So my friend is buying his first guitar and amp and since he doesn't really know much he's asked me for advice, we've found a guitar he likes but he can't really decide what amp he should go for. he doesn't want to spend too much money, about 250 euro for the amp alone, so I found 2 amps that should be great for him, one is the marshall code 25 and the other is the boss katana 50, I'll briefly go over the pros and cons, both are digital modeling amps and priced around about the same
>Marshall pros
has a dedicated footswitch (sold seperately though)
has more modelling options
>cons
in the event he gets in a band he'll never be loud enough for a drummer, so he'll have to buy a cab or a completely new amp
>Boss pros
>ever so slightly cheaper
>louder, will keep up with a drummer no problem
>cons
only compatible footswitch is some garbage with just one button
he seems to be leaning towards the marshall and I do think that's the better choice for a begginer amp, but I'm open to second opinions

how do i meet people who like the same things i like to jam with. i just moved to san fernando valley in northridge and all my jamming friends back home at 450 miles away also im not good

>>71598604
the marshall needs to be upgraded to even sound like a decent bedroom amp. the stock speaker is so unbelievably shit it's sad. Out of those two, the Boss easily.

Although if I had to buy any amp like that, it's Yamaha THR or nothing

>>71598609
there are apps for that man, or try /soc/. alternatively, if you somehow are a normie on 4chan, you could try attending open mic nights, teaching a new friend you make here, or posting a "please don't rape/rob me" ad on craigslist

>>71598604
1) if he's beginner he won't need all the bells and whistles. 2) It'll take a bit before he can jam with anyone anyways. IMO either one will be okay, taking in both those considerations.

>>71598604
Fender Mustangs are solid modeling amps as well

>>71598609
>>71598657
My question is, when is someone skilled enough to be ready to jam? I'd love to but I've only been playing since November so I fear no one would want to practice with someone who's garbage.

"See Samuel Campos playing live with his band"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV7OIs-4i6c

Audience didnt like this song as much but he did two cool solos on it, quoting "dazed and confused" a bit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLJOYgo584c

Fun fact.
Later that night he was at a hospital due to alcohol overdose after drinking all the doubles avaliable that night

>>71598609
mfw you're close enough to me where i easily could jam but i won't because lol @ meeting up w/ people on line

>>71598604
>>71598634
read a few reviews and none of them mentioned that the speaker is shit so don't know where you got that from, unless you actually own one
>>71598662
I know he doesn't need all the fancy effects and shit, but it's nice to have once he really gets into it, no use buying a crappy amp for 100euros and tossing it in the trash after a few months to buy something he should've bought in the first place (I did that)
the odds of him even jamming with anyone besides me, let alone a full band is slim but still something to consider
>>71598697
we took the Mustang II V2 into consideration aswell but he said he liked the other two more

>>71598858
>euros
dropped

>>71598858
I did own one for about a week. I put an Eminence in it and it sounded way better, but I didn't buy a practice amp to mod. The Yamaha still sounds better than both though, which is why I ditched the marshall

>>71598750

I keep seeing his videos that are suggested. He looks like the most infomercial kind of guitar teacher if I ever saw one.

But I must say, from what I've heard, he's adept at shredding. So what gives? Is he a hack?

If I play metal would a fender strat be a bad choice?

It works for iron maiden...

>>71600053
They use single coil sized humbuckers. Yngwie plays a strat with single coils and makes it sound pretty metal, so there's that.

anon with the lpj, can you please post it? im thinking of getting a cheap epi like yours and modding it. its so incredibly aesthetic with that emg in there. my one complaint is the bolt on neck. do you think an emg would do swedish death metal like entombed?
>>71600053
yeah buddy. what type of metal in particular? bridge singles sound great for black metal and some other swedish death metal band uses a neck single coil into an hm-2 into a jcm800. also, jon levasseur of cryptopsy uses a fat strat. so yeah, it should do it.

>>71600180
>Yngwie plays a strat with single coils
>single coils
no he doesn't stupid

>>71600053
I have the brand new Orange Rocker 15C and a kotzen strat. One (1) Immerse reverb for the clean and thats it.

I mainly play iron maiden and that was the tone I looked for.
Do what you want with that.

anybody here have any experience with those Hotone micro amp?

i'm considering a micro head just for fucking around in my bedroom, those Hotone look interesting, and that Peavey 6505 also got me interested. I was looking at that zvex nano but $520 that's one expensive little fucker.

What corrections would you make to these tabs for True Love Waits?

