Posted a clip of the Blues Junior I picked up last thread. Still dialing it in (for ambient). Did a fresh clip if anyone is interested. I know people usually dig my clips (EBowbro).
There's no real editng, just some footage of me tweaking it.

Why are Fender Mustangs so popular in Japan?
>>60917329
The Pillows and K-On!, I think.
>>60917226
pretty decent shugazi sound senpai
>>60917371
I don't play that sort of music, but I tend to construct my ambient tones that way before I add diffusion.
If anyone has advice for what I could do with it, or has questions feel free.

PRS SE Custom 24 It's no telecaster, but it's still a very pretty guitar.
>How long have you been playing?
Almost 9 years, and I still can't play shit, but I'm finally getting the hang of the lick @ 6:35, which I hear all the fucking time everywhere.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcOempNj6_g
Oh, and I can also tell when my guitar is out of tune, which is pretty cool.
>>60917329
they're the only fender factory that makes the stock normal mustangs i think. or at least they were when i got mine like 10 years ago

On a similar note, I was convinced by myself that Ibanez is pretty popular in Japan but then I found out that it isn't on the same level as ESP, since most J-rock artists use them, even though they're both from the same country.

Yeah, it seems popular for everyone to get a locally made custom guitar over there.
Example: tricot's motifour and ikkyu have made the switch lately to custom guitars from:

On video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0Q_y54F070
Yoshiaki Manabe of the pillows, for his solo stuff, uses a mustang based custom from:

On video:
https://youtu.be/a3x23C_ffMU?t=1m53s
Supporting local manufacturing (folded a thousand times), lax copyright laws, getting customs at a much cheaper rate than everywhere else in the world for what you're getting in return, there's little to no reason for it to not catch on.
>>60918032
$2000~ for your very own les paul type custom.

Tuned my ltd m-53 to drop D but it went out of tune before I even played it, noticed that the bridge did pic related. It just lifts out of it's cave to say "hi!". Had it in something like standard C before and it didn't do this. I have ernie ball not even slinkies on it, .012 .016 .024p .032 .044 .056. It's a "vintage tremolo" brigde.
Is this a problem? Is it broken?
>>60918181
You need to adjust the springs to account for the difference in tension.

I can't believe his still peddling his bullshit, and I can't believe Fender hasn't sued him for trying to make money of their name. Do they just not know he exists?

He is the patent holder on that particular 7 string design.

i love this maestro guy so much
>>60919491
Modt Squiers are shit (Affinity, Standard, etc.) and cheaply made in Asia. But the Classic Vibe series is decent.
Fenders are better, but more expensive. The main debate is to go with made in Mexico or America. I'd go with MiM because it's cheaper and you can upgrade the electronics in time.
Your amp will play the biggest role in tone so you should research that more. Avoid Line 6.
>>60919536
arent squiers usually made in japan?
>>60919481
he posts his ambient work a lot it's good stuff. people ask about his tones a bit so it's kind of cool to see him dialing it in
>>60919553
usually indonesia or china
the original squiers from the 80s were MIJ. great guitars.
>>60919553
Depends on the guitar. A lot are from Indonesia, China,etc. No longer from Japan though.
Had an Indonesian Standard Strat and it was atrocious even through tube amps.
>>60919553
MIJ is great quality. Squier is not.

Fuck , time to save up then
>>60918923
Fun fact: that article is just a promo thing and not something about him as an endorsee. Almost all of the information on it is false.
Also, remember that patent? He filed it on the 31st of december 1990... almost a year after the Ibanez Universe came out, and decades after Lenny Brau did his thing with seven strings.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu0yIxv3dtY
See this video? It's an entry, not an actual video shown when he won (which he didn't, he just officially entered). The guy doing the narration? That's MAG himself.
He also has this dank video of him with his "signature Gibson Les Paul", lol.

If I was a richfag I would do this just to entertain and/or trigger you guys.
Order some CS instruments or take them to a talented luthier to be accomodated as my "sig" (or do that truss rod cover swap kek) and then do BS videos and post them here.
Maybe secretly sneak in a dank /gg/ mention in one of the videos so you lose your shit.
does anybody know much about the theory of avoid notes?
I ask because I'm a bit confused. Apparently the 6th note of a IIm7 is and avoid note (e.g. II chord of C maj = Dmin - avoid note of Dmin is B). But there is a min 6 chord which brings out that note, and playing the arpeggios of a min 6 chord does seem to 'work'. It fits quite well over a melodic minor too (A melodic minor - II chord is Bmin - G# is the 6th). Yet in my book of theory it says to avoid this note as it is weak.
What do you think /gg?
So I just did the same kind of serrations present on guthrie govan's signature picks on a jazz III. I have to say it's pretty fun, the little scraping of the edges adds in some kind of funky-ish noise.
I did it in a few minutes with an knife but you can probably make some more cello-like sounds if you cut it more regularily.

