Often times I find myself thinking about guitars themselves and how to modify them more than actually playing.

Wat do?

>>72371374
i eventually reached an end point where a friend and i completely modded the fuck out of a squier i had to the point of retardation and its actually one of my main guitars now. after that i was finally able to focus on my playing lol

>>72371443
I have heavily modified several guitars. Doing that to cheap shitty guitars is my pastime.
I've done so many and I just want to keep doing it. I'd like to do it and sell them after so that I can make some money back but I always grow fond of them and decide to keep them.

Post pics of yours?

>>72369299
1. You're right
2. Fuck you
Pumpkin spice lattes are delicious and guitars are fun. Ugg boots are trash though.

>>72369299
What's the female equivalent of actually being good at guitar though

>>72371904
PSLs are bad and you should feel bad

cafe au lait is the correct way to consume coffee

>>72371374
I think all of us have this problem. It's so much easier to spend hours browsing guitar forums, watching youtube guitarists talk shop, checking out reviews of equipment, coveting guitars and amps we don't have, etc. than it is to actually practice.

I'm starting to think the ultimate "get good at guitar" rig would be an empty room (that doesn't get wifi) with one guitar, one little solid state amp, and a metronome. That's it.

Everything else is distraction and masturbation when it comes to improving.

>>72371966
wearing ugg boots and enjoying PSLs but also being a well-rounded and intelligent girl who doesn't instagram her basic shit

>>72371974
A lot of people will say that it's better to start with electric than acoustic because it's easier, but I tend to think the opposite--fewer gimmicks, fewer accessories, fewer things to distract you from getting the fundamentals down.

>>72369299
Owning a guitar is the equivalent. Everyone I know owns a guitar but I only know one or two people that actually play it

>>72372053
In my experience even very skilled guitar players are a dime a dozen

>>72372101
In my experience the vast majority of players stop advancing after they learn the basics, a handful of songs they like, and one hard song.

Of course because playing guitar is so common, the small percentage of players who become very skilled are still a very large group.

>>72372205
Sounds about right. Most people just don't know how to practice and don't stay consistent. I had a roommate once with a gorgeous black American Standard strat, maple neck. Covered in dust because he never practiced and could barely remember the chords to Creep; he was too busy playing video games all day to even set aside 15 minutes a day to keep up with music.

>>72372240
After practicing, I think the most neglected skill is songwriting. Go into any guitar center and you'll see people shredding better than 90% of successful players in popular bands, but no one really cares about your skills unless you can actually create something with them.

And the percentage of the general public who even notice or care about how good a guitar player might be forms an even smaller percentage. People want to hear good songs with intelligent lyrics, not 30-minute guitar wank solos.

You don't need a Deluxe, you only ever need a US Standard or a US Professional or whatever they call them now, the cheapest US made model.

The S1 switch is a total waste of time, it makes a Strat sound like mud. I've got one on my HSS Strat and I never use it. Plus it looks like some cheap piece of plastic shit from a 1970s washing machine.

There's your problem. Any seven or 8 string under a thousand is a crap shoot/total shit. Maybe you should look at an Ibanez Iron Label or lower end prestige if you want a good 8.

You could just not string 2 strings. Or shit in your hand and rub it on your chest.

Kai's lead playing is in E mixolydian here, sounds like he's playing with a bit of chorus and delay or reverb on it so it's got a pretty cool, spacey vibe.

I was the same way with breaking out of playing in minor shapes, and I started doing all my leads in major. Definitely use it as a jumping off point for learning all the modes. If you get stuck playing in major you'll start sounding like every Satrianicore band out there.

>>72371974
you're right, it is much easier to watch stuff and get "distracted" by it. the way i see it for me, there's so much information at hand that i don't know where to start. i've been on and off on guitar for 7 years and i'm regretting not having dedicated myself to it. it's the lack of guidance and the abundance of information and the lack of motivation to lock myself in my room and just practice.

>>72373051
>I bought an 8 string guitar and it's shit. What can I do with it apart from beat myself and hang myself with the strings?
Don't do that, there wouldn't be enough distance to break your neck. You won't be able to use the thinner strings anyways.

Tune it BEADGBEA, get more useable range. Get a chapman stick next time you wand bass strings on a guitar.

>>72374184
Getting strings you can use for the high A is a massive amd expensive pain in the ass. I'd do it if it wasn't.

I win this one, no picture but I have a "Memphis Stratocaster," which is the worst strat-knockoff ever made. It weighs more than a wheelbarrow full of bricks, the neck is all kinds of warped, the electronics are the cheapest shit you've ever seen. Yamaha owned it, then it became its own Japanese company, then it became a Korean company back in the 80s and early 90s when everything Korean was pure garbage, and that's where my guitar came from.

Thing's a piece of shit. Doesn't hold a tune, shit intonation, isn't very loud, pointy frets. It's a case study in how to spot a shit instrument. You can see the hole in the body where it was bolted to the most annoying snowman that ever existed.

