Thanks. I'm feeling more inspired to work on my technique lately.

Thoughts on the Yamaha FG/FS series? Good intermediate guitar? Looking for something that I can continue to learn fingerpicking/classical on, but will have more body to the sound if I want to strum a few songs.

This site tells me that I should get an electric guitar as a beginner, contradicting everything I heard so far (that I should get a concert guitar).

Confused, help.

>>71932646
the right answer is to get a bass so you get your fingers strong

What do i do with playing guitar?

I'm intermediate and learn and memorize songs quickly

Should i apply for guitar courses/lessons/uni to get goodier at it? Or is it bullshit and just keep learning songs and random theory i see on the internet?
Or just apply for a parties/marriages etc stuff band with just what i already know?

>>71932845
What are your aspirations?

Do you want to be a local gigging musician playing bars, etc?

Do you just want to jam at open mics and blues jams every now and then?

Do you want to do studio work? Session playing? Wedding band? Guitar teacher? Just noodle around with friends? Play for your own enjoyment?

I had been using Jazz III's for a while and while they're great picks, I just wanted to try something different, so I started using Fender Heavies for a while, and now I'm using these because they seem like a better Fender Heavy to me.

I don't know if these are helping or hindering my playing. I used to use .88mm sharps but I can't go back to normal size picks now.

Does anyone else think they look like an inbred goober when they watch videos of themself playing guitar or do I just look like an inbred goober?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with starting out on electric guitar. In fact, it's easier to play.

I used Jazz IIIs once, then Tortex 1.14 mm (purple), then Ibanez Grip Wizard 1.0 mm, Tortex 2.0 mm, Dunlop Nylon 0.6 mm and now for the last 5 years or so Tortex 0.6 mm (orange). I just found a couple unused Jazz IIIs and Grip Wizards so I think I'll go and compare those to the Tortex 0.6 once my new guitar arrives.

What singlecoil-sized humbuckers are the best for punk?

I know it's a retarded question, but do you need a electricity source for an electric guitar?

Can you perform for just 2-3 listeners without bringing an amplifier?

>>71933796

Put copper shielding tape in the pickup and control cavities, make sure your amp isn't broken, and make sure the outlet you're plugging into is properly grounded.

>>71933791
Dimarzio Fast Tracks are great, they still sound a bit like single coils so you can still get that aggressive pick sound instead of it being smooth like most humbuckers.

>>71934531

It's electrical interference. Move your guitar around the room and see if it keeps buzzing. If you can, turn off any electrical equipment that you suspect may be the cause.
If you live in an apartment complex, you're probably fucked.

I want to be a goat rhythm player, how're those working out for rhythm with you? Especially faster, lighter rhythm. Basically I end up playing a lot of solo guitar and stuff, and I'm looking at those as a possible fit for something adequate for rhythm that doesn't sacrifice lead accuracy.

>>71934828
I'm probably not the person to ask because I'm a shit player. I can't pick fast without getting caught on the string, especially if I'm picking more than one string at a time.

lmao, you really think there's $700,000 worth of quality difference between those guitars and a Les Paul from the same year? Those guitars are overpriced simply because of rockist fetishism. If Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page had played Teisco guitars we would be seeing them selling for thousands as well.

I'm just saying you can buy real vintage Gibson quality for the price of a high end Korean or Chinese guitar. People act like Gibson is some kind of unattainable elitist brand, it's not.

Depends how you like your EQ.

I know an old dude around the place where I work who owns 50+ guitars. Valuable ones too like 50's & 60's gibsons. When I work sometimes I would chat with the guy about guitars, and last time he said he's looking to sell a majority of his collection but doesn't want to deal with the hassle. I told him I'd be willing to do it for a percentage and he said he'd think about it. His suggestion was that he gives me a value for each guitar and whatever extra I make above that value I get to keep for myself. He supplies the boxes and everything. But if I get an unhappy customer it's my problem.
Does this seem legit /gg/?
Should I ask for a percentage instead?

>>71933245

I would just ask for a percentage. Guys like that tend to overvalue their gear imo, there's a small chance that he's going to ask for less than the going price on reverb/ebay.

The vintage guitar market is kind of shitty right now, takes forever to move stuff.

>>71937670
Kinda depends on whether he's competent at pricing guitars

>>71937708
>>71937743
>>71937759
He claims to have made a living off of music so I would assume that he knows the values well. Hard to say though.
Maybe I will ask for a small percentage and if he declines I will do it the way he wants.
If I end up doing it, I'll post pics of them here too, just so /gg/ can see some interesting guitars.

What kind of knob? You might have the wrong sort of shaft or shaft diameter on your pots (strat knobs only work on split shaft, for example)

>>71938067
les paul bell type

one of the pots on the strat were from the les paul
yet all 3 knobs wont go

do les paul knobs sit higher on the pot?

>>71938124
hammer them on then apply superglue to hold them in place

>>71938152
Uhh or just switch out the pots for something that works and don't ruin your guitar

>>71938033
melt the plastic pots, mold it into new knobs and stick them on with bubblegum

>>71937900
The problem with selling at a percentage is that you don't really have a huge incentive to chase a high price on a guitar.

He's gonna want a minimum amount regardless and that's absolutely fair. If anything he's giving you more of a reward for selling over his asking price.

>>71938065
People often hide their powerlevel when posting those kind of ads to try and get more interest.