>>60920001
Are those Readbear picks something special?
My guitar tech has some but I never tried one.
>>60920022
Never tried either, and I don't really want to spend 35$ on a pick before trying it. That being said they supposedly last a lot longer, and I don't really lose my picks (mostly since I don't move that much.)
>>60919955
that Bmin6 in your example shouldnt work bc you have the same tritone (g#-d) that isnt alowed with 6s.
Are you sure your book says its ok?
>>60919925
sounds like shit
>>60919800
holy shit is this guy a joke or something?
he's awful
usually shredders out there that can't play like Vai or the Focking Füry are a dime a dozen and get no notoriety because shred is pretty boring music, but at least they have chops
this guy is like the tone king levels of shit
>>60920490
I meant can play like vai, yngwie etc.
>>60919820
How do I motivate myself to practice?
>>60920330
chord is Bmin6
6 / 7
5 / x
4 / 6
3 / 7
2 / 7
1 / 7
which fits snugly over form two A melodic minor
(Am(maj)7 , Bm7 , Cmaj#5, D7 , E7 , F#min7b5 , G#min7b5)
>>60920626
>4 / 6
>3 / 7
yeah this is the tritone i was talking about.
but then again if you play it like this you can easily resolve it. So i guess i wouldnt play that note unless you resolve to tonic
but then that would count for both chords in your first example.... so im not sure
could anyone recommend me amps to play metal - rock at home between 100-150€ ? been playing for 2 years

>>60920761
You'll want to save more if you want something decent.
>>60920761
for that budget you arent gonna get anything amazing i dont think,... maybe look into getting your sound from pedals instead of amp. Any generic amp would do at this stage
>>60920761
A decent tube amp with a tubescreamer. I don't think you can get that from your budget.
>>60920823
already have a distorsion pedal, but the amp i currently have is a shit even with that.

>>60920808
I have these amplifiers as well >>60917443 got the Blues Junior for a few months to play around with for free though.
Wishing I had a Jensen P12Q I could throw in it though. The stock speaker seems really dark.
>>60920851
Noice. You needed the cleans tbf
>>60920848
Also what are the best (most common) keys to get harmonicas in? G and C right? I really just want it for Bob Dylan songs.
>>60920847
what gear do you have atm?
>>60920936
js22 dinky guitar, frontman 10g fender amplifier and a ds-1 boss distorsion pedal
>>60920872
I was getting pretty good cleans from the AxeFX and KT77 setup. Dialing in the actual amplifier is the easiest way to improve the AxeFX tones.
>>60920953
Keep saving and get a decent amplifier.
>>60920998
what's the minimun money that I'll need for a decent one?
>>60920953
what this guy >>60920998 said. i dont think its gonna be worth it to replace that amp with one under 200.
I would also say maybe replace the DS-1 bc i dont think its very versitile. but that choice

