My best advice, use a tuner.

Strat

>>71197117
tuners are actually incorrect, it is better to tune to your ear

this is because, although it is correct that every octave has the exact same steps, the higher you get it just starts to sound out of tune.

so to actually be in tune, you have to be slightly out of tune

>>71197171
Those fingernails are disgusting.
What he's explaining is basically that tempered tuning is a meme, so basically the third of the G major scale and the second of the A major scale aren't the exact same notes. This has nothing to do with "the higher you get" but rather with you playing in a particular key.
Essentially, your frets would have to have the correct alignment, and you would only be allowed to play on one string at a time depending on the key you're in (so if you're in A, you can only play on that string). If you play on the D string but your scale is in E, the notes will be that liiiittle bit off. This differs from wrong intonation however, in that the offset produced by wrong intonation will increase the higher up the fretboard you go, but the offset (measured in cents) introduced by the fact that E != E will be the same in the 2nd and 14th fret.

That looks pretty retarded. The change in timbre isn't that great and it looks much less versatile than using your fingers or a pick. Looks like it was made for newbies.

Its a new product coming out from Kemper, it profiles the vibrations of the string and the tone woods.

>>71198634

Turn off bass completely, middle pointing to west and treble pointing to east. Natural overdrive.

so guys, when you're playing guitar and are in a band setting (i.e. have a drummer, bass player, keys, and singer), are you actively keeping time in your head? Because I've found that when I'm playing with others I just feel the beat and can anticipate the changes coming along so therefore I don't count. Is it a bad habit?

>>71198737
I simply must have one

how do i change scales when improvising..

how do i move around the neck?

like.. what's the theory about moving from one scale to another?
is it just the chord progression?
so if the chord progression was G -> A -> C i could do a C G or A scale improv?
all i do is fuck around in one scale and it gets boring fast

>>71198774
Try to play fewer notes, but make the ones you do play count. As in, try to find simple, short licks of like 3 notes that will fit the chord change, then string them together into a melody. Start simple, add complexity as you go along. Some notes that are technically out of key might sound good in context. Being able to come up with melodies that incorporate those makes a good musician.

Mustang.

>>71198774
instead of moving around the neck, try practicing arpeggios and scales in one position. come up with your own exercises for that, like run up an Amajor scale and then once you get to the last note that you can reach in that position, run down a B major scale or something.

it's not easy getting used to switching around like this, but you'll get there eventually. just start small and focus on chord tones

real musicians have the ez fret, why are you even "playing" without it?

You can't get that sound with your finger tips dude...It's essentially like using mallets on a hammered dulcimer or something like that.

>>71199506
It's just another tool, like an ebow or a capo..It's not like you have to alter the guitar permanently

>>71199557
soldering will probably make too much of a mess

My band is covering Feel by Ty Segall as our encore and I've got the first solo, it's all improvised because it's an easy 3 chord jam to use as a filler. the couple times we've played it I've just been stuck soloing between the keys of B and D or on the 7th through 12th fret for you new friends. Is there any sort of techniques I can do that can help me transition to other keys? At home I have the backing track looped (bass and guitar) but whenever I switch keys they sound forced, out of place and inorganic.

Guys, recommend me the best solid state amp for a versatile musician. Multi-channel, Fx loop, reverb(optional). I am looking for an amp that can play the cleanest rock, but that has enough gain to play some ball busting metal. Budget under $1000.

>>71197171
Tuner's aren't "incorrect," they're just approximate. The video you posted doesn't say "don't use a tuner," it explicitly say to use one, BUT make microtonal adjustments from there using your ear.

>the higher you get it just starts to sound out of tune.
Are you referring to the Pythagorean tuning approach the video talks about? Because that's something very different than anything related to modern guitar intonation. There's really nothing else in that video that reflects what you're saying here.

I guess you're better than someone who simply believes a tuner is 100% correct, but holy shit you've got some misinformation bouncing around in your head.

I'm not an expert at all, but you should look up alzapua, a neat technique. I should have worded "meat and potatoes" a bit better, what I meant was that I would have liked a bit more of the "rythm" flamenco, just to make your cool lead stuff mix together.

Some people/styles prefer clean sounds that you can really only get from solid state amps, particularly for jazz guitar, acoustic, pedal steel. It's not that uncommon, just unexpected for rock/distortion-oriented guitarists who think tubes are objectively greater in every way.

>>71202927
My GT-100 can do this. Whenever I use the effect when other people are around they get super mad because I'm not using a stereotypical classic rock OD sound or a boring, neutral, flat clean sound. You can combine it with a lot of effects, it's pretty fun to play with this. I wouldn't use it on recordings though, it sounds really tacky. I hate when I hear a song and can tell which guitar pedal has been used, I always have this problem when I listen to Buckethead.

what is the tuning?

>>71202958
Sound-wise that's pretty subjective, and that's exactly my point. Technically speaking, solid state amps ARE cleaner, in that they aren't doing as much to the signal. Even clean tube sounds are coloring and compressing the signal very subtly. Some people like it, others don't.

