/gg/ - Guitar and Bass General

I just made a video where I demonstrate a ghetto way to eliminate fret buzz. My guitar's a Gibson Les Paul Studio, for those wondering. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vHgjcPDph7o

>>75042716

Hey /GG/, I am in a noise band and would like to know if you guys knew about any unique sounding passive pickups

>>75043753

I know you're intentionally confusing homosexuality with effeminate qualities to attempt to get a rise out of me, but I have to politely decline commenting further on the issue and instead, post something actually relevant to the thread. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4jFgmG7SWSg

>>75043974
yeah except for the fact that its a quality that is characteristic of homosexuals

>>75042894
This is what happens when people who've only learned the three basic chord shapes try to do improvisation. Goddamn he has no musicality or flow whatsoever.

>>75043903

Look into the likes of Basic Audio, Throbak and Monsterpiece for a wide variety of takes on classic fuzzes, Smallsound/Bigsound, Fairfield Circuitry, Mid-fi Electronics, Fuzzrocious and Fuzzhugger for more adventurous stuff. There's a ton of other good builders out there, too, but I own stuff from all of the above and they're fantastic.

>>75042716
How to get rid of fret buzz? Learn to work on your fucking guitar.

>>75044647
Uhh, good comment. If you watch the video, I do in fact eliminate fret buzz, so I don't even know what you're trying to say.

>>75044724
You nigger rigged it. You but a bandaid on a bullet hole. Do it right.

Are there any other companies that manufacture their guitars in the US besides Fender, Gibson, PRS, and EBMM?

>>75044748
A bullet hole that, after applying the bandaid, stops bleeding. I even mentioned alternative solutions to the problem and state that it's only a temporary solution. Again, I don't know what you're trying to say.

>>75042716
why do people have their loose strings flapping around. does that not bother you?

>>75043244
What kind of amp? What kind of guitar? Is there a vibe you are going for?

Big Muffs are suited more for humbuckers and marshall-style amps. Rats are a decent starting point for single coil guitars and fender/vox-style amps.

What's an easy song you can learn to get p00sy?

>>75044875

Finger pick minor/Major seventh chords and improvise lyrics about how cool you are.

More realistically, learn how to rap. Rap ironically if you're not an authentic poc.

Every other time I play a chord my hand mutes the first string, how am I supposed to hold this goddamn thing

>>75044701

But seriously,

Reggie deserves the succ after this freestyle:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO1CCXXMzBI

>>75045122

Make sure your thumb is placed lightly on the back of the neck (generally around the center line of the neck vertically and close to your Index finger horizontally - don't let your thumb tuck in towards your middle finger or palm), your hand loose and open and making NO contact with the neck with knuckles or palm, your fingers arched and applying pressure with the tips (NOT the pads) immediately behind the frets you're playing. Once you have the proper hand position, it just takes small individual adjustments (and, importantly, learning to feel those small adjustments) to clear the strings for a given shape.

>>75045745

What?

>>75045797
If I have to place my thumb on the back of the neck how will I mute strings!!!

>>75045892

Primarily by [spoiler]not picking the ones you aren't supposed to play[/spoiler]. Most other damping and muting is controlled by said small adjustments with fingertip position and/or with the right hand.

>>75044788
you are forgetting George&Leo guitars

>>75045892
I made a video that I think might help. Also, you do most of your muting with your picking hand, not your fretting hand. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OL2YBgDSZoQ

So when you're strumming up just avoid those top two strings? Sounds pretty hard.

>>75046823
Support your hand by resting it on the bridge of your guitar, like you would for palm muting. It makes being precise with your picking way easier than letting your hand float in space. And, yes, playing guitar is incredibly difficult. Get used to it.

Any other top-wrappers here? I find it helps prevent strings from becoming unwound at the tailpiece.

>>75047596
I've never even considered doing that, but that might just be a good idea to try out on my Les Paul.

>>75047744
Lower the tailpiece screws until the tailpiece literally touches the guitar before you do this so the angle is right. This supposedly increases sustain but I never noticed a difference. I just do it to prevent strings from becoming unwound.

best bass brand for 5 strings?

preferably with some decent designs

>>75045591
I'd be interested to see how you expand upon that sound on an album. That second song sounds like the Strokes mixed with Boston to me. I'm also pretty stoned, so that may be why.

should I do it? Or ax8? Or look for 2nd hand? Or something else?

