Guitar is fun

I posted this in the last thread and didn't get a response: Hello /mu/. I am a new bass player and I recently picked up my first decent amp. I got a fender rumble 25 and it worked perfectly for the first few days I had it. Then out of nowhere I started getting this weird static noise. It's not affected by turning contour or overdrive on or off and is present at any and all equalization settings. I even messed with all the eq settings on my bass and it is still there. Is it likely I broke something or is there a defect with the amp? Could it be my bass? I bought coverage/extended warranty with it when I bought it, so I can either get it fixed or replaced but I'd like to know what kind of issue I may be having.

What song do you play to impress girls? This is my go to and it work 90% of the time.

Anyone bought any Ezhi&Aka pedals? Thinking about getting one.

Just worried about the pedals dying or becoming faulty, though apparently the dudes behind them are really great.

I really don't think the parents are forcing these kinds of kids to play. Prodigies generally push themselves harder than anyone else ever could. They just have this drive where they NEED to practice 9+hrs a day

>>70055897

Lots of Nirvana songs are quite easy, if a bit boring. Heart Shaped Box is good to learn imo, it is Drop D but I often just play it in E Standard and don't care about not having the low D.

Blackbird by the Beatles is pretty good, as is Julia, for fingerstyle. Try and play different songs that teach you different things, your right hard is just as important as your left, don't forget that.

I'd also suggest practice the major scale with alternate picking until you're sick of it. Music theory is really important for good playing and I'm kind of kicking myself for not learning it sooner.

>>70055755

Posted this yesterday but I got this fender mustang 90. What do you guys think? There is not as much hum from the pickups as i thought there would be and it sounds great. What do you guys think?

>>70056251

It's 24" scale right? How are you finding that?

Looks great, though I'd prefer a maple neck.

>>70056251
How does the neck feel?

Especially on the high frets for soloing?

I don't know whether I use them if the high frets are awkward

>>70056240
practice a scale in your range with a guitar or piano

>>70056277
>Especially on the high frets for soloing?
lol

>>70056268
Yes it is. It took me a little bit to get used to but now im liking it. Its easier to reach for noted i would usually be stretching for. I would also prefer maple but it doesnt come with it.
>>70056277
The higher frets are great the strings are much easier to bend which helps me keep them in tune.

>>70056187
I cant sing at all.

>>70056310

I've been wanting a humbucker a guitar for a while now, and would like a shorter neck scale to get a rougher sound. Been debating between a Les Paul or a Mustang with humbuckers, love my Fender Strat and every Les Paul and other similar guitars I've tried feel and sound pretty average, but haven't tried a Mustang yet.

>>70056291

How do you know your range when you can't even hold a note anywhere?

>>70056357
play a note, try to match it
if you can't pick up that you're harmonizing with it then idk what to tell ya

>>70056368

I mean I can do that. Tbh I've barely tried singing, a bit embarrassed because I still live at home and people are around y'know, is there any way to start singing the right way? Or just try and record myself and gitgud?

I'm planning to use it for:
-general computer sound output
-record and speak over a mic
-record, play and practice my bass

Any objections?

>>70056567

Nope, heard great things. Just, if you're getting a high output instrument in the future, you might want to invest in an audio interface (like the Scarlett 2i4) which has padding on the inputs to give it more headroom before the signal clips. You probably won't though, so should be fine. I love my Scarlett 2i2.

>>70056391
Nigga just sing if yourw gonna sing in front of a crowd of people then its not relevant being embarrassed instead listen to some queen and learn from the man of throat himself

>>70056251
Does it stay in tune?

>>70056611

I'm fine with singing in front of people if I can sing well. Problem is I can't. I used to have the same problem with guitar, but now I'm competent so I'm okay.

Lol worthless

>>70056826

Never tried a mini-strat, but figured I might just like a Mustang because I love the feel of my Strat so much. It's just well made, whereas I've even tried a Gibson LP Standard at some ridiculous price, and found it to feel pretty average. It's probably just the neck profile, but I found the Gibson to have buzzing frets and highish action, whereas my Strat has lower action with less fret buzz. Maybe it was a bad Gibson, but I don't know, every Les Paul, Gibson or not, has been like that.

I just bought a relatively cheap acoustic guitar, I had been wanting to learn an instrument for a while and I finally have a job and can afford buying shit so I decided to treat myself, I have never played one of these things before but I downloaded everything from the OP and I searched around on youtube for beginner stuff and found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppoiecarX-o which was actually kind of helpful so far, like for example I wouldn't have known that when you strum while pressing a string/fret or whatever you are supposed to press with the tips of your fingers and not just your fingers in general, that was really helpful, and I just practiced trying to do that with each string for like an hour and a half last night, and I've gotten decent with the first three strings (sorry still haven't memorized each string letter).

