What do you have against em? I'm using the Behringer EM600 and it's pretty cool.
The Behringer Super Fuzz 300 or whatever is also nice.

Is it easier to sing and play bass with fingers or a pick?

>>68885397
Here's a quality explanation given by a Scottish dude.

>>68885701
Well, you may be a disgusting weeb, but at least fingerstyle takes some actual ability so points to you there

>>68885585
Whichever comes more naturally to you. I hate using a pick when I play bass, feels unnatural to me, but if you're used to pickstyle I don't think there's any objective difference in how difficult one would be vs the other during vocal accompaniment

>>68885223

I got a few answers last thread so I'll see if anyone has anything else to say.

>Lads, I'm in the market for a compressor.
>Price isn't too big a factor, although I don't want to spend more money than is necessary.

>I've been looking at a few different pedals online but in most demos they're being used pretty subtly which is not what I want. When I turn on the pedal I want the compression to be noticeable.

>I use chorus pretty heavily so I want the compressor to be able to be able to complement that effect. I also want to achieve a real jangly, chiming rhythm tone which I'm aware the janglebox is good for but I also want to be able to really squash my tone to get that cheesy 80s sound.

>Any ideas on which pedals can achieve this would be appreciated.

>>68885911
Same as below, a little flat here and there, but seems fine to me. I'm not familiar with the song/band/guitarist to talk about accuracy though.

Playing is fine. Work on playing to pitch though.

>>68885908
The store did not specify unfortunately, all I know was that its Red, has 1 pickup (though to be honest I forget exactly) and no online retailers have it in this color or condition so I'm wondering if whether or not its just a MIM fretless that for whatever reason was colored red

>>68885941
You mean the bending or all of it? Its tuned half step down

>>68886005
Bending was fine, just the expressiveness in general. But I do think it was probably just the production, the tone doesn't really sing in a way that makes it sound compelling.

>>68886003

Pass until you get more info/see it for yourself.

Take someone who knows their shit with you to verify the condition.

Are you having problems, Anon?

>>68886076
Thanks. What does that one offer that makes it in your opinion a good choice?

>>68886149
I have tried every compressor I could get my hands on. The Cali76 was the only one that worked with whatever genre, type of music, or guitar and amp I threw at it. It sounded best out of every compressor I had at that point in time, I had almost every one in your pic but three. It is a great compressor for anything.

why so much fuss over compressors? do you really have an ear for it? they just squash the volumes, make low sounds louder and limit the loudest sounds

>>68886068
There is a standard MIM for the same price there aswell though, and when I tried it out it wasn't too bad playing, are standard MIMs usually good?

>>68886320
Standard MIMs are usually fine.

>>68886304
people are looking for an excuse to waste their money when they know a basic boss pedal will do the job

>>68886277 hey

>The Cali76 was the only one that worked with whatever genre, type of music, or guitar and amp I threw at it. It sounded best out of every compressor I had at that point in time, I had almost every one in your pic but three. It is a great compressor for anything.

>>68886304
Any compressor pedal will act as a compressor. Any pedal will not be the same as the other in sound or effect.

>>68886368
>>68886304

>>68886368
>t. deaf person

>>68886304
>why so much fuss over compressors?
In the work in recording I do, it's very important for noise reduction and adds a certain sound I need for the music I play. I do use a noise gate aswell, but it doesn't take away the amount I need it to. The average boss compressors just don't give me the tonal versatility the Cali 76 gives.

>>68886304
Compressors are a meme, like tonewoods and DI boxes

now I've heard everything

>>68886489
how does a compressor affect TONE?

how can they work better or worse for different styles of music just like guitars and amps?

the difference between pedals is just being able to cut noise level better?

what you use it for besides increasing sustain and evening (pun lol) the dynamics?

>>68886582
Shitty compressors will suck tone.

Are compressors on bass guitar a meme or legit?

>>68886582
You are quite literally retarded.

Here's just one example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NczyGuRnl8

>>68886620
Bass needs compression more than a guitar does, you idjit.

