Last thread: >>61523674
SG or Les paul
Just bought a Fender Jaguar, and after using a shitty starter kit guitar since my Schecter Omen broke a few years ago the difference in quality in every aspect is unbelievable.
By far my favorite instrument I've ever played. Tremolo and twang for fucking DAYS.
>>61529877
SG, unless the LP is pic related
>>61529877
Les Paul.
I haven't played an SG that I could live with yet.

>I haven't played an SG that I could live with yet.
too neck-heavy?
>>61529861
>implying any woman would cheat on a guy that plays a Gibson Explorer or Flying V
Which would be a better option as a first guitar, a Tele or a Mustang? I kinda want the mustang a bit more but I heard that you should get a hardtail if it's your first guitar and to my understanding the Mustang is not a hardtail while Teles are. Also would a Champion 100 be too much as a first amp, do you guys have any better suggestions? I don't want to have to buy a new one too soon.
Thanks
>>61529996
Nah, none have felt right under the fingers/in the hand.
I've played a couple that sounded really good, but the necks were awful.
I can wait - I took ages to find a tele that was right - Pic related

I see you have around 3k there in gear. You could have had pretty much the same experience spending only a fraction of that if you had gone for a SX Furrian and an Agile AL-1900. That's well under $400. Imagine getting all the saved money in god tier amps and pedals. You can buy a lot with $2.6k.
>>61530124
Hello Kurt
>>61530146
>if you say good stuff about Rondo you're a shill
I have some news for you mang, Rondo guitars are actually gud and well constructed. Tone comes mainly from the amp and pedals, and even in case you didn't like how your guitar sounds you could swap the pickups for the best ones you can get and it would be still cheaper.
>>61530124
It's okay, anon I already have a god-tier amp, and quite a number of nice pedals.
Thanks for your concern, but I am quite picky about the guitar i buy and generally wont buy one that I haven't played.

>>61530221
How do you compare the DiMarzio leads to non-braided leads? I've been using them as my main long leads for a few years now but I can't really tell if they're lasting longer or not.
I love that they don't tangle though.
>>61530431

The actual Rondo shill will show up later I guess
>>61530431
I don't know anymore either, but you're right about the tangling though.
I've got heaps of leads lying around including some I made up myself and none sound any better or worse than any of the others, I'm too lazy to replace them because it just werks, but the Dimarzios feel much nicer.
I'll buy more at some stage I guess.

It's a tough world out there son, good to see you're learning that.
>>61530318
I had one of those
It was the coolest looking guitar ever and the neck was really good but the pickups were so awful I sold it. 10000% ice pick. I should of just put some different pickups in it first tho...
it also had a giant paint fuckup on the back that looked like someone had tried to fix a mess up with white out before the clear coat.

anyone here play acoustic fingerstyle guitar?
what tunes do you like to play, and what guitar?
I play on a pretty cheap guild (chinese built)
I like playing stuff by john fahey and mississippi john hurt and currently learning a composition by a guitarist called ragtime ralph.
also, does anyone have recommendations on acoustic blues /delta blues guitarists similar to john hurt that focus on softer fast picking and not on hard strumming

