>>72257018
The reason I would go with a LP over a C24 is that I want a guitar with Humbuckers and good sustain.

>good sustain

Why do people still think muh sustain matters? How long do you really want your guitar to sustain for? Do you write songs that call for a note to be sustained for longer than about a bar?

muh sustain is actually meaningless. It's something that all guitar manufacturers and pickup manufacturers can claim as a feature of their products without having to show any proof. And it's something that all guitar players are told they need. And very few of then question if they actually need it.

tl;dr - muh sustain = yet more marketing speak

I'm looking at getting an attenuator for my 22 watt valve amp. Seems like the Powerstation is the best one but it's pretty expensive. What are some other cheaper alternatives? What's worked out best for you guys live or for practice?

I just need the actual attenuation, some boost, some tone shaping, and a DI if possible. Other features are just a plus.

Am I really entering wanker territory just by playing fast, adding more notes or alternating between modes more oftenly? I do make my stops, my bendings, etc, but that doesn't mean I can't shred a bit if it fits the moment, right?

Every day that passes I am more convinced that "playing with feeling" is the meme of the century lazy guitarists use as an excuse for not practicing hard.

Please stop appending "attack" on the end, it sounds kind of autistic. "Argument(um) ad hominem" or just "ad hominem" are the proper ways to say it.

By the way, accusing somebody of committing an ad hominem fallacy when they've provided other points as an attempted rebuttal is retarded. Don't confuse simple insults with argumentum ad hominem; it's an important distinction.

Why does 9/10 people here play shitty small radius fender shit stains? Do you all have twink hands. There is literally no reason not to play a 7 or 8 string nowadays other than having little baby hands. You can have all the standard guitar features and sounds plus one or two more strings for fancy chord voicings and added range. I guess my hands are just bigger than average and most people are too small to handle a nice 7 string neck, I guess that's okay that most of you have to use twinkboy mustang and strat necks, I just wish you guys could play a guitar that doesn't completetly cut off and limit your playing. On the other hand considering you fell for the Fender or Gibson marketing saying that impiies their guitars are anything other than overpriced planks of nostalgia, you're probably all so musically illiterate that you only play hendrix and john mayer covers and couldn't even fathom the extended range. Sad

>>72271996
no you cant put the thumb over the neck the same with a 7+ strings

>>72271458
>id rather play an instrument than a meme
If only the rest of the thread could reach that level of mental maturity. It's like they took toddlers and gave them a list of buzz words as well as a list of things that they should dislike.

Don't get me wrong, there are many uses for guitar outside of whatever is trendy, but no one in this thread can see beyond popularity(be it right now or 30 years ago).

inb4 owners of pedal boards and mememachines call me a faggot for not using hair gel or wearing girl pants.

>>72272026
>limiting your stretching range and control because your fingers are to weak to bend strings without thumb support.

Like I said, twink handed faggots are the only people who don't play seven strings

>>72272026
I can on a 7, some 8s.

What's the secret behind huge sustain and fuzzy tones like Robert Fripp's solos and the solo in American Woman? Like I imagine it's just heavily compressed fuzz with the tone knob rolled off but the signal always drops out much earlier than what I'm expecting. Do I need a fuck heavy guitar like a Les Paul for more natural sustain or something?

>>72272145

>more strings=better music

Some days I feel like playing my 7-string, some days on my roommate's uke. Different setups produce different thought processes.

>>72272163
I just don't have one. It's actually one of the first guitars I wanted but never seemed to be able get one due to circumstances.

no bully

>>72271996
Shit, they can hardly figure out the notes across the neck on a 4 string bass, add 3+ more and their heads might explode(even though some may just be 2 octaves higher/lower than another string while retaining the same sequence of notes). I bet there's someone in this thread that actually has a cheat sheet taped to his guitar. There's at least a couple here that refer tp the low e as string number 1. Rather than relearning the right way they'll probably just start refering to the low b as "string negative 1."

