Usually regular Ernie Ball 10s, however I bought pic related a few weeks ago to see if they are really more durable than the normal strings.

>>73945712
I used Ernie Ball 10s for years until the D'Addario NYXLs came out. Was thinking of checking out the Paradigms.

These are surprisingly good and strong. Have this set on a heavily used floyd guitar.

I quite like the NYXLs. Theyre just kind of expensive so I'm swapping to some cheaper strings.

>>73946073
I havent bought a pack of strings in like 6 months m8. Well worth it to me.

how to write lyrics?

I just got a mandolin. There's such a lack of learning resources for this stupid instrument.

DR 11's on electric
D'Addario Phosphor Bronze 12's on acoustic

>>73946404
First write poetry and learn devices of the language. Or just write what you feel and call it avante garde

>>73946413
No you just suck. I used to love playing mandolin. Lotsa bluegrass players. look into that.

>>73946413
you already know theory from playing guitar. what do you want? fucking play it, figure its chords, learn songs and watch videos of people playing mandolins to see if theres any special technique for the instrument
fuck off

>>73945550
Just switched to D'Addario 10's last week. They haven't fully turned black yet so they're better than Ernies in that respect

>>73946535
Dude ernie balls suck in every way possible. I dont even know why people use them

>>73946577
They're cheap. I know elixirs cost 2x as much here

>>73946577
>why people use them
affordable and they have great branding

>>73946478
How the fuck are you gonna write poetry and then make it work into a riff?

I've always just been playing random shit until it works and now I'm trying to start singing and I can play and sing lalalala and hit the notes but I don't know what to do to add lyrics

>>73946660
Learn to hit notes with your voice on command. Remember the throat is considered an instrument learn to treat it like one. Timing is important and phrasing.

Rev. Willy's Mexican Lottery Brand Electric Guitar Strings

>>73946404
Get into the shower and brain storm get out then write down the lyrics

>>73946702
Bb king used twine to tie hay when he started out.

>>73946693
I can hit a note as long as I'm playing it on the fretboard, I can also visualize me playing a scale in my mind's eye and then hit the notes with my voice

What I'm asking about is writing lyrics

>>73946752
Lyrics arent as important as delivery sadly. And what music are you going for? If its sincere and thought out someone will appreciate it. Give me an example. Let me help.

>>73946752
ive been trying actively to do that but im still imprecise at it, tfw half ass ear
did you practice scales a lot?

>>73946780
I don't really know what music I'm going for, I've been playing for 3 years mostly practicing technique and I want something to show for it other than being able to play tremolo picking at 210bpm

>>73946792
No idea, I just tried singing and playing at the same time one day and that's how I could do it

I've barely been singing because any lyrics I can come up with make me cringe and wanna stop immediately

>>73946881
I see. What helps me is when im not playing guitar im listening to music and trying to copy the notes. That helos with coming up with phrasing.

Just write stuff dude
A million thoughts in my mind
But my hands are dead there is no sign

Threadly reminder that Crazyaga has a superhigh IQ so we should all fag out for him

>>73947109
You could write random stuff but its not gonna fit with the rhythm, I found that if I'm singing and playing its really hard to do it with different rhythms and not lose timing so I would have to orient my vocal riff over the instrumental one and fit the lyrics on top of that

Are you singing along to the music when you are listening?
I don't really listen to music with vocals nowadays maybe that's a problem?

>>73947200
I agree its not wholly about content but delivery. Are you even reading right? And yes im singing along. Start off with an album that has vocals that you know like the back of your palm. For me it was The wall. I learned to sing it after i learned to play it. Now i can do both. Thats a very basic album. And yeah you need to listen to vocal centric music. Even music you detest. It really will make you better and give you a firmer grasp of musical relationships. Make sure youre on key and practice arpeggios. Like the aristocats.

there are no keyboard generals. what's a good one for about 500 bucks? all I have is a shitty 80 dollar yamaha which touch sensivity keys have stopped working

>>73947267
Fuck off

>>73947267
Go to Guitar Center. they will hook you up.

>>73947331
wow rude

>>73947265
holy fuck how am i supposed to do that i can barely do arpeggios on the guitar, let alone sing them by ear holy fuck

>>73947331
i'm not going to start an entirely new thread just to ask advice on a keyboard

https://clyp.it/wc5ovaie
is the bass clear
are the drums good or i better route them and process them individually

>>73947265
Thanks for the advice, is there any other albums you can suggest for me to listen to?

