thoughts on improv?

http://vocaroo.com/i/s0U3W9xvNQok

>>70450405
Jerry Seinfeld is overrated but Jeremy Hotz is the funniest Jew, his improv is sharp and relatable

>>70450258
not quite, really i just go off of the intervals. the only note i can really find quickly is C because i know it's exactly where E used to be. lol. like, i don't look up what notes are in the C minor scale and then play those. i know it's the same shape as any other minor chord i've played, all you need to know is where the root is and everything follows

>>70450347
who is this guitar genie?

just realized the pickups on my humbuckers on the guitar i got from the pawn a long ass time ago have a bunch of screws missing. think that's fucking up the tone?

>>70450569

Dont buy this garbage
Can I run a head through this and use the speakers still or should I just sell it

not entirely sure what you mean but I think you're correct

here are different voicings of Dmaj7 for example. same notes just in different positions, and note the mutes which makes barring harder if not impossible for some chords.

I have the same amp.

It sounds like a muddy shit mess. Especially if you run pedals through it.

>>70450718
you're not applying reverb and stuff and then distorting right? bc that'll muddy up your sound. does it have an effects loop?

>>70450752
No I run distortion before any delay or reverb.

It's just a shitty amp.

>>70450687
IS voicing the musical term for "variation" or "version?" I have a chord book and usually a chord will have (Ver. 3) under it and it's the same sounding chord played somewhere else, is that the same as a voicing?

>>70450405
pretty good depending on how long you've been playing, try to play with a metronome to work on your timing and practice bending more accurately and with vibrato

>>70450875
in guitar harmonic theory, a voicing is the chord arranged in a different way
I think it doesn't even have to be an inversion but I don't know

>>70450752
Nope. Just a shitty sounding amp I think.
I actually just noticed it has an effects loop after years of playing this amp. How could the effects loop help my tone?

>>70450875
variation is the generic term everyone uses. but yeah it's the same concept as voicing.

How do I get better at notation?

Just learning scales?

>I actually just noticed it has an effects loop after years

>>70450939
What do you mean notation?

>>70450951
yeah I didnt know what an effects loop even was until recently. I still dont know how its different from just chaining it into the input of my amp.

>>70450957
I practice by looping chords with a pedal and then improvising around them as a lead part. But I have no idea what I'm doing. The notes don't go together most of the time.

Was buying an envelope filter a good idea?

>>70450999
Then yeah, scales will help a lot.

Hey /gg/, does anyone here had experience with ET guitar custom necks? What price did you pay, and what was the quality of the neck?

>>70450569
You mean the polepiece screws, uh yeah dude those are important

>>70450999
Well no shit it'll sound bad if you just play random notes.
You should learn scales as soon as possible, with guitar you can learn the positions and don't bother much with theory, but eventually you should get to that in order to know which scales you can use in less conventional chord progressions.
Major/minor and pentatonic are the fundamental and imprescindible, and the harmonic minor is also used heavily in metal as far as i'm aware.

>>70450976
when you amplify something that's been modulated, it muddies the sound. think of it, which is more natural, a guitar that is amplified and then reverb'd, or a guitar that is reverb'd and then amplified

>>70450999
you should learn what the scale you're playing is on a single string and improv on a single string at first. slides are a good way to cheekily test what note is the good one without it seeming like you're fumbling around

in general, do lap slide guitars have hotter or more vintage style pickups?

Posting here again for responses:

Okay so I plan on getting new strings for both my basses (MIM Fender P Bass & MIM Fender Deluxe P Bass Special - an active bass).

I know for the passive P I want to put a set of LaBella Deep Talking flats on them to get that motown/soul sound, but am unsure of what gauge size to get.

For the Deluxe P I want something that will be brighter for slap and pop, funk music, but still allow me to stay in the pocket and be grooving, yet be versatile enough to jump into any genre.

I've never bought bass strings before; having only play on the production strings from factory (which what are they? I don't know the gauge, but they seem to be roundwounds) so any and all advice is appreciated.

>>70451848
Strings are cheap

>>70450627
Buy a Bassman

>>70451896
while I appreciate that, I'm of the mindset that bass strings (at least flatwounds) should never be replaced, i.e. buy once buy for life. That's where my string gauge question comes in.

As for the Active P, I'm more open to that mindset, but I'd rather get testimonials and buy something that are universally accepted and work with those for a while.

