Speaking of gearspammer, what ever happened to froosh?
First for nobody ever does this shit
Because I posted so late to the previous thread.
Also got late in the last thread.
A few hours ago I posted a demo I made with a friend about the Mad Professor Amber Overdrive I got this week. Pretty wild thing, really. It's a mix of overdrive and fuzz and it's as gnarly as it gets.
My bud is probably going to keep it but I'd be seriously tempted to replace my EQD Hoof with it otherwise.

>>60383915
i'm shit at guitar but i'd like to contribute, why don't you post a tab?
Or join the /gg/ game, which nobody ever participates (except for me, who has recorded over 20 riffs now).
The /gg/ game:
- Record a short riff cover from a band that can be recognized. If you don't have an interface, mic or way to record with high quality, just use your phone. How well known is the riff and your performance will dictate the level of difficulty but try to make it possible to guess and avoid that sweet riff your cousin Mose recorded in 1984;
- Post it to clyp.it and/or vocaroo without giving anything away;
- Others try to guess the band and song name;
>>60383952
Because posting a chord progression would give people more to work with but whatever give me 5 minutes and I'll post something.

nice! its basically just Bminor, Dsus2 and Dadd9add11
why did metal and "shred" become so uncool like 5 years ago. I remember metalcore and prog metal used to be crazy popular but now it seems nobody wants anything to do with guitar outside of indie hipster stuff and da blooz
>>60384100

stopped being "cool" back in like 94 when grunge came to prominence and wanking became irrelevant.

So you don't know how to play? At least blooz rockaz and dadrock fedoras know a few chords.
This is how you write a single line melody.

Do you live in some bumfuck flyover state? WTF is a "christian rocker" and where do you live that these people congregate.
Is there a better guitar player than Jandek?
Anybody know what kind of guitar is in the OP? Or can anyone name any guitars with a similar body?

I actually like his demos, best way to find out about interesting pedals.
>>60383866
>>60383952
Chords are:
>Gmaj7 - G6 - Gmaj7 - Gmaj13
then
>Cmaj7 - Cmaj9 - Cmaj7 - Cmaj13
then
>Gmaj7 - G6 - Gmaj7 - Gmaj13
then
>D7 - D7/A - D7/Ab
My thing is probably shit too.
>>60384319
It's a Jazzmaster. Most offsets will get you there.
>>60384432
Why the fuck did it flip like that.
Whatever the chords should be enough and I don't expect anyone to do it anyways
I'm Thinking about buying an Ibanez RG Prestige. How do the RG 655, 2550Z and SV5470 compare? I've heard that the Edge-Zero bridges aren't quite as good as the others.

Only people that are underage would know and like those bands.

>>60384170
Some autist that started out posting pics of his pedals and guitars over and over and over again in EVERY thread. He did the same thing with his stereo equipment and headphones on other boards. Same pictures over and over. Then he started making demos of his pedals and posting them over and over again.
This went on for like three years and finally the Mods started to autoban him. He's actually pretty knowledgeable/nice guy when he's just chatting but..

He played bass and piano.
Most Beach Boys instrumentation is session musicians, anyway, why him?
>>60384488
I think the people who liked those bands arent underaged anymore...
>>60384536
I used to like PG a whole lot, moved on to fusion because it's less generic.

You have more freedom as a guitarist in Jazz/Fusion and it's related subgenres than any other genre.
>>60384616
he was a great musician but pretty basic guitar player. thats usually how it goes, the more proficient a player the less artistic and musical.
>>60384660
>freedom
>subgenres
lol wut
>>60384633
Most well known JF guitarists have instantly recognizable styles and sounds though. Most shred guys sound more or less the same unless you're an enthusiast. Anyone, however, can tell Al Di Meola and Allan Holdsworth are two completely different people.
>>60384688
You must have a bad ear to think Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, John Petrucci, and Paul Gilbert all sound the same. I'm not even into shred, but each of these guys is pretty distinct.
>>60384688

yeah, not one can write a good melody.
>>60384727
*unless you're an enthusiast
Steve Vai and EJ aside, most people probably can't tell the last 4 apart.
>>60384727
the best thing to come out of that list is David Lee Roth
>>60384748
You must be trolling. Seriously, you must be one of those guys who can't do it so you shit on it. I didn't want to pull that card but here we are.
>>60384673
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_jazz_genres
Also in Jazz/Fusion you can pretty much get away with anything while in rock/metal/shred you are usually limited to muh lydian shapes.
Jazz/Fusion takes advantages of various different scales and their related modes. Find me a shred guitarist who utilities Dorian b2 or Dorian #4 and I'll be thoroughly impressed.
>>60384775
hell even Joe Pass couldn't write an interesting melody of his own. made his name playing standards.

you mean sucking, then yeah they sure get away with it.
>>60384798

It's almost like that's what jazz is.

