I have been working on this song... It's basically E-D-G-A structure with progressive filaments in between. I have tempo changes so that verse is 120 bpm but chorus goes to 180 bpm and then drops to 60 bpm while I solo some crazy stuff.

You cant afford 1 6l6 sam? Anyways now i see. Whats the loudest you habe pushed it.

>>74577118
Doesn't need to be HSH to be a superstrat. And if the middle pickup doesn't get in the way of your picking then you're a certified prissy ninny who needs to learn how to pick with power like a real man

Why are 95% of guitar and gear demos blues-rock licks? Shit is trash.

I currently have a MIM Telecaster and a digital modeling combo amp. Should I be prioritizing getting a more expensive guitar or amp?

I really want an American Strat but as of recently I really want to get a Fractal AX8 and an FRFR cab.

I don't get why people say he isn't good because he plays fast... If he plays fast i'm pretty certain he could play anything the slower guitarists you love play, i'd also bet that those guitarists couldn't play most of Yngwie's songs. So if anything he is a fantastic guitar player, you'd have to be retarded to say he isn't. Yes you may not like his style or his sound, but calling him a bad guitarist is stupid... Especially when many professional guitarists praise him, and I think they'd know a thing or two about guitar. As for saying he lacks feeling? The guy has been playing guitar for 40 years or more, plus he was in a car crash and basically had to learn how to use one of his hands entirely from scratch... How you can sit there and say someone who has spent their entire life playing guitar 'has no feeling' is beyond me. He clearly loves music otherwise he would've settled down years ago.

string skipping finally broke me out of the dreaded box shape routine

Anybody else good at all the shred gimmicks besides fast alternate picking? Sweeping, tapping, and legato are all pretty easy. Syncing your hands for clean alternate picked runs is way fucking harder to get clean and I've been too lazy to break it down and learn it properly

What is a decent pedal for primarily death metal music? I play a lot of single note riffs, double picked stuff and leads so I'm not looking for something super chunky. Most of the youtube comparisons I've watched have been nonstop chugging "riffs" and haven't helped much.

>>74578543
Pedal train is shit and expensive. It's entirely too easy for people to fall/step on because it's just a bare board, and then suddenly I have fuckin UFOs flying around the room during a 90 second hardcore song because some idiot fucked up the tap tempo on my RE-20 and faceplanted on my flanger.

Nice! I didn't expect this kind of quality from /gg/ at all. How or where did you get the backing track?

>>74581252
Just get demo of Amplitube or Bias FX and play with those unless you play in band. Then, you'll need a rack mounted fx processor and 2 stacks of Marshalls anyway.

>>74581252
You want good amp distortion for metal, an OD pedal is secondary to just slightly tighten it up a bit

>>74581286
Thanks. I recorded it and programmed the drums

>>74581252
Just get an amp with a solid gain sound. Get a 5150, you can usually find them pretty cheap on ebay. Or a 6505MH if you're strapped for cash.

>>74581252
I like anything that tries to sound like a plexi: Friedman BE-OD, Mad Professor 1, Wampler Pinnacle, pedals of that nature.

>>74581303
This is something what I would love to do as well. But I have immense problems matching the tempo to original track. I was doing tests with Megadeth's Holy Wars and the tempo is 167bpm more or so, the click track matches for the first part of the song. But after few bars the click track starts to drift. And the song is 4/4 time for sure. I don't know if they have edited the song in studio or what the hell is going on but I have huge trouble with that song. Or is the drummer just fucking it up? Also need to remember the original song was still recorded on analog tape and only edited in protools as that was early 90s.

>>74581280
Post UFO shred.

>>74581356
People didn't record to click tracks very often back in the day, so there's natural ebb and flow in the tempo. For tracking covers on old songs, just take an estimate of the bpm and stick with it. Or if you're especially anal about it you can listen to the original track while tapping out a tempo map in your DAW, that way your midi drums will line up more true to the original. I wouldn't waste effort on that though

>>74581296
>>74581303
>>74581316
>>74581331
Thanks. I actually have a Mesa Single Rectifier so I might try out an OD pedal on it and see how it sounds.

>>74581402
On high tempo song like that it's bit of a pain in the ass to create a tempo map. But I think I'll probably just stick with the estimation. Because everything what I do is shit anyway. And besides I think that band's next album, Countdown to Extinction was their first fully digitally recorded album, might do a test just out of curiosity to see if I can do a quick match for some of the songs on that album easier.

>>74581475
Rectifier should be good enough. Tube screamer or similar and then bit of EQ to the end to scoop out mids and stuff like that.

>>74581130
If you really wanted to do it, you wouldn't be asking about it would you.

