how do you even play this, like can you only strum or if you can pick do you have to hold both the strings down and pick them both at once

>>69858474
Yeah you can pick just fine. The strings are grouped in twos like a 12-string guitar, it would be hard to pick just one of them instead of both. Same thing with fretting, you just fret both as if it were one string. It's not hard at all, try one and you'll see

>>69858509
might do that, i've heard them before and it sounded sort of cool.

>>69858474
It's easier than it first looks.

Each course (pair) of strings can be played like a single string on a guitar - 12 string guitars and lutes work the same way

Man I hate playing bars.

Last night I had a guy open my passenger door and sit in my car while I was trying to load up my gear after the gig. Thought I was his Uber ride. When I told him he wasn't, he offered to suck my dick for a ride.

I got done at 2am but couldn't finish loading up for another hour after because the place was absolutely jam packed.

Fuck drunks.

>course (pair)
Isn't a course a set of strings rather than a pair ? Like for instance you could have three strings in a course.

>>69858631
That's neat. Is there anything like a mandocello but with an extended upper range ? I could definitely see that working for black metal by the way.

>>69858867
That chart seems a bit wrong, Metallica is thrash metal (or trash metal in their latter releases), and definitely did not influence Punk, it's the other way around. Same with Motorhead.

>>69858867
why is country music before folk music

that dont make no sense

>>69859131
>Is there anything like a mandocello but with an extended upper range
Yeah, they're called 12-string acoustic guitars

>>69859131
A course can be any multiple of strings within reason, but paired is the most common.

I was trying to not complicate things too much

>>69859199
Oh shit I feel dumb now. They're not the same tuning but it should be close enough.

>>69859242

You can bypass the preamps on active basses dude, you just need a small bit of soldering, or even add a switch so you can go from active to passive in case your 9v battery runs out.
Although unless you're buying cheap basses, preamps are great.

That's highly dependant on the band. Reggae, Funk ? Yeah it'll sound like shit without a bassist. Death metal ? You'll get by more than fine without one.

>>69860023
Does it sound okay? You're allowed to do it.

>>69858867
Metallica influenced 90s punk, which may be what they're talking about

>>69860059
>Death metal ? You'll get by more than fine without one
No, it still sounds like trash without it. My bassist's amp overheated in the middle of the last song in our set not too long ago and everything just loses so much power. Bass is important, it's okay to admit it

>>69860023
The guy was probably improving anyway. I bet live he didn't play it the same way he did in the studio

>>69860093
Glad to hear your sound engineers aren't incompetent fucknuggets, every bassist here doesn't go higher than 300Hz and gets completely shadowed by overly loud drums.

Shit pictures I know, but I checked my intonation with the harmonic vs. 12th fret thing and it's near perfect, but my E and A strings are a bit sharp on any fret below 5. The thicker strings also don't go as far into the nut as the thinner ones.

I'm also having issues staying in tune but I also have ocd about that so it might just be me thinking about it too hard.

Should I sand and/or put graphite in my nut? How do you do the graphite thing, literally just colour it in with a pencil?

Some advice: try and identify the "core" of the bass line; the few notes that, if they weren't there, it would no longer sound like the same thing. Learn that first, play it over and over, and then when you're really comfortable with it, you'll have the confidence to mix it up a bit.

Of course, I'm not familiar with the song, so it could be that all the variations are essential in the exact point they're played for it to work. Seems unlikely with a Joy Division tune though.

Little on the high side, normal you get second hand for half price unless the item is rare (which Blues drive isn't), see if you can get it for £35

Is muting on an instrument with too many strings not really awkward?
How do you play chords like G and C? Do you just mute the lower strings or do you learn new shapes?

I don't hate 8 strings, I'm just confused, 6 strings is a pretty universally accept standard, not to say you can't have more or less but why would you want that, for 99% of guitarists, 6 is fine

Here, some times people just want more. Drop tuning doesnt extend the range, it just moves it. Take a look at this band, they're a blackened death metal band that has some of the best music ive honestly ever heard.i only found out recentlythat they actually use 8 strings. Listen to the first song off this album and tell me how much better used it is than some shitty djent band. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Kni1H2idKOs

>>69860451
For metal mostly. It's a bigger sound with less floppy strings that don't go sharp with the lightest touch.

