I love the sound, I want to do some composition + singing with it, but it's still 400$ I'm not sure I'm gonna use that much. Should I just spent 600$ in a decent steel stringed guitar? Would you recommend a classical for a folk-ish type of music, or do you think a electro-acoustic will do the job just fine?

Hey guys, I need help finding a guitar
I want to upgrade from my current/first guitar, a Squier Bullet Strat.
I was looking to spend around 250-350 euros, and I have been told by the guy in my local shop not to buy another Squier (because I was looking at getting a Jazzmaster)
I play gay indie shit and punk, if that helps.
I am also a Fender fag

Is a good idea to create a YT channel and post a different cover or impro every day, or regularly?

>>71987288
won't help at all with actual work
get to know local musicians, find music students at unis and conservatories at their open stages and whatnot
connections are everything and the only way to get a way into the scene so you can play as a sub or fill a slot in a top40 band and stuff like that
obviously you have to be fluent enough with sight reading and be a proficient enough musician overall, but without knowing the right people you won't ever get the chance to show that

most guitar shapes I draw look somewhat psychotic, haha

These shapes are handy if you're just noodling around on the first three strings. I also think it's good to know both because it will more thoroughly flesh out your fretboard knowledge and visualization.

Quick tip: If you dont play your C or G chord with your pinky included you are a filthy normie and need to reevaluate your existence

>>71988976
Each sound a bit different and fell way different

S7420, 24 fret and trem, sounds good coil split, needs better pickups for sure.

Ax7521, made in japan, short wcale, plays really nice, sounds great with the d-sonic+air norton combo.

Ael207, acoustic electric. Having a low dropped a sounds great with most acoustic songs, good for learning new shit late at night without having neighbirs call the cops.

Agile t7, single coik 7 string. Plays pretty damn nice, thicker neck but fits my big ass hands nicely.

I dunno, just always works for me. I wont make you justify your gear, but you wont post your shit ever.

Everytime I play, I have a fuckton of fun. I also have a background in music theory (Was involved in choir from the 4th-12th grade) so I understand chord progressions, know how to read sheet music, etc. The reason I bought one of the higher end guitar is because it will be (questionably) more desired on the used market.

Not sure why every god damn photo I post from mobile (iphone) ends up sideways. Fuk

So how do you get through the wall boys? I'm taking a break from pure technical exercises and I'm just fucking around playing leads at the moment because I just can't break my fucking speed barrier and it's frustrating me.
My precision is dropping off at just under 190 bpm, and I'd really like to go for 215ish but fuck me is it hard.

>>71990550
>>71990569
Looks nice

where should I take my guitar to have it set up properly?
I think the previous owner cut the nut himself because the distance between B and E is a lot further than the distance between G and B, leaving no room for the E on the fretboard.

>>71990644
Look up local music shops and ask there. If they can't do it they'll know someone who can - actual luthiers are expensive as fuck.

>>71990550

>>71990575
When I find myself hitting a wall like that, it tends to be related to bad economy of motion. And that usually means I need to slow the fuck down, breakdown my technique as best as I can, and see what I can improve. Trying to brute force over some hump is rarely the solution.

Usually for me it's been related to excessive movement of some kind (i.e. fingers lifting too far of fretboard, overly wide picking arc), but it can also be posture/grip things that lead to unwanted tension.

Also, what exactly are you playing at those 190-200 bpm tempos? Eighths, sixteenths, or something else? Just trying to get a frame of reference.

Do most tab makers just figure out the key and play some wank that sounds vaguely like the actual track or do they actually attempt to listen to the track and transcribe it note for note?

Because if they're doing the latter they're fucking terrible at it.

>>71990779
Yeah, I really need to work on proper economy picking, and I need to look at my grip.

I'm playing eighths and sixteenths, and string-skipping. I'm slowly trying to get into tech-death, and as I said while it sounds good at lower speeds, 190+ just isn't precise. Anyway, I'll be spending way more time in the 120 zone and looking at technique.

>>71990810
"transcribing note for note" is pretty much a given for accuracy but theoretical knowledge will make the process substantially faster, to the point where I wouldn't advise doing it purely by ear

>>71990836
Might be worth looking into taking lessons from someone who's familiar with good technique and can do a good job of helping you develop it, especially at the point it sounds like you're at.

It's always good to have another (informed) opinion to point out things you might have overlooked. If you go that route, take your time finding the right person and ask around.