The last albums with vocals I enjoyed were unironically by yngwie

>>73947393
Kek. Start off with triads. Heck even start with arpeggiating power chords and try to sing them note by note

>>73947488

>>73947488
Umm listen to pop i would say. Keep in mind these are plastic people made into an image BUT the guy behind the scenes writing or buying music knows what the fuck he is doing. They have catchy phrases and memorable singing to a science. Playing guitar actuallt got me to respect some pop as a genre. And my guilty pleasure is playing and singing. Carly Rae Jepsens Call Me Maybe. Use your vocals to play and intertwine with the instruments.

I don't know shit about strings

>>73946404
Make general observations about poetic rhyme schemes. The same principles of consonance and dissonance, call and response, question and answer, tension and release, et al apply to lyrics.

If you just say, "There once was a man from Nantucket," you are creating tension (which is good because it creates interest) but the listener is going to be pissed if you just leave it hanging in the air like that without a payoff.

It's just like if you played a lick over a C Major chord and landed strongly on F without answering that phrase with a strong resolution.

>>73949747

>>73949747
>pentium 4
>current year
lolololo

>>73949812
No. The new Pentium IV that has hyper-threading can run at up to 3 GHz and lets you do more tasks in parallel.
I'd also suggest an AMD Athlon.

>>73949830
Don't listen toLook at this fagg.
He doesn't know the new Pentium iV remastered just came out.
The performance is on par to a core i7 extreme with a 80486 OverDrive

>>73949281
Any opinions here?

>>73949925
pentium 4 has hyper threading since literally 10 years ago or even more

>>73950099
Yeah, sure, the Itaniums and Xeons had them, but you had to spend 1000s back in the day to get a hold of one of those.
The new pentium IV has a nice, friendly pricetag and bring hyperthreading to desktops.
Beter than an i7 extreme, without busting the bank.

how the fuck do you transcribe distorted chords? they all just sound like noise

I use D'Addario 11-50 Flatwound and my JM issues ended

>>73950410
You turn the chug setting in your EQ.
That makes them much clearer.

>>73950425
Too bad you won't be able to get a jangly sound out of them anymore, kind of defeats the point of having a jazzmaster desu. For me flatwounds are only good on guitar if you want to play jazz.

>>73950447

That's true, but I got sold by the "warm/mellow tone" label, which is what I was looking for. I've gotta try the round wounds tho

>>73945808
>>73945829
picked some up the other day for my bass, sound nice. grabbed the wrong size length so i'm waiting until my local shop stocks up to buy Peavey Cirrus 5's

>>73950410
Usually they'll be simple dyads: Major or minor thirds, fourths, fifths (power chord), and the tritone are the most common in blues, rock, and metal.

Inverted major thirds are pretty common too. I call them the Van Halen chord. Play a power chord at the A string 7th fret, then play the 6th fret of the A string and the 9th fret of the D string:

x79xxx

x69xxx

It gives you the sound a power chord played on the 7th fret low E string, but it has a different flavor because of the major third interval, and since that third is in the bass, it voice leads nicely from the previous chord.

>>73951136
That said, two fairly common chords that have more than two or three notes in them that get played with distortion are the Hendrix Chord (7#9) and the sus2 (Think the rhythm parts in "Backwater" by Meat Puppets: https://youtu.be/ZGbva-0zmb8)

do you ever wonder how different guitar music would be if the structure of our hand was different

Trying to work out anything even remotely fast by ear makes me want to shoot myself.

>>73953157
if the structure of our hand was different the human history would be different and probably "guitar" wouldnt exist

So if I work these piano voicings out note for note on guitar instead of doing the BS guitar versions of the chords, I'll sound like Allan Holdsworth?

Plain old D'Addario XL nickelwounds have been my go to for many years.

I recently tried the EB slinkies as I use EB strings on bass and love them, but I don't love them on guitar,

They feel harsher, go dead quicker, and their tension is noticeably different to the DDs.

I think coated strings and the like are a fuckin scam. Just wipe your strings down after you play and they will last longer.

Also the new tech strings like cobalt and paradigm etc coming out, my only question is how fast do they wear fretwire? Nobody ever discusses it and it's a pretty important part of the equation

Elixir Nanoweb Light

Can't live without coated strings (my hands get super sweaty) and elixirs last a long time. Uncoated strings last like a week, tops.

>>73945829
The NYXL's imho are the best strings D'Addario has developed so far, at least for bass anyways. They have the brightness of steels but the comfortable feeling and warmness of nickel strings. The only other strings I'd say come close are both the DR Pure Blues and the Nickel Lo-Riders.

Everyone uses music theory when they make music. You just choose to be ignorant about what's happening when you make your garbage music.

And if they used music theory, it was only a supplement to an original idea they already had in their mind.

