I have a MiJ Tele with a 7.25 radius neck from the factory. I don't have tiny Jap hands so 7.25 feels way too cramped. if I buy a MiM neck that's 9.5 will it fit?

>>68396031
MiJ neck pickets are wider than MiM ones. So no, it wouldn't.

>>68396031
Radius has nothing to do with string spacing. What you want to look at is nut width and I'm pretty sure all fender have the same width

Just got a Vox ac30cc2, my first tube amp, and I don't know what tubes to get or how to replace them. Can someone help a musical retard out?

Emailed this guy when I was confused about what to stick in my OR15. You fill out a form and talk about what kind of sound you want to achieve with your amp, and he can make suggestions based on that.

Replacing tubes isn't hard. For preamp tubes (labeled likely 12AX7 or 12AT7 in your amps, are stubby little things), you can just pull the old ones when you need to change them, and stick new ones in. Wiggle them around, side to side, as you pull them out to make sure they come out easy.

Depending on your amp, the power tubes (I think labeled EL84 on your amp) might not be as simple. Often you need to adjust some voltages on your amp (biasing) when you replace power tubes, in order to make sure the amp will be running safely and that none of the components will be damaged.

Do some google work anon, and go to that website. You'll figure it out

JJ makes good stuff, but I wouldn't jump on anything right away. I would read up on the options you have from a few different manufacturers, read some reviews, maybe email that dude. Give it some time, consider your choices. I'd also read up a bit more just on the basics of tube amp operation so you know a little more about what the parts of your amp do, at least the preamp and power sections.

Best of luck anon, tube amp larnin' is a fun road to stumble down

Everyone else is too lazy to make new threads.

so should i buy another guitar or just get a shitload of pedals for my current guitar

kind of want a strat as a travel guitar because it's so light and comfy, whereas my tele is basically a brick

>>68396798
I play a tele too!

travel guitars are a meme. Opt for pedals friendo

>>68396608
Will do, thanks.

>>68396807
travelling as in like jamming but not playing live

shit tends to get out of hand with my jammates and i dont want my tele to get fugged, just want something i can bang around. was actually thinking of a high end squier

I used to use my old 00' affinity squire before the neck was getting worn away and the paint started to wear off. I have yet to refret it

>>68396998
cuz i could get a beat up classic vibe for like 200. but if i go the pedal route i'll be able to get maybe 2 decent pedals

what other guitars do you have?

seeing as nobody will help me in /prod/ and they aren't familiar with guitars, can someone help me out on what I should do to really spice this track. I havent added any vocals yet because I am sick

>>68397252
guitar fills. maybe suggestions on adding more tracks with different tones/effects

>>68397124
Guitar sounds good, not sure if you were asking for guitar only advice but I'm bored and a drummer at heart.

First thing that jumped out at me was that you're alternating two very different snare samples which sounds very strange. Not sure if you were trying to emphasize one over the other but the timbres are way off and unnatural sounding.
Then you've got this tom pattern going on which sounds like something that would belong in a breakdown or bridge, not in a refrain and certainly not a verse. Just doesn't fit and takes away from what you're doing on guitar in my opinion.

>>68397124
if you're going to do the whole 'lazy guitar part with a bumping rhythm section' then you can't use a stock drum track from garageband and have it repeat the same thing for the entire song.

i also think the drum track is a little too busy anyway, it should have fewer notes but more accents/punctuation like symbols and short simple fills. think john bonham on when the levee breaks.

a few guitar fills would be easy spice, and maybe a more interesting/present bassline. i couldnt even tell if the bass was doing anything beyond playing root notes.

>>68397263
easiest thing would be to add a few high sustain tremolo'd notes, like a whole/double whole note and just use a quarter note rhythm tremolo and let it fade out, like bwanabwanawanawanawana...

Seeing as the other anon posted a thing he is working on, I'll do the same! Currently in the process of writing a solo. Plan on dual tracking left and right guitars. The tracks are still the first thing I recorded so some of the playing might be off tempo in places. It also isn't mixed or mastered properly.

