I just got a duosonic. It's my first electric guitar I didn't make myself. Really in love with it. Love the coil tap.

Wishing I could buy this Epiphone prophecy off of my brother because I know he'll never use it. Just need to change the pickups. Literally the most comfortable guitar I've ever held.

>>39524961
I know that feel. I keep saying im busy with school and I can't find time to play and then I just dick around doing something else

I've always liked that shade of blue. I play a Squier Strat and I swapped in a Hot Rails into the bridge. I've been playing for a little over a year now I think I'm okay at it.

Pretty fucking guitar OP. I have a Samick strat that I picked up spontaneously in Pittsburgh four years back, but I never got into it

I've burned through two guitars because my rhythmic playing style I made up in 2012 is aggressive as shit. My current baby is this beautiful $700 Taylor grand auditorium that I make sound like a brass instrument, a bass guitar, an acoustic guitar and a drum all at the same time...but that shit comes at a cost. Electric components inside haven't been demolished yet like with my last Lucero (classical spanish guitar build), but my style has been boring a hole into the body literally since the first day I tried it out in the store. The guys there told me to go for a carbon fiber build for double the price that I kind of regret...but who knows if the inner electrical components would've held up

Shit's covered in wood shavings literally all the time. Hoping she holds out until I drop a grand or plus on a premium martin or taylor or whatever in the next year or two

I used to cut myself on it but your fingers get stronger. Currently recovering from a deep, deep fucking cut I just put into the callous I strum/do the downbeat with on my right thumb. Worst kind of injury. No blood, just a hole in my damn hand

Switching up from Nylon to Steel was fucking amazing tho, tuning Nylon is like defusing a bomb lol

I got my hands on a beautiful 1982 fender strat a few months ago and havent put it down since.
Its a 1969 re-issue but ive sorted the arch on the neck so i can actually bend the damn strings without em deadening

A second hand black Squire Strat from 91'. It has horrible intonation and has a fret wire sticking out. It was my first electric and I've gotten so used to it that I can't play anything else. I've kind of bonded with it.

One XLR microphone. One guitar.
What audio interface should I buy for this setup?

Mostly self taught and it shows, I can improvise using a pentatonic or major scale but I don't know much about theory, I only know shapes on a fret board.
Should probably take myself out of my comfort zone, any recommendations? Should I try recording or writing music?

Should I buy groceries or a good amp?

I used to play this. I was borrowing an amp though and the dude asked for it back at the start of the summer. Kind of thinking of buying an amp for myself but not sure if I should just buy an acoustic bass instead since I don't play with other people anymore.

Ibanez RG 120 I've had since I was 14 (23 now). I'm okay. Competent, I suppose. Mostly play death and thrash metal. Death, Coroner, Metallica, whatever random band has a song I like.

I just started playing guitar and i literally fucking hate playing with a pick, is it necessary or is it just a meme?

>Yamaha BB series basses

Was trying to get one of these recently, but it seems they sold out and haven't manufactured any more. Yamaha always punch above their weight.

>>39530969
It's a stylistic choice. Picks are considered more suitable for certain genres. If you're playing djent for instance, you almost certainly should use a pick. On the other end of the spectrum, classic rock might be more suited to using your fingers. At the end of the day, just go with whatever sounds better to you. I myself prefer fingers 95% of the time, I only take out my pick when I'm playing something that has little dynamic change.

>>39531445
>If you're playing djent for instance, you almost certainly should use a pick

Don't forget the giant, ass stretching dildo you need firmly jammed into your sphincter at all times to truly master the djent.

>>39531486
> he doesn't have a djentplug

>>39530969
Depends. You'll eventually get when to use it or not, but you should learn how to play with a pick at some point. It's standard in most genres and for a good reason.

self taughty here, considering proper lessons. Should I buy an 8 string and do lessons? I really like the idea of a huge range do play with, or do I save those 600 ausdollars and put them into lessons instead?

current skill level is below average I'd say. oh anmd the used 8 string im looking at is a schecter hellraiser c-8, $600

>>39531629
Huge chance no matter what teacher you go to, they'll be teaching in E standard. So it's kind of useless to get an 8-string for the purpose of taking lessons unless you already know some 8-string guy who's down to teach. Anyway, you'd be better off getting good with 6 strings and then expanding in a couple years if you still want to

Gibson finally started making Les Paul's without pickup rings. I really like the new colours too. Not sure how I feel about the fade disappearing on the bottom of the guitar.

