/gg/ - Guitar and Bass General

High guys my nuts too high should I take it out and shave it or can I change the intonation on the other end to get the right notes?

Gibson or Fender /gg/?

The last thread was awesome. It looks like there are plenty of decent guitar players on /mu/, who typically are lurkers. It seems the most vocal, opinionated, and arrogant poster, I.E crazyfaga, is a gross misrepresentation of the true skill that lurks this board....

>>73798326
As far as solid bodies go I prefer Fender but the 335 is obviously superior to the Starcaster and Coronado. When it comes to dual humbucker guitars and guitars and other guitars suited for high gain playing I actually prefer PRS over Gibson but I'm too poor for either.

Are Jackson die cast locking tuners actually a locking tuner? Just bought a used one that had them and apparently they are normal tuners, and even looking online at headstock shots, just normal ones, not locking

>>73798367
Ya we need to do more of those battle things and have people give constructive feedback. It is interesting to hear everyone's styles and I also enjoy getting different opinions on my playing if it's valid feedback and not just stupid snarky shitposting from someone who doesnt contribute anything.

My first proper amp

>>73798326
All memes considered, Gibson

If there's any tech death bros still around, have a listen to this. The drums are just made up on a drum machine and guitars aren't edited at all. It's just a quick little sample so I can hear what I have so far and figure out where I want to go with it. Idk where to go after the solo at the end. Yes I know the solo is sloppy, I just made it up on the spot and recorded it all in one take without practicing much. Any ideas?

http://vocaroo.com/i/s0qy0aYM1btj

I also have some more tech death riffs to contribute if anyone wants but none of them are recorded right now.

Squire or epiphone?

>>73798623
This is fucking awesome dude, sick composition. I especially like that part at 1:23
I think it would be cool to bring back the intro riff as a verse after the solo

>>73798670
Jazz or blues?

>>73798326
jfc dude take better care of your fingerboard

>>73798623
This actually sounds pretty good

>>73798730

This is how nitro maple boards go when played frequently. The finish wears off leaving the bare wood exposed.

I prefer it to a glossy maple fingerboard!

>>73798670
Some of Epiphone's hollow and semi-hollows are actually legit good guitars and not budget Gibson. With Squier even if some of their guitars are decent for the price (Classic Vibe and Vintage Modified) they're still budget Fender.

Epiphone's solid bodies are always shit.

>>73798710
>>73798772
thanks a lot guys. I'm not sure I want to go back to the verse after the solo, I'd like to have a middle part with some really heavy riffs and then go back to the verse, or not go back the verse at all and have the 2nd half of the song be totally different than the 1st. Idk. Appreciate the feedback though. Feel free to share some of your ideas too.

>>73798810
>nitro
well there's your fucking problem

>>73798595

Depends on the Gibson for me.

So many of them are just peices of shit, wheras generally any Fender is at the very least an okay guitar. Vintage (like thru to mid 60s) Gibsons are amazing if they don't have any issues, but it's less than a 20% hit rate on decent ones these days.

The one in that pic is absolutely flawless, which is the reason I bought it.

I'm the guy who wrote the second half, here's a mix with bass and fake drums. I repeated the main parts and came in with a low harmony at the end. And instead of that 11 at the end of the second bar I played a 10 to keep the first half all in Diminished

but like, how important is this skill for a musician, how much of a priority should it be?


could we make a logical progression of what you should absolutely know before going to the next step in theory.

something like:

1)staff basics
2)name of the notes
3)intervals
4)circle of fifths
etc...

it would be interesting to make official mu guides with the collaboration of all and start condensing them into archives

>>73799319
Thanks m8

>>73799331
Ya I was thinking that. I play only in E standard. I want to get a 7 string since I hate tuning guitars down.

>>73799253
Hi watt stack single coils slight delay and reverb and compressor.

>>73799355
i think that is a good list of importance plus chord theory

>>73799335
do you mean that in a good or bad way?

>>73799375
Fuck that m8 keep it six string. Learn to make heavy sounds. Its what i like to do. Try some fast muted riffs with a lot of power chords near the nut.

>>73799375
You don't necessarily need to tune down to get heavy. Inverted powerchords will get you there, especially when you have a bass to beef it up

>>73799393
good. its good playing.

>>73799373
what are some of your influences? also what drum program are you using?

>>73799342
that's....surprising

one guy that really knows to use scales and use them melodically all over the fretboard is Michael Schenker. most of the others rely on simple voiced blues boxes.

