What's the most viable open tuning? D?

at least do DADGAD or DADFAD comeon.
open tunings are a waste of time though.
Senpai.s, is this a good deal? http://www.segundamano.mx/nuevo-leon/monterrey/instrumentos-musicales/Orange-Micro-Terror-stack_897329785.htm?ca=21_s
It's an Orange Micro Terror Stack for about 200$
It'd be my first amplifier, and I'm looking for a clean mellow sound.
I find G is most viable, especially if you consider the ease of chords muting the 6th string. If you want to get technical g minor is the most flexible, but many chords are a pain.

Nah you're alright though, you posted a washburn instead of a shitty dean.
I wonder what a band with Dimebag and Paul Gilbert would have sounded like.
>>60718851
No, really. You can't use the same hammer-ons if you are using all 4 fingers to make a major. Using only one finger to make a major chord has obvious utility.
Tips for sweep picking? I can do standard 5 string sweeps slowly, but I really want to up my game.
>>60719123
I play in the classical position sitting down but it just feels funky. I've played on a few killer Vs and the pylon sitting on the leg is great on the ML and Explorer body.
>>60719253
I own a Dean that's been set up in America, it plays fine but not great. I'm going to put a 85 Dirty finger in it after Christmas just cause the Bill Lawrence LX500 sounds really meh, probably cause it's Korean crap, but it's got an American Floyd Rose so it's not an utter piece of crap and stays in tune to what you'd expect. It's the only one i could find that's affordable but not garbage. Dean's are way to overpriced for what you get.

>>60719354
>American Floyd Rose
I thought they were either made in Germany or Korea?
>>60719371
Look, maybe you can do many of the same things, but think about it this way. Any such tapping around a major bar code, if done with open tuning, gives you 3 more fingers available, on your fretting hand. To put it in the most simple way possible, that's 3 more frets you can change. Additionally, as with any alternate tuning, the pull offs available are different. Finally, you just do not get the same tone from tapping and strumming. Acoustic guitars do exist. Songs not using high gain do exist. Just being able to play the same notes is not the same as strumming.
>>60719698
you're right my kahler is made in America and my Floyd Rose is made in Germany. I guess it's been a long day.

>>60719919
Please. Enlighten me. How is compression going to make tapping an acoustic guitar sound like plucking? And yet nothing else is compressed? Making everything sound the same is just like using high gain. It is not applicable to every situation.

Planning a return to College next year. Want to do Guitar instead of Piano. Got Classical Guitar for Dummies and Absolute essentials of music theory for guitar. Any other reccomendations? I've been playing guitar like 9 years and I've done a year of music back when I was 19 so I'm good for theory mainly. More techniques and concert guitar stuff if anyone knows anything?
>>60720049
touch and mute certain strings and diddle around with a whammy bar. I really like muting my neck pick up, or bridge if you're using your neck pick up mostly, and then flipping my toggle switch back and forth while holding a chord like open A minor
>>60720095
Yes. I have. E2s are an 80s top end model from Gibson. There's nothing wrong with Navigators and Edwards, but they don't hold a candle to something like an E2.
>>60720144
don't do it, get a bass instead

