Third for my new pedals

>>69784276
Hey /gg/ how should I be learning guitar right now I'm really stressing because I don't want to fuck this up I started standing and learning how to play with my guitar standing up I'm wondering how to learn how to play by ear and what are some good songs to do that with and learning how to use a metronome to learn how to play consistently. How should I practice with these two things should I be finding songs at a low bpm and working with those and then doing scales and chord progressions?

Anyone use a pedaltrain pedal board? I just told my mate I'd buy his Nano + for £20 (Which is half the price new), did I get a good deal?

>>69784347
Chill
Smoke weed
Play notes

>>69784333

fug, trips confirm

>>69784374

yeah I have a pedaltrain 2, it's really nice, they're sturdy and not heavy at all, if you get the bag all the better

>>69784434
Does it come with a bag? Or do you have to buy one separately?

Post a song by a band you've opened for.

>>69784456

It should come with a bag or case, ask your friend if he's got it.

>>69784347
What I do with a metronome is find the tempo that I can play something comfortably at then practice it 20bpm faster, spend about an hour doing that and you will start improving. Remember to aim for cleanliness not just stumbling over the notes.

>>69784347
Here's a good song to learn by ear
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQCjsohPmkk

>>69784374
I have one of the huge ones, never used it since I only use a few pedals at a time. The nano seems like a good option, you got it for a good price.

>I started standing and learning how to play with my guitar standing up
Set your strap properly and playing standing becomes the same as playing sitting
>I'm wondering how to learn how to play by ear
you get good and train your ear
>and what are some good songs to do that with
any songs with simple harmonies and chords
>and learning how to use a metronome to learn how to play consistently. How should I practice with these two things should I be finding songs at a low bpm and working with those and then doing scales and chord progressions?
there's no subtelities in playing with a metronome. it clicks, you play at the same time
you can train yourself to subdivide the beat afterwards, so for example playing something at 120bpm and setting the metronome at 60bpm
For songs, just find some you're comfortable with.
For scales and chord progression, learn how they're made, create some melodies that encompass those characteristics, and practice them with a metronome just like you'd practice a song

>>69784375

Anything and everything dude. In the beginning just have fun, you don't have to be too serious about it. Learning songs that you like (by ear or tab) will be greatly beneficial. Same with chord progressions, it's helpful to know the theory behind them (scale degrees and so on) but right now you can just practice changing from different chords smoothly. Start with open chords then move on to barre chords.

All of this can be practiced with a metronome.

How does slap bass sound like through a 100% wet reverse delay ? I'm curious.

>>69784585
Yeah, she drums and sings live which is kind of weird. Really cool chicks though. The bassist was cool.

I just busted my high e string and figured now is as good a time as any to get into 5-string Open G blues and honky tonk. What are some good songs to learn for that tuning and style?

>>69784516

>>69784773
One of my favorite bands has the same drummer and singer set up (Hail the Sun)

Really like those songs you posted, for upbeat songs theres something really chill about them

>>69784516

>>69784813
>implying Darkthrone's production is bad
Brace yourself lad.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-ZVkESecXk

Also Darkthrone and the early black metal bands at least had an actual excuse for sounding like shit production wise, it's because none of them were competent at mixing, raw black metal and all that underground shite is a joke though.

>>69784858
Yeah, they were chill guys. Turbogeists singer is actually Mick Jaggers son. Found that out literally the morning after the show. Really cool fucking dude, he was. Didn't say shit about him being Micks son. It was pretty funny, the bass player and me were bullshitting outside and he was like "Yeah, we're all Micks sons in this band." And the joke went right over my head until I found out from my drummer.

>>69784909

Theres two of us, I am the first guy, I play guitar in Swansea (Small city in Wales), I want to play noise rock with some grunge influences, there is already an established music society at my uni where I found my "band mates", we are yet to practice all together but there will be practice space available in the new year

>>69785147
Don't say anything unless you plan on buying them new stuff.

>>69785127
Yeah, I'm going to get all over the metronome game, can't really believe my playing is so sloppy, guess thats the problem with drums being so loud.

