I'm poor. I don't really need a new guitar.
Also I really like Toastin Abrasive so I might buy his sig instead if I ever get the money.

anons anybody got recommendations for good songs for relative beginners to learn? I've been in kind of a lull in figuring out good songs to learn

Why would you want humbuckers for Telecaster? Is it just for metal and such?

>>72217143
The Stooges- I wanna Be Your Dog

>>72217168
Probably to buck hum.

>>72217168
I've seen a metal band use a regular tele on one song yesterday. The other guitarist had a Mayones but even when he did the solo, it sounded pretty solid. Having a solid bass take up the low end probably helped that.

what guitar strings should i buy?

i really liked the fender strings that came on my strat, and i assume they were 9 gauge.
but i think i'll try 10 gauge next?

im not poor so i just want some that feel good to play, not ones that are built to last forever

>>72218024
>what guitar strings should i buy?
>i'm not poor
my answer: buy them all

try each set and gauge until you find the ones you like

>>72218067
okay.. where shall i start? i often hear elixer are the best

>>72218092
just get a pack of ernie balls, the yellow ones, if youre just starting

no reason to own elixirs at your point in the game

>>72218092
you'll hear a lot of (biased) things m8
doesn't really matter where you start if you're going to be trying them all.

The bad, almost anything can stick through the soles, a stick, an acorn.

Great for the house, not so much the yard. Best for driving though.

I always bring an axe with me. Usually they'll want you to check it because of the size but if the plane isn't packed they'll let you carry it on.

If you aren't willing to check your guitar and carry on a small bag of clothes you probably aren't a guitarfag.

Lol use a dry cloth unless you like rusty strings. Rubbing alcohol is ok if you dont apply it directly, but dab some on a cloth.

I saw this thread earlier but I missed the "RIP ALLAN" part, and holy fuck just saw online he did in fact pass away.

I had just missed my opportunity to see him live like two weeks ago, his online presence was fucked so I never heard about the show until a week after it happened. I knew he was in bad health but I wanted to see him live since he still blows most guitarists out of the water even in his weakened state.

Sterets, the sterile alcohol swabs. Great for cleaning strings, fingerboards, bodies, injection sites, model train tracks (apparently) but they make your room smell like a hospital

>>72221324
i don't know man, i find his stuff to be pretty melodic and catchy, sometimes specific passages get stuck in my brain and play over and over for long periods of time.

>>72221324
Really? I'm always amazed when people can listen to that stuff, it just sends me to sleep. I can appreciate he was a great musician but I just can't listen to his music. To me it just sounds like the very worst excesses of self-indulgent soulless Roland product demonstraters, like someone's pressed the demo button on a 1980s synth. Not my thing at all. Too many notes.

his chordal stuff is interesting. i have to be in a certain type of mood to listen to holdsworth, i can't just throw his stuff on because it just gets annoying after like 10 minutes

>>72221865
The coil tapping fade thing is nice, though I still think switches for parallel and a bass contour is a better solution to get that kind of flexibility. Honestly it's one of my favorite fender guitars, but I still wouldn't get it because of the scale length. Also it would be nice to have a roller bridge at that price. Really just adds a tiny bit more consistency to a trem.

>>72222194
>one of my favorite fender guitars, but I still wouldn't get it because of the scale length

Jaguars summed up in one sentence. If they redesigned them with a 25.5 inch scale I'd be all over it like a rash, as it is they feel like a kid's toy to me

>If they redesigned them with a 25.5 inch scale I'd be all over it like a rash

Nah, I'd want the single coil Jag pickups. Maybe even three of them.

I spend more time searching for perfect string action than playing

>>72222268

then i up the string height until the intonation gets right

>>72222890
i hate buzz more than any thing but I can't stand high tension strings

>>72222872
I'd rather have a noiseless strat pickup in the middle. That would be pretty groovy, and I could wire the in between positions to be hum cancelling.

>>72222945
>>72223004
also what do you mean by tension. raising action doesnt increase tension

>>72223004
are there any downsides to this?

