I love the rubbery sound you get from single coils and a compressor set to max.

>>70014375
>I should at least try a compressor pedal, right?
Thick compression is great for funky riffs like this:

https://youtu.be/mMPfYYE5CBE

>>70014375
They can be useful for various reasons.
As a compressor of course (sustain, evening things out a little I guess)
It's good as a boost as well.

Whatever, I like it on my clean channel to add a little more comp and as a very slight boost.

Got a Memory Boy Delay pedal for Christmas, and I just spend 12 hours locked in my basement with my friend , writing and recording music while high on stimulants. How've the holidays been for you, anons?

>>70014240
>it's dirt cheap so who cares if it's broken after some years
consumer electronics designed to be disposable are a waste of money, especially with something as relatively simple as a guitar pedal. for slightly more money you could buy a full sized pedal, have the ability to repair it, and have it indefinitely. all electronic components will fail eventually, once your mini pedal breaks it's gone forever. I'd rather have a bigger board with 5 pedals I can keep, repair, and rely upon than a board half the size with 5 pedals I'll have to replace every 10-15 years. guitar pedal manufactures have finally figured out reselling the same pedal to over and over is better than selling you one once. mini pedals are a bad value and the space issue is really an industry manufactured non issue with most guitarists

It's just turned midnight.

Happy New Year, /gg/!

>>70014597
Disposable? Waste of money?
A pedal is $20 which is nothing compared to meme pedals.

Furthermore, I don't believe this disposable thingy. In the end, the components are pretty easy to change even with a small pedal.

Come on, we are not talking about Apple selling overpriced shit, with everything soldered and difficult to replace.

"Chips" come in different packages, and in a small formfactor pedal you'd also get them miniaturized as a SMD.

The casino is fully hollow. ( will feedback more if you use lots of distortion or volume) Still, I think they're great, my favorite inexpensive hollowbodies.

>>70015320
I'm haven't played particularly long so embarrassingly the distinction of semi and hollow is more based on appearance to me. Read that they make for extremely versatile guitars which kinda sold me.

>>70015599
so play like jimi but clean and slower

got it

>>70015645
Yeah, but there's more to it than that. Start by learning to put Diminished 7th passing chords in your chord changes.

So if you're going from Cmaj7 to Dm7, throw a Dbdim7 in between, for example.

x 3 5 4 5 x

x 4 5 3 5 x

x 5 7 5 6 x

>>70015340
You're so fucking stupid that you don't even understand that the video you posted (>>70015130) just reinforces the other Anons point about the small components being impossible to repair. That line of silver dots on the left side of the circuit is a set of resistors, you'd just burn up the replacement resistor and destroy the traces trying to replace one with a standard soldering iron.

Shut the fuck up, dumbass.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I got a new bass and it has a 'pickup blending pot'. Can someone explain what blending pickups does?

>>70015879
You're probably used to seperate volume controls for each pickup. A blend poti reduces the volume of one pickup while increasing the volume of the other. Middle position is both pickups 100%, all the way clockwise is the neck pickup solo, all the way counterclockwise is the bridge pickup solo. Everything in between is, well, in between these states.

Is there a good book or a pdf or a spreadsheet or anything with chord shapes?
Something like this guy posted
>>70015836
Whenever I try and record some progressions with some maj7 or m7 chords, I mostly rely on the shapes shown in his post (i.e. where the root is on the A string). But I'd like to know them in other positions as well, together with all the other sexy chords, like dims and alts and doms

Whats the best way to jam just to drums?
Say there's a drummer in a room just playing and you wanna join in, but no bassist around. You're not gonna play you pentatonic licks over just a drumbeat because it's gonna sound poor. What funky shit do you play?

>>70017099
Play anything that is rhythmically interesting and works with the drums.

>>70016926
actually this book is not that great

>>70017142
This, and turn distortion up a notch with a few barred low end strokes to compensate. You won't be anywhere near as limited as you think you will.

>>70017142
>>70017197
yeah I know, but like what. got any videos for ideas?

Guys, I've had my acoustic guitar for around six years, but haven't played it for the majority due to school stuff and depression. Now that I want to go back to it, I don't know what to do. I know lots of chords and I'm into folk and bossa nova fingerpicking styles but I don't know whether or not I need to work on mastering techniques getting a repertoire of songs under my belt.