Is horizontal connected playing a must or is vertical okay?

depends how serious you wanna get. if your goal is to be playing in bands that'll make money (outside of pop), then horizontal playing is very useful. read the advancing guitarist if you wanna go off the deep end

>Prodigies generally push themselves harder than anyone else ever could. They just have this drive where they NEED to practice 9+hrs a day
I'm not considering myself to be a prodigy but back when I started I was spending multiple hours on my guitar like that. It wasn't as much of a need, but rather that it felt very distracting and relaxing, I completely lose track of time when I'm practicing something with a metronome in the back because I'm just focusing on the tempo and my playing.
On top of that, it's very satisfying (at least to me) to notice, or hear from someone that you've made progress.

>>70054794
>>70058235
>Prodigies
Doesn't usually mean shit in the end. This just means they were unusual at a certain younger age. The reality is most child prodigies are only seen as "exceptional" until everyone else around them catches up to their skill level and then they're not viewed as "special" anymore. Being 7 and having the same average skill as someone in their late teens is something to notice, but wait until that same kid is in his late teens and still has that same average skill level. People stop caring then and that's usually the way it goes for most child prodigies.

>>70058463
>Doesn't usually mean shit in the end

It can - if they continue the work , they are always one or more steps ahead, this, of course is rare.

I have seen 2 "prodigies" (not guitarists) that have worked at it and remain exceptional, world class players, while others have faded as they tried to coast on what they had done in their childhood.

The ones that make all have talent/natural aptitude, hard work, usually a very sharp, analytical mind and prodigious memory and to top it off being able to work with others is a real bonus.

>>70058573
>remain exceptional
Yeah, among literally hundreds of thousands of other exceptional guitarists who weren't prodigies when they were younger. Almost all prodigies fall into obscurity because technical skill isn't the same as creativity. Just because you can type 1000 words a minute without any grammatical errors or typos doesn't mean you can write a book anybody wants to read.

>if a foot compares itself to a yard
I'm sure it seems that way from your limited perspective. The reality is technical guitar players are a dime a dozen, the only thing making a prodigy "special" is having any sort of technical skill at a younger age. Once again, there's nothing particularly special about being a technically skilled guitar player as an adult, there are literally hundreds of thousands of them floating around.

>>70059561
>being a technically skilled guitar player

>>70059701
I am, maybe you're not?

>>70054794
>prodigis generally push themselves harder than anyone else ever could

That's absolute bullshit. There are very few "prodigies" who are also geniuses or have any kind of intrinsic talent that sets them apart.

The only difference between a "prodigy" and a non-prodigy is that the "prodigy" decided or was convinced that learning a skill or perfecting a talent was a better was to spend their time that sitting in front of a TV or videogame, getting lost in books, or running around outside.

>>70059718
>I am
then let me invite you to read this post again >>70059305

There are tons of technique in those guitarists (and by extension by anyone who covers them) that do not correspond to "average skill"

Is this average skill?
>>70059018

>>70059764
>There are tons of technique in those guitarists (and by extension by anyone who covers them) that do not correspond to "average skill"
Like I said, from your limited perspective I'm sure that's true. Move out of the boonies and to somewhere like L.A. or Nashville and you'll find plenty of players with comparable skill levels. They're nothing special.

>>70054986
The Japanese prefer perfection of skills and scholastic learning as opposed to "just pick it up and play!' that happens a lot in the west. You'll be hard pressed to find a Japanese guitarist even in some shitty nu metal band that doesn't know musical theory as well as a concert pianist.

Sorry, only some hayseed in the middle of buttfuck nowhere would get this riled up over a little real talk about a couple of overrated 3rd tier shredders. All this boils down to is you got upset because I pointed out Guthrie Govan and John Petrucci aren't really remarkable players in a sea of other technical players. It's just immature fanboy behavior of you to argue otherwise.

>>70060202
DESU the world's truly good guitar players are flamenco and classical guitarists. Most of the people worshipped for being the "greatest guitarists of all time" are hugely overrated, especially in metal.

>>70060202
>because I pointed out Guthrie Govan and John Petrucci aren't really remarkable players in a sea of other technical players.
That's not what I was arguing about. I'm just saying that their songs aren't "average level".
If they are so common, just go ahead and cover them. Surely you're not worse than the "average guitarist" right ?

>>70060265
I hate classicalfag's attitude and disdain for everything that isn't classical but they're right on a lot of points.