>then you can't use a stock drum track from garageband and have it repeat the same thing for the entire song.

it isnt stock my man

>>68397292
the different samples were ment to be stacked. I was planning on having my drummers record the drums off of the samples I have 2 drummers in the group

>>68397312
I might do this, although the vocals might fill in the spaces a bit

>>68397364
it sounds canned m8, idk what else to tell ye

>>68397363
record two different guitar parts with different toans, with alternating lead presence. even if you play basically the same music with some overlap, the song will sound a lot thicker and more interesting

They're both very different though. If I had to chose, without hesitating I'd take the tele, I hate short scale guitars, and the body would probably feel awkward.
Also don't buy them in straight up black, it's objectively the worst color ever done on a guitar. It's ugly, and as soon as you get a speck of dust, sweat or fingerprints on it, everyone can see them.

I just keep mine in my room with the window open in the winter

/gg/ when you were in highschool what were the big meme guitars that everyone was into?
Every guitarist in my school wanted a jackson V

>>68401064

Every guitarist had a shredtastic shit-tastic badly intonated Floyd Rose locking nut Ibanez running through a Metal Zone and played nothing but sweeps and tapping.

And I do mean every single one. Even the only other bassist had a shitty 100$ starter pack Ibanez bass.

And of course the rich parents kid who had a Gibson Les Paul Custom but couldn't play his way out of a cardboard box.

>>68401048
1/10 bait, unless you live in florida in which case what's the difference lmao

>>68399483
keep it in it's case with a humidifier. i use the oasis humidifier for mine, but i live in a very dry climate. ask your local guitar shop techs what they recommend.

>>68399691
get classical training

>>68401205
Not even bait. Well, I don't keep the window open all the time.

So, uh, I've been playing for a few months and I've learned open and bar chords, power chords, major and minor scales and some theory.

My aim is to write songs and I'm able to create some (slightly shitty) chord progressions and lyrics, but I can't do anything lead guitar. What do I need to learn to do some solos and riffs?

>>68401254
>What do I need to learn to do some solos and riffs?
Learn scales and do a lot of improv

>>68401064
>guitars matter
>not drugs
J/k. But most guitarists in my school were stoners who were into jam bands. They all played like one Squire or Yamaha strat among them.

>>68401254
>some theory
>some
>not much

moar theory is the answer. keep learning songs via sheet music. patterns/intervals will emerge and you'll begin to figure out the keys to tasty licks.

play with others, practice your improv. take a tip from based keef and keep it simple stupid. let the notes/accents/rhythm do the talking, not the speed.

>>68401064
i went to a highschool in a somewhat affluent neighborhood of a big city so there was a wide variety of tastes.

at university though it was all chads playing 'wagon wheel' and other singalong songs on acoustic guitar.

>>68401254
"Connecting Pentatonic Patterns" by Tom Kolb is a pretty comprehensive book on basic soloing.

i practiced a ton of barre chords yesterday

my hand doesn't hurt much now but its joints are cracking in ways they never cracked before

Do you enjoy cross-string trills as much as I do?

Does anyone know any .009-.046 string sets that come with a wound G?

>9-46 wound G.

Yeah that's not fucking happening ever.

>>68402006
there's that one website that lets you pick whatever strings you want for a pack, but i don't remember what it's called

>>68402038
You can buy all the loose strings you want in the world, point is if you're looking for a 9-46 set with a wound G string, you'll end up with 2 of the same strings and retarded tension on the G string compared to the rest of the set.

>>68402062

>>68402062

Oh well if anyone asks why my G string sounds like it's being played in an earthquake I'll just tell them I have extremely subtle vibrato technique

>>68402300
They're cheap because humbuckers in jaguars are very unpopular with the memesters that need their guitar to look like the cover of Loveless. They're good quality though.

>>68402355
How about you have your guitar set up properly for whatever strings you intend to use before looking for the stupidest solutions ever?

>>68402300

The pickups on those Jaguars are complete poo poo.

Honestly you'll be paying 600 bucks for a shitty version of a Fender instrument and then you're gonna have to change the pickups and electronics, just save up and get a Classic Player or a used Japanese one if you want a Jaguar.

No idea on the Tele though, can't imagine it being good. Modern Player can suck my dick.

It's a humbucker anon.

Do any of you know what you call it when you substitute the V chord in a progression with the ii chord?

I know it works because the 5th 7th 9th and 11th of G major is the same as the 1st 3rd and 5th and 7th of D minor 7, for example.

We're doing basic chord substitutions in Uni and we've been tought tonic function and tritone substitution etc, but not this.

Cheers.

>>68402452
DIY?

>>68402482
>would be D minor
You meant D major, G major has F# in its key signature.
It really just depends on what the chord is moving to. If that V chord moves to the tonic, then I would probably leave it since a ii chord doesn't have a very strong pull since it has no leading tone.