Am I the only person who doesn't really play the lowest string at all? I've pretty much abandoned it, I tend to play with it muted by my thumb most of the time.

It's maybe good for power chords, but those are for squares.

>>75051689

>>75051689
I actually like the AX8 better. It's a bit more intuitive and hands on and the only feature you really lose is the thing where you can diasychain two amps together or some shit which is a feature nobody needs.

>>75052037
I'd probably run it through my pc though so the audio interface feature is big for me for the axe 2. I already have a USB interface so I guess it wouldn't make much difference though really? Just run the ax8 into the USB and it would pretty much be the same thing I imagine

Plus having the foot switch as well is mighty handy

>>75052125
I'm not sure. When I had mine I just played it through FRFR monitors. I think the rule of thumb is Axe FX for studio AX8 for live performance.

>>75045591

Not at all. Sounds like generic noodling.

Looking for a new guitar and it's between a Tele and a Gibson 335, only question is does the 335 play loud enough acoustic to be played like that regularly?

>>75053361

>>75053362

>>75053961
yes superglue a shoelace on it

>>75053961
>>75053990
This, it also helps with fret buzz.

>>75053961
If you mean the strings have been cutting into the metal of the frets, take it to a luthier, but make sure to document the issues before you send it in, because if they don't fix it, you can ask them to refix the issue without having to pay them again. If you mean that the string itself is dented, just loosen the string and retighten it. It won't necessarily fix it, but it might move the bump to a place where it won't mess with your playing.

you better off sucking dicks and kissing men gayanon

>>75053990
>>75054000
will do thanks

>>75054003
yeah strings cutting into the fret, can't really afford a luthier for now and it only affects one note on the whole fretboard atm. But i will end up taking it in sometime in the next few months

>>75054042
please report when you do it, i'll be here to help with any issue ok

>>75054042
Yeah, super glue plus some sort of binder is going to probably work. Here's a video about fixing the nut, but the same concepts and techniques would apply. Just be real careful not to let the glue seep into your fretboard. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=slCMkvEfK_U

I always laugh when I see some dumb shit buy a cheap guitar and immediately start "upgrading" it. They usually start by asking for replacement pickup suggestions. It's like why, you dumb fuck? Why did you buy a guitar you didn't think sounded good to begin with? I'll tell you why: because you don't know what the fuck you're doing and you have no clue what the fuck you're after. You bought some retarded piece of shit because of how it looked in a picture on the internet and then when you got it home and actually played it ..it sounded and played like straight up ass. So you started "upgrading" it instead of admitting to yourself that you don't know shit and made a mistake, or that the guitars construction was so shitty that you didn't have any other choice but to "upgrade" it to make it a playable instrument. Here's the thing though: you could have just saved all the time and money you sank/wasted into "upgrading" a piece of shit and just bought a decent guitar to begin with. You bedroom warriors are a hilarious lot, watching you flail about trying to polish turds into diamonds. If a diamond is what you wanted why didn't you just go out and buy a diamond to begin with?

Because you're fucking stupid, that's why.

What would be wrong with learning the guitar in this way:

Take all strings off a guitar except the high E string. Play only that string for an entire year.

The next year, add the next string, play only those two strings for a year.

6 years later, you'd have learned all the strings, one by one, up to a full guitar.

>>75057666

You'd learn chords starting in the third year when you had three strings, dude.

Seriously, this is a good way to learn the guitar.

>>75057531
Garbage all sounds the same to me. It's fag shit.

>>75057540
>6 years later, you've learned all the strings

You say that like every string is played in a different way. That wouldn't help you.

>>75057696
Sure. It's all about conditioning. In the same way you get used to holding chords, you'll get used to standing playing and holding your wrist that way.

>the pole configuration meant he had the wrong pickup

Only problem is that's exactly what it means. The high and low E strings should fall on the outside of the polepieces on a bridge humbucker, pic related.

Retardimus Prime has a neck humbucker in the bridge and he's too fucking stupid to realize it. That's why the high and low E pole pieces are falling on the outside the strings just like they do on the humbucker in the neck.