Right lads, I need a new amp, looking for something that sounds like a bassman cranked but at bedroom levels. gotta be valve
What's the point of a loop pedal when I could just use a daw?
>>61530042
Mustang Standard is a hardtail stopbar/w tune-o-matic bridge. And it's nice for an American made under, $800. 100W is a lot, you won't be able to crank it. A Roland Cube is worth a look as a practice amp, Save for a valve amp.
>>61531956
>Bassman cranked at bedroom levels
Doesn't exist. What you wrote doesn't really make sense. Any valve amp will have to be cranked loud-ass levels to get that power-tube saturation mate.
>>61531911
I got a bd-2 which is pretty good
>>61531962
Ergonomy. Lugging around a computer isn't very practical when you can just spend 80 bucks on a looper that fits in your pocket.
>>61531971
>Any valve amp will have to be cranked loud-ass levels to get that power-tube saturation mate.
Headroom usually depends on the wattage and how powerful the power amp is. Cranking a 1w amp isn't really neither hard or loud.
>>61531911
I had a LMB-3 and it broke after a month
I also had a Boss power supply that I paid 20 bucks for like a retard and it ALSO broke
I suspect the two are related and it might be my fault but really I've never done anything but plug that shit in 120v outlets
In short, fuck Boss
>>61531493
well you sure can't beat hurt for finger style blues. Good to see someone here who doesn't think the only kind of blues is Chicago. Skip James is your man. Lovely fills, and seriously inventive compositions for the time, a pioneer of open d-minor tuning, and preacher vocals. I can't play john hurt for my life. you should post some clips, tell /gg/ all about it.
I want to get a decent shortscale elec between £100 - £300 maybe 400 if I really like it
Anyone got any ideas? I've always preferred smaller guitars since my first ever one was tiny
>>61531911
Depends on the pedal itself. The HM2 is godly for death metal, even though it's probably useless everywhere else.
>>61532009
Squier Mustang, also I'm not sure about Danelectros scales.
>>61531993
>Headroom usually depends on the wattage and how powerful the power amp is. Cranking a 1w amp isn't really neither hard or loud.
Obviously yeah, but there isn't really a 1w amp that'll sound like a Bassman cranked. A lot of those low wattage EL84 amps have a terrible breakup. If you want a bassman-"like" tone he'd wanna look into a 6l6 amp, lowest wattage variant I know though is a 35w combo which still gets ridiculously loud at 9 o'clock on the master vol, before you even get barely any power-amp saturation.
>>61532009
jay turser mustang if you're willing to put a lot of work into it. The switches need grounding, and frets are as you would expect from that price. Pickups are shit. Bridge is nice though.
>>61532089
How about using a volume pedal at its lowest point possible in the fx loop and cranking the amp ? How would that sound like ?
I would like thank an anon that recomended this album last week ( not to me, i was just lurking)

Harley Bensons are nice, plus they're sold from germany. They don't have phase switches, pickups are actually good for some reason. jay turser is pretty bad stock compared.
>>61532179
you jealous you can't shred the bass like he does?
>>61532245
He says himself he's completely missing the whole purpose of the song though.
>>61532245
I don't even play bass
>>61532179
He's just memeing you dolt
>>61531927
I love Robbie Basho, but I find his playing really hard to even try to imitate.
>>61532006
I really like Skip James. That's a good call, I haven't tried to play any of his songs yet.
I'm not good enough at playing any John Hurt yet. I've been learning Joe Turner Blues and Let the Mermaids Flirt With Me.
Maybe once I can play them properly I'll record a sound clip of it if anyone is interested.
>>61532152
>>61532245
I don't like him for the same reason I don't like Wooten
His tone is such that his shredding is just fret noise and not nice to hear at all. Sort of ruins the point of being a virtuoso and probably reinforces the bullshit popular opinion that bass solos suck.
He should take a page from Claypool's book
>>61532309
i play guitar but i can't really think of any bass solos i actually like
the most i can handle is stuff like john paul jones on the lemon song, i think that's more impressive than any type of solo bass piece
>>61532309
It fits when playing metal imo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PvGJn_MJhA
>>61532322
I like that solo from pictures of home
>>61532127
Most FX loops go between the preamp and the poweramp so a volume pedal would work like a master volume, wouldn't be able to push the tubes unless it was at high volume once again.
You COULD use an attenuator but I've yet to come across one that doesn't seriously color/shit on your tone and they happen to kill power transformers (also happen to be very expensive pieces of gear to buy)
You'd really be looking for a single, maybe dual channel amp with 6l6 powertubes, and you'd wanna push the fuck out of them, not many ways you can do it.
>>61532237
tfw I can afford to feel that hybrid rainbow
>>61532387
>>61532127
A compromise in the end would be an Overdrive pedal, depending what sorta sound you're going for there'd be one to match.
>>61532387
i think eddie van halen used to do stuff like that
he'd fuck with the power source so he could crank the amp without it blowing everyone out of his room
>>61532322
bass solos can't be approached like guitar solos and are easy to do wrong
somebody needs to pick up your slack since you're no longer exploiting your instrument's rhythmic properties. basically to compensate for the fact that you're lead now. could be the guitar switching parts/stopping altogether or the drummer playing more heavily.
here are some of my favorite examples of this at work
https://youtu.be/uE1zgrMdxBE?t=58s
https://youtu.be/FsDjr4iJBiA?t=5m7s
https://youtu.be/5NJZre-2QBE?t=3m29s
even done properly I understand that they're not everybody's thing though
>>61532237
I can't speak for the guitars but got my brother a HB J-Bass recently and it's nice quality for the price.
Anyone got a Roger Mayer fuzz? what's it like compared to the dunlop fuzzfaces?

