>>68377381

Well thanks Mr. Anon but I didn't wait for your approval to buy a guitar online.

should i get a classic vibe tele for 250 or put that 250 toward pedals and shit for my tele?

also why is everyone on leddit shilling for the cv? i've had liek 5 different people tell me they're way better than mim strats :\

Anyone have any experience with these? I was watching Deerhoof's Rig Rundown video recently and saw Ed Rodriguez uses one of these through a generic 1x12. Not sure if that's what they were using when I was saw them live in 2014 but their setup sounded gr8 then. They're $300 new and seem like the most practical thing for my situation.

>>68377550
reddit is usually great for faq/intro-type info on a topic but for some reason /r/guitar is fucking stage iv cancer. never trust anything posted there.

cv tele's are fine but what are you playing now?

>>68377653
on a cv tele right now

i like it well enough but i find the strat body a lot more comfortable to play sitting down, whcih is my preferred setup.

Whats a good light overdrive for jazz?

have the sender request a signature confirmation or have it picked up at one of the shipping stores.

>>68377936
>Whats a good light overdrive for jazz?

Literally any overdrive since you don't need complex breakup or anything like that. The soul food (klon clone) is really good for the price.

Anyone ever tried to blend a clean signal and a boss HM2 ? I'm curious about it, but I don't have an HM2, I think it could sound interesting.
Why do so little distortion pedals have a clean blend anyway ? It's most likely not that hard to wire.

They started to suck after Taylor left the band.

As great of a rythym guitarist as Keith Richards was, he was an absolute prick to Taylor and was always jealous of his playing. Those three albums they did together showcased the band at it's tightest.

I read once that Rory Gallagher was asked to join the band after Taylor left and actually flew to England to rehearse with them. He decided not to after seeing how fucked up everyone was on drugs. Now THAT would have been a dream team.

>>68377936
The Boss SD-1 is a great OD pedal for blues and jazz rock. I usually set the tone all the way down and keep the gain and volume at 12 o'clock on mine. You can get some awesome sustain with that setting.

It can be a little rough sounding with the stock components, but if you get the Keeley mod for it, it'll sound even better. It's not a bad pedal at all. I've had mine for four years and don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon.

>>68378045
>he was an absolute prick to Taylor and was always jealous of his playing

i highly doubt that, from everything i've read about keith he was very happy as the rhythm guitarist, and actually wasn't very comfortable being a 'rock star' like mick was. maybe there was some friction at times, but that's pretty normal.

>>68377936
>not p90 neck/humbucker bridge

weird but i prefer seeing this to another fucking faded lp. in addition to the ones already suggested a boss bd-2 would probably also work well.

Is worth shelling out $250-300 extra to get a Deluxe Reverb over a Hot Rod Deluxe/Deville? I don't really need the extra features with the latter and want something that's both reasonable for playing in a house and gigging eventually.

Can't go wrong with the old Blues Driver in my opinion. Gives you everything from a gentle nibble to a sharp bark.

>>68377936
Does it jangle?

Anyone here familiar with amp modelling pedals like AmpliFire, POD HD etc.? Strongly considering trying something like this put, but after looking online, I see a lot of people claim that they'll only sound proper through a PA or a keyboard amp, as a guitar amp will colour the sound too much, even if you're just going in through the effects loop.

>>68378577
THis is pretty normal and if you're asking if it's ok, it's ok

>>68378806
I'm just looking if someone else here does it.
Good to know.

>>68378799
It's not intended as multi effects unless you disable the modeling bit. It's like you're mic'ing up an amp and feed through another amp if you don't, of course it'll sound like arse.

>>68378765
what a bunch of insufferable bastards

It took me like a month to get my first finger to barre, is it essential for the 2nd and 3rd as well? I'm finding it impossible to do some chords like E maj 9

>>68378577
I use 13s on my strat and 12s on my lp/jag/es339 all in standard e

>>68378942
13s on your strat, 5 springs to hold back the trem or did you block it?

I'm thinking of going up from 11s but 13s might actually really make shredding harder with that much tension.

Is it worth it?