I think they're cool but I don't really know how to apply the information to my practice. Fast alternate picking with a downward pickslant feels awkward to me. I guess I've always been an upward pickslanter, since I prefer to rest the heel of my thumb against the body of the guitar or on the lower strings. I lack speed and control when picking with my hand turned like pic related. Maybe I just need more practice with that technique.

>>70017915
I just stumbled across them, seems like it's probably a scam or a waste of money so I wanted to hear other people's opinions on it. If other people consider it useful or worth it then I don't mind spending money, it's about the same price as a couple of guitar lessons and potentially has a lot more useful information.

>>70017953
I don't know how much you should worry about being an upwards or downwards pickslanter. John Mclaughlin and Marty Friedman both play primarily with upstrokes and they're both super fast players. Maybe not as fast as Yngwie or Batio, but still plenty fast.

I am alone for new years and now I also have to feel this, fuck you.

what can I gain or lose from adjusting my truss rod? I know what adjusting it would do but is there any significant benefits or downsides to doing it?

>>70018402
Don't touch, you don't know what you're doing.

>>70018347
>I am alone

wrong, us talentless plebs are keeping you company.

>>70018402
crank about 100 degrees clockwise for best action. if it doesn't slide perfectly, just give a little more pressure.

>>70018421
fair enough, I'll stay away, but for future reference, what could happen if I had not asked and just done?

>>70018402
What you can gain is a straighter neck that will give you lower action near the 12 fret and maybe fix your intonation if you're having there. What you can lose is your neck. You can break your neck or pop off your fret board, but that's really only if you're a retard who cranks the truss rod way too hard. Your neck should only need small adjustments, if it requires large adjustments you should probably take it to a real tech because there might be larger problems lurking that you don't know about.

>>70018506
I put very little confidence in my observations, how would I know for sure that my guitar actually needs this to be done?

>>70018582
Press down any string on the first and BEHIND the last fret. Check how much room the string has in that position from the 7th or 8th fret, should be 0.010 to 0.020 inches

>>70018582
You need a straight edge that you lay across the fret board. The real tool is something called a a neck relief gauge, but you can get buy with a standard ruler if it's long enough. Just lay it across all the frets and if it looks like there's more than a few milimeters of distance between the 12th fret and the ruler then your neck needs adjusting. In rare cases your neck can actually be bent convexly instead of concavely and if that's the case the only way to fix it (if you don't have a biflex truss rod) is to take off the fret board so you can take out the truss rod.

My dad used to be a violinist before becoming a guitarist. He says that violins are a bit shit, very non-versatile. He does say that being a violinist makes him very aware of being in tune or not, and he dislikes a lot of guitar music because its not perfectly in tune.

So never play violin, it will ruin a lot of music for you.

Well obviously, Jimi wasn't blasting Voodoo Child straight out of the womb. IIRC he would practice upwards of 12 hours a day.

My point is the greatest instrumentalists utilise their skill-set with total freedom. Playing solely via pitch, transposing on the spot, instantaneously knowing what to play and where. That's musical instinct and a brain mechanism I totally believe some are born with.

Pretty confusing. I want to say he's in Eb standard, but there are times when he's up high on the neck and it still sounds like there's a low Gb on an open string, which I can't figure out how that would make sense for any other chord

Either way, these are close to what the two main chords are. Everything else seems to be a variation of those. Hopefully just that helps a bit

Jimi would sit his ass on his dads couch, watch tv and strum his cheap denelectro for hours on end during the summer. Most of that gave him basic understanding of guitar and where to find the notes he was looking for. Playing for Curtis Knight and the Squires and eventually little Richard helped him find his own sound and showmanship along with all the other blues tricks he learned from other guitarists

>>70020162
I am recovering from a concussion and I shouldnt drink, got very drunk last night and decided that I shouldnt get any more beer for today, so its a good decision I guess. But now I just want more beer.

it's weird how simple a lot of really strong songs are once you pick them apart

is the secret to writing catchy stuff not trying too hard? i floundered all day then randomly found a three note riff that's better than everything i had attempted before it

>>70020126
Pick it up you dunce. Same thing happened to me with Fed Ex. I just request for them to hold it early in the morning and I picked it up around lunch time.

>>70020301
Fuck man that sucks. Yeah you can call or request it online.

In my case for Fed Ex it was really early in the morning and I requested online they hold the package. They couldn't hold it at the main facility and had to send it to some smaller pick up facility. They usually send those out around 9 A.M. to the pick up facility.

