I did listen, dullard. It's so much more obvious when he uses the higher notes. Pulloffs don't alway have to sound like Van Halen.

>>74511423
that is the sound of a pick, retard

yes/no
for 30$ this seems to good to be true and to me all reviewers are paid shills anyone got one of these?

>>74511446
I already said pick/pulloff, dullard. Prove that it's all studio picked already or stfu.

Alright boys my computer sucks. What's the minimum RAM I need to have on a laptop to record and do all my shit without it throwing a fit and freezing and skipping? I'm on 2GB of RAM from an old COMPAQ laptop circa 2011 and I'm ready to smash it

>>74511611
you hear pick noise on 16ths not on 8ths. theres not a single note without pick noise

>>74511631
i produce with 3gb

> tfw you've been playing for more than 10 years and you only know three scales

>>74511631
CPU dude not ram

>>74511655
Dude, go back to the last thread where I said portando and there's your pick noise.

>>74511757
wtf is portando
that is not the sound of pullofs i'm sure

>>74511788
Picked legato. That opening has a flow to it... I'm not saying Van Halen. Angus can obviously do it with or without the pick but I'm hearing a mixture of the two. Fuck, maybe I'm over thinking it now. LOL, you win.

Reminder there's no difference between humbucker models or manufacturers.

Can you tell which is the Les Paul with Seymour Duncans and which is the Schecter Strat with in-house humbuckers?

>>74511611
How can these retards argue about this? It's obvious Thunderstruck intro is picked on album. Only people who cannot play and/or are deaf make these kind of arguments.

How do I learn sight reading and solfege without getting bored and giving up in the first 5 minutes?

Post Thunderstruck intro. It's good practice for left/right hand syncing. Something about it makes my brain hurt.

>>74512720
I don't know about solfege that sounds gay but learning notes and sight reading is simple: Pick a song you don't know yet, take a guitar and sit down. Start to practice. If you are bored that means you don't really want to learn it.

>>74513064
You butchered one of my favorite songs with your singing. It had no emotion or power behind ot and your accent was off-putting. I would stick to guitar playing desu. Sorry i know that is harsh but its what i think.

> start playing and singing songs

I'll takes what I can gets but I wish I could trade one vocal range for the other.

>>74513458
Start eating estrogen. Your voice will be able to reach higher levels that way but it takes about 3 months for the effects to kick in though. Lot of singers eat estrogen because it extends your vocal range a bit.

I'm still waiting for your Thunderstruck intro clips. Or wait... are you saying you can't even play that?

>>74513973
This is great, a classical version of Thunderstruck. It's pretty hard to play multiple times over, something to do with CNS and stuff. Angus Young however has been drinking his whole life and that makes him probably more like a reptile who can get used to anything what he plays.

did anybody ever play lead on a jazzmaster/jaguar type guitar

>>74514507

Picked version of course. It's a rock song in the end so you will need to add more balls to it.

>>74514535

no its a mellow/chill acoustic song

>>74514546
Get Guitar Pro 6, it's great tool for learning. No matter what you do, play from notes or tabs or use it just to create a song library but it's excellent piece of software. You need to self activate the learning process in this sense that get something to practice from and sight read it from notes. I'd probably start with something like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-Spf-l0pmw. I'm sure you can get the Guitar Pro version notes and then just strip off the tablature markings.

>>74511311
Ibanez Iceman or Gibson SG?

Also, Les Paul or ES?

You wanted to know who plays Jaguar (tm). Your faggy passive aggressive behavior is annoying. Stop it.

Ice Frehley plays similar instrument. Ibanez is better quality than run of the mill Gibsons. Gibson is not what it used to be.

you sir are wrong. ace frehley doesnt play an ibanez and never played a guitar that looked like an iceman model. the only time he ever played an ibanez publicly was on the late 70s and they werent icemans, they were explorers, and he did it very few times.

some guy known as paul stanley, who happened to be in the same band as ace frehley in some point of time, is known for playing iceman guitars, though, and that is probably the reason you confused these two musicians. thanks for letting me.

>>74515036
I'm not the biggest KISS fan at all but it's been fascinating to read biographies of various artists. Paul Stanley never did drugs or drank. That's so weird and he bashed Ace Fehrley a lot. Paul Stanley is entitled faggot.

>>74515069

Having a job is better than spamming /gg/ about how you can monetize yourself. Your face looks fairly similar to a hooker that's been hit with a shovel a few times, some dudes are into that look, you could probably start sucking dick for money if you need strings as badly as you say.

Sometimes they are. It's mostly that their quality control is nonexistant. Sometimes their stuff is good, sometimes it's complete shit, and there's really no way of knowing when you'll get what. The CEO is also an annoying douche, but that's another matter.

For the most part, you're safer buying a non-Gibson unless you can play a bunch to find a good one.