>>68378957
no thats fucking retarded

i would never put anything thicker than 10s on a strat. if you want thicc toans play an lp or a tele. strat is a cutter. when i flick to the bridge i am ROLLIN, baby, and everybody in the venue is gonna hear my tasty licks

whereas on my tele i just crunch rhythm on the middle position

>>68378986
I'm playing on a tele but only 11s

>>68378939
RX Bandits and The Sound of Animals fighting (Matt Embree, Steve Choi) do this a lot, if we're thinking about the same thing.

My Pod X3 has an output switch for amp or direct. If you use the amp side and run the amp clean, it sounds just fine. You can also tweak it and run with no cab on the model and this works well too.
I have presets for both amp through and headphone through, I think just because some doofus got it sounding good through headphones, then plugged in an amp and got shit, he then blamed the POD for his fuck up, and the meme stuck. These can be very complicated or simple devices depending on how much effect is layered until it just sounds bad. It's just better to keep a simple signal path.

We all love Richards but the truth is he was a heavy drug addict back then, I wouldn't be surprised if he was an asshole at that time. Taylor did the right thing, although I do agree that the five albums they recorded with him are their best era.

>>68378045
I fucking love Gallagher but not even him could have saved the band at that moment of their career, they were meant to suffer the consequences of their lifestyle. Once they got over it they started making good rock music in the 90's.

If only Rory was still alive today.

I need good prepboards.
I want to make pedals but I can't be arsed to go through all that designing stuff right now.

>>68378547
The deluxe reverb is 22 watts and the Hot Rod Deluxe is 40 so the deluxe would actually be more reasonable for at home playing and trust me it's also loud enough for gigging unless you're playing drone metal or something.

>>68380200
As much as I like a properly set up Floyd Rose, floating trems can be a tremendous pain in the ass. Besides, you still get the fine tuning keys on the bridge, they stay in tune much, much better and you can finally do those sweet double bends without sounding like shit.

I don't think there's any I really hate, the word's too strong for that. I do think "classic tones" are boring.

>>68380229
guitar pro, tabs and recording yourself into a DAW will be more useful, the tracking in Rocksmith isn't perfect.

>>68380374
He's one of my favorite guitarists ever. Maybe he didn't get as much recognition as other contemporaries, but Jimmy Page could only dream about being as nearly good as him.

My favorite is probably Deuce, coming straight from Taste he was at the right place at the right moment. Calling Card has some amazing hits too, and there is something charming about Blueprint's raw playing. My father got me into him, he saw him live back in the 77 and still claims to be the best guitarist he has ever seen live.

>>68380479
I don't know, I love Keith but he surely had his bad moments too, and drugs don't help with that. I'd trust Taylor's on this, the band was probably going really down.

That wouldn´t make kerry king not atonal. I would say makes it more atonal actually as fusion atonality tends to be well thought to sound in a way which at the end will resolve into key, which will make the off key elements related to the key in one way or another. Kerry king sounds just random shit unrelated to the key, which makes it actually more off key . Also, i really doubt he doesnt know his shit. Early slayer solos tend to be more tonal (check out the show no mercy stuff like the antichrist... and some songs in seasons in the abyss also).

>>68382114

>>68382166
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nczS0YAtl5I

Kerry King is simply not atonal, being atonal does not simply mean playing it wrong key, it means avoiding any kind of tonality(it also tends to sound like you don't know what you're doing even if you do).
Kerry King always falls into some kind of tonality, some 12 tone rows accidently do it even.

Is it possible to lower the action on an acoustic?

>>68382279
3 ways. Truss rod, nut and bridge. Truss rod can be adjusted, nut and bridge can be filed down or have shims added to lower/raise action.

>>68382345
truss rod is for adjusting string relief, not action. you should always adjust action at the bridge on any guitar or bass, and most of the time you shouldn't even have to touch the nut.

>>68382369
It's part of the action if the neck is bowed. I was assuming the poster wasn't a total and complete retard.

>>68382345
Buy another nut to change it in wet seasons (when guitars tend to absorb water and the bridge is raised and so is the action). It is the easier way really.

>>68382279
A couple ways, but you have to be wary that the guitar itself(woods all the way around) are correct.
Your nut might not be filed enough, requires particular size files.
Your saddle might not be low enough, taking some material off could help, requires knowledge and some fine sandpaper.(mark how much material you want off)
Your neck could be bowing a bit, take relief out or put some in using the truss rod.

