/gg/ - Guitar and Bass General

Bass below the 5th is fucking hard, from here >>>74165162

any tips?

>>74165973
loosen that kung fu grip. your thumb should just be resting, no need to choke out the neck.
your thumb pivots your hand to flow over to I III & V.
this will involve stretching and practice.

>>74166070
>your thumb pivots your hand to flow over to I III & V.

So, I actually move my hand? Aren't I supposed to keep the fingers on their corresponding frets at all times?

>>74165872
Hey guys, do you believe in tonewood?

Why am I so lazy

>>74166092
>>74166070
By the way, if I don't 'choke the neck', there's always buzz, specially on those frets.

is what i mean. for 1 finger 1 fret you may need to reach with your pinky and this pivot will help you get to the fret. over 5 frets your thumb should stay in the same spot while your hand moves.

>>74166158
Adam Neeley (professional bassist) actually recommends the opposite: keep fingers diagonal to fretboard and straighten the wrist.

Who the fuck am I gonna believe.

see what works for you, good luck.

>>74166129
theres buzz becaue you dont press the strings enoff
you shouldnt press the strings by pressing your thumb against the neck you should be able to fret even without the thumb, the thumb isnt to make any strenght

>>74166106
No motivation/inspiration.

tfw ring finger joint doesn't bend enough for high e string to ring out in A Shape barre chord

>>74166291
Honestly, the first five frets are kinda iffy on a bass. I don't notice any speed/fretting difference when switching from to thumb towards headstock to thumb towards first string. The first method however is much more comfortable. But again that might depend on how big are your hands, and whether you're playing 4/5/6 string.

>>74167085
Seeing this actually made me go practice. Thanks anon, I'll try to remember this everytime I don't want to do anything.

>>74167667
Well, when I point the thumb to the headstock, it's more comfortable but harder to stretch the hand. If I angle the wrist and point the thumb upwards, I can stretch the hand more but it really tenses up my arm and hand.

>>74167312
>complains about great service
The last fucking thing I wanna do is wait a week for my guitar.

https://youtu.be/Gxr2zINiH3c?t=5m13s

how is he doing the D shape chord in this?

example: the first C he does he seems to be adding a note with his third finger?
but that would throw my understanding of theory out the window if he was adding that note
or is he simply muting the string?

>>74167669
Reading this made me feel fuzzy. Youre welcome anon. Cheers m8 you will get better if you practice.

>>74167312
you fucking faggot

>>74168202
he says d minor
its the part of g2 d3 a5 (stringfret)

>>74167594
That kind of flexibility improves over time if you work on it. Like those guys who do yoga so they can suck their own dicks.

>>74170055
i too, find google very difficult to use

>>74170083
Same because I haven't found an answer,
"Bigger means louder, smaller means not as loud" like so what does that mean and will it or will it not suit the type of music I want to learn

is anchoring bad or no

>>74170104
That "rule" isn't even true. If anything, bigger guitars tend to be more bassy and boomy, and smaller ones are brighter and punchier. Big guitars like jumbos/dreadnaughts can still be very dull and comparatively quiet, depending on a lot of factors.

As a beginner, you shouldn't be too concerned with the "perfect" guitar for a certain sound/style, because you haven't developed that preference yet. Go to a store and try out a bunch of shit, pick one that sounds good to you, and more importantly, feels comfortable.

>>74170832
Middle one

http://vocaroo.com/i/s1L5uz3gbI4B

>>74170911
it's not really bad, plenty of good guys do it. i anchored since i started playing and then learned how to play without anchoring. i can go back and forth now. the only difference is i feel more 'loose' when i play without anchoring, kind of hard to describe. i'd say it's worth learning how to play without anchoring though, just by focusing on picking i improved a lot.

>buy cheap strat clone
>fret edges are all sharper than my knives
>closest guitar repair shop is 2 hrs away
>already fucked up my Rogue acoustic with a nail file and created even more dead frets
JUST

>>74171304
so buy the proper files..

