i missed you

guitar feels greentext incoming

>Be two years ago
>playing in senior year football game
>take huge hit to the side of the right arm on a play.
>arm goes numb
>can barely move it

2 weeks go by still can't move

>go to hospital
>nerve_damage.jpg
>not life or career ending, but still needs months of therapy to fix

After month 3 I can finally move it good enough to start playing guitar again

>can barely pick at 60bpm 1/4th notes
>basically have to regain all my picking speed
>all the metal songs I could play go out the window have to play slow blues and childrens songs for practice

Finally successfully played the Jester Race solo last week. I know it isn't a crazy hard solo, but it is one of my favorites to play and it felt good to do it again after almost 2 years. Also I know this is a shitty greentext I'm pretty bad at it.

>>69345574
It was all right, anon. I'm glad you recovered.
I would probably end myself if i lost the ability to play permanently or something like that

should i buy a bunch of cables from china?
at around 4 dollars per 3m cable, it could save me some money; currently i spend around 10 and they still break pretty often.
the patch cables on my pedalbaord are chink and i got them on a bulk for $4 and they're working fine after over a year.

I got a Zoom G3X, but when I was fucking around with it, I noticed the decay was way short. It's a problem with the pedal because when I plug it into the guitar it's just fine. What's wrong?

>>69345792
Holy shit how fucking new are you?

Where's the best place to start learning how to solo/improvise and learn theory? Are there any good books or whatever?

His videos are the only reason I learned that my local guitar shop can't set up a bass for jack shit.

I can't play without reverb ever since I touched it

Is this normal?

Everything I know about guitars and their setups and repairs I learned from him. I'll never give my money to a shop ever again.

>>69345860

>>69346040
ofc I know he's using an overdrive
It's which one/combination of it and eq that I'm trying to get right

>>69345974
everything he plays through ends up sounding muddy and bad though.

>>69346157

probably cause he picks with his fingertips

he always plays super patrish songs he's the best

Thank you for the responses. I really hope to find this tone in the future. I only hope I can mimic this tone with a SSH, or at least produce something else with similar effects.

Wish me luck on finding that Holdsworth tone, everyone!

He's a hilarious and grouchy old Jewish guy with a hilarious Canadian accent who does professional setups, repairs, and loads of other stuff and walks you through everything he does and why so you can learn to do your own setups and repairs. He's good not only for the educational value but he's entertaining as hell with his rants.

I don't want to sound like a shill, but Dave is the sole reason I started doing all my own guitar work really understanding the instrument better.

I want to like Music Man guitars, I really do. They seem top notch quality and everything, but they're so damn ugly. They don't have a single attractive guitar in their lineup.

>>69348217
Did you do another between these two posts

>>69345655
I don't advise it. You'd think that a cable is just a cable but I've had it where cheap cables have loose jacks and other nonsense.

I highly recommend you don't skimp on your basics. You don't have to pay a fortune but get a good cable, you'll have peace of mind and your shit will perform better. The only time I'd recommend cheap cables is you get some absurdly cheap deal or you already own them and they seem to be working decently enough. It was always a wild card for me when I'd buy cheap shit so I stopped.

>>69345326
Is that a bass guitar tuned to EADGBE? do want

>>69348185
It's a Les Paul
I did, the saddles are pushed all the way back and the low e and treble strings are sharp. Not too much but enough to say it's not intonated properly. I wouldn't give a damn if it wasn't for the fucking out of tune notes at the first frets

>>69347836
I have two Strats, and one of them is absolutely brutal with 10s on it. They feel like 12s tuned to E standard and I'm not exaggerating.

I just roll with it. The guitar never did get "easy" to bend on but after the technique gains came from crippling arthritis bends the pain went away.

optimal shoegaze setup is the shittiest guitar possible, the shittiest amp possible turned up full volume, then soak it in effects from the most expensive high quality boutique pedals until it's dripping wet and record it all with 2 or 3 extremely precise hi fi mics

(The real reason there is a pickgaurd there is because my guitar fell and broke there, and the pickgaurd is just a nice and aesthetic way to hide the repairs)

>>69350779
let me repeat myself
>pickgaurd

also a pickguard's supposed to protect the finish from the pick's motion, that thing isn't a pickguard, it's just a shoddy piece of plastic

>>69350691
Replying to off-topic is the same as starting an off-topic discussion retard, stop being such a hipocryte or either you can fuck off which is a way better option

>>69350827
It is a "pickgaurd" just at an unusual location. again, it's there to hide the repairs since the guitar broke there.

