>>71151733
So by your logic it'd be a strat and a charvel right?

Hey /gg/, what have you been playing/practicing lately? Go to clyp or vocaroo and record something, any skill level is fine. We should play guitar more often in the guitar thread.

Looking to restring my first electric guitar

It's an ibanez gax 30 if that makes a difference.

What strings should I get? Mainly looking to play blues and rock/metal.

>>71152395
If you break strings a lot, get 10s or 11s. If you bend them a lot and don't want to strain your fingers, get 9s. Play those for a while until you can figure out if you want to go up or down in gauge on any string. Personally, I like having light (but not too light) strings up top for bending (10-13-17) and relatively heavy strings in the bottom so chugga-chugga sounds nicer and I can hit chords harder.
No idea about material (other than don't use nylon on an electric, duh) and different winding techniques.

>>71152459
Thanks mate.
I haven't broken a string yet I'm just a beginner but the strings on the guitar were a few years old when I got it.

>>71152459
I'm looking at these ernie ball slinkys-

They both say 9 but 9-42 and 9-46
The 9-46 is just heavier/thicker on the lower sttrings?

Just found me a pair of free 12 string acoustics and am in the process of cleaning and polishing them up.

One is a Legend brand and the other is unmarked. I don't think they're anything special because the machine heads are pretty basic. I reckon they're about 10-15 years old, maybe more.

Desperately need some fretboard oil.

Ausfags. When do you think shops will start stocking these bad boys?

>>71152516
Yes, in general it lists the thickness of the highest string and the lowest string. Those are a good start. Choose one (doesn't really matter which) and stick to it for a while.
I suggest trying to get like packs of 3 or 10 sets on ebay, that comes out cheaper than buying individual ones. If you notice them going out of tune a lot, intonation going bad (i.e. when you play a flageolet tone at the 12th fret, the note is sharp or flat compared to properly fretting it there) or them sounding like shit, change them.
Have fun!

Took me almost an hour to make a recording I was satisfied with.

Scales

E Pro by Beck is E minor for example. The first note is E. Doesn't have to start with the first note of the scale though.

Pentatonic you have less notes that give your a more rock sound. I like to make riffs with the major or minor scale.

Mess around with a few notes and make a repetitive phrase that sounds good to you. Maybe add a variation on the third or fourth bar.

I've always been against Les Pauls. Theyve always semed like the stock standard, vanilla, cheeseburger and french fries way of doing things.

But I realized I had this mindset and had never even tried one. So the other week, I went to the big city to one of those big guitar stores that have like couple thousand dollar LPs just sitting out on the floor. Here we are lucky to see $500 BC Rich's hanging on the wall. I do all my shopping online for that reason.

Anyway,. I tried this thing. And then a real Gibson. And then another and another.

I can't believe it but it's completely changed my perspective. I was able to try a bunch of different guitars as well and I couldn't find one that came close to suiting me. I bought this one. I just couldn't afforda real gibson, but damn this thing is amazing.

I was an ESP man, and I still am, but now just love LPs too.

>>71154090
Nothing beats a Les Paul for those creamy melancholic lead tones. Body is too small for me though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTVnCyDoQlQ

>>71154090
Epiphone has really stepped their game up. The biggest issue they tend to have is rough but still playable fretwork. I had a mid 2000s g400 and i couldnt intonate the high e, it wouldnt stay in tune, sounded pretty meh. I tried a 2016 g400 and it blew my mind, i bought it. It cost me $80 less than the 2006 or 7 one did.

Im honestly very surprised. Thinking about putting some gibson dirty fingers in and some gibson tuners, just cause i like tinkering, its fine now.

So I'm in the market for a new guitar and I'm looking for a few things
>24 frets
>whammy bar
>H/S/H pickup set up
>less than 400 euros
An Ibanez caught my eye, mostly due to it's finish but I read a few reviews and people seem quite pleased with it, it's about 350 euros so well within my budget, but fi anyone knows of an alternative I'd be grateful
anyone have experience with middle of the road priced Ibanez guitars? All I have now is a copy of an SG I got with my starter pack and while it's great for the amount I paid for it, I feel like I need a better guitar with more features

I am tossing up between an Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro and the Gibson Tribute coming out this year.

The Epi is only about $900 but the Gibson is $1470. I've always liked the white custom but the real Gibson version is like $6k. The new tribute in honeyburst looks pretty sweet. Not sure if it's really worth another $600 pretty much.

Any thoughts or experiences of either instrument? Cheers.

(Prices are in Australian dollar)

Plus you can get them in fluro red and yellow.

Really quite good. At super high levels of attenuation (like bringing a cranked 50W amp to quieter than the TV levels) you lose some high end, but to some degree that can be EQ'd out.

What they're really good for is allowing you to crank a 30W+ amp and get the volume to a somewhat reasonable level where you're still moving some air, but not leveling your house. I can get some nice power amp distortion and power section sag from my Traynor at a pretty decent volume where I don't need to wear earplugs.

