About 10 years in, I had already been playing a Strat-style guitar for around that long anyway and had always kept going back to it even after owning a Les Paul for a couple years. Playing a Jazzmaster really convinced me that a Strat was much more suited to my needs as a player.

What is your all-time favorite guitar tone?

When can I find decent backing tracks with proper progressions? All the ones I can find on youtube are just one chord loops or are boring.

Any recommendations?

>>72870253
what kind of backing? songs by artists or just general backing tracks to do wanky solos over?

what style DO you want, don't tell me what you don't want, do you want rock, blues, alternative, metal, tell me what the fuck you want

>>72870341

Blues

Funk

Preferably in the style of John Scofield, Snarky Puppy, Pat Metheny, Larry Carlton, Benny Greb, Andy Timmons, Guthrie Govan, Karnivool.

Is that enough to work with? I was asking for generally good places/channels but if you want specifics...

nevermind. found the neck-builder. disappointingly expensive, i guess, but it's what I need

Yank the frets and feel the voids with a hardening filler. If you're feeling exotic and have rosewood dye the wood filler a light color and fill the grain of fretboard. Sand smooth.

>>72874308

why the fuck is shredding so popular? to show off your technique sure, but it sounds like shite most of the time.
for example waves:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U75g2mDTXtA

>>72875383
How the fuck does one take that as me hating him?
I actually love watching his "lectures" or reading his books, he's a great guitarist, no doubt, but desu I can't enjoy a lot of his songs because the shredding ruins it for me.

>>72875716
Jeez.. no compressor is worth that much imo.

>>72875787
Famalam, I had never even used a compressor before this, in at the deep end lad. I have two weeks to send it back, so I'm gonna try my best to see what the fucking hype is. I watched a video where they said compression is better with singe coils and makes less of a difference with humbuckers, but I'm using P90s, I know they're single coil but it's different, and I don't just know. It definitely makes a difference, I just don't know if I like it.

Just put on some Silk & Steel strings my acoustic rather than the standard bronze because i heard they emulate the sound of nylon guitar music and oh god did I find exactly the tone I was looking for for years just by trying out these strings
They dont sound like nylon at all but they are slinky, mellow and because of how low tension they are playing vibrato on them is nice

I always hated how tuning up bronze strings makes me feel like theyre going to snap any moment too, these tune up so loosely that I can tell they'll never break from tuning

I'm officially #TeamSilk&Steel

nylons are shit unless youre playing classical or brazillian stuff

>>72875768

your brain cannot process the tonal information cause you suck at guitar bro

tensing the muscles prevents you from achieving a faster speed?

>>72878669
Accuracy is more important. If you play fast and inaccurate it sounds like shit. A little bit slower but flawless sounds much better.

>>72878669
yes

>>72878727
yes, for sure

>>72878745
Absolutely, play it slow and build.

>>72878804
I haven't tried to play fast in years. I still can but it takes a backseat to everything else.

>>72878804
But I play live and have had hundreds of people come up to me to tell me I'm amazing because they like my wank

Starting to do some excercises, working on learning chord shapes and voicings. Already got an alright understanding of music theory but the fretboard has made things click a little more in my head, so I am digging that.

Nah, playing a D major instead of a Dsus4 works almost as well. If you're comping with a jazz combo just let the guy on piano handle all the weird voicings and extensions while you get to be a lazy shit.

I can never understand some guitarists out there and their obsessions with crazy high gain distortion and dropped tuning. Something about this "obsession with tone" has gotten really out of hand, despite most of the 'tone' being a lot of fucking white noise.

>>72881415
the guys that go crazy with distortion aren't really the ones going crazy over tone, the tone guys are usually the vintagefags who spend thousands of dollars on ridiculous bullshit

>responding to obvious bait

>>72881517
it really comes down to what style of music you're playing

but come on, it's piano voicings, it's not going to be easy. every instrument has a different voicing and plays a part in a band. leaning music theory will be better for you than learning piano voicings that you'll rarely if at all use.

that's why i don't like people that play different instruments, because they don't apply the necessary technique and voicing to each instrument

I think there's a place for being able to play chords with altered 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, etc., but imo it's better to first and foremost be able to solo over them in a way which brings out those tones over the chords themselves. Like, if I'm comping over a standard and I see a maj7#11 chord, I'll probably just play the maj7 when playing rhythm and use the #11 as a color tone when soloing.

>>72882232
i can't stand vai but that song is extremely impressive

shame he never wrote anything half as good as that

How do I escape the pit of soulless random scale noodling?

>>72882478
Make melodies in your head and connect them to the guitar. Hum, whistle, or sing some shit and then learn to play it. Keep doing it until you can do it simultaneously. Then you'll be playing from your head and not your fingers

what differs a guitar instrumental like vai's and satriani's stuff from good soloing over a youtube backing track

>>72882712
Well, I would also make a distinction between Vai and Satriani's playing too but most of their playing is very rhythm-oriented in addition to the melodic shred stuff. Check out Vai's "Attitude Song" or "Building the Church" or "Now We Run". The groove adds interest to the piece that doesn't come across in your average I-IV-V backing track. Vai especially is a composer first and foremost and I feel like the thought that goes into all the variables of his songwriting - not just the guitar - is part of his appeal to musicians in general.

Should I get a
-Peavey Bandit 112
-Orange CR60
Or can I do even better at this price range?