>>73799417
Ya I can do that. Thanks for the input, I'll try to do it more.
>>73799289
this was downtuned though right? sounds heavy as fuck. C standard? 7+ strings?

>>73799440
Strats have a way of sounding like strats especially if they are both single coil.

>>73799369
I don't think the drum sound lends itself too well to it.

>>73799417
>>73799428
It's all about contrast really. And you can just say fourths instead of "inverted power chords" really.
I've heard one of the tricks is to have the bass play the fifth below instead of the octave below so that it basically makes "a huge power chord" but I haven't tried to see if that is true.

But yeah fourths are great.

Technically the bass defines it. If it's playing the lower note it's a fourth, if it's playing the higher note it's an inverted powerchord
>>73799544
Yup

>>73799558
yes, to get the inbetween tones without having to deal with such disgusting like a strat

Someone recap what the good Sammy did to get Crazyaga banned please?

>>73799518
its not fourths, its a fifth below
calling it a fourth would change the root note and make it a different chord

>>73798457

Mate, this is something I wasn't expecting, not on /gg/. Josh Middleton is a god among men.

>>73800141
I just check it out
it's fucking out of key
A minor an easy scale on its own, here it's even written on the video title, you can't even whip out an excuse for not playing in key here. Even I can do it, and I've never practiced improvising once.

>>73799980
That solo in particular is absolutely insane, but at the same time it feels so melodic, and dare I say, soulful. I will REALLY miss that on their next album. Dude could really write some really cool leads.

I mean samuels wasnt exactly good but crazys was utter dogshit. I sounded like that when i was 12 and hadnt even played for a year

>>73800335
If only that was the only offense. Those out of tune bends, lack of rhythm whatsoever. That track reminded me of guitar center on saturdays. For someone who brags so much shit about being a "exceptional composer", to improvise this badly, is actually hilarious.

>>73800385
I think samuels was quite good actually

>>73800543
it was too basic and repetitive imo
reminded me of my younger brother when he first started learning guitar

>>73800000

Beginnerfag here
How the fuck do I place my right hand?
I play on a Strat
Over the bridge? Wrist on the bridge? On the strings?
This is really bugging me because I can't get it right.
I saw a tutorial from Justin Guitar saying to use my hand to mute strings when doing bends, but then saw this other guy telling me to rest my hand on the bridge for picking
Then I see people like slash and I don't know where they put their hands.

Also, is there a way to get a louder hammer on and pull off? Mine are really weak (specially when trying to tap) is it my fingers? should I hit the fret harder?

>>73803752
Sort of this>>73803826
You've got to really have it in you. But I also think just listening to and appreciating a lot of music helps if you want to be more creative. Personally when I improvise it's like I just have a melody in my head and transfer that to the guitar. Playing from your head and not your hands, if you know what i mean lol

>>73804161
Just do what feels good man. Your style will eventually change if its bad. Especially if youre just starting.

>>73804161
Whatever is more comfortable really. It's a good habit to learn to pick with your hand fully floating for jazz and fast leads but if you're just playing rock it doesn't matter much since you will want to get used to palm muting and what not.

What are /gg/'s thoughts on midi/synth guitars?
Personally i think they've been used to create some great music, though they seem very gimmicky. I know eric clapton, josh homme, and Kevin Parker from tame impala has used them

>>73808783
ace frehley used them too. i believe all the synths on his 80s albums were synth guitars

what are some good albums to jam to? do you ever jam to rap albums?

whats a good bass overdrive? i might buy the aftershock bass distortion for its insane versatility.

also would they sound nice with a semi hollow bass?

probably also doing weird shit in the studio like layering and playing with the EQ filters. There's no way you get this effect live.

I want to get a new guitar and I'm most likely gonna get some form of jaguar with humbuckers(and it doesn't matter how good they are as I'm likely gonna change them out) in it, but I'm stuck on something

Those Japanese blacktop HH ones look nice and aren't too expensive, but they don't have the trem, so the other option is the KC jag, which is likely gonna cost me several hundred more, has the trem, I can get it new, but fuck me I'd feel like such a fucking tool playing the KC one. Like I'm not even particularly anti-Nirvana, but like I just couldn't help but feel like an absolute fucking faggot if I had a Kurt Cobain guitar.

Which one should I get?

>>73811699
Also I've considered the new american professional but switching out the pick-ups for p90s, but that wouldn't be quite what I want, still might go with it tho, not sure.

