I've been playing guitar for almost 10 years. Don't know where my level's at but I usually play stuff from artists like Brendon Small, Mastodon, Baroness, Queens of the Stone Age and Acid Bath on my electric guitar. On my acoustic I'm usually just playing random stuff I feel like playing. Bob Dylan, American Football, Mac Demarco, Squidbillies outro theme song, the kind of music Adult Swim has playing before and after each commercial break. But I'm having this problem recently. Whether I try to learn a new song, improvise over a song, or make something up on my own I get no sense of fulfillment after the fact. I don't try to learn something new out of a drive like I used to. I feel no determination to learn something new anymore. I just learn something new out of boredom. Whenever I try something new I'm like "... I guess I'll do that". And after I'm done I say "well that's it then..." I'm not saying that I've known everything there is to know about guitar at this point and I know that when you're bored of something you just give up and do something else. But the thing is that I don't want to give up playing guitar completely because I've spent too much time, money, and dedication towards it. It's just this weird conundrum I'm going through where I'm not having fun playing guitar anymore. Any advice /gg/?

Ok thank you. I'll take off some highs and fix that lick at 14".
Which intro you prefer, the first, or the second one with the high inversions?

>>73783331
You burned out by playing to much.

Take like a couple months "off," from playing guitar and try out a new hobby. Loose yourself in something new.

Then when the time is right, you will find yourself wanting to play guitar again, and enjoying when yourself when you are playing.

Dick Dale, after all these years, is still the King of Surf guitar.

Not a lefty wimp. He just flips a right-handed guitar over and starts playing with strings as is.

Fuck, now that he's 80 I still better get a chance to see him play live.

I want to get stereo reverb in real time, without buying another amp.

Can I just send the mono signal of my guitar, from my Focusrite, into a stereo reverb pedal, and then send the stereo signal back into the Focusrite? I think this is possible.

Also this

Playing fast makes you a better guitar player.

If there were two players, both absolutely equal, except one of them could play parts faster than the other, he would be the greater, more skilled player.

Also pedals are a meme and a waste of money. Shitty players use and obssess over gear to compensate for their poor playing. It never works though.

juan alderete (the mars volta) and nick reinhart (tera melos, death grips) are the biggest gearheads in the business

they are also better players than you, more popular than you, and make more money than you.

gear is for creative people, and has nothing to do with your playing ability. you arent creative and playing boring unaffected guitar, a dying genre.

>>73784680
But if two players, both equal, and could both play the parts at the fastest speed, the one who plays slower is the more skilled player.

Ya that sounded very creative. Theyre so talented and creative, very musical. So much skill and technique involved. Lmao. Youre a fucking tone deaf pleb, I can tell.
>technical players
Is this a joke?

Do you have any evidence that theyre actually good players besides "dude theyre more popular than u"? All ive seen so far is shitty players using meme pedals as a crutch and a way for idiots like you to think theyre being creative somehow.

>>73785319
Not as a guitarist. He can be a seen as a good song writer, but his guitar skills were terrible.

>>73785331
I never claimed i'm Kurt Cobain. i'm a completely different type of musician. not worse than him, just different.

>People actually believe this

Dave Grohl is the Avril Lavigne of guitar music

>>73785370
>Guitar skills were terrible
Plebeian detected. Try coming up with riffs that are more memorable and fitting for the song than he did. He had a great ear for music.
He wasn't playing blues, bro. He didn't need ridiculous runs, and stupid tapping, it sounded good without it... and that is what we're all here for, right? Music? It's not about who has the best technique, it's what sounds good

>>73785411
>and that is what we're all here for, right?

I don't know about the rest of you faglords, but I'm only here for sweep arpeggios and alternate picked runs at 240 bpm

>>73785411
i still don't really understand why the foo fighters are so popular. it's pure corporate radio rock schlock. i have no idea how they've survived because that type of music has been pretty much dead for like 10+ years

>>73785411
ya, again, he was good at writing songs (riffs too, if you're into his lame shit) but a terrible guitarist.

Dave Grohl is lame as fuck though.

>>73785468
Dick

>>73785531
They are popular because a lot of people are fucking stupid. It's really that simple. Read the comments on that article, people seriously saying Grohl is/was more talented and a better songwriter than Cobain. It's laughable.