>>74170911
I wouldn't call it flat-out bad, but I don't think it helps any. And I noticed that with my acoustic, if I anchor, there's a big change in tone that sounds really thuddy and the overall tone gets duller. Never noticed that issue on electric though.

any tips/videos for fast arpeggios/"sweeps" on bass ?
especially for the right hand when ascending, the only technique I've found is to use the index's nail as some sort of pick and glide across the strings but it's kinda hard to switch between that and regular bass plucking

>>74171339
>if I anchor, there's a big change in tone that sounds really thuddy and the overall tone gets duller.
that's because you're preventing the top of the acoustic from vibrating

Hey guys Im wondering if this setup would work
Guitar -> usb interface input -> laptop
Then
Usb interface output -> rca(red white) to 1/4 inch adapter -> amp
If i do this would i be able to send my signal from fl studio out my amp? I also need the adapter as my interface only has one 1/4 inch input and the rest is rca. Id like to do this to use all the pedals in fl instead of dropping all my very limited money on analoh. Is there anything blatantly wrong or anything i need to know?

Finally got my custom Mauler Dually 2x15's last night! Loaded them up with Eminence Delta-15A's I got from a friend of mine who could get them at cost, which helped keep cost down. Paired with the Super Bassman these cabs howl!

>>74172320
lol idk. Make sure the output of the interface isn't too high. There might be a lot of lag too.

Try it and let us know if you blow your amp.

>>74170832
The Fender, if you can stand the color. I don't know why he's calling it a Squire. It's a good Jap guitar.

>>74172527
A guy told me it should be fine as long as do proper gain staging and leveling. I can control the output of my interface easily. Why would i blow my amp? Volume?

>>74172568
You should be fine to be honest, I was just joking. As long as you have everything set up right at least. Keep the volume super low and work your way up once it's all set up.

>>74172566
I was not a fan of the contemporary strat from late 80s early 90s. The locking nut ate strings like a motherfucker and the trem was not good at all.

>>74172291 try it out at first slow with a metronome then work yourself up from there. There's no cutting Corners with the proper sweep/arpeggio

>>74172909
The reason I decided against recommending this one was that tremolo Floyd Rose copies are Infamous for being utter failures

>>74172709
Oh okay thanks. One more thing. Why dont more people do this? Does digital sound worse? I have pirated fl producers ed. so i have like 50 pedals, all the vsts, etc

>>74173002
My brother had one of them, not sure which trem was on it, think it was a Kahler. They sold it as if it was a floyd rose style trem, but it doesn't have a recession for it.

Found a picture of another one and it was indeed the Kahler trash trem.

what are some fun songs to play that are 2010+

>>74172954
Problem is, I can't find and don't know what the proper right hand technique is.

>>74173203
slant the pick and sweep it

>>74173203
Dont anchor. Get used to keeping your hand floating

>>74170832
>>74172909
>>74173002
In this case, there's no locking nut. It will act like a regular trem. I never had problems with my '85 and I used to work it with stupid shit like scoops, warbles and dive bombs.

>>74173085
>that volume knob placement right next to the strings

strats are such repulsive hackery. the only useful reason to put it that close is volume swells and most people with half a brain will just use a volume pedal for that

how long you been neeting

>>74173050
Kahlers arent the worst but a weird issue they had was they would keep in tune if you lowered the pitch but if you lifted the bar and went back to normal it would get slightly out of tune. But it was easily fixed by lowering pitch and going back to normal. This is why almost every slayer solo with whammy work usually ends on a dive. Kerry king is readjusting and getting it back in tune.

>>74173698
Well, the one my brother had ate strings and wouldn't stay in tune if you barely touched it.

Is there any like strenght training in speed excersises? like, is my muscle physically changing to be able to move faster? or is it all just in the mind ?

like, is speed training similar to strenght training at the gym?

>>74177209
its dexterity
but you need strenght to play and play fast
try doing your exercises with only pullofs and hammerons. and holding a thrill for like 3 minutes. it improved it for me

If i can already play something at a certain speed but not for long, should i keep playing it at that speed and keep increasing the time? or should i also play it slow?

>>74177235
>and holding a thrill for like 3 minutes

>>74177599
what you think will increase your speed then
what makes you increase picking speed is practicing different patterns to get your picking fluid and then speeding stuff up so you achieve speed. no secret there

>>74180842
Well I live in a tiny NYC apartment so the idea of a micro head appeals to me. I have a shelf that can fit the Peavey speaker. I like the clean tone of a Katana, though.

I'm moving in less than a year so i might not have that shelf anymore though...