>>69785305
rude

>>69785305
Just don't be cunts to each other. Show wise, if you got friends in a more established band with the generally same ballpark sound of sound, latch on them for a bit and be their opener bitch. But always strive to steal the show from them. People will notice.

>>69785332
Get some type of demo put together asap. Best way to get a rough demo to just get out there is to record your instruments all together and just layer the vocals over it. The goal is to just get something to hand to people once you start getting shows. Put your facebook/twitter/myspace or whatever you use on all of your merch.

Shit, I had a art friend of mine make shitty collage and put our band name and our facebook link and we got like 100 likes after our second show when we handed out the fliers. Don't buy likes. Also, see above. If you got some friends that can help you get out there, thats great.

>>69785448
Cheers anon, time to get some shitty art friends, also I know about a recording studio near where I live that lets students hire it out as a practice space for a pretty reasonable price, and for a little extra you get the whole session recorded too, I've been trying to get the others organized but its like herding cats get a group of people all in the same place at the same time

question to this and to all

is there any possible scenario in which i would want to connect something BEFORE the wah wah pedal when playing?

i mean, with all of the opssible pedal configurations taht include a wah wah, is there any in which you would want the signal to go trough something before the wah, or is it preferable always or almost always to have the guitar go first straight to the wah before anything else?

i noticed that hendrix used it like this

>>69787245
Auto filters / envelopes are designed to track with a picked guitar string. If you try using a bow, the pedal has no idea what is going on and will trigger the envelope at random to times.

It will work pretty much like guitar if you pluck your strings, but why shove a giant fm4 on your board for that limited purpose

Fuzzes and square waves also have issue with electric string instruments, as they turn into sludge when dragged out with a bow instead of picked.

But beyond that, nearly all guitar effects work how you'd expect violins and cellos. Some of them arguably work better, such as shimmer effects or anything ambient, as you can hold a note forever with your bow whereas a guitar needs sustain gear or volume pedals to do swells.

im interested in playing stoner rock, will this be a problem?


im mainly asking because im about to buy a sapphire audio interface and i dont know if i should buy a wah pedal (which i could also take to rehearsals and other places) or if i should find a way to use the wah wah trough the computer (like using the rig kontrol for guitar rig).


The thing is, if i have an actual pedal i have no choice but to send the signal to the pedal and then to whatever effects i have on the computer.

Or if i get an interface with 2 inputs, is there a way to run the signal to the computer and then back to the pedal THEN BACK TO THE COMPUTER using the same audio interface and without generating latency?

TS9, TS808 or TSMini?

>>69787035

You absolutely can and it sounds fine if the PA is fine. Geddy Lee plays direct to soundboard as well, although he has some other stuff in the chain besides his DI before it gets there.

STOP FUCKING SENDING ME TO GOOGLE

ive googled my eyes off the thing is this

http://www.m-audio.com/products/view/ex-p

most pedals have a 1/4" connector obviously designed to go into a keyboard, the thing is, HOW THE FUCK DO I USE THAT ON MY COMPUTER

THERE ARE NO USB EXPRESSION PEDALS

even if i got an audio interface, they dont seem to come with an input for midi controllers

>>69787710
Just check on amazon. They're made by a bunch of chinese companies. So long as it specifically says it provides isolated power and the reviews are good it will be fine. This isn't the kind of gear that is super fussy on quality.

>>69787166
I'm going to give you a quick reason why 10 strings IS too much I don't give a shit about 8 or 9 but 10 IS too much and here is why. In standard tuning you tune to the circle of fifth your 6th string in standard is E that can tune down to a maximum of B. now on a 7 string your 7th string allows your strings to keep their tension and allow you to hit that lower note, but if that isn't low enough you can tune down to a maximum of F# hence the eight strings. Now some people say this is too much because it's now in standard bass registers. I disagree with that because all of music is centered around the note C and not F#. Once you apply a ninth string your lowest note in Standard tuning is C# one note away from C. But C# on the 9 string to my under standing still has 2 registers below is meaning if a bass player plays a 7-9 string bass depending on the way it is tuned the bass player still has a role just in a register lower than before. The bass player now has strings ranging 1 register lower than before and so does the guitar. You both still have the ability to tune lower by a half step if you both wish and both still have a role. The bass player now tunes to C#0 F#0 B0 E1 A1 D2 G2 C3 F3 guitar is tuned to C#2 F#2 B2 E3 A3 D4 G4 B5 E6 leaving both the bass and the guitar room to play with more overlap.