>>68886620
theyre a must for me cause im mostly a guitarist and i need a maxed compressor to sound half decent

>>68886644
Maybe you should work on your fundamentals so you don't depend on a compressor?

>>68886368
Boss pedals are shit and so is your post

>>68886707
Vintage Boss pedals are actually pretty great depending on what you get, like >>68886623

But they're still cheap and modern high-end comps/whatever will always be infinitely better.

>>68886707
Simply put, the BOSS DS-1 distortion pedal is a modern classic. For the better part of 30 years, you've heard this orange box put through its paces on countless top rock recordings - from Kurt Cobain's "Nevermind"-era grunge to the renowned distorted tones of Steve Vai. The DS-1 is affordable, it's incredible sounding, and it's a rock pedalboard staple - the perfect first distortion stompbox and one that may well be your last. Whether you pair it with your guitar's single-coil or humbucking pickups, expect rich, dynamic-laden tone with the BOSS DS-1.

>>68886736
Nice try, BOSS salesman.

>>68886736
At least come up with your own bait.

Another good example of comp making a huge difference:
https://goodhertz.co/vulf-comp

>>68886707
Did BOSS go down the shitter or something?

>>68886846
Nah, people just think every Boss pedal is a DS-1 or an MT-2.

>>68886846
They're fine, but there are certainly much better options out there for not a lot more money. I think that's what people are really trying to convey. 4channers just love talking in absolutes/extremes.

>>68889481
Do you know how to improvise? How to develop a theme and build varaitions of it, on it?

Do you know how to write a song?

A solo is basically a small "song" or a whole piece that you stick in a middle of a song. At sometimes three times the tempo. You have to be good at improvising, or atleast developing themes or writing coherent music to write a good solo.

There doesn't seem to be a theory/compo thread up right now so I'll try to ask here: How do I resolve (not sure if that's the right word) a progression like ii-IV-vi-V? I mean, what kind of chord would I want to end that with?

hate how modern finishes can never have that worn look like what happened to Rory Gallaghers and SRV's strats

>>68889691
They can if you buy a guitar with a nitrocellulose finish

Don't know why people want that anyways / "Worn in" guitars with dents feel like shit

>>68889709
the worn in look is nice though and didn't they stop doing nitro finishes

>>68889657
Doesn't that kind of resolve itself ? Or I'm misunderstanding your question.

>>68889709
that's only the case for poly finishes, oiled wood does wear. I think it looks better too.

>>68889691
You're lamenting the fact that modern guitars are superior products, you know how bizarre that is right?

>>68889736
Nope fender even has some MIM models with nitro finishes now

>>68888618
fuck that's nice i can feel the smoothness of that
fretboard just from looking at it.

Sorry, just gonna say this:
1. If you've been playing for more than 2 years, that's embarrassing.
2. If that's not improvised, it's embarrassing.
Otherwise, whatever, just keep getting better.

I'm aware that this question must be asked here a million times, but what is a good electric for a noob? been playing acoustic a year and a half. I don't care if its a strat type or lp type body.

I just don't want to have to replace whatever I get, not for years to come or maybe not ever. I am not planning on becoming a guitar master, this is just a fun hobby for me.

So far from what I've seen the best bang for your buck is one of the many yamaha pacifica models?

A guy I took lessons with has a Cort CR50 in his shop, is there anything wrong with this?

Link to one - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cort-CR-Series-CR50-Electric-Guitar-Black-Free-Shipping-/252595753648?hash=item3acfe152b0:g:dLYAAOSwHMJYCQX0

Boss kinda sux man. I don't like using solid state distortion pedals to boost generally, but when I A/B'd a couple of Boss overdrives against a Maxon OD808 the Maxon just murdered its competition. Similarly the Boss noise gate is kinda shit whereas I really like MXR's one and the ISP Decimator.

>>68891056
That one's better, it's got some flair. Not much to say about the previous one, those were some very repetitive and bland licks over and over again. Made it sound like you had prepared 2-3 emergency licks for the improv, didn't come up with anything else during the recording and just repeated those. That's how it sounded to me.

