/gg/ - Guitar and Bass General

is there a hobby that doesn't qualify you as a manchild?

>>72726147
>Has anyone here learned fingerpicking tremolo classical style (bass and three notes)?
>I'm wondering if just practicing speed with the three notes would help (e.g. repeating ami on one string) or I should just do the full pattern.
>Also any thoughts on whether to do slow tempo or impulse type training or whatever appreciated.

FWIW so far I've mostly been doing single string runs of p-a-m-i with a metronome trying to push the bpm a little further every day.

>>72727529
Do you have any thoughts on the most effective way to practice speed?

I remember reading, when I was practicing piano, that the playing is different enough under high speeds for brief fast attempts to be more useful than super slow and careful practice. I've had some luck with specific ideas done faster but slow metronome work has always been helpful.

I feel like some of the more impressive stuff I learn is not even consciously practiced (with exercises/drills/metronome).

Asked this in old thread:

Are guitar and bass even relevant in music anymore?

What are some up and coming artists or bands who make music with guitars? I don't mean underground bands with a devoted scene, I mean who is doing something new and relevant to contemporary popular music that isn't just a revival of old styles like garage rock or post punk?

guitar is a filler instrument at this point in popular music. that's not surprising though because pop music is mostly electro shit now.

>>72728168
you don't do that. you either have it above the dick or under the dick, never over the dick.

>>72728523
>I mean who is doing something new and relevant to contemporary popular music

Pop music hasn't been innovative for 20+ years dude. All current (electronic based) pop music is just ripping off the 80s and 90s styles. Pop bands that use guitars are no more guilty of rehashing ideas than the electronic artists are.

In either case the real innovation always happens in the underground and pop musicians borrow from it.

>>72728675
why

>>72728699
because those are the rules?

>>72727529

You know as well as I do that the order you use your fingers depends on the demands of the music.
I stick to classical, but on the occasion some of the songs require rasgueado. One in particular I remember was on a piece called Koyunbaba, in the fourth movement I had to start a distinct triplet pattern on the 5th and 6th strings, first using an upstroke of the thump(p), then rake with the index(i), the doing downstroke with the thumb.

Koch Studiotone has good specs too but it doesn't have power scaling and may be too loud.

What else is out there? Also, if you have something to say about the current candidates, feel free to do so.

Why is everyone surprised when people post anime on fucking 4chan? Are you all retarded? The site started as a straight rip of a Japanese image board.

If you don't want anime go find another forum. There are tons out there and almost all of them are way better than this shit-hole.

No one is surprised. It's because 4chan started as an anime forum but now there are other boards dedicated to other topics besides anime therefore anime doesn't really belong on said boards. Now, you can of course choose to post said cartoons those if you wish, just don't be surprised when you get bullied for watching cartoons that are stupid and of no value.

Not to be mean but chances are if you haven't played for awhile then you aren't ready to play with people you've barely met. It's ok to play with like friends n shit because they have to tolerate you but most people who seek other musicians usually are at a higher skill level.

"We are constantly railing against the passions; we ascribe to them all of man’s afflictions, and we forget that they are also the source of all his pleasures … But what provokes me is that only their adverse side is considered … and yet only passions, and great passions, can raise the soul to great things. Without them there is no sublimity, either in morals or in creativity. Art returns to infancy, and virtue becomes small-minded."

-Denis Diderot

The key is to relax as much as possible. When you tense up, you become inflexible and you can't adapt as quickly. Also, whatever you want to play fast, go as slow as you have to to totally fucking nail it, I mean ply it PERFECTLY, then make that perfect shit faster.

Stop projecting your insecurities senpai. I like all of that stuff you mentioned (except hip-hop) nothing wrong with exploring new territory which will undoubtedly sound bad to most people, it happens in every generation. The same way you react to this music today is how people reacted Stravinsky in his time.

Today's experimental music is tomorrow's popular music.

Not clones dummy, raw experimental music is filtered first through independent popular music movements and then again when it's appropriated by the mainstream.

Go to your local shop and try them out.

I can advise you on this because obviously I know exactly what sound you want and what your tastes in music are

>>72734463
Thinline teles might as well be solid body imo , there's no noticeable tone advantage to having it chambered like that. They're lighter though so that's a plus.

>>72734465
True, unless its spring reverb within the amp.

How can anyone make a statement this vague?

Surely the part you're playing should determine the effects used. This is obvious for people without autism.

Has anyone here had any experience with Sweetwater's 0% interest credit cards? I am planning on making a purchase on sweetwater using their credit, but I wanted to make sure first that I wasn't getting scammed. Purchase is over $1k, so it would be much better for me to pay it slowly.

It's unfathomable how much better Petrucci played/sounded with Ibanez. His guitar lines were more expressive, and fluid. In other words, more musical. His current playing with Music Man is interesting, but not as intriguing.

This. And proper posture and grip make the big difference when playing fast and clean.

>>72737254
Are there any good tube amps in that price range?

I have inherited a lot of Guitar stuff, that I intend to sell as it has no real sentimental value.

I didn't take photos or write down models like a moron and I want to see if any are worth above £100, I was wondering if anyone knew from description.

First is an epiphone, it looks like an SG from what I can tell, but where the bottom is normally rounded, its "Pincer" like, much like the top of the body. It is black, and has a riveted metal plate.

Second is a Yamaha bass that is white, looks very modern and the volume and tone dials light up.

Thats all I can remember for now. I know the shit like Yamaha Pacifica and PRS'

>>72737269
Bugera are ok. Good at the price. Dont expect a tank of an amp. Lifespan can be bad. Quality errors etc. Theyve gotten better but arent built to withstand much.

>>72737326
I was just looking for something to practice with that isn't my shitty solid state Marshall. I'd like to get an AC15 but I can't really afford to drop $600 on an amp.

>>72737354
Not a bad choice then. Its nothing amazing but a good little tube amp.

I blew a speaker today, which got me thinking of a replacement. The way I shape my distorted tone is I run my overdrive into an EQ pedal that has it's gain set to the maximum, shapes the overdrive tone a bit, and adds a LOT of low frequencies. It sounds great, at least to me, but the tone, as I recently had found out, was paramount in breaking the speaker. So what speaker could withstand these settings, whilst also giving me good clean tones?

>>72737231
