For example, key of C is made of:
C, D, E, F, G, A, B
The first note is C, fourth note is F, and fifth note is G,
Now look at the fretboard, see where those notes are positioned.

>>75019888
I just think relatively. If I want a major sixth from a tonic, I go up two strings and down one fret, or up one string and up four frets.

In terms knowing which fret represents which absolute pitch, I'd say I only really know the fifth and sixth string by heart.

How do you clean a maple fretboard? Do you just use the same polish you use to clean the guitar's body?

>>75019967
I play mostly on clean channel; Even if wood affects tone, it's not in the way you could predict it. Nut, frets and most importantly, strings, have much bigger impact on sound

Any advice on learning mandolin?

Not sure if right thread but /diy/ told me to post here.

I was considering after being inspired by Choro Club music in various animations. (Aria, YKK) as well as their own regular albums.

Is it possible to play these kinds of songs on normal mandolin or do I need to track down a Bandolim?

I also like various kinds of folk music/civil war era music from USA.

I have tried to learn guitar in past to varrying degrees of success but overall I have forgot most of it.

Any advice on first instrument or book as well.

Example of choro club music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KozJ0Wlqkd8

Everything you see in that picture costs 150 bucks. Yes, 150 bucks.

>Because I deal. I work out things that might work, I build good kits with cheap. second hand parts so that I can make something at least work.

Also, I am, like the other guy said, mainly a guitarist. I play drums to learn music on multiple instruments, because I don't wanna limit myself.

I am 17 years old, dude. No relative/family/other finances or sponsors this shit. I have to study, work and save money for this shit, because I love it.

All I wanted was to initiate conversation and discussion, but you shit on everything. /mu/ is a shithole and that's why people like you come here to hang out.

cya at the RNR HOF

Should I learn drums?
I feel great on bass and want to continue improving on it but I feel most bands (especially in my area where there is only 2-3 guitarists) could do without a bass and there are probably only 2 drummers in my area, and even then they are hardly what I would call amazing.

The high-strap thing is the correct technique for standing guitar, because it holds the guitar at the same height you play as when you're sitting down, which is how most people practice, and also naturally the best playing position give that the instrument is to an extent designed around the body, which is why the most basic acoustic guitar is shaped like a peanut or what have you.

Hipsters usually don't know about that though, and for them it's because they think it looks cool.

Ok /gg/, I've played guitar for about 12 years and I want to get my first bass and bass amp. Let's say I have $1000 to spend on a bass and $600 to spend on an amp. What do I buy?

>>75023958
Oh yeah, the bass amp will be used almost exclusive for home practice or small rehearsal spaces.

>>75023958
Get a Bassman or full-range modeller and save cash.

Also, don't spend a grand on an instrument until you've stuck with it for at least a year - this is coming from someone who earns that in two days.

>I have a high enough wage that I'm not concerned about the $1000
Literally what I just said about myself. I used this to preface the idea that...

Regardless, I'd recommend buying a sane starter instrument first and buying something decent after a year.

Can't give you any recs, I'm afraid. I'm one of those guys that says "no, you're wrong" without addressing the question that was actually asked.

That said, maybe listen to my advice about amplification if you actually have a budget - which was the impression I got from your first post.

Protip: don't ever buy gear from professional musicians. The only reason a professional musician would ever sell a piece of gear is because it didn't sound good enough to hang onto.

Try to think about what you want to play/sing. Then, decide what will be the emotion attached to it. Good luck

>Not wearing your guitar high to compliment your slim figure.

>>75028238
your play defintely isn't bad, in fact it's one of the better demonstrations of skill I've heard on here, but the song itself is nothing special honestly. The progression isn't that engaging and the quick fills between the changes can feel a bit cheesy honestly. I think if you tried something less flashy and more suited to the chord progression than just a little wank between chord changes it'd benefit the song a lot.

>>75028984
Well thanks senpai. Tbh this is probably never gonna be revisited because it's really just some drunk noodling but maybe I'll come back to it and work more on the progression rather than the cop out fill shit.

I just got kicked out of my brother's house where I lived and he threatened to call the cops before I could manage to grab all my stuff. but thankfully I was able to grab my guitar and amp.

Just gonna throw this out there:

An old video of me jamming. I'm looking for some rad musicians to collaborate with. I'm open to any project ideas. Just leave a comment I suppose on my video and I'll contact you.