>>74180816
If the pirahna sounds anything like the 6505mh I would go with the katana, didn't sound to great to me personally. I have heard good things about the katana though

1st year fag here
I want to start practice more and more seriously to be able to play what I like, my biggest weakness is how fluent I play, alongside my fingers aren't as strong as I believe they should be, my Hammer ons and pull offs are sloppy

Does anyone know if there's a place where I can find more excersises like the spider? Something to make my fingers stronger?

I want to be really good at the following genres:

-Psychedelic Rock
-Blues
-Classic Heavy Metal
-Stoner rock
-Doom metal

Is it too contradictory? im not very good with speed, but im afraid that if i get fast ill lose my sense of chill slow rythm

Are Danelectro guitars good or are they a meme? I was looking into getting one of their 12 strings because they're so cheap.

Is 29 years old, enough to become a good?, i mean i not a total newb but i know very little, if i started practicing, say, 2 hours per day, could i become a proficient guitar player in a year?

>>74181174
Classic heavy metal is not that shreddy so you won't go too far into the guitar wanking that takes place

>>74181234
Age is a a myth
When I was back in highschool I took a free course the school offered, open for anyone, even people outside the school, it didn't teach me much more than I knew, but my other classmates where men in their 40's and 50's
So yeah, there's that.

>>74181257
well , its not that shreddy but like, to play shit like judas priest or led zeppeling you have to know your shit. also id like to know a bit of thrahs metal, but that kind of palm muting takes a lot of practice, right?

>>74181275
but like, can you get really good if you dont start from really young

>>74181314
If you want to do it the classic way (downstrokes only) it's a bit tricky
if you want everyone to yell at you for playing it "wrong" just alternate.

>>74181356
>If you want to do it the classic way (downstrokes only) it's a bit tricky
i saw a video of the metallica guy playing master of puppets, now that hes old he does it alternate.

but anyway, is it a titanic task to get all those skills more or less under control these ones:>>74181174

or am i spreading myself too much

>>74181356
alternate doesnt give the desired tension/punch you know that

>>74181334
We all have heard from the guy that started playing since he was a fetus and played something by Joe Satriani at age 5.
With enough practice and dedication you can be on the same level regardless of age.
I do believe it's easier for younger players, because their muscles are still developing, but that's a myth

>>74181314
Well i also like thos genres and from my experience being fast is more difficult but i find grooving slowly more fun, but you can do both, just saying being fast is harder

>>74181391
>just saying being fast is harder
do i really have to do repetitive speed excersises for hours at a time or is there other way?

>>74181160
do the spider exercise with only pullofs/hammerons

>>74181380
not if you actually practice

>>74181380
Focus on one thing at the time, and focus on that one, once you got it down move on to the next.
You can play a variety of genres, styles, techniques, but take it slowly, too much too quickly gives no results.

>>74181417
>Spider excersise with only Hammer ons and pull offs
How would that go? hammer the 6th and 8th fret, then pull off back to the 5th and 7th?

>>74181444
hammer going up, pullof going down no secret

h1-h2-h3-h4-------------------------------p3-p2-p1-
-----------------h1-h2-h3-h4-p3-p2-p1--------------
repeat one fret up

or another pattern you may come up with

>>74181412
There is no fun way to build up speed and technique unless you are into repetitive actions

>>74181424
>too much too quickly gives no results.
i have practiced A LOT like this

also, im doing classes with a teacher and since im interested in improv for psych rock and trippy music he suggested i learn theory and jazz, so far i feel like i learned a lot but a lot of the stuff i have learned i find no way of applying it and the volume of information just keeps on piling up.

For example now im learning the chords of the lydian mode to play over a major key. I've studied them all, struggle to keep them in my memory but when i try to use them in a song i struggle to do anything else than mechanically repeating it and none of my ideas sound even vaguely musical.

Does learning jazz really pay off to do cool improv or can you get the same result just from learning licks?

>>74181523
i find it "fun" to feel the progress and my fingers stretching and gettin strong

>i feel like i learned a lot but a lot of the stuff i have learned i find no way of applying it
>I've studied them all, struggle to keep them in my memory but when i try to use them in a song i struggle to do anything else than mechanically repeating it and none of my ideas sound even vaguely musical.
learn songs so you figure applied, musicalized theory

what stuff i can "paint" on the sanded wood of my neck joint

dead soon

>>74181531
Have you ever heard a chord progression in your head but just can't get it to sound right coming out of your guitar?

