Because of the constant reminders, I'd like to keep it that way.

I pirated bias fx pro and Evey expansion and Holy shit this it's sounds years ahead of all the other programs. Running through 2i2 and Yamaha monitors sounds dreamy.

So I was playing my guitar and then the signal cut out. I thought it was bad cable so I switched cables. Still nothing. I opened her up and looked at the connections to the volume pots or the pickup selector. Those were fine. I didn't know what to do. So then I checked the input jack. Ah ha! I had a wire come loose there somehow. I soldered her back on and all was well. The end

Anyone have experience with a G&L Asat Classic Tribute. Mine is starting to piss me off. It sounds worse than my bullet with Mariposa pickups (which it fucking shouldn't). It especially sounds shit through my fuzz pedal, a whole lot of noise and a muted chord sound. My bullet doesn't even sound that bad.

>>73747769
Yes, that's where I got my guitar. It was practically a steal (I wonder why). But that was after some assholes from Oregon kept saying they would accept my offer, only to ghost my messages and raise the listing price of the guitar by $100+. Also got a decent effects pedal

I spent a few years as an oil refinery operator(mostly as gas flare control) where split seconds could mean life or death. I had to throw a bypass on a control loop afrer a destabilization in the cracking unit knowing the control the valve I was standing on could have a packing blowout of high temperature(3 times the boiling point of water) olefin, and I had a higher sense of urgency with that string change.

what is the lowest note you can sing?

B an octave below middle C. So an octave below the 2nd fret of the A string on a guitar

leave it alone, it's beautiful in that black finish. Unfortunately a non-original finish hurts the value alot, I would say $1000-ish is the best you could get for that.

If I were you I would just keep it and enjoy it, maybe get a Dearmond floating pickup (no modification needed if you mount it to the pickguard)

Looks like a low-profile Floyd. What do you mean by stable?

Hi friendo's, i'm looking for EQ advice for my guitar.

I'm playing in an experimental/post rock type band and i'm pretty happy with my guitar sound but theres just some tiny things i'm trying to fix up.

I have a nice clean sound however I find at pushed volumes you get that very hi 1k type of piercing coming through. I try to roll off the tops a it with my EQ pedal but that tends to make me drop back in the mix and the reverb starts to much it all out.

Is there a way I can get a clean, articulate sound for higher notes (with delays and reverbs) without that ear piercing high?

Guitar: Strat
Amp: Blackstar HT60
Pedals that will effect this: MXR 6 band EQ, Voodoo Lab Sparkle Mod Drive TS

Kind of going for a Gybe clean sound. It's pretty much there, but when I get it the way I want, it doesn't mix into the rest of the band very well (other guitarist has to change his volume like every song and changes his pickups which heavily impact/drown out my guitar).

>>73751225
>being this fucking dense
How illiterate are you?

>>73751235
Try a compressor like the diamond comp jr for your clean sounds. You can add a bit of warmt with the built in eq/tone knob while tightening up your clean signal.

>>73751315
Will a compressor mess with my headroom though? Keeping in mind we do a couple crescendocore kinda stuff?

I was thinking another way would be to roll off the tops until I get the sound I want and then using the TS as a clean boost, but it seems as though once the signal is pushed, its breaking up in the tube stage and goes back to that tinny high sound.

thanks for the advice.

>>73751347
If you use subtle boost and compression and cut out some of the highend it might get you to where you want to be. Here's a demo of the 3 different (mostly size) Diamond Compressors

Yeah, I came back home for dinner but I'm about to go back to my Grandmothers house in a little bit.

As far as Samuel goes I don't give a shit about $40, if he lived in my town I'd go hide it under a rock in the park if he wanted me to. My thing is getting it to him with no strings attached for me. I'm not willing to divulge any of my info but I'd drop a $50 money order (or even actual cash) in the mail without a return address in a heartbeat.

Of course I'd document the whole process with pics and ask Samuel to reciprocate when he got the money. Thinking about the Poorfa/gg/ Bri/gg/ade™ potentially filling this general with endless be/gg/ing makes me FUCKING ROCK HARD.