>>68889481
Well, I'm assuming you're playing the solo over some chord changes.

Arpeggios are a good starting point because they are the notes of the chord. So if you have a chord progression G, D, C, for example, try playing a G major arpeggio over the G major chord, D major arpeggio over the D major chord, and a C major arpeggio over the C chord. Once you get comfy with that, start adding notes in between the notes of the arpeggios, just whatever sounds good to you.

Mixing this approach along with pentatonic and blues licks and whatever other licks you know can be an effective way to start playing solos that sound melodic and like they fit the chord changes.

i love fingerpicking too man

>>68891296
Oh and I don't mean just play each arpeggio up and down over their respective chords because that is generally but not always boring and less musical sounding, though you may have to do that to start with until the shapes are under your fingers.

Once you're comfy with the arpeggios, just pick a few notes from them and do all your guitarish techniques like sliding into the arpeggio notes from above and below, trilling them, bending into them, raking muted strings into them, reverse bending into them, playing a couple of them together as a double stop, etc.

>>68888400
This, the best one ive used is Izotope denoiser, by far. I never even need to tweak it, i just hit the learn button and its good. Doesnt affect your sound much as all(unless you dont use the learn button and dont know what youre doing), keeps sustain, closes and opens at the right moments. I use it in pro tools and run it in the effects chain of already recorded tracks, but itll work if you record with it on, if you dont have the option(or processing power) to process recorded tracks after the fact.

That focusrite line is really solid for the price, but it still has drawbacks. It wont work as cleanly as something pro level that runs off its own power supply. That being said you can get great quality recordings with it.

>>68890922
Honestly, go to a music store and try something out, thats the only way to learn whats comfortable for you. Preferably guitar center, they have a larger selection than small shops and itll just irritate the people at the small shop if you come in and dont buy anything. Itll irritate them at guitar center too, but theyre used to it, and those guys wont remember you unless youre a total douche. You dont want to build a bad relationship with a local music store because they tend to have connections. They tend to know a lot of musicians, a lot of techs, a lot of teachers, and at least a few people that rent out things like pa systems and or have recording studios. The guys at my local store helped me out big in the past, even holding a $1200 amp for me for a month until i got my first check from a new job after being laid off from work. Guitar center wouldnt do that, so Id recommend going there and trying them out. Then after you find out what you want id hit up a local music store and see what they have. They tend to have a lot of used gear, which is nice, and some of them offer lay away.

I wouldnt scrape the bottom of the barrell, at this point you should know if youre going to stick with guitar or not, if you are then you should buy something decent you have the ability to try before you buy.

Love that Firebird, really tempted to sell my Tele and get one as I never play it.

Has it got a chunky neck? I'm in love with the 50s neck on my Les Paul

>>68893019
Well I say otherwise

>>68893019
The amp itself is 300W but with a 12" speaker, you'll probably get an output of 150W more or less. You will only get your 300W if you plug in an external speaker. Not to mention that these 300W won't necessarily sound louder than say a 200W markbass amp

>>68893635
Pretty nice technique on display, but I'd say work on your vibrato a little bit and try to land on more satisfying notes at the ends of phrases more often (roots, thirds, and fifths). The runs sound really great, but if you nail the ending of the run it makes it sound so much better. The ending of a phrase is arguably the most important part. EVH described it as "falling down stairs and landing on your feet."

Any other Cats with me now? This is my guitar (stock pic, it is on the way) I am using it to prepare for university auditions next year and I am saving up for a es 175 (love its versatility and can get a real great jazz tone) or maybe a affordable hollow body. as much as i love the l5 that shit will break the bank.

Thats how i felt haha, repetitive
Thats how i usually improvise, playing my repertorie of licks adapting them to the feel of the song
I learned to do it this way from Ace Frehley, i try to learn everything from him since my first day guitar and i tried hard to emulate him until recently
He does use themes and stuff, his solos really sound like a song or a story, but i have a hard time learning this aspect of his playing

The second one i took some days to record, so i had some melodic licks in my head after listening to others' solos

>>68891865
Thanks man, i tried to fit with the feel of the song

>>68893635
Playing is fine, use less distortion. It'll make you sound and play better.