Learning jazz will make that never happen again.

bam bam bam satellite of love

>>74182092
right now i think the only chord progression i can identify is a blues one.

>>74182137
try learning to identify intervals themselves

>>74182137
Just keep practicing. Everyone goes through that point when learning theory. Blues is simple as hell, so it's taught first. Naturally it's the first to click musically. Just keep on doing what you're doing.

Practice hard and often my dude. It'll come together in a few years.

>>74182161
Today i spent at least 4 hours hours just running the chords from the lydian mode trough the neck. It fucked up my mind and felt like if i learned nothing

>>74182185
try learning by small fragments like boxes
for me it worked finding the intervals around chord shapes cause you have the fifth and third already

>>74182185
Yeah, take a break then. I get fatigued if I practice that long.

Usually at that point I make a generic progression using the chords of the mode that is fucking me up and loop it. Then I noodle over it for an hour and feel a little better about my progress. It's important to have fun with it sometimes.

The other anons also have good advice.

>>74180771
>gretsch 9555
Silly looking pick guard and, of course, that's where the volume knob goes. I would end up drilling holes. Needs standard adjustable bridge, as well.

>>74180895
>22 frets
22 vs 24 frets equals a two note difference. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. (Not him.)

>>74181234

Next year you'll be 30. Better to be 30 with a year of guitar under your belt.

>>74181412
>repetitive speed excersises
I always have fun applying the same picking to different notes. So creating runs that have the left hand changing direction, etc. The right hand would be allowed to skip strings for a switch and use inside or outside picking each time.

>>74181603
>paint
Paint some paint. There's a reason paint is both a noun and a verb.

>>74182185
>chords
I hit 9 inversions of 7th chords in less time. High and low voicings with some repeats, obviously, for a total of 63 strums. Not bragging about this. Just use your time wisely. (I just started the same for Harmonic Minor. So cool.)

Yes, the one you posted didn't look like that. Bigsby's and strat-style tremolo's are not what I meant, wrong type of vibrato, it has to look like the jazz style, like pic related.

The other ones are dogshit

I know I sound like a pussy, but is their a way to make a guitar quieter while practicing? I'm very self conscious about disturbing others or them making fun of my lack of ability. I was practicing at my college last year and my roommate made fun of me, and I almost gave up on guitar afterwards but I've picked it back up this summer since I'm alone.

Holy shit I'm so confused. Let me try to sort this out.

>>74182391
Original question. Asking about floating vibratos that are not the mustang or jazz/jag system

>>74182417
First answer, strat style and bigsby. Both good answers

>>74182504
Assumed same anon as >>74182417 (in hindsight, it's probably the anon who asked the question) but amends their answer with a picture of a jazzmaster vibrato assembly.

>>74182570
Confused as to why the anon would make his answer suddenly incorrect and nonsensical as an answer to the question, I try to confirm what they meant.

>>74182657
Anon digs in.

>>74182676
I quote the original question

>>74182743
Anon makes another post and I start to suspect that they are, in fact, the person who posed the question. Since I thought I was talking to the person with the answer I am suddenly horribly confused.

In conclusion, I'm retarded and I'm going to bed.

>>74185444
Of the stores in my city, one store has two. One of which is out of my price range, the other of which has an annoyingly wide fretboard. No second hand market near me, and looking at online retailers in my country there are only a couple models that I've found.

>>74177209
When you exercise a task with your muscles repeatedly, you are helping your neurons make more and stronger connections with the muscle tissue required to perform the task.

Even most of the strength people get from weight lifting is this kind of muscle-neuron development, rather than packing actual muscle tissue.

>>74177599
It actually does. Go to the 19:40 mark on this video and play through to 37:44

https://youtu.be/w-Spf-l0pmw?t=1180

It's amazing to me, but doing this daily at this slow to medium tempo has improved my picking speed tremendously in a relatively small amount of time. I use strictly alternate picking for this section.

>>74179398
Because that would mean I'd need to help set up the drums and PA and I can't be doin' with that

>>74185563
Get out of your shithole then
>complaining about a guitar with twice the amount of strings being wider than usual.
Fucking idiot.

>>74165872
One of you guys recommended me .010s for my acoustic guitar recently, Jesus Christ thank you. This plays like a dream now and I really don't need the extra volume and bass from the thicker strings. I actually prefer the overall sound of the guitar with 10s, it's a big dreadnought so it felt too bassy with the original .012s.

