i put some effects on my guitar to make it sound like a distorted 60s organ
any ideas how i can make it any more realistic?
dont want to use midi

>>71611496
I'm really not sure apart from getting yourself one of these senpai.

>>71611604
i like the pedal but i think it sounds nothing like an organ. the problem is that i am really poor and use a gt100 for all my effects. thanks for the recommendation though.

My OCD stemmed from not wanting a plain colored guitar so I rented a Squier surf strat in Sonic Blue for a demo when I was 14, later when I was 16 I found that same model in Surf green and used my money I had saved and bought it. After that I bought a Super Champ in black in early 2015 which coincidentally Fender released 3 FSR Super Champs in Surf Green, Wine Red and Sonic Blue. I returned the black SC and bought the Sonic Blue. I then joined a band playing bass and needed a cab so I went down to guitar center and bought and acoustic 4x10 with the blue stripes and used the blue super champ as a head. After playing a few live gigs I liked how my Amps matched witch led to liking my guitars matching my Amps too.

Tldr; I match Amps and if I can guitars because I like that it looks "connected" and feels like everything fits

I just bought an Epiphone Dot and thought that a spare gig bag I had would be big enough. Well, it's not and now I'm looking for a soft case for it (just for traveling with it).

Any recommendations for gig bags for this thing?

>>71614700
acoustic gig bag?

>>71614621
It's a tele someone took a saw to.

>>71614700
Why a gig bag and not a hard shell? Just the price/weight?

>>71614819
Yeah, I was considering it. I was wondering if there was anything that was designed for the body thickness of a semi-hollow electric as I can imagine it bouncing around a bit inside of an acoustic-sized case.

Also worried about the headstock a bit because of the angle, so some kind of angled neck support would be amazing.

>>71614653
I feel like you lucked out, Orange (Color) amps are probably the most common besides black

>>71614871
Pretty much yeah. I'm not against getting a hard shell case for home use but I'd prefer a soft case for regular travel.

>>71614899
>>71614938
If you're worried about support, i'd still just go with the hardcase

Should just be 2-3 wires that need to be resoldered for a replacement switch.

How do I practice soldering? I want to install a new set of Strat pickups but I've never touched a soldering iron before. Is there a way to hone my ability with it?

>>71611355
Talk to me about amps, wattage = volume?, i want to buy a 12w orange but i also want to play with other people

>>71615582
Wattage ~= Volume, but tube amps and solid states are on different scales, and there's other factors

>>71615531
Just buy a length of wire and strip and solder it until you feel comfortable.

Bass VI tuned to A standard is amazing. It's basically useless tuned normally though.

>>71614975
Yeah, I'm leaning towards the hard case option now, though I don't suppose you have any experience with https://monocreators.com/vertigo-semi-hollow/?

I don't, that case *looks* cool at least, and I'm sure it's lighter, but it's also 2.5x the cost of the Epi branded hard case

>>71611964
Yes, but it's so subtle that it doesn't really matter too much.
,

Some say sustain has a lot to do with good tone, but a misconception is that it has a lot to do with wood but that's not necessarily the case. It's not so much with the type of wood, rather than the amount of it (particularly directly behind the bridge) and the way it's constructed (bolt-on, neck-through, cap, routing for floyd, floyd itself etc), what type of adhesives are used and how wood contacts other wood parts of the guitar.

What makes a 58-60 Les Paul Standard sound so great for example, isn't it's wood so much, rather than the old type of glue which over time has dried out and hardened and almost crystallized, forming a glass-like adhesive contact between the cap, body fretboard and neck, maximizing resonance, thus creating a very desirable tone.

There is a myth floating around for years that all wood for all 58-60 LP standards came from the same tree which isn't true because maple and mahogany trees don't grow that big.The old-time electronics and pickups play a good part too I bet.

I guarantee you, if you take a classic pre-1960 reissue Las Paul, any model, it won't sound exactly like the vintage originals and that's not due to modern wood or new wood types or anything like that, it's modern adhesives which are designed to never dry out and crystallize like that old ones would, or at least not dry out for a very very very long time.

Funny when you think about it, these vintage half-million dollar guitars. What we're primarily paying for is glue.

How do I get a stereo recording from a 1x12? Just use two mics?