>>70451942
alright roman we know its you

>>70451942
>bass strings (at least flatwounds) should never be replaced,
u wot m8?

>>70451972
not him but bassists rarely change strings

in fact most think duller the better

>>70451972
basically, flatwounds sound like shit and are for shitty sounding music, so don't change them

>>70451972
bassists are poor as fuck and bass strings are expensive

>>70451957
I'm not roman

>>70451972
it's a common mindset among bass players

>>70451987
when it comes to a dull sound, you have to take it into context - with flatwounds on my P, I plan on making that bass my "stay in the background, keep a strong, rhythmic groove going" hence why I want flats, and want to buy great ones that'll last for life.

As for my Active P, I want something bright and snappy.

>>70451987
>the duller the better

uh...no? nobody ever thinks that. not even for ronudwounds

>>70451848
Rotosound swing bass 66 strings or you're a faggot.

>>70452637
But really, they're perfect for a bright tone that stands out. John Entwistle and Chris Squire swore by them and they needed a lead tone that could cut through a mix for their styles.

>>70450898
I've been playing since about 2004 (was 8 years old) but only started taking guitar more seriously in about late 2013. Improv is something I always struggled with so have been practicing scales and just jamming over chords. Timing was off on this but half the problem is I don't have a 4 track so I had to manually start the recording off my phone which put my out of time

>>70451848
If you really want flats for life, check out Thomastik Infeld flats. Their flats are built like upright bass strings, not like typical electric strings. Anyway for the gauge, keep in mind that real flatwounds are very high tension because they're more dense. A normal 40-100 set should be fine. Also check out nylon tapewound strings for a super thumpy Motown vibe.

I personally like standard daddario nickel wounds for "bright" strings. They're THE standard roundwound string but maybe you want SS strings.

>written hundreds of songs during my life
>can't sing and will never front my own band

just end me

>>70453024

>>70453079
Pete Townsend and Noel Gallagher were their band's song writers

>>70453143
true, I just don't like the idea of someone else singing my lyrics

all I want is to lead a comfy trio band

Honest question:

Why play guitar as anything other than a hobby if you don't have the look for it?

Like why be good at playing if you don't look cool as shit playing. Which is pretty much impossible if you're fat and bald or something.

Anyone can play guitar so you really only have yourself to offer if you want to play to impress.

What is the standard equipment to play stoner rock?

What amp is good? are the orange amps meant to be combined with a lot of effects? some of them sound very dirty by themselves

can you play contemporary stoner rock with old classic fuzz face pedals? is it better to use a big muff or another kind?

what kind of wah should i use? a classic wah? is it connected before or after the fuzz?

is the chorus pedal used in rock or only in jazz?

Does the kind of guitar i play (in terms of shape and material) affect the sound too much? like, if i play stoner metal with say... a mahogany lespaul will it change a lot the sound if i play with a maple stratocaster? (implying same amps pedals pickups, etc...)

>>70454216
Oh also, what are the best pickups to use for stoner rock? humbuckers?

in which situation are active pickups or single coil useful? Is there a huge difference in single stacked or side by side humbuckers?

Why aren't strats good for playing heavy music?

>>70454593
Generally you want a humbucker for heavy music to get the stereotypical "fat tones". You can play it just fine with a strat that has a bridge humbucker

aggressive picking, not bending is what breaks strings.

slamming chords tryign to make your amp break up more is how most people break their strings, or dumbasses thinking that their acoustic guitar sounds good when they strum it really hard (protip: it doesnt)

>>70450939
Just sit down and fucking read it. Start with songs you already know in your head but can't actually play yet.

For example, last October I taught myself the first part of Pat Martino's solo on "Just Friends". I didn't know how to play it, but I could sing it and hear it in my head, so I found a transcription of it online and worked off of that. I had the part down in two days. The most important thing is to be able to look at the staff and recognize a note just by quickly looking at it, then being able to figure out rhythms (which will come with constant, consistent use of standard notation, you'll recognize patterns and hear them in your head as you see them). Buy a copy of "The Real Book: C Edition" and go to town. I recommend starting with simple tunes in C major, then moving into keys with more accidentals and simple rhythms (a lot of early Miles Davis stuff makes for good reading exercises).

>>70455415
I recently bought a 10 pack of Elixirs for $40 off Reverb and now I'm set for life. I used to have the GC string club card and pay $8 a pack but I don't go as often anymore, although it is a good way to rack up in strings.