Grohl would be working in McDonalds right now if it wasn't for Nirvana blowing up... and he didn't even play on the some of the songs.

We could vary it, and use your idea too, to make it more dynamic. Anything that will make us play together.

>>73786981
thanks man. if you can't do it fast right away just start really slow and understand the rhythm behind it. Idk how to explain really. Like think of how each note fits into the beat of the metronome, then start slowly and work your way up to full speed.

here's the ending part (which is trickiest for me) at a moderate bpm then at full speed.

I never played a PRS before. but i agree they sound good from the demos i've seen, and they also look pretty fucking beautiful, i love that design.

What do you think makes them the "best guitars out there today"? what makes them better than my Ibanez RG prestige?

>>73788233
I'm just really lusting after a PRS 509 right now. It's like the wood of a Les Paul (Mahogany back + Maple top) mixed with the pickup configuration of an HSH Strat with coil splitting and a trem. It's like the best of all main guitars put into one.

I don't know a lot about Ibanez.

>>73788233
not the guy you replying to but
i think the prs design comes off as a lightweight les paul and it sounds quite similar too. the neck isn't looking too bad either.

rg prestige might have a great neck but i don't like the tone of ibanez for some reason.
i really wanted a prestige a few years ago, i even tried it up at a music shop and was impressed. but my taste in guitars evolved

I've been using the justinguitar beginner's course as a point of reference since I'm just starting out for about 2 months now. How important is it to cover every single chord transition that all learned chords can make? It's something like 270+ transitions to learn which isn't bad, but don't some of these transitions rarely happen?

you don't have to learn every single one.
when you start learn how to play songs you will notice all chords are pretty much the same just in different order.

How fast did you learn how to play?

How do I learn songs? I can play songs when I look at the tabs, but I can't memorize them.

>>73788614
just learn chords instead. its much better way to get started.

when you will run into fingerpicking/arpeggio its gonna be chords but just broken down to notes

>>73788653
I'm not new to playing, I just can't memorize songs. This method works for folk and rock songs, but not for delta blues for example, so I just end up improvising.

>>73788615
Damn. This is nice.

Guys, how much for a good Fender Les Paul?

>>73788699
well if you are new to playing i don't recommend going into sub genres of blues.

pickup some pop/rock songs that have progressions of like 4-5 chords. if you want to get into blues learn pentatonic scale and land of A7. if you want to get serious about blues just pickup a dvd or something

>>73788724
I've seen a lot of Gibsons selling for $500 and less in my country.

if i want to play like the solo in 5:20, what excersise should i do? what references should i study? what harmonical resources?

thank you

also, if you can tell me what that tone is id be really grateful

Random question:
Can I get good punk metal sounds out of the jcm 2000 or 800 dsl Marshall head? Alot of people recommend me orange but the bands I like seem to all play Marshall, but then is there a better model for punk metal sound?

Since you liked the previous riff i posted here, here is another riff i made.

Yes

fuck off kid, this is guitar general not beginners general

if i use headphones or speakers with "flat" equalizing and boost the basses, wont i get the exact same thing that people who use those "special bass edition" stuff use?

>>73790818
Hey samuel, how it's like not making a single original piece of music your entire life, yet still having the audacity to laugh at actual original composers?

>>73790825
you might get the volume but not the punch i suppose

>>73790834
i just never took the time. when i sit noodling chords and riffs i play better stuff than your soundcloud crap

>>73790851
You are playing for how many years, samuel?

Your youtube channel exists for 4 years, so you play at least 4 years.

Yet you still did not compose a single original piece in your entire life.

I would say you have no right to laugh at me

>>73790883
anyone can "compose" lol thats no merit lol

i play since mid 2012

>>73790928
You play for 5 years, you never composed anything in your entire life, yet you claim composing is very easy and anyone can do it.

Try to compose something as musically sophisticated as the piece i made here >>73790099

I'm waiting. you said composing is very easy so you must be able to do it, right? i'm waiting for your clyp

what is the punch?

isnt punch just higher bass frequencies?

