I'm recovering from surgery and I'm unbelievably bored. I can write out tabs or sheet music for any song for guitar, bass or mandolin if anyone wants. I think I'll charge 10 bucks an hour or we can negotiate something maybe.

>>74349094
Yngwie is really mean but he puts on a fun show

first for fuck off waifu fags

>>74349149
https://youtu.be/5xpkZ8eiS00

>>74349194
I mean, it's probably gonna take me a few days and I'll probably lose ambition. That's a ton of chords

does a guitarist who aims to get professional really have to have under his fingers every mode of the minor melodic scale, minor harmonic, some diminished scales etc?

>>74349228
So you're looking at 50 cents an hour?

>>74349400
Depends on what you mean by professional. Really the only type of guitar playing where you would need to know every mode and scale is jazz when improvising. Of course it's good to be knowledgable on these things but you really don't need to memorize everything. What I found that's more important is developing "note interval sense", being able to hear something in your head and play it note for note, and tell the difference in intervals between something like a diminished, perfect, or augmented fourth, which if you didnt know the modes and scales would really just mean playing in key without thinking about it.

what's the problem with this overdrive? it sounds fuzzy as hell, but they tell it has a tube amp sound.

Free Android tuner? Recommend one, please.

>>74350786
Check out the fender one, its totally free and has lots of different tunings. Phone tuners are not so accurate tho

Is there any actual reason to tune to all fourths?

>>74350786
Pitchlab is the best in my experience.

I used a green kitchen scothbrite pad to clean my fret wire am I retarded

they look like 100x more silver now though

Is bass easy if you already play guitar

>>74351677
It's easy to play it with a pick. Learning to pluck at the same skill level takes a lot of practice

>>74351294
>>74351649
Cool, thanks!

is it ok to put a guitar solo on "wild world"
where in the song structure it would fit

>>74349094
Hey, looking to buy my first bass. Currently already about to pull the trigger on a 5-string,but need a bit of help regarding amplifiers.I already have some decent audio-technica headphones, so should I just get a cheap vox headphone amp? I'll be practicing and live with roommates so I don't want to make much noise.

>>74351351
If you want to have an easier time visualizing intervals and making scale shapes more symmetrical.

>>74352193
Just do it over the chorus and start out your solo by mimicking the vocal line, then go off on a tangent for a bit and then bring it back before you noodle too long and bore everyone.

>>74352392
but theres another verse after the chorus

>>74352321
Get an audio interface and download Reaper or something. Better than buying a tiny shitty amp

or you could just not use an amp duh

>>74352419
So solo over the verse riff too, because that sounds cool when you change the riff halfway through a solo. Makes everyone's ears perk up. Then when that riff is done, just go back to playing rhythm and let the vocals come back.

I haven't listened to the song in a while and I'm not going to right now because I'm listening to this and don't want to interrupt it:

https://youtu.be/RCkoI4PGZNk

but just stick your solo in somewhere before the final choruses are sung.

I think if you stick a solo in and then go through another whole verse people start to get bored. Like in "Ride the Lightning." Great song up until the end of the solo. Then I'm just waiting for it to be over after that.

>>74352478
That's how you develop a bunch of muting issues without realizing it. Amplification is important

>>74352525
No thats how you develop true skill
The guys who always play unplugged and quiet fucking rip it when they get amped up

tips on finding guitars on craigslist?

>>74352556
for that, just practice on an acoustic along

>>74352493
great will do that thanks

>>74352525
>>74352556
I think it's good to practice both plugged and unplugged.

>>74352525
>>74352556

Who do I believe? Because I don't mind not spending $100 on amp stuff but already am spending ~$350 on the guitar.

It's good to practice with a completely clean setting, but you still need to be amplified. There is absolutely no benefit from practicing unplugged, all it does is make your mistakes quieter so they're harder to hear and correct. The guys who practice unplugged and rip when amplified have already spent years perfecting technique while plugged in.

this guy rips when amplified
https://vimeo.com/227201999

>>74352672
This. Plus you won't hear yourself that well and will pick harder to compensate, the electric guitar has an amplifier to make you loud so you don't need to pick very hard. You can pick harder on an acoustic since how hard you pick determines the volume and overall dynamics.

>>74352752
spotted the numale who picks softly and with edged pick
let me figure it, you also own an ibanez or similar which happens to be set with really low action and 9s and your playing sound like that of a weak handed gentle girl

>>74352752
you are putting way too much thought into stupid shit

what you do is not dynamics, you just play loosely

I think you learn better dynamic control playing unplugged.