My band has our first show in a little under two weeks and our drummer just told us he apparently won't be in town that weekend
We're trying to figure out solutions and our guitarist suggested that we just use a drum machine since he apparently uses Ableton enough that he can get it set up, but the problem is that idk how it would even sound live
Are there any examples of rock bands that use drum machines live to good effect? I know Big Black and HANL but that's it and even HANL stopped playing shows because they didn't like the setup

Drum machines live are lame as fuck live. Find someone to fill in then kick out your drummer for pulling that rookie shit

>>71991249
We have an idea of someone who might be able to fill in
Part of it is that we originally wanted to use drum machines and use them for interesting electronic percussion sounds but we scrapped it because it was way harder than just getting an actual drummer

2 things.

1) Should I sell this piece of shit or keep it? My dumbass thought this thing would really be made of sheet metal or some shit. That would've been nice but the bass can live without it.

2) Does anyone have experience with Boss RV2 and RV3 pedals? Dont know whether to get both or stick with one.

The RV3 cause its delay and reverb, been seeking a 2 in 1 pedal so thats a plus. However the RV2 from what i can tell in demos sounds alot better, warmer, organic even? Not sure but either get 2 effects or get 1 great effect.

>>71992951
New frets is wayyyy more work. You can level frets that are only sorta worn in 10 minutes. Also, getting new frets has some inherent risk of damaging the fretboard and especially binding. Many frets have burrs to keep them firmly seated in the fretboard, so removing them can take out some wood with it, and putting in new ones can leave a gap. For maple boards your neck is likely less protected from moisture.

These are only risks, though. Still, I would recommend against a refret unless your guitar needs it.

Goes great with your Fender® Brandcaster® and Twin Reverb® amp.

I dunno if you really want to be using the exact same equipment as everyone else, just makes it that small bit harder to be original. Having the gear your idols have isn't always a great thing.

>>71992951
Na. I ask because I noticed a lot of the musicians around me just buy new guitars once their current ones are worn out.

>>71993665
A lot of people like to be all art and no science or vice versa these days.

Just goes hand in hand with identity politics these days. /rant

These executives have plooked the fuck out of me
And there's still a long time to go before I've
Paid my debt to society
And all I ever really wanted to do was
Play the guitar 'n bend the string like
Reent-toont-teent-toont-teent-toont-teenooneenoonee
I've got it
I'll be sullen and withdrawn
I'll dwindle off into the twilight realm
Of my own secret thoughts
I'll lay on my back here 'til dawn
In a semi-catatonic state
And dream of guitar notes
That would irritate
An executive kinda guy...
Well, I guess that one did the trick
If they only coulda heard it
Half-a-dozen of 'em woulda strangled
While they was suckin' on each other's dick
But that was only a bunch of imaginary
Notes I played
Just a little extra somethin'
To keep me goin' from day to day

How much wattage do I need to play bass in a grunge band?

I got a 8x10 Acoustic cab from some guy on CL for dirt cheap, but I need a head. We have one guitarist who runs a 100 watt solid state half stack.
All these bassfags are telling me like 600-1200 watts like what the fuck. I remember gigging with 350 watts back in the day on bass with a loud guitarist and it was fine.

GOD DAMMIT I'M POOR I JUST NEED A CHEAP LOUD BASS HEAD.

>>72001524
Peavey and Crate are your friends.

>>72001524
300 will do you fine(though I don't know how loud that makes your particular speakers get), some people are just dumb. As long as you can play louder than the drummer, there's no reason to go louder. If they can't hear the drummer, you sound like shit. If the drummer is mic'd, so are you.

I kinda get guitarists exceeding these guidelines if they are using feedback a lot, but really all that gets you is like 2 feet further from your amp.

>>72001524

Old pic from when I had my pedals off my board for cleanup. I've changed the order since. I hate the harmonist, going to get rid of it. I'm going to sell the dd-6 as well. I love the fuck out of all the other pedals though.

Looking to add an el capistan or something similar in the future. Still researching though.

>>72001692
>I hate the harmonist, going to get rid of it.
You made a wise decision. Almost makes up for the shitty decision to buy it in the first place. I guess they can sound good in the music store though.

>I'm going to sell the dd-6 as well.
Why? It's a perfectly good digital delay, everyone needs a delay pedal don't they?

>>72001721
I usually have a pedal that I flip to try new stuff out. I just keep flipping it until I find something awesome, then pick another pedal to flip. Keeps things interesting. The harmonist was the most recent experiment and man does it suck ass. I'm not talented enough to make it sound good.

The dd-6 IS a perfectly good delay. As I said I'm probably going to replace it with another delay like the el capistan. I want the delays to degrade in a different way from how the dd-6 does. Digital is really pristine. That said if I was made of money I would keep it instead of selling it to upgrade.

>>71996322
I'm glad someone liked it. The neck is super nice to play on. The pickups are kind of compressed sounding, but I won't change them because it grew on me.
