Oops…) it occurs to me that I always thought she was a kind of weird looking girl anyway…I walked the 20 minutes home in the middle of the night, and was relieved to get back safe…I go inside, walk to the bathroom and throw on the light, and gasp when I see the massive hickie on my neck…of course, the next day the band is rehearsing, and when they see the mark, ask who I had ended up with…I lie and say it was a tourist type girl who had already left town…after a few weeks, friends start coming up and asking me if I had slept with the he/she…I feign ignorance at the whole matter, but I start to get angry because I felt I had been duped innocently, acted honorably, and now some sort of revenge was being played out…after a couple more weeks of this, I finally pulled “her” aside and said not so politely that if he didn’t stop telling people what had happened, that I would break both his arms and his legs…and that was the end of that…

on my way to my bookstore what's a good book for a beginner like me? people have said guitar method etc, but idk what else
what should i get guys?

>inb4 dadcore tier stuff

can an lp handle drop b tuning well? also, does anyone know the gear entombed used on left hand path? i heard they used peavey bandits, jcm 800s, and hm-2s. i wanna know what guitars they used.

Getting my Strat in a few days and I'm gonna pick up a pack of replacement strings. Are 11's good on a Strat?

>>71635157
Zakk Wylde uses tunings as low as Drop A on LPs so you should be OK as long as you have a decent string gauge.

>>71635236
thanks, im currently using 11s on an sg. would they do the trick? sorry for asking for spoon feeding, i just havent taken the time to learn about string tensions or their relation to tuning and scale length.

>>71635157
You just need a drill, a file and enough time to do a setup. Of course you'll probably never get your intonation right.

>>71635311
no no no
you'll probably need 13's for drop b

>>71635467
fugg, what is a superior guitar type for low dropped tunings?
>>71635540
will the low b really be that floppy? ive done c standard on 11s and it was a-okay.

>>71635563
with the short scale length of an les paul you really want those strings to be as thick as possible to maximize tension and to maintain tuning stability for that low a tuning

>prove to me this isn't he best jazzmaster under 1000$

>>71635818
do you not understand how basic standing wave physics works
wave velocity equals the squareroot of tension over linear density
if you want low frequency (low wave velocity) you can increase the string's linear density (ie guage) and/or decrease the tension
if you don't want the damn string to be flopping all over the place, you need to keep tension constant, which requires an even thicker string than if you were to trade off both

so you can use 11s with godawful floppy strings, 12s with poor tuning stability, or 13s with normal tension

jesus fuck guys this is basic shit

>>71635840
Blury as fk

>>71635638

I use 11's on a LP for C and B std tunings, and it's pretty comparable in feel to a LP in E standard with 9's. Not identical, but similar. Shift up from there for your preferred E-standard feel. (10's for E may mean you want 13's for B, etc). Starting point. Strings are cheap.

Depends on what you mean. If you do your homework, a really good-sounding acoustic guitar can be had for under $200 used. Specifically I'm thinking of an early/mid 90s Charvel 625c.

You've got more choices at a higher price-point, $350-500, again especially if you can do homework and buy used.

At $1000 you should be able to spin in a circle, throw a dart, and hit a quality-made guitar.

None of these will sound like a $4k Taylor and you shouldn't expect them to. But there are plenty of mid-priced acoustics that are well-made instruments.

>>71636491

>>71636606

I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Are G&L better than Fender ?

I want a mosrite style guitar but I'm broke af. Not really a big fan of the new Danelectro 64, but it's about my price range. Any ideas?

Anyone know where I can pick up individual saddles for my Italian stratocaster? Bought it used and banged up

>>71636973
I like 3-bolt G&L's from the early/mid 90s a lot more than USA Fenders. But I own both and enjoy playing both. G&L USA's can be had for a good bit cheaper than Fender Americans.