A daily reminder that S style guitars are easily the greatest ever made and only tiny hands faggots, poorfags, and retards will oppose this.

T style is a very close #2, everything else is down the shitter

they are the most playable/comfortable, most durable, most customizable guitars you can buy.

I'd considered it, but something about getting a MIM guitar puts me off and I think if I got the CP over the KC just for the fact that I don't want to have a KC guitar I'd be upset at myself in a different way. I've also considered getting the KC and having it painted a different color over the artificially-aged look it has but I'm not sure where I'd go to have it painted and I don't know how much that'd cost me(I'm also aware I could paint it myself, but three years of failing wood-shop in highschool has put me off from ever doing any wood work on my guitars)

if i take old slow blues and play it fast will i be a good pentatonic soloer?

>>73812447
but how to become a good fast pentatonic soloer, play the same shit faster or is it different shit?

>>73812463
not the exactly same you know

>>73812463
Becoming a good, fast pentatonic soloer is improvising (Hence the "your brain"). Learning licks from old blues and other songs will help you understand and therefore to come up with "good" solos.

>>73812463

Fender. The only Gibsons I like are acoustic.

On my 52th birthday party my mom said something snide about my bullet belt. Then later I got drunk on Bud Light limearitas and fell alseep with my corpse paint on, absolutely ruining my new 600-thread count sheets.

That day I looked myself in the mirror and said, "well old boy, it's time to move on." I got a job that day, and my dad told me he loved me for the first time. We went out fishing that afternoon and he patted me on the back even though the fish I caught were pretty small.

One year later and here I am, married to a gorgeous girl, 3 kids, and I'm about to make partner at my firm. Metal got me through some tough times, but now I'm passing the torch to the younger crowd. Hell, I'm getting close to retirement age these day.

I'm a parrothead now. Just gimme some white sand and cool tunes with my old lady singing "If you like pina coladas.... getting caught in the rain...." haha! We've been through a lot but she's been a good woman to me.

i've got an AC15 C-2 or some shit. I saw this post and decided to record a quick little clip of me noodling around. this is basically what it sounds like clean, and it can take fuzz pedals pretty well.

I got mine used, and out of nowhere it will snap into this really loud hum. not your typical tube amp hum, but something wayy louder and a bit of a nuisance. i probably need to get it checked out, dirty components or some shit maybe

How do G&L guitars compare to Fender guitars, specifically MIA? I'm leaning towards a G&L after clicking around on the internet.
But how would I go about buying a G&L? I can't find much information. There's an ASAT Classic for $350 but there's another Classic that's $1250, both used on GC. Then there are some that are $700. The $350 one has a Seymour Duncan pickup in the bridge. Would changing the pick up drop the price that much?

What are the best strings for a parlor guitar? I'm using 0.11 but I want more bass, so is it safe to put thicker strings on parlors?

>>73815501
Depending of your pickups but plug directly into your computer's line in. Setup ASIO4ALL drivers. Install favourite DAW, I use Reaper but you might use something else. Install Amplitube for example. It takes a while to get everything working properly but that's it. When you record or enable audio monitoring, make sure the line in is not clipping. You should be good to go. Also use good monitor headphones.

It's perfectly good for home use and small recording stuff. You don't need any more highend stuff than that.

>>73815585
But if you plan to make semi-professional projects or something else, then you will need more robust configuration. But for beginner bedroom guitarist, you don't need anything else if you play home.

>>73815501
So depending of your needs but for doing stuff at home you don't need an amplifier when you plug your guitar into your computer. That's the beauty of technology. Only thing what might be an issue is that if your pickups are not strong enough you might need amplification before going to computer but.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hhv9rHUfHFk

This is good example what you need to do.

"lmao sweep-taps"

anyone use walrus audio products?

i'm wondering how /gg/ feels about them, i've never used any of their stuff still might splash the cash for either a voyager or mayflower. i can only afford one at the moment but i hear stacked together they sound great.

Any recommendations for a free/piratable source to learn music theory [specifically with guitar for example purposes] that explains things as simply impossible instead of masturbatory jargon of little to no relevance only serving to inflate the author's ego

Hello, since i was a kid i was interested in heavy metal but didnt play anything, then i started playing and got interested in blues, doom metal and psych rock.

I always had the existential doubt if this was because playing heavy metal is too hard and technical or my tastes really changed.