how do i learn phrasing?
how do i practice this?
im slowly starting to get comfortable with the 5 pentatonic positions but when i improvise it just sounds like shit put on repeat.
im dying here i just want to play my shit man.
>>60921779
>im slowly starting to get comfortable with the 5 pentatonic positions but when i improvise it just sounds like shit put on repeat.
Sounds like your average pentatonic improvisation then
>>60920616
Don't play the fun stuff until you have done the boring stuff. Or, even better, no reading /gg/ until you have practised. You will be reinforcing the desired behaviour.
>>60921779
>im slowly starting to get comfortable with the 5 pentatonic positions but when i improvise it just sounds like shit put on repeat.
Learn modes. It will definitely make pentatonic soloing more "rich".
>>60917152
even bassists get more pussy than autistic faggots who spend all their money on gear
i'm gonna do an intro solo on bass as an opener to a jazz gig we're doing
how long do you feel is appropriate for such a solo
>>60922033
aren't modes for advance shit?
i can't sound half decent just with the basics i don't know if learning modes will help me.
also i remember reading somewhere that modes are pretty much a meme.
>>60921779
that's because playing only standard pentatonics is bland and boring, it works for certain types of music, but once you get those typical standard pentatonic licks down you'll just find yourself repeating the same shit over and over again.
learn how to solo over chords that require you to switch scales rather than staying just hammering away in one scale.
try coming up with your own pentatonic scales if you want that are more in line with chords. say you're soloing over a dominant7 chord. instead of playing a major pentatonic over it, try a dominant 7 pentatonic scale, the only difference between the two scales is one note (you make the major pentatonic 6 into a b7 to get a dominant7 pent)
drill in arpeggio shapes so you know where all the core intervals of chords are up and down the fretboard.
>>60922148
>aren't modes for advance shit?
are you retarded? learn theory faggot
>>60922148
>also i remember reading somewhere that modes are pretty much a meme.
yeah notes are meme you should just play wall of noises with shitloads of pedals senpai desu
>>60922148
modes aren't going to help you, they aren't that advanced, but you most likely don't know how to actually make a mode sound like a mode.
learn to solo over chords first
modes are a meme, at best you'll just be learning how to play a major scale all over the neck in different positions because you don't know how to actually use modes. worry about modes later.
>>60922147
go full jaco and do a 25 minute loop improv
>>60922148
modes arent that amazing, but definitely a tool to help you along.
Check here:
C ionian/A aeolian you should know as C major and A minor
C lydian/A dorian are same as above but with a raised F (so a F#). I dont use them as much, but they can be cool.
C Mixolydian/A frygian. B is now a Bb so improvising on I doesnt have a 7th note that really wants to resolve.
Locrian is shit
hey, you can now play modes!
>>60922148
>i can't sound half decent just with the basics i don't know if learning modes will help me.
Maybe you haven't understood the basics then. You should be able to pinpoint every note on the fretboard.
You said earlier that you were getting comfortable with the 5 positions. In order to not sound like shit on repeat you have to fluently change positions as you play. As you get better you can try to incorporate notes from the chords played behind.
TL;DR learn theory and git gud
>>60922183
>>60922188
im trying but i just don't know how to realize it while playing.
i have read into intervals and how to construct scales.
i think my biggest problem is just phrasing i can't for the live of me playing something that sounds like a decent lick,and i don't know how to practice it to.whenever i try to put a backing track and just play slow i still don't get it.
are there any tips for this or exercises or should i just keep doing it until i finally get it?
please don't bully.
>>60922429
Locrian is my favorite...
>>60922462
if i can give some tips
if your stuck in certain positions when playing pentatonic it can help to do the following tricks:
-force yourself to play on 2 strings. This way you really need to think of the sounds youre actually playing and how the different shapes fit together
-learn longscales
-combine 2 postions together. practice by playing pentatonic notes doing 3 notes per string. but only play in the 2 positions youre working on. Keep doing this to blend your 5 shapes into a full neck.
if youre having problems with phrasing grab a miles davis (or other old jazz album) and emulate that music. think as a singer.
>>60922486
how?
>>60922462
when you're playing along to some backing track try thinking of some type of rhythmic phrase in your head before you play and then try to play it
you'll start noticing that those rhythmic phrases automatically turn into some type of melody
even if they sound like shit just play the first thing that comes into your head, it's really the only way you're going to get good at instant improv
basically you don't just want to let your fingers find the notes, because that usually just ends up sounding like unmusical exercises (a lot of shredders do this type of stuff), you want to let your ears tell your fingers what to do.

A scientific expedition disembarks from its plane at the final outpost of civilization in the deepest Amazon rain forest. They immediately notice the ceaseless thrumming of native drums. As they venture further into the bush, the drums never stop, day or night, for weeks.
The lead scientist asks one of the natives about this, and the native's only reply is "Drums good. Drums never stop. Very BAD if drums stop."
The drumming continues, night and day, until one night, six weeks into the trip, when the jungle is suddenly silent. Immediately the natives run screaming from their huts, covering their ears. The scientists grab one boy and demand "What is it? The drums have stopped!"
The terror-stricken youth replies "Yes! Drums stop! VERY BAD!"
The scientists ask "Why? Why? What will happen?"
Wild-eyed, the boy responds,
"bass solo"

Got an Epi LP as part of a swap, got it all nice and setup up and all that jazz, but it didn't have the strap hooks so I figured I'd get those Dunlop strap locks. So I set them up and all that and the screw cavity ends up being too wide for the screws, but I can't get larger screws because they wont slide through the washer piece. Is it worth drilling new holes because the guitars not worth a ton, or do strap locks with larger screws exist?
>>60924502
I'm no woodworker but I'd look into filling the holes with some sort of wood putty and screwing into that
>>60924343

See anon, when you respect the trips you get trips of your own
>>60924502
go back to the original strap pins and just get a rubber washer from a beer bottle and use those. Google "red strap locks" if you dont know what i mean
>>60924541
usually you would fill it with a dowel of the same size and then redrill a new hole

This sexy fucker arrives at my house tomorrow, are any of you nerds jealous?

