/gg/ - Guitar and Bass General

>inb4 make a living off or monetize tired old licks

So how do I go about converting my brain to playing bitching jazz lines instead of generic pentatonic fuckery?

Is there any way to make humbuckers have the same "bite" as the Tele in this video or can that trebly sound only be achieved through single coils?

>>74545209

Also has anyone tried G&L's Z-coils? They're apparently single coils wired in a way that cancels out the hum. Seems pretty nifty.

Mind giving feedback on the guitar on my friend's song?

I like the mirror edition but either way that sticker is coming off. No stickers on my baseball cap and for damn sure none on my Ric! Kinda wish they would use a darker wood for the fretboard, tho.

I just bought a cool modded strat with a Floyd Rose Special. It didn't come with an arm, but I had an extra lying around. I tried to put it in, but the little plastic part won't fit in the hole. Any fixes?

Keep listening to Wes and jazz in general. Kenny Burrel is a must obviously. Try to copy the sounds and ideas. Play around with different scales.

For anyone who needs it:
Are you questioning your musical life? Do you feel there’s no way you’ll ever shred faster, play cleaner, or write a good song?
Fear not, guitar friend. We all feel that way sometimes.
The truth is, self-doubt is completely normal, especially for musicians, and I believe it’s actually necessary to project us to the place we’re meant to arrive. If times never got tough, we’d never know what it felt like when things were going well. In fact, you should consider your feelings of uncertainty a sign that you’re destined to make great music. After all, if you didn’t really care about playing guitar, you wouldn’t hit these emotional walls of despair from time to time.
If self-doubt and lack of confidence weren’t factors, Kurt Cobain never would’ve inspired the grunge movement, Robert Johnson wouldn’t have had a reason to feel the blues, and countless other musicians would only have joy and happiness influencing their music, which aren’t always the right ingredients for creativity.
So should you just quit playing guitar? The answer is, irrevocably, NO.
-Tyler

>>74546738
should i quit if i only have joy and happiness influencing my music

>>74546760
Yes because then you will only make gay music.

reposting from last night help

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.

So the secret to jazz guitar is mindless noodling over scales?

is this jazz?

is bass fun?

>>74547554
Small enough that getting in a pic is difficult. It's not a uniform/straight crack so it will definitely become a chip with time.


Will they take the guitar with pick scuffs and shit? Otherwise still pristine.

I always laugh when I see some dumb shit buy a cheap guitar and immediately start "upgrading" it. They usually start by asking for replacement pickup suggestions. It's like why, you dumb fuck? Why did you buy a guitar you didn't think sounded good to begin with? I'll tell you why: because you don't know what the fuck you're doing and you have no clue what the fuck you're after. You bought some retarded piece of shit because of how it looked in a picture on the internet and then when you got it home and actually played it ..it sounded and played like straight up ass. So you started "upgrading" it instead of admitting to yourself that you don't know shit and made a mistake, or that the guitars construction was so shitty that you didn't have any other choice but to "upgrade" it to make it a playable instrument. Here's the thing though: you could have just saved all the time and money you sank/wasted into "upgrading" a piece of shit and just bought a decent guitar to begin with. You bedroom warriors are a hilarious lot, watching you flail about trying to polish turds into diamonds. If a diamond is what you wanted why didn't you just go out and buy a diamond to begin with?

Because you're fucking stupid, that's why.

>>74549069
pls, he's trolling

i spent half the price of my guitar on a refret as soon as i bought it and bought new pickups slightly cheaper

>>74548674
>lowest
Are there more than two forms of notation for guitar?

>>74548693
>carpal
Not necessarily. Could be Peripheral Neuropathy or a blood flow issue like Raynaud's Syndrome. In Classical, we always did stretches, shakes and pinches on both hands before playing. I don't do them these days but I'm not the one with tingling fingers. (I do have carpal, though.)

Sorry I just skipped around so I probably didn't notice.

Your legato is fucking garbage dude, and you need to know what you're gonna play before you play it. Just like have a vague idea of the note you're shooting for so that you can play it vaguely cleanly. Because three quarters of the notes you play are fantastic and the other quarter sound like fucking garbage.

Ok. So why did you want to hide the natural mahogony color? And what trade permits do you have. Youre just a poorfag trying to show off how he colored some chinese balsawood. Post the whole guitar or fuck off

>>74551668
Because that's the finish I wanted. The grain is obviously Honduran Mahogany to anyone that knows what it looks like. I doubt you've ever worked with wood at all

>carpal... tingling

You might be a fat neckbeard with pre-diabetes. Don't self-diagnose, go see a doctor.