It's like, everyone has prepared explanation about how their ugly fat titles older girlfriend is the best. But who wouldn't like to screw a hot slim athletic big boobed 18 year old?

Does anyone have the same insecurity as me about falling for a genre just because its easy but not the one you really liked?

>>73817798
fuck off righty brainlet

>>73817911
Was a sincere question, not thinly-veiled bitching. Made attempts to learn before many times but guides tend to poorly explain things or fail to translate concepts to playing

>>73777777

>>73817798
literally everywhere on the internet. The trickiest part always is just to use a right progression on knowing something correctly before moving on to more advanced concepts.

But if you truly want an ellaborated book just torrent something by berkeley or any other famous music school.

Also:
>that explains things as simply impossible
How can you ask the impossible from a guide.


>>73817944
>Made attempts to learn before many times but guides tend to poorly explain things or fail to translate concepts to playing

Music theory is really really simple, it's a lot of information but none of the concepts are hard like quantum rocket surgery. Don't pin on others your own learning disabilities or you will never progress.

If all else fails just go to a teacher

>>73818086
But rather find a hand-holdy guide. Holy fuck I need sleep. What I find to be the issue is I learn by repeating exercises/testing myself over and over however I'm not really sure how to do that with theory

>>73818111
>What I find to be the issue is I learn by repeating exercises/testing myself over and over however I'm not really sure how to do that with theory


Theres lot of theory excersises, but it depends on where youre at

for example if you dont know the notes, draw an empty fretboards and add in the notes randomly.

Learn the notes backwards and fowards repeat them.

Learn the intervals

learn the circle of fifths...

etc..

there are also some theory HABITS that you should incorporate, for example, every time you play a song knowing the root and scales used, every time you play a chord for think what components it has, what inversions, practice scales sing all notes, etc...

sup guys can you notice any off timing on this, especially on the fast strums

How is psych rock not hard?

So someone gave me a set of Seymour Duncan Gus G pickups and the polepieces are rusted as shit, so I'm trying to figure out how to clean it. The rest of the pickups are fine, just the polepiece tips, so would I be able to suspend it facefirst into a dish of vinegar for remove the rust? My concern is just if the top of the bobbins might be affected by the vinegar

dont know if it can be affected but i'm sure the tone isnt affected by the rustings

>>73818697
No, not really.

>>73818820
great then, thanks

>>73817836
Not really. You practice what you like and what is closest to your heart. If you are too lazy to practice you don't really want to play after all. You don't care about playing guitar properly if you say you don't want to practice properly.

There are two kinds of people in this world - those who talk and those who do.

It's the same thing with everything else in this world. If you go to gym and expect results in 3 months you are going to get disappointed. Things take time and those who persevere are going to get the first prize. Those who complain and quit... well they suck and always going to suck because they don't spend any effort.

/gg/ is dieing, i wonder who is killing it

>>73818813
Yeah I'm aware soundwise they'll be fine, but I guess the original owner wasn't kind to them cause they scratched off most of the funky printing the Gus G's come with so I was going to acetone wipe off all the printing. The polepieces are just an eyesore, and not in some relic-type of way either.

not hard like heavy metal

>>73818874
take your eyes off then so they dont get "sore" as you say

>>73818865
What I mean that I found playing bendy bluesy shit very easy as well and that's kind of my default playing - you can compare it to scribbling doodles while talking to phone. It comes kind of automatically.

But if you want to progress you need to push yourself out of your comfort zone until what was painful becomes your next comfort level.

whenever i hear this kind of speech i think its people who have shitty lives having to justify themselves

i enjoy practicing, it is a fun time. lel at people who have to force themselves to do things

also im not the one you replied to

>>73818906
the only thing making metal hard are the fast tempos

>>73818906
Well they both, are based on pentatonic blues and rock scale. Depending what you play can be hard regardless of music style. It's dumb to say "metal is hardest" because it's not hard after you know how to pick right sound and when you can pick 16th notes @ 180 bpm and do melodies in that kind of tempo. You can do the same in every kind of musical genre.

But this said, imho, it's very good to learn how to play metal because it's not as relaxed to play as some other types of music. You can build endurance and other technical skills a lot by practicing some metal type of stuff.

>>73818949
You don't understand my point at all. I'm not justifying anything. You are now being obnoxious little cunt. Shove your Gibson up your ass.

>>73819140
do you think that's not enough?

>when you can pick 16th notes @ 180 bpm and do melodies in that kind of tempo
easier said than done
