>Speaking of modding it, I'm getting the urge to turn it into a fretless guitar, replace the electronics, tuners and nut.
Do it. Then we can start a band with two fretless GIOs once I get my hands on a proper guitar, and do out of tune harmonies.

YES THANK YOU

5 pointed start should have 5 strings

I recently got this jimmy Vaughan signature for $370 with a fender molded case at a pawn shop.

It seriously looks like some kid got it for Christmas several years back and never played it. It still has remnants of plastic protector under the knobs and screws.

I think I got a steal.

You're trying way to hard to be Dream Theater
And Dream Theater is not a good metal band to try and emulate.

>>68197024
DT's not so bad, especially if you take out the voice, it gets much better. Definitely not the best progressive metal band though, far from that.

what is some good music for playing rythm guitar? most of the time I look up the chords it's just a minor d7 type shit

>>68196931
A year huh? My ass.

Shitty song tho

>>68198229
What kind of music are you playing?

Just for general use a vi-ii-V-I is solid, you could substitute the ii for a V/V or a vii*/V
You can always add 7ths to any of these.
For example in C
Am-Dm(DM or F#dim)-GM-CM

I believe it, the tone isn't particularly good yet and metal is simply not that difficult.

Really just have to listen to the music and figure it out if there isn't notation or even tablature.
Did you have a particular song in mind?
The hardest part about chord only songs can be emulating the rhythm.

I have the feeling that I just can't express myself with my current instrument. I'll have to find a luthier that'll build me a 7-string bass with partial fretting (3 highest strings fretted, 4 lowest strings fretless) with frets that have a smooth transition from jumbo on the highest to tiny on the lower string which then turns into a strip of metal as fret markers on the fretless side. Multiscale/fanned frets with slanted pickups (Humbucker Singlecoil Humbucker with a piezo in the bridge, coil split and seriell parallel for the Humbuckers, separate pot for each pickup), active electronics with a graphical 9-band EQ on the bass, hollowbody, headless, with a variable fingerboard radius that becomes round enough close to the bridge that you can use a bow on it. Rarewood top on an ash body with a 13-piece neck.
I have about 13,000$ available for this, do you guys know a luthier who is up for the job?

>>68199179
10s. I've used 9s and they were much easier to bend but I hated everything else about them. Will check out the video, thanks.

>>68198903
What are you looking to improve? If you want more chord voicings, learning a bit of theory will teach you how to construct chords.

>>68198799
I can bend with every finger because when I learned to bend I didn't realize a "proper" technique would be to use two fingers/my wrist so I just pulled.

>>68199360
You're nuts. But yeah i think you could find a luthier who would do it for that price.

Maybe just buy a midi controller instead though. Cheaper. More versatile.

I've got an OK chord progression that can probably do with a solo on the Am pentatonic scale, but no idea what to do for a chorus or bridge. Will post once its all done.

Mexicans are good workers, they usually do a good job because they don't want to lose their livelihood. I would trust them to build a guitar. With blacks they look at jobs as a nuisance or that they're entitled to money with low effort work.

No surprise Fenders quality control is way, way better than Gibson's.

I went on a tour of the Gibson factory a couple of years ago and about half of the workers were black. Sounds racist as shit to say but I truly believe this is why complaints about Gibson's quality control exists. Anyone who's ever worked with blacks knows what I'm talking about. They half-ass everything or do it badly on purpose.

>>68200992
You know who owns Gibson, right?
>Henry (((Juszkiewicz)))

The reason half the of the workers are niggers is because of the way the company's being run, extremely high turnover, no one wants to work there. You ever been to a Wal-Mart in the south? Same shit. Full of fucking brain-dead niggers.

Decent hard working white people don't have to put up with that kind of bullshit, a better job is theirs for the asking.