>>60720207
You weeb faggots jerk off to anything Made in Japan. Only the super high end stuff is as good as Gibson, and if you live in the US it's probably more expensive than just buying the guitar the jap shit is copying.
>>60720178
Well then, let's talk about how Meghan Trainor is the greatest bassist of our generation.
Why some /gg/ neckbeards are so insecure and act like they hate anime?
Like 5 threads ago i asked about MIJ Fenders and the jap dealers on ebay and a lot of shitposters came out of nowhere calling me a weeb for looking out MIJ/CIJ stuff lmao.
>>60718991
>>60718785
>>60720014
This thread's gonna be fun
>>60720257
Navigator is super high end. For anything else there's Edwards and ESP.
>>60720286
Nothing wrong with MIJ stuff, it's just when you regurgitate the meme that they're "soo much better" than USA guitars that you're a weeb faggot.
Looks like I wasn't wrong either.
>>60720043
pedals can be switched off, just use unity gain
>>60720286
Gotta agree that made in japan is not weeb. I think it probably started as a joke.
>>60720324
They are certainly better than Norlin era Gibsons. Now if you want some high end Gibsons that Navigators don't hold a candle to, there's the '59 Les Paul. But man, you compared Navigators to the dark era of Gibson, of course they are better than those.
>>60720207
>>60720309
Explorers weren't subject to half of the norlin nonsense. I'm yet to play a bad example of an E2. I know hating Gibson is trendy, but you're delusional if you think a Navigator is the superior instrument. End of story.
The desirable MIJ explorer is the MX-250II.
>>60720309
I've played one before. 80s model, it was good but basically the same as the Tokai,Burny etc models of that era.
Nice, but it doesn't shit all over the equivalent Gibson. The only truly bad Gibsons are some of the cheap faded models,studios etc..
>>60720324
>you
They're cheaper than MIA stuff and it has good QC, no one is implying anything here.
In fact i've never seen someone say that MIJs are better than MIAs.
Still i'd choose MIJs or even some MIMs because of the price/quality ratio in some specific models.
Also MIAs are made by mexicans who happen to live 50 miles north of Mexico anyway.
>>60720380
Oh and FYI I'm usually a Japan hater, but when it comes to guitars I just have to admit they're outstanding. I hate most stuff coming from Japan, except for some of their tech products. I hate anime, I hate weaboos, I hate most Japanese cars, I hate Ibanez guitars.
>>60720395
You're in denial, man. QC was sloppy at best during the Norlin era. It's the consensus even among Gibson owners.
>>60720380
That wasn't my response.
Norlin wasn't as bad as people pretend it was. The issue was more quality control than anything. Good norlins are fantastic instruments. Like I said, I'm yet to find a bad E2.
>>60720401
There are some shocking Norlin LPs out there, but there are some fantastic examples too.
People like to shit on CBS Fenders as well, but there are great examples of those too.
>>60720286
>CIJ
Wait, what? Did you mean MIC (China, except that's not good quality at all)?
I've never heard that term used before, "CIJ".
>>60720469
Quality is defined by consistency. You can't say you make quality products if 2 out of 5 are lemons. Trust me, I'm an engineer (in the making kek, but I have already studied QC and related stuff).
>>60720469
>People like to shit on CBS Fenders
thats just to increase the value of pre CBS more than anything desu
I have no musical ability
I can't carry a note, and I have next to no concept of rhythm, is there hope for me? Can I still learn to play Guitar?
>>60720109
A TT is just a gained up AC15. If you control the preamp gain, then there's some space to work.
The micro is obviously a preamp valve in a solid state practice amp.
>>60720497
Crafted in Japan
>>60720497
CIJ = Crafted in Japan
Usually refers to newer models or models made for export IIRC.
Basically the same as MIJ, and maybe from a different factory but that's all.
>>60720467
Denial? No. Did you read any of my posts? The strike out rate for Norlin LPs was anything but good. Most of the explorers are from that era are fine though.
>>60720513
Again, mainly an issue with the LPs from that era. No one denies Norlin was spotty at best, but dismissing all Gibsons over it is equally as stupid.
>>60720514
There are some Fender players who'd try to murder you for that comment.
Either way, it's time to go to work, so I'm out.
>>60720574
>Again, mainly an issue with the LPs from that era. No one denies Norlin was spotty at best, but dismissing all Gibsons over it is equally as stupid.
Of course, because stats mean jack about one guitar. But they mean a lot about the group. Would you buy a Norlin without trying it first?

>>60720823
there are links in the OP that apparently are useful for the beginner
>>60720331
What I'm trying to say here is you can't have it all. The pedal is either on or off, and you'd limit your capabilities. Why jump through all these hoops? It's not hard to tune your guitar, and it obviously has purpose. Just because it's possible to approximate the capabilities of an open tuning with standard tuning doesn't mean its worth while. If it's easier to do and better sounding with an open tuning why not do it? I just think it's silly to say open tuning is pointless. Especially when you look at the huge amount of effort it would take to play the songs written for an open tuning in standard.

>>60721267
Tried the chain of free VSTs that gets posted here from time to time?
>>60721356
Yeah, and most of them aren't really that good compared to the paid ones.
I have S-Gear 2, and its the best of the bunch so far. Better ones I have tried are Recabinet and Bias, but I haven't bought them, only tried out the demo.
>>60721225
Neck thru makes little to no difference, none of my favourite basses are neck thru.
>>60720852
I think lazy alternative tunings limit your capabilities, because you become better out of need. Besides, I don't play a single genre and I have a strat. That means every time you change your tuning, you need to set it up.
>>60720924
>If it's a deluxe, hell yeah. Never played a bad one.

