What do you guys use to record guitar? As in what software. Audacity isn't working out for me.

What do you guys think of the digitech trio +? Other alternatives? Maybe it isn't worth it and I should get only a looper

>>69887503
are you talking about using a DAW with amp sims? or miccing a real amp and recording it?

I have the MGCFX30, ask me anything.

I haven't tried anything in the same price range, but I can tell you I'm not too fond of this amp. I don't like any of the overdrive/distortion channels. I ended up using pedals instead. So basically, at least for me, this amp was just a mediocre clean sound with the Marshall logo slapped on the front.

I know the Fender Mustang is a fairly popular option for the same price. Maybe go to Guitar Center, if you have one, and try a bunch of these amps.

>>69887503
>Audacity
For the love of god download Reaper dude.

>>69888014
Don't bother with the new DSL100 heads or any of the current DSL range anon, they're overpriced and are a farcry from a real Marshall. Buy a used JCM2000 DSL50 or DSL100 instead. They're made in UK, have ACTUAL spring reverb instead of solid state, great for modding, and can be found for cheap as on the used market.

But to answer your question, the Marshall sound is probably one of my favorites, nothing beats a British amp.

>>69888256
I'm a big fan of the 1959 SLP but it's expensive as hell

>>69887503
Reaper does me good, my only grip is that you can't set the metronome to anything other than the beat of the time signature (i.e. you can't set it to dotted quarter notes for 12/8). But aside from that small gripe it does everything I need and has an indefinite free trial.

how does he get the note to sustain for that long? just high gain and compression, or is it something else? is he even using a compressor?

T'was the night before Christmas, and all through the chan
Not an amp was heard buzzing, all guitars were on stands
The strings were all strung, and tuned up with care
In hopes that warm tones, would soon be there

The pedals were nestled, and packed on the board
With visions of licks, and jazzy blue chords
Tripfags were shitposting, I tried to ignore
While looking for chords, I'd not played before

When out from /gg/, there arose such a post
I gazed up from my shoes, with a glimmer of hope
Away to the basement, I ran in a flash
To play my guitar, slung real low just like Slash

The sticky not read, I pretend like I know
I should probably just lurk, or maybe just go
When what to my wondering ears should appear
Arpeggios so sweet, melodies so sincere

With this little amp, and a really thick pick
Out came new riffs, that I knew were so sick
As fast as speed metal, the notes they all came
I knew all the chords, and I called them by name

Now F sharp, now B, A minor and G
On D9, A7, on B flat and C
From the top of the neck, t'where harmonics do fall
We're all going to make it, merry Christmas to all

Can someone point me in the right direction for Orchestral guitar? I don't want to be a musical hack, I'd like to learn music theory along with the guitar and there are no local musicians I can afford. I want to be able to play sheet music by sight and write my own pieces in sheet music. Tablature feels like its for hacks. I've been playing pop guitar for years now and started learning Bach's first cello suite. I started learning the Courante when I realized I was only a hack. I didn't understand the theory behind the music, I was a copycat following someone elses instruction and interpretation of the music, their transposition of the music.

Please help me learn. I'm saving up for pic related.

>>69887779
It's undoubtedly a girl (male)

>>69889168
A complex piece of classical music arranged for guitar would be extremely hard to sight read because of the ambiguity of positions. They'll sometimes give "hints" on the staff about which finger/string to play on.

Your goal is lofty, and probably short sighted.

>>69887503

I like propellorhead's reason.

I use amplitube too, pretty fun to fuck around with.

Any DAW will do to use the plugins, if you're new to DAWs people like to start on FL studio, but don't stay there long it's shit. Shit but easy. Move to Ableton or something after you learn the basics of what DAWs do and how they work.

When you look at the fret board what do you see?

>>69889220
My goal is anything but lofty. Most classical guitarists play from memory but read from sheet music, memorizing groupings of measures and rehearsing them as they learn new groupings. I'll clarify on what I mean by sight reading, I don't mean play it perfectly from beginning to end, but to indeed be able to learn the piece and play it directly from the sheet music as I learn instead of transposing it to tab.

Do you know how to read sheet music written for guitar? There are notations indicating which string and which finger to play it on, there are also specific places on the staff that "belong" to certain notes, A on the B string (2nd fret) for example is the second space up on the treble clef. I take this from "David Braid's Classical Guitar", the first few chapters.

Bumping my question.

I would post in /comp/ but that doesn't exist anymore.

>>69889366
I've long since forgotten how to read sheet music properly.

But when a song book only has chords and notes (like books labelled piano/guitar), it does become apparent what you're supposed to do without having a rock solid knowledge of sheet reading

books with tab and staffs are a good bridge to your goal

I was about to get mad about you mongs going through three threads in 24 hrs but then I read through this one and it's all underage Christmas break redditors shitposting so I don't have a problem with it anymore.

Carry on.

>>69889168
bach's a good place to start, try playing simple stuff with one or two voices and then try to eventually create your own transcriptions. listen to and analyze the music and then you'll be able to perform it better.

Does anyone have any advice on how to start playing guitar with the rhythm in mind? I can play stuff by ear, but I'm not counting.
I guess just counting while I play would be a good start right?
I want to know so I can start playing music with varying time signature changes like Animals As Leaders or Protest the Hero. They're pretty much my favorites when it comes to metal guitar.
Any advice to someone who knows scales and stuff, but can't read sheet music, and has been playing for 11 years without formal training that would allow this to be simpler?

Also, merry christmas.

>>69890194
As a guitar player, I can say that bass is a lot harder to make sound good, especially within a band. You've got a simpler melody, but you're the rhythm keeper. If you're not on point, it sounds sloppy.
Bass players need to be tasteful.