I went to have a 'jazz' jam with a rando once and we ended up playing a bunch of prog and wiggy psychedelic shit once we started talking.

>>71937410
Man, you should just try out various tortex and nylon sizes. There's a close equivalent to fender that'll last 10x as long in there somewhere.

Has Jared Dines gone to shit, or is he building up to something?

>>71937917
I'm guessing you don't stretch before and after playing, right?

Also what a qt, too bad about the red strategy but I'd still syncopate with her if you can pick up what I'm putting down there my good fellow.

>>71937670
He can't really trust you to sell at a percentage, if you undervalue anything he takes the hit. I think him setting the price is the best, if you can't sell certain things you can just say so and not worry about it, leave it to him.

>>71938441
whats wrong with red?

>>71938432
Was he not always shit?...

>>71938432
All of his recent videos seem to have been slapped together with the sole purpose of selling his shitty shirts. He also seems to be moving towards low effort vlogger content.

He's starting to think people care about him as a personality, and not what he actually does.

Red strat screams juvenile, every cartoon character teen seems to have one. Unfortunately that association is kinda hard to shake.

line 6 m series stompboxes worth it? saw a guy using one tonight, was quite impressed but he had other stuff in the fx chain.
some people swear by them.

is it a Tremolo Arm, a Vibrato Arm, or a Whammy Bar?

>>71938787
it's a vibrato, Leo Fender got the term wrong and it just stuck

>>71938819
what is the least autistic thing to call it then?

Anyone listen to Tom Morello? (Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave, Prophets of Rage) He's the guitarist I look up to most. If ratm ever did another tour, I would pay anything for tickets

>>71938432
He's always been shit. Literally the only funny thing he's done are the Suicide Silence videos

>>71938770
i have the m9, the size and sound are really nice
only complaints would be:
>can only use line 6 power adapter, no 3rd party power supply supports 9vAC 2000mA
>in a pedalboard context, the order in which you use the effects is limited. for instance i like to put a phaser or a vibrato (from the m9) before a compressor, and i can't unless i use the compressors in the m9 which aren't so great imo

What about the Line 6 FM4 with an external expression pedal?

>>71939686
I've got the Line6 Filter Pro rack unit, sounds exceptionally good on guitar and it will sync to MIDI clock to keep all the filter effects in time with any synced delays and drum machines

>>71939729
That sounds pretty hot, even better than what I was really looking for. I think that + external expression is really more than I want to pay, but Illness keep an eye out for a deal on Craigslist. Ideally I just want to pay as little money as possible for as much funny pedal noises as I can get. The reason I want this is to put noises into a loop machine to motivate songwriting. I do it with weird keyboard noises and have a good time, but my keyboard isn't that wild.

>think you are decent at guitar for never having been taught anything.

>can play a few chords, do some pentatonic blues soloy stuff, some bar chord riffs.

>Actually start to want to learn how to play guitar for real. Like the kids at guitar center who are 4 years younger than you do, who can shred up and down and play licks and get all the ladies.

>Figure out I have been picking wrong the whole time, and I can't unfuck my brain enough to learn fast up and down picking individual notes.

>Figure out that building pinky finger strength is a million times harder than I thought it would be.

>Realize I am fucking terrible and slow at playing any scale other than pentatonic.

>Realize music theory makes no sense to me and I feel stupid.

I never even had that big of an ego with my guitar skills and still feel crushed. I am back to beginner, I have to fucking unteach almost everything I thought I knew about guitar. Is it even possible to unfuck my shit using online instructions and youtube?

Nexbucker on caliguitar.

Anyone play one? From what I know about pickups these pole pieces should be a good pair for alnico II. Also pretty surprised to find caliguitar pickups are actually U.S. made, they have chink prices.

>>71940069
Buy a Fender Jaguar or Mustang

Can I get a recommendation for some good humbuckers?

>>71940610
Humbucker sized P90s.

>>71940610
Vintage splits and dream 180s are my favorite.

>>71940634
>>71940770
Is it uncommon for someone to put one brand in the bridge and a different brand in the neck?

>>71940819
It is, but that's what I do.

>>71940832
I really want to be a unique snowflake so I think I will do it too.
Thanks for the recommendations

>>71940819
Nope. In fact even if not different brands, I always put different types of pickups in. I don't want my middle position to be boring.

I recommended vintage split and dream 180 because I have a guitar that's got a vintage split in the bridge and a dream 180 in the neck, and it sounds like pure sex all the time. It is a bit hot though, so no ear piercing highs or anything. Though vintage split seems to have more highs than most humbuckers.

>>71940060
I'm exactly the same way. I feel like I've deeply engrained awful picking technique and I can't fix it. My pick catches on the string whenever I try to play fast.

Get pliers and squeeze the post a little. There's like a slot like a screwdriver could go in, close it a little. Knob goes on easier. Also, if you had the problem of knobs coming off easily, you could spread the slot a little bit and it would hold the knob better

>>71939984
I've done similar and had the same gap by the neck there. I found a pickguard to cover it eventually.

>>71940060
It's not impasta bowl. Just take a break for a few months, start picking differently. I used to hold it like a retard, or so i thought when one day i saw a buddy doing it differently/more efficiently. Come to find out i was holding it like hetfield did, and he plays fine. I'm happy i changed it and i cant look at pics or vids of him playing without noticing his weird pick grip.