>>71200386
This. They are perfect

So I am finally getting into clean sounds now, after years of overdriven / distorted guitars in rock and metal. What are your favorite undistorted guitar sounds? Allowed: modulation effects (chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo), filters and time-based effects (delay, reverb).

>>71203682
modulation delay (similar to delay+chorus, but much better). it's what johnny marr uses

How hard are guitars to play at a decent level (can play multiple simple songs without fucking up) compared to the piano? Keyfags always keep talking about how their instrument is the very hardest. meanwhile almost every musician, be it drummer, singer, bassist or anything else, can play the piano decently.

>>71204285
why? the only way you can impact the sound of the an actual piano is dynamics and pedals. of course this does not apply to synthesizers or all keyboards in general. still, there is much less things to keep in mind than on most instruments. every note only exists once so playing sheet music is just following instructions while on many other instruments you have many different possibilities to play the same thing and you need to actually find the one that works best for yourself. the hardest thing for a beginner is probably getting a feeling for which finger to use for which key.
playing a piano is basically like pic related. there really isn't much room for personal style apart from _what_ you play..

go look up the tab/youtube tutorials

keep doing this until recurring chord patterns and shapes start to stick in your mind

you can now play guitar

focus on playing songs correctly before worrying about timing

anyone have experience with ibanez gio models? I realise they're more budget oriented but for an intermediate to advanced player would they be a good choice? I currently still have a guitar I got from a startet pack that on it's own would've probably cost about 100-120 euros, it's pretty good regardless but I would like to have a guitar with more features and that's better built
currently have my sights on an ibanez grg250dx, I just think it looks the shit (subjective I know) but it has a lot of features on it, H/S/H pickup set up, 24 frets and a whammy bar, costs about 300euros
Should I just avoid the entire gio range, suck it up and fork over 400+euros for a really good guitar

yeah, and I'd say way over

>>71204955
well I don't really have a steady job, I'm still at uni so yeah, 400 euros is quite a lot of money for me, especially since I play the guitar more for recreation rather than anything else, but I guess I'll have to clock in those extra hours to get a good guitar

>>71204900
honestly, don't get a GIO. they're poorly built and shit.

>>71204900
basically the less you pay the more dissapointment you get

if you have a starter guitar the next step on your guitar buying journey should be something that is actually comfortable to play
because your starter guitar is not how a guitar should feel
neither is that ibanez probably

you don't need 24 frets
you don't need special pickups

you need a guitar that feels good to play.

and maybe they start at around 500 euros

do yourself a favour and do not buy a budget guitar

>>71205007
>>71205045
damnit boys, talk me out of it, I just fell in love with the color scheme of >>71204900, snap me out of it so I don't waste my money on it

>>71205099
Go ahead and buy it.

>>71205006

I'd say save up 600+ for an intermediate guitar at least. The nicer it is the more you will want to play it, anything 400 or less is crap because the finishing touches and quality control will be as rough as fuck and it will be a pain in the ass to use over time. Even if its only for recreation you might as well treat yourself a little bit since its something you enjoy.

>>71205099
OK, let me tell you of my personal experience. I had an Ibanez RG420EG and it was terrible. Just a shit job of a guitar. I too thought it was cool as shit and coudlnt be talked out of it, and goddamn I was unhappy with it. I didnt play for a year, I couldnt be fucked playing on it. A year later I sold it and got a different, much better guitar, and I am happy as hell, playing all the time. The problems with the guitar? Terrible tremolo, it went out of tune all the time, it was a bitch to tune and change strings, the pickups sounded muddy as shit, and it just wanst that comfortable to play. I regretted so much not buying something else and better.

A friend of mine had an Ibanez GIO, it was a piece of shit as well. Couldnt stay in tune, the sound was atrocious, frets were bad.. it was just a shit guitar. I imagine most of budget GIO guitars would be in the same league. I know you think it looks cool and all, but you will be disappointed, and you will regret it. The worst case scenario is that you'll get fed up with guitar and stop playing completely. You're a student, you can't fuck around with money, so make this purchase count! Save if you must, but get a better guitar. You will thank me and the other anon.

If it only happened once because you were thinking about knights and knaves because you're a historian or have a medievel fetish, that's fine, but I see Americans mix these up ALL THE FUCKING TIME and it's seriously bothering me. Maybe it's because you pronounce ei and ie the same, so you stop paying attention and just write it whichever way. It tickles my autism.

There are a lot of snobby music shops here who only grudgingly stock electric guitars and will totally look down their nose at you if you actually buy one, since you are not their target market of little lord faulteroy and his french horn lessons

>nothing but contempt for electric guitars.

Every real musician feels this way.

I play whatever I feel like. But I'd be taking it to a cottage to noodle around. I wouldn't take anything expensive there in the first place.

They probably don't want their dignified music shop turning into Guitar Center.

And Pacificas are fine guitars.

If you want to lug around a heavy expensive tube bass amp to gigs and you play some kind of rock then tubes for sure. But a ss and a good preamp di will get you very close without breaking the bank or your back. Also most tube bass amps are too powerful to get "the sound" outside of stadiums and outdoor stuff