>>73751225
yes it is a floyd rose if you are just looking at the front.

on the back you have a mechanism with a ball that balances the strings to point zero. so the guitar can never go out of tune.

>>73751391
Thanks for the advice,

It's such a shame I can't just use Amp and 6 Band EQ to get rid of it. It's really close, but just not quite there. I'd just like to not make people squint when I hit some e and b string stuff, but at the same time still be able to hear what i'm playing smoothly.

anyone have any experience with cap values? i'm split between a 0.022 or 0.047uf cap because while i want to get a super dark jazz tone (like one of those mexican teles UNF), i'm also worried about my tone knob essentially turning into an on/off switch without any tweakability.

is changing the cap value to get that sweet, deep, bassy rolled-off tele voice even something i can hope from a jazzmaster? help pls

>>73751621
looks decent but you really gotta watch out for the pickup quality on these small manufactures.

>>73751640
Would you buy that schecter or a squier vintage jazzmaster modified (has singlecoils), squier seems fancier but i don't like the faggy looks of the jazzmasters

>>73751727
i don't know.
but right off the cuff i would probably buy a squire jazzmaster and buy fancy vintage pickups and good strings and install these right away.
would probably cost me like 50 dollars extra. but whatever

>>73751621
what shecter do you have your eye on anon?
i'm this guy: >>73751474 and let me tell you that unless a jazzmaster is something you really, truly want, i'd rather get a stable, dependable guitar e.g. a tele or a hardtail ibanez or something that isn't nearly as finnicky

>>73751827
thats a sick idea but i was actually gonna use push/pull volume and tone pots for phase and series/parallel switching like the johnny marr jag. if i manage to get everything right and decide to keep her, i'll prbably try to add a side-jack and drill a 3rd knob to clean up bass frequencies but that's a bit too far into the future for what i want to do haha

>>73751727
if you want a vintage tone just get a reissue. the problem is that reissues cost a hundred more than standard guitars for no reason.

>>73751539
I do that already, all it essentially does is take away from the tops that I want and pulls is back to a dull/muddy sound.

DESU probs just need a compressor as old mate said and also asking too much of my Amp. It's a bloody great amp, but its no AC30 or Silverface.

Alright I'm getting my first guitar. Already narrowed down the guitar part (yamaha pacifica 112v), but now I need a practice amp (bedroom situation).
Any recs? Budget is about €250, but I was thinking it may be better to start with a cheap modeling amp of <€150 until I figure out what sounds I like and then buy a better amp.
Shortlist is something like:
>Blackstar ID:Core Stereo 20 V2
>Roland Micro Cube GX
>Fender Mustang I V2
>Yamaha THR10 V2 (bit on the expensive side maybe)
>Peavey Vypyr VIP I
or maybe something simpler like an Orange Crush.
I'm not really sure what would be a reasonable price for an amp being an absolute beginner, or what features would be really nice for me to have.

>>73754013

>>73754077
As I said, I am into metal, as well as psych rock and the likes, so I'd definitely want something with good distortion.
>>73754094
Yeah that Micro Cube is high on my list. But isn't that 3W speaker not going to be a limitation? Doesn't look like it'll be even a little loud, nor that it will have decent bass.
>>73754097
People seem to recommend the Yamaha Pacificas as great beginner guitars all around the internet. I kinda have my doubts about the bridge (rather have a fixed one), but I really don't want to invest too much up front. Is it really that bad? It's not like it's THAT cheap. It's a €250 guitar.

>>73754144
the 250 one should be better than the 150$ one.
but after 6 months of playing you will probably have setup issues or whatever.
but yamaha is known for their outstanding pricing when it comes to guitar so maybe that 100$ difference is instrumental when it comes to yamaha guitar

you can start learning to improvise by following this one simple trick.

Play notes that you think will sound good over (simpler) songs that you know inside out.

Learn how to apply the pentatonic scale to different songs.

Then learn about different scales. Analyse the way the scale sounds and if you can imagine the scale over the piece of music, play it.