>>73790992
>Tbh i agree with him that pretty much anyone can compose music, but not anyone can compose exceptional music. that's where you need to have talent

anyone can compose exceptional music just like everyone can become a neurosurgeon. You just have to practice 4-6 hour a day, everyday for around 30 years

>vi vii i and arpeggiated chords

>another riff
that riff that you repeat the most are some interesting voicins so i give you that
i have a folder of little riffs but i have been too lazy to make a song with them and too egoistical to do a just simple song

>>73790992
yes and your stuff is not exceptional

>>73791056
but you do have of course lmao

>>73791066
It's NOT Vi VII i, did you even listen to it?

Those riffs are not simple at all. they are definitely more sophisticated than Nirvana riffs (i'm arguing about the complexity of the riff here, not the quality of the riff, since quality is subjective).

>yes and your stuff is not exceptional
Well that's your opinion. but i think i'm pretty exceptional. im certainly a better composer than you since you play guitar for 5 years yet you never composed anything

>>73791118
yes it is. and its also in the key of Em, sooo generic. Em C D.

>im certainly a better composer than you since you play guitar for 5 years yet you never composed anything
so youre gonne keep repeating that. ok imma write a song for gg

actually i composed "every guitar sounds the same" some months ago

I'm sorry, but you are a really stupid person

>>73791208
the very first thing you play on https://clyp.it/ny2jfh5m is Em C D. i'll consider that you're baiting now

>>73791237
It's Em7(omit5) C7(omit3) D7(Omit3)

It's more than what you are giving it credit for

>>73791118
its not entry level shit but its really nothing to be so proud of. Definitely nothing to get so cocky about. Just keep composing, when you get really good people will tell you without you having to push your shit down their throats

>>73791356
That wasn't one of my favorite compositions, just a riff i wanted to show you guys at /gg/

Samuel who never composed anything tried to shit on me so i had to defend myself

>>73791237
man you don't need to chop and slam every riff. try to mix it up.
sounds prog or something there isn't much variety other than few riffs ending at a time

>>73791345
>look mom I added a 7th on every chord

>>73791368
you defend yourself by ignoring those shits and telling them sure whatever.

if you go " LOLL BRO check this ebin compositions? can you do better than that? thought not bro, better luck next time it has some chords and stuff"

you're just sinking to their level

>>73791396
Later in that same piece -

G6(Add 9) - D#6(Add 9) - F#6(Add 9) - F6sus2sus4

Why aren't you mentioning that part?

>>73791421
one thing ill agree with crazyaga is that every player is different and music is viewed differently than by each person.

>>73791421
he is unable to do that cause he cant stand losing the oportunity to get the troll's approval

>>73791443
>look mom I added a 9 on every chord

>>73791491
It's more than 9 on every chord, the last chord is completely different from the others.

And also, just describing the chords doesn't describe the entire piece, since it also contains transitions that are played outside of the chords

>>73791516
yeah its much more.

>>73791516
>>73791443
seriously, stop arguin with the >look mom dude, hes just wining at his troll attempt

>>73791491
>>73791396
Just reminding you all that this guy who complains about my piece being "too simple" for him, never made a single composition in his entire life

>>73791536
I'm not samuel though.

>>73791532
every troll has some truth to it

>>73791540
How do i know your not Samuel?

Aniway, you cannot deny this: my piece was objectively more complicated musically than Nirvana songs

>>73791516
Punk rocker here, i think that every human emotion can be expressed using only fifths and pentatonic scales.

IMO all the rest of music is just pointless complexity so that people can feel like theyre better or something.

just my two cent, my answer always when people call pu nk rock too simple

>>73791541
but it could be such a minuscule, warped version of the truth so that its inconsequent.

>>73791550
hes not me

>>73791550
I can capitalize sentences and play other things than buttrock.

>>73791552
>how's everyone's day so far
like shit, i hate my life i have almost no time to practice guitar because i have to study a career i hate.

once i get my degree im gonna get the shittiest job possible and play all day

>>73791560
some people's emotions are better and more complex dude. thats what you dont get.

>>73791560
> i think that every human emotion can be expressed using only fifths and pentatonic scales.

That's not true imo, but alright.