I've seen how lightly Yngwie picks on 8s.

>>74352525
Fucking this. I got held back so fucking bad because I had the liberty to completely ignore muting. I didn't understand it at all. I thought metal guitar was sorcery because I didn't know how to mute whatsoever. I thought every power chord had to be hit exactly and that the people who did this were fucking wizards. It was a mess. I was shocked when I found out how easy it really was and how much I had missed.

>If I reply to my own post enough times other people might think it isn't total shit

>>74353809
>I thought every power chord had to be hit exactly and that the people who did this were fucking wizards

huh?

>>74353869
There's no winning or losing a samefag argument. I responded because clearly you were talking about the main argument of the thread that two people had just responded to my post about. Once again, believe what you want, it changes nothing

>>74353879
Well to elaborate, very early on I thought that while playing power chords I had to keep my finger OFF of any strings I wasn't playing, and that to keep them from ringing out I had to very precisely pick only the three chorded strings while everything else was open. Then I discovered that if I just lay my finger across the open strings I can just whack at it freely without making horrible ringing. I.E. shit basic muting technique.

>>74353962
i should be thankful that i was told about muting early on
but i didnt do it so intensely because i thought some of it looked bad

>>74353958
>this poor damage control

lol having a laugh now m8

started the steve stine fretboard mastery series a couple days ago. in the meantime though i've been really obsessed with being able to improv well and learning modes in dif keys and it was to be expected but i sound terrible. is there anything specific i should practice or do besides continuing playing and not giving up?

>>74352493
wait. so i cut off the last verse and solo over it instead?

do you can listen to the song now to see if you have a specific idea for it? i couldnt come up with anything decent

>>74354012
just be urself

>>74353999
At least I learned some precision. Still sounded like shit since even if my pick didn't touch it they still rang. It made me think that playing fast punk music was a great feat of dexterity to not hit the open strings. So stupid.

>>74354012
learn your favorite songs on guitar and take from your favorite artists and combine their make it your own sound

>>74354097
haha lol funny how we guess stuff we dont know

>>74354012
learn solos from your faovrite guitarists so you figure how they use the scales musically

>>74354054
>>74352493
dont mind it
the last verse is just repeating the same lyrics
it starts with just a lead guitar playing the vocal melody, then the vocals come in the second half of the verse "babe i love u.... but if you wanna leave take good care", then chorus
now im thinking if a solo during the whole verse up to the chorus would be boring. but a short solo of the lenght as the original would be like nothing

>>74352752
Lol I do own an ibanez, but I at with .12-.72.

what do i mean by professional? now i dont know.
i want to be a good choice to hire of a guitarist as sideman or for studio work. yeah thats what i mean

i have decent interval sense and can play what i hear pretty well (though i mostly only hear pentatonics and major scale modes lol).
but its not enough, i believe, to play just by ear over a part that is on such weird intevals key that i dont know previously.

it is not usually needed for the guitarist thats doing the guitar job on an album or as a sideman, to know these weird scales and modes? if i had to play a song like that, i would have to sit down previously and learn its scale.

I'm not trying to rant or bitch or vent here, I'm genuinely curious.

Anyone else barely know any songs simply cause you look at a tab, see how long it is and bail out? Most of the songs that I know either have simple tabs, or straight up chord sheets. Anyone know how to get out of this hurdle? I know that if I put myself to it I could probably learn way more songs but I just get discouraged when I see a long ass tab sheet.

>>74360664
You're not supposed to stretch across 4 frets on bass. If that's the only reason why you want a shortscale then that's silly.
In general they tend to sound thumpier due to the thicker strings that you need for decent tension, you have less choice in terms of strings and they don't sound as tight or articulate as a full scale bass from my experience.

>>74360879
On bass you use the 1 2 4 method. First finger on the first fret, second finger on the second and 4th finger on the 3rd fret.
Depending on your hand size you should stick with that up to the 7th fret or so.

Jaco has huge freaking hands, you CAN do stretches but it shouldn't be your go to method, the guy asking was obviously not very experienced on bass and you're comparing him to a legend, and Jaco also did many things "wrong". He did a ridiculous thumb stretch to hit a false harmonic when it can be done way easier with a different technique.

