/gg/ - Guitar and Bass General

jimi hendrix didn't know theory why do I need too?

First for being a poorfag

just got started at playing bass, is it realistic to think i can learn the basic on internet? (new thrad poped when i made this reply so im reasking)

Still haven't had time to set up the Jackson to my preferred tuning, but as is in E Standard it is amazing to play.

>>70248792

>>70248753
Yes, in fact if you can't learn basic bass on the I Internet then you can't learn bass

>>70248753
If people learn to shred on the internet i think you can learn basic bass on the internet too

He knew enough from constantly playing with others and playing in several bands. Playing guitar was his life. I'm sure you are nowhere close to that level of intimacy with music.

>>70248876
Shes been my #1 for 4 years, though that could change as this new Jackson is vying for my attention.

>tfw no qt j45

I asked this last thread, and only got a reply criticizing my grammar. I'll ask again differently i suppose.

I have a guitar with a bolt on neck, the flat squared off part extends up to about the 15th fret. It's more awkward to play there than I'd thought, stumbles, etc.. I searched about modifying the neck, found stuff on "shaving" it. I'm planning on completely rounding it to match the profile of the rest of the neck with a rasp/file, sanding it smooth. I'm just wondering if anyone here has done anything like this. ?

Just make sure you don't go past the line where the neck meets the body, otherwise you'll throw off the angle and completely fuck up your guitar

You can shave off above this line and be fine, I would just get rid of those edges

than on that fender in your pic. It's an ML i got for like $200 and my 3 year old dropped it and the neck almost broke off (like 2 of the neck screws snapped, one bent). I fixed it but I'm not concerned about resale ever anymore. It's just retarded because MLs are designed for access and this is just backward of access

>guitar can't compete with the range of a piano

Hey /gg/, what are some good songs to learn for building up technical skills? Along with some techniques to practice beyond just knowing different chords. I know how to play most chords and can fingerstyle decently, but am stalling progress due to lack of direction. Anyone else have this problem?

So I have a 6505mh. With the gain pretty low at 3 my guitar feeds back instantly when not muting the strings. What do?

I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I'm looking for an electric guitar and don't really know what to buy. There's this around 300 dollar Epiphone Les Paul which sounds nice. Fender has some SQ Affinity guitars with amps for the same price or less but they sound kinda cheap but I haven't heard them in person. Any other ones or ideas? My budget is around 300 or so.

I haven't got enough money to buy several Boss pedals and I was wondering whether it was worth spending about twenty quid per pedal. Obviously I'm not looking to keep them for decades, it's only a temporary thing.

I have a Caline hot mushroom which is a Dynacomp clone which is pretty good for 30 bucks.

It sounds like you play some psychedelic post-sludgy stuff, nice

>>70253142
So it's just to mute the guitar when not playing?

How long did it take you to learn all the open chords in the beginner course at Justin Guitar?

And make smooth changes of course

>>70253743

It's going to take a few weeks to months honestly no matter where you learn, the best thing is to keep trying and not have a pretentious teacher who can't really play and discourages you. I learned miles in the first week when I changed teachers.

>>70253718
The main function is reducing overall noise, but yes, they also act as a noise gate by cutting out pretty much all noise anytime you stop playing. Definitely necessary for chuggy metal stuff with lots of rests in the riffs

Hello /gg/, short little question:
Do you prefer the first or the second mic position in this thing I recorded (esp. in this context)?

https://clyp.it/vgbwnfoh


>>70253743
I didn't even know any chord names for the first 2 years I was playing so yeah, a long time

>>70253854
How did you start playing? Didn't you go right into learning open chords?

>>70251033
BUT DOES IT DJENT?

>>70253876
first is learn all the notes on the fretboard.
usually people learn first position but it's better to do them all.
it's easy because all you have to know is first position, 5th, 7th, 10th, 12th frets and you'll have it down

>>70253854
They both sound good to me, just different.

First one sounds very resonant and sounds raw and rootsy.

Second one is less resonant and sounds clean and jazzy. So I guess it's up to you whatever kind of feel you're going for.

That's just my take.

>>70253854

Maybe start at the first one and go just slightly to the second position. The first one has the best tone, but it's just a pinch too sharp, now you could use the second position and equalize the track to get things a little more crisp, but it's whatever.

