/gg/ - Guitar and Bass General

First for Grimes

Modeling amps are shit.

Prove me wrong.

Friendly reminder that you can buy more than one amp.

Reminder that Jimmy Buffett, the second most powerful man in the music industry, uses a Kemper.

>>70392658
no wonder her music is so bad shes using a squier

>>70392525
Good job, you won an argument with yourself since only you have claimed there's not a difference between real amps and tube amps and kept quoting yourself saying it

>>70392596
Hey, what's up /mu/? I've just been practicing a lot lately and wanted to know how people felt about some of these tricks I've been working on.

>>70392674
She tried to hide it tho

>>70392653
Friendly reminder that you can buy a modeling amp and get both those amps plus every other amp ever made

What are good amps for gig and recording

People tellin me 15w not good enough from Tiny Terror

But its only got 3 knobs i love that shit

>>70392653
>>70392728
Friendly reminder that you only need one amp, a Fender.

>>70392692
>there's not a difference between real amps and tube amps
You're right, there's not. Thanks for losing the argument so graciously.

>>70392658
>that Gaia

I'm a hardcore Roland fanboy but desu the gaias do not sound good

>>70392762
>there's not a difference (in feel) between real amps and tube amps

Thank you for proving that you're illiterate, better luck next time

>>70392414
>and it is going to sound beetter than the simulation.

Even if you're only going to use one sound then a modeler is easier to use both live and in the studio and you won't be able to tell a difference in a blind test, especially not in a full mix

It's still going to sound better than the simulation though, what's your point?

>>70392913
No, sorry. It's still going to sound better than the simulation, what's your point?

>>70392700
focus on the rhythm of the solo
People would rather hear your heart in one note, rather than a whole plethora of scaling in a super fast pace... not that there is anything wrong with it. You have great potential, just focus on that

>>70392889

Well there you go, irrefutable proof right there

>>70392635
Modeling amps really are shit though.

Every.

>arguing about what type of amp will make your electric guitar sound better
If you want to sound good buy a proper instrument. Otamatone general when?

>>70392856
Anyone? Is there any difference in the stiffness of the material or is it just about durability?

>>70392923
I have, it's virtually impossible on UB, you'd need to decouple it from the floor entirely because the low frequencies pass through walls so easily.

just buy a sitar you white devil's

Oldfag guy here (48). I've had a lot of carpal tunnel problems and I had to stop playing for three years due to elbow issues. It's a shame to have these problems when you're not yet 50, but I do grind the axe really fucking hard. I always imagine that if Stevie Ray Vaughn hadn't died early, he'd probably have issues due to his super-aggressive playing and heavy strings.

I don't know if this is still the case, but at one point, I know Yngwie had to ice down his hands in the middle of each set because his hands would swell to like 2 or 3 times their normal size!

>>70393878
If I remember correctly, SRV did have to ice his hands before a set and he was in his 20s-early 30s. You're probably right that he was going to have issues down the road due to his playing style.

>>70394033
He should have used less hair product and maybe he wouldn't have hand cancer lol. Buckethead can shred all day with no problems.

>>70394033
>Yngwie
I've seen a few of his videos, his back posture is horrible. He got into that accident in his Ferrari.. I'm genuinely amazed he doesnt have more problems.

Yah I don't know. The thing is, really fast shredder guitar only goes back to the '80s and most of those guys are in their 50s, they're hardly elderly. It's anyone's guess how well they'll hold up and be able to play when they're really old (like over 70).

mates to play weird games with, and a cute wife, and a bunch of kids, and a house =/= good life, necessarily. I mean, better than most, and I'm thankful for what i have.. but it's always hard work. If i didn't have to work so hard, then it'd be good. Sometimes i yearn for the days of being alone and single, wondering why i ever thought it sucked so bad. It's just different, not worse. Grass always greener and all that i suppose. I always tell my wife if anything ever happened to her, I'd never into a relationship again. Even tho she says i "need to" for the kids.

Not the complexity of the notes, the speed. You can only do that for so long before your hands crap out.

Just ask Keith Richards whose songs are nowhere near thrash metal speed and he can barely play anymore.

>>70392596
>How do I learn to play guitar without getting a teacher?

same damn way i did, sit down with every led zeppelin and aerosmith record on earth and don't come up for air until you can play. simple

Even so, age catches up with the best of us eventually. That's why it's amazing this guy can still play with such speed and accuracy. The average 81 year old can not do this.

Modelling software might get more positive reception in the non-professional market if they made a few entry level units better than the current crop of shite available.

To anyone that easily writes music with just a guitar and voice; What is your thought process.

Guitar songwriters in general, how do you go about writing?

I bought these after using ernie ball green and fender stainless steel for ever.
Really floppy, almost no tension, so no downtuning or heavy handed playing. They're really bright with almost no bass, no matter what I try with my amp EQ.
After 6 days of playing I'm seriously considering throwing them into the trash.
Are all D'addario like this?

>>70394869

D'Addario and Rotosound strings are obscenely bright.

If you want darker get DR or BHS.

Also 40s is a whole .005 off of the standard E bass strings so yeah it's normal you won't be able to downtune with those you should've gotten .50s

>>70394916
Well all of the E strings were the same gauge, but both EB and Fender had lots of tension. EB were also nickel plated, so it's not nickel at fault.

