Anyone here play dobro or other lap steels? been thinking of buying a squareneck lately, but there isn't much to try out in my area

How to get my strat to sound like a good strat
I put some 57/62 replicas on it and it sounded weak and lacking, and had some real ear piercing highs.

Because i that i swapped them for some overwound single coils. Like that Fender's srv Texas pickup, but even heavier. Shit has bass now.
But most of the quack is gone, that nice bright top end is gone and its full of muddy mids and high mids.

What do? Order some 57/62 that slighly overwound that gives bass but doesnt cut all the quack?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_CJIqPMyBs
This was recorded with a 62 reissue Japanese strat, how did they get this bassy, rich sound?
Other strats ive played with regular vintage pickups dont sound like that song. They sound ear piercing and thin like mine did, but not weak and lacking, and could probably result on that tone after recording and mixing.

>>72240392
hows a dobro? a regular guitar thats worked to sound more like a lapsteel/pedalsteel?

>>72240403
Get a good amp, learn to EQ and realize that the whole point of using a strat is the "twang".

>>72240403
Use a good tube amp with slight break-up, use neck pickup and vol+tone controls on your guitar. Also fingers

>>72240192
Can anyone recommend a good routine for learning barre chords? Been trying for a while, but was using heavy strings. Swapped them out for thinner strings now, so hopefully that'll help. I've made a fair bit of progress so far but I'd appreciate something that would help fine tune. Thanks.

>>72240231
Sam you really need to get a life

>>72240416
Dobro is actually a brand name (kind of like Kleenex) that's become the generic term for acoustics with resonator cones, often built specifically for playing with a steel or slide. Mostly used in country/folk bullshit.

It's basically an earlier version of electric steel guitar, and the technique is similar to nonpedal steel.

>>72240454
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrlF4Tc8qC8

>>72240486
Thanks mate

>>72240403
It's probably your amp. Texas Specials should sound pretty close to that clip.

>>72240424
I tried boosting bass on my amp, and with amplitube and its EQ pedal, and it didnt help. At times it sounded bassy, but not with actual body.

I'm trying to find an old recording i did of the 57/62 sounding thin even with bass boost.

>>72240443
The tube break up actually helped to increase bass and body

>>72240454
For now, focus on barreing the first 3 strings only. Find a up/down spot with your index finger to match the finger bones on the strings. Also experiment with positioning the fingers

>>72240503
Mine arent actual Texas Specials, its similar but even more overwound and with different materials. This is the pickup model https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIin1JJgifc
I got it to get rid of the earpiecing highs and it actually rolled all the bright twang away
Maybe if i just get a Texas Specials set it would do already

>>72240481

>Holdsworth died yesterday

>>72241731
Been listening to him all day, forgot how ridiculous he was. His 70s stuff is especially remarkable since he was using the basic guitar into overdriven amp rock tone of the tone of the time.

>>72241836
Quite impressive how smooth his legato was with so little gain

>>72241621
Nice. I've thought about doing something like that someday, but I'm also pretty happy with what I have right now. I've got an old Gibson lap steel from the late 40s/early 50s that plays decent and sound great. Sorta of similar in shape to the design you posted.

I just want one because I always play slide in standard tuning but I'd like to give open C6 a try. I hate retuning guitars so the lap steel would be the experimental tuning machine.

>>72242148
C6 is cool but has kind of a steep learning curve, especially if you're getting into slants and so on. But well worth it if you're into Hawaiian and early country.

I own about half of those books and I think it's good they're available. But I also wouldn't be opposed to switching some out with better material. Mickey Baker's Jazz Guitar is really outdated, and everyone should have a copy of the Berklee Guitar Method.

>>72243125
I actually think the same, but I don't know much about modern jazz methods.
What would you put instead of Baker's jazz?

It's quite funny you say that, because I just read on another site that Baker's book is more "beginner friendly". I will definitely check out Jody Fisher's book tho. I saw some of his videos, and the concepts he covered were quite good.

Hey /gg/

So the guitar below is my mexican Stratocaster SSS

I am very happy with every aspect of it apart from one and that is when I play with gain/distortion.

It just sounds very cheap and "thin"

I love the clean sound of a singlecoil but I think I need a humbucker to get that dirty "punk" sound that I like.

Could someone maybe show me a pickup that fits my criterea?

I have only been playing for 7 months to please go easy on me.

I got a metronome app with a timer on it and it's making me realize I practice a lot less than I think I do. I though I'd done a lot of metronome practice today but I've only actually done 30 minutes.

>>72243496
>the guitar below is my mexican Stratocaster SSS
There is no guitar below this post

>>72243496
If you can't get a punk tone out of anything, you can't play worth shit
which is even more ironic when punks can't play

>>72243422
Yeah, I hear a lot of praise for Baker, but I just didn't get as much out of it as others. It's heavy on demonstration and teaching by example. It gives you specific chords, substitutions, licks, etc. to play but only scratches the surface on theory. (either it assumes you know it, or very vaguely explains things).

Mostly it feels like you're learning to "sound" like a jazz guitarist but not learning to "think" like one. It's pretty hard to go in your own direction from what you're given.