>>68893635
We got Greg Howe in the house

>>68893809
Its important to develop a feel for the notes rather than just landing on chord notes because its important to create tension, otherwise he will just sound too inside the box
But im >>68893997 and can't make up for what i'm saying

>>68893635
Sounds like ur on the way for it
Where you learning it from? What are you listening to and what theory are you using? Scales, same as rocknroll, or some more advanced theory?

>Its important to develop a feel for the notes rather than just landing on chord notes because its important to create tension, otherwise he will just sound too inside the box
Yeah but a lot of the endings of phrases sounded unsatisfactory and unresolved to me. I'm not saying every single phrase needs to end on a chord tone, but I think a good rule of thumb is maybe every other phrase should so you have tension and release.

>>68894115

>>68894454
I had a dream of dragon ball and sex last night.

Reposting because the thread I went no where.

Help me out /gg/, I feel like I am in a rut. I started out playing music like classic rock and blues, I also play classical music, but I know there is more out there. I don't know a lot about music released in recent years except for maybe what gets put on guitar hero and the radio. I need something more, tired of listening to the same stuff on my playlists. I enjoy great music of all kinds. I struggle to be interested in anything these days but if you post something I would appreciate it and check it out. Just no memes please, unless they are good memes, in which case that's OK I guess. Pretty much anything goes, rock, blues, metal, classical, country, hell even jazz, just about anything, as long as it is good music.

Sup /gg/,

I know this is more of a vox question but /gg/ is home

What kind of vocal effects would a band like real estate use? I'm jamming with some dudes tomorrow and we might play some real estate and I'll wind up singing.

Is something this dreamy possible in a basic jam?

>Where you learning it from? What are you listening to and what theory are you using? Scales, same as rocknroll, or some more advanced theory?


Honestly it's just the dorian, pentatonic and aeolian. I mostly listen to jazz nowadays, and I haven't actually played in this style for a very long time, thought I might give it a shot.

>>68893809
I know what you mean, I usually just end on where the nearest and most intuitive note is on the fretboard, if you know what I mean.

All the ODs / distortions / fuzzes are meant to go before the preamp, and sound like shit in the loop.

Bass recommendations for <500 in burger dollars
So far been rocking a SDGR by Ibanez for almost 8 months and think I will stay with bass. Question is what is a good all around bass for my price range? I play a lot of rock and a little bit of funk and jazz which I plan on playing a lot of once I get better, so I guess something for rock, funk, and jazz.
The only other bass I have played was a Fender Jazzmaster and I liked the slight twangy sound it had to it, but aside from that I don't know what else would be worth considering.

>>68895586
Stick with Ibanez or be cool and go with their maker, Cort, for better value.

I'd also recommend a used MIM Fender Jazz. That will cover anything ever.

>>68895586
500 bucks can get you a nice cort artisan/GB74 which are pretty versatile. Ibanez does the same kind of stuff but I don't know the exact models.

I can guarantee that it wasn't the finger joints or fingertip skin, though, and if there was some pain on the wrist, it wasn't the most painful part.

If I remember correctly, it was mostly pain in the palm of the hand. I've been playing for about six months, but never got pain like this.

sound like you may have damaged something.

did you take a break from playing for a while then go hard one day before this happened?

in any case its best to get it looked at asap before it gets any worse.. i know a buddy that destroyed some shit in his hand and had to have surgery to fix it. and recently hands and wrists have been buggin out. unfortunately there is not one hand specialist in town that takes my shitty medical.

I'll be sincere here, the medical system in where I live is pretty shit, and I get very frustrated when getting some kind of "huh, you came in here for THAT reason?" from doctors. But if the pain continues, I'll go after a specialist.

>>68899400
give your self a rest but seriously, stretch and do some warm up exercises before you play. i had to play a show on a pretty fucked up hand a few years ago. didnt think anything of it at the time.