But i do agree that simplicity is not essentially a bad thing when the song is actually good

>>73791579
>some people's emotions are better and more complex dude. thats what you dont get.
nah
i fell sad or happy just the same way bach did.

I expres it in a clever simple way then have time to drink beer and party, he had to practice 12 hours per day and then pretend to be friends with douchebag kings not to starve

And btw i did not even think at all about what chords im playing when i made that piece, i only cared about how they sound.

I just don't really give a fuck about chord names

holy shit is the trolling intense today. And that retard falling for it isn't helping either

>>73791607
wow you're really great then

>>73791630
I only made this response because of this guy >>73791237 who wrongly claimed my piece uses " Em C D"

>>73791618
>playing all day have its downsides
well but playing like one hour per day and being super confident in your instrument must feel so good.

i've never experienced that

>>73791638
>>73791345
and you say it doesnt? kek

what is it then? D4/9 Gm/C Am/4? LmaoOOOooooOo

>>73791679
It's Em7(omit5) C7(omit3) D7(Omit3)

NOT Em - C - D

And also, it's just a part of the piece, not all of it, too

>>73791618
I've got two tips for people who have pains after playing.
One is controlling tension. Got that one from Rick Graham, Guthrie Govan also talks about it in his books.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsJfpQJJ50k
Basically eliminate any un-needed movement and force. It even makes you faster once you do that.

The other one is a little stupid and only applies to a few guitarists.
Stop playing on a shitty guitar. And by shitty I mean "chink shit" tier. My first guitar had awful ergonomy on the fretboard and it just led to discomfort.

>>73791630
>nig, you probably masturbate to the circle of fifths while yelling im better than you to a youtube video of succesful rap musicians
That's a pretty funny picture.

>>73791697
>it's a DOG, not an ANIMAL

>>73791643
i just repeat the same shit and maybe peep in ultimateguitar to see new chords/tabs
get a road guitar man

>>73791723
EM and EM7(omit5) are objectively different chords.

can someone listen and say which of these 2 takes you prefer?

on the first one i played the chords just like the original's
on the second one i played a part thats not present on the original

https://clyp.it/cafi2sv2
https://clyp.it/cgu0wdzf

it's for posting on freelancer musicians groups
i think the different arrangement can be cool but maybe its important to show i can play the song without wanking over it

>>73791755
Main guitar is neck through.
Main bass is an Ibanez and has their all access neck joint, which is almost like a neck through.
Old guitar had a block neck joint.

Block neck joints are absolutely disgusting and shouldn't be on any guitar.

Here's the two main protagonists.

neck wood has more effect on tone than body's

>>73791723
One thing which can instantly help is to measure how much force you are using to fret the notes. I found out that I was using way too much power each time I pressed a note on fretboard and that led to unnecessary wrist issues etc pain after practice sessions. You only need to use lightest amount of force to get proper note. Do it and be surprised.

>>73792180
It's ok to be a poser, not everyone can truly be a punk rocker

>>73792033
If you press down too much you'll begin to bend the note a noticeable amount and it'll sound ugly.

got a bunch of pedals today, they're all pretty cheap but i'm hoping for some fun sounds.

Alright guys I've fallen in love with an offset

I really dig the duo sonic reissue. I'm gonna get the orange one, drop in a JB to the bridge and leave the neck pup stock. I like the shape of it. I like how it's a hardtail. I like the simplicity of it. I really fucking like how it's a babby scale length.

The music I like to play and write doesn't need 3 pickups and push pull knobs and all that. It doesn't need a whammy bar. It'll be perfect for me.

>>73792299
What pedals senpai?

>>73792325

the new ones are mxr compressor, mooer reverb, tc electronic digital delay, ibanez tube screamer, and a footswitch for my head. I already had a boss chorus and ehx big muff. All basic stuff but I wasn't trying to get too fancy and get things I knew I wouldn't really use. debating getting a mini wah but i've never really been a big fan of wah sounds.

And i also like how you pretend my piece is just "3 chords". it just screams how insecure you are about your own claims

If you were really believing your claims, you wouldn't need to trick yourself and tell yourself my songs are just 3 chords.

Please stop, I'm cringing. You're embarassing youself with these 3 chords "piece".
It is three chords, i'm not making that up. Three basic chords with some add notes and a repetitive riff. That's what your advanced nirvana-esque song is.