It depends of your natural incline. Some people have better built-in quality control and you might be pretty well off after a year. For some other people one year doesn't get them anywhere and they are still sloppy and all. But generally learning guitar is a lifelong process and you can't never ask 'are we there yet' because there's always something to learn.

what the fuck even is scooped mids

i had my mid at 10

>>74581654
It's a technical term not suitable for you or for your shitty gear.

>>74581654
scooping is where you turn it to 0. Guitar is a mid range instrument so scooping the mids means you don't cut through the mix very well as your treble blends with the cymbals and snare of a drum kit and your bass will blend with the bass guitar bass drum etc.

aka its a retarded buzzword used by morons who want to sound knowledgeable about guitars

Stupid question but here it goes:

I'm looking to buy a metronome, what do you guys recommend?
I'm thinking something electronic that has a tapping function and some visual ques or something.

I know this is a stupidish question, but sometimes a little more money can get you a much better product. Like when I bought a Boss TU-01 tuner compared to a cheapo one, it was just faster and much more accurate.

how difficult is it to apply an opaque finish to a bass?

Did any of you guys learn to read sheet music on guitar?
If you did how did you do it? what resources did you use?

>>74585865
no

>>74585865
by going to music class in 4th grade

>>74585884
okay not helpful but Im interested so if anyone did
>>74585913

>>74585925
>i'm lucky for attending school
what 3rd world region do you live in?

>>74585935
No lucky that your school system taught guitar and reading sheet music. I attended school. just in the bumfuck south

https://youtu.be/7doBMyEH_Ug

>>74585971
not guitar, just reading music. it's like 3rd grade shit man, i guess that's >southern edumacation for yeah kek

i'm just starting off with almost no experience and i wanna play stuff like algernon cadwallader and ttng, how long until i get there?

>>74586110
you're for it

>>74586054
oh no I know how to read music, I played clarinet for 3 years, and grew up with a piano and played recorder as a elementary schooler
I was referring to the act of being able to read sheet music and play it on the guitar

>>74586117
just git gud

>>74586122
>:( Im trying
ive literally learned the notes on the fretboard and am figuring out scale and chord construction but I still can't seem to be able to read properly in a good manor. I guess practice helps but im asking anons in this thread if there is any books that are good for that sort of thing or online resources

september 23 beware

>>74586099
Practice triads and you'll play like that in a few years.

>>74585865
with a teacher, but i still remember how i do it.

Its as easy and non misterious as its slow.

First understand rythm

then know which note is each in the pentagram.

start doing sheet music which has finger indication so you dont get lost on the fretboard

once you did a bout a million start doing them without the note indication

at first you will have to read note per note and one staff will take a billion years, keep at it and it will get easier

try to memorize chord shapes

>>74586219
>in the pentagram

>>74586219
but i can barely read tabs

>>74586262
well the two are kinda unrelated. it's much easier to learn tabs.

Why do you want to learn to read sheet music? because you've seen it in a movie and want to look cool? try to learn your fucking instrument first before doing random shit

brotip, for the first years do mostly shit that feels fun

>>74586262
ok thats not me,
>>74586286
and yeah ive been playing for two and a half years and I can read tabs easily, I've just broken out of fun stuff like ive said >>74586161

learning by ear is more intuitive now

My high e string sounds dead from the 12th fret up.

What repair does it need?

>>74586540
yes

/gg/ please HELP.
I want to get better with guitar, I don't mind practicing (I don't have much time either). I have books, I have links, what I don't have is a fuckin way to walk and get somewhere. so I make a routine, it doesn't work.
another one. too much scales.
another one. too much technique, too little "music"
it never gets funnier and practicing is like a punishment.

what the fuck do I do!!

i always avoided power chords because i saw them as the "easy" way to do things, so instead i would play a bar chord
it was more of a vain thing than trying to make it sound better

but now i and understand that a bar chord is just as easy as a power chord

but i dont know what a power chord benefits over a bar chord?
like.. what are the actual differences and when would i use either of them?

>>74587471
not bait man, I mean it, I'm fuckin lost.
I looked at suggested routine on the OP, but I must be retarded and I need specific exercises.
maybe I should post "where I am" now for people who wants to help.
-I know the minor pentatonic patterns and I'm working with the natural minor first 3 patterns.
-trying to get a good palm mute. I get My shoulder too stiff when I try to play fast.
-Trying to bend properly
I don't know, if anyone need more info please ask

>>74585348
>worthless
yes

>>74587488
power chord is neither major nor minor so it can fit anywhere without being wrong

>>74587533
learn a load of licks
try and understand why they work and make some of your own
just play the guitar lol

>>74587577
about theory: I know about the major scale, the minor scale, how to make major, minor, augmented and dim chords. and chords with added 7

>>74587605
just play the guitar lol
you're asking how to get good technique but you dont want to play the guitar
fuck theory that wont help your bending

>>74587651
it helps you understanding.
I want to play, but I don't know what more to do. I just play exercises. Scales, bendings, powerchords... over and over again.