Pre-owned Apex guitars cost €5000
These are state-of-art one of a kind instruments, made by an Austrian artist

>>74361760
And even better still is that the minor scale is exactly the same as the major scale, you only need to learn where to place it. Nobody told me it was this easy. Everyone always says to learn "all your scales and modes" as if they aren't all the exact same thing.

I literally never heard of them and I live here. Also they're ugly as fuck. We have some luthiers who make really nice guitars and basses here at a more reasonable price.

>>74361979

that's, like, your opinion, man

>>74362011
Yeah, of course it is.

>>74349094
My GAY boyfriend is coming over soon and then we'll play guitar together while being totally GAY. After that we'll probably have GAY anal sex and cuddle. I'm GAY by the way and I play guitar.

Hows the epiphone les paul custom pro for a beginner? Been trying to get a mate into playing for while now and hes set on a les paul

>>74362413
I'M GAY

>>74362334

>>74362413

>>74362543

My GAY boyfriends is great, I'd recommend super GAY dicks. And they should be cute and pink, no negros. GAY negros all have HIV. I'm GAY btw.

>>74362644
lol what you doing

meh doesnt matter youre on /gay guitarists/ anyway

>>74362659
>lol what you doing
Just being GAY. Are you a homophobe or something?

>>74350786
If you ever decide to spend money look at the super snark 2. If you go through goytar center you can get the lifelong protection for $3. I don't normally buy that shit but for $3 why not.

It's pretty responsive the older ones would have a short delay

For whatever reason i can't seem to be able to tune my giutar or bass. My tuner works fine I've stretched the strings. Idk why i just can't get it to tune.

>>74362752
Lift the strings up and rub the nut with some pencil lead. it could be strings snagging on it. Failing that, try the bridge area and if there's anything wrong.

>>74353962
>>74353999
I'm glad I learned a lot of this shit on my own naturally without guidance. Fucking dodged bullets of bad habits. No idea how I did either.

>>74362752
Have you tried lubricating everything with your GAY lovejuices? I'm GAY btw

>>74362775
The nut?

>>74356422
It's mostly because I give up after leaning half of it because I have the attention span of a goldfish.

But if you learn songs you genuinely like, it becomes less of a chore and more of a fun learning experience. Sometimes shit looks long but it's not as bad as you think. Half the time shits repeated in a song anyway so it's not that much to learn.

Are you GAY too?!!!

Why aren't you GAY anon! It's hip and cool! Become GAY with me anon!

>>74362925
i like girls (male)

>>74362925
Gay is so early 2010s. Its all about transgender now.

>>74362815
Yeah, put graphite in the nut slots. You can use a pencil if you're a pleb, or you can get some graphite lubricant made for locks. Or you can get some guitar branded lubricant. Whatever.

>>74362972
Pencil prolly good enough. Is this a common problem or more of a random fluke/cheap giutar problem.

>>74363013
Shitty nut issue. More and more guitars use graphite nuts that don't need it. Always a good idea to get rid of the original nut a low/mid price guitar comes with.

rate singing
https://clyp.it/vywdydda
i'm gay also

>>74363111
why dont need
it saves you from nubing the nut every week

>>74363133
Graphite nuts are self lubricating. Plastic nuts found on cheaper guitars aren't.

>>74363122
fucking terrible you shitskin

>>74362611
What is this?

>>74363157
you said more and more cheaper guitars use graphite nuts and they dont need it, your positioning regards graphite nuts stays unclear

>>74363122
You're GAY?! :333333

>>74363180
it's a gay

>>74363189
Learn to read motherfucker.

>>74363197
i am! you are gay tooo?

>>74363013
Pretty common. Also Gibson headstocks have a shitty design that pulls the string at a sharp angle from the nut to the tuning peg, creating bad tuning issues.

>>74363223
Yeah I'm totally GAY! :3333333 X3333333

>>74363210
ah you said graphite nuts that dont need lubing not that the guitars dont need the graphtie nut

>>74363230

>that pulls the string at a sharp angle from the nut to the tuning peg
the bigger issue is, the badly positioned truss rod cavity makes the headstock joint thin as hell, that's why Gibsons break in most cases

holy sheet. ill never do bad to my les paul again after seeing this
do you have a similar style pic of the neck joint?

>>74363315
I've never broken my gibson headstock and have had it since 1982, i also have played countless guitars with the same design and never had a failure in forty years of playing.
Most tunning issues are with the nut pinching the strings due to the slot being too tight. The nut is sized for an average string gage and not as precise as it could be. I do guitar setups so I know a bit about this.