>>61532414
What happened there is EVH bought a 100v Marshall but it was actually set for 220v. He'd be able to crank the volume/drive getting the power amp saturation while it would stay just quiet enough to play smaller shows since it was running at half voltage.
>"On the dial you could crank it up to 140 volts or down to zero. So I figured, if it’s on 220 and it’s that quiet, if I take the voltage and lower it, I wonder how low I can go and it still work. Well, it enabled me to turn my amp all the way up, save the tubes, save the wear and tear on the tubes, and play at clubs at half the volume. So, my Variac, my variable transformer was my volume knob. Too loud, [makes knob turning sound] I’d lower it down to 50."
There was a myth for a while he made up where he said cranking it to 140v was what he did, which will actually fuck up your amp seriosuly.
>"I told people the complete opposite. I told them I raised it up 140 volts. I felt so bad. I felt so f—ing horrible, man. They said, “Please don’t attempt what Eddie Van Halen said in the last interview, because everyone was blowing their amps.” Everyone fried their amps ’cause of me. I felt so bad. I never lied again after that"
Of course this was all before amps had master volumes keep in mind so things are a bit different now.
>>61532526

What is the bar in this picture extending off of one of the tuning keys?
>>61532543
Can't play it yet m8, that's why I'm practicing it. But guitar wise it's not really complex when compared to the bass part.
Ain't got anything to record it yet either

