>>70807101
>GOAT
that's a brazilian, I know it's hard to distinguish but please respect him
>>70807128
hendrix died young
coincidence ? i think not
Thoughts on this legend right here?
reminder it's not what your idols prefer it's what you prefer
and you prefer a fender stratocaster
everything else is just ricer shit, a strat can do everything
Soneone offered me a peavey windsor 100 and fuzzface for my fender precision bass
Im going for big mids and riffs with a qotsa sound. Is this a good option? Probably gonna sell the pedal
>>70807153
i wish he could give me the tipp
>>70807128
Clapton started sucking after switching to fender
>>70807156
I hate strats. I hate their shape, I hate how cheap they feel, I hate their necks, I hate their aesthetics.
I will never own one and will continue to play what I like.
Please stop projecting your insecurities on to the rest of us and just play what you like.

3. Paul Gilbert basically taught me how to pick play lead. I spent years of my life watching his lessons.
4. Buckethead taught me to try and create beautiful and emotional clean melodies.
5. Dave Mustaine taught me to play fast and technical and to try to make more interesting songs. Instead of just chug chug chug.

Can i get a quick rundown on the Fender Dimension bass?
>>70807260

So you have 4 guitarists in your top 5 guitarists.
7/10
Not a fan of Kiko and Dave hasn't played his own guitar tracks in years due
to his lack of coordination from drugs taking their toll on his body.
is there any reason to play guitar other than to play old dadrock blues riffs

>>70807260
Randy Rhoads is all I need to mention.
>>70807750
>>70807697
I like Chapman way more than the Captain.
Captain is annoying as fuck and absolutely won't tolerate anyone having a different opinion than his. His reviews are pretty shitty because of how narrow minded his thinking is.
Rob is at least very open to all kinds of guitars, amps and music.
>>70807637
>tfw you're not even the most well-known musician with your first and last name

>>70807540
Look at OP it has a link
>>70807805
Yeah not for his tapping moron. Everyone knows how simple that is. If I was about an edgelord tapper I'd mention EVH
So basically, unless you know all the notes on the fretboard and where they are you can never really learn theory, right?
Like, you can memorize scales but all you're doing is memorizing shapes and not the meaning behind them?
So what's the best and most effective way to memorize all the notes?
>>70807697
>>70807704
>>70807723
[12TH FRET BENDING INTENSIFIES]
>>70807793
I can't take Rob's opinion without a lot of salt since he has his own company. And both of them are deeply incentivized to sell you whatever chinkplank is being pushed on the market atm.
>>70807861
>Like, you can memorize scales but all you're doing is memorizing shapes and not the meaning behind them?
at last, someone sees the truth.
you can cheat a bit and "learn" the fretboard relatively. Like the seventh fret second string is the fifth from the string it's tuned to, so if it's tuned to A then it's an E, and so on.
You can still learn theory though, the notation's the same as long as you don't switch clef, regardless of the instrument and tuning.
>>70807901
I've been weary of most Youtube guys reviewing gear since the CabClone reviews.
That video where they had the Mese Boogie dude with them to review it was uncomfortable.
>>70807933
What's the deal with CabClone?
>>70807901
I was watching some of their videos where the Captain and some other guy were going to all the company exhibits at the lastest NAMM. Basically all it was was Lee saying "I don't like that finish, so I won't talk about this guitar" and "this doesn't look like something I'd play so I'm not going to show it" and then the other guy would be like "I really like this finish or this thing they've done, it's really innovative and blah blah blah" and Lee just goes "well I don't" and they move on.
I had to stop watching after a while because it started getting so old to hear.
Lee likes what he likes and won't tolerate anyone liking something else, unless it's Rob because he knows the only reason people watch their shit is because of Rob.
>>70807918
I found out very early on that theory is about knowing the notes and how they connect, with the intervals and everything.
People would say "learn this scale" but that does nothing but teach you a shape, you need to know the scale formula of the scale and intervals of it to really know how to use it.
That's why I want to learn the notes more than anything.
>>70807861
Looking down on guitar EADGBE 5th fret is the same as the next string (5fret E is the same note as the A string), 7th fret is the same note as previous string (7th fret A string is E string) , also octaves on EADG strings
THIS IS JUST HOW I LEARNED. STOP HATTING, HATTERS
>>70807948
basically mesa made a really bad and overpriced DI and attacked people who criticized it.
SpectreSoundStudio (fat bass cunt) has a video calling it out, can't remember the exact details.
>>70807964
I only tried to watch the Ibanez booth and I didn't even bother, it was just an old cunt that goes "oh wow thin neck very speed". Absolutely unbearable.
>>70807861
all you really need to know is the names of the notes on the two lowest (thickest) strings and memorize the 5 shapes of the scale
the rest would be nice to know but ultimately is useless pretty much
>>70807948
It's a product released by Mesa Boogie that's supposed to emulate a cabinet. It sounded like shit but most of the Youtube gear guys gave it good reviews.
Chappers and the Captian made a video where they didn't say it was bad but if you read between the lines, you could tell that they knew it was shit.
They deleted the original video and uploaded another version where someone from Mesa had come to 'explain' the Cabclone (read: be there to make sure they didn't shit on it in the video, which they had to make so Andertons could maintain a good relationship with Mesa). It was still shit in the second video and they had to act like it wasn't, so the video has a rather uncomfortable vibe.
It's pretty funny to watch, in hindsight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCskTx1vYKU
>>70808021
>here your (hat)
You mad hatter
>>70808021
Notes refrence and intervals is probably the easiest way to learn.
>>70807995
>you need to know the scale formula of the scale and intervals of it to really know how to use it
No you dont
You need to know the shapes and how to transpose them, and find out what key you're in and then just come up with cool licks within the shapes
bam you're a guitar hero