Any thoughts?

lol say what you will about PRS, at least the guitars are consistently well-made. Even the Korean SEs are probably more consistent than US Gibsons. See https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/example-of-poor-qc-from-gibson-pic.1806313/

>>71600512
Never mind, I found the tab in the big tab torrent. Is there any way to get the lyrics to appear on the sheet music in guitar pro 6?

>>71600595
Not keen

What's the best way to make my attack quieter? I'm trying to record some quiet post rock stuff, and whenever I play lightly the strumming sound totally drowns out the actual notes. When I turn the volume up more it gets to the point where it's no longer quiet, which defeats the purpose. I also sometimes try to do harmonic or muted strumming for a percussive effect (think early U2) and it's extremely loud compared to the rest of what I'm playing.

I imagine a compressor would help but I'd prefer not to have to drop a hunnit on one.

>>71600609

Use it as a boost to tighten up your tone.

>>71600581
But Gibshit is pretty much known to have custom barely above the quality of Chinese no name guitars.
See every blind test ever including Gibshit customs.

>>71600584
do you not like the TS9 by itself or do you not like it and all of its clones?
If it's the first, get a Maxon OD 808 (just a better TS9 clone)
If it's the second, I personally like the Horizon Devices Precision Drive

>>71599410
Reverse your recording, learn to play this, then record and reverse that.

>>71600584

I always laugh when I see some dumb shit buy a cheap guitar and immediately start "upgrading" it. They usually start by asking for replacement pickup suggestions. It's like why, you dumb fuck? Why did you buy a guitar you didn't think sounded good to begin with? I'll tell you why: because you don't know what the fuck you're doing and you have no clue what the fuck you're after. You bought some retarded piece of shit because of how it looked in a picture on the internet and then when you got it home and actually played it ..it sounded and played like straight up ass. So you started "upgrading" it instead of admitting to yourself that you don't know shit and made a mistake, or that the guitars construction was so shitty that you didn't have any other choice but to "upgrade" it to make it a playable instrument. Here's the thing though: you could have just saved all the time and money you sank/wasted into "upgrading" a piece of shit and just bought a decent guitar to begin with. You bedroom warriors are a hilarious lot, watching you flail about trying to polish turds into diamonds. If a diamond is what you wanted why didn't you just go out and buy a diamond to begin with?

Because you're fucking stupid, that's why.

It has a bit more extras than just those two. The actually decent clean channel and the fact you can get good saturation at bedroom levels is pretty neat. Plus the midi I/O, 500mA power supply, and mic sim DI (which sounds like shit, but still)

It's got a lot of good extra shit

I am going to buy an American Professional Jazzmaster in Mystic Seafoam. Tell me why I'm dumb.

>>71601721
im not him but you can tell by the truss rod hole, it is made of plastic. American ones it is made of a darker wood, Asian ones typically do not have anything adorning the hole at all. mexican ones are plastic.

>>71601721

Because the "Standard Stratocaster" is made in Mexico. If it were an American Standard it would be called such.

>>71601749
>Jazzmaster

>>71601749
20 years ago people only bought jazzmasters because they were cheap and fender was trying to sell backstock, now they are as expensive or more expensive than strats and telecasters

>>71601749

I think there are some nice things about the new Jazzmasters (namely no rhythm circuit and Mustang bridge) but you might consider a used AVRI or Thin Skin. Here's a '62 reissue on Reverb with a Mastery Bridge. I have a '62 Thin Skin with a Mastery and I like it a lot

https://reverb.com/item/4595248-avri-62-fender-jazzmaster

>>71601721
apart from what the others have said, it has 21 frets, american standards have 22.

>>71601827

There are even cheaper ones too:

>>71601293
>>71601293
What if I play both?

>>71601749
Mystic seafoam is gay, at least get that sick military green on black or be a man and get the classic sunburst

>>71601879

Doesn't matter, just OWNING a 24" scale guitar is enough.

>>71601779
>>71601781
This is the best you guys could come up with?

>>71601827
Looks interesting. That bridge is wacky though, how do you intonate that right?

>>71601872
>>71601827

What's the advantage of these over the Professional? The circuit is a minus for me. I don't really want the rollers and shit. I have that on one of my basses and it's just annoying and I never use it. One of the reasons why I'm looking at the professional.

Unless the necks are way nicer or something, I'm still leaning towards the pro.

>>71601895
The jazzmaster doesn't come in olive green, but I want it lol.

>>71601926

Yeah the intonation seems like it'd be a problem but it isn't, at least on my Jazzmaster.

I think the benefits of the AVRIs are the nitro finishes and bound necks/witch hat knobs on the 65s. I never use the rhythm circuit but it's true bypassed so if you never touch it it doesn't affect anything. Plus the colors are different so that's something to consider.

