that thing at 0:49 is a mistake, no intention to sound "jittery mush" or anything like that.

how do i do that?

>>74249376
no, i started intentionally doing subtle licks. at 0:30 is where the rhythm changes to heavy chords and i changed the lead to fit it.

What are you, some kind of sissy boy? I gig with a head and two 100 lb 4x12s. Learn to lift shit, it's not that hard

Local store has a used HSS strat for $300. I ran the serial and it's an 85/86 MIJ. The previous owner repainted it and possibly swapped out the humbucker for something aftermarket. The floyd rose style trem is original, but there's some oxidation on the screws. There's also some light surface rust on the pickups and locking part between neck and headstock. Minor wear and tear on the body paint but that doesn't bother me.

I played it and it sounded and felt comfy, am I looking at someone else's old junk or is this a good deal?

>>74259194
I'm getting back into playing after a few years out. My biggest concern about this that it's a partscaster, which doesn't break a deal totally for me but it feels dishonest if I'm buying it when it's sold as a MIJ strat.

>>74259141
I'm not offended. You said it was intentional. I'm open to the fact that there are many different approaches to music. Yours is another. Today I was introduced to Math Rock. Yet another approach. I subscribe to the adage, "If you like where you're at. Keep doing what you're doing." Projecting emotional states onto the people you converse with on the Internet, though, is something you might want to stop doing... or not... lol.

If it's priced at 3 it's probably some kind of frankenstrat, but as long as it plays well and sounds good that's a good price for a guitar of that quality.

>>74259527

Doesn't sound like a partscaster except for the config. If it has the sys1 trem and the "lock box," it's likely genuine. If the frets are good, go for it. And make sure the fine tuners are straight... If rusty a heavy handed player may have angled them. I still kick myself for passing up on a "snow white" at my local shop for $450 with original pups. Not minding the cosmetic damage, you can sleep sound shaving off that extra $150.

Guitar brand that has the name repeat on the headstock a couple of times? Guitar store guy tried to interest me in a brown swirly one. I meant to research it but the name escapes me.

>>74260857
banjo if you want to have fun while looking like an eccentric weirdo, uke if you want to have fun while looking like an annoying trendy hipster.

Just picked up the guitar and having an insanely hard time learning chord changes. I've played for 10-20 minutes a day for a few weeks and they don't sound smooth at all.

This leads me to thumb position, because I feel I'm tensing my hand holding my thumb behind the neck, instead of around. Justinguitar recommends keeping it there to build strength, and it's the "correct" way to hold it according to classical guitarists. If you keep the neck horizontally, not at an angle like classic guitarists do, it doesn't feel like it's correct to keep the thumb behind the neck, because it puts the wrist in unnatural position. If you play with the neck at an angle however, the wrist remains neutral even if you keep the thumb in this position.

I've never seen this fact mentioned, it's either "thumb behind neck is always correct as a beginner" or "just do what's natural, but you might develop bad habits".

Am I looking at this wrong? How bad is it really for a beginner to play with thumbs around? It keeps my wrist neutral, while thumb behind does not, and that feels very important to correct, relaxed technique. I come from a piano background and I've studied technique in-depth, but I still have problems with this concept in terms of the guitar. Can't be bothered with a teacher at the moment.

no thanks

>>74259194
It sounds like a really good deal to me. $300 is pretty decent for something like that, even if it is a frankenstrat. The MIJ stuff from the 80s is solid as fuck, and the best thing about it is that since it's not American and not vintage, you can still get it for pretty cheap.

How exactly am I supposed to strum? Are you supposed to flick your wrist or keep your wrist straight and move your whole arm?

>>74261557
keep your pick hand steady and move your hand grabbing the neck up and down

>>74261557
Flick wrist. There are times when you'd keep your wrist straight though, such as tremolo strumming. Also, when in doubt - look up live videos of your favorite songs and watch the guitarist's technique.

take out the G & B string. too much competition for the top E
get rid of the D string for its audacity to take the prime spot in the middle of the fret neck.
eradicate the bottom E by constantly striking it and never replacing the string.
you only get one pick up, 2 is for bourgeois filth
remove the tone knob, equality is our strength
remove the volume knob, all guitars will have the same voice under Communist beats.
and get rid of your tuning pegs, if your guitar doesn't want to stay in tune then it doesn't deserve to have others work for it.

Didn't know that amp had a headphone port. Really cool. It may be obvious, but are you a Petrucci fan? I mean, you pretty much have his setup. Also, does the Mark V live up to the hype?

swap rhythm and lead improv, learn some songs, write some music

>What if one is much much better than the other
doesn't matter when improvising, you can both play to your ability. Other than that, the guy who's better has to be patient and teach the other guy some things or just play at an easier level

6 string on bass and 8 on guitar are where you start to get diminishing returns, adding more results more in a "fun novelty" than a meaningful musical tool.
The range on an 8 string is huge anyway, I don't even understand why you would need more.