Hey I liked this vid on your youtube :)

Nice bluesy licks.

Good honesty in describing it as noodling.

The run at 0.55 is very nice.

And the slidey tricks after are cool.

Got bored after 2 mins though but powering through.

Woke back up after the SRV style riffing.

Alternate picking needs work. There's alot of "unnecessary" right hand movement, that's just my opinion, could be part of your high-attack tone though.

SEEK AND DESTRROROOROOYYYYY.

6/10, better than most but needs improvement.

>>73756253

Same old bullshit minor pent licks that have been played for 50 years now

It's all so tiresome, I swear

>>73756364

Meh, you called me a metalhead, I don't listen to metal.

The rest of the criticism was pure ad hom. So what if I like Steve Vai among many other musicians? So what if I'm sitting in a room playing guitar? Does that detract from the quality of music? If you found it unmoving, maybe just say so?

Did I really sound like garbage? What made it sound like garbage?

I think you're being dishonest and I can't forgive that. Probably because you're having a bad day, if not, then a really bad life.

>>73756395
>Does that detract from the quality of music?
You don't make music, you stupid fuck.
You play tired old licks that every other bedroom guitarist does.

You don't make music. You recite other people's music.
You can't create shit for yourself, because you're not a musician, you're a faggot with a hobby, as I said.

>Can't handle criticism so it must be because I'm having a bad day
You don't understand music, moron.

>>73756429

The other dude playing blues licks is a totally different person, and even so your criticism doesn't really get your point across. It seems that your desire is just to flame and annoy people. How sad.

Anyway I'd say I have a pretty good understanding of music, but sadly nowhere near as proficiently as my heroes of music. Would you like to post something you have made?

I hope you can get over yourself and start feeling positive, I'm here to help if you would like to talk.

Oh and thanks for the criticism, I'm flattered that you're jelly.

>>73757153

What kinda music do you like? Favourite songs?

Do it because you like it. If you like the challenge of conditioning yourself to pick up patterns and learn new songs, then you will enjoy playing bass. Then you'll git (somewhat) good within a year, bass is a piece of piss.

There are plenty of vids on youtube to help you.

All I ask is that you do your best to play the right notes.

>>73757176
Yeah the guys is greasy and sucks at guitar, but he's been there and has seen plenty of bands with crappy musicians, wasting time and money in the studio on fruitless endeavours. And this is his autistic raging about his experience with bass players. Which I have found to be somewhat true especially with players who only like/listen to metal.

>>73756146
Strings can get worn out, but don't worry about that being a beginner. You'll be surprised how many stings touring bands go through.

>>73756146
I've been playing on the same acoustic strings for about 3 years now. I'm poor, so I'm very thankful they've lasted this long. If they break now, all I've got are very light gauge electric strings.

>>73757221
>What kinda music do you like? Favourite songs?

>There are plenty of vids on youtube to help you.

If you're just practicing then you don't have to. But if you're recording and/or gigging I'd change them often

Why is my guitar so fucking noisey? I have a G&L S500 and I know single coils are always going to have some noise, but the noise has gotten much worse the past few months. Hitting a pre amp just makes the noise worse and I've already tried all the pickup combinations. I can't even record with it. For some background, I bought this guitar from a friend and it's about 10 years old and they are probably the original pickups. Do I just need to get new pickups or could it be another problem? Sorry for the scrub question, but I'm primarily a keyboard player. Any suggestions?

>>73757402

>>73743929
Should I install a capacitor and a resistor in my guitar for a treble bleed on the volume knob? What values do I need, or rather does it depend on the pickups and the volume potentiometer?
Any experiences with this?

jesus if a bunch of people coming together to make something that sounds cool is WRONG, then baby, I don't wan't to be right!

No seriously what, in your opinion, is the right way of going about making music?

>>73756146
Old strings won't stay in tune as long and will fuck up your intonation. It all matters how much you play and how often. If you're just casually playing you don't have to worry about it that much. I'd say every six months.

jorma kaukonen mostly used rickenbackers and ES-345s in his time with jefferson airplane, and was playing through cranked fender twin reverbs, like most of the san fran bands of that era. played with a lot of reverb/echo and fuzz

>>73757402

The opposite of whatever the fuck they are about.

