>>70790185
I you've got 20+ years to accumulate a mass of strats, you can do it m8.

>>70790190
Those are ugly and sound bad and the short scale gives them little string tension which also sounds bad and makes it impossible to drop tune should you want to. literally post jazzmaster or get out.

Why is it always the poor fags that like to brag about buying mid tier instruments.

2015 it was the squier jazzmaster crowd
2016 it was the cv tele crowd
Now it's the mustang crowd

I understand bragging about owning an objectively great guitar but, I hate to break it to you, they're budget instruments for a reason.

>>70790609
Fucking this. White people have started forcing the black people out of downtown detroit. They renamed the cass corridor to midtown, used to be the shittiest place in the state but now its fruit markets and sports bars. Where do you think they all went? Next door to me. Fuck that shit.

>your worth as a musician depends on how expensive your piece of wood is

Where did I say that? Do you have trouble reading?

The person I replied to implied that the mexi mustangs are the best fenders ever made.

I then posed a question as to why people think budget instruments are anything more than budget instruments.

Since you took the time to reply to me perhaps you could answer that question.

>>70790888
I programmed a drum track for like rats by godflesh, i was going to record it tomorrow and post it here so the 8 people who still come here can make fun of me so i stop liking metal again.

I practiced piano earlier, organized my 4 boxes of cables into 6 slighlty more organized cables(do the xlr to trs cables go woth xlr or trs? Or do the 2 i got deserve their own box?)

I also set aside the parts i need to build an autowah, which i would have started but i also decided to practice my drinking.

Now im seeing if my buddies are going out later and seeing if one of them can pick me up cause i dont drive drunk(im not, but the law will see.it differently).

Sorry to whoever is triggered by PRS, if it's any consolation I like them just because they're comfy and sound good, plus both electrics I got through trades for considerably worse guitars/amps.

>>70791053
Man, ive gotten so much more versatile since i stopped listening to metal and punk as much. Not to say my timing was bad or that i didnt appreciate other music then, but everything i play now just how so much more feeling. I miss playing things that feel like a building collapsed on you.

i have $225 to spend on pedals, what should i get

already have tuner, wah, and looper. my amp has digital compression/reverb/delay so i dont think i need any of those right now. thinking most about a boost/overdrive to push some lead tones with.

recs? i play mostly 60s/70s rock/country.

things on the list:
>tmg selma
>wampler paisley drive
>ibenis ts808
>fulltone ocd
>tce spark
>xotic boost

this is your wheelhouse /gg/, lend a hand. or tell me im totally off base if you can give me better recs or explain why i need some other type of pedal entirely

I've been working on this supremely cheesy instrumental. Classical guitar, electric guitar, bass, and E. piano. I'm trying to experiment with progressions that change scale often but don't feel too awkward. I'm also trying to get a hang of plucking on the bass instead of picking. It's a bit more difficult than I thought it would be, dynamics are fluctuating more than I'd like

>>70794753
Any minor 9 chords or maybe major 6? The variations up high sound different and more dreamy. Diminished chords are also cool the way you can just run through them up the neck without changing postions. But chords are for plebs

>>70794753
It's more about how you connect the chords. But a quick shortcut is to use a lot of major and minor 7s and 9s. Also chord progressions that leave strings open tend to have a dreamy sound

For example:
0 2 4 1 0 0 (Eadd9)
0 3 5 2 0 0 (Cmaj7add6/E)
x 4 6 8 0 0 (C#m9)
x 3 5 7 0 0 (Cmaj9)

I can't tell you much about the V5
But I bought the V55 last year
And I'm still surprised at how great this lil monster is.
And it was so cheap.

I believe they should have some similarities so here is my review:
Great clean channel with 6L6.
If you put nice valve, it's basically Fender clean.
A friend as a HRD, and the bugera does not pale in comparison.
Awesome gain channel, my friend's HRD has such a shit gain channel in comparison.

And it takes the pedals perfectly.

I Think the V5 as EL84 like the V22, so if you cannot find good video of the V5, check the V22

what do you play

>>70790272
I like you alrerady

>>70797454

Literally everything, I've been debating putting a humbucker in the bridge (it's currently SSS) so it's better suited towards harder stuff, but I think I like single coil bridge too much. I'm really torn between genres that I can't really decide. But for one thing, I think single coil by itself is a bit too noisy for my liking (most of the time I'm playing in position 2 or 4).

Perhaps I should probably play more, but man I'm so undecisive.

Also I play through a Vox AC30.

>>70797516
a stacked humburger in the bridge is fine

i truly do loathe duncan single coils, but their hot rails are good. I have a hot rail in the bridge of my duo sonic, with a lace silver in the neck

If you want a simple approach to replacing pickups both SD and Dimarzio have prewired solderless pickguards

>>70797516
also

http://www.siglermusiconline.com/collections/prewired-pickguards

these guys are local to me and do GREAT work, the hardware is amazing and is always really well put together

>>70797516
if you like the single coil Strat sound but want noiseless, look at DiMarzio Area 67, 61 and 58. Normally I hate DiMarzios but these sound utterly sublime.

There's just no excuse for it. That music died off in the 1970s but idiots keep on breathing life into the corpse because it's easy to play and it brings in the bucks from bar gigs. But it kills creativity and it's given rise to generations of unimaginative musicians who are happy to sit round pretending to be Eric fucking Clapton and never writing a single piece of music of their own. Three chords, pentatonic fucking drudgery Les-Paul-into-a-Marshall dadrock fucking WANKERS.