(And btw it's not plastic, it's metal)

>>69349903
That is purely, subjectively your opinion.

>>69350830
I would actually argue replying is very different from starting an off topic discussion.

Someone made an off topic comment, but it was not just an off topic comment - it was an off topic which addressed me. therefore i responded

>>69350858
>it's ok to off-topic because it's all about me!
Nobody's forcing you to reply and not giving a shit is a better defense than replying like an insecure faggot trying to prove something on an anonymous imageboard. If you're so annoyed about anons making off topic you can contribute by not falling for it, dumbass

>>69350960
1. My claim was not "it's ok to off-topic because it's all about me!", that is just a caricature of my claim that you decide to put out to try and ridicule my position. this is what's known as the straw-man fallacy.


2. You are doing right now exactly the thing you are telling me not to do.

>>69350001
How is the Acapulco Gold?

>>69350841
But its not serving the purpose of guarding the paint/finish from picking.

>>69351092
>2. You are doing right now exactly the thing you are telling me not to do.
I do it because it seems you have the need to fucking reply to all the shit get thrown at you ruining several threads already and it has to stop, you don't have a reputation or an integrity to defend here, stop already

>>69351125
True.
But i mean, i think it's looks aesthetically pleasing.

I don't use picks too often anyway, i'm mostly a finger player

>>69345326
I've realized that I'm beyond terrible as a bassist, but I still enjoy playing. Should I quit or just continue playing for my own enjoyment?

I recently installed ball end nylon strings on my acousting and I'm lovin it. It's easy as fuck to play on them and they're, in my opinion, much better for playing in small spaces, the steel stirings were too bright and too loud

>>69351953
the only downside is you how to tune them like every 10 minutes of playing, but that's no biggie

>>69350849
Not really

ERB tunings are symmetrical, all in 4ths, so I can move the same shapes anywhere on the neck and they work. With a guitar, you have almost all 4ths, with one major 3rd that throws everything off.

Anyone else find that their guitar preferences really change over time? Used to play my Tele all the time, but it has sat in its case for over a year now as I just don't like it any more.

Really should get around to selling it.

Does anyone here record guitar directly into the computer and use amps/effects on the DAW?

any resources for more pedals? I have guitar rig that came with presonus, i also have ableton and garageband. I hate most of the pedals on guitar rig.

Any resources where i can get a shitload of cool pedals for my DAWs? im currently broke so the more free the better

>>69352846
use regular effects/plugins you'd add on a synth, I get most of my sound by just tweaking with Ableton's built in effects

Yo, which strings for my acoustic guitar?

I've been getting a lot more into fingerstyle lately and I'm looking for a softer sound

Use normal strings and play over the soundhole

>>69353012

I am a big fan of the Elixir strings, they sound fantastic and last much longer than normal ones. I usually change mine once a month as I seem to have quite acidic sweat, but the ones on my acoustic have been on for over 6 months. Found the coated Martin ones (SP?) were crap, not worth the money and dead in a month.

You must have bad sweat, I get a couple of months at least from regular cheapo Martin strings.

I do change more regularly if I have to play in public, though

>>69353073
I'll have to try them again, I had them on my acoustic a while ago but a string broke bretty soon and I had to restring

>>69352846
I use ableton's built in effects and a couple vsts like soundtoys, fabfilter stuff etc. that I also use for my synths

>>69349903
I actually agree, and I'm a guitar player. I bought my first 5 string, and within 10 minutes I was improvising across all 5 strings up and down the whole fretboard. It was really intuitive. I've maybe played a 7 string guitar twice.

Chords in the bass register sound like ass except if you keep the bass note there and play everything else an octave up (it's called "weite Lage" in German, no clue what it's called in English). Bass players do this a lot but it limits you and you can't really make use of all those strings in that case. The other guy is an idiot for thinking perfect 4th tuning is superior in some form, but I don't see how standard guitar tuning makes sense on a bass instrument.

I'm using a Digitech GSP1101 now, pretty good for the price and it's age and you can use custom impulse responses in it, but I've been interested in the Marshall Code amps.