>>69788182

>>69788198
funny. I'm going to move it to the living room

>>69788193
Tl;dr 9 string guitars are the limit be cause it's still 2octaves higher than the lowest note in music. Bass players can tune to C#0 and still take on the same roll.

so in addition to buying a sapphire interface 100 U$S and an expression pedal 40U$S (at least) i also need to shell out for a midi controller (80U$S) this all sounds like shit.

I don't understand why a normal person would buy a sapphire. The benefits of blazing sample rates at best do nothing and usually just cause headaches

If only you could buy a self contained contraption to capture, amplify, and change the guitar sound rather than run it through a computer.

General question to all, if i buy a sapphire with audio 2 line inputs, could one of those be used to control an expression pedal?

>>69788656
So your spending hundreds of dollars to test drive "amps" that are going to sound like digital ass not a real guitar.

>>69788656
Just go to guitar center and try the amps you autist.

Which would be a better investment?

>>69789389
Well, does your pedal have velocity control? you could get it to work as a sample trigger using some PDextented or MAXMSP between the signal and the DAW. I had a set up where I used 20 contact mics I made to control a drum patch, interact with a friends Max patch over wifi and also trigger patch changes for my buddies arduino/stylophone set up.

Wouldn't be too hard. Set the audio input as a trigger for a midi signal, then send the midi command out as an input to your daw. I haven't done that shit since the end of my degree but I'll look about on my old hard drive for the patches in the morning if you want. I'll post them in a GG when I find them

>>69789469

>bass>guitars for emgs

Yeah I agree with that. I have a bass with the music man EMG and also a guitar with an 81 and 60. The guitar was my big spend as a teenager. Bonus: they are mounted on a black (technically gunmetal blue but it looks black even in person) Ltd. super strat with pointy headstock.

Anyway, on guitar I find EMGs to be thin. No character. Only really good for overdriving tube amps and there are better options even for that. I do like the 60 in neck position for clean tone, but again there are better pickups for that application too.

Bass EMGs are nice if you want a lot of clarity between notes. They don't muddy up when playing two or three note chords as passive pickups tend to. Also really good clear signal to run through a synth pedal and octaver if that's your style.

>>69789850

which is the real objective of music not le ebin 1219801280921890 notes per minute like if you were a robot and no feeling or emotion

clapton is a piece of shit, the best of 60 and 70 music fucks him over
listen to things like these:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f38l2vD3CUE

and all of those other retro stoner psych rock 70s inspired. they are YOUNG not old recent musicians who use that style and inspire on it, creating objectively not copies that are new and not old so therefore cannot be ANYWHERE EVER acused of living int he past.

60 70s is like bach music for classicians, if you like the rock genre you like 60 70, if not you dont like rock

>>69790779
Hurr its not music its just finger exercises that sound really beautiful and expressive.

nah I meant a full size hollowbody like a 175, the 335 will probably sound too close to your Les Paul and SG, but it could be worth a try anyways.

its called contrast. most skilled musicians have a section of fast playing and accentuate it with a slower section of melody which sticks out more when contrasted to the preceeding fast passage. its also used to build tension and the melody relieves it there are so many uses. Also its impressive on its own.

You don't dictate what emotion is. who the fuck are you to try and tell us if its not one note per bar its robotic. maybe your mind is too slow to comprehend fast playing

>if you like the rock genre you like 60 70,
i'm not a drug addict so no. I hate that hippie crap. 80s rock and metal is the true benchmark.

can't stand that "soo trippy psycadelic whoa man you can taste the notes" crap

anyone practices 8 hours a day and you get absolutely every metal player ever, emotionless robots with a shitty aesthetics who cater only to emo teens who cant even tell real music from not.

compare trhat to le ebin master master music man who knows poetry and subtle chords functioning and can make you feel the most extreme emotions a living thing can experience by a couple of notes and simple sounds.