>>70253876
I had a teacher who didn't care about theory so much, most of the time he showed me how to play something and I played it with him, we played some chords but never gave them a name

he sounds like a bad teacher but I'm sure I would have lost interest in guitar fast with a demanding one
I had to catch up on a lot of theory when I really got into guitar but I still play mostly by what feels right and not theory

>>70253896
I'm just following Justin Guitar, it doesn't mention notes at all in the beginning.

Maybe i should add in learning notes, how do i go about doing that?

>>70253932
Sounds like a good teacher if you ask me

The most important job for a teacher is probably to keep the student interested in the subject, and i think playing with some chords and make some simple tunes is probably a good way of doing it. Instead of going right into theory.

>>70253932

That's the best teacher imo. The first teacher I had was a band teacher at my highschool, and he was the sort of teacher that completely discouraged tabs, told us it was most important to learn theory, and the result was a bunch of kids who after 3 months couldn't play shit. He honestly couldn't play much himself but bless his heart for dying. I wen't to a place in chicago after that called Old Town School of Folk Music where I've gone for the past 7 years and they start you off just like that, they tell you the chord names, but that's about it, they make sure you like how you feel so you can drift into being better, then later classes like the jazz one I've been in for a few years now, make you learn and apply the theory. What I'm saying is for a guitarist/bassist the most important thing is feeling good when you play, who cares if you can speak the language if you can sing damn fine.

>>70254009
>but bless his heart for dying

my god anon

>>70254031

I might not have worded that right, I mean I respected the guy as a father and kind man, regardless of my opinions on his playing I feel bad he had to die.

>>70253915
that's what I was thinking
I usually prefer the second one but the first one sounds "older" and fits the context better imo (as micing between right hand and bridge was used more in the older days I believe)

>>70253921
thanks for your input, as soon as I use a second mic I'll probably use both positions and mix them

>>70253997
>>70254009
He was a good teacher but I think he should have gone deeper into theory and technique at some point (after a year or so)
I've been playing for about 8 years and most people can play like me after 4 years or so

but then again I'm still only 20 and treat guitar strictly as a hobby and not something to make money or woe woman with so I don't really mind

Does this rubber actually keep flying Vs from slipping when you're sitting down? I don't play standing up so I would need a solution. Those new Epiphone58 reissue Flying Vs are looking real nice for the price.

>>70254105
I think that's the right attitude for guitar

It should be not be a means to some end like money or women. It should be for the joy of playing music. No reason to stress over it.

>>70254105

Don't worry about it, I've been playing 7 years and I should be more fluent and able to play more complex and fast melodies now but I let my own laziness prevent me from practicing as much as I should.

>>70253634
nah

i listen to a lot of old country dudes and johnny marr and 80s stuff

>>70254174

I can see that, ever check out Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter or any Neko Case?

>>70254141

Why get a Flying V if you're gonna be playing sitting down? Regardless, you could always play in classical position.

>>70254141
Yes, my tutor has an old Epiphone58 and I've played it and it sounds amazing. I don't know about the reissue but the little pad does its job well.

If you want a mic for live vocals, get an sm58. The grill on the 57 isn't enough to block plosions. You can use it on vocals for recording, but you need a pop filter

PA system. Small bars and venues almost always have their own you can use. Also a little guitar combo with a 1/4"-to-XLR adapter can work in a pinch for practice situations if you're too cheap to buy a PA. But they really don't sound good for vocals

I bought one of these and will have it in my house tomorrow.

How badly did I do?

>>70256982
Yes but i'm talking about business side of things, his new bass with fender, is not the one running it.

>>70256965

nigga he played for multitudes of bands before forming the experience, he even tuned down half a step to match his voice of fucking course he knew theory

there's a difference between "well what's a C chord lol" as people paint him and "well what phrygian mixosuckadickadian mode is this arpeggio in"

>>70256992
why on earth would you pick such a disgusting color?

>>70256992
yuck. why did you pick lime green with black hardware?

>>70257008
Well I guess it's because he doesn't work for Fender.

How has the sound of a guitar not gotten really annoying to you? I mean it just goes like *twangggggg*

>>70256992
dear god
if you came over to jam with THAT I would tell you to leave
what the fuck were you thinking dude

>>70256992
I love it.