For once they're offering more interesting colours than Ibanez.

>>39533596
I started playing the guitar after playing piano for 7-8 years. Took me like a half a year for the basics and about 2 more years to get good. And then 4 years of not practicing to be shit again

Third world poorfag here. I've learned to play on a crappy acoustic I borrowed from my cousin. I've saved up some money and am gonna buy me a nice budget guitar in a few months. Was setting my sights on a Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster, because I can't spend much more than ~400 bucks, but would you recommend me something else? I also can't just go into a local shop and play something myself before choosing - all they have is either shitty Chinese copies or American models for rich kids, with no inbetween.

>>39533745
the only squier I've played on was pretty bad, but putting in active pickups improves them a million fold though, right?

>>39533596
I also started with piano and saxophone. You pretty much have two advantages - you don't have to worry about learning about melody and rhythm and all that basic shit, and your fretting hand is already used to moving with finger independence and dexterity. Overall the motions are still pretty foreign and how quickly you get good all depends on how much practice you're willing to put in like with anything else

>get kicked out of band a year ago for being an autist and unmotivated faggot>eventually get my shit together and join new band a couple weeks ago
feels good

>>39533920
>long time bandmate was being an unmotivated, unreliable faggot for many months
>had to kick him out even though we wish we didn't have to
>we know he's capable of really good shit, he just isn't living up to his potential for us
>tfw he'll probably thrive in another band in the future
Feels bad man. I wish people would just do the things they're supposed to do. Band drama feels too much like dumb relationship shit a lot of the time

Playing a Fleabass, dreaming of an FGN, desu.

Don't buy an acoustic, the sound on them is trash. Buy a cheapish amp, at least 50W if you can.

>>39524834
everyone here is a massive faggot
trumpet is the best instrument
prove me wrong

>>39534632
>50W
I've got 20W and I still think that's too much for just practicing at home alone

>>39535012
50W peak, 20W RMS is pretty loud and very few manufacturers, especially cheaper ones go by RMS anymore.

>>39535012
Ive got 20W too, and literally cant go above 4 on volume.

I was thinking that Vox would make a good travel guitar. It's bigger than it looks though, seeing Tom Petty play it.

>>39532858
Currently, it's the self-promo spam and constant shitposting that I can do without.

>>39525145
Fender made one like that in the 60s-70s, the Duo Sonic II.

>>39535946

Orginally gorgeousss.

>>39535951

Get a Blackface Twin Reverb and never fuck with amps again.

Hey guys, I've been thinking of buying a guitar and start learning how to play. Where is the best place to buy or get informed about guitars?

This shits for fags
SMOKE WEED BROOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>39533745
Not them but I have a Squire that I only use for practice. Heavy gauge strings and higher action so I can increase my strength. I was trying to go for the SRV feel

>>39541048
Buy one from ebay and collect it, older the better when it comes to guitars imo, al the new ones are shit made in China from plywood - if you're talking about low end for beginners anyway

>>39541404
Not him but as a eurofag I've seen harley benton from thomann and everybody is saying they are hella good for their price so should I pull the trigger ?

>>39541970
Never heard of them but it looks better than the Squire shit

>bought an LTD MH whatever number for 300 bucks last year
>Got decent enough at playing riffs and rhythm sections of king diamond songs that I like

Got unmotivated eventually though. My wife can play whatever she wants on piano, guitar or flute just by looking at the music. I struggle with tabs.

I think to myself oh, maybe if I got a nicer guitar. But hers is a 100 dollar epifone acoustic

>>39542365
I can play easily while looking at the music sheet but I can't read tab for shit anon.
Stay strong

steins;gate, the visual novel i guess

>>39524987
Oldbot here, I collected 1950s Duos back when they were cheap and I was employed. GREAT guitars. The Mexican made ones from the 90s are very good with a pickup upgrade. The Classic Vibe Duo is excellent for the price.

>>39535946
Nice Custom you got there. I bought a few back when I was earning money - the one I usually go for is a `98 whale blue Hollowbody II. Someday I'll install a Varitone and wire it for stereo output, like an old ES-345.