Post comfy guitars

Can someone help me out? I have been playing some songs on a classical guitar with nylon strings for a while now. I went to play those same songs on my electric guitar last night and it was a bit easier on me, I didn't have to push down as hard on the strings, it was just a lot easier. I don't know if part of it is the wider fretboard on the classical or the fact I seem to have heard some people on here saying that you have to push down harder on nylon. Have I been meme'd? I like the nylon and think it sounds good and all that but I am starting to wonder if I should try playing on a steel string acoustic. I just don't know if it would be suitable for what I am playing.

>>69355845
If you're going to keep playing classical stick with the nylon, steel acoustics have a different tone and you would do ok but it wouldn't totally sound the same
Imo steel stringed and electric guitars are pretty much a different instrument because they just feel so different compared to classical guitars.
You could try one at a store and see if you like it

>>69352334
>>69352201
or just practice more

nothing more annoying that someone who cant play in time

>>69355916
Thanks, I'll try to stick with it. I have also been thinking about looking into getting another guitar, I don't really like the one I have now not that there's anything wrong with it I just don't like it now. It's a Lucero LCT - 250 CE/BK.

>>69356223
pick a song that you know inside out and play it again and again so it all becomes muscle memory at some point
then you can sing easily because you're brain isn't distracted from playing guitar
do that with a few songs and it's easy as 3.14159

Delays without tap tempo are borderline useless in a band setting...

But this one is a little more watery and swirling as opposed to just straight repeats, so it could be cool. Decent deal too.

>>69357027
depends on the genre, I like to have some unsynchronized delay low in the mix for most of my clean tones

>Delays without tap tempo are borderline useless in a band setting...
you know you don't necessarily have to coordinate delays with the rhythm section, right?

>>69357367
You do if the repeats are at the wrong tempo... it will ruin the groove of the song.

I use an Aqua Puss which is more an analog sheen than a straight repeat, but even in the wrong setting it can destroy any rhythm you have going.

>>69357055
Yeah, me too. But as rhythm player, you need those delays to be right. My lead player bought a BOSS delay without tap tempo and when he switches from single notes to chords at various points, it can throw the whole fucking band off when the repeats are all out of whack.


I don't even really understand what the argument is though. Timing is everything in music. I'd rather not use a delay pedal at all than have one that doesn't add to the flow of the song.

What is the name of the song that starts at about 10 seconds in? https://youtu.be/e-yA_HZrKUg

>>69356236
It is pretty expensive. I haven't got one but all the demos I've heard online make it look good. I would probably get the B7K but since you wanted an OD and you are using a passive jazz bass I recommended the microtubes instead.

how do i learn to play black metal, where do i even start?

>>69357826
I have that guitar. It has a really thick neck so make sure to test it somewhere first. That being said it is still my favorite out of all the guitars I own

>>69358162
Learn to alternate pick, learn to also be able to play chords with a pinky, and, well, then you can try and figure out songs, or look up lessons.

>>69358146

Honest I'd just get one of those cool ass Orange heads with the blend and the drive in or a Marshall Super Bass and drive it but I'm poor and shit.

I'm driving a solid-state Acoustic 270 head from the 70s so any dirt I stack on my bass through that really does a number to my bass low end.

I should just treble the fuck out of everything a-la Geddy Lee.

There's literally no point in having people to play with if you can't even play on your own. It sounds like you're just making excuses. Learn basic chords and practice changing back and forth between them to build hand strength. Then start learning simple beginner songs.

Guess I'll just stop caring about this

It's very, very overwhelming at first, but trust me it gets easier in the long run.

Focus on being able to play shit right and being comfortable with your guitar now. When the "lmao myxodickolidyan 10th mode E# microtonal arpeggio inversion" shit comes along you're gonna want to be able to play that shit smoothly so focus.

It's not easy. You're not gonna git gud overnight. Take it one step at a time. Like most things in life, you only get out what you're willing to put in. Keep practicing.

Something I wish I was doing when I started playing is to just do basic drills every day to build up speed and dexterity, just doing really basic stuff like playing 1-2-3-4 on the first string, then 1-2-3-4 on the second string, and then 4-3-2-1 when you get to the last string, and then move it up one fret when you're back at the first fret. Playing to a metronome is also important, and making sure your left hand and right hand are synchronized.

This is one of the best instructional videos for guitar that goes through a lot of different concepts and drills, but some of it might be a bit overkill for new players
