Edgy

Third for eginner

any places/recs that sell electronic kits? i need pickups, tone/volume knobs, input jack, switch

Reminder that obsessing over the perfect tone is a complete waste of time. Non-guitarists can't tell the difference between a Squier/Epiphone or Fender/Gibson. They think all distortion sounds exactly the same, and your expensive Vox tube amp sounds no different than a Marshall MG series.

why not a mean laney head instead of this shitty chinese blackstar

>>69984586

It sounds great! Really solid gain channels, and there's a ton of options for voicing on both. :D

>>69984572
Please tell me that isn't a sticker on the SG.

>>69984615

I was going to get the matching laney head, but it was only 15 watts and I play larger shows so I couldn't justify the purchase. The blackstar sounds pretty awesome imo!

>>69984654

It is, I didn't put it there. My uncle did when he bought it. He's a huge greatful dead fan and wanted to pay tribute to Jerry Garcia. The guitar turns 40 years old in 2019!

Is alright. The bass sounds like crap though...actually farts if you want specifics.

>>69985298
As is? Hell no, it doesnt belong in a finished product, theres quite a bit of sloppiness. There are some parts where youre really solid. Maybe its a latency issue, maybe youre over thinking timing. Youre not a bad player, just a little sluggish. I definetly think you could play that part well enough to stick it in a mix. Youre on the right track. Change your bass sound, though. Keep it up, youre not bad

God damn, bass is way nastier on the fingers than guitar. I've got huge blisters after only 3 minutes of practicing plucking and popping. I guess I'll stay a guitarist and only play bass occasionally with a pick. Don't know where this "bass is easy" meme came from

My mistake, it's actually a 2000.

If I put a poly finish fender strat (3 tone sunburst, red tort pick guard with a vintage tint maple gloss neck & fretboard) in an AC cooled environment sitting in front of a window getting exposed to UV rays, will the guitar age like guitars of old? Or will it cause damage, e.g. frets, the wood, pups, etc. expand and contract from it?

sometimes its due to poor right hand technique, sometimes its as you said overthinking timing.

is it the tube dirt plus lack of bass frequencies thats sounding bad?

>>69986152
most probably a construction problem since i made the nut myself and i got it a fretjob a couple months ago, the action is as low as it can get without buzzing too, it's making me go bananas since pretty much the only strings that sound in tune are the A and the high E

improv over this and post it here

>>69985893
>though i doubt i can get them much better myself

Just simplify them.

Sounds like you much prefer a more melodic style of playing so you want a melody to echo, whether it be a guitar riff or a vocalist. As long as you maintain some kind of groove around the drummer's strong counts you can ignore all the traditional role stuff like driving low end and crescendos for drum fills. That's where bass gets interesting.

This is a nice example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Y0yNS9-OvQ

>>69985981
>>69985864
You might get it to change but you would probably have to leave it up for a year to notice a difference... Poly guitars do yellow, they just don't check and dry out like old nitro finishes. Guitar stores leave guitars out in their windows all the time, shouldn't damage it.

I wouldn't bother on a sunburst finish, it won't look drastically different even if it did change colors

>>69986239
you don't need to plug in acoustic guitars...

You had to build calluses when you first started guitar. You'll have do the same for bass. Before you know it, it wont be a problem

because you don't/can't actually have to act on it now.

Spend 300 bucks on an amp or spend 300 bucks on pedals to make current amp not sound totally like shit?

>>69987041
Amp and later a zoom multifx instead of pedals

>>69987041
they say spend your money on your amp first but i got a nice amp and ended up using pedals for my gain anyways because it was single channel, no effects loop and i ended up needing those things latter

$300 on pedals seems excessive though

>>69987073
>$300 on pedals seems excessive though
It's like 3 pedals...

>>69987127
what all pedals are you going to get? what amp are you using now?

>>69987156
Oh I'm not the same anon, I was just pointing out how expensive these stupid little things are. In fact, $300 might not even get you 3 pedals since the average price for pedals on Reverb is $120.

>>69987156
I'm on a MG15DFX. Thinking of a reverb, fuzz, and one other one to round it all out

>>69987207
ah, i assumed you'd just be getting pedals for the overdrive etc not stuff like reverb. i'd spend the $300 on a quality amp desu, usually if you're using a cheapo amp they at least have a bunch of effects and stuff like reverb built in so yours must be really barebones

>>69985220
Usually poor witness point at bridge saddle or nut. This means the string is arcing over the nut slot/bridge saddle in a smooth curve instead of at a sharply defined point. Press down firmly on the the string on both sides of the point of contact. Usually that'll fix it.

Nut may need to be filed. Or maybe something went screwy with the bridge. Rare cases you may have got a bum string with a defect in the metal. Neck could be warped but if that is the case you've got bigger concerns than intonation already.

The average bass line in rock or punk is easy, especially if you're coming from a guitar background and go straight to using a pick (being lazy). That is what people are referring to with 'bass is easy'.

>>69987480
>go straight to using a pick

not really lazy, the best punk bassists use picks

>>69987503
I'm referring specifically to lazy ass guitar players who took up bass because band needed a bassist and guitarist drew the short straw. It wasn't an indictment of the use of pick on bass as a viable technique.

