Dunno. He used to have a quarter shoved in there. thats looks a little more permanent- on second look looks maybe it is a quarter just made more permanent.

i'm doing a blues album /gg/ whats your thoughts on this idea
me jamming with myself on bass and guitars

https://clyp.it/jivc4u4k
this is the first track recorded, it'll be cut short with the best bass parts and have guitar added

>>71781180
coin screwed into the body to fill a gap between the body and the tremolo. that white roll isnt wood its double sided tape. he would just stick picks on there.

>>71781246

I would think his guitars were cool if it wasn't for the shit EVH stripe design. It's vastly overrated looking. A solid color would have been cooler.

thing sounds like trash

Redpill me on the CAGED system /gg/, is it a meme or worth learning?

>>71783049
It's both.

>>71783049
nothing wrong with it, it's good for organizing basic major/minor chord shapes and scales up and down the neck.

it kind of falls apart if you want to get into anything other than simple major and minor chords/scales though, like for example a simple dom7 chord, it gets really messy trying to organize positions with a dom7 like they do with maj/min chords in the caged system.

Went from 11s to 9s, feels like I can play anything

>>71781284

It was a brilliant design. Instantly identifiable...and now a brand.

>>71783049
Is CAGED more than recognizing intervals around chords shapes?

I really hate Rob Chapman and his goons

>>71782668
Stop posting that fucking shit guitar in every thread

Where do I start with classical guitar? I want to learn from the ground up even though I've been playing guitar a good few years

Is it too bad if i cant count bars during a solo?
My band is doing War Pigs and i can't for fucks sake improvise for the same bars as the recording.
Like it has that major riff, then solo, then a bar of just E, then more solo. I cant count that i just fuck around and then the band catches when i do that last deum-deum bend thats on the end of the solo

>>71784273
>>71784370
their thunderbird isn't that shabby, it's a powerful bass and the epiphone version isn't all that bad

i always wanted to get the sg looking eb basses because of their wooly tone... sadly you always be lost in the mix

for you pedal junkies and other bassists, i'm looking to get an overdrive pedal to mimic those sexy sounding pushed to the max tube amp sound from the 70's like Geezer Butler's tone

so far i've come to like
>Fulltone OCD
>DOD Overdrive Preamp 250
>Earthquaker Devices Monarch
>Way Huge Pork Loin
>MXR Bass Overdrive
>Tech 21 Leeds

but the catch is that I'm pairing it up with Earthquaker Devices Acapulco Gold, have been using it as a distortion pedal but i'm thinking of either adding a great fuzz pedal or another distortion pedal like the Turbo Rat into the chain before the Acapulco Gold and use the Gold as a sort of dirty volume boost

in summary, any recommendations for that overdrive pedal and a new fuzz/distortion pedal that'll go great with the Acapulco Gold?

hello /gg/

i put stickers on my guitar

that is all

>>71784618
>wooly tune

Yeah, I could never get into that. It's all about the singing treble of a Rick or a T-40 for me.

>>71784618
I'm using a Darkglass B3K myself and it's pretty great (but pricy). It's one of the few pedals that allows for a nice crunchy sound without losing too much lows, work well for both active and passive basses as long as you blend it properly. I don't know how it would sound with your other pedals though, as I never used it in conjunction with other distortion/fuzz/overdriver pedals.

The Chapman Stick has nothing to do with Rob Chapman, right?

just ordered some petrucci jazz iiis to try them out

how do they feel compared to standard jazz iiis?

>>71785378
They're bigger and kind of feel like shit desu. I don't like the glossy tip,takes away from the crisp sound of the Ultex material.

>>71785416
>kind of feel like shit desu

reeee cancelling order

>>71785378
they feel good, but pales in comparison to Chapman guitars

>>71785441
Nah, they're worth trying just my taste. You might like them if you prefer a smoother sound as oppsed to a more percussive attack. I guess they could be good for distorted shredding with low noise.

>>71785487
i know, it was only $5 anyway, if i dont like them oh well.

i usually stick to the 2mm ultrex and the max grips

>>71785532
2mm ultex are god tier, my favorite dunlop picks. Wish they made a 3mm

does it at all matter which capo I buy or should I just get a cheap one off amazon?

>>71785551
i'd like them more if they made the top part of the 2mms have the same texture as the max grips

>>71785591
cheaper ones may press too hard and raise it 1.25 of a step or something

>using a capo

Man, fuck sanding. Just spent 4 hours taking the chinese paint off my neck down to the bare wood.

Christ. Fuck paint.

>>71785698
Why not use chemical stripper? Is it a bolt on?

>>71785673
I'm new to guitar whats wrong with using a capo? is tuning down actually superior in a conceivable way or is this just some gatekeeping bullshit

i stepped on my guitar and the head broke off /gg/
can i fix it?