>>70450718
How is the Viking?

>>70455062
I never break strings unless I accidentally tune my high E string a little sharp or my thick E string unravels from aggressive live playing (which has only happened once). I replace my strings if they start getting really gnarly or if I'm going to record, or if I have a really important gig coming up and want to sound my best. I use Rotosound Yellows (.10-.46s) and wipe down my strings/neck with a microfiber towel after each use.

please answer this, how do i set the basic stoner rock sound in a guitar vst??

>>70454593
Depends on how heavy you want to go. I feel like you'd probably see a lot more "fat Strats" (Starts with humbucking pups) in modern heavy music if brands like Ibanez and Jackson hadn't cornered the heavy rock markets with pointy guitars decades ago.

>>70454229
Humbuckers should suit you just fine for stoner rock: Black Sabbath's guitar sound is backed up by an SG with humbuckers.

Single coil pickups will give you a great "sparkly" clean sound and do a great job of cutting through a mix for leads. Really good single coils get that classic "throaty" sound reminiscent of players like Hendrix. They are pretty noisy though, so if you play with a lot of gain keep in mind that you'll definitely hear some buzzing, or hum.

I'm not really a fan of active pups at all, so I can't vouch for their usefulness outside of modern heavy metal, like djent and "core" shit. To their credit though, they don't really seem to be marketed to anyone else.

>>70453271
Why do anything if you don't look cool doing it? Anyway, please see "Shawn Lane" and burn your instruments.

This site is down, and has been for a few months I think. Sucks, I used it a lot.

>>70455582
I've tuned up to F, and generally you should be able to go to F# or so. Depends on the gauge of string.
I've broken a D'Addario 10 within a week, and just recently a brand new 9.5 as I was intonation. Both occurred while detuning the string. They're sending me a few 9.5s because a break in 5 mins shouldn't happen. I didn't go over E tuning, and the guitar has no burrs or sharp edges.

>>70455630
Ayyy just like my last two hookups, one studying To be an art historian yet didn't know what the Baroque period was and the other studying fashion yet dressing like Mac Demarco 90s-core.

>>70454216
Big Muffs would be preferable, but Electric Wizard uses a Boss FZ-2 for their fuzz tone. Any Big Muff or Superfuzz style pedal would do.

As for amplifiers, Orange amps sound great with the gain cranked, but Boris likes to run them through Big Muffs. Matamp or old Plexis would do the trick as well.

As for wah, the connection is a matter of preference. I connect it after (running from the amp) the fuzz because it blends more cleanly, but connecting it before creates very wide sweeps and some very interesting tones.

It'll be fun for as long as a Deluxe myself to believe I'm content with it, I got addicted to preforming like a maniac at a young age. Like that corny James Hetfield quote "music gave me that voice I never had." It turned me from a robot in high school to a wild man on a stage drunk and delirious off living my childhood dream. We're probably the same age so from one fellow to the other I'd say become a blues-lawyer, buy a bunch of vintage gear (hopefully from my eventual shop pls) and jam out with your law firm buddies drunk off your asses in a nice house in the suburbs with a classy wife.

There was a joke going around in the early 90's Megadeth I read in Mustaine's book, the other guys used to laugh at Marty's weeb ways, that when his mother told her to marry a Jap, she meant a Jewish American Princess, not a chink.

Well not really, he's the biggest Van Halen nerd tho, he has that ugly Peavey Wolfgang thing which has a tremendous tone and plays like butter. I must have spent a dozen hours fiddling around with dive bombs and feedback. I barely use these tricks when playing but it's just too much fun.

Whats a good loop pedal you'd recommend?

>>70450932
FX loop lets you put your modulation pedals after the amp distortion which keeps your tone from becoming a mess.

>>70457584
Metalzone is ok for distortion but sucks as a boost. Amps have better on board distortion anyway.

Boss TC-3, it's more than most people ever need. RC-30 if you got money to burn.

Is it worth it to build your own guitar out of parts, or should I just buy myself a complete one?

>>70459945
Pat Metheny uses an old school roland guitar synth but you could get the same sound from the GR-55, you would just need to get the pedal and adapt your guitar with the roland pickup. Kind of expensive though

question;
so i have an epi SG, and i cant seem to get the action as low as id like. On my dean, i have an extremely low action, with almost no fret buzz. the SG is a tad higher, but yet my 2nd fret is not usable. yet its still higher than the dean. on the dean i have .9-.42's and on the SG i have .10-.46. the SG buzzed more when i had .9's on it.

