/gg/ - Guitar and Bass General

>>73505903
depends on how gay you are

>>73505813
Hopefully you have a few friends, you can ask them if they know anyone who plays guitar you could jam with. Friends of friends have been the best route for me

Otherwise force yourself to do social things and talk to people a lot and bring up music and instruments. So many people play guitar anyway, it shouldn't be that hard to find one after a bit of effort.

My strings broke and I realized that I know fuck all about strings, which isn't good. What gauge would be best suited for a Kinoko Teikoku sound

Squeaky strings aren't mandatory right? I mean it is possible to pick up your fucking fingers right?

>>73505383
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cG6GhrKZSo

Is running two fuzzes at once workable, or is it just going to lead to a mess. Have a verb and a fuzz rn

>>73508070
Alternatively, you can use fretboard lube.

>>73508070
Use stainless steel strings if it's an annoyance

>>73508210
>>73508250
Well I mean mainly in recordings that I hear of others particularly acoustic. Sometimes the string squeaking is incessant. This is just because they are undisciplined players who aren't fully lifting their fingers when moving up the fretboard right? Or more specifically they are slow to fully lift their fingers completely before they move their hand.

>>73507674
Looks like an Ibanez

>>73508630
I had a string squeak problem a long while back. I kept posting about it but to a lack of responses. I finally figured out that my pickups were way too close to the strings. (I bought it that way and it was my first electric after a long stint of just nylon.) My first clue should have been always having to dial back my volume knob for a decent tone. As a bonus to dropping my pickup height, my "sloppy playing" suddenly cleaned up enough that I decided not to quit guitar altogether.

So maybe they're just too closely mic'ed?

Is the Les Paul 100 good for beginners, or should I get a Squire instead?

>>73509115
To be honest, string squeak on acoustic is such a common thing I don't even hear it any more. I imagine most people are similarly desensitized.

Get an AXL USA Torino AL-1080. Its better made and you can find one for $300-350

>>73509681
Anon, this is going to be a stupid question, but, are the number of pickups and knobs/switches indicative of quality? I always figured the more the better.

>>73509730
>the more the better
More gives you more options but it is also more failure points and more distraction from the task at hand: playing.

>>73508070
It seems to be stylistic choice.

>>73503601
>>73504134
i find it easier to do pulloffs and bends, plus it allows me to strum harder when i want to and it leaves more space for the string to ring out, i want maximum toan and resonance

>>73509276
You'd be better off with a Mexistrat or a Yamaha Pacifica. if your just starting. The build quality/value is just better, AXL's are assembled in the US, parts made elsewhere and their quality is spotty.

>>73509730
You'll get more tones out of a 2 pick up setup, warm round neck pickup tones and hot bitting bridge pickup tones and the middle position of a 3 way switch is sort of an imbetween tone.

The Axl will give you a humbucker tone for rock but it also has a coil tap option for single coil sounds. You can also turn down the tone knob to roll off some of the highs and warm the tone up. Over all its a nice playing guitar with great quality components and hardware

>>73509899
I honestly didn't understand most of that (I'll probably google all the technical stuff) but thanks a lot anon I'll look into Axl.

will a bridge upgrade on cheap lp special affect its tone significantly? it still buzzes a bit at the saddles even after i sanded them, only goes away with the tailpiece screwed all the way down so the pressure makes up for the poor saddles. also it feels a bit loose around the 2 big studs. a proper aftermarket bridge will fix these issues? is wilkinson a good brand or is it just decent? to upgrade or not to upgrade such cheap instrument is not on question here

Probably, but tapping those things out is a pain in the ass and he'd probably charge more than a new one. But even if you did you'd still have sloppy play in the intonation screw/saddle.

You're not supposed to glue the strings to the nut, numbnuts. No wonder your sound is "dull".

>>73511310
I don't know if it dulls the sound, but as it is, it has a serious impact on the tuning.

So, I just use the strongest glue I can find or do I need to buy something special from the guitar shop jews?

>>73511447
Go to the hardware store and buy wood glue. Do you people think before posting?

I have a Peavy transtube head exactly like the one pictured, and the volume knob would spazz out if you even slightly move it and the reverb would get a high pitched whine if you put it past 7, so i took the back off to see what was wrong w it, and after moving the reverb tank I put it back together but no there's no sound coming out when i plug it in to the cab.

I mean man if you want to believe in a deity it's your right to do so, but its just stupid

Is the tone knob on a guitar important? I am eyeing up this guitar :

https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/RGAIX6FMTGF

However, I am not sure if I should get a guitar without a tone knob. Also, is this Ibanez better than this guitar?

https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SEMHHB2

Which of these two is better? I play everything from rock/jazz,, to metal.

