No, but you may need to release the truss rod an eighth to a quarter turn.

Hey guys,
I picked up a squier Classic Vibe Telecaster a couple of months ago
It's honestly such a great guitar for the price it has and it plays great.
The pickups can be kinda noisy though, any good suggestions for upgrades?
Mostly into cleaner guitar stuff

>>70985544
Depends on what you can spend. But Gison/Epiphone SG is as good as any to learn on. I wouldn't worry much about trim level of the instrument, just basic style and how to set it up.

DiMarzio make some good single coil noiseless pickups. Don't go with humbuckers if you like clean sounds, look for noiseless single coils.

Now either you give me some tabs or you can go fuck yourself

>>70985890
Try this tool. It gives you all the notes on the fretboard in a given chord and you can make your own arpeggio shapes from it. Although be aware that once you get to chords with many notes in them you have to know on your own when to omit certain notes otherwise it ends up sounding like a scale run

I hope you can make it sound right cause these things are hell to play.

>>70986370
Are they? never had a problem with it.

How much did a Roland Jazz Chorus cost when it first came out? I read it became really popular in the 70s because it was more affordable than a tube amp and still produced a decent tone, but today they're in the same price range as a Vox AC-30 or a Fender Deluxe Reverb.

>>70986531
Yeah, I found the neck joint very uncomfortable to play.

>>70985710
>Don't go with humbuckers if you like clean sounds
I actually don't mind the clean tone I get out my Ibanez with humbuckers. It's got decent clarity

Ok, how and what am I supposed to be doing?

>>70987395
Put both knobs at noon, adjust trimpot til effect off and effect on are roughly the sane volume. Youll need a thin coin or a flat head screwdriver or something

It might introduce hum, but thats just the nature of compressors.

>>70987428

Because apparently we need more evidence that guitar is being replaced by laptops. Now you can use a laptop to make relevant music while still being able to reach your novelty instrument(really what guitar has been since
the 50s) to still feel like your years of practice still matter. Apple has always been ahead of the trends, its not different now.

Guitar is literally on life support.

Once again it has proven that guitar players cant read

>>70988918
Or if you actually want to play more than one genre. And why wouldn't you be able to play with others if you have a modeling amp? You do know that you can hook it up to speakers or a cabinet, right?

>>70988948
See >>70988945
Amp sims=/=modeling amps

>>70988934

yes I know that works, but I'm wondering will that be worth the investment or should I invest the money into better programs or pedals and shit.

decent mic = $100, decent amp = $500+ so I'm hesitant to pay up if there's a cheaper alternative

>>70988966

This summer I'm traveling through Andalusia so I'm thinking about getting a Flamenco guitar from Cordoba. Preferably from a small workshop.

How fit are you guys in flamenco? I'm practicing it for some time now so can maybe pick up some tips and songs when I'm there.

>>70990728
Only thing i know about flamenco is Phrygian mode

>>70990685
I really enjoy Little Little.

Getting back in to playing and recording. The only things I have are a highly sentimental teisco and a baby Taylor. Considering swapping that out for a drum machine and a some credit towards fixing this little Hasbro bastard.

Is that a complete childish move? The guitar is crazy fucked up but my brother bought it for me.

How do people compose two-note chord melodies, like Bach Bouree for example? Do they spend all day figuring the chords and scale notes for that?

Tried to make this ascending-bass descending-melody chord thing and it took me like 5 minutes. I cant force myself to make 4 bars of that for a song part.

Find one dude! I got it for a little over a grand. Has a big X carved into the back, a gouge out of the fretboard, a nice big line-shaped gouge on the front that was poorly matched in finish, not filled in beforehand. Someones angry ladypal took their butthurt out on it, so I got it cheap as a result. Just gotta be on the lookout. It is nice though, love it lots

>>70991863
Peavey all are high gain metal amps

I'm considering buying a jcm 2204 and was curious as to the consensus of it on here.
And to see if people thought the 2203 model was universally better.

>>70992021
Lol, I remember that. Weren't ya just gonna yank the speakers? Which isn't a bad idea for the price, though they're not great. Shall be replaced at some pt. The cab itself sounds quite nice, though. Gonna have to find something that's rattling at high volume when I open it up, but it sounds great minus that.

>>70991661
I remember learning two part harmony in a theory class a long time ago, and there was definitely a method they taught us (as opposed to guess work). I can't find much online about it though. There might be some stuff with Ted Greene discussing similar ideas.

Sixths and thirds are traditionally the most common harmonies in this kind of thing.

So I've had some bad habits when it comes to learning theory but I am just now beginning to grasp modes. Learning the patterns doesn't seem too bad, but what are some practical exercises I can do with them?

How much lemon oil should I use on my rosewood fretboard? I've coated it 3 times and it's absorbed all of it.

I was gunna go half/half with my bandmate and he was going to take the cab and load up V30s And Greenbacks and I was going to sell the speakers along with the old speakers on my Blue 2x12 to help pay for some V30s. Either way that cab was gunna be used by stoner metalheads

Is there a way to make an electric bass guitar sound like the bass from a drum machine?

>>70992203
The woman and the man shapes should be swapped because it's the woman that has more around her chest and the man's got more between the legs

>>70992203
You could cycle of fourths your 7 shapes here which I always struggle with (and doubt its usefulness in honesty).

Play each mode off of the 3rd string (G) fifth fret (C) to become accustomed to their sounds.

>>70992203
Improvise with each one
Play them in sequences (e.g. 1234, 2345, 3456, etc.)
Learn pieces that use each mode (don't expect much with Locrian)

I want to sell my bass rig for a good combo such as the Rumble 500 2x10 how much would an Acoustic B410 MKII 4x10 bass cab and Ampeg P-500 be worth? Last night I used my guitar amp (Music Man 65w) for a gig and it sounded great with my shitty SX P/J bass, could I just get a 65w bass cab and use my Music Man with it?

>>70992203
if you want to actually understand theory stay the fuck away from modes and learn how to read music on the guitar. I can't understand why most guitarists insist on learning modes outside of sheer laziness

Yup, just have the mindset of buying something at a low price with the intention of reselling it for a profit. I bought my Flying V for $400 with the intention to resell at $600 and a 1970 Mustang I snatched up for $650 with the intention to make a fortune but I've loved both guitars and now they're my live mains(when we get to play professional venues where there's no chance to get stolen and tours and that's when I use my Squier and Epi versions)

Also start off by specializing in a brand you know, luckily for me it was Fender and I've had every guitar except a Coronado pass through me. Reverb's price guides can be helpful in noticing trends also before buying a piece of gear to resell look online to see your competitiors in the used market

>>70992876