>>61532543
>Everyone fried their amps ’cause of me. I felt so bad. I never lied again after that
evh the master troll
>>61532543
so he was basically using the variac as a master volume knob?
Every time, after 3-4 months of changing the strings on my strat, the high e string starts making this weird ringing, warbling sound, that sounds similar to the sound you get when you raise a pickup too high. What do?
>>61532714
pluck the string and see if its making the sound without an amp.
i had something similar, turned out the nut slot was too wide. if you hear buzzing above the nut, like a sitar type of resonating weird sound, your nut slot is too wide and you'll have to fill it.
>>61532736
It sounds normal without an amp.
It's more audible on higher frets and when using higher gain settings and the bridge pickup.
I know this sounds like the pickup is raised too high, but the strings are 3 months old and I haven't touched any electronics on the guitar for years.
>>61532809
then its just the strings, change them
>>61532834
This is like the 6th time this happens. Are ernie balls just shite?
>>61532854
Personally I've never had a good experience with them, they rust quickly because I play a lot, and they're darker sounding than D'Addario
>>61532576
I know right? seen that video before, my guess is that it's some sort of zero fret. I can't imagine what else it could be. Hopefully someone else knows.
>>61532854
i don't know what it is with ernie balls, but i have never liked them
i just stick to DR or d'addario. DR strings are what i prefer, but they're a bit more expensive and i only put them on if i'm playing a gig or something
Failed my new years resolution to stop playing guitar and bass and bought a 5-string fretless bass.
Help lads
>>61532576
looks to me like a string tree/string bar to keep the string angle correct or slightly tighter, it should probably be straight down the strings but it looks like it came loose some how
idk that's what i'm guessing. i don't know what else that would be
>>61532953
what an odd resolution
>>61532978
Guitar and bass offer me limited to no musical growth, mostly due to the idioms I'm interested in playing are very different from the idioms I wind up playing gigging as a bassist or guitarist.
Shits fun though yo
>>61533010
You talk like a fucking idiot. You should make a resolution of not posting here anymore.
>>61533099
Cool, might do that actually.
Never head anyone discuss gigging or the musical idioms they are pursuing here anyways.
I have my doubts that there are more than a half dozen people on this board that actually play a musical instrument, you certainly don't.
>>61532714
might be a problem with the nut or bridge
does it only make the sound when plucking the open string?
>>61533099
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_idiom
>>61533149
>Never heard anyone discuss gigging
Do you ever read these threads? Gigging and touring comes up every over thread.
>>61532626
Tbh because of the internet and the wealth of information we have there aren't many companies around that can rip people off anymore so prices for things are pretty accurate to what the quality will be like.
Ultimately you get what you pay for. I'd say if you set up the agile to play very well I'm sure it's a fine guitar that you could use to gig. Just don't expect a custom shop guitar or anything.
This is coming from someone who likes budget guitars.
>>61533229
Never really seen it discussed beyond one or two infrequent mentions and I've been popping into these threads at least weekly for a couple years
>>61533010
>>61533193
Never knew this had a name, but what would be the thing you aren't able to play on a guitar ? As far as dynamics and technique go, stringed instruments are pretty versatile
>>61533257
An instrument's idiom is the musical styles and genres that are "naturally" or traditionally suited for that instrument. Like Double Bass in Jazz and Classical or Electric Guitar in Indie Rock and Punk for example.
>>61532245
>Jealous of someone that moves ahead of the beat whenever he plays fast
k
>>61533257
>what would be the thing you aren't able to play on a guitar
Its more that I'm not interested in the guitar's idioms, I'm pursuing classical piano if that settles it
>>61533239
>reads one thread a week
Mystery solved. There was a guy who did a big tour near the end of 2014 and gigging is mentioned pretty frequently.
>>61533350
So one other guy that we know of ?
>>61533337
Then just wear both your guitar and bass and tap some piano sheets.
But seriously if you play piano there's some interesting stuff you could play by tuning in New Standard Tuning and going the double tapping way. But even that is still far from piano.
>>61533400
>double tapping way
no one should advocate for that meme way of playing guitar
>>61533400
I also play Sax as my main melody instrument. I don't even listen to any guitar music anymore, just play because I like to gig and (almost) all the gigs I get in Toronto are for bassists and guitarists
>>61533359
That was an example.
>>61533333
>>61533420
Double tapping arpeggios like you're trying to play the sweet melody of a crowded casino is boring, but when used melodically it's decent. Saying any technique is better than an other is dumb though.
>>61533424
IIRC Allan Holdsworth originally wanted to play sax, so I don't know it might lead to some good results.

I'm looking through the classified ads around me right now, someone is offering a Zoom B2 multieffekt for 35€, I could probably get it for 25€ or something. I've never owned or tried any effects, is that thing decent if I just want to try stuff out?
>>61533832
Honestly for that price and if it works why not? You probably won't get any real use out of it but you could have fun and who knows, maybe you'll find something you really like
Do I need to adjust the action on this as a beginner? E note is giving me trouble
>>61533901
I just want to know if it's worth anything or if it's pure trash. 25€, while not much, is still too much to just throw away on something that sounds terrible.

