>>outdated sounding
Outdated musicians who don't want to step outside of their comfort zone you mean.
>>all genres creatively exhausted
There are genres not yet discovered due to the aforementioned problem.
>>limited musical range
Yeah, every musical instrument is limited in some way, that's why we have so many.
>>takes years to master
As does anything worth doing. What else are you doing with your life?
>>and even when you do there's always an 8yo Asian that's better and more accomplished than you'll ever be
There will always be someone better and always someone worse. Just gotta see how far you can climb.
>>if you're technical the audience will say you're just showing off
That's fine because music is subjective.
>>if you're restrained the audience will say you can't play
That's fine because music is subjective.
>>an electric guitar isn't a complete instrument until you pair it with an amplifier
Of course, but a computer isn't a computer without a monitor. I mean there are lots of things that need to be paired with something else to work as intended.
>>so it's expensive
Not really. You can get a decent beginner setup for under $500. The price of what people spend on a decent graphics card or a console and a couple games these days. You can't use the old space or noise constraints argument either anymore because there are amp pedals now and there are these neat things called headphones that have been around for years.
>>playing can give rise to health problems like arthritis and carpel tunnel
True, but if you already have arthritis, I've heard that it can actually help those with it somewhat, by exercising and stretching their hands. I'm not talking shredding, just laid back playing. Don't know how true that is though.
>>all the good pussy goes to rap niggers
Who plays guitar to get women? I'd rather have another guitar or a pedal or something than a woman. They're a pain in the arse nowadays.

>>70861149
I went to music school for 11 years, learning classical guitar.

I kind of like it, not as much as the regular Boden design though. I'd definitely get one of those before an American HSS strat. But do they make them with maple fretboards? It would look a lot better

they're guitars for people with loads of money and no taste in guitars who never go out and play a gig, in fact they never even play the guitar, it just hangs on their fucking wall because if they took it out of the house and it got scratched then that's $5000 off the value

Frederick Noad's books are pretty good as an introduction. Otherwise a typical classical student will learn from a combination of performance pieces, etudes and scale studies (usually Segovia for guitar). It's the type of study that is pretty difficult without an instructor, unfortunately.

Figure which one you like more. The sonic has a humbucker so that's the first main difference you should check out. You might really want that over all singles. That might be enough on it's own to help you decide.

guitar newfag question:
can i use this little dot mkii amp with a guitar (currently using it as part of my turntable setup)

>>70865142
At least drums have merit. Drums have had more of an influence on music. Drums also sound good with jazz, unlike guitar. If you wanted to play in an orchestra youre not going to be able to do it with a dean and a tiny terror. Youll meed an actual classical guitar that most players wouldnt be equipped to play. You cant just jump to cello cause you play guitar, where as with drums a lot of the technique transfers between instruments

>>70865223
Probably, but itll probably sound like shit.

>>70865262

>>70865323
>being this retarded

>blast beat
How fucking neckbeard are you?

>>70865283
it's not a high end amp by any means, but if it plays records fine why wouldn't it able to produce acceptable guitar sound?

>>70864670
it's the guitarists who are boring
I feel like musical advancement has stopped/slowed down and it's all a rehash of previous genres and shit

>>70865363

Are there any arguments against owning a Kemper? I've been seriously considering it, seems like amp end game.

>>70865557
You can get a good tube amp for $350 to $500.

You dont need a million amp sounds

Playing comes from inside you

You can literally sound good for $50

193rd for jcm 900 being the forst hybrid amp

>>70865596

I do agree with those points, and I do have a Vox AC30. But I mean, it's a good alternative to buying multiple tube amps and having to deal with the upkeep of tube amps. Sometimes I want a Marshall sound, sometimes a Fender.

>>70865557
Man I don't think there are. I know, having a real amp feels much better (not talking about the feel while playing, I'm talking about touching the knobs, etc.) I know you can get tube amps for 350$ or 500$ like >>70865596
said but the thing is, for eg. if you want a Friedman, Bogner, or any other "boutique" amp, unless you're rich Kemper will be the closest you'll get to them (both feel and sound). I think if you have the financial power, do it.

What kind of pedal would i need to play metal on a blues jr?

Hey guys, been looking at getting the Digitech Polara and Obscure Delay, really like the demos, but I'm not sure if I should be going for a regular reverb or an analog delay (MXR Carbon Copy seems really nice). Any advice? I'll be running them into a Blues Jr.

Can a blues jr play ska like reel big fish?

My Afterneath stopped working recently and I'm not sure why.

I don't remember doing anything to cause it. It was fine and now whether I turn it on or off it doesn't make any sound at all. It does make noise when I turn up the parameters and get it to feedback, but that's it. The guitar sounds totally clean and normal when it's on otherwise.

Anyone know what to do about this? The screws are pretty big and obvious so I'm considering just opening it myself but I wouldn't really know where to start unless it was something super obvious

didnt mr keef play a princeton? isnt that a proto blues jr?

>>70865984
The blues jr has a reverb tank so you dont need a pedal

>>70865984
This is why you don't buy meme pedals. It's better that you learned this lesson now.

>>70865984

afaik Earthquaker's cust service answers pretty much immediately and they do offer lifetime guarantee with their pedals, contact them first.

They just released a new version of the Afterneath, they'll probably just replace yours.

If i run 2 power amps in series do i get twice the volume?

You diny need a lot of amp and × money to be great player

What is objectively the best scale? Is it A minor pentatonic because its easy to use or c minor harmonic because it sounds so deep and emotional

Blues and Country are as harmonically complex as you would like to make them.

Metal is like a razor with edges on all sides and no handle on reality.