>still cant do the slidey part in the Iron Man riff
How can you do that without slicing your fingers open/keeping the pinky and ring finger together? Should I put lube on my strings?
>>60384905
most guys use superglue on there fingertips. tony iommi used little velvety covers on his fingers.
>>60384905
How often do you change strings? Try a lubricant like GHS Fast Fret.
>>60384905
Keep learning stuff and you'll get calluses. If not, then do >>60384924
>>60384905
Yeah, i use superglue too. Here's a pic of Iommi.
>>60384942
I'm using a guitar I got 12-13 years ago. It hasn't gotten much use but does that still warrant getting new strings?
>>60384905
Don't worry about technique just play from the SOUL
>>60384958
You know he sliced part of his fingers off in a work-related accident? He needs that for a legit reason. If you have ordinary fingers my advice is to not be a pussy.
>>60384798
bait
>>60384905
You just have to do it and your fingers will toughen up. Don't fuck your shit up though.
I've been playing 8 years and I still don't like doing slides on anything but the wound strings because I rarely change my strings and sliding on a rusty string is no fun.
>>60384924
>>60384958
Those aren't velvet, they're prosthetics because he got his finger tips chopped off in a factory accident.
>>60384975
Strings are good until they break. Try superglue.
>>60384975
Yes. It's usually good to change strings frequently, usually anywhere from two weeks to two months depending on use.
>>60384993
name one good joe pass original then.
>>60384790
>Find me a shred guitarist who utilities Dorian b2 or Dorian #4 and I'll be thoroughly impressed.
To be fair, that's just Melodic Minor and Harmonic Minor. I'm sure there's a few who know melodic, and I know for a fact Yngwie Malmsteen uses Harmonic Minor.
>>60384905
Please dont put superglue on your fingertips. You put in on the strings. Come on guys quit fucking with him.
>>60385020
What kind of strings should I get? I can only play Iron man and back in black so far so I guess that's the sound I'm going for.
anyone know where you can buy guitar/bass cabinets without the speakers? i have two 410's and want to transplant the speakers to a 610 cabinet for easier set ups at shows and practice.
>>60385050
Cryo treated strings are the best.
>>60385050
Rock guitarists usually gets 9s or 10s. Lighter gauge strings are easier for bends. If you want jazz or SRV go higher, but you don't.
>>60385050
the kind of strings that fit your guitar. They all sound the same anyways.
>>60385050
You need to get strings designed for distortion if you want those type of sounds.
>>60385030
>To be fair, that's just Melodic Minor and Harmonic Minor.
Not really. They are different modes just like how Dorian and Lydian are different modes of the Major Scale.
>>60385120
this. just go into guitar center and ask for distortion strings.
>>60385121
all the notes are the same.
where's the anon that builds cabs, i have a commision for him potentially if he's interested.
>>60384313
Not really. There are guys who play outside but not all the time like Jandek.
>>60385154
quit trolling this dude and help him.
some good cheap strings are Ernie Ball strings, they come in different styles and things, i'd go with regular slinkys in your case.
>>60385183
>play outside
wut
>>60385206
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outside_(jazz)
>>60385183
What about Sonny Sharrock?
>>60385154
>all the notes are the same.
G major and E minor have the same notes but they sound completely different
What's your point?
>>60385206
The skinny of playing Outside is playing the "Wrong" notes over a chord progression. Like Gb Major Pentatonic over a C Major chord progression.
>>60385266
Sure he played outside.
>>60384523
WTF are you talking about? Fix the links if they are dead.
>>60385293
No I mean is he a better guitar player than Jandek?
>>60385290
>G major and E minor have the same notes but they sound completely different
all the modes of G sound the same to me, what gives any of them their sound is what note you focus on.
>>60385316
Better at what? They are pretty disparate styles with Sharrock being more of a Jazz guy while Jandek is pretty much blues.
>>60385316
Who the fuck is Jandek? Eric Clapton is the best blues player.
>>60385329
>what gives any of them their sound is what note you focus on.
That's exactly what modes are you dip
>>60385367
>what gives any of them their sound
faggot doesn't know what an amplifier does
kek
>>60385329
I find emphasizing the intervals that give modes their tonality, like the minor second in Phrygian, while soloing over changes is what enables me to hear the characteristics of each mode.
People mistakenly compare modes that consist of the same notes, like G Ionian and A Dorian, but I find it makes more sense to play modes that share the same tonic in descending order of brightness. Go from G Ionian to G Mixolydian to G Dorian and so on. Richard Lloyd talked about this in his old GW column.
>>60385360
Not acknowledging Kenny Wayne Shepard.
please
>>60385367
yeah so? All the modes overlap each other anyways, playing one "mode shape" is for squares. like if you play G major and then when you reach the octave play one note more, you're "in" A dorian, but really you're just playing the 2nd of G major one octave higher.