what's going to stop you
...other than your neighbors
>>61533832
And some finds, but I doubt that any of them are worth looking into:
Höfner bass from the 60s, solid body natural finish, no more information, one PU dead. 220€
Stag bass, with a generic hardcase, 100€
Tune Bass Maniac from 1990, 190€
Klira Bass from the 60s, 150€
I like the idea of having an old, beat up bass that I could mess around with and experiment on, but I'm not sure if any of those are worth the asking price.
>>61534505
i'm afraid I'll just get frustrated and go back to playing guitar, just like I did when I tried to git gud at drums

>>61532322
I kinda gotta agree on that, bass solos are kinda boring unless it's more just something groovy to fill the space
>>61531911
No. For the price they are great, if they were $150 or more on average I'd say no. I have a Boss FB-2 and TU-3 on my pedal board and they do their job just fine.
>>61531911
Boss has good tuners and good delay pedals, but otherwise nothing really noteworthy these days

I'm sure there are some demos or reviews online. Check them out

Thanks, it seems like it's a Gravity 4 by the body shape, and I found someone else who had one with golden mechanics. I think new ones sell for 500€ or so? 110€ is not a bad deal honestly.

>if they were $150 or more on average I'd say no
Some of their pedals are literally that expensive tho
What's the best 1x10 or 1x12 tube amp between $500 and $750? I just tried a Marshall 1x12 tube at GC earlier and was blown away. After what's soon to be 10 years playing now I think I'm ready to go tube.

Yes. And not worth it. I bought the RV-6 a few months ago and sold it, totally not worth it.
I'm using a fucking Behringer rverb pedal now and it does everything that thing did and more for $50.

>>61534813

Or, you know, ignore it? Who cares, many people here are on the lookout for cheap used gear, and it's not like these posts were doing ANY harm, at all.
Why even bother when you'll never be this good?
>>61534920
A dead person can't play better than me right now. Sadly.
>>61534920
god i hate flame designs on guitars