>>74186091
>Different gauges are used for different preferences and styles
Wow who could have fucking guessed

>>74185043
I watched tons of YouTube tutorials which really helped. I don't know what /gg/ thinks of him, but a guy with a video series called "this is why you suck at guitar" explained it fairly well. Some other guys too. Watch YouTube videos and keep practicing.

>>74186109
No, I thought "acoustics always come with .012s, I need to man up and play with .012s or it will sound terrible". It actually doesn't and I love this guitar now.

hey what is the best affordable metal amp for home practising/recording ?

>>74186342
PC

>>74186376
ok, so now same question but with an amp that actually make sound when i play with friends

>>74186126
Pro tip you can use electric guitar strings as well.
Again for different styles and preferences. Dont expect to play bends all day with thick strings. Dont expect the same warmth from thinner strings.

>>74186408
Any amp and a shit distortion pedal because you suck and all you will ever make is shit. You will never be a good metal player. I already filled that slot.

Ok Samuel, when you come back take a look at the way this is laid out:

RUA: HILDA DA COSTA, nº:191
CEP: 55590000
BAIRRO CENTRO

CIDADE: IPOJUCA
ESTADO: PERNAMBUCO
PAÍS: BRASIL

RECEIVER: SAMUEL CAMPOS FARIA or GABRIEL ALBUQUERQUE / FERREIRA / SILVA

I'm going to print this exact block of text out as a shipping label and attach it to the envelope so it has to be perfectly laid and spelled out so the goes where it's supposed to. If there are any mistakes or misspelled words tell me so I can correct it. All jokes aside I hope it actually arrives when I send it.

I might not get out until the middle of next month though so for right now don't hold your breath for it.

So I was trying to play Teen Age Riot by Sonic Youth and I realised even though its in 4/4 I'm unable to figure out how to count the rhythm of the repeating part at the very start.
Normally I'm used to just feeling it without counting it but I should be able to count this easily right?
Are there any good ways to practice counting out rhythm?

>>74186565
It just feels better to me (coming from electric guitar) in general. Simply strumming chords also feels much better with these thinner strings. I know that I gave up volume and some bass response, but that also doesn't bother me really.

>>74186641
One more time so you can see how it will be laid out on the envelope:

>>74186645

The only problem is I'm taking care of my grandmother and someone has to be at the house with her so she doesn't hurt herself again so I can't leave until someone comes to take my place.

I know people in /gg/ don't understand it when I say it but the streets are almost literally paved with gold if you live in the US, when I want money I just pluck it from the trees. I don't mind sharing some with Samuel.
>>74186788

If you can't appreciate the fact that you're floating in a place where you're shoulder to shoulder a weird Brazilian kid obsessed with Ace Frehley and KISS and ripping solos on a Les Paul copy in a favela I don't know what the fuck to tell you. Something like that shouldn't even exist and we certainly shouldn't be witnessing it. I can't imagine being blind to all the literal miracles transpiring all around you everyday, all the time. That has to be so awful.

You can't take advantage of an opportunity if you can't see it in the first place. I'm buying something with my money, it doesn't matter if anybody understands that.

>>74187253
Fuck off sjw go get emotional somewhere else. Youre implying everyone has lived a golden life like you. Everyone has struggles. Stop virtue signalling. Thats what plebbit is for.

And desu the fact he even has 3 guitars in whatever shape already says hes not in a favela. His household has some income.

I would say go with the jcm 800 but good luck trying to find one cheap. The 900 really likes compression and Miles boost to push it over the edge but will get muddy with any distortion pedal used all the way in Channel b.

Ur welcome are you planning to rely on your distortion on the amp or on a pedal?

>>74188438
dud just search these amps on youtube
tweeds are fender tweeds which is an era of fender amps

Pedal, I find it easier to just use a clean setting then use pedal for distortion.

old country and blues guys used them
rock guys use them
they have really nice distortion
theyre also used for sparkly cleans, specially the bassman

Okay but keep in mind that there are also amps with selectable channels. And if you're just going to rely on pedals that it's okay to get an amp that doesn't have the gain stage just cleans. Look @ blackstar ht pedals. And I also have a late 80s mxr Distortion plus pedal
