>>73346485
although I'm the above bass anon with no formal training it's good to at least know the fundamentals. whether you obey them or not is really up to you. music is art and you can do whatever the fuck you want. but knowing the fundamentals lets you understand WHAT you're doing and at least knowing your chords/notes helps you play with new people.
>>73346547

>>73347060
you can get all of the same shit for a lil over 200 if you mod one of those 70$ diy kits with better strings and pickups

you know what the two worst guitar feelings are?
1. forgetting a specific technique; i just sat down and couldnt tremolo pick like i used to.
2. getting inspired to play by a specific artist, picking up your guitar, and realizing there is very very little you can do originally.
ive been listening to a lot of gorguts and deathspell omega and i just have no clue what theyre doing. i cant really take in anothers music and synthesize it into something original. i feel like quitting.

I'm trying to reverse engineer this song and work out how it's played

Any body have any issues with notes on your instrument that just don't sustain as long as others? I've looked it up seems like they're called "wolf notes". My bass doesn't like any C note played on it, doesn't matter what string it's on the sound just like drops off when I play a C, but it will sustain for crazy amounts of time when I play any sort of D note.

number 1 reason i havent bought that guitar

also the fact that its a jaguar

>>73338274
So why not just replace the neck and the bridge? Both are far easier and less expensive unless you buy nothing but thru neck guitars.
Also even squires aren't made of plywood but you know that and just want to be a pretentious ass.

What pedals do I need?

>>73348857

maybe a noise suppressor

>>73347542
this guy continues to be a source of inspiration for me

not because he was a great guitarist (i think he was rather shit) but he inspires me because at least im not as fucked as him and can still play the instrument

>>73347060
It costs that much.
Is it worth that much?
If it didn't say Fender and was otherwise the exact same guitar would you pay $1000 for it?

>>73348293

How do I meaningfully use hammer ons and pull offs during improv solos? I always feel like they're out of place when I use them. How do you guys use them usually?

>>73342978
Yes. Definitely my favorite Fender guitar. Even a poor quality Jazzmaster beats a Jaguar or Tele in my book.

>>73349846
what part of the guitar do you use the hammer on though. i dont want to break anything.

>>73349664
Hindrex sucks. He's only popular because he played the Star Spangled Banner on a distorted guitar at a time where no one was using distortion.

>>73349846
Whenever you are playing arpeggios you can use hammer ons to make them a little easier to play.

Any kind of buzzing or whine is probably a fret issue if it's localized to one area. Take it to a luthier to have it examined. I would also look straight down the neck to check for any obvious warping.

How do you guys feel about a 'meastro by gibson sg'? Apparently it comes with an amp and what not but I only want the guitar and will buy a separate amp. Keep in mind I'm broke as fuck and plan on using a distortion pedal so how will this probably sound compared to something about a $500 guitar sound? It's like 100-200$ and I've never played and electric before. Is it worth it or should I save some more?

>>73350151
>>73349748
No buzzing or whine, the note just doesn't sustain as long as any other note. The neck isn't twisted.

I hate that guitar. It reminds me of the first generation Guitar Hero guitars. I've never played one, but if this is your first electric guitar I'd recommend a Squier Strat. You won't be taking a gamble on knowing that all of the electronics work and it'll be a fairly simple upgrade to any of the more expensive Fender guitars.

>>73349748
if it isn't just craping out because of the frets, your bass probably just resonates better with other notes. every instrument does that because of the nature of acoustics. it's more noticeable on bass though.

>>73350514
it just sounds like some random western movie soundtrack. which is what gybe were trying to do with their song as well

>tfw you didn't play guitar well into the 90's where you could play any 4 basic chords without a change in chorus and still make a hit

the nature of guitar playing precludes the possibility of ever having rational conversation about it on a place like 4chan

99.8% of people here are total amateurs and are hung up on retarded problems like "the callus on my finger isnt hard enough yet"

i pretty much just come here for a laugh now

God, you all seem so awful

Anyone else fee like the guitar is kind of a dead instrument? Like everything that could ever possibly be done with it has already been done? Every riff, chord progression or playing style has been done to death before and no music you make with it will be unique?

>>73352415
No instrument is "dead" ffs. Step outside your comfort zone

>>73352415
Western music has 12 notes.

>>73352415

My advice is that you shouldn't play what doesn't feel right when you are on stage, because if you fuck it up, the music is going to suffer. However, if you continue to practice, it will come to you, for me, it takes about a month or two from where I can comfortably use a technique in the practice room to when I can tastefully use it on stage, so don't give up. A more specific advice would be to study some classical guitar music, where pull-offs and hammer-ons are basically the only "gimmicky" way to play.

>>73352508
hammer ons and pull offs are essential to all lead guitar playing
you can hardly play a lick without using those techniques (unless you suck ass)

>>73352484
Im a session muso. You think you are the first to think that? You know how many songs of different genres for hundreds of years have used something as simple as G D C?

Steve Vai and others took lessons for Satriani. Others were self taught. It depends on the person and their goals. Every musician has at one time said to their peers, "hey man. Whatcha doing there? Show me it".
And all the lessons, technique and theory will not come close to jamming with others

hard to believe there are posters who think some guitar god wasn't taught by someone else somehow, or at least heavily influenced.

every musician, at one time, listened to a recording and tried to copy that sound they liked on an instrument. that is the first lesson a musician ever gets from another one.

This Surfcaster is so tempting. Right down to the angles, tailpiece and extra frets... Maybe but I would want a better colour, though. Only $350.00!

How on earth do I play barre chords past the eighth fret?

Getting all those fingers in such a tiny area is resulting in muted strings all over the place.

>>73356149
practice
nothing fires me up like that fucking ugly muted, choked sound when my stupid fingers are all over those frets

a little of acoustic technique always helps, since you want all your notes to sound clean and bright

I'm learning junk (mccartney) and present tense (radiohead) and I feel you

>>73356149
for the major chord, just use you ring finger to bar the 5th and 4th strings.

>>73355580
That looks like a guitar made out of lego pieces

Can someone redpill me on compressor/sustainers and rec some good ones?

>>73353373
Yes; however, Lars had purposefully told their producer to lower the bass by 2db, then lower it further until it was inaudible. There is technically bass on AJFA, but it's nearly inaudible.

Wow why is this general always either shit or dead

All those bands have simulated bass. Bass is still an important component in songwriting since time immemorial.

Learn when and how to use your fingers, on bass it's going to be a bit different due to the frets having different sizes.

Those guitars are the closest you can get to a blank canvas as a guitar. Super clean, "transparent sounding guitars. If it sounds dull to you, it's not the guitar's fault.
