Oh wait, he's from a rich family and made money off his garbage albums during his stretch in jail.

Any opinions appreciated.

My friend bought a 3D grand auditorium Michael Kelly guitar but after a week in a half regretted it. Now he's offering it to me for 540 with case, tuner, and shubb capo. Is it worth or should I just decline? Pic related.

>>74124047
How much did he pay for it and why does he regret it?

>>74124059
He paid 780 on the guitar alone, case was another hundred. The guy plays flamenco but decided he should have a nice acoustic in his collection of spanish guitars. Now he realised how little he likes non spanish jamming.

Has anyone played a Halo guitar? I'm thinking of buying the wide neck model.

>>74124077
>>74124059
$729* actually. I should mention the guitar went on sale on the website
for 499, but still. He's giving me all that extra stuff too.

>>74124047
He bought a piece of shit that sounded like ass and now he's trying to cut his loses by selling it to a retard who doesn't know dick about guitars.

He bought it online because he's a fucking idiot, that's what idiots do, they buy guitars they never laid their hands on or played.

>>74124147
lol this is more like it

>>74124143
Have you heard this thing before? Not trying to sound aggressive, but if I subtract everything else he's giving me with the guitar, the guitar comes around to 380. This guitar has a warm sound to it , and a nice finish.

What kind of guitar is this on the left?

>>74124230
Look, you obviously don't know shit about guitars and you want someone to give you some reassurance you're not making a mistake.

You are though, but that's what noobs do. It's a cheap piece of shit, but what difference does it make? Go buy it if you want, if you're interested you have to start somewhere.

Playing music is a learning process and you're going to spend money on your education one way or another. You don't know a warm sounding guitar from a hole in the ground. Play it for a year or so and then go to a music store and compare it to different guitars.

That'll be day one, remember me if it ever happens.

>>74124331
And how experienced are you? How do I know you're not just some b8er? What mid-tier guitar would you recommend?

I like guitar

>>74124905
This guy gets it

I just wrote a chord on Ultimate Guitar and it got approved. Can you guys take a look at it? I want others to make sure it's right.

>>74124380
I started on an Epiphone SG Jr. in 2000, I'm 17 years in. I wouldn't recommend any acoustic in that price range, they're all going to be garbage. Electrics are a slightly different story depending on what you're interested in. What I said before still stands, if you want it then get it. It doesn't matter in that price range and if you're going to start you have to start somewhere.

The answer to your other question? You don't, that's why it isn't a good idea asking questions here.

Sounds beautiful, the heavy gauge strings are tough on my fingers (used to playing 9s and 10s on electric guitar) but I'll get used to it.

>>74127925
Pull it out, connect a cable to it, see if there's contact between both the skirt and the pin in the middle. If there is and there's no signal still. There's a broken cable somewhere.

It's usually the pin in the middle. You can carefully bend that more over so that the jack has good connection. Long term you'll want a new one

>>74128224
Just slap on 10-47s and be done with it. You don't need thick strings to sound good.

I don't know amps.

But i do know i like tubes, but i can only play at low volumes.

Am i retarded for looking for low watt amps to go through a 12" Greenback?

>>74128375
Nah nigger, almost every respectable guitarrist does that,small and nice tube amps that goes through the mixer

>>74128368
Good point. Guitar strings are cheap anyway, might as well try it I guess. Why the elixirs? I thought the coating was kind of a gimmick and dampened the sound a bit? Besides that I'd just get standard daddarions, any other ideas?

>>74128409
>Why the elixirs?
They last longer, less finger noise and the loss in tone is miniscule. I use 80/20 bronze for the added brightness.

>>74128409
>>74128368
>>74128426
i think i heard somewhere that the coating flakes and cause buzz?

>>74128434
Never been an issue. If you use your pick very hard, you'll shred the coating on that end, but it will never cause buzzing. It's a thin coat of the same plastic used in making Gore-tex. It doesn't flake.

>tfw finally got into music theory and beginning to understand why songs work the way they do
shit's mad fun. No idea why some people treat it like it's a chore.

>>74128475
what do you need to understand it? chord progressions? and you can learn to understand songs structures if you listen enough you start to notice patterns without being able to word it

am i supposed to count the beat while practicing to a metronome that doesnt count the beats it just marks time? restart on the 1 if i commit a mistake etc. or not care about the beats

...oh no, i know i'm supposed to, cause i'll have to know it while playing with a band so i dont get lost when the rhythm section gets less static. im just looking for an approval for my laziness. i have to learn to count but its so hard for my dead brain

>>74128475
i dont feel fun anymore so maybe thats why

>>74127676
That's not a bass and the shape is wrong.