All in all they're a good tool to have, and paired with a master volume, you can totally use a big loud amp in an apartment, just don't expect it to sound like it does at rehearsal. It'll sound good and be usable, though, for sure

>>71157889
You don't get both unless you find someone who has no customer base

>>71157889
sometimes you can find builders on reverb.com by searching for clones. i.e muff clone. If it's a well enough known pedal there's probably someone cloning it.

If a pedal near the beginning of my chain has stereo output do I connect that to the next pedal in the chain with a stereo in? Or will that ignore the effects in between?
Sorry for the dumb question, I would try it if I were home

Doom LARP still gets me lol. I just want actual people to jam with so that it doesn't need to be LARPing

A related question for you doom/stoner rock interested anons: Does it seem as though doom and stoner rock are almost disgustingly hip at the moment? I am seeing a lot of (dare I say it?) hipster looking folk fawning over various doom-y type bands at the moment, acting as though this is some sort of new amazing metal subgenre that they're underground enough to have stumbled upon. Whereas when I got into that kinda stuff like a decade ago no one gave a shit but regular ol' metalhead type people, no one was into it because it was fashionable. Not that there's a problem I guess, as it's good music and all. No problem except for cool old gear that no one wanted a few years back now being hot ticket shit, like old Sovtek/Traynor/non-Model T Sunn/ heads, weird 70's/80's HH guitars like Al-necked Kramers, etc.

Anyway, it seems like just in the last year or two it's really gotten big.

>>71158506
Most stereo pedals are designed to work in mono if only one input or output (usually the left) is connected

>>71158579
Sorry, I'm trying to run them in stereo, but one at the beginning and the very end of the chain have stereo in/out. Is it okay to connect one to the other, or will that bypass all the other effects?

>>71158625
ok, tell me about your rig, what's the pedal and do you have a stereo power amp? if you don't have a stereo power amp then you're never going to get stereo no matter how you connect it up

>>71158652
run everything in mono until the last pedal and that will run in stereo. you can't run a stereo pedal into a mono pedal and expect to get stereo out halfway down the chain of pedals

>>71158684

Newbie, please help.

Unscrewed this to remove pickguard plastic and now screwing it down only raises the pickup.

hahahahahahahahahaaaaahahahahahahaa

good trolling, I give that 4 out of 10

>>71158822
If you're not trolling: That screw doesn't hold the pickguard on, it is a pickup height adjustment screw. You turn it to lower or raise the pickup. The screws along the outside of the pickguard are used to hold it on.

>>71158904
It's the only one I touched. If I screw it to loosen the pickup, it's too loose and falls out. Wtf did I do

>>71158775

And that doesn't look that cool, what's the model?

>>71158822

I understand raising and lowering, my problem is no matter how high or low the pickup goes, the screws wont stay in place.

slap a Boss DD-3 or some other digital delay on that shit

EHX Soul Food to bring out a more cleaned up clarity to that fuzzy sound from the Swollen Pickle, i don't know if would boost your mids though the Soul Food is really high treble sound to it, so a good EQ pedal should be on the top of your list to dial in any tone your heart can desire

Bruv

I'm not gonna lie, I love baroque but your tune sounds like lenny kravitz playing a prince cover of a Bach piece.

My advice to you is to play very slowly and articulate your notes for practice. Let your bass ring for longer. Only play fast runs if you can actually play fast runs. Do you know what vibrato is ?

In conclusion: hang yourself my friend

So, I'm a beginner, my friend gave me his ibanez gio and I played it for more than a month and the strings go out of tune after few minutes of playing.
Which ones do I get? Are Ernie Ball any good? What caliber do I need? (I play in standart tuning). I DID research but I'm still hesitant, I've chosen Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 10-46, is this okay?

I think the new american professional series is pretty awesome, much better than everything else at that price point I tried
I own an older mexican and I still think it's one of the bertter strats I played no matter the price, but I played a couple of these american pros at a store recently and holy shit, at least for my hands they feel extremely nice, all the changes in the hardware, neck and whatnot are on point and it the pickups are damn great. I really consider getting one because I have the feeling they tried to overcome all the vintage relic authentic whatever bullshit and made a proper and refined modern guitar with that series for once

Look at what happens when people post off topic

>>71163200

he said start with electric you goon.

>>71163511
that's my point

starting out with an acoustic as opposed to an electric is fucking retarded

>>71163003
look up
Fulltone Mini Deja Vibe
MXR UniVibe
EarthQuaker The Depths
Electro-Harmonix Good Vibes Modulator
Moen Shaky Jimi Vibe Pedal
DryBell Vibe Machine

Fulltone is the best one of the bunch

I fathered all the kids. Yes, 2 of 3 play guitars. My 3 year old is probably better than you. The other is 6 weeks old. Probably also better than you.
>>71163736
I'm 33. Been with wife since '99. Lived together since '04. Not everyone on here is a neet.

>>71163844
She doesn't need to. Also she's raising the kids. Life is good at the moment.