>>68899486
yesss I think that's it

my stretch/warm up is lacking, especially the stretching part

hope your hands get better, anon

If your wrist hurts try getting one if those stretchy wrist braces, I wore one for a day and I could play easily the next. But properly warming up is important.

>>68899671
If you use a flat surface to level the frets, make sure you adjust the truss rod so the neck is as flat as possible before you start removing material from the frets. Once you've leveled the fret tops you'll need to crown the frets with a file, basically rounding them out again without messing with the very top of the fret.

Also don't try to be cool with your strap when standing up, find what is right for you. Too high or too low are both bad. If you've only been playing 6 months you will get tired. Good luck, ps.

As someone who has been playing guitar for a year on a $75 knock-off Strat, does this seem like a good guitar to get?

I've been researching a lot of different guitars and I'm liking a lot of the things I see about it.

You should play it in person to see if you like the size of that body first.

/mu/,

Is adding strings, having the rhythm guitarist and bassist jump over to keys a good 25% of the time, and writing a concept album that will involve the usage of a lot of phrygian dominant nonsense career suicide enough, or do we have to try harder?

Love you.

>>68902487
You might find it a bit "clunky", but when you get the gist of it, other guitars will seem small and easy to to run around on... a solid body style for a gateway into extended range/baritone instruments.

>>68902477
Liked the agressive vibratoes

>>68902009
What is the tuning on this monster?

>>68902477

G#, D#, G#, C#, F#, B, E, g#, c#, f#

>>68903220
Is that low g# like the 4th fret of a bass' e string?

>>68903460
No, it's a step and a half below a bass low B string.

>>68902620
Thats already suoer try hard

>>68903481
Do you get any practical use out of it? Seriously, not throwing salt, im just curious

>>68903528
No. It's a pretty solid meme though.

>>68903486
But it's been done, right?

How much further must we go?

>>68903564
Vocoder like cynic, black metal vocals over ambient synths, blast beats in 5/8, concept is end of the world, plenty of harmonies like "metalcore" bands from the mid 2000s had, bridges that go to triplet rhythms every song

>>68903827
>Cynic Vocoder
I've done a twelve-part choir by myself... vocorder could be an interesting touch.

>Black metal vocals over ambient synths
I do have one part where I'm going from clean to very harsh rasps over a very Arcturus synth part before the "chorus" kicks in... kinda done back to life

>Blast beats in 5/8
As in the blast follows 5/8 or the blasts are over a 5/8 riff... because... how would you know?

>concept is the end of the world
Worse! It's a take on Faust

>Harmonies
Check, check and check. A few four parters what with two guitars, a bass, and a hand free for keys.

>Bridges that go to triplet rhythms
In an Archspire kinda way, we might have one or two that start out in triplets

>Every song
that would be career suicide alright

>not harmonizing every other riff in your songs
Literally for what purpose? The one thing metalcore got right was harmonizing melodeath riffs. They just abused the same two or three riff variations until it got stale as fuck. Doesn't mean you can't do it right

Hey, got a 12-string guitar that has this pickup in it. I'm going to play at a open mic in a couple weeks, and I don't have any experience playing with a plugged in acoustic. How should I set the pickup? I play finger-picking sand folk strumming stuff.

>>68892839
does it sound good? absolutely.
is it worth a thousand bucks? nah.
If you can find it for under 750 maybe take it, if under 500 jump on that, otherwise nah.

Hey /gg/ I feel the majority of you are very knowledgeable and would like to know what you did to start learning to play by ear I can sorta pic up on it from just playing and fucking around but I'd really like to delve into it more. Anyone have tips? Same for improving singing voice does anyone know any good torrents to look at for singing? Thank you to anyone who takes the time to answer you guys have helped me a lot improve my playing.

>>68894911
Punk and garage rock are making a comeback though look at Ty Segall he's sorta becoming commercial in terms of popularity same goes to bands like The Growlers. Pure heavy punk hasn't come back yet but it's definitely starting to show up again.

It just means you're catching their ear.