>>74128754
Looks like an Eko. They're not anything to salivate over.

what are the thickest gauge of acoustic strings commonly avaiable?

bb king said he started with 17s and thats how he got his fingers strong so i want to get as close to that gauge

do i need to be really good techically and do these exercises and know these stuff that you learn taking classes with big pros, if i want to go professional about guitar

It was bait, you fucking retards.

Greenbacks are known for their breakup when being pushed, that's why guitarists use them. No, a low wattage amp isn't going to push a greenback into speaker distortion. No it doesn't make any sense to buy a greenback for a low wattage amp.

You're all a bunch of Goddamn idiots, I just provided proof.

nttp, but you really don't. Beginners typically think their fretting issues come from weak fingers, when really it's a matter of developing callouses, dexterity and coordination. Economy of motion is a more important point of focus (that is, less effort with more results).

You're probably pressing down too hard right now, but just in an unproductive way. I usually don't put any more pressure on a string than the pressure I'm using right now to type.

>>74130867
i dont have fretting issues, i want super strong fingers for bending

>>74131127
That's also mostly a matter of good technique, economy of motion, and a proper setup. And bending typically involves using your whole hand's strength, not just your fingers.

I think you'll have better results if you focus on improving your overall bending technique that convincing yourself it's an issue with your finger strength. That's based on my experience, at least.

>>74131249
ok the whole hand. i want to strenghten all the body parts involved with bending, not just my fingers, by practicing bending on tougher strings. i did it on a nylon acoustic and it already improved. maybe i still can get more resistance without buying different strings by bending on the first frets, cause i still havent mastered bending those. i think i already have good bending technique, dont care if it sounds entitled.

Trips are cancer. Stop bringing them up every fucking thread. Ego-stroking circle jerkers wondering if anybody remembers the time they namefagged so many fucking threads ago. Pathetic.

I have both of those things already. I probably described what I'm talking about poorly so I made a picture to better explain.
Basically I'm just looking for the "magic box" thing. I don't know what it's called, I don't know what I should be looking for in such a product. I just want to have the variable tones and sounds of an electric guitar, just without external amplification - plug in headphones, fiddle with knobs and dials and effects and settings, and not bother anyone while I do it.
>>74133215
>>74132894
I'm going to look into those things, thanks.

Also fwiw, I play primarily classical guitar, so I know the instrument well, just not the electrified/amplified version. I got a bit of money now, so figured this would be a decent way to start exploring it.

Don't mind me just posting a picture of this "Hick" amp

>>74134351
did you mean sick amp

>>74134132
Looks good, might pick one up- thanks!

>>74134524
i think it might come with a mic aswell, so you could record classical guitar with it.

Looking for feedback on my song. Its prog/melodic kinda like opeth. I'm pretty new to songwriting and production

https://clyp.it/aiyph44p

>>74134481
I'm pretty sure it reads Hick. I cant be the only one who sees that, right?

I wrote a bluesy riff using the a minor scale. What kind of chords should I use to make a song out of it?

Hello /gg/

I want to start learning bass but I have no idea what bass to buy as a starter. I have played around with the bass on an off for a couple months but I don't have access to one at home and the closest one I have is at my dads place in another city. Anyone got some suggestions on what I should buy?

Looking for info on the Bass, Amp and anything else which is important.

Any tips for memorizing the fretboard? Ive been dicking around too long

>>74135341
cant help ya, i figured it by dicking around

>>74135207

Just get something that resembles a bass you think looks cool, because when youre getting really good youre going to be upgrading anyway :)

Squier is a sure-thing quality wise

when did you realise playing guitar is a reddit hobby?

>>74136131
>i gave up
don't now why you didn't just say this

>>74136085

Well if you get one of those starter kits you will get a crappy one which is okay for the first months,

I dont know alot about bass amps but im sure another anon will come in and throw some suggestions

I think its best if you just go at it with full force, then in a few months you will know 'i like when it sounds like this' and you can go collect gear that fits you as a player

>>74136108
dunno but that cargo short surely is

>>74136108

Yeah youre definetley good enough to join a band, but idk, there are guys that play like Yngwie that can't even get a youtube channel going with their skill so

>>74136108
why the big amp is off and that little unknown amp is on

>>74136157
the guitar and rock music belong in the bin

>>74136182
hmm looks like better sell gear then

>>74136242

Hey by all means do your thing, but 'profitable' as in money to live off of, i wouldnt count on it

>>74136319
ah maybe not to profit enough to live off of it exclusively. i live off my parents n siblings anyway
but still profitable professionaly, what do u think
only playing in bands and getting little club money?