Changing to 12s, so I probably need to adjust my truss rod. I've heard some use allen wrenches, some use a specific tool. I don't own any tools or nuthing, so does this look like something I need the allen wrench for or tool. (inb4 it's dirty, it's a 50 buck strat clone that's pure shit I haven't touched in a while

>>73516253
Well it only depends if you enjoy having additional control of the sound your instrument can emit or not. Tone knobs can be used to find some sweet spot on the fly without having to meddle with your amp

>>73516253
You'll be fine, most fuckers don't even know what their tone knobs do.

>>73516253
For me, a tone knob is very important. i use the tone knob of my guitar all the time

you can get a "tone knob" with any low pass filter if you really really want a guitar without a tone knob but still have this functionality.


About RG guitars, if you want versatility i recommend you trying to go for RG prestige, Iron Label from my understanding is tuned mostly for metal while the normal RG is a versatile guitar like a stratocaster (different from a strat though)

You will probably like this:

>>73516253
Also, adding tone pots to a guitar is no big deal

>>73516442
We've established that knobs are important to you.

Should I buy a cheaper guitar to take to Uni or take my £250 electro-acoustic?

i thought these JJ tubes were trebly and thin... i knew nothing, these Electro harmonix are even worse

>>73516487
take your electro-acoustic

>>73516512
It's your shit amp you fucking retard

>>73516519
Thanks mang

>>73516376
>>73516434
Hmmm, I will go to a store and try it out, if I like the sound of it. I do like to fiddle with the tone knob a lot, but lets try it out before knocking it.

>>73516462
That sounds hella interesting, I have always been interesting on modding guitars, and making pedals, too bad I haven't found good tutorials.

>>73516442
That guitar looks pretty cool indeed. I guess I need to add it to my to-try list.

>>73516512
thats your fault for having a terrible amp

>>73516544
the amp is certainly not the fatest, its a single ended type anyway
JJ tubes are known for being trebly though

>>73516592
You're getting pretty good at repeating shit you don't know anything about, pr talking put of your ass.

>>73516573
Just call your local music store and ask how much it would cost for them to do it.

>>73516634
Or call crazyaga and ask him how much it'll cost for him to give you head.

Reduce carbs in your diet.

Or realize that you can't fill the hole of your insecurities with consumption. Become a better player instead.

>>73517892
buying more guitars isnt going to make you a better guitarist anon. but being more pedals will.

Hello /gg/

Right now my epi has Burstbuckers for pickups, what would be a good upgrade?


I play mostly dad rock and a little heavy metal

>>73518853
What's wrong with Burstbuckers? I think they're the best pickups Gibson makes. They're direct copies of the original PAFs

>>73518892
I mean nothing, I guess?
I dont know much about pickup brands desu
I figured theres always something better than OEM

you sound like you just learned the minor scale and done some spider exercises and learned some stock tapping and repetitive fast licks

>>73519121
I know all 7 modes to all 12 keys. All 5 inversions to the pentatonic scale. All possible 7th chords as chords and arpeggios. Plus all the extensions and inversions.

Tbh if you don't like it, don't comment. Why bother talking shit on the internet? It just forces me to "prove" people wrong for my own integrity.

>>73519218
Don't forget. Chromatic scale. Whole tone scale. Fully diminished arpeggios and chords. Augmented too. I know my shit don't even try talking shit.

You don't gotta like my groove though. Or my music. Just keep the harsh words to yourself. If this was real life you would look stupid saying that in front of anyone that knew you.

From one of your videos: tao guru I appreciate the feedback. Honestly, I would love to play more arpeggios, but I haven't worked them out yet. I'll be uploading some videos soon of the new 7 stringed guitar I just bought. Hopefully, you'll see some extended arpeggios and some nice intervallic play (:
you played yourself retard

iv been eyeballing this guitar for a while.
it has some weird stuff in it. and i like when a company does something new. but when i hear the demos on youtube it sounds like a tincan. idk if that's the particular model or wood.

>>73520154
I think if you slowed down a bit it'd be better. There's a few rough parts but I think you definitely have room to improve. I also think you could benefit a lot from playing with a backing track

>>73511552
where you from lad and post a sample of your music

>>73505813
i find that if you try to jam with people who arent your friends it sort of difficult.

lots of players are just wankers with no sense of rhythem. but the biggest problem its that you have to build trust with the person you are playing with, so friends are the best option.
i tried to convenience my friends to get a keyboard/bass but they are too lazy to get into music

>>73520189
Tacky color aside, if that is a maple top, don't buy that shit. Get a solid spruce top or at least a solid cedar top.