>>74587701
learn a song

>>74587651
>fuck theory that wont help your bending
to play pop music you dont NEED to know theory but it helps.

To play jazz or classical you NEED to know theory.

To play any kind of music you NEED to practice a lot

>>74587752
annotated. Will look at some ramones songs to start from the bottom. I'll gladly sart with some thrash but I won't be ablu to play it and it will only lead to frustration.

anything more?

>>74587818
start with simple shit, dont be a retard

>>74588234
my dude, Ramones is all power chords. I can handle that.
I would get some thrash song as I said, but I wouldn't be able to handle the speed, nor the solos

>There are no rules. I think it's funny when people take all these music theory classes, it's exactly that. It's theory. You have 12 fucking notes, the 13th one is the octave, do whatever you want with them. It's really that simple. There are no mistakes - EVH

the octaves or the pivots?

>>74589815
the individual string adjuster things, idk what they're called lemme look

>>74589815
yeah not the trem pivots, i think ima hard tail it, where should the octaves be resting, my buddy said 12th fret and harmonic should be the same note is that right?

>>74589840

your friend is right. basically, loose string and 12th fret has to sound the same. to adjust it use a philips screwdriver.

>>74589297
Creativity is one thing. Its harder to be creative than learning and using the shit out of a book.I feel you need to know the rules to brake them, even if its the bare minimum of musical structure.

>>74588671

all i see is the same shape of notes with a half dozen retarded names
but then again my musical theory knowledge is far beyond this pleb shit

Freak of nature, basically. I can barely wrap my head around it. It's like basic rules of physics didn't apply to him. Besides being less musically interesting than Shawn, other shred beasts seem so easily understandable. Pattern here, pattern there, speed up, speed down; even when they're doing crazy stuff nobody else can do, what they're doing still makes perfect sense.

But with Shawn... I seriously don't know what the fuck is going on half the time.

help learning music theory efficiently? i play bass. thanks

>>74590026
fag what if you've already subconsciously internalized the rules by listening to and playing music all your life

>>74591879
what if i didnt listen much to music before i started playing. people who never touched an instrument have a better sense and ear than i do

>>74589297
>EVH
Guitar Gods always say this kind of bullshit. Ask Yngwie how to get speedy and he'll tell you to play with your ears. He won't mention the stock of chunks he has at the ready. Ask Eddie how to get that brown sound and you'll fuck up your amp following his advice. (Both of these things happened.)

and I have so what do I need theory for?
answer: I don't

>hendrix didn't know theory

>>74592120
this

Just learn the 12 notes and how keys work. At least the pentatonic minor scale. You'll be fine.

>>74591523
>wank as well as Shawn Lane

Fixed. Who could listen to that crass shit without getting bored?

>>74592181
>Someone who's never actually listened to Shawn Lane

>>74592152
Looks like my grandparent's shower curtains.

>>74592223
I did just listen to him. It's like really fast elevator Muzak.

>>74592120

Not necessarily true. Hendrix knew what key he was playing in, knew at least major and minor pentatonic scales in multiple positions, obviously understood rhythm and time signatures since many of his songs played with time signatures. Music theory is a very broad subject and virtually no one knows it all.

>>74591943
>Ask Eddie how to get that brown sound and you'll fuck up your amp following his advice.

Actually this is wrong, all EVH did to any of his amps was use a variac to lower the voltage going into his Marshalls and he had a crude effects loop device installed between his preamp and power amp.

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

This thing sounds like shit

>>74592086
Not the original guy, but what's wrong with theory? Are you telling me that you don't know the scale degrees for the notes in a major chord? If you do, that's theory. I'm intrigued. Please post a clyp.it of your randomly fingered chords and chromatic melodies. There are no mistakes, right?

stop replying to roman's anti theory shtick you retards

does carpal syndrome manifest when one rotates the arm

>>74588789
You shouldn't unless you're a guitar expert
There is also a chance that there's nothing wrong with your intonation but you're simply new and tone deaf

What is it called when you bend and then slide while at the top of the bend? It makes this gay alien noise. Has anyone ever used it in a way that wasn't shit?

If you cannot follow along, please STFU. We are talking about what Eddie said he did in print, as opposed to what he actually did. You can look up the following on your own:

>They said, “Please don’t attempt what Eddie Van Halen said in the last interview, because everyone was blowing their amps.”