Fisher starts with theory/concepts and then goes into examples, and for me that helped build on them on my own. I feel like it does a better job of helping people "think" in a jazz sense, and develop their own ideas and sound.

>>72243496

-git gud
-don't think about new guitar, mexistrat is fine, try some other distortion pedals

>>72243496
What amp are you playing through

>>72243646
do you think maybe I should go with a fuzz pedal?

I have heard it sounds better with single coils.

maybe the big muff.

>>72240192
I have tried every truss adjustment, but I can't get rid of fret buzz when playing power chords.

>>72243697
I have a Fender Mustang I V2

I now it's pretty shit but I like having access to all effects with fuse.

>>72243496
Any humbucker will do, just get some shit from GFS or Dragonfire, will be about the same as Dimarzio/Seymour Duncan.

>>72243645
That sounds perfect for me, to be able to "think" like a musician/jazz player. I am guilty of doing mindless noodling on the guitar, and that sets me back quite a bit. Thanks anon for introducing me to a great book.

>>72243704

fuzz is great, but not a punk tone per se. fuzz is more hendrix, sabbath, stoner rock tone. big muff is more of a fuzz-flavoured distortion pedal than a true fuzz, but totally worth it. go try some out at your local guitar shop. (also try out a proco rat and a boss ds-1)

>>72243738
>I guarantee you any punk guitarist would blow you and your gc guitar of the month les paul out of the water
let me just quickly quote someone
>>its another '/gg/ accuses others of not being able to play' episode

Punk is one of the easiest genres to play. If not the easiest one of all.

>>72243724

no cap in this world will help you with that amp

>>72243754
Glad to help man. The "intermediate" book in the series was especially helpful for me because it goes in-depth on phrasing and improvisation in a way many books don't.

>>72243786
Stop being an elitist faggot then. Just because you can throw down some chuck berry lick with the guitar behind your back doesn't mean that playing 3 power chords makes you any worse. Styles are different and if you think someone like greg ginn or pat smear are bad guitarists then you would be wrong

Clearly you don't understand that punk riffs are based around quick short chords that get to the point. Go back to your smiths pretension fan club and whine about not being able to come up with anything because theory won't let you write anything you like

Just because it's too hard to grasp for you doesn't mean it's technically demanding.

>>72244036
It just breaks things down in very specific ways. Has you phrase based on specific notes from the progression, makes you aware of rhythmic placement, and so on.

Basically just made me more mindful of the process and gave me some structure, instead of aimless, endless noodling.

Because they have shit taste in music and eventually realize how shit and easy metal is. They assume that jazz will make them look like they can actually play music. Same thing with classical. They're more interested in the idea of looking like a good musician than being one.

Hey nerds. I'm starting to research classical/nylon string guitars so I can upgrade from my CG101 that I got in high school 8 years ago.

What are some nylon acoustic guitar memes that should be avoided? I won't get a cutaway so you skip that. I assume wood choice will actually matter a lot more than electric. Is that the case? Do I really need to care about how the bracing is set up and other details like that? Good brands? I'm looking to get an all solid wood guitar if I can.

I'm researching on my own but it would be nice to hear some opinions. Pic unrelated.

>>72246180
the more broken trems in the world the better

>>72246180
Doesn't look broken.Too much tension from the trem springs.

flip it over, take off the back cover and loosen the screws holding the trem claw. If you have to, remove a spring or change the arrangement of the springs to loosen it further.

Once it's level, retune. Rinse and repeat until it's solid and stays in tune. Look up a video too. That'll help.

Rec. me a good solid state amp I could get used under $200

I've learned a lot of what I know from Justin so I support that being there for sure. I do think Hal Leonard is kind of shit though

What's a good single coil guitar? I have a les paul right now and I'm looking for something that can deal with thick effects better (from what I have heard singles do this better than humbuckers)

Think I'm gonna go with this old Bandit. Some guy on CL wants $60 for it and has barely ever used it.

>>72250172
I use a Fender Champion 40 for a practice amp, you can find them for under around $150-160 used. Personally I think it's great for the money, has some very good sounds. I'd recommend checking it out.

>>72250238
Depends what you're looking for. I guess the obvious answer would be a strat

>>72250317
Play it for a few years and resell. That's pretty much a free practice amp.

<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!

well, i did learn her jack johnson song really quick and play it for her. i mean, its fun playing with other people even if it's not necessarily music I listen to or would make, plus she is a pretty good singer, but the whole thing was pretty unfulfilling. I guess it was good experience though, I'm mostly just complaining because we didn't hump.

I've had kinda similar experiences with other guitarists too now that i think about it, guys who only want jam out to Hendrix etc all day

I don't think that but I do think that anyone who likes to play music is a musician. There's no sense in treating it as some exclusive club with completely ambiguous requirements for entry.

Squier and Epiphone are only good if you plan to spend less than 200. For 400 just check what Schecter has.