same here except I absolutely love their sound. I hate everything else about them their tone to me is one of the best. anyone know if other companies strat copies are any better?
>>70808893
Why not just get a non-strat with a strat layout? The body shape won't make any difference.
There is no shittier finish than sunburst

desu i dont hate jazz, but i really dont like playing jazz as a guitarist. its not spicy enough
what's your recommended online retailer to get gear at (more specifically an electric guitar) in the U.S.? I'm looking at sweetwater since I got stuff there once, but what about amazon, guitar center? they good?
what's the best style of output jack?
>>70812515
>Efrim Menuck
>not Mike Moya
>>70812556
Sweetwater
Sometimes you'll find stuff on zzounds that have too good to be true prices. Bought sone cables from them once and they were as advertised
Reverb for used
Craigslist will have best deals
>>70812563
the one where you plug in your lead probably
>>70812563
The one that works best in a given situation?
>>70812576
I mean all of the guitar work in Godspeed really. Same thing with Stars Of The Lid. Are there any interviews that say who does what as far as guitar in Godspeed? I use the screwdriver thing all the time.
>>70812608
aight thanks for the input senpai

hehe people are so desperate to sell guitars
literally get really, really good shit for so cheap
things to look out for for cheap gear
-widower
-"heavily modded" stuff (just tell the guy its his loss for modding it, why should i pay for it)
-re-sell hipster trash (the pre-damaged look thing. literally sold a """rare""" damaged squire for $400)
-start any haggle at 20% asking price
>>70812981
Happened with me too, the blemish was basically a non issue.
>>70813113
For neck?
For fretboard?
For body?

My most recent retails for $750 and picked it up for $300, dude threw in a gig bag too.
There aren't ALWAYS deals out there, but keep some cash around to jump on them when they do pop up.
>>70813122
i enjoy haggling and hunting for deals on gear but you're the reason why people hate craigslist.

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't drop 3000 on a guitar tonight
>>70814274
you could drop 2500 and buy the one i want for 500
>>70814274
you have a 130 dollar amp
Some of you are hung up on buying guitars for thousands of dollars and shit....I mean why not just get a cheap decent guitar and actually improve your skill instead.
Literally nobody will tell the difference in sound between a squier strat and a $5k custom shop strat.
>>70814274
Because you suck at guitar
>>70814274
spend it on a decent waifu, yuri maybe.
So if I want to play guitar in headphones at night when peeps are asleep, do most amps have a spot to plug in
>>70814321
yes
>>70813592
Dont trust MN craigslist. There's a wolf among us
>>70814280
Nah, it's 120 watts, and I got it used for 500, so it's fine.
>>70814290
>>70814294
I've been playing for 12 years, I'm pretty fucking good in my opinion.
Isn't it time I finally have a guitar that plays at the highest level when I've been practicing and working for years to do the same?
>>70814299
But Sana is cute. CUTE.
>>70808927
i own a sunburst korean piece of shit and it's so bad at all levels
>>70814321
Most solid state and digital amps will. Tube will not.
>>70814290
>youre not good if you want nice gear
Is that how you validate yourself in being a poorfag? You dont need good gear to sound good cause youre good at your instrument? It might come as a surprise to you, but no one does.
>>70814362
>I've been playing for 12 years
means nothing
>>70814274
Which one? GG will pick
>>70814362
No, you have to play on the same entry level equipment that everyone else here does. They got mad at me one time for posting a picture of my gibson. Then they got madder when i told them i owned a house and a car that costs $42000. Topkek, i didnt get pissy about people that had the good stuff back when I was in highschool.
>>70814362
i've been strumming to knocking on heaven's door for 15 years am i good yet?
also why buy a 5k guitar when you can make your own for less?
How do I get into country guitar lead style playing? Who are some artists to listen to? I like the melodic style versus blues style playing.
>>70814362
>But Sana is cute. CUTE.
Maybe, but Yuri is the perfect woman.
>judging your worth as a player by how expensive your guitar is
>>70808379
This but also push the string down while pusing the pin up.
>>70812608
>Craigslist will have best deals
Depends on the area. Mine has a bunch of junk. People try to sell broken shit, most likely a ton of stolen shit too. Be sure to inspect and try to bring someone to watch your back.