>>68401895
what are those?

It allows us to emulate harpsichord and other keyboard instrument's trills.

That's nice, I'd like to see it implemented in more "heavy" music.

Sorry mate I meant to specify that I'm in the key of C, so the G would be dominant, then I'm replacing it with a Dm7.

I just need a name for it lmao because I need to write a boring essay about why I changed X chord with Y, using tonic function etc

what would you say is the best phaser pedal?

>>68402633
Also I'm avoiding the leading tone and saving it for later, the ii chord still works with the melody

Brahms has used a ii7->I cadence before in his music, it's not traditional obviously.
Some people would call it some kind of plagal cadence since we don't have a proper name for it.(plagal cadences are typically IV-I)
It would help immensely if I knew what the progression is.

The original progression was Am-F-C-G
I'm substituting C-Dm7-F-Dm7

It is a plagal cadence sort of, given that the Dm7 could be a substitution for F.

But I'm substituting the G. I know it works, I vaguely can see how it works, but I just need a name for it or to describe it for your damn essay.

Thanks for your help btw

>>68402753
this is the correct answer

>>68402891
In a musical context we would probably see that seventh of the ii used as a suspension while the chords below resolve to C.
So in macro analysis I wouldn't have even called it a ii7, but rather just a ii while the melody does whatever it wants.

Just call it a ii7 in the harmonic analysis and call it a day.
Justify it the same way Brahms or Wagner did any of their music.

>>68402891
Made a mistake, the the new progression is C-Dm7-Am7-Dm7 back to C

>>68403066
Interesting. Why would it be considered a suspension? I mean I get that the C is held from the Dm7 to the C.

The melody actually hits a D over the Dm7 before moving to E, if that means anything. So both the C and D notes at there, next to each other. That shouldn't really change the chord name, should it?

I was simply suggesting in most cases in classical music that I've seen(mostly from the Renesaince era prior to more common tonality, but before the loss of the rigid ruleset that drove the baroque and classical era) it would have been used as a suspension,
In this case, just pretend it's not very important, don't stress out about it too much.
Ask your professor if he wants it a certain way, he's there to teach. Your work shouldn't be a guessing game, but you'll find in music that there are more solutions than just one.

totally agree. my entire rig is line6 gear (variax -> pod -> spider) and i literally have millions of tonal options at my finger tips. when i bring my full stack to sit in at jams the amount of jealous looks i get from tube memers is insane.

Sup bros,
Acousti-fag here. Could anyone grant any sort of direction in choosing an electric that would give me post rock/math rock/shoegaze tones? I'd like to start diversifying my playing and I'm in kind of an odd spot. I'm looking for something affordable but doesn't play and sound like shit. I've been reading for days but I'm lost. Pls no bully.

oh wow gee would you look at that, here comes the plethora of JM/Tele recommendations, like every time someone asks about which guitar they should get on /gg/ !

>>68404387

oh look another one, i should start keep track of these.

>>68404200
Most people are going to simply tell you "learn scales and improvise," and while that's a huge part of learning to solo, it's basically like telling someone starting a new language "learn the alphabet and make up words."

In addition to learning scales and improvising, learn solos that you like or licks from a certain style. This is a hugely important part of developing lead technique and basically how every soloist learned, consciously or not.

Anything you particularly like about that tuning other than the fact that it's Fripp's?

>>68405068
I'm also a cello player, so there's less mind-fuckery when switching between the tunings.

Obviously as a cello player, I find fifths more comfy to play with rather than fourths and that retarded transition to a major third in the middle of your the original guitar tuning.

I don't care for playing covers so I never run into a problem of not being able to play something that was written for the guitar tuning.

That makes sense. I've spent a good amount of time with fifths tunings/instruments and appreciate its use.

I find fifths tunings are best suited for single-note, melodic stuff. "Traditional" standard tuning is very useful when you approach it from a chord perspective (especially voice-leading). That "retarded" major third actually makes many chord fingerings much simpler and more comfortable.

Apologies. I shouldn't have bashed on that major third that much.

It's just that when I was starting out with guitar, it frustrated me beyond belief because I was so used to cellos and I retuned to fifths when I found out that Fripp plays it (was always too scared 'cause I thought it'd ruin my guitar's neck or something).

I agree that to a certain extent, playing melodies with chords can be a bit difficult on fifths.

