Started 9 months ago on guitar.
palyed drums since 12.
played piano since 12.
plays the harmonica too.

this is what i bought, a Fender CD-60
cheap shit, but on a tight budget while studying.
Any tips for a new guy?
got all the basic barre chords fitted now, where do i go next?

kinda wish the headstock was reversed, but all in all I'm in love with this guitar. By far the best playing, and once I swapped the pickups, the best sounding guitar I've ever laid my hands on.
I was actually looking to get a red quilted maple one first, but it looks better than I expected with flat black.

I've my old ass Lenovo siting on top of a cardboard box plugged into a Casio, so it seems like cables laying around is the least of my worries. Also, I often move the piano and that's my only laptop, so zip-tying cables together doesn't make a whole lot of sense for me right now.

>>717581776
This was for you:
>>717582168

>>717582046
the jackson spear headstocks are so sweet. got an slsmg and a slathx7 myself.

>>717581979
Stop going for simple chords, get some proper melodic stuff going. Else you'll just be the douche at the party hated by everyone with even the slightest fiber of musicality in them there.

>>717582168
The cables laying around is not the problem. The cables themselves, with those adapters. Have some dignity, please.

>>717582315
I actually prefer single sided headstocks, especially reversed ones, but these are pretty nice for what they are.

Do you guys like the sounds of acoustic or electric better?

>>717582315
Also, pics, I want more porn

>>717582571

Depends on a lot of factors. It's like outweighing nylon to steel or bronze

>>717582319
Don't care about being a douche. I play the guitar because I like it, not because I want others to like me. Don't wanna be a 'look at me, im a rock'n'roller' faggot'.

>get some proper melodic stuff going
Any tips on how to get started? Any particular palce I should look?

>>717582571
This always depends on the application. What kind of question is this? It's like asking a painter what colour is the best.
>I mainly play death metal
I think you can figure out what I use the most, but that hardly means my death metal tone is suitable for everything.

>>717582394
Okay, fair enough... sorta. The adapter needed for the laptop headphone-out/mic-in is both entirely necessary; there's no laptop I'm aware of that has a thick gauge audio-out. As far as my headphones connected to the digital piano, yes, I suppose I could up my game there.

>>717582319
I tend to play with a buddy, he is good as fuck. I paly the basic chords and sing, he improvices. Great fun when high.

>>717582666
>I play guitar because I like it, not because I want others to like me
Good, that's a first step. The ones stuck in the 'strum simplified chords to songs everyone knows to swoon the ladies' are fucking cancer.

ultimate-guitar for tabs or guitarpro files. Find songs you like that sound reasonable to learn. At a certain point, you might have trouble finding stuff you actively listen to, so you'll have to play stuff you're not super into, but that's later on. Teach yourself how to mute strings you're not playing, that's something people often need to go back and learn because they didn't pay enough attention.
Torrent guitar pro 6 and pace songs down to a tempo you can play it in flawlessly, without effort. Then bump it up a TINY bit. This sounds time consuming, but it's way faster than playing sloppy 600 times and eventually getting it by luck alone, something you'll never be able to recreate without a backing track.
Also, always play with a metronome.

This is the one I play the most probably, I also own an acoustic yamaha with steel strings, a spanish starsound that is very poor, and a fender mexico strat 60-year anniversary edition

>>717582891
This will probably stunt your growth. It's fun, and to some extent a way to get into the groove and synchronization, but you actually need to challenge yourself, and you can't do that in a setting like that.

Very heavy too, it's an incredible strain on the neck and back to use for a whole concert. But so far I haven't had any troubles with it other than when I play jazz, I can't do a proper reach around with the thumb on the neck because it's a little too sharp

>>717583412
What would that do for me? The audio out from my laptop can be relative crap—I only need it to hear YouTube and the like while having my headphones on—as the MIDI interface on my laptop is connected via USB to the digital piano. Therefore, the only audio I care about being in high fidelity is the audio generated from my digital piano, and I've headphone directly connected to that.

>>717583266
I use ultimateguitar for tabs and such. I know how to mute strings and i love to 'play' along on blues backing tracks.
Do you think it will help looking at youtube videos?

It plays pretty much the same as any Prestige Ibanez or a little better due to the asymmetric neck profile. The body isn't as ergonomic though and I'm not a huge fan of the bridge either. I'm still happy that I bought it and it's also insane value for money. 799€ for a Japanese guitar that comes with Duncans and Gotoh tuners is the second best value I know of after Flaxwood Hybrid.

>>717586797
Indeed. Currently listening to this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIJ56d-8yPs
I think Sigh is my current favourite band. You Oshima and Shinichi Ishikawa are insane guitarists. The other members are also unbelievably talented.

>>717587383
Great stuff, anon!
Regarding the guitars, I always assumed I liked Ibanez necks the best, since they were what I always felt comfortable with. Once I got my Jackson I don't think I'll be going back to such thin necks again. They're great, but something is just so spot on with this. Would still love to try a Fujigen.

>>717591526

>>717591552
Probably depends on your playing position. I'm not a fan of V's for their aesthetics, but standing up, I don't see any problem with them as long as they're balanced. Sitting down is probably not that comfy, but really, no guitar is that comfortable sitting down.

I started playing when I was 14 because I essentially wanted to be Kurt Cobain. I looked up to that guy so much as a teenager and it had a huge influence on everything about me. Used to only play Mustang/Jaguar type guitars to imitate him. Love for Nirvana eventually led me to discover the 80's underground hardcore/punk scene and all sorts of weird alternative bands as I got older. Still love Nirvana and all those punk bands I mentioned but I've branched out a lot more now that I'm in my mid 20s.

Sold all my Mustangs/Jags now that I'm an adult and have to be financially responsible. This is my only electric guitar nowadays. Fender Pawn Shop Series '51. I love it

>Told a girl I could play guitar to get her to like me, picked up an acoustic so I wasn't lying, taught myself to play. We broke up and the only I took from the relationship was that I could play guitar now

Yup. I love the neck so much. Bridge PU is hot as fuck

>>717593812
They are very nice guitars, I wish I had one too

>>717593812
Nice, but why have 3 SGs, I can understand getting the 3 pickup model but why have 2 with the same hardware?

>i really want a multinac
no you don't. a friend of mine had the jimmy page SG model. heavy and unbalanced as fuck and totally useless for anything except playing the song remains the same and the rain song. i played it for about 5 minutes, put it down and never again. he tried to sell it to me. hahahahah

Because only one of them is a real Gibson

Actually I don't drink at all and statistically Finns drink less than Europeans on average... I do know how to fight though. We don't have the luxury of someone protecting us from Russians.

First I had the gibson, then got the black epi for a backup guitar. Then a week later the 3 pickup showed up at the local shop and it blew me away, sounds just as good as the gibson. So I put a knockoff bigsby on the black guitar. The gibson and black one are in drop C. The 3 pickup is my guitar for standard tuning. No excuses really. I think SGs are the most comfortable. I wouldnt mind owning a strat or a tele again.