>>75028238
Sounds great. Idk why people on here talk shit. These people have dark souls. They need help. I should pray for them... but in all honestly they just don't get it. They need to realize how they look.

>>75030112
I was kicked out a few months ago. I practiced guitar for a week, but after that, didn't play much at all until just recently. Don't give up.

>>75028238
"Guise listen to these 24.5 measures of bullshit XD it's going to be my big new song"

Stop playing guitar and leave it to the people that know what their doing

>>75030629
What the heck is wrong with you my dude? His recording sounded just fine.

All shit talkers suck st what they talk shit about. Why do you suck my dude? Is it because you would rather talk shit and bring people down to your level or do you just lack the confidence and self discipline to become proficient at something?

All you gotta do is practice. There's no secrets.

>>75030629
>Being this much of an elitist.

Record an original track for us and post it senpai. I wasn't aware we were in the presence of a master guitarist. Go on we're waiting.

>>75030656
>>75030686
He asked for opinions and I gave mine. It's not my fault it's a super basic chord progression sloppily put together and laced with the shittiest attempt at fills I've ever heard. It's not good at all and OP should feel bad for even thinking it was worth posting. It's literally just 24.5 4/4 measures of sloppy dadrock. Get over it.

>>75030773
You must be really fun at parties

>>75030773
Why critique it like that? What were you expecting it to be?

If I recorded myself playing C G Am F with no inversions, 120 bpm quarter note block chords. Would you sit there and talk shit about it or would you just accept it was what it needed to be?

That's exactly what's wrong with almost all of you on here. So many people sit here and talk shit like it's nobodies business.

Guys, stop taking the bait already

>>75030898
... fuck this is me. I love G

>>75028238
Its not amazing but it deffo sounds nice, everyone on here is just literally a guitar god so no one is impressed.

>>75028238

Sounds like generic noodling around cowboy chords.

Should I really care about guitar nut material? Is that ok to have just a simple plastic one?

How do I learn to acquire a 'toolkit' of blues licks/riffs? Any good books on it?
I'm mainly interested in acoustic blues but any blues is cool.

>>75028238

seriously though, this is nothing worth showing whatsoever. maybe with some amazing melody and great backing, but by that guitar by itself is just a sequence of chords with some twiddling that nobody needs to hear.

>>75020046
A good tip from Eric Clapton is to soak a cotton ball/pad in rubbing alcohol and rub it onto your fingertips once or twice a day.
You can also get a used/expired credit card or gift card, basically any hard plastic card you don't use anymore, and press your fingertips onto its long side edge, while bracing the other side against your palm. Change your finger position every now and then to cover the whole fingertip.

I'm between a blacktop Jazzmaster, blacktop Jaguar and standard MIM Strat. Anyone got anything to say about the blacktops? I used to have the blacktop strat HH and it was better than a standard by all accounts but now I can't seem to find another one. I like offsets but the jazzie has a non block tailpiece which i'm afraid will be shittier quality, and the jag has a stoptail and I kinda want a trem... idk maybe this is all too vague

>>75032383

No, it's actually amazing, you sound like you're consciously avoiding any character whatsoever. It's almost insulting, because you really can move your fingers around pretty good, and that's how you choose to use it. It sounds like years of playing with no inspiration whatsoever.

>>75032549
I'll post a clip of my playing.

But only if you beg me.

how do you learn to play and sing at the same time? im talking about things that are more or less complicated.

is there a good progression of popular songs to learn to play and sing at the same time?

>>75032718
please pretty please play something please im humillating before you im on my knees kissing your feet please grand master of the guitar please let us feel the might of your music at least one time pleaaaaaseeeeeee

>>75032028
Might affect string return after bending which would make your guitar more likely to go out of tune. Just put graphite powder on there.

Why can I hear the difference of chords and in which key the song is in, but can't do the same for each note? Isn't that supposed to be easier?

>>75028238

Very nice clean playing. Remember to have the vocal melody inbetween the fills (like call-response).