>>70256992

It should sound great. I agree with the other anons on looks though. I actually like the green but the black hardware is not a good contrast for it. Probably would look better with chrome.

>>70257026
nigga why and to whom are you arguing about any of this? literally semantics.

Fact is, he wasn't a Joe Pass kind of guy who was well-versed in music theory. He didn't need to be. He still was better than anyone. Hendrix learned from people like Curtis Mayfield on tour and listening to the guitarists he liked; on top of religiously playing the guitar in a multitude of bands. If your approach is like that, you don't need theory. Now take another guitarist who couldn't even read or write, Django Reinhardt.

Don't think you're schooling anyone in this thread.

hello i am new and i am trying to add upstrums on the song by Etta James on justinguitar. Why does it feel like my upstrums are getting caught on the strings and don't feel good like my downstrums. It's killing me

so what's the best way to learn swing guitar? i've had this sudden obsession to learn and play it. should i just stick with the freddie green website? or try my luck again with youtube?

also what about jamplay? i was rummaging around and found one teacher that offers lesson in gypsy jazz. not the same as swing, but apparently jamplay thinks so

>>70257670
What if Les Paul made it with Fender instead of Gibson,would It look something like this or drastically different?

Okay so I've learned the E minor pentatonic scale what are the next scales I should learn?

Major scale?

Any reason justinguitar doesn't seem to have scales in his lessons or is this stuff I should hold off on learning?

>tfw started playing the guitar when I was 10 years old
>tfw 10 years later I still use the same Tagima Memphis MG32
Being a poorfag sucks. At least it doesn't sound too horrible for a 50-dollar Tagima

>>70259455
>pentatonic
DO NOT DO THIS

>>70258711
Learn Charlie Christian and Django solos. Swing rhythm guitar is very basic (especially the Freddie Green style) you should pick it up naturally.

the major scale is taught in the first lesson of the intermediate course. i'd recommend you finish the beginner and intermediate courses as he's laid them out and then read advancing guitarist

>>70259561
you'll get stuck in pentatonic limbo forever

Okay that makes sense I guess

I'm pretty much a complete beginner only on stage 3 of the justin guitar lessons and i just googled "beginner guitar scales" and that one was the first one that popped up I didn't know what a pentatonic scale is or that it isn't a "full" scale or whatever

I just re-discovered my dad's old bass that looks like a Gibson SG. Seems to be in good condition, so how should I go about learning to play it?

>>70260023
You clearly want to

>>70260041
>>70260021
Is that a Studio? I have always thought they looked better than the regular shiny glossy tops on the standards.

>>70260021
>>70260041
is that an epiphone sg?

>>70260110
yes anon

>>70260107
yeah it is.

>>70260023
Actually I'm getting weird static when playing, and from turning the volume knob. It's like a crackling you'd get if the cable isn't all the way in, but it's in firm. Do I need a specific cable for a bass guitar? Or is there something wrong with the electronics? Anyone got suggestions?

>>70260207
Keep turning the knob back and forth, but if it's really old the electronics might be fuckd up

there are no notes only frequency

>>70260242
you're a frequency

>>70260242
Your mom enjoys my frequency

>>70260242
>relying on science to make music.

fuck off

is their shittier string than the low E

>>70260242
There are no colors, only frequencies.

>>70260230
The static will go away after awhile, but it comes back if I turn the knob again. I think the electronics are fucked. Know what I could do to get it fixed?

Fender Bassbreaker 15 for home practice. Would it be too loud?

going through advancing guitarist feels like going through a highly recursive choose your own adventure book linearly. it seems like i could go through this thing 20 times and still not get all there is to be had out of it

i'm just going to practice some triads for now. my brain is fried

>>70260490
I'd say not, had it for about a year and sold it under a week ago.

kinda way opposite ends of the spectrum there.

If you were to say fingerstyle vs flatpicking, ok sure.

But fingerstyle vs floyd rose metal divebombs?

>jimi hendrix didn't know theory why do I need too?
Hendrix also spent all day practicing guitar, so if you do that youre fine

Also, I dont know where these myths come from, but who says he didnt know theory? Listen to his live concerts, he talks about key signatures and shit like that. Its also believed that he had perfect pitch.
I guarantee you he knew basic theory; you dont spend that much time with music without learning some basic stuff. The basics are all you really need for most contemporary rock/pop genres.

at the end of the day music theory ends up being a shortcut. Do ear training stuff though thats more important.

