>>71342375
Thanks! Im building a 6x12 to use with the Orange. Just wondering how I should wire it, been thinking one 2x12 and one 4x12 in the same cab. Does anyone know how Emperor (or any of the other builders) wire their 6x12 cabs?

Get one with a rosewood fretboard instead. Fenders pair well with vox amps.

In the article it says a drug store chain offered to buy his lot and he said the musical instrument business has been on the decline for years now so he decided to take the money and retire.

This dude sold everything, guitars & amps, high school band instruments, keyboards & production stuff, drums, etc.

Is the whole industry really shrinking this bad?

>>71342814
It's not necessarily shrinking, but big online retailers and huge chain stores are taking over. And that's nothing new either, it's happening in most other fields or has happened already.

I actually have a cheap amp which I can use as a cabinet. But I'm sick of the same shitty tones so I consider buying focurite (or maybe smth else).

>>71345432
I have a Roland microcube that has a good amount of sounds on it and it's an actual amp.

The focusrite isn't bad, but you are playing on a computer.

>>71345375
Get a harmonica or learn how to play the flute. I had some interesting jazzy jams with a friend of mine who can play the ocarina, we'd loop something with our guitars and one of us would keep to the rhythm while the other solo'd over it with their guitar/flute/ocarina. Flutes sound very good against a dryer guitar sound.

Learn power chords/F shape and all the notes on the E strings and you'll be able to play anything. Your fingers will get "longer" if you learn how to navigate your thumb on the back of the fretboard

This. Look up the mA ratings of your pedals. After you do that, add up the ratings of the ones that you want to chain. I would not recommend chaining off of any of the 100mA outputs, but you could probably power a couple of pedals off of the 500mA output.

>Who /tinnitus/ here?
Me. It doesn't affect any musical creativity or anything, but it definitely puts a limit on how good I can get at mixing

>>71347794
Check the draw of the pedals. If its under 500mA you can do it.
If they are analogue pedals, there's a good chance they draw less than 20mA each. Digital pedals draw more like 100mA each.
I chain all my pedals off of a single 9v 2000mA supply.

Might be a bit of a stupid question, but here goes
So if I were to buy a multi effects pedal how would I go about plugging it into my amp? I assume clean channel with the eq knobs turned to the middle? also for conventional pedals is there any sequence as to how the pedals should be laid out? i.e. should an overdrive be placed before a reverb, should a wah be at the beggining or the end or does it not really matter

>>71348837
Multi-effects pedals are plugged in normally and you can still use the eq on your amp if you want.
With normal pedals, its typically wah>compression>drive>modulation>delay>reverb but you can rearrange things a bit if you like the sound better. Some people put compression later in the chain.
I recommend looking up some youtube videos on the subject though because I'm no expert.

>>71348947

i've been playing guitar for about 3/4 years and i'm alright, but i never really learned how to solo, I just got stuck in a rut playing what i enjoyed and never bothered to practice licks aNd scales.
I'd say i'm pretty physically capable, I can play alot of hendrix/rhcp rhythm stuff with nice chord embellishments etc but i just never progressed to practicing solos and licks because i found it tedious and i get carried away playing smoke on the water (joke calm down lads)

i'd like to start blues/classic rock style solos

What's the best way to pick it up?
learning some solos note for note?

>>71349242
memorize the 5 shapes of the pentatonic scale and learn how to transpose them into different keys

after that you're pretty much 75% the way complete to becoming a guitar hero.
other scales just have you adding a few notes here and there to that basic skeleton shape.

>>71348985
Not everyone has an effects loop dummy

>>71349360
i know the first few shapes, but i can't use them for shit apart from like 1 standard shit lick in each psition

>>71349370
thats guitar playing though. you'll spend the rest of your life trying to find cool licks within those shapes, like every other guitarist who ever lived. its not easy.....

People are still doing these? Alright.
Judge me, /gg/

>>71349360
I assume you can only transition between shapes when on a root note?