>>72223038
i adjust the truss rod

>>72222954
No you couldn't. Common mode rejection, both pickups have to make the same noise in antiphase for it to be noise cancelling. If you add a non-RWRP to a noiseless pickup then you just get the noise of the non-RWRP. Like adding a single coil pickup to a humbucker.

Sounds like >>72223593 is right. You're clearly either lacking relief, or your frets are busted.

>>72223628
Depends on the action, but if you're getting excessice fret buzz at very high action then your frets likely need to be dressed properly or your neck is fucked

>>72223672
Fuck off I'm not that bad. My point was that even though I'm not a particularly skilled player I don't get much fret buzz even with a reasonably low action.

So Ernie Balls are shit taste now?
I have 12 guitars I'm not gonna fucking buy $20 strings for all of them.

So what am I supposed to use then? Fucking D'addario? No thanks.

>>72224605
stainless strings. last longer than elixiers and are brighter and richer sounding

my chord progressions have come further, but this is an example of the type of lead I always seem to play

https://clyp.it/wc1ruxzg

I don't know anything about theory or know how to read music, so I don't know what scale I always end up soloing in but it's pretty much this. is there any way to improve the way I play lead and write in general without just practicing scales all the time

>>72223279

D'Addario are good, though. They don't fucking break and they come in every variety you could want. They might cost more than Ernie ball but they last longer. Sure, my ideal string brand would be one that advertised less, cuz then the strings would be way cheaper, but I haven't found a brand that offers as many options and makes them as tough. If I could find one that made something close to pic related that could last as long, I'd switch.

>>72224655
Your phrasing is pretty good. Not groundbreaking but pleasing. Take a step back and understand the notes you're playing in each chord, and implement those into your lead playing. Doesn't need to be completely rigid, but implementing those extra notes will give you a lot more flexibility and tonal interest.

>>72224711
There have been at least 4 anons over the last couple years that couldn't play power chords.

There was one who said every note he played sounded bad. He said at first he thought if he practiced he'd sound better, then like 6 months later he thought it was his guitar, then after he got a new guitar he still sounded bad. It was finally figured out, he was pressing down directly on the frets.

I'd pay 5 grand to see showtime at the Apollo: /gg/ edition

It's amateur hour every hour.

Hi /gg/

I've only ever had combo amps (I have a boss Katana-50 at the moment) and I want to get in to pedals and making great sounds.

I have about $500 to drop on a bunch of pedals but no idea where to start.

Is it worth buying 6 or so mini pedals from a brand like eno or tone city or something so I get some variety?
Is there any reason I should buy $100-$200 pedals for things like distortion and overdrive?

>>72227555
>Is it worth buying 6 or so mini pedals from a brand like eno or tone city or something so I get some variety?

<one minute long 12 bar blues pentatonic rock intro>
What's up everyone it's Rob Chapman. Today we'll be demoing the Line 6 Spider VI™ modeling amplifier. I've got my Chapman Guitars BR00TALDJ3NT here with the optional extra noisy EMGs and double pointy headstock. Let's check out how it sounds on the clean channel.
<pentatonic blooz wankery>
Very good, nice low end. Let's try a bit more gain.
<bad ACDC riffs>
Alright, now let's turn it all the way up.
<fizzy mid-scooped official Dorje™ riffs>
Very nice. Now let's check out the onboard effects, staring with the reverb. This is a copy of the Ibenis SuperVerb which was released in 1969 and which had a limited run of 69.
<barely audible echo applied to generic 4 chord strumming>
They've replicated the sound of the SuperVerb perfectly! Not that you have a way to judge.
And now the phaser. This is a copy of the Boss PH-01, a garbage tier phaser produced in the 80's until it was dropped due to low demand.
<air raid sirens>
Very nice indeed! Let's look at the included distortion and overdrive next. Line 6 created a nearly perfect copy of the Boss Metal Zone on this amp, including the nearly unusable controls and the fizzy, useless sound it creates. The distortion is a copy of the Dumble DS-1, a Boss distortion pedal that was once within a mile of a Dumble knockoff sold on Craigslist by a crackhead. With such a premium sound to live up to, the amp does well beyond my expectations.
<palm-muted power chords>
<distorted palm-muted power chords>
<overdriven palm-muted power chords>
And that's all for the Line 6 Spider VI™! You can get this amp directly from Anderton's for the low price of $299.99. See you next time!