If none of those helped, then it's a bigger issue.
Your bridge could be pulling up or too high out of the factory.
Your neck could have a hump in it due to lack of humidity, this causes the neck to rise up to meet the body which creates buzzing, sometimes higher action is used to counter this.

There's a myriad of things it could be.

>>68382422
Or you could just buy a decent case and keep the guitar between 45% and 55% humidity all through the year?

>>68382274
You are right, like the meme system with rules like passing through all other 11 notes before repeating or some shit like that. I meant general off key soloing, not atonality.

I've been borrowing a tweed combo and I'm giving it back to my friend soon, wanted to clean it up as best as possible. No stains or major issues, just dirtier than I got it.

>>68384249
You meet a lot of people and hope for the best.
I'm not even doing a band with my friends because one is super stupid on guitar/bass and the other has another band and doesn't want to write any meal right now. Good luck.

>>68384262
problems?

>>68384249
Go to smaller/local shows, hang out with bands/crowd, meet people who like/play what you like/play, go from there

>>68384440
The local shows don't really happen anymore. They cancelled Wacken battle of the bands 3rd year in the row here, since the metal scene is so dead.

>>68384277
Pledge and a lot of elbow grease

>>68384249
Grow up and stop listening to metal.

>>68384462
Might be different for you, but "battle of the bands" events are probably the worst representation of local music, since they're run by shady promoters that prey on inexperienced musicians.

Are there any DIY venues or house shows in your area? That's probably going to have a more cohesive "scene" than what you'd find at a typical venue, especially ones doing BotB kind of things.

>>68381042
fuckin noice

>>68384681
Some pubs have post-metal/post-rock gigs, but only hipsters go there. Last time I wanted to see a good dm concert I had to get a bus to another country and a city 400 kilometers away.

I'm just stalking out facebook ads for now, but people are usually interested in shoegaze, post and various core's instead of heavy/melodeath/dm.

What're some good guitars for cheesy 80s shredding for recording/studio use, with a locking tremolo and a humbucker in the bridge? Preferably strat style with bright colors. Does basswood suck?

Budget: 600 gbp but if I could get away with less that would be nice.

>>68385074
ibanez

>>68384770
Pubs are smaller venues, but basically any venue that serves booze isn't considered "DIY," and in my experience, the bulk of local metal shows don't happen at pubs. Maybe there aren't any places like that around you, but usually there are and it's a matter of knowing where to look.

As for the second part of your post, you should be more willing to meet people in the middle. You'd be surprised at the depth of many people's interests. I have friends that play old school DM but are also involved in many other genres. It sounds like you're being too selective and it's not getting you anywhere.

>>68385087
How do the ibanez trems compare to floyd roses? Does basswood suck? Why do they all come with shitty pickups?

The differences are so negligible they're not worth spending five times as much. I don't need a weird shape, I don't need some fancy wood tops, I don't need a little micrometers less on my action, I don't need some weird neck profile or radius either.
So yes, in some sort of way, a production model's equal to a custom built model, it's a plank with strings and pickups where you can play fancy notes on, anything more than that is nothing but details.

>>68378547
Both of these amps are sort of unreasonable for playing in the house, assuming you wanted power tube distortion. I've owned a HDR for 8 years, and never turned up the volume dial more than to 2/12. I do however also own a small Vox combo that can switch it's output level between 4, 1, and 1/4th of a Watt, and that does give a real nice breakup sound, especially with an overdrive pedal. Why not check out an amp with an attenuator?

Is this a meme amp?

Fuckin' Dummy. Let them send you the floor model and when they do send them an email saying they need to pay for it to be shipped back, it's not your fault they sent the the floor model when you specifically stated for them not to.

Here's what happens next, they either pay for the guitar to be shipped back (lol, they'll probably refuse) at their expense or you open a PayPal dispute (or the dispute the charges on your credit card) and use the emails as proof of your side of the story.

They probably won't pay for it to be returned and you get a free guitar because both PayPal and your credit card company will side in your favor.

You always punish incompetence whenever you can, anon. You'll learn that the world always works in your favor if you're a cutthroat bastard with no fucks to give.

Letter is the chord name. Rhythm you figure out by listening to the song

Each note is the chord your supposed to play, in this situation. This isn't a tab, this is just chords with lyrics to show the timing. The rhythm, the strumming, you gotta figure out on your own. Just listen to the song and copy it.