>>72272195
>limiting yourself=better music
Tell about how theory stunts creativity

>>72272295
I'm literally arguing for having more options than just a 7/8 string guitar, you're the only limit fag here

>>72272145
Are you using an amp sim with a noise gate?

>>72272245
Exactly, they are retards that learn scales based on shapes they find on the internet and are blown away when they have to add another string to that. Also they probably lack the technical ability to avoid playing the low B when alt picking the low E string for 6 string songs

>>72272311
A 7/8 string is a literally a 6 string with more range and no downsides. Only owning 6 strings a liabilty, only owning 7 strings isn't. You can do anything you can on a 6 string on a 7 string plus more

>>72272315
Actually yes, I live in an apartment so that's the most feasible setup I could make. I realize not having natural feedback makes it harder.

I haven't been to these generals in over a year, has it seriously gotten this worse? They were already terrible.

>>72258032
That was all done with reverb?

>>72272367
That's your entire issue. Try taking off the noise gate, or lowering the threshold. The noise gate that comes standard with amp sims is one that simply opebs and closes the output signal altogether, once volume drops it cuts everything out(not just noise). With a fuzz or similar high gain effect your noisefloor should be pretty low when playing, hardly noticeable when actually playing. And pick the closest fuzz to a bmp or similar, fuzz face or similar 2 transistor fuzzes won't be able to give you the necessary gain. Bmp and clones will usually be 3 knobbed, volume/output, tone/voice, sustain/fuzz/gain. Fuzz faces will geberally be 2. If it has an octave function it's probably a tone machine, which can get pretty raunchy like a muff. I don't know what software you're using, some effects will be licensed with the official name and some will just have a name that implies it's based off a certain box. Things like the ampeg scrambler or proco rat might work, but they're not "traditional" fuzz boxes.

>>72272348
Why are you lumping 7 and 8 strings together? By your logic, no one should have a 7 string guitar, because 8 strings are better.

Better yet -- why not get a 9-string guitar?

>>72272603
No massed produced 9 strings with anime girls on them. How new are you?

>>72272603
9 strings = MAN HANDS
7/8 strings = Average hands
6 string = twink hands

It wouldn't be fair to lump in guitars that actually are harder to play and have downsides to the average man. There is a valid excuse for not using a 9 string like not being mass produced and being slightly uncomfortable. 7 and 8 strings however are literally inexcusable not to use

>>72270988
Break the measure up into parts. The classic is two dotted quarter notes and two quarter notes like the Mission Impossible theme. A simple way I like to play in 5/4 is arpeggiating chords thinking in terms of 6 eighth notes followed by 4 eighth notes

>>72272535
It was always this bad. There were just more people before that tried to be identified(known, /gg/ famous) and as such wouldn't act as retarded. Now they're gone, the last 3 were some fat dude who played bass, some weird brazilian spammer who records kiss covers, and froosh(and all his personalities) who just likes to upset people.

But it's the same bickering that's always been here. Uninformed, arrogant, closed minded, contrarian, opinionated dribble. there's just no one really begging for attention and putting on their best face to do so. It makes it look worse, bit the quality is basically the same.

>>72272679
what about 12 strings?

>>72272800
You go from twink to twink from the 70s, you like the thicker neck because it's more reminiscent of a fat dick than a guitar neck. Similar reason to why 10% of people prefer vintage fender necks, because they're closet honosexuals.

Also limiting yourself because bends and vibrato basically become useless.

Personally I'm more familiar with cheap guitar brands than good ones. Also pretty much every large brand seems to make at least one crappy model to cash in on their brand name. But some brands I would look at are agile and reverend. Reverend have great tone for those who don't want to select their own pickups, and agile has rock solid guitars that play like silk, with cheap placeholder pickups.

Sorry I don't know that many high quality brands. There's a few other really nice brands I do like that just don't have good enough value for me to recommend them.

Buy a Gibson used. Epiphones are of definitely lower quality, I would know. Gibson Les Pauls, though, are great things. I have a slightly modded BFG and I love it.