Record yourself because what you're hearing isn't what you sound like. Could sound worse, could sound better. But record yourself and tweak.

Which of these pedals should I fit into my budget?

>MXR Dyna Comp Compressor
>Small Stone Phaser
>Boss DD-3 Digital Delay
>Holy Grail Reverb Nano
>DOD FX25

I don't have any pedals that already handle these effects either

>>73957699
Telling us your budget, would really help.

>>73957719
I mostly wanted feedback on whether or not any of them are actually worth getting. I've got $200 to blow

>>73957757
What kind of music do you play anon? From your list, I would get the Boss DD-3. You can get them REALLY cheap used. You can also get the holy grail reverb, along with the dyna comp, or the small stone if you fancy it. All used ofc, but yes, they are all pretty decent pedals. If you get lucky you might even buy all 5 with 200 bucks lol.

Don't forget to practice today

>>73957806

I have a shitty 30 dollar one that was thrown in when I bought my guitar and need a new one. Price range is about 100-200

>>73962074
Probably some shitty solid state modeling amp. Line 6 or peavey.

Im curious about 08-38 on a 25.5"

Mostly to see how it affects my playing.

>>73963096
its ok
i took off the string trees so its kinda slinky and smooth (compared to a normal strat at least)
i wanted to get it 4mm but the intonation doesnt go further

>>73963180
get a .08 on a 24.5" and we'll talk

I did a loop thing on bass: https://clyp.it/5twkuxvb

Also, I'm currently using an electro harmonix 360 nano looper. It's doing the job so far, but should I think about a different/better looping station? These things are literally the most fun I'm having on bass, what features should I look for? Pretty sure the big BOSS loop station can save and play back several loops at the same time, or something along those lines.

can someone please help me figure out what the guitar chords are in this song? (warning: meme music ahead)

It's a funk style chord and I can't get it. I did however learn the bassline.

So how does one go about improving their technique with the walking strum? A lot of songs need the faster plucking and I'd rather not use a pick, but half the time I just don't produce a note with my fingers. Is there a de facto form for the walking strum?

>>73964229
its isnt worn, the neck was relic'd by the retarded previous owner. he even didnt relic the marked frets

the body though was re-painted and reliced by the retarded current owner

>>73965315
Why the fuck would anyone be jealous of a BR LP?

>>73965326
because it sounded and played better than his gibson studio. and its lighter on the weight. we played both to compare.
but the truth is. he liked its sound mostly because of the bright sparkle on the neck pickup. and that is just because mine has a uncovered 59 pickup, and the gibson studio comes with covered 498T pickups which are overwound. it might also come with 300k pots who knows. to me the gibson studio had a bigger sound with more bass. with the same pickups it would sound much more consistent and solid. i prefer mine's looks though

>>73965234
Yeah but im sure the quality could be better. And your guitar teacher sounds like a poorfag too.

>>73965414
That's crazy. He should just get a real LP.

This is the first guitar I bought with my money. It's a 1978 Ibanez Les Paul Deluxe. It sounds great and plays great compared to the Squire strat I played before. :DD

I have to get another amp, think I'm gonna get a 15w Orange tube combo amp for $800 until I get a 50w head and cabinet.

>>73964495
Anon, just take a break for a bit.
If you play for hours and hours on end you are going to burn out or cause yourself some unecessary pain.

You want callouses after all. Not blisters.
The worse thing to do is to stress yourself too much.

I had some fun earlier just playing and singing this old man over and over to my nephew and making up the lyrics as I went on. Getting sillier and sillier.

Keep it simple and fun at first anon.Don't dive into the deep end before you can even simply float. You'll panic and drown.

>>73965538
the studio is a real lp. it only lacks a maple top and burstbuckers.

>>73965449

I am shit at it, i am using bias, don't feel like dropping money on something i will sound shit with either way.

this is what i am going for, the slow doomy stuff.

sweet guitar, how much did you get it for

>>73965736
Save yiur money and buy the amp you want

>>73965280
There you go: https://public-peace.de/index.php/mensinger-guitars/m-basses/men-speesy

Great basses, they're a European company though so import to Burgerland might be tricky.

>>73965736

how much of a change theres in sound between these two amps

>>73965843
As much as I love Rickenbackers pretty much every bass player has one/uses one. They are like the Strat of bass unfortunately.

>>73965953
Damn those actually look pretty nice (albeit still hueg as fuck). The checkerboard one in particular makes me rock hard.

Definitely gonna keep my eye on them. Any videos/reviews from someone who has played one out there?

>>73964289
I can't even find a reference to the walking strum on Google.