>>71349687
dunno what you mean, but the scale/mode you are using will only have 5, 6 or 7 notes. all 5 positions makeup one complete 12 fret section of the shape. root notes help you to position the shape and add closure to a riff etc because you can end on a root note for added drama or something

you need to learn the shape in sections but eventually it should all just be one continuous road map of notes on the fretboard

>>71349425
HOLY SHIT THATS DISGUSTING

>>71344831
Buy a loud amp that you like that has an effects loop, then buy a cheap volume pedal. When it's late plug the volume pedal in the effects loop and turn low as shit, then turn the amp to a volume where you still get the tone of the amp but at a significantly lower output

>>71349395
Ace Frehley had already 100%d that quest at age 23

>>71349838
jus a suggestion, but i have a zoom g3 multi fx pedal, with a decent pair of headphones and i can't see how anybody would be disappointing with that practice tone.
Some pretty decent amp simulations, certainly more than enough for practicing with neighbors.

you can have upto 6 effects, or 5 effects + amp sim. Well worth the money

DOes using a SoundHole pickup affects the acoustic's resonance or volume?

>>71348285
Can someone template this for me?

>>71349838
That doesnt work dude.
The thing that turning "volume" up does to the tone is the poweramp's saturation. The FX loop is between the preamp and poweramp, putting a volume pedal in there is like decreasing the amp's volume.

I agree. I've only played a few guitars but I haven't been able to match my MIM Strat.

I played a custom stock PRS and I didn't like it as much as my Strat which surprised me.

That green pedal's the Slicer, right? How versatile would you say it is, or just the overall usability of it? It looks so nifty but I'm worried that it'll just be an impractical addition used once or twice to do "the Slicer thing".

>>71345079
One of those HH musicman basses or their sterling model. I'd like to try a neck through model even if they are out of my price range for the moment. ~£2200 for one seems too expensive but I'd have to try one before condeming it.

It's fun but you've got to use MIDI clock with it so it syncs with the delay times, otherwise everything goes at different tempo and it all goes to shit. Not the most useful or versatile pedal but it's just loads of fun. Good on synths too, get everything running at the same tempo and it just goes CHUGGA-DUGGA-DUGGA-WUGGA for hours.. Which is never a bad thing.

How do the schaller 3d bridges compare to the hipshot bridges?

Learn to sing?

But no, seriously; improve it how? Mixing is about getting a certain sound, so you have to have a final product in mind. Asking "how do I make this better" is kind of pointless unless we know where you want to take it.

If you want a radio music sound, for example (as in, it will sound good on an AM/FM radio), cut that bass just a little bit and raise the mids.

Fucking goddammit, /gg/.

I got this new guitar that's getting a pickup upgrade soon, and while I'm at it I'd like to change the control pattern because the volume gets in the way of my hand so I end up turning it down when I palm mute.

What I want to do is simple, go from (left to right) Tone-Switch-Volume to Tone-Volume-Switch but the pots and the switch have different size holes.
This was not a $150 guitar so I don't want to go through the trouble of modifying the wood and having to paint it all over again, so is there a way around that?

Help a nigga.

>>71356324
just make the hole bigger dumbass

>>71356344
And how do I make the hole smaller for the pot that should go where the switch is, retard?

>>71356365

Guys, I'm done playing. I can play all these awesome licks and songs, but everything I record sounds like shit. If I can't make good recordings then there is no point in continuing

>>71356385
Not him but since it would be the volume, would a simple washer hold the pot in place if you're gonna be rolling it a lot?

I guess don't worry about recording, then. I've had an extremely minor career as a performing musician, but it doesn't make me as happy as playing guitar with my brother, who is a drummer (and not very good). 2-man thing playing covers. But it makes me happy in the moment to play music with him. Make any sense?

1x10 vs 1x12 which is better for practice bass amp?

Lots of ways to be creative in the music industry. I've never been very good at songwriting. But I have learned to enjoy other people's talent for making songs, and then making part of it my own.

If making the song all on your own is what you're after, I guess just keep trying. Like a lot of things in life, you might not get it until you get it. And then you get it...and it's that much better. The root of joy is suffering to get it.

Not trying to be overly sappy. I just know that music can be very frustrating and very rewarding at the same time.

>>71356986
T-40 and Stingray...So nice. The Peaveys are way underappreciated guitars and basses. I've a T-60. I can do single coil strat stuff or les paul stuff, depending on settings. I had one tuned a full step sharp (F#) for a while. Now it's tuned to C Standard. So versatile.

They are both the same exact scale shape. Only the root notes change. And instead of saying Aeolian mode, just say minor scale and be less of a faggot. "Favorite mode" is a retarded question anyway.
