>>70932640

Well, I'm currently torn between getting a set of 'true' single coils and shielding the hell out of my strat, or getting some noiseless single coils. Problem is I think the latter sacrifices too much tone, but neck and bridge are my favourite pick ups and damn does the hum get loud in my room. Any opinions?

The fact that [spoiler]so many books still name The Beatles[/spoiler] John Frusciante used a bunch of SSL-1s has convinced me I can do the same without significant hum, but I don't know which way to go.

Shit, someone was paying attention.

No, unfortunately not. Got 2nd to a guy who could sing and play at the same time, as well as play other instruments. It was pretty much the only way I wouldn't've made the cut, and that they found a guy in this town that fit that bill and was available actually made me impressed. Maybe this shithole has some more hidden bosses than I thought.

At least the band I was already in got even better after we fired our old drummer. Now we have a jazz-based drummer who's super solid and is actually willing to learn new material, so we're booking more gigs and learning more songs.

>>70932771

I know, but if I do that I'll buy some high quality pick ups. If I don't do it, I won't bother shielding and just throw some noiseless pick ups in there.

No one here could ever pass an ABX test between a tube amp and a high-end modeling transistor amp.
Tube is hipster nonsense unless you get it dirt cheap.

The thing is, I think my problem with single coils is rf interference. Like, if I play at certain places and hold my guitar at a very certain x, y, z position, I'll get minimal hum. I just don't know if I would be better off just getting noiseless pick ups and losing a bit of tone to ensure I get no hum, even with high gain amps etc.

This desu.

Had a guy come into the shop I work at with an Epi LP Junior. Scoffed when he said he wanted to put a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates into it. Told him it was worth more than the guitar, he didn't care.

A professional set-up and pickup swap later and it sounded like a USA-made guitar does. For about $150. Plays pretty decent, too.

>>70933380
Real-talk, the only thing that goes into a USA-made or high-end guitar is the setup. Tonewoods are myths, except maybe the neck has a bit to do with it. It's mostly pickups and your playing style.

However, a lot of labor goes into setting up a guitar properly. The thing that separates most imports from USA/luthier stuff is time and attention to detail. You don't get full fret dressings, well-crafted woods, and perfect setups in imports except by fluke.

However, the frugal option should always be to buy a cheap guitar with an EVEN neck (no humping/uneven sides) and decent enough frets and do a pup swap on it. It's the easiest way to get a nice-sounding and playing guitar.

Case in point, I've got a Peavey Limited Series EXP from Korea that I picked up for $60 used that just rips, even with the stock pups. Even neck, decent frets, and always has a lot of upgrade options with the HSS configuration. I prefer it to many higher end guitars I've held.

It just takes a keen eye and understanding of how guitars work to look for decent guitars.

What if your main amp head has a higher wattage than your slave unit?

Ye they're an incredible band. Still sad I missed the reunion show in Canada due to health issues.

But I did a bass cover of "She Is Inside, He Is Outside" and the bassist/singer of MOTFD tweeted it out twice since she enjoyed it so much. That feels really good still. Thinking of doing another because of that.

>>70934219
Oh wow that's fucking cool as shit. I'm super jealous.

I actually bought a bass to start learning on because of the bassline in that song. One of my favorites by them.

>>70934239
That's awesome man, I can see why someone would want to pick it up after hearing a bassline like that. It's definitely my favorite song they've done partially because of that.

What the fuck did you just fucking play near me you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated at the top of my class at Berklee College of Music, and I’ve been involved in numerous guitar workshops on tour, and I have over 300 confirmed broken headstocks. I am trained in music theory and I’m the top virtuoso on ReverbNation Soundcloud. You are nothing to me but just another bedroom rocker. I will sweep-pick you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with playing that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, shoegazer. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of talent agents across the USA and your demo is being passed on right now so you better prepare for the squidlies, trogdor. The squidlies that wipe out the pathetic little thing you call your music career. You’re fucking uninspired, kid. I can jam anywhere, anytime, and I can solo in over seven hundred modes, and that’s just with my Gibson EDS-1275. Not only am I extensively trained in Frippertronics, but I have access to the entire discography of Guns N Roses, AC/DC, and the Rolling Stones and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” riff was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have turned down your fucking reverb. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shred fury all over you and you will drown in it. Your fucking headstock is broken, kiddo.

I'm the artist formerly known as Nujabes.

no clue why the hell i'm obsessed with nirvana after not giving a shit about them since like 9th grade. something about the melodicism and kurt's distain for any amount of technique is cool to me

anyway got my guitar professionally set up by this great shop this week and the way it plays now is just fantastic honestly. they set the action perfect and fixed the bridge and did other shit that i don't even understand, but it plays like a dream. worth the money if anyone is thinking about it.

although what was really worth it was the guy taking like an hour to walk me through all the stuff that he did, showing me the electronics and all that. it's just great that small shops with skilled techs still exist

What is the quickest way to learn an entire scale in every key ?

>>70934663

>>70933991
I'm writing a metal instrumental. I've been listening to a lot of Revocation lately, and their weird sense of melody has been seeping in

>>70934663
I've kinda had a similar phase recently. I became much more sympathetic towards Kurt when I realized he was in constant physical pain from some stomach condition that was never properly diagnosed, which led to his heroin addiction and fucked-up depression. The music makes more sense and makes it more relatable than before.
>if anyone is thinking about it
Why would anyone ever not want their guitar professionally setup? EVERY guitar needs a proper setup. Glad you finally got yours done.
Glad you found a place where the guy actually showed you, too. Keep going here.
>>70934700
Practice.