>>72257435
>Why do people still think muh sustain matters? How long do you really want your guitar to sustain for?

You would know if you've played a guitar with good sustain before.

I've modded my Les Paul and retrofitted a tremolo bar on it, it was cool, but one of the things it affected was sustain. And once you have bad sustain, you come to understand and appreciate good sustain.

tl;dr you're a pleb, go practice more guitar.

>>72257754
>$500

If you really believe this you are very wrong.
Diminishing returns starts at about a grand, though I'm more talking about the Epiphone-Gibson spectrum, and only about new guitars. You can get a decent, good guitar for $500 but almost definitely only secondhand. If you want choice and customization you gotta pay more for sure.

nigga customization is free. Here's a guide on how to get the world's best Les Paul for under $500:
>buy $300-400 neck through rondo agile
>buy $5 adjustable temperature soldering iron(includes solder)
>buy cheap or expensive alnico pickups depending on your level of autism ($60-200)

Or, if you don't trust chinks to level your frets for you:
>buy some POS that doesn't neck whip($150-300)
>buy crowning file, sand paper, Carpenter's level($40)
>do all the pickup stuff($65-205)

>>72275227
Since you're just starting, get a cheap interface and use free amp software, then use the money you saved from not buying an amp for a better guitar.

Thank me later.

>>72275275
>$400+$200+$205+time wasted= $800+++
at that point you might as well buy a used studio lp and be done with it

>>72275303
What I'd recommend instead of this is to get a 15 or 10 watt marshall combo off Craigslist, then just sell it when you are ready to upgrade. Simpler than using an interface, and costs zero (0) dollars if you sell for what you bought the amp for.

>>72275251
Fuck I dunno. I was looking at the exact one in OPs pic. The epiphone one, but everyone shat all over it so I stared leaning towards a fender strat cause it was my brothers first guitar

>>72275259
What's wrong exactly?

>>72275303
>>72275227

>>72275354
Don't listen to this fag. You can get lots of different tones with amp software, while you can only get two shitty ones with a 15 watt amp.

It will only sound good if you're into jazz and that's all you play. Don't be a stratfag.

>>72275102
This is one those things that makes me feel dumb for not thinking of it. I'll do something like this for now. That bald dude always seems to know his stuff so I'll trust that it sounds good.

I do have to buy a pedal to do this trick though... don't have a pedal that could work as a master volume.

>>72275348
no, it's $400 +$100
OR
$300 + 200
OR
$200 + 40 + 205

+ time "wasted"

I'm trying to give you guys some options. Anyways, this is supposed to get you a perfect guitar with exactly the sound you want, not some cheap ass Gibson that's been through the wringer.

In my honest opinion OP, I'd strongly suggest looking into the Ibanez ARZ. I might get some shit for it in this post, but to date the ARZ is probably one of the better sounding for the lower price, as Ibanez has always been known for in my opinion. I've been playing their AR and ARZ Guitars on the regular for a solid 5 years and they've yet to let me down.

>>72275463
or you could get a used lp studio for $500 off craigslist and get busy learning to playing instead of wasting time polishing a turd

>>72275443
Your other option is to buy a potentiometer and solder it up. Could be a fun project if you're into that kind of thing.

>>72275525
I just so happen to have a potentiometer lying around lol. That could be a fun project. Get some practice with my soldering iron.

>>72275524
Buying a clearly superior neck through and swapping the pickups takes a max 30 minutes of your time and sounds better than a studio LP.

A $500 studio LP on Craigslist is going to have issues, 90% of the time. Which should I do, spend months combing Craigslist for a guitar, or order a guitar and pickups delivered to my door in a couple weeks while I sit on my ass.

Forgive me for being retarded. I'm just getting more into playing guitar. What electric guitars are the go to for playing various styles of music. Should I stay away from Epiphones and Fenders?

First of all, you can play anything on any guitar.

But, if you want to get the most sounds, get something with more than one kind of pickup. Some combination of humbucker(s), p90(s), and single coils.