At least you can try pick it up Monday.

trying to learn guitar in my room alone. i have a 96-97 mim strat. what amp should i get? the most i want to spend is 300 USD... would feel better if i spent less at around 200

>warpigs in a tele

Roland Cube if it's just for bedroom playing

Lots of EQ and effects to mess around with

>>70020420
Nor do i, the chapman modern tele sounds okay, so does the blackout loaded jim root tele. Though it doesn't feel very nice.

Could be cool, i like the shape and i'd like a guitar with warpigs. Got a guitar with emg 81/85s and one with a SH-4 JB in the bridge

Worth experimenting

>>70020373
>>70020425
agreed, a roland cube is pretty cheap and very versatile. My buddy brought one over and it was decent against my tube head. good little amp

>>70020420
the same as any other guitar with warpigs in them

That feel when moving into an apartment so can't play loud

What are some small amps with headphone outs?

>>70020479
>My buddy brought one over

Another positive, they're light and perfect for jamming over at friends' houses

Powerful for their size too.

Could someone recommend me an affordable modeling amp that can keep up with a drum set?

>>70020373
Get a Yamaha THR10. It really is the best bedroom amp and it shouldn't cost much more than $200 if you look in the right places.

Maybe your THR is fucked up or you need to adjust the presents. I can crank the gain on mine all the way up and it sounds like a fucking dream. You can get a lot of different sounds out of that amp considering it's size and price.

>>70018702
A more intuitive way is to put a capo on first fret and hold down string on last fret. Check distance between string and top of 12th fret. Take a business card and slide it between string and 12th fret to measure. If string is hitting the top of the business card and you can't slide it between, loosen truss rod by 1/8th of a turn. Remeasure. If string is visibly higher than the business card, tighten by 1/8th turn. Remeasure.

You're aiming for the distance between string and fret to be about the same width as the business card.

So what's the actual tonal difference between P Basses and Jazz Basses? I look online but all I read is generic "P Basses sit just right in a mix" or "Just play what you want :)))))))" bullshit.

My sound is pretty low-mid heavy so I'd want the darker one desu

>>70026528
Js have a more scooped sound for slap bass.

Ps are usually more punchy since the single pickup is higher on the body towards the neck.

Running a J with only the neck pickup will give you P bass like tones.

Project time!

This is a Kramer D1 I snagged for super cheap last month. Plan was to either string it BEAD if I liked it or de-fret it if I was meh on it.

Bass is meh but acceptable and I think it will work just fine as a fretless. So off go the frets sometime this week. Also it currently has a Hipshot Kickass bridge installed. I like that bridge a lot.

>>70027604
it's like a p bass (mostly), but it has that snap coming off of the bridge if you slap/pop. you can get a lot of extra snarl on your pops if you play a p/j, or it's good for soloing if you play jazz.

the guy from etid plays a pj, and the old bassist from saves the day does too. its good for students as well if you are doing student type jazz shit so you can use the bridge, and then use the p pickup for your emo/punk/rock bullshit that you do on the side.

hello bros, hows everyone? im alone but im happy as shit. who knows, maybe cause im just getting older and what the hell.

anyway, i wanted to ask you about les pauls. its been my kinda dream guitar for a while and i have some moneys so im going after one. but im kinda confused with the models and stuff, s maybe you guys can guide me. im still on low budget so im going for something like a les paul special price. used. i have an old b.c. rich wich covers my metal needs (not with emg's, but stock bc rich humb's, but i like it, its a nj series from 98). i want the les paul for more experimental music.. droney, noisey, sometimes clean ambient-folk stuff.. who knows. ive played a couple oe epi les pauls and ilike a lot how they feel,quite comfortable with the les paul model... by the way ive noticed sunn o))) uses les pauls with p90s pick ups.. i dont want to do what they do. but could reach those points sometimes..feel free to suggest whats better.

on the picture we have:
1- Gibson Les Paul Studio (2012)
2-Gibson Les Paul Special. (2000)
3-Gibson Les Paul '60s Tribute - Honeyburst
4- Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro

they are around the same price, except number 4 wich is almost the double..dont think i can afford that but im interested in info about its pickups. its the only one that in the ad tells wich pick ups are.. and they are classic 57.. rest are stock i supose, guitar 2 and 3 have p90's right? or are they different?

guide me! thanks, and have a nice night, 9 miutes to new year here lol.