>>71785761
is it a gibson?

>>71785761

It can be fixed but probably not by you.

>>71785711
It is a bolt on. And the stripper would have been a bigger mess and cost me a lot more money. Thankfully my dad lent me his power sanders, several different kinds. Without those I would have never finished. The bottom layer of paint (the primer) was tough as a bitch to get off.

>>71785761
you can't, a luthier probably can. going to probably cost a couple hundred bucks though

nope. acoustic starcaster.

>>71785754
people on the internet will incessantly give you shit for using a capo, i think its fine, i have one myself, but just dont be one of those guys that only knows G C and D and slides it around to play in different keys. thats when it gets lazy

>>71785851
We can help you better if we can see the damage. Also pics or it did not happen.

>>71785789
can't i just use wood glue and a clamp?

>>71785318
None whatsoever.

>>71786370
Oops.

Forgot pal.

>>71786073
People (myself included) judge capo use because many guitarists that I would call amateur use the capo rather than learn chord voicings.

That being said, there are genuine uses for capos, and I own one and have occasionally used it. I value having a good vocabulary of chords, but if that isn't something you care about then it doesn't matter.

/gg/, how can I redpill my boy about mids? He is convinced that his 10-0-10 EQ setting is fine because 'Dimebag didn't use mids'.

>>71786864
It literally is fine. Scooped mids have their place. He can use his own ears.

>>71786918
>scooped mids have their place
maybe in your bedroom but certainly not in a mix

How can I improve my singing voice?

I can hit the notes fine and everything but my voice just sounds kind of weak and bland in general. I've tried both higher and lower registers and I don't either one is a big improvement. I've tried listening to bands and singers that I like to try and get an idea of a different style but nothing has stuck there either.

Any advice? They're expecting me to be able to sing and I wish there was a way to get my voice somewhere that I'm comfortable with.

>>71787049
Sit in your car and practice to your favorite bands. Drink plenty of water, work on good breathing techniques.

>>71786952
LOOK OUT WE HAVE A PROFESSIONAL RECORDING ENGINEER HERE

>>71787049
car singing works, also the best advice i ever got was to act like you have a stack of books on your stomach whenever you sing.

>>71787143
'mix' can apply to a live setting to, baby boy

that means that when you jam with your edgy friends, you can just overpower them by turning your mids up from 0

now you can really hear your shitty lead!

>>71781126

>>71787049
>I started working more on my lead vocals, while still playing the drums. Inspired by Rob Halford of Judas Priest and Ian Gillan of Deep Purple, I practiced working on singing while riding my motorcycle. No doubt this is the reason for my loud voice, while singing over the pitch of the engine and the wind in my face.

-Jeff Martin

>>71787049
Doing warmups is the fastest way. Look some up. Do plenty of lip rolls. Beyond that try to sing with fuller vowels by exaggerating and opening your mouth very wide on each syllable.

Also try singing in various accents. You'll be surprised how different certain parts of songs will change. Then you can try to duplicate the feeling you get on your best notes to develop what register you are most comfortable in.

>>71786464
Yea I use .71mm on .11s

What's the best pedal that can simulate bass? Is it the Dogitech Drop, Boss Harmonists, EHX Pog and any others?

Thats cool and all shred but can you play Bossa? http://55chan.org/mu/src/1490490513292.ogg

Hypothetically, If you put a fender neck on a bolt on les paul body, would the intonation be way the fuck off due to the change in scale length?

>>71788017

No? Answer the question.

>>71783049
Just learn about intervals. Don't pay attention to the chord shapes you've seen before. Justplay them as if you were a piano player.

The pickup and selector switch were just there for appearance, apparently to "threw copy-cats off" when it was easier to replicate the black and white guitar and market it

Fretboard dont. affect. sound.
So mane effect tube sEQ and then its direct through a Shure SM57 or PA for mastering.

Then you have Kemper, axes FX and solid state amp that will no care about the wood and make anything the sound of the amp anyway.

If you DO believe in this shit of feetboard sound, you HAVE to take ebony fretboard.

It's true that the first SGs were actually called Les Pauls but SG actually means 'Solid Guitar'

Anywho I had the SG first but really wanted a Les Paul so I ended up getting the Heritage. I don't really have any interest in a Tele and I already had a LTD with a Floyd which I sold.

I've played a Gretsch which was pretty nice and sounded good but it's not all that different to the LP and SG. I don't think there's another electric I really want besides maybe a bass. I do want a nice steel 6 string acoustic and maybe a 12 string too, not sure if electric or acoustic though.