>>70934701
Literally said that the guy walked him through what he did so that he can now do at least a basic set up on his own.

Everyone has to be shown how at some point.

>>70934314
Did a demo too.
>implying anyone cares
https://my.mixtape.moe/xlywux.mp3

>>70934701
ah here we go

to be honest i have great technique, it just interests me that he could make great music without giving a shit about it

>can't set up his own guitar

yeah that's true, i never really bothered with it. playing interests me way more. but the only reason i brought it in was because i was tinkering with it and fucked up the pickups so he helped me and i just thought i'd give him the work and let him do a full set up on it. it was worth it desu

>>70934711
>Glad you found a place where the guy actually showed you, too

yeah it was super unexpected because i just thought he would take it and give it back to me in a week or something, but he told me to come back with him and took it apart for me there. it was awesome as a layman to electronics to see how it actually works (simpler than i originally though honestly). i'm definitely going to give him as much work as i can

>>70934741

>>70934799
Yeah, that's part of it, but as they other guy said it's because of the thin tone and mixing.

I didn't mean it in a bad way btw. It reminds me of The Advantage, and they're great.

>>70934160
Same I can't play the solo but the riff is fun to play.

>>70934788

Yeah I do, most of the time I write by tracking a draft as I go. So it's a rough mix and the drums are just a template for now, but you get the idea:

>>70934801

The other guitarist in my band uses a 6505mh. Even on 20 watts it sounds fizzy and lacks low end. For the longest time I assumed it was only because of his Line 6 4x12, but we tried it with my Mesa 4x12 a while ago and it still doesn't hold up to a regular 6505.

But no, you won't have a volume problem with it

Well, fizziness was a given, due to the EL84. It not holding up to the big 120W head was also expected. A bummer that it lacks low end, even with its resonance knob.

I just want to play at home at night, why don't speaker companies make low sensitivity versions of their common speakers?

Really want one of these but am not sure I will like the pickups. I tend to use EMGs but I do love pickups like Invaders and SD Distortions.

I've heard nothing but amazing things about Chapman guitars, but am kind of worried they're a YouTube meme.

>>70937145
Legit not sure if you're being serious or not right now

>>70937164
About which part?

>>70937176
>I've heard nothing but amazing things about Chapman guitars
This part specifically. Everything everywhere says they're pure shit.

>>70937245
Really? I haven't seen a bad review yet but I haven't really done a ton of research yet. Basically everyone I've read says they sound fucking great. Is it problems with the hardware or something?

The only good guitar is one made by your own hand. Why play something made by someone else? You're the one playing it so you should be the one to get to know it personally during construction.

>>70936448
>>70936496

>>70937274
Because it would be a disaster.

>>70937291
Excuses.
That disaster can be a learning experience for the next one and eventually you will make a pristine guitar

>>70937269
They're just budget guitars made in the same shitty factory as the budget ESPs and Shecters and PRS SE guitars in Indonesia, but with his logo and headstock. They're not special or new or anything, just rebranded guitars with his logo.
Their entire selling point is that Chappers is from the UK so they advertise them as a UK brand, when really they're just Indonesian shit like all other shit budget guitars.
They're a meme, made by the Meme Lord himself.

Yes I also chop down the trees for the wood in the body and neck, forge my own copper after mining it myself for the pickups, mine my own metals for the magnets, find my own oil for all the plastics necessary, make the rubber for the inner wiring and get all the metal needed for the tuning machines and other metal components by myself.

I don't think you understood him. If you're going to use premade pickups, you'll have to assemble your own gun, powder, and shot from materials in your backyard and rob the local guitar store. It's the only way to assert your dominance over those foolish guitar part peddlers.

Rossiniana No1 by Mauro Giuliani.
Progress on this 15 minute song has been VERY slow the last 3 weeks.
I'm almost 3/4 through learning it.
I need to have it learned by the end of February so I can start on Rossiniana No2 for March/April and Rossiniana No3 by May/June. Ideally I'll be able to learn all 6 by this year.

All of these tunes sit at an average of 13 minutes, some a little longer.

I've seen roman reveal his power level a few times here and there, he knows way more than he lets on to. This is why his bait is always so alluring, when he takes a dig he's digging in deep and it really hurts
I've been in /gg/ since /gg/ started, when roman first showed up from /b/ he was trollish in nature but he did basically engage in discussion and was generally helpful. He changed into what he is now after the autists in /gg/ decided it was a good idea to dox him. The problem always was that they couldn't ignore him, just like it is now. Since the beginning /gg/ has always been too thick to understand that they don't have to reply, that no one is forcing them to respond. Why that is I don't know
/gg/ isn't the way it is because of roman, roman is the way he is because of /gg/

>>70939066

>>70939085
You're right he could have but he didn't. Go look at the last few threads, look how well this has worked out for /gg/. You can't blame roman for that, it's /gg/ taking the bait every time he drops it. That's the real problem and it always has been even before roman showed up

>>70939134

I'm not apologizing for the little shithead, I wish he would die already. That being said he's not responsible for the state of these threads, /gg/ is

Redpill me on electro-acoustic guitars.