Black gloss finishes always look cheap though

Word. I want a Strandberg even though I've never played one.. the neck shape and fanned frets seem like it would really comfortable

>>74519456
My issue with them is $1700 is a shit-ton for a Korean factory guitar, and I'm not sure a custom one would be worth double the price. But then again I haven't played one either. But either way it seems like most of the cost just comes from the fact that they became a meme instrument

I think he's going through rough times. Looks like he's depressed and few months ago he mentioned something about going through bankruptcy. He has lot of interesting information especially about the guitar manufacturing industry but he's probably bit insane for real.

I thought Strandbergs are manufactured in Sweden? If not that's too steep for factory made guitar especially when lot of other guitars come probably from same place as well which are half as expensive. Of course Strandberg's design is special and all that but still...

>>74520259
>I thought Strandbergs are manufactured in Sweden
The original custom ones are, for close to 4 grand. A couple years ago they started manufacturing in Korea, those are the models most people have now

Okay yeah everyone goes through tough times but that doesn't mean you should be an asshole to everyone that doesn't share your points of view, especially at his age. I was a bitter cunt with a superiority complex too 4 years ago but that was justified because I was 16.
And it's not just recently, I remember disliking him since I discovered his channel a few years back because he had that "everybody's a fuckin' idiot except me" vibe.
I mean just read the fucking shit he writes:
>If you are coming here just to talk ignorant shit and insult me, your comment will never be seen so don't waste your time. words that will get you instantly banned and deleted are "immature", "childish", "children", "grow up" and any other non-argument, or a leftist shame technique, lack of brain cells, lack of reading comprehension, or labeling designed to belittle someone's position so you don't have to come up with a legitimate counter argument. you snowflakes can cry elsewhere. I have no tolerance for sjw weakling cucks that get their feelings hurt over stupid shit. go back to your professor and cry in your "safe space" until you grow a pair you insufferable loser. I will also ban you if for whatever reason you try to bring Trump into this.
Not to mention he keeps talking about his "85K subscriber YT channel" and how his video will "go viral", his comment section is filtered, meaning he gets to choose what comments show up and which ones to delete. The fucking idiot doesn't understand that everything went to shit because of his lack of professionalism when contacting a company and complains about it.
Fucking Christ, that's just cringy. If I ever start sperging out like that when I'm an old man, please don't hesitate to put a bullet between my eyebrows.

I know the guy is having health issues too, I don't wish bad stuff to happen to him, in fact I wish he gets better, but come on. He's just making life harder on himself.

Sorry for the blog post, it just really pisses me off.

>>74520349
This is the demise of guitar industry. They shove up all the brands there and there are so many guitars which barely differ from each other. I mean it's just wood and wires and stuff but is there really a reason why people need Never Hasbeen artist's signature model because essentially they are all same guitars coming out from same handful of factories.

I'm with you on that douche. It's kind of a shame because he has some valid points to make about guitar manufacture and sound; he's one of the few somewhat prominent youtubers who disregard the common knowledge and voodoo thinking that usually go into that stuff and approach things scientifically. But that's all ruined by his demeanor and tendency to approach everything like an edgy teenage poltard. From that video (and his follow-up), it's pretty easy to see why his business failed. He must be unpleasant and unprofessional as fuck to deal with. Sadly, it seems like his attitude is going to keep getting reinforced because he has a bunch of sycophantic followers now.

Do any of you bother protecting your original works before sharing them? I understand in the UK copyright protection can be as simple as just posting a written or recorded song to yourself and leaving the dated envelope sealed, but is there anything I should do to clarify copyright protection when posting online?

Believe it or not I think my songs are good enough that some cunt might well try and present them as their own work.

Which one? Airline twin tone or Gretsch Streamliner?

>>74531670
Both look like shit too me but that's just because I'm a Heavy Memetal guy. The Gretsch looks less weird I guess, thought it was an ES335 at first.

What's a good Tele in the sub $400 range (used)? MIM Fenders and G&L Asats immediately spring to mind, but are there any others to look into? Are the G&L's generally considered better than MIM Fenders?

Since no one has named it yet, I'll give a hint. It's a character theme from a fighting game series.

I've found a second hand Gibson Les Paul Classic T 2017 model for a ridiculously good price. It's utterly beautiful.

The thing is, I don't play electric, I have never even tried one. I am not doing great for money right now either but I can afford the guitar on finance. This deal just seems too good to pass up though and I play acoustic so much I know the guitar won't gather dust.

What I am worried about is the cost of the essential accessories like the amp and cable. To do the guitar justice what is the minimum (sterling) I should be spending? I will mainly be playing with headphones and I play blues, folk and classic rock. Any recommendations for what I will need please?

>>74534551
>gibshit
Flip it to some 13yo for a couple hundred profit

>>74534551
You could buy an interface and play through your computer but what a waste of a LP. If you want everything you'd need an amp, cabinet, cables, picks, strings, strap etc. I don't know if you want to spend on that.

>>74534551
If you don't play with other people don't bother getting an amp yet. You'll be more than fine with good headphones and computer. Install software like Amplitube and for DAW, Reaper as that's pretty cheap and you'll be able to play with nice sounds. Takes minimal setup. There are youtube videos about how to set things up anyway.