>>71790177
REEE there is nothing wrong with brown tortoiseshell

>>71790100
There isn't any concrete logic I know of, but it does obviously affect the tone. When using the bridge pickup there will be a greater difference in tone between lower and higher strings. This can be nice for things like bluegrass where you might be playing the bassline with your thumb.

>>71790212
I have a 12 string acoustic and I'm not a huge fan. There's a lot of ways it's worse than a 6 string, and the tone is hard to use. I'm going to sell/trade it for a mandolin.

>>71790305
what about an electric 12 then?

>>71790339
I haven't played one but I suspect it would solve many of the problems the acoustic has, simply by having lower tension strings. Also with effects obviously you can slip it in to a lot more songs.

Still I'd prefer a mandolin. Does the things the 12 string does best better. Especially because it's tuned to 5ths.

He's pretty much crap. He plays crap, his solo albums is crap. He's meme costume guy and got popular for playing babbys first djent and no leads. The band he was in literally ended the 90s music scene in disastrous fashion unseen in the music industry since the buddy holly plane crash. The difference being one a sad tragedy, the other their whole career a disgusting tragedy.

What are some ideal guitar-based jazz albums to listen to? I want to begin learning jazz guitar and need somewhere to start

>>71790575
Agreed. It's a disgusting piece of literal garbage. It's actual evidence of his lack of knowledge about guitars. One working pickup. No tone knob because he didn't know how to wire it. Bridge rigged with a coin. Pickup just nailed in middle to "confuse people". Spray painted with tape stripes like a 11 year old would do. He's lucky he played tappy pop shit when pop shit was becoming popular otherwise that thing would've been in the landfill 30 years ago.

No. It was supposed to be the new version of the Les Paul in 1961, but Les wanted nothing to do with the guitar and didn't want his name attached to it. So he agreed to promote it if they chose a different name. SG=solid guitar as mentioned by >>71790212

The amp will be fine, the speaker is the thing that could break. Low gain, low volume and turn down the bass just to be safe. Obviously it'll sound like shit, but that's how you protect your speaker.

Fuck this place.

Doing any kind of painting or woodworking is impossible here because Chicago has the most bipolar climate in north america. It was 70 degrees yesterday and now its in the 40's and raining constantly, the week before that we got a foot of snow and it melted the next day entirely because the temperature went back up to 55 and sunny.

Anyway, the actual problem I'm bitching about it the goddamn humidity change because the weather is never constant. I applied a whole coat of paint to a project guitar of mine yesterday and now its wrinkled up and ruined because the temperature dropped 30 degrees and the rain shot the humidity way too high.

I give up, every time I've tried to do a painting project it is destroyed before it dries.

>>71792037
Not to mention, GOOD LUCK keeping your fretboard from shrinking and causing the frets to stick out here.

>>71781085
I want a steel string guitar, ideally 45mm+ nut width (I hate the narrow string spacing on my electric). How much do I need to spend to get a guitar with proper intonation and decently low action? I'd like a solid top as well. Cutaway and pickup are a plus. Dreadnought or jumbo body shape probably.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

>>71792037
>>71792095

No offense, but what's you're point? Every fucking city in the US that isn't San Diego has these problems. The rest of us get by. Ever heard the saying about Chicago..."Don't like the weather? Wait 15 minutes!". We've all heard it, and not about Chicago. I live in central Texas. Redneck farmers say it all the time. Why? Because it's true.

I've got 26 guitars, and the changes in humidity and barometric pressure affect them all. Just have to make do and learn how to basic luthier.

(Also, I was in Denver last week. Talk to them about bipolar weather...)

[Nurse:] That is the problem, we're not sure.

[Nurse:] Right here.

[Doctor:] Not much here to say

[Nurse:] No doctor, no obvious physical trauma. Vitals are stable.

[Doctor:] Name?

[Nurse:] No sir.

[Doctor:] Did someone drop him off?
Maybe we could speak to them.
Let's get some background on this fella.

[Nurse:] No ID. Nothing
[heavy breathing in background]
And he won't speak to anybody.

[Doctor:] Well, let's say hello.
Good Morning, I'm Dr. Lawson.

Acoustic nut width for most dreadnaughts is 1 11/16" so you'll be fine with anything off the shelf. If you think you can tell the difference in 1/16" across 6 strings I'll punch you in the dick.

Intonation and action are a product of setting the guitar up properly, so $0 extra. Find a cheap Yamaha or Takamine. Should meet those minimal specs.

>>71792359

>If you think you can tell the difference in 1/16" across 6 strings I'll punch you in the dick
My electric has a 42mm nut width, most classicals have 50-52mm as far as I know.
I wanted something in between, hence 45mm+. 46-48mm would be ideal IMO.
I know it may sound silly but in regards to setup, don't they come setup from the factory? I can obviously to the setup on an electric but I can't do it for an acoustic where I'd need to file the saddle.

