New to this general, I'm about to begin learning how to play the guitar.
The thing is, I don't like Rock Music. I do enjoy Blues, Jazz, Classical and Old-Time.
I imagine most likely Blues and Old-Time are the best place to begin, although if I'm wrong I'd like to be corrected.
So, my question is: Which books or links should I look into first?
I'm new to music as a whole, so another question should be: I imagine I have to learn finger positions first as well, do I begin with the first OP link?

>>68694730
Rob Scallon has also toured internationally, what's your point?

>>68694776
this general is still on 4chan, so you should still take things with a grain of salt. Do outside research on what you may hear in these threads. It's not always the most accurate.
Start with Justinguitar

>>68694441
>yeah the binding on the SIX28 is vomit-inducing, I hate the switch they use too, it looks cheap.

Some cool Blues Documentaries

Deep blues
Chess Records (BBC)
You see me Laughin:Last of the Mississippi Bluesmen

Learn some fingerpicking style blues. Go with the first link.

>>68694792
You went ahead and called them basement dwellers with no real audience when they're world touring musicians headlining festivals
Your simple disapproval of them won't change anything about their success.

the last cynic album is a boring travesty

>>68694776
I taught myself how to play, so I'm speaking from experience here
Being able to stomach shitty numetal garbage or simple classic/dad rock is in my opinion the best way to get started out because most of the songs in these genres are simple enough to teach you the absolute basics like picking, finger positions, rhythm, basic chord structures, etc
But they can also be just challenging enough to get you improving at a reasonable rate if you put the time in.
It's also great due in no small part to the fact that there are SO MANY free and easily available tabs online for basically any popular song in these genres
Doing this alongside some basic music theory like those linked in the OP is, in my opinion, the best way to get started, afterwhichpoint you can branch out and do whatever you want on a solid technical and theoretical base

>>68694776
I don't even know if this book is easily accessible or in print anymore, but I learned a lot of folk styles from it and if I remember correctly, it starts with some very basic fundamentals.

It sounds perfectly suited for what you're aiming for, at least on an introductory level.

>>68694776
First learn basic chord fingerings and practice transitioning between them. It will hurt your fingers for a while and sound like crap, but in a couple of weeks you should see a huge improvement and can build from there.

Again: Rob Scallon has also toured internationally and played festivals, what's your point? Sounds like I hit a nerve and you're upset about it now.

Besides my question was what is this shit aesthetic called? What's it's name? They call Interstellar "2001 for dude-bros" because it's ultimately just rehashed garbage. What do they call this? Is it so unimportant that no one's even bothered to name it yet? I mean, even Seapunk has an official name.

>>68695148

>>68694776

>>McHouse studios (in homes owned by their parents)
any single fact to back up that their house is owned by their parents ?
>>basement dwelling YouTube audience who aspires to this middle class beige McHouse "aesthetic" (lol, whatever this aesthetic is called)
who gives a shit about an artist's fanbase, I'll listen to NSBM if it's good, even if they're nazis as fuck
>>no songs so they overcompensate with unnecessary technical wankery (lol, if you can't dazzle them with brilliance baffle them with bullshit)
all of the artists you've quoted have laid back, more ambiant tracks
>>strange multi stringed (often extremely expensive custom) instruments payed for with their parents money
again with the "parents" bullshit, all of these artists have signature models, must be nice having home-owner AND luthier parents
>>these strange multi stringed instruments are often based on shred guitars from the 80s (a strange choice that seems to based primary on fashion, the hair metal music from that time period being discarded even though it's strikingly similar in substance to their music)
what's so strange about a guitar with one or two extra strings ?
>>no actual band members in many cases (solo home studio project)
there's one case in everyone you've posted where that's true
>>so the strange multi stringed custom instruments are a crutch needed to replace the natural writing process that would take place between a lead guitarist/rhythm guitarist/bassist
Paul Masvidal plays a regular 6 string, his bassist is loud as fuck in the mix
Is the strange hollow nylon guitar a crutch for the classical player too ?

also Big Black used nothing but programmed drums iirc

Here it is, kids: 7, 8, and 9 string guitars are the result of kids playing in their bedrooms for years and years all alone. The poor kids in these videos ( https://youtube.com/watch?v=RyqW4WkyX6Y )( https://youtube.com/watch?v=wd065h2kH_E ) overly technical "playing" is unfortunately just a compensation for the lack of a bass player. It's sad because the point of music is communication and the most enjoyable form of this communication is a concert (where people gather to share the musical experience). The only people who'd be interested in this kind of guitar wankery are other isolated bedroom-stuck 7, 8, and 9 string guitar troglodytes, so it's YouTube and the bedroom again, and MOM WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY HOT POCKETS?!?

Seriously though, it's a symptom of extreme social detachment, and goes right along with a lot of other unhealthy things like playing video games as an adult, masturbating to internet porn, etc. You'll also notice all these bedroom "pastimes" require a good bit of rapid hand/finger movement.

Playing music shouldn't be the equivalent of mashing buttons on a video game controller or furiously jacking your tiny dick, which is obviously what 7, 8 and 9 string guitar players believe.

Looks like it's just the rubber, the wires look intact so you're fine. The actual plug is slightly more concerning but this >>68698383 should be safe.

I'd call the store you bought it from and bitch at them about the missing ground pin. That's not something you can expect everyone to notice, they should have pointed it out to you.

FYI the lowest tuning Periphery usually play in is 8-string standard since they usually play in Drop C and G#, and their absolute lowest is Hell BeLOW, which is Double Drop C# on a 7-string.

