I always laugh when I see some dumb shit buy a cheap guitar and immediately start "upgrading" it. They usually start by asking for replacement pickup suggestions. It's like why, you dumb fuck? Why did you buy a guitar you didn't think sounded good to begin with? I'll tell you why: because you don't know what the fuck you're doing and you have no clue what the fuck you're after. You bought some retarded piece of shit because of how it looked in a picture on the internet and then when you got it home and actually played it ..it sounded and played like straight up ass. So you started "upgrading" it instead of admitting to yourself that you don't know shit and made a mistake, or that the guitars construction was so shitty that you didn't have any other choice but to "upgrade" it to make it a playable instrument. Here's the thing though: you could have just saved all the time and money you sank/wasted into "upgrading" a piece of shit and just bought a decent guitar to begin with. You bedroom warriors are a hilarious lot, watching you flail about trying to polish turds into diamonds. If a diamond is what you wanted why didn't you just go out and buy a diamond to begin with?

Because you're fucking stupid, that's why.

There's literally no reason to buy Gibson guitars in 2017 unless you care more about your image than actually playing guitar

>>70886163
the lower 2-3 strings just don't sound very good to most people when played high, especially past the 12th fret. thicker strings need more of themselves available to resonate nicely, too little and it can sound constricted. that said, plenty of bands have made great use of high power chords and made them sound amazing. repeater by fugazi is practically based on them and that's one of the all time greats

>>70886228
if you're just playing at hoime the Blackstar is perfect. Peavey Bandits are really shitty sounding compared to the Blackstar, go from a tube amp to a transistor and you'll be jonesing for the old amp back in no time.

If you're starting to get out gigging then save up for a bigger tube amp. You will not enjoy owning a Peavey Bandit.

>>70886284
ah, fuck me, i see what you were ACTUALLY asking
i guess there are a number of reasons for that, for one thing it's hard to play them with gusto when you need to keep your right hand muting the lower strings so you really can't whack them with much gusto. if you want to hear some then listen to some post punk/goth or u2

OK thanks
My fav is the D shape (I don't play metal, so that's probably why)
G shape is interesting as well
After gigging with people and checking the internet, I realized that it was not commonly used/common knowledge
So I was wondering

I'd rather just have one, but when I sell some I buy some more.

>>70886428
The most I can think of is three, and two of them aren't really useful or necessary.
Add bass and it goes up to five.

>>70886428
I've owned over 20 guitars and I have never had more than 1 at a time. If I find a guitar I really like I won't play any others that I have in my possession.

"Seven sharp five". And I'm assuming you know that +5 would be said "altered five" or "alt five".

>>70886157

>>70887339
People who play more genres than dadrock, that's basically just a 7th chord

>>70887520
Got it, for some reason I thought the +5 would be read as add5

I replaced basically everything other than the neck and body in my Mexican HH Jazzmaster. Theres no way it was worth the money in the end bit i love my dumb meme guitar so much.

I invested so much in this one i pretty much never play my Gibson LP studio or American Standard strat anymore though. Should I sell one of those two or will I regret it?

>>70887588
Nope, although I can see how that would be misleading. In virtually all musical contexts, though, it is assumed that a given chord will include the fifth, which saves time when writing chords shorthand. In a diatonic context, the m7b5 (or half-diminished) chord is spelled as such because the mode from which it is derived (Locrian) contains a flat five and is the only mode of the major scale which has this characteristic. In the context of jazz improvisation, the alt 5 chord (or any other altered chord) would indicate to the musicians the type of scale to be played over that chord, specifically the altered scale, which has a unique, very non-diatonic, "outside" sound that resolves nicely to another diatonic chord.

Nah, he's claiming it's a custom lineout for another speaker. I get what it's supposed to be, but it looks like shit, and it doesn't explain the missing screws. Fuck that. It doesn't help that the price is suspiciously low for that amp (80 euros). I've got an offer for a new Fender Mustang I for 65 euros, I think I'll go ahead and take that offer.

>>70888798
Yeah get the Mustang.

Yeah, it really looks like a shit job of a mod. Shame, since I quite like the sounds from that model. No matter, I've been wanting to try a Mustang amp for some time now, 65 euros won't put me in the poorhouse and won't hurt if I won't like the amp very much.

>>70888896
the lack of screws in the cabinet suggests he's been running it with no back on so he can keep reaching in and fixing the wires back on his shitty mod, probably because it's two wires twisted together and held with electrical tape and no solder

just for shits and giggles, ask him for detailed photos of the mod and how it's wired to the circuit board

The individual parts don't sound too hard. The overlapping riffs have an opposing feel which makes it sound busy and harder than it is

>>70889680
aww, I'll reply then. I gave it a listen. It doesn't sound particularly difficult. It might be difficult for a beginner, but I think your average intermediate player would be able to get it down.

>>70889737

>>70889422
How would one go about getting a guitar sound like this?