Nah, we just string together a dozen pedals to hide the fact that we can only manage some power chords and a couple arpeggios here and there. We play with SOUL around here.
>>60385754
Can you let me know what key its in?
K thanks
>>60384579
I love playing funk bass lines.
Cosmic Slop is an ostinato pattern, but still cool as hell.
Soul Power 74 by Maceo and the Macks is nice and fun too, a good-sounding way to keep the timing and technique tight, and yet it's not too demanding of the left hand
And of course there's Sex Machine.
One of these days I'll get my guitar technique together enough to learn the guitar part to Cosmic Slop. I really do love that crazy little song more than I should, and the guitar solos of some of the live versions are completely insane.

Literally any way you want. Just move your hands randomly.
>>60385937
Stuff like that is over the head of /gg/ I'm pretty sure he's just free improvising.
>>60386186
This. Check out Derek Bailey and Fred Firth videos and just try to do what they do?
I've recently been getting into making my own alternate tunings. Is anyone into alternate tunings? What tuning to you like to use/have created? I'm interested in what is being used by some people here.
>>60386206

>>60386234
I know who Derek Bailey is you faggot.
>>60386052
i did google it, but nothing for 610s. or else i wouldnt be asking.
>>60385937
You can see that he's classically trained. Find you way down to the Royal Conservatory ando inquire about lessons.
>>60386234
>>60385937
Does Free Improv always mean "Play random notes and pass it off as good" or are there people who actually play music?
>>60386285
Why doesn't he sound like he's just playing scales and modes like everyone else?
best / most versatile delay for $150 ????
>>60386234
This guys obviously mastered the guitar. Good luck playing like him.
>>60386301
yeah, how are they able to do that? when i just hit random stuff it sounds like shit but these guys actually sound like they know what they are doing.
>>60386370
Muh avant-garde
>>60386315
Because he isn't just playing scales and modes?
>>60386269
are you retarded? there are alot of cab builders. jeesh. fuckin bass players
does anyone here use a drum machine? I've been thinking about getting one to practice with. Are there software substitutes that are just as good that i could download somewhere? Would prefer a drum machine that allows me to drastically alter the tone of the drums. Does anyone have any recs?
is it possible to run a drum machine through the same cabinet that i'm playing my bass guitar out of? and if i wanted to record it would i be able to plug it right into my pc or should i just download some software at that point?(yes i am really new to this stuff).
>>60386423
Ok. So how do I learn to play like that?
>>60386315
>>60386423
I don't think he's even really playing anything at all.
All I hear is WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
>>60386473
Get pedals and turn you amp up loud so you get feedback then hit the open strings over and over.
>>60386423
literally this
if you want to learn h ow to play scales and chords and shit thats fine cool whatever you do you man
BUT
all those people youre listening to for inspiration or whtever? theyre not playing scales and chords. theyre playing the guitar
all you scale fags who learn "modes" and then despair because you cant write music are in despair because you cant write a sick fucking track with a list of locker combinations
>>60386394
fuck you crunchy distortion faggot muh freebird
fucking faggot
does anyone here use a drum machine? I've been thinking about getting one to practice with. Are there software substitutes that are just as good that i could download somewhere? Would prefer a drum machine that allows me to drastically alter the tone of the drums. Does anyone have any recs?
>>60386473
easy. learn theory, disregard all the theory you learned and only play with sounds and textures.
>>60386499
This is a pretty good post desu. While knowing scales is important you have to be able to improv and break rules to write good music.
>>60386071
It a type of pedal. It records what you're playing and then LOOPS it over and over so you can play over it, for example.
>>60386472