I'm a drummer and a guitarist, been a drummer longer than I have played guitar. And i find lately I enjoy solo classical guitar much more than any band or orchestra. There's something beautiful about it, telling a story all on its own it's melodic and rhythmic all at the same time.

good drums are fucking expensive man.
a kit you actually want to record is probably sub$1500. if you really know what you're doing some cheaper vintage kits can apply. add on another $1k in cymbals, then another $1k in the interface and mics at least.
then yeah you just worry about the skins and sticks. acoustic drums after the intermediate zone are really fucking expensive.

drummers are cuckolds. everyone knows this.

like think of the all time greats, countless classical composers/pianists, williams, coltrane, armstrong, entwistle etc. who could all play literally anything physically possible you put in front of them. how else can "best" be defined at that level of proficiency.

If you want to see an actual flamenco guitarist, listen to an actual flamenco guitarist. The reason the video has 51 million viewers is non guitar players don't know whats good.

Well by music I was obviously encompassing performing it too. I'm not the shitposter btw, I play guitar too but mainly drums because I enjoy it so much. And the mindset is clearly different, the first thing my teacher ever told me was to play for the music and to throw ego out the window and he was right.

At the end of the day what do you want from your drummer, stability and versatility or some knobhead desperate for "recognition" by playing an entire set of fills?

probably because

B. the G is often too big for its slot in the nut, especially if you go up in string gauges from the factory set

C. It's inherently a bit different intonation wise

Someone asked about the GH head last thread. I love it, one of those bits of gear that surprised me with how versatile it is.

While it won't give you that jangly Fender clean sound there's nothing lacking in the tones is can give you if you dial the EQ right, it does jazz especially well (even on a wankers axe like the Ibanez). With the gain on 0 it also takes quite a bit of volume before it breaks up. The 100w version would no doubt make that better if you wanted uber-clean sounds at a bonkers level.

But the gain is where it shines. It's like a juiced up JCM800 but ever so slightly more modern and dark. A bit mids heavy by default but the EQ section is very subtle in its responsiveness, quite a wide range for each knob. The gain boost can give you silly amounts of distortion too so that's pretty dank. Can get hairy on the background finger noise if you're not careful though. But it's also an extremely clean overdrive, even with unnecessary oodles of gain you can hear every in a chord, that clarity and punch of a lick or run. Very juicy.

Top head for rock based things even just plugged directly into it.

>>69989510
Cool man, I promise not to shit the place up.

After learning a scale you can use it to help solo during improv over chords or whatever

If you learn multiple scales you can mix and match them together during soloing to make it more creative

They also work great to develop melodies


Do you play with other people or make your own music?

dont listen to him about scales to improv, you'll sound like a bedroom guitar player.

Learn all of your chord inversions and arpeggios, and look into the circle of fifths. Learn scales to understand why the chords are what they are.

Anyone can write a cute instrumental ukulele tunes

Learn some different chords such as 7ths, maj7 and min7s

Blending these in with basic chords can make it sound nice, romantic and a bit jazzy.
once you have your smooth chord progression you want a melody. Now you can either make it up from scratch which is the hard way or you can learn a few scales and take from them to piece together the lead

Just remember that it's ok for it to sound horrible, your most favorite artists sometimes make horrible songs that never get released, only their good songs do

You can download a DAW like audacity to record these pieces while you start out and as you get more confident you can buy a more ambitious one

Bonehead did his job, he just had to play big bar chords and stay in time, which he did well.

Noel isn't a brilliant guitarist but he isn't shit either. Can write a decent solo.

I have noticed with Noel his playing sounds kind of amateurish though, does anyone else agree? Like if you listen to a good guitarist like Frusciante/Page you can tell that Noel is pretty 'meh'. His playing just doesn't flow as well I think. I'd like to hear some further input onto this as to why Noel doesn't sound quite as good despite not necesarily playing anything less complex than some of Frusciantes level of solos

>>69989952
you're not ready to progress on the uke until you've played vampire weekend on it at least once

Got a question about the tremolo.

Am I getting this right?

Decking the trem => tightening the tremolo down to the body, which prevents using the trem to pitch up notes while allowing it to down pitch notes?

Blocking the trem => jamming the trem into place, preventing any whammy bar fuckery?

Ok assuming those definitions are correct, my question is primarily about decking the trem. If I deck the trem, how wary do I have to be about the tuning and gauge of my strings? Will I notice a difference in how soft or hard it is to use my whammy if I significantly change the gauge and tuning of the strings? Or is it so negligible that I can just deck my trem and forget about it?

>>69989856
>Can write a decent solo

Still simple stuff.

Noel is a very average guitarist and says so himself. His strumming patterns are nearly all identical and he's not very creative when it comes to incorporating riffs into his songs. Frusciante is brilliant at that, and although his parts and solos aren't particularly complex his use of effects and funk-like style makes his playing more prominent. Like his solo at the end of Dani California, piece of piss to play but he makes it sound awesome.

>>69989985