What does Lake Placid Blue actually look like? Don't really want to drive out to the guitar store in this weather, and the pictures online range from a deep blue to a light blue sparkle. My ideal blue would be Daphne blue, but that would mean shelling out $200 extra for a Nashville Tele over the Standard Tele.

I have the Grimoire. Very nice book to have if you need a reference guide for different scales for different styles of music.

What are your fretboard cleaning procedures, /gg/?

I go over the thing with an old toothbrush. Or even a piece of plastic like an old bank card if there is a lot of grime. Then do a pass with fine or super fine synthetic steel wool. Not real steel wool. The fake plastic stuff.

Condition fretboard with a light coat of pure mineral oil.

I don't see the need for cleaners like Gorgomyte and the Dunlop stuff and whatever else. It's not really necessary.

>>68704973
I picked up a 3' XLR cable for $17. To go with that I picked up the Focusrite Scarlett Solo and a pre amp pedal for boost. I could've just bought the cable and plugged it into my amp, but from what I've read, having an interface will make it cleaner.
And something about latency.

>>68705440
I just rub it with a cloth and apply meme oil once every 6 months to a year. Every string change, I use a toothbrush.

I don't excrete grunge so I feel like I'm not doing much.

>>68705301
The problem is, I'm depressed as fuck yet I can't seem to turn that sadness into words, plus I don't want to write sad songs anyways. I want to save up for a decent guitar and amp but it seems like that will take a while.

I don't know much, just what I researched to understand what I bought.
The Scarlett (interface) has a USB cable that plugs right into the computer. Then using an audio work station, I'm using Ableton Live, you can plug an instrument or microphone into the interface using a 1/4" or an XLR and record yourself.
I just purchased all of this today, so I won't understand the ins and outs of it until my gear arrives tomorrow.
The interface supposedly gets you a very low latency while recording, so you can also use effects live without muddying the waters.
I bought the pedal to give myself some oomph for recording, I'm not 100% sure if this was mandatory, or not.
I tried using a Rocksmith USB cable directly into Audacity before and you couldn't hear the guitar at all through the speakers. Hence, why I went out and bought real equipment.

>>68705746

You can rig up something like that but it will sound awful. Usual easy way is guitar to amp or di pedal xlr line out to audio interface to computer. It is also possible to go guitar straight to interface but that will also sound pretty bad.

I only started playing a month ago and want to get my strings changed because I don't know how old they are, but I have never changed guitar strings before so should I go to a local music shop to get them changed or should I try to do it myself?

>>68711635
Youtube is your friend.
You're going to have to learn to do it anyways so might as well learn now.

>>68711273
Not much else besides country-level local forums. There's also reverb but finding good deals on there is rare.

I just bought this based on the comparison vids with actual 5150's

hopefully it sounds ok going through a 100w solid state fender power amp into a 2x12

Nice evasion.

Tell me though, how many unnecessary extra strings does your particular djent stick have and how many videos have you uploaded of you playing it all by yourself in a room in your parents McHouse™ onto YouTube?

It's a good song, but you should know very few use soundcloud here. It's primarily on the containment thread in this board.
Use clyp.it or vocaroo to show your stuff off around here, or youtube if you can suffer the doxxing. But we're a friendly community here.
Is this you playing over the song, or did you mix all of the instruments?

it's getting cold, isn't it?

I'm about to bite the bullet and get a new guitar.I've narrowed it down to an SG or a PRS SE C24, but damn, choosing is so hard.

Anybody here play either? Does the strap button on SGs break off as often as it looks like it would?

Is the guitar stagg c542 good?
Acoustic by the way

>>68711971
It's true. Teenage boys who pick up guitar have a tendency to approach it like it's vidya or a sport. Goal being to be the fastest wanktastic shreddee of all wanktastic shredders. If a song is not faster and more difficult than the one they previously learned they're not interested. Musicality and good taste gets dropped to the wayside like so much garbage. When i worked as an instructor I would frequently emphasive easier songs that i wanted the kids to play SLOW and CLEAN, on time and with no slop and no extra noise from failure to mute their open strings. It was a constant struggle.

>>68713395
General rule of thumb for Stagg is: it's all garbage

There is a different drummer now, so the band is still a thing. I kinda want to get a 6 string at some point as well but I want to git gud at normal bass first.

i love learning songs way harder than my skill level and ending up essentially doing technique drills over and over for hours without even realizing it

>>68713456
It will play and probably hold tune but the sound will be awful.
2/10 because decorative instruments are arguably worse

doing that's the best way to progress, make sure you record yourself so you can judge objectively

How can I learn to play like this? My favorite part is at 3:00.

What do you guys typically do when you've plateaued? Trying to get one riff down but it feels like no matter how many times I go through it, I never build speed.

There's no way this isn't the work of obvious samefagging. Most of these posts were posted over a minute apart from each other and I don't believe /gg/ is big enough to give a shit about bedroom djent players as if they're any different from the average /gg/ poster.

I don't understand your argument about "le djent is wank xDD", especially when djentfags are a minority among the people here. If you wanna shit on the genre, just do it on /metal/ instead because this isn't the right place to do so.

Yeah, that's the frustrating part. I practice slowly, minimizing picking motion and making sure my muting is good. None of it translates the second I try to go much faster though.

What I seem to know about djentfags is that they always try to sound like Meshuggah for the low-tuned brootalz and Periphery for muh melody.

I also don't know why Rob Scallon is lumped in there, he's not even djent he just likes playing weird instruments. Most of his stuff are pretty straightforward and simple.