Anyway, carpal for me is discomfort in the wrist and fingers getting stuck. A grain free diet has helped me a lot with these issues and more. I even had tingling, cold extremities and numbness.

We both know that you dont have honduran mahogany. Like i said chinese shitwood. Pic related.

Jcm900fag here. I think i may have found a way to upload through my phone. You guys wanna hear my dean or my strat? I already know the answer is none.

If I bought one of those cheap Kramer Baretta Specials and upgraded all the hardware with good quality components, would I get a very good/high end guitar?

>>74552292
Prolly not what one would consider high end but if you are happy with the end result then fuck it. I mean you cpuld be worse off and have an offset squier or a condor.

Good pedalboard/roadcase for heavy gigging/touring?

I have one of the rondo music ones and it's aight but it's flimsy as shit and bends/cracks/etc when people stomp or fall on it.

Lol I've never seen anyone make a guitar from meranti. I don't even think they sell body blanks large enough to make one. While Honduran and African Mahogany blanks are easily available and cheap. Why would anyone go through the trouble of finding a large enough piece of a wood that's not used in luthiery.

You're that flooring autist aren't you? Like I said,stick to what you know. Pic related same wood, same finish. Only reason I'm even responding to you is so you know you're a dumb shit.

>>74552220

You need to stretch your both hands on regular basis. If your left hand hurts while playing it's due to bad form, both how you sit and how you hold guitar. And you are pressing frets too hard. Pressing too hard might be because you don't have enough strength in the first place though...

>>74553869
He sounds better than you do Samuel.

You both fucking suck so it's like being the smartest kid in special ed. You both need to learn how not fucking suck at hammer ons pull offs and legato.

Not Samuel: Learn to play on beat.
Samuel: Fucking play shit cleanly
Not Samuel: Stop recording on the butt plug inside your anus.
Samuel: Learn to play on beat too.
Not Samuel: Holding a note for too long because you don't know what to play next isn't a great strategy, it sounds fucking weird.
Samuel: Playing without knowing what you're gonna play next will lead you towards ugly sounding errors that are hard to recover from.

You guys might not enjoy PG but he's got some really good tips on picking cleanly, playing legato cleanly, and following rhythm which would make both of you sound even better:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7GhMR5aIKs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4c0Bt9KmFQ

You don't have to treat what he says as the gospel but it's helpful, and it's good to think about the mechanics of your playing in a critical manner.

>>74554627
Who you talking to?

>>74553884
good luck anon we can do this. When we get to 30 we'll be playing for 3 years and we'll be less shit

>>74554678
Thanks for the feedback. But call me jcm900fag. And i recorded it thru my phone. And it was a warmup improv. When i get my pc ill lay down a track with some effort in it. What i recorded i cpuld do in my sleep.

>>74554660
i should have added that i believe it would be beneficial to use a lower pitch to help with learning to sing along with what i'm playing. I can't really hit high notes and I'm just starting so the lower pitch guitar would go better with my voice.

>>74554735

Wow, you're really salty. I'm sorry you haven't put in the hours necessary to be good yet. I'm sorry you think people want to listen to the lame fucking tracks that you shill on repeat here everyday. PG is clearly a better guitarist than you, and unlike you he knows how to fucking play a couple notes with out sounding like total fucking garbage. I don't recall saying to do anything with your pick in particular other than not being as fucking terrible as you have come to show us is your normal state in terms of playing.

Have you considered working on your reading comprehension skills too? You clearly don't have very good english skills either.

>>74554735
To be fair it's really hard to have an objective opinion on playing ability via a phone recording. Either way you still sound better than Fag-uel "crybaby" Shitpost.

>>74554888
It makes forming chords and multitasking with the harmonica easier. Its the lazy mans way to play. I think that guy from rolling stones did some shit like that.

>>74554923
Yeah, I have small hands so it's my preference. I feel like you can do a lot more with the melody if you don't have to worry about shaping the harmony. Of course, that means you're usually restricted to a basic I-IV-V progression, but most of what I play is usually centered around that anyways. Plus it's what Fahey and a bunch of old bluesmen preferred (along with spanish tuning).

>>74555147
By not playing cleanly I'm referring to you not fucking fully fretting notes before you play them or not playing legato with enough force to properly form notes you're attempting to play you fucking idiot. You play a noticeable amount of shit notes because you don't practice good technique and we all can hear it because you beat us over the head with your god awful recordings every /gg/ posting.

i figured the melody that i hummed uses the relative major of the harmonic minor

unless you listen to good guitar players. but good horn players will just have a different way of playing. the way the fretboard is laid out makes for certain patterns. horn players play more "linearly". i'm not sure how to describe it
