Im also the fag who gave you honest feedback about exploring tonalities outside the pentatonic scale and incorporating them into your playing.

Why? Because it's true?

"Rock is black music" is so incredibly overblown. The influence of blues in rock was momentary and by the time you get interesting rock like Yes, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin post-LZII, etc., that influence is almost completely gone, and in any case is completely dwarfed by the influence of English folk, classical, art-music, and insular genre-internal influences. And blues itself was the result of American blacks imitating the European folk tunes of the continent. But no one says "blues is just stolen white music". The whole thing is retarded white guilt bullshit.

sup /gg/
i want to learn to play over chords, do you have any easy backing track?
also any tips for that? i've never really worried about changing the arpeggio im playing on time

>>73886089
what genre, be more specific, theres exactly twenty two million trillion ways to play over a chord.

Also, search for a blues progression backing track or a II V I jazz backing track, those are about the simplest tracks you can get

My bass has a wicked bow in the neck since I bought it. Its easy enough to fix with an allen key right?

>>73886140
yeah i was looking for something like the II V I backing track, thank you!

tips to play tremolo fast, how to do it? do i have to like practice every day and increase the tempo bpm metronome?

is it all wrist?

is it all forearm?

is it both?

why does my bicep gets tense, if i dont get it tense i cant improve speed how to imporve speed hten?

>>73886180
yes turn the allen clockwise, to tighten the truss screw

>>73886215
>>73884387
tremolo picking is easy af, let me laugh at you
>why does my bicep gets tense, if i dont get it tense i cant improve speed how to imporve speed hten?
you play at a pace which you can play relaxed then you speed it up gradually. just like any other technique youre tensing up your muscles with

>>73886217

I think it needs to go the other way since the strings on the 15th fret are nearly an inch off the neck

>>73886254
it works the other way round, you tighten it and it decreases the bow
but youre measuring by pressing by the start and the end of the fretboard, right?

>>73886247
but like, how to make sure that as i increase my tempo it wont make my bicep more sore?

also, is tremolo picking wrist or arm or both?

>>73886288

I dont have gauges or any of that stuff but when I look down the neck and play it you can see its way off. I dont know anything about this but I'm going to check which way to turn it just in case I'm getting memed on into breaking my bass.

>>73886366
clockwise

also make sure you get that book its very good.

>but like, how to make sure that as i increase my tempo it wont make my bicep more sore?
this is how:
>increase the tempo a bit
>try to tremolo pick it without tensing your muscles
>you can't
>you slow it down

>increase the tempo a bit
>try to tremolo pick it without tensing your muscles
>you can
>keep doing it

>>73886406
so if i try i will eventually can? like just try to relax? how much can i workout without overexerting myself? are there good guides to this? are the sam eprinciples applied to alternate picking?

>>73886366
the strings pull the neck causing a bow. the truss rod pulls it to the other side. the more you tighten it the straighter it gets, until its convex

maybe its the saddles that are high
press some string at both the 1st and 15th frets. there should be just a tiny space, like a credit cards thickness. enough so the open string/first frets dont buzz

>>73886406
also, i want to be able to mantain tremolo with good technique for a long time.

should i aim to increase temp for short burst or increase and only keep it up if i can play it at the time im aiming for

>>73886453
>>73886529
>so if i try i will eventually can?
yes you will can if you practice it anon
>are the sam eprinciples applied to alternate picking?
yes
>like just try to relax?
yes try to loosen it up. just do the movement without strenghtening up your arm. the only strenght should be on holding the pick, but none tensing the arms.
if you tremolo at a slower speed you can do it relaxed, right? you practice it at that pace so you can do it consistently, then gradually speed it up

>>73886529

Thanks.

I'm making a guitar stand like pic related now out of some bits of wood.
I'll post a pic of the bow when I make the stand. I guess the whole thing needs a good setup, I can probably do a rough job of it.

>>73886529
It's just a matter of relaxing, just like with everything else on the guitar.
Tension means you're less efficient, both in speed and endurence.
Use the wrist for the tremolo picking and move the forearm/arm to go up/down the strings.

>>73886718
Yes, but it sounds like shit. Muting is the most important part of sweep picking, other than that it's almost like a slower strum.

samuel why dont you use a metronome?

Set the metronome to whatever tempo you're trying to play at divided by 4. That will really show you what you need to work on.

Should I take the pickup cover off my Rick? It looks pretty sweet but there is a significant portion of the strings where I can't pluck/pick because of it.

Can i become a good guitarist starting at 28 yo and if i also have a daytime job?

>>73887944
yea just release an album and hang yourself

>>73887935
its also responsible for a significant portion of its current tone

>>73887935
No, it traps the tone in and condenses it in.

