real men play mandolin/banjo

Been fooling around with B standard on my acoustic and loving the sound. Makes me want to get a baritone guitar because even with a large body and the .13s I usually use (I usually keep it in D standard), B is kinda pushing it. Anyone else in love with low tunings on acoustic?

>>69773551

>guitar/bass?
Guitar

>good?
Hugely subjective, but I have a pretty well-rounded technical skill set on guitar (everything from 2+ finger tapping to six-string sweep arpeggios and beyond), I can improvise over complex jazz changes and create an "outside" sound without it going totally atonal, I have a pretty solid understanding of jazz harmony, etc.

>in a band?
Yep.

>good music?
Super subjective again, but I'm happy with what we've been doing. We've gotten a really good reception at the last few shows we played. (One guy came up to me after our set last night and said we reminded him of The Mars Volta, and the show before that a guitar player from another band said that we were the tightest live band he had ever seen.) Our music is a mix of post-hardcore, art rock, and '70s prog.

Thoughts on the thr10?

>>69774056
Fine overdrive, but kind of boring. For the price I prefer a more unique sounding overdrive (with interesting clipping in the high end for example)

Buy the Mooer Hustle Drive if you want an OCD, it's a clone at a much cheaper price.

>>69774056
Yeah, gotta agree with >>69774267, the OCD sounds kind of flat compared to some of the cheaper offerings from boutique pedal builders/modifiers. Some of my favorite versatile ODs are the Suhr Riot (similar price to the OCD), the EXH Soul Food (I have the JHS mod version in my board), and the Bearfoot Honey Bee (buy used if you can).

>>69774267
I'm searching overdrives with a tube sound, like the OCD or the Tube Screamer, can you suggest some OD?

Catalinbread has a lot of great options. I like the Dirty Little Secret and the 5f6. A used one shouldn't be too much more than an OCD.

My favorite overdrive for that tube sound is a Lovepedal High Power Tweed Twin or a Les Lius but they're kind of hard to find.

Why are teles so amazing?

>>69774638
get a tube amp, like an old fender or something 100-200watts preferably. people misprice relatively small looking tube amps majorly online. a stack isnt worth it and any hybrid is going to annoy the fuck out of you. the mileage comes in playing loud though. if you can record loud and mix quiet then youll be the most satisfied even with just anything. and, honestly, if you spend generously and get a twin turbo or something like that the gain on the amp should suffice and then all you really need is something like a cathedral reverb box which youll want for everything and will satisfy you for the rest of your life. dont know much about guitars, but single coils are never good unless you're looking into pedals and more psychedelic, nuanced playing. the other dude telling you to get a jackson has the right idea. metal guitars are good for noise rock. you can probably get that or an ibinez or (imo) an epiphone les paul for less than $300.

>>69774631
I am considering that how should I go about it senpai?

>>69774638
My band does like, progressive post-hardcore and some noise. I play a Strat into an Egnater Rebel 20, my main pedals are an OD, wah, and delay. I also use an analog chorus for a nice lead boost.

>>69774788

I once ran a yamaha guitar with p90s through a peavey 6505mh. Incredible thrash tone.

A good analog delay with a modulation section can get you some great chorus and flange sounds.

One of the best practice amps out there. Fairly diverse sounds, and it's easy to change the pre-sets or save new channels from your computer. Sounds great at low volumes but also gets louder than you'd expect. I love mine.

A) Guitar
b) I consider myself a wellrounded guitarist with a good understanding of theory and a pretty good technical ability (im not a shredfag tho, and probably never will be)
C) Been playing in alot of bands but my current started two years ago and its going great.
D) The Music we write in my current band is the stuff im most proud of to have written, its pretty out there krautrock/ post punk that is super super fun to play. I also used to have a drone metal band that made really great jams.

>>69773551
Yes to all of those. Many people have even called me a "guitar god". But that's mostly just the standard overzealous ego-inflating that fans do after shows. I'm pretty good, but I wouldn't go that far at all

Quoting from the Hail the Sun AMA

"Aric plays a Les Paul, mostly, and his amp setup is just a Marshall JCM into an Orange 2x12. I'm currently playing a First Act Volkswagen GarageMaster through a used Randall tube head into an Orange 2x12 of my own. Honestly, I've always gotten my sound out of some seriously inexpensive gear. I used to play a Vox Valvetronix combo just because it fit in my dorm room and I could get a lot of different tones out of it"

"My pedalboard currently consists of a polytune and an empress tape delay"

" i use a sansamp and a hoof Fuzz pedal"

are you using it as a boost or as your main overdriven sound?