i have had an alesis sr 16 for a few months. it was like $150 when i got it but i think the price has gone up. it isn't a tonal alchemistry kit but its fucking awesome for what it is
>>60386486
>WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
yeah thats awesome, how do I do that/
>>60386567
thanks for noticing me saipan :^)
>>60386623
shit senpai wtf did i type
>>60384313
I've never heard anybody play like him.
>>60385550
Did you even listen to the track?
>>60386370
He's just playing harmonized notes. It's not hard at all, like banging on the white keys of a piano.
Do like this, this is real "outside" "free imrpovisation"
https://youtu.be/zLukR6J-06o?t=2m25s
>>60386718
yeah not only is the recording awful that sounds terrible and not enjoyable at all.
So why am I just now finding out about Keiji Haino, you've let me down /gg/
>>60386773
Yeah, well... you're just some pleb who doesn't even know how to play guitar so what does your opinion matter?
>>60386514
Addictive Drums 2. Despite the silly name, it is top shit and they're all properly recorded kits with crazy modulation properties and choices.
A lot of people recommend NI's Battery, but I've never used it meself.
>>60386718
>real "outside" "free imrpovisation"
I think you mean something like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2WSeZZV6iQ
>>60386790
Because he's a shit tier guitarist.
Hacks like Haino ruined "free improv" by lowering the bar to the point that literally anyone with a loud amp and distortion pedals can reproduce it.
>>60386819
Wait, so is this guy uses a Looper too?

This sounds like shit but whatever he did at 1:57 and 2:12 was really cool
>>60386790
>you've let me down /gg/
sorry, you're not going to find out about interesting musicians at /gg/, we only know about run of the mill guitar players.
>>60386925
Is there really a difference between musician's and guitar players?
>>60386869
Because music is art and good art requires a certain degree of intent and accuracy in execution . Without a solid foundation in the technique of your craft you're literally aimlessly wanking on your instrument worse than any "shredder".
I'm a free improv guitarist myself and I hate hacks like Haino, but have great respect for people like Fred Frith or Joe Morris because theyre thoughtfully pushing guitar technique forward with a solid foundation in tradition.
Reductionism is pleb tier bullshit in any medium

Yeah. /gg/ is a great example of guitar players. No actual musicians hang out here for a reason.
Whats the best sounding wood?

Mahogany for acoustics. Wood doesn't really matter for electrics

>>60386956
>good art requires a certain degree of intent and accuracy in execution
Yeah ok, here me out here.
Okay, you listening? There's no fucking good art or bad art. There's just art. Art is art and that's it. You can do great art with just a vision or a idea and without any talent. Most important part about art is that it is genuine self-expression. You don't like something? Okay, you don't have to like it because you know, it's art. It's emotions and ideas and visions and shit. There's shit you can't connect with and shit you can okay? Good that we had this talk, now you can stop being so angry.
>want a nice jazzmaster like in the op

>fender doesn't offer an american standard jm
what should I do? the american vintages are like $2299 new so fuck that
>>60387364
not nonstop; I don't come here very often anymore, was mainly active back in like 2009-2011
my implying button is broken on my keyboard and I didn't know until now
send help I am defenseless
>>60387407
>There's no fucking good art or bad art.
this line of thinking has led to things like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdZ9weP5i68
>>60387430
>what should I do
build your own?
>>60387430
this year's line of the upper range squier's are actually pretty good. If anything, its a good placeholder until you have more money or a lesser model is released
>>60387440
this is probably a better answer
>>60387430
Squiers are actually really great guitars in most cases once you get past the entry-level beginner shit
Don't let branding bullshit sway your opinion my main, they're practically the same fucking instruments
>>60387434
Yeah, and?
Do you often get upset about stuff that doesn't effect you in any way?
So is this the most incredible pedal and how would you use it?