>incorrectly uses homograph as example of homophone to appear smart.
>>60721740
If you're talking about just randomly tuning and strumming things until it work like half of people who use them, I'm with you, but stuff like new standard tuning or even regular open tuning can help you cover more range, which with enough theory and fretboard knowledge, will give you the possibility to do some really cool shit.
Also people don't know how far tuning with some fifths and playing only using tapping can get you far. I love doing that when tuned to CGCBE.

Guys, what the fuck is wrong with this guitar? Someone just gifted it to me, it's a brand new Epiphone SG. It sounds so bland, so lifeless. Also it's basically impossible to tap with it, no attack, no sustain at all. The strings and the cable are fine, I double checked it. Please help!
>>60722747
>Music has no colour
>>60722769
I haven't seen them, but from what I can tell from the settings, they are usually geared for metal isn't it.
I can do metal tones fine, I'm more leaning against on the verge of breakup tones.
>>60722795
Do you have other guitars you can compare it to? Cuz it could be your amp.
Anybody who likes Portraits of Past also good at figuring out tabs...?
I tried to learn Bang Yer Head on bass but some of it I can't get at all.
I know it's in Drop C#.
>>60720721
I don't think I've ever really had that problem, I'm still pulling riffs out that I came up with years ago. I spent a lot of time teaching myself to remember songs though when I was younger.
>>60722833
Yeah, I have a Gibson that sounds just fine. I'm using a pre-amp + a sound card to play/record, never had any problem with them over the years, it's definitely the guitar. Maybe the humbuckers are low quality?

>>60721943
Go to Bill M's site and check the trouble shooting section
>>60722959
Pickups too close to the strings can negatively impact sustain. So can a badly cut nut.
>>60722975
excessive/10
>>60722959
>Yeah, I have a Gibson that sounds just fine.
This could be the reason why you find it lacking. I have a friend who has an Epi and more recently a Gibby and he says the Gibson blows his EMG-equipped Epi out of the water.
>>60722959
Yeah, I'd guess the pickups unfortunately. But try some more aggressive EQ before you get ahead of yourself. Also I don't see how even the crappiest of humbuckers would keep you from tapping. With enough gain you can tap anything. When you say you checked the strings, what do you mean? Are they a decent brand?
>>60722795

>>60722795
Is that a g310? If so, those guitars suck. The g400s are all right, but the pickups that came in mine were awful. They buzzed like crazy and were low output and tinny. Never got a chance to swap them because the head stock broke clean almost perfectly perpendicular and there was no way to clamp it. Watch out for that, if I got another I would carry a stand with me at all times.
I need a bass recommendation
I have a budget of <$800
I play mostly Jazz, Rock and pep band music, no metal or anything like that.
I don't slap very often, so I really would like a dark, purple, and smooth tone in my bass playing.
Should I go with the standard fender P? I've been playing a squire J for a while, but I've had it for 3 years so I'm at a point in my skill level and the squire's lifespan that I really should be looking for a better bass.

Eddie is my favourite Asian guitar player but I'm sure he meant "brown sound" in a figurative sense.

I haven't heard fizz in a long time.. Nowadays VSTs are pretty good.

Stand in front of my window fan with it blowing directly at my pickups, surrounded by old monitors and about 8 inches from my amp.

u wot m8
"figurative sense" is synesthesia in this case m8
>>60725387
sadly when I use ReaRoute I always get fizz (I need to use it because my only ReValver license is Standalone, and if I load it as a VST I get random siren sounds)
So I'm thinking about adding another big tube head to my rig, and theres an ass ton of marshalls on craiglist for good deals. I'm playing mostly doom in the vein of YOB, should I go for the JCM 800, 900, or 2000? I've heard the 900 is the worst of the bunch. Opinions?
>>60725754
>JCM 800
a 2203 or 2204 for sure, also mod them to hell and back for tru toan.
>JCM 900
Most of them were pretty rank, they had some alright models.
>JCM 2000
A lot of them were fairly mediocre, some of the DSL's were ok, never liked the TSL's, all the modern ones are trash too.
For a YOB sound I'd look into a bassman or Orange OR120, doom for days.
>>60725754
>>60725863
If I recall Mike was playing through a pair of JCM800s when they played here.
Depending on what you want go for a JCM800 2203, 2204, or a DSL50.
JCM900 aren't really the worst. It's just that every model except the SL-X is meh. The SL-X is great though. It isn't what I'd recommend to you though.

Revalver has always been fucking fizzy to me. I don't know if that's how a real 5150 sounds, but I don't like the revavler tone at all.