>>70394823
I'm at my most productive when I find another artist who inspires me. Sometimes I'll listen to an album, and try to write a song with the same sort of feeling. I went through a major ska phase a couple weeks ago and now I'm writing open string indie shit.

Writing is just improvising until something good falls out of your hands.

I'm shit at lyrics and vocal melodies though, all my vocal melodies sound unnatural and as if they're meant to be played on guitar

>>70394497
So you want them to learn to play shitty music?

how hard is it to give your guitar a setup as a complete newbie (to guitar maintenance)?
i don't have a job (so no money for the usual luthier) and i want to get some stuff recorded with my band, but my guitar (a strat) has high action and the intonation's not accurate

not bad, depends on where the tubes are placed, preferably in the input stage.

pick one first f a m.
since you'll most likely play small venues. 15w is plenty if it's a tube amp.

I find them too bright but that's just me. The DR low rider nickel strings might be for you. Slightly higher tension with a smooth feel and a lot of low mids. Another anon recommended DRs so there's 2 votes in favour of them.

>>70396674
Action and intonation should be a peace of snake.

Lower the saddle things first, and then intonate it.

Ear training along with learning a bit of theory is good practice. You don't need to go overboard learning melodic minor and scales like that just yet. Just learn your pentatonic scales and maj/min scales, learn songs by ear and see how the theory you learn is used in a practical scenario.

>>70397362
It's pretty hard to use not gonna lie, it's super washy, and you're gonna need to fiddle around a bit and experiment of where you're gonna use it. But when you can use it, it sounds fantastic. Super deep, and just kinda beautiful to hear if you're playing at home alone. If you already have a more "standard" reverb and are interested it's pretty great.

>>70396674
If you have a strat like in your pic, it's easy. Dont really need to measure, set the action by turning the allen screws in the saddle. Go as low as you can without it fret buzzing anywhere. The screw on the bottom with the spring around it sets intonation. Play the note open, tune it. Play the 12th fret harmonic, make sure it's the same note. Too sharp, turn the screw clockwise, too flat, counterclockwise. Then play the note fretted at the 12th, but dont press like a gorilla, just as you'd play normally. It should be close or perfect, if it isn't, adjust the saddle again. You can get it to play pretty well without even fucking wth the truss rod. If you wanna do that, look down the neck for relief and adjust it enough by eye but to do it to spec you'll need a tools, and need to do it first, before adjusting any of the other stuff. But if you're a new to it and don't understand tensile strength you can do costly damage. The other shit is easily adjustable and nothing will break if you do it wrong, your guitar will just sound like crap until you get it right.

So, I am thinking about pirating an amp sim and I have mega shitty internet. What is the best amp sim out there right now? Mainly looking for realism and number of amps rather than tweakability.

>inb4 reddit tier anti-piracy

>>70398030

Yeah man. Pretty much the whole Pulp Fiction soundtrack (Surf Rider, Bullwinkle Pt. II, Misirlou, Bustin' Surfboards)

Ventures are great too, Walk Don't Run is my go-to guitar jam. Their version of Besame Mucho got me a few dates in high school.

Chantays have nice jams like Intoxica and Pipeline, you could try the Dick Dale + SRV version of Pipeline even.

>>70398011
i know this feel
betcha im a better guitar player tho ;)

>>70398341
holy shit i forgot about walk don't run, learned that when i was like 12. now that i have a nice amp with spring reverb i'm gonna get high and just jam to surf all night

All these people talking about reverb pedals and I haven't used reverb in an insanely long time. Kinda want one now, but I think I'm going to save up for an octaver pedal. Something like the SubnUp maybe, or a whammy DT if I get the dosh.

attempting to sell my Orange Micro Terror as well since I definitely don't need it now with 3 other tube heads in the house.

>>70397417
That's why practicing on an acoustic is good. I play some ambient stuff too and nothing has improved my sound more than cleaning up my playing on an acoustic. Those perfectly ringing out chords and melodies sound great with meme reverbs.

Question /mu/

so I've been playing guitar a while, played in a couple bands. I've been trying to get back into gigging but no one was looking for a guitarist, but plenty looking for a bassist. I recently picked up a bass for recording. I've played along on bass to a few tracks and can keep up easy enough. Do you think I could jump straight into a band playing bass off the back of playing guitar?

>>70398678
Nah, I preferred Amplitude, over GR 5, but got frustrated by shitty software and latency issues. So I got rid of it all and got a used Pod X3 Live for $100.

>>70399017
Did you have Amplitube 3 or 4. I am trying to find a torrent but can't find any 4 for windows?

>>70399003
As a foot in the door kind of way probably. The problem mainly is that to be a GOOD bassist you'll have to actually put in practice about holding down a groove, filling in the pocket and actually being one with the drums. Easier said than done in the end.

>>70399003
Sure it's not like anybody can hear you anyway.

>>70398910
>taking Kiss seriously
Uh, that was my whole point.
>WOOSH!
Seriously though, the fact that both Roger Daltrey and Gene Simmons would agree that rock is dead should really tell you something. It's sort of like when both Louis Farrakhan and David Duke endorsed Trump for president, it was a foregone conclusion at that point.

Well, if you're talking standard notation, the time signature and note shape tells you how long the note should ring out for. Like if it's 4/4 and the B is a whole note, let it ring out for 4 beats. If the F is played before the bar, the B would still be ringing.