I've been trying to write metal songs in major keys to keep from getting to that point. It's actually not that hard to get it to sound less happy. A little bit of chromaticism goes a long way.

>>72374912
"Number of the Beast" is in a major key.

https://youtu.be/6J-MO5OhINI

>>72375215
Doesn't sound quite as happy since it's not straight major. The intro goes back and forth between D major and C major, then it drops into D Mixolydian to keep up that flat seventh

>>72375215
>>72375324
Was about to say this. The flat seven makes it not a true major. There's also not a lot of thirds being played.

>>72368834
Seriously considering dropping electric and moving to acoustic. Maybe it's because I'm getting older but I could give less of a shit about making overdriven, aggressive music, I'm all about fingerpicking and melody these days. Anyone else having these feelings?

>>72374508
on/off for bridge, middle(humbucker OR lipstick), and neck. Phase switch for neck. Volume for neck, only in the circuit when out of phase, for half out of phase tones. North coil/series/parallel/south coil rotary switch for the humbucker. Master volume, master tone, bass cut. And finally, the big Shazam, a master series/parallel switch. In either mode, the pickup switches still work the same way, unlike older tone monster mods which pretty much require a chart to know how to switch.

>>72374912
Any examples of metal in Major that doesn't sound happy? Any time I try to write like that it ends up sounding like cheesy pop-punk but with a lot more notes

>>72375410
None of the things you're saying apply to electric. You can make all the calm music you want with electric, distortion or no. It's a tool, you as a player use the tool you want. Don't let the tool define how you play.

>>72375834
>No one seems as excited as me to play some fuckin Jug Band Music

Why do you think? Rock is dead kid.

>>72375834
If you don't live in a town of less than 2,000 full of rednecks who only listen to new age cuntry music while you just wanna rip leads and play sweet jazz chords like Govan then pls kys

>>72375611
I don't have any examples off hand, but when I do it I try to keep a few things in mind. First, utilize half steps as much as you can. They always introduce more tension than whole notes. In a major key that would be between 3-4 and 7-1. One trick you can try is writing in Lydian, since a half step between 4-5 sounds much sadder than between 3-4, at least to me. Sixths are also nice intervals to use to introduce more tension. When voicing chords, try to use more inversions so your chords have more seconds and sixths. Extended chords also help. Next, think about your rhythm. If you use a strong chord on a weak beat it loses some of its luster, especially the V chord. If it's sounding like pop punk there's a good chance your rhythm and where the chords lie on it is too straight.

Really, it all comes down to tension and release. Even major chords are used in minor keys, so it really depends more on how you use them than how they sound individually.

>>72375834
Are you a guitarist? If so that's your problem right there, everyone plays guitar so you're not valuable. Learn bass or drums if you want to join a band, there are about ten guitar players for every bassist and drummer.

I'm tired of playing guitar, I wanna pick up bass. Any bassfags have suggestions on cheaper basses and amps that would be good for starting out. Since I'm use to guitar I don't want total shit, but I also don't want to drop a ton of cash on trying something new out. I'm looking to play more jazz type styles.

>>72375994
Most guitarists are shit though. If you actually practice people will want you.

>>72375994
So true. Guitar is the second most popular instrument in the US (20 million players), surpassed only by piano (21 million).

>>72375994
Bass fag. Can't get any guitar players to stop staring at themselves in the mirror and jacking off long enough to jam.
>rock is dead
Good. I use rock n roll as a tongue-in-cheek term to mean anything from punk rock to heavy metal

Vito Bratta was based af, shame he basically retired from the music industry after White Lion disbanded.

He had chops on the level of the Shrapnel guys, but always kept his solos melodic as hell. He tended to write really catchy rhythm parts, too.

>>72377333
Not true, you just have to keep pushing the boundaries of whatever style you're working in. The "noise" and art music world has absolutely no concern with success in more conventional styles of music. Marketing is a big part of it though.

Everyone sure is being weird today

>>72377388

ha ha ha electro harmonix has one called the big muff!

Hey guys, how do i go about identifying a neck profile, i know there are pictures of them but physically how would i go about it?, you see, i have an affinity series tele and i would like to buy a strat, either classic vibe 50's (chinese) or a Mim strat, the catch is, i would like a similar neck profile, also, is it possible to fit stock parts such as a tele neck on a strat body?

>>72378248
ha ha ha too funny!

so at this point ive been playing for a year, practicing 3 hours a day avg, and have kind of hit a wall with rock. no song is really too difficult to play

>>72378340
ha ha ha I'm still thinking about a guitar pedal called the big muff!

>>72378342
pls im already schooled in music theory that because of classical piano and i already devote most of my practice time to technique

im just looking for new good exercises, most on the internet are aimed towards newer players

>>72375562

bb king has more music in 3 well played notes than all of your metal players combined who play 4.000.000

im sorry kiddies, you've been meme,d you learned billion of scales and patterns in vain, you have no heart

>>72378864