>>72882839
Bassfa/gg/ here, can confirm - when my band's guitarrist decide to give a try to a Satriani song I could certainly feel it after a while, it became quite obvious, the bass and rhythm guitar actually have some rhythm and variation to it. Hell, at one point the bass even has a little solo of its own.

In all honesty it's pretty much like playing in a jam with someone that's much better than everyone that's playing and that you guys feel free to let him take over but he's not being an asshole about anything. You know who the guy with the great licks and that's going to stand out is, but you all are contributing and having some improvisation going.

No, that would be more fun

i'm a drummer that wants to be able to write my own music
not sure if i should pick up guitar or keyboard / synth
i know which notes are which on the neck if given enough time to find them
i really just want to approach another instrument as a songwriter and not a guitarist or pianist
which one do you guys think would be easier for this purpose?
if i end up with a guitar i'd buy a princeton reverb, jazzmaster / telecaster / stratocaster, a fuckload of OBNE pedals because they sound cool as shit, and a looper
if i go the synth route i'd probably buy a microkorg and a korg monologue or something

>>72883887
>i really just want to approach another instrument as a songwriter and not a guitarist or pianist
Then use a DAW and program midi

>>72883936
but i want to actually write the music not learn software so it can write the music for me

>>72882346
>why i am mediocre: the post

>>72864834
60s fuzz guitar is pretty good
But heavy distortion I also like

>>72884261
Midi in a DAW isn't written for you by software. It's just a way for you to write music and be able to instantly hear it back. It's a composition tool, and it can even be the final product depending on what you're going for. It's composition without the limitations of having to play an instrument. Almost exactly what you said you wanted

>>72884305
what's the difference with that and just using a synth?

>>72884350
The physical limitation of your skills with a keyboard compared to entering notes one by one without worrying about performance

Technically you could control a synth with midi the same way, but then it's pointless to buy the hardware unless you're after a very specific sound it offers or want to play with the keyboard

Are Rotosound bass strings really that good?

>>72888303
I've never sold or returned anything that wasn't broken on delivery. I've given away plenty of cheap guitars and amps over the years to new players. I think I have a problem.

>>72888303
I only try before i buy or at the very least watch multiple demos

>>72888367
I do watch demos before I buy things but I'm not going to sit in the shop for six hours trying one thing, need to try it home with all my other shit to see if it's worth keeping. Plus there are so few demos with p90s.

>>72888360
No idea, I use their geetar strings.

>>72888392
>>72888303
Most "normal" boutique pedals (i.e big muff copies, fuzz face copies, compressors, simple delays, overdrives etc) aren't worth the money. That's where most the disappointment will come from, the fact that there's a $60 pedal that will sound 90% as good.

I only pay top dollar for truly weird or remarkable shit that is in a category of its own. Havem't been disappointed yet.

I once tried to buy a $75 practice amp from Long&McQuade but they wouldn't sell it to me. They said that I was trying to scam them because I couldn't provide a phone number. (I didn't have a phone at the time.) When they started to hint at my supposed paranoia, I stopped trying to reason with them and just left.

Anyway, got my Fender Frontman (see above) today because there was only one other recommendation in the thread. And I gave my phone number (lol) because I have one.

Yeah man, nuno's such a fun player to listen to. Make sure you check out politicalamity and cupid's dead

How's the pod xt? I'm looking for something where I can plug in my guitar, tablet and headphones into that I can just play to. Sound quality only matters if it makes the original track sound like shit. Guitar sounding like shit isn't an issue.

why do strat copies sound thinner
they usually come out with fat sounding, overwound pickups that compensates it
if you swap them for good, clear fender pickups like the 57/62, the guitar will sound thin in comparision to a MIA fender strat
why does that happen? they usually have decent steel saddles, big (pot metal, but still big) trem block, yet they sound thin compared to a fender strat with the same pickups

>>72895151
>tonewood

>>72895151

Because they use SHITTIER WOODS YOU RETARD!!!

>>72895151
Chinks never dry their woods properly so they have all these pourous holes all over them and the finished dont seal them properly

>>72895151
I think my Chinese strat sounds incredible. It's going to end up passing up my american tele and my SG standard as my main gigging guitar, honestly. I can't comment on a pickup swap yet though, been thinking about throwing some lindy fralin blues special singles or split blades in though and I'll eventually post here if I do. I'm more than happy with it, I was jut never a strat guy so I couldn't justify $1500 for a strat just because I wanted a single coil guitar other than a tele to record with.

Thinking about it, I don't like fender pups that much. I thought my tele sounded weak til I put some Lindy's in it, now it kills. The only guitars I've ever considered pickup swaps on within the first week are fenders, ibanez(excluding basses) and deans.

>>72871932
Aside from the beginning part, you don't hear the guitar afterward.

>>72895509
So the guitars made out of concrete sound good only because the murican who made them dried the concret first?

>>72895509
cabinet maker here, you're talking out of your ass. wood is dried so it's more stable before milling, not to make it less pourous.

>>72895151

Listen critically at least twice(3 times is best focusing in vocal cues, then drums/other percussion, then guitar), listen casually like an hour later, ignore for like a day, come back and fake my way through it, if it has weird chords or I don't have time to break it down I go to the internet. Practice like twice after I have a grasp of the song. Once a day for a week. I play in 2 cover bands and that's how I learn everything. If I had and hour free every night I can fully learn 5 or 6 songs a week covering all nuances. I learned a 2 hour set with unfamiliar songs in 10 days using this method.