I play violin so dual tracking isn't a good option, as it doesn't work well for bowed instruments.

Yo dudes this is probly gonna sound retarded but if im playing a song and i already have the tempo on point, should i still count the tempo in my head. Its kinda messing me up to count and I play better if i just play without stressing myself out.

switched to asio driver, was forced to use the dual channel and it couldnt handle the distortions well for some reason a massive volume drop happened and now my guitar sounds extremely low and the music im playing through my amp sounds like utter shit, i think the interface or my amp got fried

>>71617243
Hmm It might be down to your scarletts internal mixer settings. The echo you descibed sounds like you may be hearing both the raw and processed sound (which will have very slight timing differences due to latency). This might help

https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207546885-Latency-Issues-with-Interfaces

>>71617374
theres a volume drop in my interface now i disconnected the guitar and everything and started playing music through my interface through my amp and the volume drops constantly, i think it got fucked, gonna try it again later

Um, are all the cables plugged in properly?

Try taking them out and putting them back in. Sounds like shitty cables to me.

>>71617417
>>71617515
Also are you mixing mono/stereo signals with the wrong type of cables?

>>71617515
>>71617598
im using my guitar amp as the studio monitor because i dont have one, it sounds like shit but its a replacement until i can buy a monitor, so im running a guitar cable through the headphone jack to the amp and im using the amp as the interface amplifier

I play guitar but guitar players are my least favorite musicians

>>71617664
I play the recorder also, what about me <3?

>>71617650
Are you using the headphone output or the Left (presumably mono) output of the interface?

I've had issues mixing stereo outputs and mono inputs with my PA.

>>71617719
You might be okay.

>>71617664
my least favourite are vocalists who won a tv talent show

>>71617650
Does your amp have an aux input, if so try that. The amps main input won't handle line level signals well.

>>71617650

Try pulling the lead a fraction of the way out of the headphone jack. Sometimes you can find a sweet spot where you'll get the right signal coming out.

>>71617944
Probably, the headphones are a stereo signal, your amp expects mono. Or like I mentioned check if your amp has an aux input, this is meant to take non-guitar input, and they will often handle a stereo signal

Honestly never used it. When I've recorded with it any reverb/delay/chorus was post-processed. Decent amp though.

Not having a dedicated clean channel might turn some people off.

But yeah, I liked your setup, so I saved it and post it when I can. I obviously don't take credit for it. Good to see you're still around.

His stuff is legit, he sent me a demo of a Civil War fuzz clone and it came pretty close. I didn't buy it tho. I think if you're going to buy a pedal from a DIY builder make sure it isn't some type of rare Big Muff bubble font green Russian that's hard to compare

I like the distorted "rhythm sound" he's getting with his Big Muff clone at 2:02 but honestly it sounds so dated. Fairly early 1990s sounding to say the least. Not that it sounds bad or anything it just sounds like moment in time that has past.

Guess we're good to go.

still in the very early stages of learning guitar and I'm really struggling with chord changes

I feel like I have no control over the ring finger on my right hand I've been going back and forth between E minor and D and I just can't get a smooth transition down between the two.

I can't do it without pausing to focus on getting my ring finger on the 5th string firmly

really frustrating been working at this for the past 3 days is it normal that I'm having this much trouble with it?

Just slow it down until you can play it in time and smoothly.

Don't worry about how fast you're progressing. Just be patient. You'll get it if you stick with it.

>>71620109
This video was invaluable for me. Probably the best practice advice I've ever found. Do it every day and go longer when it starts getting easy. You will notice a difference in a few days - weeks.

So /mu/, I've been playing guitar for 8 years now and only get progressively worse. Anyone know how to fix it?

I started playing with a buddy who started a band with me, and through high school we drifted apart. Without anyone to play music with, I really can't enjoy playing in the same way. I can still play my old tunes like new, but I've been stagnant for years. I tried joining a band on craigslist, but these guys were huge fags and I fucked off. Will it ever get better?

>>71618352
remember how two people replied to you saying for the money its a great little multi fx tool?
They weren't lying anon, have you tried the crazy train setting yet? You can grab presets from songs among other categories such as amp models.

how do i tighten up my tremolo picking? i can pick triads pretty quickly and some single string lines but nothing involving string skipping.