>>72251982
i do think people should walk away from experiences with some kind of token to remind them later that it happened, no matter how seemingly banal or insignificant it is, even if they were a mediocre participant in whatever it was.
you might've hated that year you played little league baseball when you were 12 because you sucked or because your parents made you, but that experience had some kind of effect on you and the people who were there with you, good or bad, and that's worth being reminded of because it's influenced who you are today, whether you realize it or not. if some lame participation trophy does that for you, or for anybody for that matter, then i say it's maybe not such a bad thing

You need a real amp. You have a practice amp. A pickup swap is not what you want.

>>72252925
I have to agree with this guy. Perfecting vibrato takes much considerable skill than sweeping, this is actually the reason why most guitarist can't sound like BB King even when using an identical gear/setup like his whereas any guitarist can sound like some famous guy who does sweeping (I really don't know any famous metal guitarist) just after a couple of months of practice.

Where exactly do I start with learning music theory? I've been playing guitar for years and I'm decent enough but I've been having a real hard time coming up with anything decent lately. It feels impossible to create a unique melody that sounds good. I always avoided music theory because I can never find a starting point and it feels overwhelming.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnGp2o7GCfE

Someone please link a non-metal solo that is harder to play than this

>>72255254
In my experience, the best way for guitarists to start with developing their theory knowledge is to build off of what they already know. I'm sure you know how to play a major scale, so go from there and learn the seven modes derived from the major scale, then how to build chords based off of those modes. Google "diatonic theory" to get started.

>>72255298
Do improvised solos count? Because it seems like metal is the only genre which places a high premium on rehearsed, incredibly technical solos. I can think of several improvised solos that are more difficult than this, although they're all by fusion guys and were probably improvised in the studio since they aren't duplicated live. Anything by Guthrie Govan, Shawn Lane, or Allan Holdsworth would fit the bill.

Otherwise, probably the most technical non-metal guitarist I know of that can replicate his studio-recorded solos live is Nels Cline of Wilco.

>>72255526
depending on model, Mexican strats may have ceramic bar magnet pickups. These can sound nice in some settings but it is a big difference and not really the strat sound. But honestly, if you're considering a mexi strat might as well get an SX RST. The only real reason to buy a fender strat is for the peen.

Try them out. I find that the MIA I tried sounded muddier and less pleasant than the MIM I tried, and it felt worse. It will vary between models.

Alright /gg/, I'm looking for an amp and I don't care much about it other than it has to be loud and cheap. I don't even know what music I want to really do at this point, just something that can make noise, and won't limit me in any way.
That said I also hate modelling settings and cheap on board effects because they seem tacked on, but of course I won't care if it has it I just wouldn't use it.
I was thinking something like a fender twin but I was looking at a 40w Fender hot rod deluxe and it seemed loud enough turned up, only the clean could have been louder.
I'm looking to play anything from noise rock to sludge to shoegaze, whatever. Could you help me out?

ok, not to meme (because i actually started this meme, idk if its still going), but the blues junior is actually not a bad amp for the stuff you need.

>>72256358

>>72256435

maybe... i've never had that experience.

but what else are you going to find for 500 bux that sounds decent and can fill a room?

unless you want to go the modelling amp route...

>>72256648
500 bucks?

Literally any 50w tube combo that is used.

>>72256648
Wang 1 watt or some other small guitar head or preamp into a peavey basic 60 or some other cheap, loud SS amp.

>>72256668
If you get singles, you still have the him cancelling in-between position(s) for gain-ey stuff. I think if this is your first guitar, single coils will offer a bit more versatility. You can bet there are humbucker and single coil tones in any genre.

253KB, 1024x1363px

>>72256935
when people say 'learn intervals' what they're really saying is

>go get a guitar teacher, then practice 14 hours a day for 2 years until you know the intervals been all the notes in all the keys AND all the blues/rock n roll licks they're used in better than you know your own cock

and why do they say this?

because the question is always some stupid shit like

>how do i get good at guitar
>i just learned X, what should i work on next
>how do i learn to play guitar like X
>i just got a guitar because X, how should i start
>i'm just getting back into guitar because of X, how should i start

>>72256935
Knowing intervals helps you play what you're imagining. Rather than just being in key, you are more aware of the feeling of each note. At least, that's the main thing I get from it. For example, I want to emphasize the major or minor sound of a chord, so I play a 3rd.

Might just be me though. Also, keeps you from getting lost on the fretboard.

I love the sound of a guitar playing the same thing simultaneously distorted, and clean. How can I achieve this WITHOUT splitting the signal and buying a second amp?

>>72257062
there's various pedals that blend in the distortion. You can also split the signal and send one end to the pre and one bypassing it, then combine the signals into the power section. You can also cut certain bands of your guitar with EQ before the preamp then boost them back up afterwards.

you get a proper valve amp and set it on the edge of breakup

then when you dig in with your right hand, you'll get distortion. if you pick lightly, you'll be clean

>>72257186
But I want both at the same time, potentially high distortion combined with clean.

>>72257102
Fuck you're right, I didn't even consider bypassing the preamp. Guess buffer / splitter pedals are the next thing I'll make then.

>>72257186
man, that's not what he's asking.

Also for the last time you can do this with any clipping diode, if anything it's easier with solid states which generally distort more suddenly.
