>>70853212
I hate Strats almost as much as I hate Meme Pauls

>>70853227
Can someone tell me why Gibsons break so much? Why haven't they fixed the issue after all these years?

What's the shittest guitar you've ever owned lads?

My first guitar was a £40 strat.

Which big guitar brand is the best guys?

>>70853238
the ceo is garbage and the only good gibson is one on cleareance so i don't feel bad when I drill holes in it and change the pickups

>>70853241
Ibanez is best value for the money by a mile.

>>70853238
There's no volute where the neck joins the headstock, making it prone to breakage.

>>70853240
My first guitar was a crappy used acoustic of some no name brand. My second and first electric was another no name knock off brand.

>>70853269
But why though?
Gibson knows it has an issue with headstocks breaking, why don't they fix it? Why keep making a flawed product and why do people keep buying them regardless?

>>70853238
so when you go past the nut on a guitar, you want a little bit of back angle on the string when it goes to the tuning peg to keep it from slipping around out of tune, most guitars go about 10-15 degrees, gibson went full retard 60 years ago and went like 30 degrees without a neck volute

when you drop it, it's the first thing to hit and it's weak so it goes to SNAP CITY

they actually put a volute in years ago, but gibson purists(fags) requested it be removed

>>70853228
o-oh...
well i'm sorry you feel that way

>>70853241

Fender is just cheap. They're cheap to make, cheap materials, cheap build quality, but you're paying for the name.
There is absolutely no reason a Strat or Tele should cost any more than a few hundred

Post your guitar or bass.

They're made out of hand-selected tonewoods. And the headstocks don't break off. That kind of craftsmanship doesn't come cheap.

>breaking head stocks
WRONG
they have the best head stock design by far. It's an improved strat

I wish some sciency fucker would strap some nearly identical guitars with different woods into a machine that plays them exactly the same way and analyze the frequencies they produce.

Would that not put an end to these fucking tonewood arguments?

>>70853435
If they were all electrics through the same amp, same pickups and same strings, they would all sound the same.
Wood is a meme on electrics.

Black Rooster Audio just released a free amp sim based on a Tiny Terror. Sounds damn good, and it's a nice plug and play practice amp. Definitely better than Guitar Rig's Orange amp.

<200$ for a limited run 95' american strat, mine needs some refretting though, old owner didn't let this one collect dust

Convince me why I should get a better amp instead of a new guitar?

The 2nd guitar I ever owned. I only had an acoustic and was in guitar center. Impulse bought some BC Rich on sale 100$.

"shittiest" guitar i had, i found in the trash on the way to school. no name acoustic, beat to shit, and the bridge broke off. all the pins were still in it with the strings. i pocketed the pins and bridge, threw the strings out. at school a bunch of girls colored all over it. when i got home i fixed the bridge and put the old strings from my electric on it. took it everywhere that summer like a fag that takes their guitar everywhere. one day i smashed it like an axe on my bedpost, it exploded into like toothpick sized splinters. i was fuckin shocked. wish i still had it, desu.

Im also not trying to say that my $80 ebay super strat was on the same level as my american tele or sg standard, but it was playable. The most unpleasant guitar i ever had was probaly an ltd kh 203. Ugly, cheesy inlays, shitty floyd rose that was hardly usable, passive emgs, neck was pretty narrow and the shaoe was uncomfortable. But even then all that was just minor annoyances, i gigged with it as my main for 4 years.

Pretty much any ESP in my opinion. Great value guitars there. You can play metal on anything with the right setup, so whatever it most comfortable or easiest to play for you I'd say.

new guitar fag here
>can play most chords
>can play most barre chords
>can play power chords
>know some scales

How can I take my mediocre playing to the next level, I want to be able enough to jam, improvise all that kind of cool funky stuff, kind of like the Prince acoustic video, I like how he's able to jam and riff between chords, that's the sort of stuff I want to learn.

>>70855625
Theory.

Literally male ass eating faggots in these threads will tell you otherwise, but theory will open up your music in new ways and you'll understand how to compose and write more interesting songs.

>>70855593
>graph clearly shows a difference

Theory doesn't mean dick if you aren't playing and applying what you know already.

>There are no rules. I think it's funny when people take all these music theory classes, it's exactly that. It's theory. You have 12 fucking notes, the 13th one is the octave, do whatever you want with them. It's really that simple. There are no mistakes - EVH
kek you just got btfo theory fag

Play videogame music that you know. But playing as you're listening to it, no tabs, no sheet music, helps a lot with learning the fretboard to improvise later.

While this is true, if he's just playing for fun then theory will only make it tedious and there's a 40% chance he'll just drop it and move on to some other hobby

>>70855625
learn WHY each chord is That chord

i.e. figure out what all the notes are in the chord and why those notes make up that particular chord

do this and you'll be well on your way to understanding the basics of music theory

>>70855687
if people drop guitar because theory is too hard then that's no great loss to the world of music

Eddie is one of the biggest guitar hacks in history, he literally got famous from tapping. Fucking tapping!
And he knows theory too, and uses it all the time, he's just trying to seem hip and cool by pretending he doesn't and that "it just comes to him".

Marty Friedman is the same, he knows everything about theory but always says he doesn't. At least Marty isn't a douche about it.

I hope you know how big of a faggot you sound right now, slurping Eddie's cock as hard as you are.

>>70855687

>>70855686

Spend $2000 on an axe FX.

I find it hilarious that dude has THREE sets of SIGNATURE DIMARZIO pickups but he runs them through a fucking computer processor that will make a squire and his $3000 majesty sig all sound the exact same.

>>70857017
A lot of amps with reverb spring trays do this, it's feedback. Disconnect the reverb pan, move it to another location on the amp, experiment with different placing, different orientation to the speaker. Also try mounting it on rubber grommets.

>>70856947
The Bongo is great. Powerful but versatile sound and comfy to play. Neck is pretty much in between a P and J neck, if you want humbucking with a jazz neck you might wanna take a look at the Music Man Sterling (the actual bass model, not the cheaper MM sub-brand).

Really, there's no longer any need for huge 100 Watt backline amps any more. Those were designed in the 1960s when you had to hear the backline above the drummer. Now everything goes through a huge PA, you could play through a 5 Watt amp and still be heard. As long as the monitors are good there's no need for 100 Watt backline.

also, 90% of the time they're not playing the same guitar you're playing, even if it's expensive

I've read the they usually use a heavily (but not visibly) upgraded version of their signature model with better materials, hardware, fretwork and electronics.

Sometimes that kind of shit from artists ascends to unbearable levels. In the mid 2000s when KISS decided to keep going after the "farewell" tour, Paul was using a fucking Silvertone. I half considered one but when I held it I knew there was no way in fucking hell these can make it through a gig, let alone at a professional level. For all their jew instincts it was depressing him stooping as low as "endorsing" Silvertones. Even the tail end of his Washburns with the knockoff Firebirds were decent, but the mid to high tier Icemans he has now with Ibanez are at least tolerable

Yeah I'm sure Opeth are in the habit of letting any old random retard dumping the trash at a venue handle the instruments they'd need to play a gig with later that night.

Like I said: whatever you say, squirt.