>>74363180
Its the fuzz peaks from adventure audio. Like a big muff with a couple more options and a feedback loop switch. I did a short demo of it. Fucking love this pedal, though I think I'm set on anything dirty for a while until I get the MS-3 I'm saving up for.

post your expensive high pass filters roflmao

>>74363228
the angle between the nut and the tuning pegs is not necessarily a bad thing, fenders have string trees exactly because they dont have an angled headstock
fuck off repeating stuff you read on gay guitar forums retard

>>74363724
cant wait for it fufufufeee i want dicks

>>74363745
It's the angle to the side moron, the strings don't run parallel to the neck over the nut.

>>74363728
nice retort loser

How many of you fa/gg/s like gypsy jazz?

>>74363912
Love it but I'm too retarded to play it.

>>74363776
mfw it took me 10 minutes to realize fender headstock have the strings straight over the headstock

>>74363912
the absolute state of django's fingers

>>74363951
Yeah, and stuff like PRS headstock's are even better since they don't need string trees and they have the strings running straight over the nut.

>>74363937
What aspect of it is stopping you from being able to play it?

>>74363912
it's all arpeggios of two chords - Em F#dim, repeat (in a rhythm of mafia)

>>74363979

i still prefer the look of gibsons tho. prs headstock looks small and ugly

that's why she was so disappointed in yours

>>74363983
I'm retarded when it comes to theory and I'm lazy. I just started playing guitar and I'm having trouble strumming simple chords and on bass (my main instrument) I'm too stupid for walking bass.
>>74364004
I was talking purely, 100% practicality.

>>74363912
A good gateway
Lots of fun little licks to learn

>>74352525
Well shit, been playing unplugged for a month now. Guess I'll better buy an amp real quick.

>buy shitty mim strat
>tons of parts, new pickups, hardware etc
>pay tech to put it all together and set it up
>it played and sounded better before the 200 dollars worth of parts and 100 dollars worth of labor

well at least i finally have that out of my system

Why are guitarists so insecure?

>>74366665
Probably because it's all they have to offer as a person so they get all douchey about it.

Since someone mentioned gypsy jazz, why does all other forms of jazz on the guitar sound like total arse? And why do they all have that shitty half baked tone that sounds like they turned their pickups off

>>74366832
>that fucking guy

Not enough greentext for this

>>74364208
what a gaping whore

>>74366881
don't talk about your mother that way

>>74365766
what is holding you from playing along with the original

>>74366842
Tone knob all the way down and/or flatwound strings. They like a super mellow guitar tone.
Guitar in jazz can come across like a crippled piano, they don't really play to the guitars strength.

>>74364325
could you point good gypsy music to learn

>>74366891
heck, i'm sorry, i didnt know we were siblings ok

>>74365673
just put her the old pups famalam.

>>74366904
Because I want to hear myself without the original guitar in there to see how I'm doing with timing and my sound and shit

>>74367114
play along to a metronome

how to stop it from building gunk under the strings that need a cloth with alcohol to get off, every fucking time i play. washing hnds before isnt enough

>>74366842

>>74367520
>300$
What about your amp?

>if through a miracle I actually keep on playing I want the guitar to do a good job for as long as possible
You are better off getting better first, then upgrading to a decent guitar rather than wasting your time/money on gear you wouldn't appreciate anyways

>>74367567
>amp
Already got a Fender Mustang I V.2, certainly good enough for starters.

And yes, a better guitar is worth nothing if it's played by an amateur, but still. If I practise enough I should getter eventually and I'd rather spend a little bit more now than having to buy another even more expensive one too early.

>>74367385
Change your strings every so often. Also alchohol might not be the greatest choice. Seems a bit abrasive on the fret board...

Bullet points:

I had no idea it was possible to be this much of a homosexual.

We can't fucking rate you if you hide your playing behind the backing track.

Stop making faggoty expressions we don't need to see your ugly budget zoo-lander faces that you've been practicing in the mirror.

Pick songs that aren't trash

Don't include your face at all, you aren't pretty enough to be a model in the first place but it's hard to pay attention to your playing if you try and distract us by looking like a total jackass.

You have some of the most generic tattoos and piercings that I have ever seen.

>>74363451
Fuck dude stop playing so sloppy I can barely hear your playing over how much string noise you let ring.