>>75057659

>>75057540
I don't see why this wouldn't work but you would have to learn to use the strings differently each time you added one. First year would be melodies and big jumps on the fret board, picking. Second year simple harmonies and intervals. Simple chords the next year, etc.
You would find it difficult to play other people's stuff for a while though.

It would be an interesting experiment, I'm not sure how it would turn out but I bet the string/year twin would be the more interesting and original player.

Too late, I've already taken the strings off my guitar. I'm piggybagging this approach onto another non-negotiable 7 year plan I'm currently stuck in.

This is gonna be great.

By the way, I listen to a lot of celtic guitar and lute music, so I think this approach will definitely work for that.

EQ, mixing, production, all that shit doesn't matter. People still listen to music from the 30s and 40s recorded on microphones that are the equivalent of what you'd buy at walmart. Stop caring about that crap.

>>75062480

nah, you mean for pretentious people who want to show others that they know a lot about music. no one else notices or cares about that stuff and those who DO, like you, are just bullshitting and pretentious

eq and all of that is the musical equivalent of tasting wine or appreciating fine art. Expert wine tasters have been fooled with cheap wine, grape juice mixed with vodka, etc, and those who appreciate fine art have been fooled by art painted by monkeys and children. Same thing for people who act like they care so much about eq and mastering and so forth.

Don't buy a thousand dollar bass if you don't know shit about basses.

If you enjoy playing guitar you'll get by. You're essentially asking if you have interest or not. If you truely do, you'll go for it out of curiosity.

How do I adapt a Tune O Matic bridge to a Stratocaster body that has a regular strat bridge? Obviously I need to fill the wood and shit but I can't find any actual guides online.

sold all my amps and bought a better PC so I write sick beats and get all pussy

>>75069938
I lucked out and did the same with a tele.
That said, go to a pawn shop and pick up a strat knockoff and use that to practice and experiment on until your craftsmanship is perfect. Or buy an ash tele body on eBay or something.
Sry im not much help but what you're trying to do is out of my range, but from where im at I don't think it can be pulled off well.
Last resort, beat the shit out of the instrument and go uber punk on it to where every aspect looks nigger rigged and shifty, then no one or yourself will care about what it looks like. It'd still sound like shit though.

tl;tr - Buy a blank strat body.

>>75069938

Fill the wood, drill the holes, shim the neck and, most importantly, drill for a new ground wire.

It's a massive job and you're better off buying a new body.

>>75069938
pretty sure you could get away without filling the trem cavity. Just drill the holes for the new posts (measuring 25.5") and put the tailpiece below the cavity. It'll look like shit but it'll work.

said after 6 years you've "learned all the strings" as if each string is played differently. It doesn't make any sense. You need to learn how to combine strings immediately or else you'll learn slower.

>>75072426

>You need to learn how to combine strings immediately or else you'll learn slower

This seems unsubstantiated at best and ill-considered. Most things people do in life they start with some simplified version to accelerate learning at the start. Why should musical instruments be any different?

>>75072492
What would you learn with only one string? No scales, no chords. Just picking and fretting singular notes.

>>75057540

Any kind of "spend years study one minute part of something" is bullshit. It doesn't take that long to get good.

Slash started playing guitar when he was 14, joined Guns N' Roses when he was 19 and recorded one of the best records of all time when he was 21.

It doesn't take six years to get awesome at guitar if you're diligent, and advising anyone to spend six years just getting accustomed to the strings is fucking retarded.

What the hell is someone going to play on the high E string for a fucking year? That's not going to accomplishment anything but discouragement. It doesn't even teach you how to finger and strum a chord, which is a crucial foundational skill.

Are you fucking stupid? Have you never played guitar before?

>>75072536

>Scales don't exist on one string

>>75072593

Why?

>>75072587

But it has all the features you described after 3 years and has the advantage of a better understanding of the relationship between strings and the relationship between notes in a scale.

>>75072649
>But it has all the features you described after 3 years

The problem here is you have no concept of time. After three years of diligent playing a player should have a command of all six strings and the basic chords and scales. You're encouraging extremely slow progress for no real benefit.

>>75072675
This. A guy with all 6 strings from the beginning will have learned more than the other guy.

Also the thread is about to die.

>>75072675

You don't think they will have a better grasp of intervals on the guitar which will aid in learning chords after spending 3 years learning them than someone who has spent 3 years learning that that first fret bar chord is an F, second an F# etc?