>>74534946
Nothing, it's about marketing... However I think Kurt worked with Fender to make custom Jaguar before he died so they have just kept selling the custom one or at least this is how I remember... But essentially it's just about milking the name just like what Dean is doing with their Dimebag models.

"As far as the Kurt’s gear goes, he had a pretty high tolerance level towards what kind of a guitar he happened to be playing. It needed to have proper tuners and a humbucker in the bridge, preferably a Seymour Duncan JB, and it needed to be cheap and inefficient."

>>74534946
>All Kurt did to his was swap a JB into the bridge
That's what he did to his Mustangs. The Jag actually had a ton of mods done to it. He didn't do them, either. A couple of years ago, TDPRI tracked down the guitar to some country session musician that used it on a tour with someone (Hank Marvin?) in the late 1970s. The double humbuckers, toggle switch, and extra knob were all added by that guy.

Most of the price is in he name, though. Fender makes a few HH Jags that are way cheaper.

>>74534071
>Are the G&L's generally considered better than MIM Fenders?
Yes. G&L's tribute line makes some really great stuff for the price. I think G&L has been going through some weird production issues lately, too, which means some models are being blown out pretty cheaply through Musicians Friend right now.

>>74535831

Hey /gg/, novice-intermediate guitarist here, and I'm wondering what I should grab for my next addition to the collection.

>>74541539
Blackjack looks probably most interesting to me. But the thing is that all of these guitars are manufactured in Korea, probably even in the same factory so essentially it doesn't matter which guitar you will get...

If you're splashing around so much money on unnecessary guitars I'm assuming you've already got a killer amp?

>>74541539
>>74542377

Oh nevermind, I thought you already owned those guitars.

It depends on what kind of guitar(s) you've got currently and what you want to play.

>>74542456
I currently has a Juju LP.

I mostly want to get into that whole Sabbath/70's Doom sound, but I have a soft spot for G&L guitars.

The baritone I hear is more of a novelty, and ESP makes a pretty killer baritone too.

I'm mostly just looking for input on the aforementioned guitars. I hear really good things about the G&L tribute line, same for the Iommi signature SG.

>>74542491

tbqh your current Les Paul should be more than enough to give you that Sabbath/70s doom sound. If you're not satisfied with it you could just put in some new pickups and get some Iommi-eseque effects pedals. Your amp and your effects matter a lot more than the kind of guitar you're using.

>>74542579
I gotcha.

Well, out of the previous guitars, which would you recommend to be a solid investment? They all are in pretty good, virtually never used condition if not brand new.

>>74542629

Guitars are never a solid investment lmao. The Epi and Gibson should be better at holding their value though.

How easy is it to return guitars to GC?

Bought new a couple days ago, after playing it twice a tiny finish crack has appeared where my pick scratches the body. Not even noticeable if you aren't looking but it really bothers me. Could I return/swap it out no problem, or will they give it rigorous inspection? All the included extra stuff is still there.

>>74542771

If you're lazy it's a comparative hassle to mess around with locking nuts, wire cutters, and bridge screws, and having to adjust the spring tension if you ever want to tune lower than D.

>>74542911
yes turning a screw a few turns is such a hassle! fuck!

>>74541993
I've shit talked you a ton but I figure I should offer constructive criticism too.

This new eq sounds better, I agree with the other dude that it's a bit too thin. Maybe a bit too glassy too if that makes sense? Have you tried maybe dropping out the high mids/highs a bit and fiddling a bit on the neck pickups for a smoother sound? Sometimes using your guitars actual tone knob can help too, but I find that pretty finnicky.

You might want to consider light compression or a more saturated tone because some of the notes are a bit flubbed when you do more hammer on and pull off style licks. You recover very well from those sorts of errors, and those sorts of licks are harder with more overdriven bluesy tones than on modern higher saturated shred tones.

As far as when you mess up on normal picked licks I feel like doing a few more takes will totally get you to nail down those issues because it lets you kind of flesh out an overall idea for your solo which often helps you be more focused on the improvy side of things. It seems counterproductive to the whole off the cuff bluesy thing but it's really not in my opinion as it's still improv but the extra takes help you really figure out the idea you're trying to express. Generally the rule I've seen from other people is for improv solos do tons of takes 'til you're basically bored of it, then do a few more, then pick the best one. Maybe other people do it different?

Lastly, I think it's pretty important to keep in mind that a live unrecorded improv solo can have a bunch of mistakes but they can all only really be heard once so it's a bit more forgiving than working with recording where people can really critically listen and find flaws. Neither is necessarily better in any sense but I think it's important to not approach them like they are the same.

You genuinely sound good despite the fact that the blues rock thing isn't exactly my favorite music.

Please stop shilling your shit constantly though.

I don't get how the pick hitting anything other than the strings can be made to sound like the usual way of things. Are you self-taught?

Have any of you guys had a problem with a pickup selecting consistently? When I switch to my bridge pickup sometimes it works perfectly but half the time it either isn't picking anything up or is at half volume.

>>74543956
Yup, when I stay away from a particular guitar for a while. This probably isn't the best fix but I work the switch a bunch of times until it works consistently.