>after playing for 8yrs I can finally feel this songwriting thing slowly coming together

My guitar parts and melodies are developing and becoming more unique and interesting, I feel like I'm right on the cusp of breaking through into something I'd actually feel happy with putting out into the world. Arrangement and lyricism are next and that's pretty daunting but fuck I'm excited desu. If I work at it I really think I can have a soundcloud with a couple songs up (maybe a short ep even) by summertime. I'm passionate about playing and I know I have some talent and a little skill but I've always felt I was not really doing anything with it, I think I'm coming to terms with the fact that I have the ability to put out something I can be proud of

Also
>tfw didn't need to sell my guitar to make rent this month
nice

Who else /flamenco/ here?
I worked through my study materials consisting of two books and I think I have a basic understanding of the techniques now.

Does someone who also plays in that direction know some good songs to start with. I'm looking for some Paco lucia pieces but most I can find are together with a whole ensemble.

>>68199360
post a recording

>>68201313
No other outlets close enough :(

It's on a power strip with some other stuff (lamp, shut-off Gamecube and the amp itself) but I can't get it any closer than that. I've tried switching its position on the strip itself and got nothing

>>68201781
Close enough to what? Changing sockets on a power strip won't do anything. Just plug it into a different circuit and see if that fixes it

>>68201781
why cant you move it somewhere else?

>>68201887
I'm in a dorm with not much space.

>>68201886
Close enough to the amp. I'll see if there's somewhere else I can put it but there's literally like two power outlets on either side of this fucking room

>>68201618
Mood for a day by yes is a really good flamenco style song

How do I write depressing music that tells a story and isn't too slow? Any recs? I'll be drawing from personal experience for lyrics down the line.

>>68202193
That really depends on what genre of music. But uh, a general thing that helps me is to visualize the story in your head as you play. It sounds gay as fuck but it helps

That doesn't sound gay at all its a good idea.

Okay, so how about Am7, Am, Dm, E7 for the main chords, and maybe I'll switch to a major scale for the part after the chorus that only plays once (a refrain I think), besides that, hmm. What do I do for the chorus....

>>68202456
Do you have any recordings? I promise I won't steal your ideas...

>>68202456
Sounds pretty good to me. I think Making the Dm a Dsus2 voice leads nicely into the E7, though, but it's your song so do what you wanna.

I don't care about that, and even if you did I could write something else. My mic isn't on me unfortunately.

Just try playing the following:
Am7, Am, Am7, Am, Dm, E7

Thats a basic progression. You can write four lines of lyrics like a small poem with that. Give it a try. It works off the Am Pentatonic Scale, so soloing would use that same scale.

Ghost of Perdition by Opeth uses open D (DADF#AD). Kind of a niche genre though.

>>68203884
Sometimes by mbv has pretty odd tuning

i might buy this for my birthday because $109 but i don't know if it'd be a good idea because i'm already trying to learn bass guitar, should I ?

You can do things like put the eq before other pedals then turn both on at the same time to get a different sound than you normally would from a particular effect.

Also really handy for changing your tone instantly for a particular part of a song. Like say you play one bit with a slide and want different tone for that without having to change anything else.

>>68206312
The description on the guitar center site

I'm thinking of getting a Micro Terror, but I'm concerned about reverb since my current amp has reverb built in. If I get a reverb pedal and put it after the OD pedal will it sound good? What if I don't use the pedal gain but want to use reverb with the amp's gain, it's gonna sound like shit isn't it?

>>68206543
>not using the right image
What a fucking nerd.

Got a new guitar + amp today

secondhand (but like new) squier classic vibe tele in butterscotch blonde

action is really low and a few of the strings buzz, so i'll have to take it in to get setup i think. what kind of strings sound good on a tele?

>>68206543
I know this is bait but
>Bass guitars with more than 4 strings
E is a terrible note to end on. A piano goes a whole fifth lower and sounds fine.
>Black musicians
Most of the music you listen to nowadays was influenced by blacks in some way.

>>68206551
>Left handed
Might as well end it all now fampai

>>68207164
You should be able to fix that by raising the saddles. Setups can be expensive

>>68207254
rock and roll came from jazz, blues, and country

so like 2/3 of all rock comes from american negroes

>>68207497

Worst you could do is strip the saddle screws (if there is rust or you use wrong wrench) . Which in the worst case scenario you can just buy new US saddles for like $20. It's so easy dude just raise them with a small Allen wrench that should have come with your guitar

I've been playing for about month and a half and whenever I play now the skin on the tips of my fingers gets shredded and ends up getting caught going between the thinner strings.