Thinking of getting a Gibson SG Special T. I heard they are neck heavy, is this a big concern?

every 12 frets the pattern repeats its not rocket science

>>71637322
I guess what I'm saying is that I don't really know how scales work and thus can't apply what I have learned. I know that low E 5th fret is the home or whatever but I don't know how it relates to soloing.

>>71637362
low E 5th fret is an A note in standard tuning. So in the key of A, thats your root note thats all. If you want to play in A# just move everything up one fret. etc.

Paid $780 for an Ibanez USRG30 in 1997. Was fair-market at the time, well below original sale price in 1995. But now they're extremely rare and going for north of $2k.

Also bought a 1995 Jackson Kelly "Pro" in sparkle green metallic. There's one for sale on eBay now, only the 5th one I've ever seen. I owned three of the 5 that I've seen. Asking $1800 on eBay, I paid $1050 originally.

There's almost all of the currently sold HBs being reviewed on youtube. People like to buy these even for just a review.

Over 10 years ago I bought a HB bass, it was a jazzbass clone pretty much, the action was sky high and it was very neck heavy. Cheap as dirt tho. Gave it away eventually.

Now I am buying the semihollow PRS copy of HB seeing there's mainly positive reviews, assuming their quality has gone up. I'd say buy one with a huge grain of salt and remember you have 30 day return policy if things don't work out.

>>71642561
Im handy enough with doing set ups and that and if i like how it plays i could invest in some pickups. Thanks for the advice

>>71642644

Yeah, as far as I understood from a bunch of reviews the weak points are the nut and bridge. Nowadays HB makers are smart enough to take care of all the fret ends. They're rounded out first.

>>71642509
They're pretty solid if you're either on a budget or you want to try your hand at modding. If you have some experience setting up and doing some tlc on guitars then you can pretty easily turn one into a real sleeper of a guitar.

anyone know what some decent years for vintage Guilds are? I'm thinking my next guitar should be an old Starfire IV. I've always been strangely compelled by Guilds and desperately want a semi-hollowbody for jazzy stuff + I'm missing my acoustic. they're round $1500 +/- $300 for 60's-70's models, it's fucking insane.

I have a stupid question.

Does playing on a metal oriented guitar make it easier to shred on it? If so, why?

>>71642981
Thin flat necks with compound radius's are easier to shred on. Whether or not it's a metal guitar depends on the pickups and amp.

>>71641408
no replies why

forgot pic. delicious Guild. top-tier headstock design going by aesthetics alone.

>>71642981
Thinner neck profile, flatter fretboard radius and larger (jumbo) frets are all considered reasons why those guitars are best for shredding. Truth be told the vast majority comes down to practice regardless of what guitar you have but those things can make a difference for a lot of people.

>>71643009
>bass
>blues

Because it's boring as shit

>>71642981

Humbuckers. They tend to compress the sound a bit more, making stuff like tapping more audible.

why do people have such as hard on for John Frusciante?

I don't know, ask Roman

>>71642981
If you want bare bone facts,a flying V and explorer have cutaways that may make it easier to hit the higher frets but you defiantly don't need a pointy guitar to play metal.

If you want meme magic the more points it has the better the guitar and the sharper they are the faster it plays.

>>71642981
You can shred on any guitar with enough practice.
That said, the neck profiles on metal guitars make it more comfortable to shred for some people, but by no means that means it's easier to shred on any guitar, it's a matter of feel.
Something that almost certainly will be easier on X or Y metal guitar is access to the higher frets, shredding on the high register may become easier.
Also, you may prefer metal oriented guitars for shredding because they posess stuff such as locking tremolos and high-output pickups that make it easier to get into a shreddy vibe.
This is what I think anyways, you should have a go at the models you're planning on buying.

What's that really high pitched sound a lot of metal bands use called? It's a technique where you pluck the string with your thumb and it makes a twangy noise, i guess. Slipknot does it a lot, here's an example, it happens at the five second mark

>>71643503
Pinch harmonic. You choke up on the pick a lot and brush the string with your pickhand thumb immediately after picking a note. Zakk Wylde's use of the technique is what springs to my mind as the exemplar of pinch harmonics.