They shouldn't have ever picked up an instrument. I'd wager many of them in that video did just because it was "cool" to do so at the time.

I mean, that video was overrused riffs and shredding with ridiculously clean production (which imho is the absolutest worst sin you can commit with metal), but you are a true fucking pleb if you hate an entire genre.

A true patrician listens to and enjoys a little of ALL genres of music because they all contribute something different and innovative to the whole.

The best musicians are those who practice and understand a vast array of different genres and can adapt and play any style they need to.

>>73757015
would recommend AC/DC, U2 and the Ramones stuff. you're basically just providing a steady beat but like a good drummer, this is the hardest part for most. today people can play millions of notes per second but can't create that steady constant rhythm line for your guitarist to work with. and when you record, you'll really see if you're good or not. when they isolate your track or recored you individually, it'll be all you and that beat so you'll hear that timing if it's of or not.

good luck in all your bass related endeavors, anon.

Just installed it, works really well. I recommend it honestly, easy mod and it makes the volume knob actually useful.

>he cant get it back on
>same thing happened to me
>he gets frustrated and accidentally drops the knurled metal knob on the body

Moral of the story: Make sure case keys work when buying used. If they don't, knock down the price.

Pick related or 1.14 if I'm feeling subtle. Or Jazz III Max Grip.

Don't sweat over the amp if you can't play yet and will only use it in a bedroom for learning. I got Behringer GM-108 for $20 from CL and I can barely turn it up to 2 before neighbours come knocking. Anything bigger or more expensive than that will be a total waste for you. Get a Pocket Pod ($50 second hand) instead if you want to mess around with tones.

So now it's literally impossible to ID froosh unless this faggot spills the beans or these are old pictures I never saw. I thought this was froosh coming back for a moment. Fuck you.

>>73757021
nah, listening now it sounds great, both the picking and hammerons/pulllofs

i like how you used both the major and minor 7th

also good impro skills

>>73756961
yeah i warmed up and remembered my licks lol

>>73743929
I'm the fag that bought the boss katana. Question, would you use overdrive or distortion pedals in the clean channel or in a crunch/overdrive channel? Complete newbie if you hadn't guessed already.

>>73758997
At least I bought new, so I'm not really at risk for that.

>>73760262
Why would you buy a modelling amp to use pedals on.
I mean the distortion even sounds decent on the Katana.

>>73756128
>taking the wood shed metaphor literally
Better the second time through. Nothing really stood out, though. The ascending pattern could have been played faster, for the sake of contrast or the following legato part could have been extended. One of those two parts could have been the climax of the solo.

>can play the solos from the Bluesbreakers album

>>73760346
It has Pedals/Effects built in. I'm not sure if I should use an OD effect in front of the crunch or lead channel or if that's only useful on the clean channel to add distortion.

>>73758545
Same. Well thank you anyway.
Leslie speakers are great

>>73747146
where from?

where I can download/find a good amount of VST and audio effects for playing guitar?

Anton Newcombe, lead singer of Brian Jonestown Massacre, you absolute pleb. They're the best band of the 90's.

Personal favorite:
I'm not for sale. I'm fucking Love, do you understand what I'm saying? Like, the Beatles were for sale......I give it away.

Anton has better quotes than any other musician alive right now. Prove me fucking wrong.
Rock and fucking roll ladies and gentlemen. This is it.

>>73760984
How in the fuck can you have never heard of them? They're fairly well known now.

Watch the documentary Dig!, as well. It's widely considered one of the best music documentaries available and it's hilarious.

>>73761012
I live under a rock

and I just read Newcombe hated that movie

>>73761069
>>73761069
He did, but he hates everything. It's a great fucking movie nonetheless

One of the best music movies I've ever seen, and I've seen almost all of them (probably)

Anyway, watch the movie and listen to:

>Their Satanic Majesties Second Request
>Bravery, Repetition, and Noise