>>75033191
I think chords are just, like, bigger or something. Like, you can just hear more of it. A single note like has no context in the shit dude. it's just some tone. it's not like a big thing that you can see all of it and where it goes and how. like it's just some ding. So i would say flex your ears more

>>75019426
Yeah I figured it out today do a C Major Scale run. Now use those same octaves that fit in that scale box and do this until you remember what's on the fretboard. The rest is playing songs and intervals,rhythm, and speed, WALA

Hey guys, I've got something nagging me and pissing me off for years now, I hope maybe you may have some advice.

I play Bass and Guitar, but cannot dedicate myself to either thing fully because I have an odd problem.

When I play guitar, I tend to want to use mostly just the lower pitched strings, but when I play the bass I end up wanting to play the higher pitched strings. I keep switching back and forth between both things and it feels a bit like being stuck between clothing that is too big or too small, without ever finding the right size.

Is there anything that could be between both instruments in terms of low to high pitches? What can I do? It seems I want something that doesn't, or shouldn't exist. What do you recommend?

At this point I'm just baffled.

>>75035234
get a baritone guitar, a bass vi or just git gud

>>75035256

I tried a baritone electric guitar at some shop and for some reason it seemed to be the worst, and not the best, of both worlds. It was quite pricy though, so I don't know what to make of it. It almost seemed like the amp wasn't designed to deal with all those "basslike" sounds. Maybe I was just "unlucky"?

I'll get on googling "Bass vi" though.

It seems that "Bass VI" is a particular bass model that was at a certain point built. In generic terms, is this exchangeable with any "6 string bass", or should I be looking specifically for a bass that is "like a Bass VI" (I could not afford the real thing yet).

It sounds beautiful. Also thank you.

>>75032974
But what about affecting my guitar's tone?

Work on your pulloffs, thats a good start.

I hate the way the music stops for that thin little trill. It worked at around 38 seconds, though, when you held the last note. The rest is good. Second half is better than the first. Look at all your replies... I wonder if anyone is jealous.

I think making a USACG order was a mistake, made my order in May, haven't heard anything from them.

>>75032084
Plenty of books/videos at your disposal, and that route is okay

Personally I'd suggest learning specific songs, especially the solos and fills. After you do a few of those you'll probably notice common licks/runs and how they're used in the broader scope of a song.

You need some kind of gimmick. You got no tits and your playing isn't anything remarkable so you need to do something else outlandish to compete. Like let slugs crawl all over you while you play or something. I don't know, I've never been interested in the YouTube game so I wouldn't be a good source of weird ideas that would generate interest.

>>75035412
>In generic terms, is this exchangeable with any "6 string bass",
No, standard six string basses are set up to be tuned completely differently. If you want a Bass VI, you need to get a copy of one, and there are a few makers that put them out for somewhat reasonable prices, like Squier and Schecter. I think Thomann even makes a house brand model.

Looking for a good acoustic guitar from 500-1000 dollars. What does /mu/ rec?

>>75041375
the top yamaha cpx within that price range

>>75041375
What kind of guitar do you want (or what kind of sound are you looking for)? That's actually not a bad budget (it's when you start running into well-built, all solid guitars), but in that price range you start running into guitars that cost more because of bling, and that complicates things.

In general, Eastman, Yamaha, Guild, Blueridge, and Recording King are pretty solid in that price range.Taylor also makes a few models in that range, but they have incredibly thin necks and sound very bright, which makes them polarizing.

/r/ songs to cover (either yt guitar covers or fullband covers)

>>75041470
My preference would be a solid all around guitar, seeing as I play many genres on it (Classical, Jazz, Rock, Folk, etc.)

>>75041375

French-Canadian guitars are pretty good value for money. E.g. Seagull and Simon and Patrick

tfw dont practice anymore and just shitpost and watch porn
i still did exercises almost every day until one month ago
it just took gettin slightly gud to become careless

>>75041539
>solid all around guitar
No offense, but that's not really helpful when it comes to acoustic guitars because it's much harder to use something like effects or an amp to make an instrument more versatile. Dreadnaughts are the most popular shape, so they might be a good starting point, since it seems like you don't really know what you want. It's also worth looking into guitars with smaller bodies, since draughnauts sometimes have an overwhelming bass that doesn't work well for some things; the more balanced sound of an 000 or OM style guitar might be better as an all purpose-type thing.

Either way, something in Yamaha's L series or Eastman's E6 series would be a good choice. Listen to some demos and play stuff to figure out which model you want; I'm a big fan of the LS16m and E6OM.