So I finally invested in some pedals. Currently i have them attached to a piece of 2x4 with velcro, but the velcro is failing. I want to build a pedalboard, probably with wood. My question is how are the pedals usually attached to a store bought pedalboard? Are they just lying in there loose?

thoughts on a tele with or without a rib/tummy cut?

not sure if i should get the option on my partscaster.

pros: weight reduction, more comfortable

cons: might affect the balance since i am just getting a body and neck separately

>>70060960
IMO it's not such a thick guitar that it's worth it

>>70060873
>posts stale memes
I guess I nailed it then.

>>70061032
yeah i was kinda thinking that, i played one the other day without it and it seemed fine for comfort (even though it was only 10 mins).

i'm kinda stuck in that my body is on order, so i will need to make the decision very soon. and i also won't know the final weight of the body to know if i need weight reduction or not until it gets here.

the wood was rated at "medium to medium light weight swamp ash".

it seems that the only teles that come with them are the old fender deluxe and the new fender elite models.

How do you write a song that is legitimatley in C Lydian without it just sounding like it's in G major? Is there a secret chord I'm unaware of?

>>70061519
your tonal center should be C
modal music doesn't work like tonal music with common chord progressions, use a two chord vamp or something

>>70060684
And yet you're here.

>>70062366
Man, while I hate the last FE's artstyles, the music's still pretty good.

Anyway I'm not really setting any goals for speed or playing because I really think it's impossible to gain anything but a few bpm and I'd rather not get some bad habits.
But for 2017 I'm aiming to learn how to read sheet music faster than one bar in ten minutes, composing with something in mind (currently it's kinda random and "what works"), and accomodating once I get a new guitar.

>>70053882
Kinda seems you're trying to shove as many notes as quickly as possible which isn't an easy recipe for success. Noises at the end are fine in a live setting with the crowd into it just don't over do it hendrix

>>70061519

The secret is that most chords and chord progressions from tonal music pull towards the Ionian mode, the key you're actually in. So as long as you use those progressions they will pull the listener into hearing a song in G Major not C lydian, like this anon said

Velcro but you can buy better velcro. Look for extra strength or industrial strength or some branding like that. It also helps to glue the velcro down instead of relying on the cheap adhesive it comes with.

I'm looking for the cheapest playable acoustic I can get my hands on. I usually play electric, and my rig is pretty sweet (MIM strat with AC15), but I just want an acoustic to play acoustic shit and so that I don't have to fire up my amp to play every time. (also to get pussy) Any suggestions?

>>70065198
walmart

>>70065188
i started learning the chords while doing the regular book stuff on the side, and i believe that now after a few weeks that if i was at a high school party and just started changing chords on an acoustic girls would be all about it

>>70065198
craigslist, you should get a yamaha FS800 or FG800. they are $199 new and really fucking great for the money.

>>70065198
Classical or western?

>>70065188
Basic chords and the ability to sing while playing. Nobody cares about anything else.
>>70065206
Playable meaning I won't have to amputate my hand after playing, and the guitar sounds half decent too. I've played on some shitty acoustics (action way too fucking high, goes out of tune in 10 minutes, is a pain in the ass to tune, uncomfortable neck shape), and I really would like to not have that experience again. But I also don't want to spend more than $200-$300 on one, since I already have my strat. I feel like I won't get something like that from Walmart
>>70065255
Thank you, I'll check it out.

>>70065290
Western, no interest in classical right now.

>>70065294
FS800 is the smaller concert sized, adn the FG800 is the dreadnought sized. i have the FG and think i would prefer the smaller one for comfort.

the 8xx series (this year) as opposed to the 7xx series (older years) means that they scalloped the internal bracing inside and they are now REALLY FUCKING LOUD as a result which is great

>>70064835
>Rosewood
I know this is /gg/, but how does this affect other instruments that are completely reliant on rosewood for their sound? I'm thinking specifically marimbas.

I work at a smaller record label. My advice to every single artist is to hire a good merch designer because you sure as hell aren't going to make any money off recordings unless your fans are loyal enough to start buying special edition vinyl and things like that.

>>70066024
you're missing the point

we have sustainable endemic woods that are great for guitar, rosewood doesn't matter, it's just used for cost

>>70066011
that might work selling guitars made with rosewood within the europoor union. no more rosewood from china for you guys anymore though. no rosewood from america or mexico either

>>70066028
This. Records are generally more expensive then they make. Its sort of self promotion. Money comes from live gigs (but if you do your own music on small scalle, they will mostly rip you off ant pay absolute bullsit if anything), merch, teaching a leting other musicians hire you for anything.

In other words. Almost no chance to make money as a band with own music. But a big chance some will make money out of you. As a small scale band, you are not the one who gets paid, but the one who pays.
On the other hand, as a freelance musician who plays anythigt thats paid, you can make some buck.