Guitar Fetish is CRAP
Guitar Fetish is TRASH

I bought this one tremolo http://guitarfetish.com/Vintage-Tremolo-fits-Mexican-Korean-Chinese-made-guitars_p_844.html

They say its steel but look what it is? It is iron with a chrome layer over it!
After one month the shit was all iron-coloured dents showing what it is really made of!
CRAP!

Also look at the bridge plate! It is rust just like the saddles. You can see the height-ajustment screws path showing the actual orange metal

I'd rather have bought a SQUIER bridge cause they at least are actual steel

>>70798689
But thats not even the Gary More cover you're quoting

Thats actually an original "song"

>>70798799

>>70798799
What type of music do you compose?

>>70798911
WOW why did you buy this shit?
Even the block is weakass thin zink
I'd rather buy one from an actual MIM Strat, it's far from perfect but at least it lasts.

I hear the Wilkinson WV6SB is good and has a bigger block in (powdered) steel.
And saddles are supposed to be stainless steel.

buy a Wilkinson, best Strat bridge I've ever used. And I've used a lot of Strat bridges. No grub screws sticking in your hand, solid as a Sherman tank, heavy steel block, beautifully rounded over. You barely even notice it's there under your hand. And they're not expensive.

All Wilkinson stuff is good, I've got their compensated bridge on my Tele too, can't fault it.

>>70799063
Don't know about price where you live, but I could get it for about 30€

My only complaint (because I'm mental about anything) is that my steel block is probably powdered steel (not even magnetic) and I'd prefer a brass one just because.

>>70798963
What is this strange Roland thing? A pickup? A sustainer?

>>70799251
Midi pickup

>watch guitar cover on youtube to learn a song
>is has all types of fancy video editing
every time

>>70799251
The guitar is a Fender "Powered by Roland" GC-1 Strat with a Roland GK pickup factory fitted. Lets you send each string to a guitar synth for individual processing. So you can do things like transpose each string up or down two octaves, brilliant for instantly changing tunings.

>>70799274
>every time
I haven't seen a single cover with fancy editing ever
at most maybe an intro with a fadeout from the album cover

>>70799265
Guitar to MIDI is a complete waste of time. Even with the best gear, it never triggers fast enough and you always have to go in and edit out the false triggers and ghost notes. I just use the GK pickup to drive a Boss GP-10 for the COSM string transpose, acoustic simulation and12-string effects. Instant baritone guitar, 12 string, simulates humbuckers, single coils, telecasters, anything you want.

>>70799312
I mean stuff like cutting every three seconds or putting on an over the top filter during chorus or solo

>>70799420
Thats still midi

>>70795366
a jcm800 is perfect for what you're going for. there's literally no reason to get 100w over a 50w. 50w will still be way too loud for regular home use. if you can afford all this and are just really set on a big marshall head you'll probably want an attenuator.

>>70799455
No it isn't. The GP-10 can do pitch to MIDI but I use it for COSM amp modelling which is not MIDI.

>>70799485
Midi isnt just bleeps and bloops. It can used for anything from the timing of lights to switching effects in a rig.

>>70799532
Yet his pedal isnt MIDI it just modulates the sound

>>70799051
What is it? You couldnt play blues when it was trendy when you were young?

>>70799532
Well ok, the patch change can be controlled over MIDI and you can affect patch parameters with MIDI. But the sound generation is from a DSP chip, same as a delay pedal and you wouldn't call that a MIDI sound source.

>>70799562
By transfering data from a reciever through a midi cable to a midi converter.

Musical Instrument Digital Interface

>>70799589
It doesn't use any MIDI to do the amp modelling.

And you should know you're talking to someone who has designed and build MIDI equipment.

How do these work? They convert the note pitch from the sound picked by the regular magnetic pickup?
Or the notes are picked up electronically with special strings or something?

>>70800175
There's a hex pickup near the bridge that detects the pitch of each string, see
>>70798963

That plugs into a 13-pin cable that goes to a MIDI convertor, the conertor measures the pitch of each string and outputs digital information to trigger synths

genius!

well your guitar's in tune, it's not hideously distorted to fuck and you're playing a pretty competent rhythm pattern with no bad mistakes, keeping time properly, what's the problem? sounds absolutely fine to me, you've got left hand chord damping sorted, not bad for one year of playing

Actually not bad, i kind of like the crackling even though it's kinda harsh.

I think i was trying to figure out how the looper worked, imagine 12 seconds of that on repeat for me to solo over....with a drum machine because it has one of those

Try clicking the play button. Also, check your NoScript settings.

I did remaster it and eliminate those a while back (idk why I did that instead of just re-recording it desu) and I just figured out I must have recorded it in 2002, judging by the October 2002 date stamp on when I uploaded it to GeoCities. kek. I'd link you the original from a GeoCities archive, but I'd dox myself if I did.

Here's a remastered copy I mixed into fake stereo from the original mono recording:

Yeah same. It's easier to write it out and play it on the instrument you mainly use.

It'd make sense if you played some other instrument, but guitar is already so similar to keyboard there is no point.

Me again. Day 5 of waiting on this in the mail.

I pay $100 australian dollar. That is very good because this usually sell for $1500 australian dollar.

I like to use 2 wahs at once and say ha, there you go Kirk Hammett beat that.

So yeah waiting on this to arrive at my house and I am very excited for it to come so I can play it.