I knew about the others, but not Van Halen. Did a search and found out she was part Asian. I guess it explains why he doesn't look Asian at all.

There are a fair few different models of the Bassman, the Model T was based off the tweed Bassman iirc. When you think about it a lot of amps are based off the bassman in some way.

so as i was throwing some slightly larger gauge flatwounds on my old affinity strat the third wound fucked me and apparently the welds inside that third peg snapped. Presumably better hardware would sort this issue out, correct?
And if so what do you guys suggest for solid tuning machines?
>>60726350
I've never owned a fender, never really been a fan so I don't know shit about the different models and eras. Theres a bunch on craiglist around me, a 68 bassman, a 70 bassman, and a 300 watt super bassman.
Slightly unrelated, but anybody have experience with the Fender Bassman 300 Pro/SUNN 300T? They look nice as hell but never had the chance to play one.
found an old martin in my dad's house, any clues as to what model it might be? cant find the serial number on it,

Considering they have a Monster energy drink graphic on their guitar I doubt they're the brightest spark.
This may sound a little strange but today I started trying to play in the classical position to see if I found it more comfortable. After a short while of playing some basic exercises to a metronome I started getting a pain in my chest, not a heartburn type of pain. I don't know how to describe it but it was less burning and more discomfort.
I'm only 24 with no history of heart problems. Anyone experienced something similar to this?

None. I just want to play some Iron Maiden and Metallica brah.
>>60727199
Same, my problem is the upper bout pressing too much on my chest, a real classical guitar probably wouldn't have that problem since it's lighter and also bigger.
>>60727439
Get a Roland Cube, they're about the only thing worth buying in that price range.
>>60727199
You may be raising your fretting arm too high above your chest, which would over-extend your muscles and decrease blood flow to the upper pectoral/shoulder. You could also be tensing up in your chest as your body struggles to accommodate to the new position, resulting in pain after prolonged playing.
Try stretching your arms before sitting down and playing in the classical position, and again after playing. Adopting a new position that is adapted really only specifically for one style of guitar is not as easy nor as intuitive as it may seem.
>>60727403
>>60727439
And I'm just gonna plug my Audio Technicas to the amp so something that works with that.
>>60727536
What if I just buy used? Couldn't I get something somewhat decent?
>>60727556
Probably not.
Does using a 16 ohm cab with an amp's 16 ohm speaker output sound different than and 8 ohm speaker to 8 ohm head output?
>>60727565
Well what would you get?
>>60727439
Roland Cubes
Vox Valvetronix
Peavey Vypyrs
POD Beans (very helpful if you're just using headphones, also if you want to record)
>>60727556
$100? Mate that's chump change for an amp.
>>60727601
Fuck nigga I just blew half a million on a guitar. Give me some sympathy! But thanks for the suggestions ^^.
Ebony fretboards, yay or nay? I mean, I love the look of them, but I heard they're harder to work with and even "brittle", making them inferior to rosewood in that regard. You just treat them the same as a rosewood fretboard though, right? Lemon oil every few months or half a year and that's it?
Opinions on Godin guitars? Electro-acoustics in particular
>>60727601
for $100 just use a software plugin
>>60727730
Alright. $200.
>>60726806
Did you look in the hole?