Don't hate. Appreciate

I got a Rondo guitar the other day and I really like it, and I want to get another one but you assholes have made me scared to do it
Do you guys go on any other guitar/gear forums?
How can I listen to something and immediately play it back on my guitar without having to fuck around finding the right notes? I want total recall and the ability to play it back perfectly (like Mozart could do)
>>61535212
[spoiler]/r/bass[/spoiler]
I know there's at least half a dozen of us here too.
>>61535056
If you're in the US you can send them back
>>61535212
TGP, Rig-Talk, HRI, GAB, Groomed Noodlers
>>61535216
Not having to fuck around with it is not something you should aspire to do. Don't try to make the guitar so easy, the difficultly of it is what makes a great player. I only know very basic music theory and I can figure out the chords and little lead melodies to most music I listen to in a matter of minutes just by knowing through ear training what key it's in. The rest will come naturally. Don't be one of those edgy music theory scholars who condescends himself and others with his technicality and intense focus on playing. Feel the music more than you try to "know" it.
>>61535212
yea but i never mention them here because i actually act civil on them
>>61535228
yeah I'm pretty active on there. its pretty shit tbqh
r/drums, r/guitar, and r/guitarpedals are even worse though.
r/guitarcirclejerk and r/guitarpedalsjerk can be pretty funny at times
who /paul gilbert/ here?
I'm listening to his mash up of Ain't Talkin Bout Love and To Be With You right now.
They recently uploaded his solo rock albums to spotify. Really good, fun music right there with excellent playing. Alligator Farm is my favorite. Acoustic Samurai is cool too
>>61534893
behringer rv-600? I think I'm going to buy that because all of the boutique reverb pedals are like 150 usd+
>>61535392
I don't really like his music but he's a good player and seems like a fun guy
>>61535392
I love Paul Gilbert. One of the few shredders I can actually listen to. He's a great teacher too.
>>61535392
I'm not that much into him but he looks like a real nice guy. Plus he has some good ideas about playing music itself.
How should I slap these differently? For the "Seinfeld slap" part I'm thinking just pop the quarter C's and slap the middle one. But what about the other one? It's electric bass for the little mermiad.
>>61529968
That looks like the sort of guitar Robert Fripp might consider playing in the 80's, before getting rid of it and going back to his custom.
Any of you family with Richie Kotzen? Pretty good guitar player and decent voice
amp nerds pls help.
Turned my Sovtek on today and it had some crackling and popping, it died down after maybe 30 seconds. I go back maybe 3 hours later, turn it on again and it's cracking and popping pretty fucking loud. It's louder than my guitar with my master at below halfway. Same amp that the tech did a shitty ass job on.
>>61535552
>decent voice
He has a great voice tone, he needs to work on his song-writing though.
My pickups are finally coming, /gg/
>>61535476
I'd probably do that as well or pop all 3. Are there horn shots at the same time?
How much have you spent on pedals, /mu/?
>>61535727
get new tubes
>>61535552
I listened to some Winery Dogs
Oblivion is excellent. Rest of their debut album is just... bland
>>61535864
They're literally brand new, maybe a month old with ~20 hours of play.
>>61535851
600ish and only 1 of the pedals i've kept
>>61535778
yeah me too
>>61535056
Why not just spend that money on something better?
>>61535883
prolly caps then
>>61535851
0.00 of any currency.
>>61535939
Why desu senpai?
>>61535957
Because I don't have a use for them right now.
>>61535851
Probably in total over all the years 1k, but that's before counting in ones I've traded sold or given to a friend. Currently my pedal worth is ~650-700ish, not including the ones not in my chain (Rocktron Silver Dragon and a Noisemaker Sludge Maker)
>>61535851
2much, two of my strymon pedals let alone were almost 1k + a shit ton of pedal (but i sold a few as well)
>>61535851
~100bucks
EHX metal muff, Behringer EQ (which surprisingly, is broken right now)
>>61536050
>Behringer
>broken
>surprising
>>61535417
No. Behringer DR400. It's a combination of really good reverbs and delays. 12 channels total.
>>61535899
because im poor and want a thinline tele
>>61536086
That was sarcasm. It's nothing bad, just a loose wire but I don't have a soldering iron with me and always forget to take it to my friend's house.
>>61536167
Shoulda got the Squier thinline telecaster off Sweetwater. You can split the cost into 3 months on SW, which is great for people on a budget. That's how I've afforded most of my gear recently.
>>61535552 is okay but he's no >>61535392
>>61536205
payment plan or not, still over double the price m8
>>61535851
I currently have a ns-2, a crybaby, a sd-1, and a "keeley" model ds-1 all I bought used so like $200. I only use the ns-1 and every now and again the sd-1.
how do i into the TC ditto x 2 looper. im slowly learning. but my loops always seem a little off. also im using a shitty spider 3. is that why it sounds like garbage. what amp should i get thats good and 100-150$
>>61536258
>*modded
>>61536318
>good and 100-150$
nice joke
>>61536341
okay anything better than a spider 3 thats decent for 100-150$?
>>61536318
Loops are difficult to use.
Count the beats off in your head,
It goes like this for example:
1 2 3 4 *1* 2 3 4
First thing you shoudl do is play whatever it is you're going to loop and as soon as you come around the beginning of the next progression you start the pedal, then youd play until you get back to the "1"/the beginning of the next progression and press the pedal again. It's hard to describe it in words. The reason you play it a bit first before starting the looper is because if you try to begin playing and starting the pedal at the same time it's ALWAYS off.
>>61536418
that actually makes sense thanks bro
>>61536411
Any Peavey Transtube, I have the Rage 258 and it's 25 watts of gorgeous little tone for a great price. Peavey makes quality gear, plain and simple. I haven't played anything else that sounded good amp wise for under $600 than a Peavey.
Someone got a good reference how to learn guitar? Been practicing on my own but I think I could progress faster
>>61536526
Never had to learn from the internet but justinguitar is the most frequent recommendation I see
>>61536526
Take lessons for a couple years.
They really are an enormous help.
>>61536576
Thanks, I'll have a look
>>61536581
Might take lessons later. Want to see if I stick to it first
>>61534860
Hot rod deluxe
>>61536247
don't bother, the squire is just as good/bad as the Douglas except the squire's nut is a bit lower. both still need to be filed down further so who cares. as always US warranty disclaimer XD now u can't meme me XP
axe fx ii vs kemper kpa vs aplitube vs guitar rig
What should I waste all of my money on?
>>61534785
Found it, it's a Fernandes APB 90, so made in Japan somewhere in the 90s. Hmm, for 100 bucks I guess I'll see if that one is still available.
>>61536732
Get some snapback hats, scarves and some black nail polish. Style comes first f a m