>>70462511
sg's have whats called a recessed set neck, so the neck is angled away rather than being parallel to the body like a strat or tele would be.

becuse of this, the action is much trickier to get setup right. its a delicate combination of nut height, neck relief, and bridge height.

keep in mind that the SG and Dean guitars are made in 2 different eras for 2 different play styles and music. SG's are more for rock, while Dean is for dimefags and metal players.

try some kind of fuzz distortion with the gain at like 2, use the neck pickup with the tone turned down, but just enough to get a little punch. a little reverb, and play with the mids.

try bass at 4
mids at noon
highs at like 4

I recently picked up a cheap uke. I haven't played string instruments before, so please take a deep breath before reading this. I've only played from "tabs" (4 strings and number indicating position). Why is every song written in chords instead of tabs? Are people just lazy and don't bother with the tabs or is there something i'm missing? Tabs seem better in so many ways and i'm used to them after playing piano for 8 years.

There's no guitar that has a more versatile do-all look than the Stratocaster. Especially if you get it in white or black. It can pass as a country/blues rocker all the way to a metal guitar if you change the pups. Who /strat/ here?

can someone explain drop tuning? What styles of music use them, how and when to use them, etc.

Everybody always says something like this on here when you mention looks when talking about choosing a guitar. Every serious player, whom by definition takes playing seriously, will care about how their guitar looks. Stop acting like it's not important, it's not about how you look on stage but how you feel having that particular instrument in your hands. If I'm in my bedroom and I'm trying to play some Black Sabbath on a hollow body gibson or a fender mustang I'm going to FEEL stupid. Does this make sense or does it still go over your head?

Is Hartke HX 112 a bad idea as my only cab?
I travel often, and since i don't have a car lugging normal cabs is a problem. Impendance switching is a nice touch since my amp head is 4ohm.

Has anyone tried it?

>>70460854
Depends
Actually building it? If you are asking, then definitely not.
But assembling a Stratocaster (for instance) can be fun. (But then again, it can be a nightmare for some people, a waste of time, and a waste of money)

It may be cheaper if you know what you are doing.

But then again, you can probably find a cheap and good used guitar.

>>70464935
That's 50% of it, but most people would disagree with your argument I think.

>>70464725
The Ibanez S is pretty close I think. But it's just a thin superstrat so that's not a very surprising thing.

>>70464748
Drop X is basically tuning the standard way, one tone up from X and detuning the first string one tone down. The first interval between the two strings thus goes from a perfect fourth to a perfect fifth
So drop D is DADGBE (compared to EADGBE in standard), drop C is CGCFAD(from DGCFAD) and so on.
There are two uses for that. Either chugging the shit out of your guitar like a faggot, or getting some other wise non feasible chords.

>>70464811
>oh no people like things

What's important is that you like the look of your guitar. The look in itself doesn't objectively matter if we speak about playing in a specific genre. You can play soft indie stuff with a BC Rich as long as it sounds good. (Bad example since nothing can sound good with a BC rich but you get my point)

The real metal sound will never not be guitars with humbuckers run into tube stacks and heavy drumming. There's a million bands out there who still stick to that creed, much moreso than modern rock bands who identify as indie, prog, experimental, etc.

The GRG is exactly the kind of guitar I'd gig with. The budget Ibanez guitars have great build quality for the price point. Swap out the pickups for your favorite Dimarzio or SD set, and then drag that thing all over town. If it gets beat up or beer spilled on it or vomited on or what have you, take out the pickups & toss them into another GRG & keep going

thicker string gauges allow for better tuning stability and more inline with rhythm playing (think 11's & up). Going with 9's and lower, you have more bendable strings suited for lead playing. Of course your experience will vary, but I think this is a generally agreed upon thought.

Mostly LSD, coke, and yes weed. I have an addictive personality and it lead to a lot of bullshit when I was younger.

set neck
headstock design was an actual step straight backwards from Fender, even though they try to say it's an upgrade
quality control is absolute garbage
sound quality is absolute garbage

Want a full featured full priced Gibson with better build quality and sound? Get a fucking clue and buy a Duesenberg.