Didn't notice. Chicks. Go figure.
>>60727188
Not speaking to her intelligence but would an either or scenario have you reaching for that "Little Ceaser?"
>>60727655
Ebony looks great. I think brittle only comes into play if you need a refret. Get the stainless steel jumbos right off.
>>60727833
you get a huge variety of sounds with software for fairly cheap...for $200 you can buy an ok amplifier that makes a few sounds, or a modeling amplifier that makes a variety of mediocre sounds.
I purchased a used vox valvetronix and it's ok, but I would still recommend software. I also have a twin reverb and use amplitube just as much because of the variety and the headphone usage.
>>60727684
hey that's a nice guitar, price?
>>60727684
Shit
>>60727947
'round 1k, great for the price, defo getting one
>>60727951
in what sense?
>>60727684
Ive used one of their Session strat looking guitars. The neck and frets felt good, it had a lot of tone options, and it stayed in tune well even with using the trem. I think theyre nice over all guitars.
>>60728064
looks like a strat/mustang hybrid, very nice.
>>60728064
why do all godins look so retarded?
>>60728094
They have their own look, but they play really well. Thats all that should matter, unless you're a faggot.
I have a Marshall haze 40 which I'm afraid could overheat easily and kill some caps (horrible thermal design).
Now, it has a small vent in the top near the power tubes (EL34s), and three round holes in the back, do you think a PC fan or two (with a filter) fitted onto the aforementioned holes would be enough too keep it cool?
>>60728111
>caring about looks makes someone a faggot
it's not like they are the best guitars in the world or something
Also I cringed hard when I read "their own look", they just ripoff famous designs and mix them up. Sort of what PRS does.
>>60728137
What guitar do you have?
>>60728149
MIK Strat copy, saving up for a Momose Flying V
>>60721225
I have a classic iv pro. The pickups alone make a huge difference.
>>60728222
Cool. I have an G&L tribute Rampage, Gibson Les Paul Studio, Fender PS Bass VI, Korean Fender light ash strat, and a Music Man Silhouette
>>60728261
wow, those are beautiful!
BTW, awesome Les Paul. Take that from a Les Paul hater.
Really digging the color combination and the trapezoids. Is it a flattop?
>pic related: my guitar
>>60727684
Does this one have piezo?
What should I use to lube the truss rod nut? I used WD40 and now I need to spray it every time I need to adjust it.
>>60728295
RMC transducers, have tried the guitar and i swear it sounds way more authentic than LR baggs
>>60723265
shit, that's a beautiful colorway. nice cop bro.
forgot to show y'all my 64 Musicmaster's butt last night.
>>60728284
Thanks, it has an arch top but the photo has the guitar in a weird angle. The inlays actually have a sort of aged color to them in real life. Its one of the heavier beefer LP studios for the 90s. Its sound really thick. Thinking about changing the pickups and adding a coil split option.
>>60728314
....WD40 isn't a lubricant.
>>60728348
actually it is, the problem is that it's a short term lubricant
>>60728314
why are you adjusting the truss rod so often?
>>60728314
Get some penetrating oil. I use Hoppe's gun oil, because it smells nice and I keep it on hand anyway.
>>60718432
DADF#AD is a beautiful open tuning. here are some songs that will hopefully turn you onto it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXYX9SLgecg

>>60728365
It's a solvent, not a lubricant.
>>60728376
because I haven't gotten to the point where it's ready yet. I make a small adjustment, wait 2 days and need to respray again or it becomes very stiff and makes a spooky scary noise.
>>60728407
It's both.
>>60728427
It's primarily a solvent and water displacer. For an actual lubrication job you should be using a lubricant. The gun oil this >>60728377 person recommended would be perfect.
WD-40s lubrication properties are short-lived at best, which is why you're spraying it every two days. It's the same reason you wouldn't put it on a chain unless you were doing it daily.
>>60728377
>>60728456
would it be too wrong to use sewing machine oil?
it's the easiest to get around here
>>60728494
no, that'd be just about perfect.
my current setup
deathgaze/noisegaze/dream metal i guess is what im going for
>>60729067

Is there a program that could display stuff like this for any tuning i dial in?
Hey I'm looking for a looper under 200 bucks with a possibility to fade out loops, for ambient soundscapes. I'm looking at Digitech's JamMan, their JML1 has a 10 sec fadeout but can't find info on JML2's fade length. Anyone have experience or have other recommendations?
>>60729111
>>60730753
Learn how to build the scales. Learn intervals. Learn how to place your notes on the fretboard, and you can do it without any program.
>>60729067
I'm GAS'ing so hard for a triple delay. How is it?
>post yfw pic related is guitar personality of the year
So I was trying to play Bach's Prelude in C major on the guitar, and halfway through I realize I couldn't go any lower on the bass notes.
And at that moment, I realized how useful a 7 string can actually be.
So a loopidyloop pedal stores the actual sound going into it?
So if for examplitysamp if I have it after wahwah pedal going nuts on the wahwah will not make the looper sound go crazy? Then havin the wah after looperoo will effect the loop?

>>60731817
Too bad so few people get that.
Plus, some aren't even that different to play compared to a regular 6 string, as long as you have proper form.
Except for those with a really longer scale, like schecters, the few I tried felt weird due to that and the fact that the finish on the back of the neck didn't feel as smooth as an Ibanez.
I'd love to try a multiscale though, but they're so expensive.

I found a Karina Strat and a Squier Strat both under $50 on my local auction site. The Karina has a slight chip on the side but no-one seems to be interested in it, but the Squier is pretty popular as it has a few more extra (extra strings, wammy bar etc.) and will probably go for a bit high
I'm pretty poor currently /gg/, which should I go for?