Somebody who actually knows what they're doing could do some interesting stuff with the extended range, but it is mostly metal kids buying them to be BROOTAL

>>69860525
HOLY SHIT MY EARS HAVE BEEN BLESSED

>>69860504
Maybe some grunge where the bass is a little more prominent, I know I like to make my bassist work hard in my grunge band, and now I really want to plug him into a chorus pedal to see what happens

>>69860283

Yeah your nuts slots for the E and A maybe be just a little bit too high, which will cause the fretted notes nearest the nut to be a little sharp. Check youtube tutorials on nut filing. Fortunately replacement nuts are cheap (5-10 bucks) so it's not a big deal if you botch the job.

To lubricate the slots with graphite, yes you literally just take a pencil and colour in the slot.

>>69860283
>but my E and A strings are a bit sharp on any fret below 5.
then put on some fresh strings and get out a chromatic tuner and adjust it. you can find lots of videos on how to do it. it's not rocket science.

>I'm also having issues staying in tune
most likely it has to do with how you are stringing it. it could (most common) be a shitty vibrato / tremolo, or (rarely) be a bad tuner, a bolt on neck that is shifting.

>Should I sand and/or put graphite in my nut? How do you do the graphite thing, literally just colour it in with a pencil?

only sand to remove burrs if you are breaking strings at the nut / bridge. pencil will do if you want to graphite the nut but it us usually unnecessary unless you are frequently changing tuning or using lots of vibrato / tremolo.

>>69860368
Inline 8 headstocks are disgusting.

>>69860413
Muting lower strings on an extended range guitar is really easy actually, it's an extension of the same palm-on-the-strings technique you use with a 6 string, or you can barre without fretting so that you mute the strings you're not playing.

>>69860431
djentkids and their obnoxious praise of ERGs, combined with the massive ego of guitarists/bassists with hurt feelings.

>>69860451
There's some neat rhythmic stuff you can do on the lower strings that you can't really do on a bass, and the extended range opens a huge amount of possibilities.
Also classical.

Any drop tuning has two extra semitones compared to its standard counterpart, but you're almost there. More strings extends the range further.

B Standard is a thing, which has less range than Drop B, on a 6-string

You don't need an 8 string for that, there's a lot of 27" baritone 6 strings, and kallium does some ridiculous gauges if you're too poor to buy a baritone. Hell, there's even three different Bass VI models on the market, one having humbuckers, in case you want that 30" scale lenght.

>>69860603
What Gibson should I get? Budget £500

>>69860418
So I've actually just listened to it and it's actually really simple. The basic riff (the one he plays very first) is made of three notes - A, C# and D (open, 4th and 5th fret on the A string) and as far as I can tell the only other notes are the G# and higher A (6th & 7th on the D string) so you can probably get away with pretty much anything as long as you stick to those five notes.

In fact, those five notes are all part of the A major scale, so if you want to really mix it up and add your own touch maybe try experimenting with other notes from that scale?

>>69860629

>>69860610
Well some people like to shred as well. Also big ass 8 string chords

>>69860576
I put on fresh strings literally two days ago, I do string the lazy way (barely any wraps) because my friend convinced me it didn't make a difference, though. Neck isn't bolt on and I only switch from standard to drop D. I don't have a tremolo. I replaced a tuner recently, how do I know if it's shit? I'll tighten them I guess.

>>69860571
I'll try it. Only problem is I don't want to hurt the resale value because honestly I'm looking to get rid of it

>>69860660

Okay first start by widening the E and A slots slightly so they are seating better on the bottom of the slot. You can do this with the strings instead of a file. Just rub the string back and forth against the sides until there is a bit more room. Tune back up and check intonation. Sometimes that's all it takes.

>>69860645
>Also big ass 8 string chords
Barely anyone does 6 stringed chords in metal to begin with.
Shredding isn't exactly an argument either, it's not something that actually requires the low range.

Hey, family.

I've realized that the digital environment and limits of Ableton is somewhat crippling. I feel like I need to extend my arsenal of sound generation.

Hence, I'm looking for a guitar with an amp and probably some FX pedals. I like the works of Grouper, 55 Cancri E (https://soundcloud.com/55-cancri-e) and Swans.

Do you have any advice? I'm very much a beginner as far as playing the guitar goes, but in a studio environment/arrangement session I could probably make something good if I'm just able to create sound with MASS and BODY and CHARACTER. I hope that's vague enough for you. Advice PLEASE!