It sat at the front of the shop for at least 2 months (I drove by daily). I imagine it would've been claimed by the time I got to the shop (plus It would've had to be around longer than that because of marking it up, possible storage etc.)
>>60926027
Me, Got any deets on the gear it's hooked up with?
>>60926027
Be sure to give us a sound sample I wonder what dual bridge single coils sound like
>>60926027
I heard warwicks were incredibly heavy though, so not really. I wouldn't buy it because of this minor detail, but it's probably pretty good.
>>60925979
did your previous scratch plate have a metal coating on the inside?
>>60923628
>a drummer stopping
>ever
Maybe in the amazon forest, but never in europe.
Enjoy tuning your guitar by ear over the sound of fifteen cymbals
Have any of you guys done the 10 hour guitar workout? I have a lot of free time and I might try it.
>>60925979
Most likely the ground wire to the bridge.
>>60926183
>tuning your guitar by ear
please dont do this at any gig.
>>60926274
yeah ive gone through the exercises and theyre pretty cool. some of them i still use every now and then
>>60923628
kek
>>60926676
I never spoke about kind of gig in my post.
But doing a rehearsal where you brought a minimum of gear while drummer won't stop hitting his shit for a second when you're trying to tune yourself to a reference sound is incredibly annoying.

>not using a telephone dial tone to tune 6th to F then finding A from there and tuning by ear using Esus4(omit 5)/A then dropping 6th string back down to E
>>60926882
>sus4 omit 5
Aren't you supposed to replace the fifth by the 2nd/4th ?
>>60926354
How much will a typical luthier charge for fixing this? It's much more pronounced with only the bridge pickup btw
>>60926911
I guess you could just call it A5
>>60927040
Solidbody- $25
Hollowbody- $100 (have to fish out the electronics)
>>60926027
I'm somewhat jelly but I'd be MAD JELLY if it was a blue 5 string Corvette Taranis $$. I don't dig single coils on basses or not having a neck pickup. In my bass I use it to get a sound similar to a P bass.
>>60926120
>heavy
>a bad characteristic for a guitar
who are you, some grandma?
>>60926911
this thing
>>60927210
>unnecessarily heavy
>for no good reason
It's less comfortable and serves no practical purpose, so why would you want it to be heavier?
>>60927210
>i've never gigged in my entire life
>>60926808
yeah i can understand this.
>>60926911
you can usually drop the fifth whenever you want, but a sus2/sus4 replace the 3rd.
>>60927210
good luck playing hours and hours on guitar and developing back problems
>>60927241
>no practical purpose
heavier guitar resonate differently, and some people claim that more weight generate sustain
>>60926676
>please dont do this at any gig.
some people are very good at it. I wouldn't trust ears to tune a bass though.
>>60927278
>implying
My bass is quite heavy, and I've gigged with it with no problems. It's also a warwick copy.
>>60927293

DYEL?
i hope all of you have your vintage 90s MIJ jacksons when there is a superstrat revival 30 years from now.
>>60927400
I hope I die before that happens.

it's not a matter of doing it well, it's that it's fucking obnoxious to hear a guy tune through his amp for 30 seconds. A pedal will assure that you're accurate and it mutes your signal
>>60927342
Not him but I lift and I developed a slight back pain when playing sitted down thanks to a lesion.
Thanks Rippetoe.
>>60927458
kek, now I understand what you mean
>>60926808
You can get a fairly accurate clip on tuner for $7 online
>>60925979
It could be a ground, it could be the faraday cage trick.
Did your old lifeguard have a sheet of foil of a metal back that went against the guitar? If so, foil and some spray adhesive will fix it.
If it's a ground wire you should be able to tell by bridging a piece of metal(or sometimes even your hand) from the bridge to the pot(only works with metal knobs, if you have plastic knobs take them off for this). If the humming goes away you need to ground the bridge. There's a little wire in there somewhere that needs to be tied to ground. I can help you with this, but I need a pic of your guitar, and if possible the back of the old pick guard.
Could also be that you're playing more attention now to your sound now that you messed with your guitar. Happens to knew mechanics too, they fix something on a car and now they notice every squeak and groan that happens because they're listening for issues more intently.
Also, it's more noticeable on the bridge pick up because, unless there was some fuckery performed on the guitar, the bridge pick up has higher output than the neck, basically meaning the signal coming from it is louder.