>>71620244
yes left hand sorry

>>71620251
video?

am I right to just practice changing chords before learning a song? even a very simple one?

I was trying cut your hair by pavement but decided just to focus on changing from e minor to d because It didn't seem like I was anywhere near ready to play those four chords seamlessly

I'm trying to turn this little chord melody into a whole song, Can you guys help me

https://clyp.it/41ijlazx

What can i put to give that "blast" on each chord change on that part after 3:30 ??????

Finally found a decent setting on the Metal Zone I scored for $20.

Distortion and Middle full clockwise. Treble at 11 o clock. Lows at 4. Middle Frequency at about 10 o clock.

Pretty good rounded sustaining lead sound with a neck humbucker.

>>71620493
That video builds up the muscles in your fingers and arm very well, just make sure you don't overdo it and stretch, stretch, STRETCH! Another good exercise and s just bouncing chords. Play your chord then take your fingers of and strum the strings open then hit the chord again. Do this say 3 minutes for each chord you know every day it'll help your changes.

>>71620499
Ah found the song that had the feel i was thinking of

I honestly couldn't be happier with that amp. The clean is great, better then the 6505+ in my opinion. The shared eq is fine with me, I had a dark terror before it so feature wise it was a huge Improvment. The thing breathes fire though and you can tell it was made for metal heads. Reverb is really nice but I only use it on the clean channel. Its really well built and I think I could tap dance on it and not even scratch it.the power soak is dope also for home practice. I live in an apartment and on the 1 watt setting its just perfect. Defiantly try it and see which you like better. I probably won't ever need another amp myself.

Music is subjective and people like what they want.

But from a skill and technique standpoint, metal is the hardest, most physically challenging genre to play. You can't just be some beginner and play a difficult metal song, whereas you can pick up a guitar and play pop within 5 minutes.

Nah. No one just "picks up" jazz or classical guitar in a day. The theory knowledge required in order to be considered even a competent jazz musician is more than most metal musicians will ever learn in their entire lives, while the technique required to play classical well takes months to develop.

What else is there to play besides metal that's fun?

Everything is else is just strumming barre chords

Seriously tho, I never said that the big 4 are bad. I only said that Alex Skolnick is the best thrash metal guitarist after Dave Mustaine. My problem is that you are calling him shit without even knowing who he is, that makes you look ignorant, and stupid. Gary Holt is a badass motherfucker, he is being wasted on slayer. Exodus is one of the best thrash metal bands no doubt. However, I prefer Alex Skolnick's playing, he is like a jazz version of Marty Friedman. My favorite thrash band is Megadeth ffs(and as I recall, they are a part of the big 4). The one acting like a sheep at the moment, seems to be you, "HURR NOT A PART OF THE BIG 4, AND IT DOESNT HAVE GORY HALT???? TO THE DUMPSTER IT GOES". Without even giving it a try, like an ignorant person would do. Oh well, I got baited again. Here's another (You) for you, my boy.

We get it, Metal is hard to play.

That doesn't it make it fun to listen to, or fun to play

I'm just speaking from my own experience. I'm not a country, blues, bluegrass, punk, rockabilly, ska, etc. guitarist. I dabbled in some blues rock stuff before getting into metal several years ago, and taught myself some classical guitar around the time I got serious about metal and put together a metal band of my own. I've been studying jazz almost exclusively for the last seven years or so. I'm sure transitioning into the other genres I mentioned takes a fair degree of skill development too.

Is there a better acoustic for $300 new than a Yamaha FG830?

Have you ever heard a metal autist try to play the blues? It's somehow even worse than when your typical blooz lawyer does it.

Metal players look at a tab and 'play' it but they lack nuance and feel and typically can't play thru a clean amp unless it's some arpeggiated bullshit clean intro.

Even typical loose indie-punk and fuzzrock bullshit requires a certain approach and feel that metal players just hear as shittiness and can't replicate authentically.

My friend, the difference between the Super Champ and a Blackface Princeton is like comparing champagne to carbonated piss. The price is there for a reason. Would recommend the blue limited edition, has a 10" Celestion Blue speaker fitted and takes pedals better.