Also for every guitarist who didnt know theory, theres a shitload of better ones who did...drop that shitty argument

>>70260581
Using metal style divebombs with Fingerstyle guitar is the coolest shit ever.

False. Hendrix knew theory.

>>70259803
Don't listen to that guy, he's only frustrated by his own shortcomings and lack of discipline. Learn the pentatonic scale, then keep learning

>>70260862
>also believed that he had perfect pitch

source?

>>70259649
Only if you can't play with your fingers at all. There are times when picked bass is more fitting

>>70261993
what times?

>>70260347
You could replace the pots. If you don't know what you're doing though you could get a professional to look at it.

>>70259803
The pentatonic scale is the most important scale. There's a video online of this guy who gets an audience to sing the pentatonic scale by jumping. It's basically the most melodic scale, for a gross over simplification.

>>70262466
Distorted bass in metal

>>70262818

Don't know your skill level, but you should be doing major scale runs with alternate picking to a metronome. Should also be naming each note you hit. Should teach you to go faster, learn the scale, and consequently speed up your playing.

Otherwise I've found just playing songs at speed has taught me to speed up my playing.

Best wah pedal?

>>70263930

Heard nothing but great things about the Dimebag wah, or the Cry Baby.

>>70263951
I was thinking cry baby classic for kind of a mellow midrange boost. are the tone-suck memes true?

Do most people buy guitars/basses for their looks?
I feel like most people can't even differentiate between the sound quality and just buy what they think looks best

>>70261967
Perfect pitch isn't that rare and can be learned

>>70264202
I'm sure noobs do. I remember my first electric guitar was an LP just because all my friends had strats at the time and I thought jimmy page was cool.

Once you develop even a little bit of an ear you can easily distinguish between the different tones of an LP, strat, tele, mustang, jazzmaster, emg metalguitar, etc

>>70250121
Nope

>>70264202
>>70264242
My first electric was some shitty start copy that looked "like an electric guitar" as far as I was concerned and I played everything as loud as possible with all the gain through my little shitty SS amp and thought it was the best thing ever.

Sound quality never crossed my mind.

These days after learning a thing or two, it's all about sound - my main guitar is reliced - something I swore I would never buy, but quite simply sounded and felt better that all the others I played.

>>70264202

I honestly believe aesthetics of a guitar are important. Like, you want something you're excited about right? I know it sounds shallow or whatever.

>>70253854
Blend them

>>70260333
G and high e are worse

>>70262466
Most styles of rock, especially punk and metal, and any time you want a more consistent, cut-through-the-mix tone (recording engineers will often specify that they want you to play with a pick for the more even tone)

>>70260333
D is the real cunt

>>70264886
D did nothing wrong

Is it possible to add another speaker to an amp? I have a vox pathfinder 10 which has 1 6 inch speaker in it and I'd like to ad another? Is it as simple as wiring it in parallel or series to the existing speaker? Will any other components in the amp need to be changed? Cheers.

As an absolute beginner, what should I aim for when it comes to daily progress in playing some guitar?

>>70265265
Doing more chord changes in a fixated slot of time.

Like day one you do 15 and day 2 you do 17.

>>70265265

Honestly Justin Guitar is your best resource. Also don't forget to have fun with it, don't wanna bore yourself away from the instrument and get discouraged.

You'll get so much better a lot quicker though, if you focus on practice and theory. But I always see it as it's meant to be fun and enjoyable, so find a balance.

>>70265326
So following the course on Justin Guitar at my own pace until my fingers aren't babby soft then double down on getting good is the way to go?

>>70248738
Learning theory, not learning theory, do whatever you want faggot.

>>70265348

Yeah. Just do it all at your own pace, but keep in mind the importance of actual practice (not just noodling or playing songs inaccurately etc.) and music theory.

I've been playing off and on for a few years now, and I've seen guitarists who've been playing for one year who are better than me, all because they had better foundations and stuck to their practice. Doesn't bother me because I still enjoy it all the same, but yeah, it is what it is.

Real talk if I can get a custom Tele from that Halo guitar designer for £900, should I go for it? Are they good instruments? Compared to similarly priced fenders?

Also are stainless steel frets worth it