Is Shred guitar a legit virtuoso skill? Can you compare it to classical guitar or acoustic guitar?
>>60387596
no musical value what so ever.
>>60387236
So basically you're telling me I suck at guitar because I don't circlejerk about MUH TOAN WOODS?
>>60387596
Its mostly a crutch used to cover up for poor songwriting skills.
>>60387620
no i'm saying you are a moron for even bothering to answerthat question lel
>>60387635
this. Reformed shredfag here. the better I got at writing songs, the less I care about playing really fast or throwing in over-the-top licks everywhere.
>>60387649
Likewise, you must be a moron for responding to me then.
>>60387671
well i am visiting the /gg/ so I must be some kind of asshole.
>>60387596
shred guitar wankery impresses teenagers who want (extremely shit boring) style over substance
so no, it's not comparable
>>60387596
pretty much this
>>60387693
>>60387635
when someone first starts learning the guitar they have no idea how to write interesting/good music so they focus on things that are attainable goals and frankly, pointless.
>>60387596
It's a completely different. It's a skill, a skill I don't care for but it's still a skill. There's no reason to compare it to something like classical guitar.
Forgot I had a pic of some of my pedals laying around
Is my cube 30X dying or something? It sounds like complete shit now. Everything sounds muddy and there is no gain on the R-Fier setting or anything. Should I take it in to get repaired or something? Can I fix it myself?

when i started i had no interest in shred guitar, it all sounded extremely lame to me, and it still does to this day. that shit should have died at the end of the 80s.
it's exactly what you think it is, picture is from some ancient thread I think but ye only one of these exists
>>60387777
you should fix it yourself. remove the amp from the cabinet and post pics. real easy fix.
>>60387576
go to bed sufjan
>>60387793
>you should fix it yourself. remove the amp from the cabinet and post pics. real easy fix.
What is the fix? Why is there no gain?
>>60387817
well i've done this several times and I need to get a look at your amp proper to diagnose exactly what needs to be done. just unscrew the amp from the cab and take a photo and i'll be able to tell you EXACTLY what to do.
>>60387844
That's fine, and I'd be willing to do that, but I want to know what you think the problem is first.
>>60387817
yeah he helped me fix my amp. good guy!
>>60387753
What I mean is, can it be considered something technically demanding? Like, a skill that deserves respect to the guy who manages to do his 64 note runs and 5 string sweeps?
>>60387881
>deserves respect
lel
>>60387861
I'm not going to risk zapping myself on capacitors unless this guy knows what's wrong.
>>60387881
If you think its incredible that someone sat alone in a room and practiced a technique over and over and over, sure go ahead and applaud him as I'm sure he needs your approval.
>>60387576
That's gonna take some imagination and I only play cover songs.
>>60387881
that's mostly the problem with shred guitar. it's technically difficult lifeless robot music.
i'm not going to sit here and say what they play is easy, it's not, i can't do it. but there really isn't much beyond it's difficulty, it usually ends up sounding like a bunch of exercises thrown together (which they pretty much are).
>>60387859
>I want to know what you think the problem is first
woops sorry, i think the problem is it sounds muddy and has no gain. real easy fix.
>>60388039
>woops sorry, i think the problem is it sounds muddy and has no gain. real easy fix.
I think you're a faggot who wants me to try to open up my amp and hopefully kill myself on via capacitors or ruin the amp completely. You cannot give me a real explanation for what's wrong with it.
I'll just take the shit into guitar center later today. Fuck you, faggot.
>>60384876
Pretty sure he has all sorts of one offs and rare stuff. Probably just contact the builder direct if they don't have it at guitar center.
>>60388039
top kek
>>60388065
Not that anon, but you probably have a cap that's gone bad. Real easy to spot. Google it first so you know what to look for. Just unplug the amp and let it sit for awhile, SS amps dont have huge caps like tube amps which take forever to discharge. Just don't touch anything and you'll be OK.
Whats the most comfortable offset body? I really like the looks but not sure about the comfort.
>>60386956
>I'm a free improv guitarist myself
sure you are kid
>>60388171
Fender Mustang.