>>71792545
(I's just making a joke. 1 11/16 vs 1 3/4 minimum. All I was saying is, get a standard dreadnaught or dnaught w/cutaway and that'll meet your needs.)

1 9/16 can be found on some electrics, 1 5/8 to 1 11/16 is more common. So if you get a standard dreadnaught it should meet those requirements.

Don't rely on setup for a used guitar. But if you're buying new, especially from like Musicians Friend or something, it should be set up from the factory. Unless you play ultra high-tuning or deep-tuning, or some crazy string setup. It'll be fine from the factory.

>>71790339
If you like 80s indie rock they are perfect.

>>71792650

You people are faggots and you don't know anything about what a good guitar is.

I own American PRSes, full on ESPs, Fender custom shops and other high end shit and my most recent project and acquisition was a Silverburst MiM Tele that I stripped and put Piledrivers in. Guess what? It has just as good intonation, tuning stability, playability and SUPERIOR sound thanks to the upgraded pickups to most stock shit in the £3k+ range.

LMAO @ the insinuation that Gibson are a bad company by any stretch. They've had their controversies, but the only people who say this are people who can't afford one. I've never played a Gibson that sounds shit or plays badly, it's probably you that sounds shit. They do have a ton of finish flaws and QC problems though, I'll give you that.

Gibsons sound the same across the entire range. But that's only good if you want that glassy humbucker sound. IMO the perfect Gibson sound is the P90 on a LP Junior but millions will disagree with that.

im thinking of about getting this guitar but im not sure if i should take the plunge. iron label has a lot of bad rep though because its an indonesian ibanez.

anyways, how would you compare it to the rgd2127fx? right now i can pickup the prestige rgd for 1350 australian bucks, and the guitar i want is 1425 bucks. problem is that i heard the stock pickups arent that great, and theres no locking tuners so im gonna have to shell out another 400 bucks. it comes with a hardcase too but i already have one so i dont really care about it.

I never play with an amp. Am I probably picking up a bunch of bad habits I'm not realizing?

I mean, not to disparage your project too much, because you essentially went custom the smart way, but there are lots of people starting with neck blanks and body blanks and fret wire. I think partscasters are really cool, but there isn't much difference between building from parts and extensive modding. I think partscaster people should be proud, but you shouldn't be elitists. And yeah, I'm just selfishly saying this as someone who decided to mod, but I guess I don't want to be diminished.

>>71794821
Pick up a LP and put the tone of the neck pup to 10.

Garbage.

If you use the tone knob it's because you understand that there's such a thing as too much treble. This applies to ALL music, not just jazz. Try and play me some Kyuss with your tone knob rolled up, shit will sound like you're using a Tele.

>>71797771
To be fair 90% of neck humbuckers are bad in the first place, so killing all your harmonics for fuzz or jazzy chords that are still "legible" is the only thing you can use them for.

just got the Charvel Guthrie Govan model.

not a fan of Guthrie, but i LOVE the baked flame maple neck, extra large jumbo SS frets, and the body with light oil finish. you can really feel the wood vibrate, and it smells delicious.

over 30 years and hundreds of guitars, it's the best playing guitar i have ever owned. too damn expensive tho....but with Fender and other boutique makers charging up into the 5 figures for a good S style guitar, i guess the Charvel isn't outrageously expensive...

Don't think of it like that. The term parallel minor and relative minor are bullshit.

Key of C major. No sharps or flats. Neutral key signature.

There are 3.5 minor keys or modes, and 3 major keys. The .5 comes from the bm7b5.

You can pretty much make any of those 7 modes our root to your key.

If you want to change keys, as in add in sharps or flats, you can't just use a simple method or trick. It doesn't work like that.

oops i saw the mistake and forgot to fix it prior to hitting post. i think im just gonna forget about parallel keys for now and work on getting the basic stuff down.

Best tube head for the money. Perfect dirt, searing lead tone, and YES good cleans. How 'bout independant reverb for each channel, heh?

It gets way worse towards the end.

He takes a shot at Lee for not hiring a bigger venue because some clinic he was putting on was full.

"The problem is that the venues in town are either 200 capacity or 1200. Too bad you aren't 6 times as popular."

PRS can't compete with British bantz.

Get both used for $500 total, the value of MiM Teles and Strats and Hot Rod Amps plummet if used

>The heavier wood the more toan it gets.

I don't think tonewoods are a total myth but you obviously can't quantify tone you fucking jabroni.

New thread. When? And add the Initals you mangoloid

Also will a Jazz Bass neck fit on a PBass? Or can I route PBass pickups to replace the neck jazz pickup? I feel the answer would be yes like swapping a Strat and Tele neck and the only issue for the bass would be a new pickguard and wiring/soldering