>>71600493

Someone can't afford a PRS.

>>71601926

Oh and another difference is maple vs rosewood fretboards.

I always laugh when I see some dumb 19 year old buying a guitar. It's like why, you dumb fuck? Why waste your time and money? You don't know guitar based music is deader than horse shit? What the fuck do you think's going to happen? Why do you think everybody in their late 20s and early 30s stops playing in bands? Go take a look at the lineups of all the popular music festivals these days. What's the average age of most of those bands? Why do you think that is? I'll tell you why: because being poor as shit is only fun when you're a stupid ass kid. Just as soon as your peer group moves on to adult pursuits you look fucking retarded playing the "cool kid who plays in a band". Trust me, when all your family and friends have stable jobs, kids, and nice houses your "artistic poverty" playing shitshows out of an old dilapidated rust covered van won't measure up anymore. It's like.. think about what your doing, you dumb little shit. What are you trying to achieve? Do you really think you'll be one of the lucky few who'll wins the lottery and has a successful career in music? I mean, really? Do you really think you're talented and smart enough to succeed in the music industry? Are you fucking stupid?

And don't give me all that "I do it for myself" bullshit either. lol, no fuck you don't. You're doing it in the hopes that one day it'll garner you some peer recognition, you're hoping it'll help you climb up socially one day. You do it because you're a fucking loser who wants to desperately escape the societal pecking order you feel has marginalized you. Name a famous guitarist who started off wealthy. Oh, you can't? That's who you think you are, loser. You want that same success and you know it. Only problem with your plan is noone cares because guitar music doesn't matter anymore

Go to school, get a real job, and stop wasting your time trying to score "cool points" with other impressionable moron kids like you. You ain't gonna make it, you fucking idiot

Get a fucking clue

Hey guys, I'm a bass player trying to upgrade to a new amp. I've been playing for around 2 years. This is the current one that I have, not that special

https://www.kustom.com/index.php/bass-amps/kxb10.html

Looking for something medium sized, something louder. I always find myself getting drowned out from a full band (vocals, 2 guitars and drums)

Budget is around $400.

Mixolydian sounds pretty cool if you play it over a minor 7 chord. The major third brings a bright outside-sounding note to your licks while the flat seventh keeps your phrasing closer to the minor sound of the chord. Greg Howe does this a lot.

hey guys, ive been using fender super bullets on a fender jag making shoegaze and tremelo strumming, my hi-e string just broke for the first time after like 1 1/2 months, is there anything else i can do to avoid string popping when tremelo strumming? the bullets were really nice, my strings would only slightly detune up after tremelo use (at least i think so unless bends and hard strumming impact it as well)

thanks f am

Hey, can anyone on here help me identify what model jazzmaster the guitarist is using in this video?

also i know strings should last longer, i used to use ddarrio before and the stocks strings when i first got the jack about a year ago

I only just realized that the last 4 songs i wrote have nearly the exact same strumming pattern. I feel like a total idiot.

>>71606709
If your songs are based on simple chord progressions and strumming patterns then I wouldn't worry at all about variance or originality

>>71600665
Low tunings, invert chords, make tritones. Make as much dissonance as possible, but arpeggiate the strings instead of strumming it all at once. Look at the intro to Black Sabbath, that will teach you the importance of tritones.

>>71606772
That seems meaner that it had to be.

>>71606772
They're not that simple really. I just strum/arpeggiate in similar ways every time.

Lowest note, strum, arpeggiate from the highest note back down to the lowest. Or if I strum it's always down down up up down.

It just feels and sounds so right.

second picture was easy, only one of them had the pickguard that custom gibbos come with, first image was a little harder but 1 and 5 is clearly rosewood and if theyre customs gibson would normally use ebony or richlite.

Y'know if the epiphone headstock wasn't so fuck ugly I don't think I'd even consider buying gibson.

On that guitar it looks like you only have to unsolder the pickups from the pots. Everything else will come out as one piece. Easy but that's just more stuff you need to buy and learn to use.

Is a useful skill to have though.

I like to bend my neck on my guitar to do like an opposite whammy-type sound (it gets sharper), however on my primary guitar (which is an old Crate) when I do this there is a creaking sound.

How about using a floating trem instead?

I know jack shit about guitar even though I've played most of my life, can you tell me what that is?

It's a tremolo arm that you can not only push down to lower the pitch of the strings, but pull up on to raise the pitch.

Common floating tremolos are the Floyd Rose, Ibanez Edge, and Kahler.

I think a standard tremolo system can also be adjusted to have a little upward pitch bending leeway as well.