I tried the electro harmonix East River Drive and it was a nice slightly broken cleans boost. Wasn't for me so i ended up getting the OD glove which is also quite nice for a slight broken cleans drive but with a little more balls.

I used to use daddarios like 10 years ago, i found they rusted quickly. Tried almost every other brand. DRs are the best. That being said, most of the shops within a 20 min ride closed so I've been ordering Ernie Ball online because they're less expensive. I don't record and am not in a band, so it's not super important right now.

Also, I got a set of daddarios as a gift recently and when i used them they lasted pretty long. Then i read someshit about how a Chinese company was counterfeiting them in the past somehow. Might have been the reason i had bad experiences.

delay is good for all kinds of things. watch some guys talk about how they get certain sounds and you will see that you can do some interesting things with delay.

daddario 11s on my jazzmaster and elixir 9s on my strats

>>69777974
i used to have 12s on my jm, but now i use 11s. 12s sound a bit more to my liking, but now that i don't play as much as i used to, 11s are easier on my hands. i think im going to tune it down a half step and go back to 12s soon though.

>>69778254
im personally fond of alot of the overdrives that ehx makes, like >>69778950. you can also find blues drivers and ts9s pretty cheap.

Hope some of you guys have experience with playing guitar trough PC.

I'm pretty divided whether I should go with Scarlett 2i2 or Roland ua-22 duo-capture ex, for using with Windows and guitar rig most of the times. Prices are the same and I don't think I "need" de midi input since if I ever use midi devices I'll just use a midi do USB cable.

Anyway, I really wanted to avoid buying an external DI-Box.

Please, help.

Ah, I didnt think it was uncommon to bend with your pinky.

Then again, I use my pinky for power chords below ~7th fret too when I notice a lot of players commit to just using their index and ring finger for them throughout the neck.

>>69780569

its not uncommon but its not mandatory, there are lots of great guitarist who just use the third finger to bend.

also, some use the first and second finger to bend

see this nig

http://guitarplayerworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ProperStringBendingTechnique.jpg

see? his using 3 fingers to bend, if you cfant manage a proper bend do that, its sounds great and is satysfing as fuck, before you know it youll have strenght in your finger to do it wiht that one alone

>>69780663
Why ever not though? provided im just playing two fretted positions for a smol powerchord. Obviously when i need that extra range for more notes with the chord I won't use my pinky but I default to using those two fingers since I started at a young age and power chords were one of the first things I learned.
>>69780668
see, sometimes I'll use multiple fingers to bend, depending on how out of tune I want to bend that bitch lol, should mention I never use anything higher than 10s so bending doesnt exactly require much effort.

Ibanez Analog delay is pretty good and the mini version is really useful if your pedalboard is cluttered like mine.

>>69780226
I think it sounds pretty good

>>69781086
just look up a three way diagram (google will give you 9 million results for this), then you'll have to split the black wires from the humbuckers and add them to the center points of the switch as well so the middle positions become redundant. also i hope you have a solder vacuum

>>69778922
so i'm looking into my first distortion pedal and your three are some that i'm interested so i wanted to ask a couple questions

do you use the big muff, the ds-2, and the 250 for different things, or do you stack them?

which is your favorite?

which is the most versatile?

what kind of music do you play?

why people here think positive grid sucks i think its fantaristic,

is there a 100% perfect or close to it vst which renders obsoletes all effects at least for recording sake

>>69781235
blues driver can be pretty spicy, All Them Witches' guitarist uses one as his main distortion.

I believe the DOD works better as a boost whereas the SD1 can take you from crystal cleans to really high gain on its own

Obviously as a fuzz the big muff is a bit different. I can safely say if you like stoner rock you'll like it, though.

what is the best gear or sounds i should be experimenting with if im into stoner rock and psychodelic 70s rock?

what is the general difference between the main kinds of pickups

>>69781147
I normal use the Overdrive with the DS-2 or the Big muff, but never both at the same time

My favorite is the Big Muff only by a little bit, I think the DOD 250 has a wonderful grit to it but there's nothing like the smooth sustain of the muff

The DS-2 is probably most versatile, due to the turbo mode and the fact you can make a pretty interesting sound rolling the distortion down a little bit

At the moment I am playing a lot of dad rock atm, but only because it's a pretty easy start into song writing, in time I'd like to play something more grunge or noise rock

https://clyp.it/0zshbsdh

>>69783039
I wouldn't call it heavier, it's usually just thicker and bassier.