Nigga, a lot of times you get what you pay for.
If you want the shape you want in the color and finish with the pickups and hardware you want, you're going to need to spend money for it.
Just because you can't afford shit and you're upset about it doesn't mean others who can afford it shouldn't get what they really want
>how good are you at geetar/10
>how expensive is your main guitar/amp/pedlabaord/10

I am a fraud.
>he hangs guitars on the wall
>>70814703
I love my Squiers. Can play without treating them like they are some antique vase. I'm no Hendrix but makes me feel good when I come up with a progression or nice melody.
This thread reminds me of this old screencap of an /r9k/ thread where this guy was talking about how he cheated on his girlfriend and then felt bad about it and wanted to tell her. All the responses were from people crying about how he wasnt being sensitive to the fact that most people there were virgins and he was complaining about having sex with 2 different girls. They said it was really hurtful to them.
>>70814839
Sounds like you might have actually realized the instrument is just a worthless piece of wood without the player. What a revelation!
>>70814728
>as anything
If you're an adult and you're still comparing yourself to other people to try to feel good about yourself then you need help.
so whats the cheapest tube amp thats actually decent. i need something fairly portable and it doesnt have to be super loud either
fender blues junior?
>>70814929
>tube amp meme
>>70814896
I know right. We enlightened adults can't even tip in peace!
>>70814929
What's cheap? Vox, hughes and kettner, blackstar and orange all have something around 15 watts in the $500 range. Marshall has a low wattage dsl, but i dont remember the price.
If you go used you can het a sovtek mig, peavey windsor, blues jr, and maybe a vox ac15 for under $500.
>>70814846
So me having 5,000 disposable dollars to spend on gear is being hurtful and insensitive to all the poor bus riding faggots in this thread with Squires pretending to be happy with their 200 dollar piece of shit?
Fuck them. Get on my level or shut the fuck up.

>>70814703
But I'm not a meanie
>>70814894
It seems so. The challenge is always trying to get the sound in my head to the guitar.
>>70814990
Theyre also convinced that since they played the expensive guitar with a shitty set up and year old strings through a shitty practice amp at guitat center that theyre an expert on knowing what makes a good guitar.
>>70815035

You can do it too if you fucking tried and quit whining about how someone having nice gear means they suck at guitar because you said so.
>>70814989
yea fender or vox are the general sounds im looking for
dont need a super loud gig amp or anything, just something thats a little warmer and thicker than my practice amp, and receives pedals better.
>>70815085
Is this nigga bragging about living alone in a hovel?
>>70815104
From exeperience the blues jr tends to be more brightnand twangy than warm. Turning the bass up makes it boomy and unpleasant. I have the nos twees, not that it makes a difference.
>>70815127
Better than living with his parents :^)
>>70814763
>how good are you at guitar/10
Probably 7/10
>how expensive is your main guitar/amp/pedalboard/10
How am I supposed to rank that out of ten? It's about $4,200 total. $1400 guitar + $2000 half-stack + $800 pedalboard
>>70815138
i mean tubes in general sounding warmer than a digital amp
but yea fender for your bright and sparkly tones and vox for your punchy mid tones seems to be the general consensus
>he uses guitars as a front to brag about his wealth and social status
my bass
got it in like 2003
it's pretty awesome
>>70815181
It definetly sounds nicer than cheap solid state amps. I was going to have Bill M do some mods for me but he passed away last year. His mods made the amp sound great.
>>70815181
I'd check out the new vox mini amps that came out this year at NAMM
>>70815165
but his goal is money, he'd have more living with his parents.