>>69888390
Just do the maths and set it to whatever it ends up being, unless you mean you want the metronome to like swing or something, in which case idk

>>69890247
Counting is what it boils down to. Start to recognize and get the common subdivisions ingrained in your mind. Like usually rhythms can boil down to groups of 3's and 2's, i.e. the 5/4 clave of 3+3+2+2.

Related to that learn where the pulse is. A lot of odd meter won't sound odd and just flow, so pick up on the pulse and count how many quarter/eighth notes are between the strongest pulses.

And just learn theory, man. At least the basics of rhythm notation like note duration, measures, and time signatures. Then learn about triplets. musictheory.net has quick lessons on this.

After you start to understand this try to figure out the rhythm for easy songs by ear, which might require you to learn notation.

>>69890402
Enjoy man, I personally loved learning theory and still look for new principles. Just remember: theory is descriptive, not prescriptive.

>>69891365

They're alright. Quality for the mid price range is maybe about the same as MIM Fender. You will have to do the usual new guitar setup (tighten all screws, pot knobs and tuner bolts, truss rod, intonation, frets might be sharp) but they play and sound pretty nice.

>>69891117
Yeah, figured I wouldn't mention that as sometimes rhythms for symmetrical meters are used as syncopation (like 2+2+2 in 6/8). Just as long as he understands the basics of counting for odd meter.

>>69891365
They're usually about the same quality as MIM Fender for less money. I'd much rather them than the typical starter and novice level guitars people recommend on here. Indonesian isn't great but it's a big step up from Chinese garbage.

What do you want to play?

>>69892078
What's your pricerange?
Do you have any musical experience?
Do you already have an amp or need to buy one too?
What are your influences?

>>69892104

Alerady been there. Was going to buy the Gibson Les Paul Traditional 2015. I think its overkill for a first guitar that i cant ever try beforehand

>>69892117
i think bluesy type stuff. not really into metal.

>>69892157

>>69892156
i think 1000 would be the absolute max. would really be better for me around 700 US. I don't have any musical experience or an amp. i'm not really sure about influences.

jeff buckley and elliott smith are my two favorite artists but i'm not sure if their guitar playing is the main reason maybe it has something to do with it.

i just need something to devote myself to before i die

>>69892157
Nah if you've got the money for it there's no reason not to get it

Don't waste a grand on a hobby there's a good chance you won't even stick with. Unless you have rich parents or something. If that's the case buy 4 grand in equipment and go wild.

let's just for the sake of it say that i am someone that is disciplined enough to stick with / someone single with like a full time min. wage job with no bills who has bad priorities and wants a guitar.

>>69892338
Most people that don't stick with it start out on really shitty gear. A good guitar can be inspirational tbqh

>>69892363
If you're making minimum wage please for your own sake dont waste a grand on a guitar. Youre going to fucking suck for a while and you won't be able to tell the difference from good and bad right away anyway. If you stick with it for six months to a year consider spending a lot.

We're experienced guitarists trying to give you advice and stop you from making a mistake.

For 1k I'd get a used pre-2011 Gibson though. But that's because I like their tones (SG or LP) and I know what I like. You won't until you really get into everything and figure out what you like.

Just a very fine grit and a lot of time if you want to be picky. It's easier to use a fine grit and then make your way up until the gloss is gone

A while back I got one of those Squier VM Jags and I loved it for a while. It plays very nice and the sound was good to me. My buddy has this dead simple '77 Musicmaster that sounds terrific though. The playability's the same but I hate playing my jag simply because of how it sounds in comparison now. I'm considering going down the Tele road. It seems like you can get a nice Tele for a decent price whereas to have a truly nice Jag you have to put a lot of money into it, either by buying one straight up or putting a lot of money into modifications. Does anyone here have any solutions/recommendations? I like all the features of the Jag and how comfortable it is, though I never really use the upper tone circuit and I could mimic what's done with the high pass/choke with an EQ pedal. I adore the vibrato system though. I had a guitar before with a Tele style body with no cutaway and I didn't like how it dug into my ribs while sitting (I hunch).

>>69894262
>i hunch

Sit properly, it'll improve your ease of playing down the road. I know it sounds crazy, but trust me

I've been learning guitar for about 4 months with this bad boy. I took lessons at my local college and now I can read sheet and played some duets with my gf (I borrowed the teacher's Tacoma Chief for the recital, what a lovely acoustic built like an electric).

So I have a POD HD and an old Vox 30W Valvetronix from my newbie days. I want to have the volume to start being able to play with drummers without worry but I wouldn't have much money to spend, maybe $500 max. What would be the best approach? Finding a cheap combo amp that has an FX loop? Trying to scrounge for good deals on a power amp and cab? Or got the PA method?

>>69894262
Just change the pickups dude, that's probably 90% of the difference you're hearing. I recommend Pete Biltoft, he'll custom wind you anything you want (for any sound you have in mind) for really affordable prices.

You retards know the tummy cut was designed to let the guitar rest comfortably against your stomach, right? The cut itself was designed for your ribs, Americans were thin in the 50s. The cut is not designed to let the top of the guitar fit snugly against the bottom of your bulbous pot belly.

Only using their fingers or a pick.

Seconded.

I'm still angry about my first bass teacher being such a purist and only teaching me and indoctrinating me on fingerstyle.

But hey playing with a pick is real easy I picked it up fast.

>naming your guitars

>>69903940
I'm trying to get better with a pick. My new bass has an active preamp and it's pretty aggressive sounding when played with a pick. I regret being a dickhead when I was younger and buying into the idea that fingerstyle guys are better. Also Cody Wright and Bobby Vega are pretty inspirational players.
