you play something easy (under 90bpm@16th) there is a way to improve your style/phrasing using different pick angles that allow you to introduce different sounds when you pick the strings. Definitely, you shouldn't stick to the only way of picking the strings. That is not the point of the Troy Grady's series. It just gives you another view on the right-hand motions when you feel like something is slowing you down and you couldn't understand what it is honestly.

>>74835778
maybe used american guitar. i'm not into them sorry, but beware of mexican fender, even pickup swap doesn't help

>>74835659
Epiphones are toys, MIM Fenders are literally the same parts as MIA, just assembled into a guitar elsewhere. I would record and tour with a MIM, would never use an Epi outside the bedroom.

What the fuck is the deal with augmented sixth chords? It just seems like a different way to name Dominant chords. For what purpose?

>>74837196

you're too slow. everyone have already forgotten this album

how do i learn to detect chords by ear when listening to songs ?

>>74837819
try playing different chords while lstening to the song. Is it simple music? Use basic triads. Does it sounds minor or major? figuring that out will help the process. I say try playing triads you know to the dong to see if chords match, this is a laborious and tedious process but it will make your ear better. A way to make this easier is to learn fundamental theory about chords and keys. learn where the notes are. Chords and progressions will come a lot easier when you understand keys, if you dont.

>get amp fixed
>replace old power tubes with new ones, sounds great
>play it for a couple months
>starts rattling

fuck this i can't figure out whether it's just something inside the amp rattling against something or whether the tubes are fucked

why do frets get wider closer to the headstock?

Damn I feel like I haven't made progress in so long. Why am I such a hack?

Here's my plan to start a band.

>have some guitar and vocal parts for songs written already
>make drums in FL studio or something
>record the bass based on my guitar and vocal shits
>record guitars and vox
>crudely mix and master
>make ad on Craigslist looking for bassist and drummer with similar musical interests to my musical interests
>send interested applicants a copy of my recordings

:)

so the distance on a string to get to each octave is half of the string you haven't covered yet

if an A string is 4 feet long, you'll get an A at 2 feet, then 3 feet, then 3.5 feet, then 3.75 feet, etc

so this means different notes are at smaller intervals on the string the higher the pitch is

anything more in depth would be "blah blah i didn't pay attention in my intro physics class"

>3 511/512 feet
>3 1023/1024 feet
>3 2047/2048 feet
>3 4095/4096 feet

>>74839384

That's pretty much what I do. You can find pretty good free acoustic drum samples online and then just roughly outline the rhythm of the song hit by hit. I've got a little less than a quarter of an album demo'd this way and more material written but not recorded. I don't plan to find any musicians though.

>>74835300
I don't get how you're supposed to downward pick slant and play lines only on the High E string without the edge of your hand touching the string and muting it. Do I just need to move my whole hand back behind the saddles or what?

You need two stacks of these, one for left and right ear. There's really no reason to get low wattage garbage because people can't hear you playing. The idea behind music is that it's for everyone and everyone should hear it.

>>74840411
It does... It just doesn't do it well yet.
Sometimes it shits the bed on chords, but it does intervals extremely well, and many triads very good too.

So you're getting one of these? Enjoy those pick slides and dive bombs.

Try large gauge strings, like 011/012. Stevie Ray Vegan used even heavier strings.

>>74842092
It has to be the camera but looks like the neck is bowed back, doesn't look straight at all.

>>74842110
Gets harder to bend, plus with the magnets farther away from the strings the pull they exert is lower, which doesn't affect sustain as much.

>>74842110
I sometimes play 6-7hours long gigs. Those strings would kill me in that time. But I use 013 on accoustic and its worth the time.

>>74842092
Also this: facebook /groups/158630457612042/
Fuck facebook but there are people complaining about the lack of quality of his guitars.

I think you would improve lot as a player if you play with heavy strings for a while. Vegan was a killer guitarist.

>>74839961
I don't think you have to slant it that much that you'd have to touch the string with the edge of your hand. I think the ideal angle is something like 45 degrees, probably less. The point is that most alternative picking (AP) schools say that you have to hold your pick parallel or a little bit angled to the strings and if you need to change strings then you have to use string hopping — completely different motion compared to the string picking. But string hopping with "standard" AP is really hard to speed up — so when you try to play really fast you would get to the point that you have to slant your picking hand in a way string hopping becomes much more easy to perform. That's how pickslanting become a thing I guess.

solely depends on the time you put into it. going from 0 music knowledge to playing most music comfortably would probably take 3-5 years.

However if you just wanna be able to hash out 1 or 2 songs as a party trick lol, that'd take like a year + the time it takes to learn solely that song

If my guitar is set up to be fit with .009 - .042 gauged strings, if I go with a larger gauge do I have to adjust my neck? Exactly how much wiggle room do I have with strings?

I was thinking of moving up to slightly larger gauge, some .046's or something but don't want to fuck around with my guitar neck

(yes, im kinda new to this shit)

>>74842901
Do you mean three note arpeggios of triads? You can shred anyways, economy is directional, you can go economy or alternate or rest picking. Refer to Django for rest picking.
I say economy is directional because I believe that is what you're getting at with the term. I may be wrong. But economy picking has you picking in correlation with location of string and pick, if the string is above your pick, you start the picking of that string with an upstroke, if below, with a down. Rest picking is starting with a down on every string change. You know what alternate picking is, if not don't economy pick. Each will have its own tone and should be implemented depending on phrasing.

>>74843458
measure how many space is between the strings and the frets when you press it at the 1st and 15th fret. then after you change gauge you tighten the truss rod to get the same amount of bow

>>74841210
If you can't google it, don't ask here. Alternatively: get a regular looper and make your own progressions
Or get a usb interface and use a DAW to do the exact same thing only more precisely and cleanly
Or teach your idiot younger brother how to do power chords
Beyond that idk how to help you, you could always make a baby and raise it to be an amazing rhythm guitarist, but by the time it actually gets old enough to sound good you'll be old and too exhausted and lame to be a cool lead guitarist anymore.
Have fun!

>>74843490
>If you can't google it, don't ask here
how silly to suppose people on /gg/ would know of cool links and resources!

>>74843475
I make a distinction between Economy Picking and Directional Picking.

Directional Pickings says if you are moving to a thinner string from a thicker string, you use a downstroke always. If you are moving from a thinner string to a thicker string, you use an upstroke always.

Economy Picking is essentially the same, but with fingerings that are worked out to keep the pick moving in the direction of the line.

I suck at describing it I guess.

The Key of E Major contains the notes E F# G# A B C# D#
These notes are played on these frets of each string as follows
6th string: 0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12
5th string: 0, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12
4th string: 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13
3rd string: 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13
2nd string: 0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12
1st string: same as 6th

>>74843458
If you only go up a little you dont really "fuck" around with the neck, if anything you give it a very minor truss rod adjustment.

>>74843577
I get the gist. Interesting. Will have to implement this into practice.

>>74843653
>>74843577

Re to me, reread what you said, and that's what I describe economy as, as you've described directional. Picking direction has to do with where the string is in relation to the pick. They're essentially the same things.