>>70889761
I meant it's a good guitar for uncoordinated wankers who break everything they're handed

>>70889844
this may surprise someone who doesn't leave their bedroom to shit or play guitar, but having an instrument that's essentially invincible is a plus when you're putting down the money that a decent used car costs for it

it's a great guitar with unique features and sound, it being indestructible is a bonus :)

>>70889940
well, I've only played a few thousand gigs in the last 49 years, what do I know

Guys, are Blackstar ID Core modelling amps worth it?

>>70890036

>>70890034
si jeunesse savait, si vieillesse pouvait

so i'm two years down the road now. i started with a really shitty acoustic and played that for a year, and then i bought a classical last year, and have been getting quite better. my classical doesn't really need upgrading, its a student model but its still real, with a patina and nice finish

however, my acoustic was absolute dog shit, and i finally just got a nice one today. it has bone nut and saddle, rosewood and spruce, solid top, fancy tuning pegs, nice finish, etc. the only thing it doesn't have is an inlay, but i don't need that, and this is nice enough that i am considering buying a second guitar so that i don't have to ever take this one out of the house.

i want a nice guitar strap for it. its got two pegs for a strap, and i didn't want to put one of the shitty straps i already have on an expensive guitar.

any recs?
thinking of a nice leather or something which won't wear out

>>70890133
if you're looking for something truly nice the garment leather Levy's straps are fantastic and super comfortable

Okay guys, I'm retarded. I got superglue in my pick up selector (LP style) so it's stuck in one position. Will swabbing it with nail polish (acetone) to dissolve the glue be enough, or do I need to get a while 'nother pick up selector switch?

LMAO WEED AMIRIGHT?

>>70890340
there's a high chance that if you have any used guitars your guitar has super glue under the nut or frets...or one would hope, because super glue is extremely useful
for seating frets and making nuts not rip out wood when replaced

being that you're pretending to know what you're talking about this probably surprises you

>>70890434
if you superglue a nut in then it's a bitch to get out when it wears down

wood glue for nuts, superglue for frets

>>70890516
nonono don't do that, you use it to set the nut against the fretboard at the front, not the bottom

>gluing a nut in

you do realize the string tension will just hold the nut in place don't you

Lol don't worry, I fixed it guys. It's still quite stubborn but I should be able to manage to clean the rest of the glue out.

Like I said, I'm retarded.

is joyo really that bad? i love the overdrive i got from them, thinking about getting their tremolo

i'd grab a boss one, but it's like double the price, am i really just paying for better casing?

>>70890715
it's not bad at all, dude. I've got a few things from Joyo and they all work fine. I've got a mate who runs a guitar shop and he's a big fan of theirs.

I think he was talking about your current gear. How much did you spend on all that?

>>70891893
christ what's that fucking transparent sg like guitar?

>>70892145
It's a custom order Electric Guitar Company SG style. I like aluminum necks and the SG shape so it's pretty much perfect to me, probably really heavy though, unless they offer it in the normal body with the aluminum colored top.

>>70891893
I was gonna do this but gave up halfway through

>>70892174
>>70891893
if it's all aluminum it's not too bad, I own a Series 5 with an extra pickup and it's probably around 8 pounds

the acrylic though? absolutely brutally heavy...just way too heavy desu

>>70892178
I was listening to Dopelord's new album while I made it so it took me a bit.

>>70892212
Yeah that's what I'd figured. I'm not getting the money to custom order one of those suckers any time soon but if I had the cash I'd get an aluminum one.

I don't like pedals. They're a waste of money and they don't make you a better musician. The only exception is a delay/reverb pedal if your amp does not have any, and even then I still don't care enough so I don't need one.

A good amp with a good dirt/clean channel is more important in this day and age to make actual decent band music than anything else right now. Shoegaze and indie fags are ruining the guitar industry with their shit pedalboards, and while I'm at it, they're shit taste in guitars too.

>>70886653
it is a nice practice amp. never gig with one of these amps though, as they sit terribly in the mix and sound muddy as all hell when they get loud.

>>70893680
some good points and bad

of course buying new gear won't make you better, but certain pieces of gear can help you construct your sound and encourage you to experiment/practice more

plus, some genres just require more pedals than others. saying pedals are ruining the guitar industry is like saying
>muh full orchestras are ruining the classical industry! real composers only need a string quartet reeeee

if you play rock, you probably need a bit of crunch so you'll need an overdrive pedal at the very least (unless youre ok with running your tube amp at full volume any time you want to practice)

if you play country, you need some compression and a slapback delay

if you play psychedelic shit, you probably want a fuzz and a wah

if you play indie, you need whatever indie people use, etc etc.


me? i have a looper, a boost/overdrive, a reverb, compressor, delay and chorus. simple pedalboard, compact, not 'collecting' anything, just utilitarian. no reason to say pedals are ruining the guitar industry