(I'm also on a relatively tight budget, but I can probably find some things on eBay etc.)

imo there is something hideous about the very idea. A big box on the back of the headstock is wrong. I don't mind tuning my guitar.
>>69862066
I've definitely played some beautiful Gibsons but I've heard bad things about the new ones. Some late 90s ones also in my price range (sub $1000)

>>69862092
Do people play black metal on Strats?

>>69862118
The idea is sound, I mean who the fuck really cares about tuning their guitar, especially on stage when it just takes forever and is never perfect because you're human. I sort of get the idea that people should learn how to tune before using robotuners, but after that who gives a flying fuck? I'd rather listen to a guitarist who was in tune than one who was too proud to let our robot overlords take over

>>69862125

what compels a grown man to dress like this?

i have a 96-97 MIM strat that i don't know what kind of shape is in because i don't know much about guitars. i live in the middle of nowhere and i think the nearest place to get it fix would be a guitar center. does anyone have any experience getting your guitar repaired there?? is it a bad idea or should i ship it off somehwere or just set it on fire?

>>69862221
This literally looks like KISS.

>>69862446
Black metal did the face paint thing first and if you say "that looks like KISS" to a BM fan they will hit you

guitar centre is usually ok. there are some horror stories as with any big chain.

turn the guitar on its side (as if you were playing it) and look down the neck to the tuners. is it straight? or is it curving out to the right a lot? or is it doing like a roller coaster with multiple bends?

Well you frequently need a way to cut through the rest of the band when you're switching from a rhythm section to a lead section. You can do this with multiple overdrive pedals if you're going from a clean tone to an overdriven tone, but if you're already using overdrive then you can set your EQ pedal to roll off the lows and give it a boost to the mids which will have the effect of making your guitar sound louder and letting you punch through the rest of the band. It's not really something you should be using to set your base tone though.

>>69862491
KISS predates black metal...

>>69862790
well shit
I must have been lied to by black metal fans

>>69862831
You should've done some research before stating dumb shit as facts, son

>>69862738
yeah, but usually just a boost/dirtbox or switching amp channels will do
a 10 band EQ is a bit overkill imo

Alright /gg/, looking to get a decent amp for band practice/live playing, nothing too huge, I'm not fixed on either tube or solid state or whatever I don't mind. Music I play depending on the band can go anywhere from rolling stones/Beatles stuff to 90's alternative rock, but in general it's all pretty tame rock. Budget being maybe in the $400 range or so, where should I be looking? Any opinions vs an amp or head and cabinet?

>>69862934
Blackstar HT-1 range is your friend

>>69862934
what's your budget? I'd recommend a VoxAC15 or AC30 if you need the headroom. A Fender Deluxe would be good too, that's a cleaner and brighter amp.

>>69862925
It's definitely overkill for your first pedal, and EQ is something you use to precisely tweak your tone after you've been playing in a band for a while and you need to be able to cut through in a way that the rest of your setup doesn't allow. If you're just using it to scoop out mids you should get an amp with a built in EQ.

>>69862197
i think no, i'm seen as that even among other brazillians

>>69862964
That looks pretty nice actually, I have a peavey vyper 30w ATM but I'm really not feeling it, the sound just feels fake and otherwise if I play somewhere I'm pushing the volume a bit especially on songs without distortion

>>69862971
Around $400, I'm a bit flexible on it but I'm definitely not spending 800 bucks on an amp. If it helps I'm using a MiM strat

In other news selling my amp that I have now, I guess Craigslist?

How do I play like keiji haino, /gg/?

when I see footage of him playing, I have no clue as to how he even approaches the guitar. because I learned the guitar more conventionally, I pick it up and I play whatever in some scale, but it seems that he doesn't abide by any of that. what is his first thought of what to play, what makes him choose the other notes afterwards?

I've seen interviews with him (the cringy RBMA vid and the off-strings vid) but those only made me more confused. there's some things that I picked up in his off-strings video but I still have no clue.

any help would be incredibly appreciated.

>>69863340
disregard all previous replies including the one that said to 'wash' the fretboard. I mean you can do that on the back of the neck and the body carefully because the wood is sealed. For fretboard you can use the fretboard cleaner sold in guitar shops or naphtha (toxic) or just dry scrub it down with 0000 synthetic steel wool. Then oil the fretboard with pure mineral oil or boiled linseed oil. There are lots of youtube tutorials on the process.

Don't get water on your fretboard. It can warp it and partially dislodge frets.