>>73792937
Dude, "creating original music" like your "music" is what i do while i'm noodling with the instrument and playing random ideas. That is what you're so proud about: random little ideas.

>>73793029
It's not out of insecurity, it's out of him being childish and saying objectively wrong things about my music.

Samuel sometimes follows me to other threads to harass me there, it's not just on /gg/. he clearly has something personal against me - i guess i just trigger him in all the wrong ways.

>>73793058
most of the time, tripfags/namefags equals dunning krueger

>>73793058
Just playing a solo is not creating an original song. if you were truly an original musician you would have made some original songs by now, but nope. you play guitars for 5 years and you managed to have zero original ideas for a song.

And even then, I saw your "noodling", wasn't a huge portion of your noodling just riffs and licks you learned to play from songs made by other people?

https://clyp.it/ny2jfh5m

That's really all i need to do to debunk your claim that my piece is just "Em C D". anyone who will actually listen to this will see how stupid you are right now

>>73793221
Yeah, Way Huge has another muff pedal that's better than that one for starters

what the fuck is m7b5 good for, it always sounds weird and shitty, even when its the chord from the harmony, fuck you m7b5, i already have triads, also 7 and m7 suck my dick for a chance to appear a little, why should i use your ugly sounding ass

>>73793247
I'll show that your music is just E C D in a very objective way. Wait just a bit.

>>73793274
Play the high strings and hammer on the bass note

>>73793276
Oki i'm waiting.

But i just want to remind you that while you are bitching about my piece of music, you are a person who never made an original piece of music his entire life.

There's only one way to resolve this laddies. Both of you a guitar battle, NOW!!!!! Talking is cheap, but a real "musician" can listen to a backing track and improvise or compose something on the spot. I will choose the backing track, you guys play over it, and by strawpoll, we are gonna choose the winner. Don't you dare to pussy out now.

CRAZYAGA

VS

SAMUEL

WHO WILL WIN THIS EPIC BATTLE OF /GG/ SHITPOSTERS?

>>73793270
which one?

Theres no objectivity in music theory, there just isnt

You can use the notes from the C scale and say youre playing in A minor, sure even if the bass is doing C on the root, even if theres a c chord on each strong tempo

those are just convention and suggestions, that are broken and defied constantly

music theory is a tool for artists to make beautyful things it is not meant for autist to fight each other

>>73788918
bolt on neck would be good too

>>73793330
>WHO WILL WIN THIS EPIC BATTLE OF /GG/ SHITPOSTERS?
everyone loses

>>73793330
>There's only one way to resolve this laddies. Both of you a guitar battle, NOW!!!!!

that would be interesting, sounds like crazyaga knows his theory and writes cool progressions, but probably the other autist is much better at

>>73793330
To make it more interesting, I will choose a backing track's style than neither of you are comfortable with. So, no pussy now. Don't use your mouth, use your guitars to solve your differences.

>>73793331
Russian Pickle, thing sounds way better. Owned the swollen pickle for years but this one blows it out of the water imo

cont ..
>>73793352

much better at shredding.

they could try to impress us each with his own skill

and finally as a way to put a friendly ending to it, yaga could do a backing track while the other guy improvises over it

>>73793355
>, I will choose a backing track's style th
im fairly confident that yaga will lose a one on one shredding contest. but there is more than shreding to playing gutiar

>>73793352
>>73793371

I mean, crazyaga could solo using chords, and throw some interesting lines if he knows his theory.

Samuel might just play the pentatonic scale, but notes don't matter in here. What we care about is who can phrase in a more musical manner. Shredding or not, it doesn't matter, we are gonna judge their "musicianship".

This could lead some interesting results. However, notice how both of them have gone silent, they are scared shitless.

CRAZYAGA BLOWN THE FUCK OUT!!!!!!!!!!

DON'T IGNORE THE GUITAR BATTLE YOU PUSSY! GET YOUR HONOR BACK, AND ACCEPT IT!

>>73793330
ok i'm waiting for the backing track

>>73792206
Yeah but even before bending the note go sharp you have huge amount of useless force if you are not aware of it.