Only found one mention of the Bear Claw technique, as well. My Blues teacher taught me this, back in the day, but I only have a faint memory of what it sounds like.

>>73964316
That's a beauty! I had a white lawsuit Cort once but nowhere near Gibbo quality.

>>73964495
Hahahaha! See:

Yeah, this is Poorfa/gg/ Syndrome™. No shame in being poor or trying to save a buck here and there but when you think that a Les Paul owner wants your clone, you have crossed the line.

>>73965863

I probably overpaid a little, but I paid $400 for it with the case. It was well cared for too.

>>73965929

Yeah for sure. Also I just think a nice Orange tube head/cab and some pedals would be so much fun to have. 50w is totally enough to perform with so I won't need more either.

Pic related is the bassist with the bass, wouldn't call that fuck huge although I don't know how tall he is.

I own a bass made by these guys and it's top notch, better than any MIA standard fender I ever tried. In regards to the controls (just a volume knob on the signature one), the pickup, the finish and the inlays, that's pretty much all customizable if you have one built. Maybe a bit more than the ones they have in stock, but shouldn't be an issue. You can look up mensinger guitars and basses or maruszczyk basses (made by the same guys) for sound samples and reviews. They have tons of demos on their YouTube channel, public peace, as well.

>>73966201
It's the strum techniques that literally looks like a little finger-man walking on the strings

>>73966239
a 15w tube amp is more than enough volume to gig with, really

>>73954199
Third Boss is Harmonist PS-6. Probably.

>>73966406

Would a 15w tube amp sound better at higher volume than a 50w one at low volume? I feel like it may sound kind of empty is all.

>>73966446
i guess it will because the 50w one wont be getting powertube saturation

>>73966918

Okay, I figured. It's a concern now because the practice amp I've had forever has this terrible rattling sound as of yesterday. I think until I have the money for an actual good amp I'm gonna get a $30 Bluetooth adapter to use my phone as a practice amp.

So ive been getting more serious about my bass playing but now my left wrist is hurting. I'm using a p bass and im thinking i should try a short scale bass. my technique is right but i can't fret the e string without bending my wrist a lot. do you think this would help or what? i also might have small hands lol

>>73954401
>>73966413
Great job, guys. Just need that black pedal left of the Meatbox.

>>73967425
Have the strap short so the bass hangs nice and high and angle the bass almost 45°. Maintain a straight wrist at all times, seems more like a technique issue.

>>73967518
thanks. ill try that.

Kiss Alive! is the second best album in history and Ace Frehley is the best guitarist ever

>>73967425
>i can't fret the e string without bending my wrist a lot
roflmao do exercises to get used with fretting the low string

>>73967560
Also in the low position have your thumb almost in line with the neck instead of 90° to the neck , that should also help.

>>73967614
dont tell him how to position his hand just tell him to do exercises and figure it by himself

>>73966268
That bass looks incredible

sup goys please let me know which version you prefer

https://clyp.it/jtjnitxq
https://clyp.it/lx1zp3sj

>>73967614
thanks. any suggestions on fretting octaves from the e string? a song i like playing has a few of them and thats where most of the strain and the harshest bending of the wrist comes in.

>>73967594

maybe? my hand is about 7" from wrist to the end of my middle finger. also my technique is correct based off of this video. maybe my action is high as well.

https://youtu.be/IeRoQuXlj9w

>>73967808
try using the pinky instead of the ring
though you should get able to do octaves with the ring too

>>73968300
just a tiny bit smaller. really shouldnt make you unable to play the usual way
having an easier action will help you play as you build hand strenght

>>73965861
You turn the knobs until you like the sound that you hear.

>>73968347

does anybody else in here use MAX/MSP or ableton live for playing

or am I the only one who likes experimentation with softwares and other media?

>>73966154
p bass are more widespread, for a price/availability reason

>>73970015
I used to but got tired of carrying a laptop around and not being able to plug in directly into a guitar amp without sounding like shit. Had my laptop freeze up on me during a live show and then said fuck it. Now I do most of what I used to with a couple of granular delays/glitch pedals plus loops/reverbs. Feels much more comfy.

Daily reminder that Crazyaga has a superhigh IQ so we should all fag out for him and take his jew micropeen up our asses

>>73968133
I got my jcm900 for 600( was a good deal) so i would say 700-800

is it a good idea to sand the guitar's body with a 600 paper to make it less dark looking. like its common on necks

When you are trying to put songs together, do you have a riffs first, or do you make riffs over drum tracks you already have?

Also, I have this song I really dig, but I made it over a ripped youtube drum track (the description says you have to buy it). Should I remake the song with Addicting drums, or just throw it in the demo tape