So I'm looking at some bass amps and most of them state a certain output wattage at 4 ohms. But when I look at 15" cabs almost all of them have 8 ohms impedance.

Can I use the amps with the cabs (with lower output obviously) or will I risk damaging components?

>>71642981
I have a V and I hate it but it has the dave mustaine thin D neck profile and a flat fretboard. Also, its a V so there is no wood getting in the way of the 24th fret so it can be accessed as easily as the 12th. Where as on a strat you dont even have the 24th fret and if you did there would be all the wood which you would have to stretch over from the cut away.

You can tell a quality drop between the 74 and the 2012 but they're still better than most basses ive played. I have 1988 Stingray that tops both. The 74 has great playability and low end though. The 2012 gets more shit than it should though.

Newbie question here. I've just restrung my guitar myself for the first time. The E, A, D and G strings I did fine and the string wraps around the peg neatly, but the B and e strings were a fucking pain in the ass to put in (vintage tuners), and the strings have a few overlaps on the peg which I left because I just got frustrated with them popping out. Is there any benefit to having it wound nearly, or am I OK to just leave them as is?

Biggest aspects are flat compound radius necks and really extreme cutaways that let you into the higher registers more easily. Additionally, most have 2 humbuckers which give chords a little more power for rhythm and make things like tapping and legato more audible to the listener.

So yes, but that said you won't be able to just pick up a guitar and shred on it without practice. Additionally, some metal guitarists who are known for being shredders use very large necks, like Zakk Wylde.

Why do Tweed cases cost so much?

I've been watching the tutorials in the OP in an effort to learn lead guitar. I've been doing just chords for years.
Is it that important that I hold my pick with two fingers like how they say? I've been holding it with three (thumb, index, and middle) for all of the years I've been playing.

>>71646144
I'm sure I got it for like 120€ back then, but anyway it's worth it
I prefer it to any other bag or case I've ever touched because it's really light, has good neck and head support and the attached pocked is massive
also there's enough space in it to leave strap and clip-on tuner on the guitar, which is really convenient

>>71646216
I don't even get what holding with three fingers can achieve, it's going to slow you down no matter what.
Maybe try changing picks too.

>>71646243
Yeah at least it seems great, it's just that I hadn't planned to spend so much on a gigbag.

Should I buy a gibson les paul standard?

>>71646339
Its probably because I was scared of dropping it while playing. But I guess I'll try and break the 3 finger habit.

Another pointless post about where a guitar is made or the nationality of the people who assemble it. And squier affinity teles are amazing by the way.

>>71649312
It's definitely relevant when they're deceptively leveraging their brand to charge $500 for what's effectively the same as a $300-400 Squier. I have no beef with cheap Asian guitars, just FMIC shenanigans.

The end result is the same, you get a piece of wood with tiny bits of wire stretched across it that makes noises. Who cares what fender's business model is or what asian country it's made in. If it feels good and you like playing it thats all that matters.

What pickups to put in my Strat for Buddy Holly's tone?

>>71646717
i live in a shitty village with no guitar shops around and work 11h per day so i have almost no freetime and when i do everything is closed.

Assimilate his playing style.
Then you'll have his tone no matter what pickups you use.

>>71649667
But certain pickups are better for a certain sound. I've also been trying to get his playing style down, but it's pretty unusual. He's a pretty underrated guitarist.

>>71649794
You still have an amateur way of thinking. I had your mindset when I was in like 7th grade lol. I thought if I get all the gear my favorite guitarist uses i'll sound like him. Doesn't work that way.

is the bass so sloppy and off-tempo it loses the vibe or does it get by?

Pick 1, or order greatest to least

Also sort explanation welcomed

>>71649794
I think Fender 54 pickups are the closest but the 57/62 are close too