I have callouses underneath but they look like I ran my fingers across a cheese grater. Is this normal?

>>68207505
But anon, it's all based on the European 12 tone system which clearly means that 100% of all blues, jazz, and rock comes from whites, not niggers
Do you see how silly this line of thinking is?
In music everything is borrowed from everywhere, no one can claim sole credit for anything.

>>68207979
Yes. Now quit being a sissy and play

>>68207979
your callouses have formed but you have dry skin, so instead of getting even stronger the skin dies and flakes off

moisturize and dont pick at your fingertips.

do you see how silly YOUR line of thinking is?

that's like saying all humans are direct descendants of primates. while true, it's deliberately skipping the regional and ethnic development of different races. just because modern music still uses the chromatic scale doesn't mean all modern music comes from the guys who invented the chromatic scale

rock/roll is a descendant of blues/r&b, jazz, and country, two of which (blues/r&b and jazz) was developed mainly by african americans in the early 20th century

though the rolling stones are truly the fathers of rock and roll, and a lot of white rock musicians were inspired by them so who knows for sure.

now go learn what intonation is, do it to your guitar, go practice, and shut us all up when you do something with your guitar, other than cum all over it.

>a bunch of retards who can't into basic music theory, who constantly ask "wut guitar is gud" can't detect a troll post

also, who gives a fuck about timestamp

>>68211263
A timestamp would show he actually owns the guitar, at least.

Awesome, very good guitar. a friend has a Silhouette and it's great. Shares the same neck finish that is so nice to play.
The amp is very good, the cleans surprised me the most, I expected them to be a bit lacking but they are excellent. Other two channels are made for crunch and lead in mind and it does that rather well. It's basically a superb Clean+Crunch+Lead amp. Not exactly the same as a IIC+ but very damn close, maybe near exact to a HRG. It's way better than the Mark V IIC+ mode for sure.

He complained about a $1700 guitar, not a $1000 one.

>>68211856
That's how much they are new. There're a bunch of used ones on reverb for ~1k. Either way they're fucking expensive and I don't see why they can't throw the finish on a cheaper model but that's just my opinion man

what strings do you guys like on a tele?

i like to play 60s/70s country rock/blues rock

Are fender blacktop hh jazzmasters any good?

but anon, blues and jazz comes from 18th century ragtime marching band music. which was invited by European Americans. stop falling for the "we was music kangs" and get your progresses cuck ass back to the music history textbook.

Any Hagstrom fans?

I'd kill for pic related, apparently it's one of those reissue's of the II that some guy worked on and made it look more vintage. been wanting to get a II or a III before the prices keep shooting up, right now i can get one for about 600-700 CAD

Is that centipede from somewhere? Definitely the ugliest Gibson I've ever seen and that includes the American Map guitar they made

Do you use with guitar or bass?

Hey guys a seller in my area has a cherry red with black pick guard mim hss strat for sale. It doesn't look beat up; he says he is selling to make cash. He is asking 200 dollars for it. Do you think it is worth it? I don't have a photo now because I'm on mobile, but you can google it. I prefer sss configuration, but I've never had a hss before. Pros and cons of each?

>>68212317
Mainly snowing, modest mouse, strokes stuff
But I would like to learn as much as possible of everything, I already have a squier JM, I just figured it'd be beneficial to get something with humbuckers

Extremely useful. If not for eq to be always on and to shape your tone, then use it just for a boost.
I use mine in the loop of my Marshall and it can cut the shrill, cut out certain frequencies that are feedback, etc.

>>68196931
aight dude guitar was awesome! lose the space chattering tho it's fun for a little bit butt it's to much imho.

>>68212109
I've tried a lot of strings and I think I've settled on .10 for gauge, since .11 isn't bright enough. I'm still trying out various sets. Right now I'm putting on some half rounds that seem like they'll sound great.

>>68215032

Can't beat the rumble m8.

what pickups are usually used for twinkly mathy tapping emo type playing? seems like usually teles but are they regular teles, or with humbuckers in the neck? I have P90's right now not really sure where to go from there