>>68405439
It's extremely difficult.
Bach only wrote a handful of Fugues for the solo Orchestra instruments.

And the one that triggers MIDI synths. Sometimes the tracking is really disappointing in the low register (especially on my low C + shortscale), but on the higher strings, it tracks really well.

That's basically all my gear... and two expression/volume pedals.

>>68405439
No worries. I have a bad tendency to come to standard tuning's defense, even though I constantly mess with tunings and different instruments.

I actually really enjoy attempting chord-melody stuff with fifths tunings, and I wasn't trying to be overly negative. But I still have a hard time avoiding excessive parallel movement or awkward interval jumps (compared with standard). I really love the wide interval chord voicings that are possible with it.

>>68405776
Same here. On several occasions, I have attempted to convert standard stuff to the fifths tuning, and sometimes the sacrifices or changes in the way you climb the scales/licks, or invert the chords make up for a very fresh sound and perspective.

I've been shopping around for a new smallish but still capable of band practice level volume with some headroom for a while now. Tried pretty much everything the stores in my city sells in the 100-300w range, combo or head.

Decided on pic related. Gallien-Krueger MB200 head. A close first place for my favorite tone of the lot in the general price range. Near second place was the Traynor 200w head. Traynor is a Canadian company that doesn't seem to export out of the country much. Traynor is a good company worth checking out if you live in Canada.

Anyway, the GK thing is teeny tiny. 7.75" x 8" and weighs two pounds.

Holy shit, someone actually paid $900 for that thing? Everyone here was saying a couple hundred at most, iirc. Apparently /gg/ doesn't know as much as it thinks it does.

>/gg/ had no idea what the fuck they were talking about

Exactly. Do I need to post my pasta again?

When picking, should the motion come from my fingers or wrist? I've seen a couple youtube videos that give conflicting answers to this.

Fuck it, why not?

Friendly reminder: the kiddies who post in /gg/ threads have nearly ***zero*** experience concerning guitar. Playing, repair, new player recommendations, etc. The average age in these threads is around early 20s: green as shit grass.

If you have an actual question this is probably one of the most uninformed & least knowledgeable places you could ever expect a proper answer to come from.

Be weary of any advice given here as it's amateur & perfunctory at best.

Have a nice day.

Also, friendly side note:

Anyone posting their gear here has made a decision (either consciously or unconsciously) that playing guitar is nothing more than a meaningless hobby, something along the lines of stamp or coin collecting. Their uninformed opinions and amateur advice are firmly rooted in this unserious mindset, music being secondary to the compulsion to accumulate and publicly display their "enviable" possessions.

4chan is considered poison by most mature adults and is rightly shunned publicly for its immature, juvenile, and sometimes vile content. Lorde and the bassist from DIIV immediately spring to mind, both being heavily criticized for posting on 4chan and for their seeming willingness to be connected publicly to /mu/. No one with any real goals or aspirations would risk being contaminated with an association to this website, thus no serious musician would chance being recognized by posting their gear here. The only people who would be willing to subject themselves to this possibility would be the kind of hopeless, self-defeating troglodytes that routinely post on 4chan because they know they don't have any other options and nothing better (or more important) to do with their time. If you're posting on this site then you should be very familiar and thoroughly acquainted with this standard model 4chan user. There's no deliberate or pragmatic pursuit of knowledge or skill in these threads, just inane, unending circle jerking around gear, attention whoring, and fishing for replies.

For example: Aussiefag has been here for well over two years accomplishing absolutely nothing except for *getting some attention for himself*. The sad truth is that he has nothing else, this is his legacy: replying to other losers in /gg/ threads because his life is obviously devoid of any other social interaction.

If your goal is to wind up like this then posting gear here ad nauseum and avoiding actual musical discussion is definitely a good place to start.

Carry on.

If you're on a tight budget yeah. I should also mention that I have the thinline tele, which is one of the higher end squiers. If you have a couple hundred extra bucks then at least try a mim.

>>68410523
The Affinity stuff is complete ass, but I've liked the Classic Vibe stuff I've tried.

>>68410913
Are MIA Teles a lot higher quality than Mim or are you basically just paying for the label?

I had to take out guitar and look at my hand to see what I do for this as i wasn't sure. It's both, depending on speed. Fairly slow picking was all fingers, then more wrist involvement the faster I got. Picking as fast as I can is mostly wrist. I don't know if that's bad technique.