Why would you buy an $800+ guitar with the pickups of a Tele on the body of a Jazzmaster, only to rip off the Tele parts and put Jazzmaster parts on?

They sell that guitar already. It's called a Jazzmaster. Keep your LIMITED EDITION AMERICAN FENDER intact, sell it, and go get the guitar you actually want

I want one, but only 50 worldwide? Also, probably would be cheaper just to find an original head. But still, a cool project

Maybe, but I made DUMB fucking decisions like this when I was younger. I almost modified (read: destroyed the value of) a '63 pre-CBS Jaguar that was given to me because I wanted to play metal. If there's a chance he's genuinely asking, someone should at least try to talk him out of it

Why does /mu/ hate Gibson so much? I've had really good luck with my les paul, I got some custom pickups my bud wound in them, and it sounds really great.

What time is it in France, Varg?

>>70467246
It's the same reason they constantly shill for MIM fenders, rondo music, and Squier offsets.

When I pick one string on my guitar the other vibrate and make noise on my amp. Am I doing something wrong?

how will I ever recover from this humiliation

Would it be better/cheaper to install a vibrato onto my MiM Telecaster or to just buy a cheapie Squier Jazzmaster? I want a vibrato for more shoegaze sounds.

>>70467547
Its more work than just installing it. Just buy a guitar with a tremolo.

>>70467708
Yes mute your fucking strings.

>>70467708
It's called sympathetic vibration,very sciency stuff that is pretty interesting. Work on your left and right hand muting. The best guitar players are able to mute their high strings with the left hand while muting the lower ones with the right constantly.I don't mean plam muting, I mean lightly making contact with the others strings so they can't vibrate.

>>70467782
Thanks anon. Reading up on it now.

how do i into pinch harmonics

>>70467849
Work on making a slight scooping motion, also figure out the best area to pick at based on where your left hand is at. Sometimes its easier by the bridge and sometimes nearer the neck, all depends on what fret is being played

>>70467386
good build quality, a perfect pick if you want a shredder with neck that isn't Ibanez thin

>>70467913
>figure out the best area to pick
wow im guitar noob and didnt even realize it matters too
i wondered why some frets just didnt work

>>70467986
Yeah, choke up on the pick as well, the whole point is to pick the string then immediately graze it with the edge of your thumb to get the harmonic. The scooping motion helps get the hand away from the string to avoid killing the harmonic, once you get better you will be able to a do multiple in succession.

>>70463014
Thanks for the reply dude, I've been looking for a semi hollow and the Viking looks sexy, how is the resinator fretboard?

>>70460895
Any other pedal that makes that guitar synth sound? This thing is huge. I just want a small pedal that makes that analog guitar synth sound at 40 seconds.

How do I hybrid pick without the string getting caught under my fingernail? Do I really need to cut my nails extremely short and rounded to the point where they start getting ingrown just to avoid this annoyance?

>>70469578
shape your nails like a classical player

>>70469616
well your best is shit, write interesting stuff and come back

>>70469596
Can I do that but also keep the nails relatively short? I don't want disgusting looking classical player nails.

>>70469616
You literally only do scale runs. It is a finger exercise not music

>>70469654
It depends on what you consider short I guess.
Nobody's going to give a shit about you having slightly long nails unless you're a filthy crust punk who can't wash himself.

>>70469660
No, it is exactly what I enjoy playing. I think it sounds fucking awesome! Stop talking shit. Just Stop. Just because you're anonymous doesnt mean the god of our universe cant see what youre doing.

HAHAHA youre such little faggots, trying to ban me for posting videos of me playing the guitar in a guitar thread. This is why you all sit around and jerk off to gear all day. Pathetic little creatures you are.

>>70469802
I want to pick with my finger flesh, not the nail. The nails get in the way. Even if I keep them short, the corner of the nail catches the string sometimes.

Does anybody recommend the Marshall DSL40C? I'm thinking about getting one, and i'll be getting it at less than have of store price. Also, any thing to look for when buying used amps?

>>70469828
Oh yeah then just cut that shit away if it bothers you, I use my nails because it has a more percussive attack but that comes down to preference.
Have you tried changing the angle you attack the string with your finger though ? Sometimes that can be the issue I guess.

>>70469895
Gotta admit I haven't practiced with my fingers much. Guess I'll keep some nail clippers in my guitar case so I can be ready at all times and start practicing hybrid until I get the hang of it.