If you live in a big city play on the street outside of the bars and drunk people will give you money, its pretty fun and drunk people think everything is impressive, so anything you do on a guitar will blow their mind. I've had people put money in my bucket while I was just warming up by running through scales

Been on a big Blackmore and Malmsteen the past couple of weeks, so any recommendations on similar guitarists, beyond the obvious ones (early Paul Gilbert, Vinnie Moore, Tony MacAlpine, Chris Impellitteri etc. etc.)? I've been liking Walter Giardino and Joe Stump a lot.

Rate my training routine:

-Warmup blues jam
-Alternate picking speed practice
-Chord figures
-Modes jaming
-Learning new song
-Practicing funky rythm
-Jaming chords over random backing track

What's the "right" way to clean your guitar? Some say use lighter fluid on the fretboard, others say that'll destroy the wood. Some say use lemon oil, water, steel wool, etc.

>mu

>>74138228
don't use none of that agresive weird shit, a very lightly moist rag or cleaners that are made for wood

Yngwie copped a lot of licks from Uli Jon Roth, even though he really only credits Blackmore. I can't remember the song but Beyond Astral Skies had the best "pedal" lick ever.

>>74138228
>use lighter fluid on the fretboard
You are a fucking moron if you do this.

>>74138477
Jimi Hendrix did it

>>74138477
Only if you forget to light it. You don't want it to stay on the wood for too long.

>>74138477
Can you give a single source that says it wouldn't work?

>>74138398
Sorry, probably should've put UJR in there as well. Still playing great all these years later.

>even though he really only credits Blackmore
It's funny that he wants to claim Blackmore and Roth never influenced him now. God, what an asshole.

If your """guitar""" says "Squier" on the headstock, you're a fucking LOSER


If your """guitar""" says "Epiphone" on the headstock and wasn't made in Kalamazoo, Michigan before 1968 you're a fucking LOSER


If your """guitar""" says "Fender" on the front of the headstock but says "Made In Mexico" or "Made In Japan" on the back of the headstock you're a fucking LOSER


I don't care if you swapped out the pickups
I don't care if it was your first guitar
I don't care if it sounds "good" (it doesn't)
I don't care if you "like it" (you don't)

I have more respect for the "musicians" posting on Soundcloud threads (check out this rap beat I copied but changed the tempo of using software) than any hipster faggot playing a god damned toy and pretending to be a guitarist. Why would anybody take you seriously when you're such a cheap and selfish LOSER that you can't even save up more than 300 dollars to buy a real (made in the United States of America) guitar?

Anyway, when you bought your Condor did you have a choice about the vintage sunburst finish or was that the only choice?

We get Ace and no Froosh. This is why the general is such garbage now.

Ah, so you choose that color. Was it because Ace had one that was similar looking? I was looking through the pics I pulled from /gg/ these last few weeks and I noticed you posted a pic of Ace with a similar looking Les Paul.

>>74140391
ahah exactly, i tried to match it to ace's 1973 tobacco burst

>>74140406
If you were going to get a new Les Paul would you choose the same finish again or go with a different color? I think you were posting blue Les Pauls a while back?

idk i think now i would just see if it looks good, not stay fixated on tobacco finish. though i still like similar plain top colours, and been diggin blue les pauls

so it would be either a plain top of some colour or a blue one

You'd prefer a plain top to a flamed top then? The reason ask is because whenever I think of Ace I think of a heritage cherry sunburst Les Paul. Do you automatically go to the tobacco sunburst Les Paul when you imagine him playing during Kiss concerts?

Clean with something slightly acidic to loosen grime.
Lemon oil is for rosewood/ebony after it's cleaned. Thin coat, let shit soak in for 5 minutes, then wipe everything down like a motherfucker. There are better oils out there that aren't leftovers from the petroleum industry.
Steel wool is for polishing frets. Autosol is far better with nothing sticking to your pickups and getting everywhere.