>>73887935
Just do it
If you don't like it you can put it back on

Anyone's thoughts on using a pick for bass? I mainly do finger and I play in Jazz band but I've actually become to enjoy playing with a pick. I also really love the straightforward tone from a pick but the mere mention of a bass player using a pick in my high school band my band directors go bat shit. None of them really play guitar but their consensus is that bass players shouldn't use a pick.

when people say an interval plus 7 and you have to count to figure which note it is

>>73888338
depends on the song and the tone youre aiming for
fuck these directors

https://youtu.be/5wlqyMloPbc

>>73888338
It's all about context obviously. The context of a jazz band, probably not the best. The music is more suited to a mellow attack in the low end

>>73888516
I understand jazz when you're going for a warm tone. I just don't understand whenever we're doing maybe a rock song and I try and use a pick to cut through and add to the intense sound they just tell me to put it away.

>>73888669

Slapping/popping makes you pop into the mix though.
I think the problem of the pick is that often it makes the bass tone too monotone.
It's cool for fast tremolo picking, pick bassists often don't think about doing that and it's kind of a cool tone.

>>73888758
professional just means you're living on it, not that you're insanely good.

>>73889360
Speaking of which, I saw some of the new gibson basses at a local music shop.
they're fucking ugly.

Just got my first guitar (mail order), a Yamaha Pacifica 112V. It looks and feels pretty nice, but it has a terrible fret buzz on the lower E and A strings. Should I change the strings? Adjust the truss rod? Heighten the action on the saddle?
Is this something I would be able to do myself or would I have to take it to a professional?
I mean I am a complete guitar noob but I'm not retarded. Wouldn't pay a guy €70 just to turn some screws.

>>73890005
lets first check if the issue is on the truss rod. press at the 1st and 15th fret on these strings and tell how much of space theres between the string and the top of the frets

>>73890005
You can do it yourself with aid of the internet, most likely.
Just go through a setup run. Make sure everything you mentioned is checked.

I had the same problem with an American standard Strat years ago, and honestly, I made sure everything was correct, had my friend check it (he's a fucking autistic when it comes to measurement, etc) and yeah... I rarely have to even tune my guitar, man. It stays in tune for ages. No issues

>>73890068
>>73890005
I should add, I spent about 4 hours on it though. I made sure it was right, took my time, etc

>>73890053
Barely any space, but none of the frets seem to be touching the string. Seems the neck is pretty much perfectly straight. The manual says there should be a little bit of relief though. Haven't changed the strings from factory yet, might as well do that first since I've read about one guy who had the buzz go away with just changing strings.

>>73890068
Alright cool, I'll do some reading on this then.

>>73890119
yeah there should be some relief. it has most effect on buzzing on the first frets
really old strings add buzz too

For electric I'm sitting on a decade old strat squire passed down to me with strings just as old so I pretty much solely use my acoustic.

I'm willing to drop $400 on a new electric but should I just replace the strings on the old one and pick up a good amp and some pedals instead?

>>73890343
just replace the strings on the old one and pick up a good amp and a zoom g1xon

>>73890386
So it's okay to sit on a squire as an intermediate?

>>73890513
yes absolutely

>>73890513
You can use any guitar as long as it works properly
Stop falling for marketing bullshit

I'm thinking of buying an LP studio but apparently all of them are finished very badly these days

>>73887173
lmao you could build that for $200-$300.

>>73890119

Maybe its too low, changing the strings on a new guitar is always a good idea.
I used to bring my guitar to somebody to get it fixed but now realise that is an outrageous waste of money for a setup and am learning myself, its all pretty easy. Just like fixing a bicycle really.

I just bought a Zoom G3xn ask me anything

it's a pretty solid machine, I never actually had a pedal and I always do everything via Ableton

I wanted to make my product more complex, now I'm using the ZOOM for basic pedals and then the signal goes into a Roland RE-201 and then into a Lexicon alpha and into ableton

and let me tell you something, all those AMPS in the G3xn are fucking on point, the VOX and the Marshall are like the real thing

I was fucking impressed, and for like 170 bucks? shiiiet

>>73891125
wow thats great, i'm inclined to buy the g3xn
does it lack some kind of effect pedal or controls over effects?

>>73891158
No, everything can be customised at will
you can use all the pre-installed patches, and edit them with those knobs (they're over 75, and you can download tons of new others from zoom website)
or
you can create you personal pedal board, I can't tell you if something's missing because I'm not done yet looking into all these sweet presets

I know now I sound like a Zoom dealer, but this thing really surprised me
there's a built in tuner where you can actually mute your guitar so the whole audience won't listen to your fugly sounds

Do some googling, also be sure to check ultimate-guitar.com forums. I think you should do some kind of layered approach. Using carpets everywhere along with foam pads etc.

Also remember soundproofing is a fire hazard as well so take care you don't have anything there which could set a house fire...