WTF even is CITES and exactly why is anyone obligated to do what they say?

>>70065726
who do you think decided it was best to move production of everything to china? "the market" i.e. american capitalists

They've already beaten the U.S. though. I hope you're not under the delusion that the rest of the world can afford (or wants to afford) an overpriced American guitar. The reason all the big guitar manufactures have factories overseas is to stay competitive in a global marketplace. Fender even has a factory in Mexico because Americans can't afford (or don't want to afford) an American made instrument. A "large sustainable amount of great wood" isn't going to change that fact.

In band I make most money from (we play on weddings, proms and similar stuff) we just play anything thats currently in the radio, and some evergreens. Also, we have a few song for classical dances.

>>70066283
you're trying to make some really dumb nonsense point without even following the fucking posts

europe has nothing on the U.S for guitar manufacturing, they won't "finally get into guitar making" because of a fucking rosewood ban lmao, we export more wood for guitars than any other country in the world and we use plenty here to make guitars in the country

>>70066326

Such as?

>>70066421
For example? Still got the blues is waltz, Crazy little thing called love as jive, I can see clearly now as a cha-cha etc... There is plenty similar stuff.

>rosewood regulations might make some companies use manmade materials more often

i cant wait

>>70066476
Ah, I thought you meant classical music, never mind.

>>70066528
Nope. Classical dances have nothing to do with classical music. Confusing but still...

>>70066220
Chinese consumers who love Rosewood are the problem

>china
>heheh lets traffic and smuggle rosewood xd

is there anything these stupid chinks won't fucking ruin?

goddamn

>>70066384
No, you wanted to claim that Europe (as a potential upstart) couldn't beat the U.S. in guitar manufacturing. I then pointed out there are many "upstart" countries (China, Indonesia, etc) currently beating the U.S. in guitar manufacturing and that "having a large sustainable amount of great wood" doesn't change that fact. All that went straight over your tiny head, I guess.

>>70066628
yeah, you're wrong, most of the guitars made in those countries are under U.S companies so it means nothing

It's not a "claim". Europe has no chance in beating the U.S, especially if you imports under American brands. Offshore brands are made where they're made because of labor costs. There's no reason, unless you're resting your laurels on European craftsmanship, to make your guitars there

You've got a tiny head, brain, dick, whatever it is you use to shitpost some nonsense

>there are many "upstart" countries (China, Indonesia, etc) currently beating the U.S. in guitar manufacturing
How is Indonesia "beating the US" at anything if we are talking about american capitals who set up production there? All that money goes back to the US and only a small fraction remains in the country where production actually happens.

>no more rosewood oh no so sad
No more Dalbergia you cocks, that doesn't encompass all rosewood.
Tiete Rosewood and Borneo Rosewood aren't on the list because they're not part of the Dalbergia genus.
Rosewood is a category of wood, not a fucking genus.

>b-but the global marketplace forced American companies to manufacture their guitars in China/Indonesia

...aaaand you just invalidated your whole premise. That's fucking hilarious.

Someone red pill me on fretboard wood please?

>>70066948
old men discussing why X looks better than Y and why hypothetically X sounds better because it's not the same colour

no one concretely cares but people who play fretless and actually come in contact with the fretboard

Chappers will find a way.

>>70066948
rosewood is shit and maple is best

>>70066948
It's only about looks

>>70066908
there is no direct correlation between industrial output and profits/rate of accumulation of capital, that's why the soviet union became bankrupt

by engagin more koreans ?

>>70066948
maple = bright and crisp
rosewood = darker and a little more mellow

New guitar!

Bought used for ~280$(Dollar's not my currency), came with the Joe Petrucci set. I'm upgrading form a GIO.

Sounds great!!

The last 35 years in China would beg to differ.

>>70066873
it's 300+ fucking species you mong, nobody cares about two edge cases that aren't even used
>>70066908
in no way are they "beating" the U.S in making guitars if they're not even getting the fucking money for it lol, also the only country PHYSICALLY MANUFACTURING more guitars than the U.S is probably China, and most of those are for U.S companies

to put it in perspective, PRS is squarely in third in number of guitars made in the U.S a month. The amount they make a month, Fender does in two days. And Gibson makes more than Fender sometimes. That's the top 3. That isn't counting all of the other brands, and then the smaller luthiers.

>>70066948
it doesn't matter tone wise, it might not even matter on acoustics, all that matters is look and feel(which you won't even feel it if you use tall frets)
>>70067015
yes
>>70066987
you can feel it under 6130 fretwire, especially if you have a round fretboard radius