Is it true that young people these days think the guitar is an old man instrument? What do they even listen to?

>>73520500
Nah, not really. Certain sections of them probably do though, yeah.
I mean, I did growing up until like age 13~.

Musicians like Dave Grohl and others have made it too safe and too fucking "nice". It's fucked.

Also guitar based music has been uninspired shit for some time now

>>73520500
yes
ableton

>>73520500
pop,folk
from what iv seen young people usually get into electronic music making.
but you still need music theory when making electronic i guess

>>73520500
to dadrockers in their 70s

>>73520500
They listen to rap because the media told them it's cool to be a wannabe gangster thug African american and speak the same way, and pretend to be "street" innit!?

That's why youths in US and UK wear streetwear brands and speak like they're from Jamaica and in general just pretend to be things they're not

>>73520524
what did dave grohl do, he rocks his guitar onstage

>>73520355

please papa anon, put that reupload in my mouth

>>73520556
Dave Grohl is everything wrong with guitar based music. He is a disease.
Cobain didn't like him, and he was in the band for fucks sake.

The only people who listen to him and Foo Fighters are people who smell like cheese, overweight, or unironically "nu-male".
Just a disgusting smarmy worthless talentless cunt surviving on his dead friends legacy and pretending he had anything to do with it at all. Mega rich but pretends like he isn't an all out businessman with no soul.

The best drum bits on Nirvana records weren't even Grohl anyway. Tracks like In Bloom weren't even him, he's a fucking hack talentless cunt

I feel sorry for Krist for having to pretend to like the guy all these years later

>>73520555
did the media also tell the youth in US and UK that it's cool to be a nigger playing guitar in a cotton field 100 years ago?

>>73520621
Yes. All fads and music scenes such as punk, etc, were entirely manufactured and pushed by record execs with huge influence.

It's not a conspiracy. They literally let it happen, or took part in making it happen.

Same is happening with hip-hop now. They fan the flames of a new tiny movement (could be anything) until it becomes a wild blaze.

At the end of the day, they still decide what gets big, what gets pushed, what gets support, and what doesn't.

>inb4 you say it's the demand
No no no!
The people will listen to anything if it's put into their ears! They don't care! They will listen to anything providing it meets a certain criteria and is easily accessible, and it has to be EVERYWHERE.

That's just how it is. You could literally put a lump of shit in a shop window and someone would come in and ask how much it is

ace frehley is everything thats right about guitar

>>73520500
the guitar is probably more popular than ever given rising guitar prices, places like guitar center exploding and buying out regional chains, the endless supply of dumb guitar meme videos on yt, etc etc

the issue is that hip hop music is the easiest shit to market to the percentage of the population that still buys music, and this is what 'young people' are portrayed as making these days.

>>73520692
so what?

asking more about music and not guitars

i want to replicate 90's music. i noticed that 90's music in particular is usually characterized by things like heavy delay, keyboard, some electronic mixed in and strong chorus.
how do i properly learn about music styles in terms of era's? is there any particular book that goes in detail or i just have to train my ears more?

>>73520960
By ear is your best bet.

>>73520960
read internet articles

>>73520938
so nothing bro, that's just how it is...

>>73520960
buy an Orange amp
buy any delay pedal
buy a chorus
play oasis covers (unironically, many 90s band were influenced by oasis)
and you're right, a lot of synthy outros and shit

>>73520960
>>73521248
i'm talking after 95 anyway....

>>73521248
now that i think about it. synth stuff evolved from the 80's from very jumpy in your face synth to mellow and sad synth in the 90's.
ill guess that will be my root, thanks

>>73520960
how about just listening to music of that period?

>>73521350
nah, it's perfectly okay to look back on an era and mine it for the good fragments
that's how music evolves

leave him to it, i say.

Rate my 400€ guitar. I want to know what mics it uses because I think it has some distortion on them.

Adding arpeggios to my playing was the best thing I have done in a while musically. Now I can pretend to be a dollar store version of Jason Becker. What other musically cool concepts could be added to your playing to make it more interesting/melodically?

>>73521470
It's a Yamaha Revstar 320, to save you a reverse google.

>>73521350
that's what im gonna do. but i tend to think of everything like there is a science to it. and it may be that people just made moody music during that time because they felt like it
