Hey guys. I'm trying to self-learn Bass and I'm having a tough time playing notes without them sounding... I guess shaky or not solid would be a good way to describe it. I don't know if it's how I'm pressing down the strings for the notes or if it's just me being super shit. Any tips?

>>73084827
That's very noble, i wish more bassists tried to not sound out the notes they're playing.

>>73084930
Yo have to work on your fretting hand and making sure your finger strength is solid. Also a good idea to also work on your left hand and right hand muting techniques as well. I was like that for me when I started learning bass on my own like ten years ago, you'll get it eventually it just takes time.

Is this a good starter bass? Is it worth the $175 my local shop wants for it?

>>73085485

That's a fair price for a new one. They're generally nice little basses, a couple of my students have them and one even gigs with his. Only thing with the Jag body shape is to hold it and see if you like how it balances. It can be inclined to neck dive a little vs Jazz and Precision shapes, but it varies from bass to bass and doesn't bother some people.

Thats nice. Where did you get it?

Any advice on improvising over chords? What is the best way to approach chord tone soloing? I am trying to make my improvisations a bit more interesting than playing the minor pentatonic scale.

>>73087224
You have the minor pentonic down so build on that. Add the major 3rd into it, or the flat 5th. Also try the major pentatonic scale.

>>73087301
That make sense. Thanks mate. I guess I wanted to get away from the pentatonic so bad that Id didn't consider that.

>>73087224
the way you think is going to be the most difficult part for that, you're probably used to the classic rock minor pentatonic way of soloing where you just stick with one scale throughout the whole solo. when you start getting into soloing over changes that require you to switch scales the biggest thing you have to get used to is thinking about the chords while you solo.

for a really basic start in this i'd say go look into the caged system with it's arpeggios and scales. it sort of gets you used to playing arpeggios and scales in one position so you don't have to jump all over the neck looking for root notes.

>>73087483
Alright, that sounds great. I have one question though, how do you REALLY incorporate arpeggios into your playing in a creative/fun way? I mean, playing arpeggios up and down is almost as bad as playing a scale up and down. Thanks in advance.

>>73087573
i don't really use them that much, it's more of visual thing for me so i can visualize all the chord tones and how i can play around with them

if you want to go full arpeggio crazy go listen to some jason becker, that's pretty much all the guy does, fucking arpeggios everywhere

>>73081516
For some reason I badly wanted this guitar when I was 15 years old.

>>73085208
Daisy chain give you recursive electrical noise for each pedal you add. That background buzz when you raison your amp volume very loud, it's gonna get much worst if you have five daisy chained pedals. You might want a good power supply.

Learn the modes of the Major scale and the chords that come from them. It's pretty easy once you get the basic idea into your head and will cover 99% of popular music over the last 50 years.

>>73088647

If you want to play electric guitar music, buy an electric guitar. Your life will be a lot easier and you'll have more fun, motivating you to play more.

>>73088647
In my opinion, if the acoustic is discouraging you from playing, then try the electric. At least you wont be giving up guitar entirely

Yeah looks like a shill post but take it however you want.

Do I get an SG or a Telecaster next? Which one would complement my Strat more?

SG will give you a wider range of sounds not attainable with a strat. Tele is pretty close to a strat imo.

Fingers locking is a sure sign of overexertion. Loosen up, keep your fingers curved to fret with the tips and use the bare minimum pressure required to fret the note cleanly.

>>73090627

Pentatonic scales contain a relative minimum of harmonic information most of the time, so if you're playing that set of triads, the I IV V of the key, you're not really encountering much in the way of clashing.

The minor 3rd of the G minor pent *can* fight with the major 3rd of the G triad (and the minor 7th with the major 3rd of the D), but we're extremely accustomed to hearing that interaction and we'll usually just interpret them as a #9 interval.

The minor 7th of the minor pent just creates a G7, its perfect 5th acts as the major 9th of the C, implying a C9, and the perfect 4th creates a D7, which essentially gives us a standard Blues I-IV-V, pretty much fundamental to our folk and popular music.

Once you extend the chords past triads, things get more touchy, but the maj/min pents are still relatively open enough to work with most stuff without too much effort.

You are absolutely right, apart from being completely wrong.
It goes like this cherry red > aged alpine white > natural brown.

just finished building a pedalboard, welded myself a more or less copy of a pedaltrain thing with slightly thinner profile of rails, think an inch or so wide, six of those with also an inch of space inbetween them.

Should I go with velcro or with drilled holes for zipties? Can't decide lads.

>>73092120
Actually on video I think it doesn't look as good as in this picture. From what I've been able to find, the alpine is too white (imo) whereas the aged tends to be a bit too creamy.

The cherry red with white pickguard looks amazing though, like a classic Ferrari

Oh man. I had the opportunity to buy one of these in a local store. They were going out of business and everything was heavily discounted. This hunk of junk was still $200+ I think. It might've been the last thing left at the store after they closed up.

Coincidentally enough, the owner of that store is now one of the guitarists in my band. We were just talking about this guitar at a gig a few days ago.

I gotta say, I've never tried one, but they are one of the ugliest guitars I've seen. And I actually like the look of Telecasters.

Not really guitar related but a problem a lot of you have probably found yourself having: what do you do when you want to record music but do not have access to drums or just dont have a good microphone set up for the drums

>>73098198
You might think this is crazy but people have been recording solo guitar for as long as recording has existed. Yes, you can play guitar by yourself. In this day and age they have something called "multitracking" where you can actually record multiple guitar tracks by yourself over top of eachother.

>>73093710
Music is something which goes from place A to place B. The ride needs to be exciting for the listener to stay for the whole trip duration.

The base song doesn't have any structure and it swells back and forth on the same shit. Your drummer tries to overperform and his shit doesn't fit at all because he goes insane with his shitty fills.

You need a melody for your solo and then you will progress that into a nice climax. But now it just lacks any kind of structure. It's like your song - it doesn't have a structure or definition.

Rearrange it and add a progression. Fire your drummer.