>>69783039

Depends on what tuning you want.

i.e. Melvins play in Drop D, Sleep in C Standard, Elec Wizard B Standard and Boris Bb Standard

>>69783152
haha, the absolute madmen, who needs that much heavyness?

>>69783152
I was thinking B standard as I'm a huge Wizard fan.

>>69783177
I would go exl157's if you like it tight or exl158's if you want some slack all the way at b standard.

Out of curiosity are any of you competent when it comes to wiring guitars?

>>69783174

The japanese and british do, apparently haha.

>>69783177

You'll need baritone strings for that, something like .063's or .065's should work for B, intonating that is gonna be a pain in the ass and you might need to cut deeper grooves into the nut.

>>69783039
eh

eh

really just 'eh'. a lot of people claim they do, but there are so many more things that have much greater effect on your tone than string gauge.

string gauge primarily will effect how the guitar a) feels to play and b) handles tunings. thicker strings have more tension, and therefore better suited to drop tunings than regular strings.

if you continue to play acoustic, you might want to consider using the same or similar gauge of strings on your electric as your acoustic. some people like having similar gauge strings so they can get really comfortable with one feel, whereas other people liking using different gauges for differnt guitars (ie thinner on a strat, thicker on an LP, etc) to suit their style of playing.

i'd recommend you just get 10-46 gauge and see how those feel. if you would prefer the strings be a bit stiffer, then go to 11s or 12s. if youd like to be able to flex them easier, go down to 9-46s or even 9-42s

>>69783205
>>69783232
Thanks a ton guys

>>69783236
Also thanks for the explanation, didn't really plan on continuing to play acoustic, I was just playing it until I had enough cash to get an electric and an amp.

>>69783290

Also of note (for any tuning): if you play a lot of leads thinner strings are usually better for bending and vibrato.

Ended up bringing home the Roland quad instead of the 2i4, based on the talk I had with the guys at the shop. Price was exactly the same.
I can always exchange it in the next few days.

No, that's just what happens when you start to play an instrument. It rapes your hands for a few months, also don't start out on a left handed bass. You'll regret it.

Make sure not to bend your wrist too much, it should be lined up to your hand, which should be flat. Put your thumb right on the back of the neck.

>>69783924
I think you should put your thumb more behind your middle finger going straight on against the neck rather than sideways like you have it going there.

>>69783903
raise your strap up more and your wrist and hands will line up more comfortably. you'll look like a dork with a high strap, but it is comfortable.

ive been playing constantly since halloween mang

>also don't start out on a left handed bass. You'll regret it.
im an edgy contrarian so i enjoy being able to complain about it

>>69784054
this feels a lot more comfortable actually, speed seems much slower though

n-no pls, it feels so much nicer when the strap is high up but it just looks so goofy
form > function

a) guitar
b) I started 6 months ago and I'm shit at it, also don't have the time to learn and practice as much as I'd like to
c) I have no friends, also see b)
d) there are songs in my head that I want to make a reality, but I don't know how many years it will take me before I can do that

Links to your bands music?

It would sound better if second guitar sounded a little different and there was a bass under it.

>>69784140
you're practicing at home, no one can see you. just lower it if you play out

>>69784120
>speed seems much slower though

You'll need to do speed exercises in that position, again, muscle memory.

You can shift your thumb around when playing stuff on the upper register (i.e. D-G string, past fret 12) but remember to always default back to that position.

Also make sure your strap isn't too low, somewhere around your groin/stomach area is fine.

>also don't start out on a left handed bass.

huh what

why

>>69784200
imagine trying to find a needle in a hay stack, now imagine that needle needs to be made of gold. gratz, you now know what its like to shop for a left handed bass

Do you wear band tshirts when you play shows? Is that the quintessential clothing accessory for the rock musician?

>buying an instrument without playing it first
Get ready to waste some time and money, then settling for something mediocre in the end.

>>69773879
>everything from 2+ finger tapping to six-string sweep arpeggios and beyond), I can improvise over complex jazz changes and create an "outside" sound without it going totally atonal,
lmao

Lemme hear you play Giant Steps

>>69784314
Just buy from somewhere with an actual return policy and not complete jews like guitar center or amazon

>>69784359
Maybe you missed the wasting time part?

>>69784379
gee, what are you, a 6 year old with leukemia ? a week isn't that long

>>69784412
>cant add the time taken for return and delivery?
Who's the 6 year old here? And you're assuming the 2nd one you get will be perfect, if you find the perfect bass in 2 attempts you gotta have pretty low standards. I already assumed you did since you think ordering online is a great solution.