How do I take the bridge off my jazzmaster? I can't tell what kind of screws are used to keep it in place therefore i dont know what screw driver to use

>>72227555
just get a boss gt-100 and go from there

>>72227555
Buy small cheap pedals if it's stuff like modulation just to try out and eventually upgrade. Most of the time you'll only need a little sample of it in your playing like a Chorus or delay pedal. Go big on an OD/Disto/Fuzz and try out if possible, these get used heavily on my rig and I was really picky about my Fuzz and OD. I'd say Spend $300 on two OD/Fuzz/Disto and the rest $200 on modulation, but you can easily get a really good Reverb/Delay for under $200 like a Boss RE-20 or Foxpedal The Wave

get one used, they're way cheaper on eBay. Also don't get too caught up in the amp sims. You already have an amp, and the GT shines as a stompbox emulator.

I'm gonna suggest that you don't drop a bunch of money on pedals all at once, and instead only buy what you see yourself needing in the songs you write.

Anyone here from SHREVEPORT LOUISIANA?

>>72237208
I kind of like it just because I'm also running an Ursa into a peavey, but seeing as it's a keyboard amp and I don't have stock pups, I doubt there is much similarity in tone. Anyways from what I know about your stuff I bet it sounds really good. I would rather a 4x10 than a 8x10 any day, though. Well, I guess I can see tat the fridge would sound better for at home use.

very good to sleep and have dreams
i just dreamed kiss did a reunion tour and played my city. met gene on the bus to the concert and he pat my back and said "if you need that gigbag to get gud tone you better play that guitar until that bag is all ragged up"
then i went to the concert and ace frehley signed my amp (he refused to sign my lp copy)
then when i was about to jam with them backstage i woke up

Getting coated strings as a beginner is better, since you most likely won't change them as often and with coated strings you really don't have to.

>>72218092
Elixirs used to be good but their quality dropped. They start fraying really fast and they often break from the bridge end of the string.
After 5 years of playing elixir .11's I switched to D'Addario NYXL's. They don't last as long as Elixirs due to not being coated, but they don't break as often, they sound better and stay in tune better.

>>72224108
wash your hands before playing and wipe the strings afterwards.

>>72237640
>wash your hands before playing and wipe the strings afterwards.
i did

>>72237640
whats better on that NYXL than regular daddarios XL

>>72237659
get some Strets alcohol swabs, run them over the strings when you're done playing

>>72237682
do these clothes come embed in alcohol from the box?

>>72237677
They're made from a different steel alloy that's stronger than on regular strings
Haven't tried XL's so I can't compare the two

>>72237781
>enhanced steel
ayy
do you also drink gourmet water?

>>72237803
There are different steel alloys that have different properties, it's a fact, not a gimmick and it's not comparable to drinking meme water

From my personal experience on same gauges as other strings they've held up better.
Never broken a string since I switched over to NYXL's

I've used Ernie Balls for 30 years plus, whenevr I try other strings I always end up coming back to Ernie Balls. And I'm way past giving a shit what other people tell me I should be using.

low action cause the guitar to have a snappy and thin sound
high action sounds fat, resonant and ringing

>>72238469
Ernie Ball quality has gone way down in the last decade or so.

When i first started, i used them because those were just about the only strings that my local music shop had in stock (because they tailored more towards "band" instruments than hobby instruments). I could go months on end of absolute abuse and torture and they would hold up.

these days it's about a week or so before the non-wound strings start to get grimy and gross, and it seems like they last maybe about a month or so before one inevitably breaks while tuning (because they apparently can never stay in tune, even on a guitar with proper setup).

Use them if you want, but i'm just saying i've noticed a huge dip in quality over time which has me looking elsewhere for strings