It's not "ironic shitposting", it's being facetious to make a point. At the end of the day it's true for there are faggots here who compare Rondos to 2k guitar. Better to make their points and smash them from the start. Don't get me wrong though, there are scenarios where Rondos make sense. For example you're better off with a Rondo than with an Epiphone Special or a Squier Bullet.
>>61536732
out of those? Axe FXII probs, if you can find a good power amp. Kemper after. Guitar Rig is free by the way.
>>61536892
>Guitar Rig is free
even if you're suggesting piracy (which is illegal btw) I'd still need to spend hundreds on decent monitors and an audio interface.
>>61536942
oh and a midi foot controller too tbqh

Are you ironically shitposting? Because I can't tell for sure.

Cool story bro
>>61536971
latency and no preamp
it's like you WANT me to sound like trash senpai
>>61537065
No, you sound like trash because you're a bad guitarrist.
>>61536954
not really, but I can see the appeal.
>>61536942
Asio and a guitar/USB cable work. I use my headphones with GR5 just fine. you should have monitors ANYWAYS if using it for home recording so that should be null.
>>61537065
are you prototyping or trying to record professionally
because if you're doing the latter why the fuck are you asking /gg/
>>61530042
The "your first guitar should be a hardtail" thing is just a meme. Many people start with strat copies and have no problem. Just don't get a cheap Floyd Rose equipped guitar because those are garbage. Cheap ibanez edges are shit too. Those bridges operate on a knife-edge so if it's made of cheap metal it ends up getting dull and is unable to keep the tuning.
>>61531962
You get to play over the loop on real time, it's much more practical.

Les Claypool sucks. Try Billy Sheehan or David Ellefson instead.
Can some anons help me?
I was making a simple song for an improv sesh but I remembered the
0 - 3- 4- 5-
on the low E string is a part of a famous pop song.
Whats the name of that song again? Not trying to bait or anything, I know its really famous but I don't know the name and there isnt a reverse tab search. I'm guessing a lot of songs are like that but there is one I'm sure I've heard before and I might have been using too many parts of that memory in it.
how much should I expect to pay for a monthly practice space that's secure with CCTV if we're not sharing it with another band?
We're in a major west coast city (not SF)
Let's say a 10x10 room
>>61537065
You're gonna basically always have latency when you play through a PC.
>>61537319
Here its 300 or so, that's in Houston mind you - and we split the cost between the 5 members of our project, so it was about 50 a person? 60? something like that. not bad, especially when you can literally go there at any time and leave whenever.
>>61537305
hero worship is stupid and your post is dumb juvenile trite
>>61537334
I get 2ms latency during live monitoring, pretty much indistinguishable from plugging straight into the amp
I've never done it on Windows though. Does it even support realtime?
Anyone remember a thread a good while back where the idea was you actually play something and record it to /mu/? One drunk guy started taking requests for nmh songs.
Anyways, I kinda used that as inspiration for learning how to sing as I play, and I finally was able to. I learned Holland 1945 and itaots and this is amazing, I don't think I ever had as much fun as I did the past few days learning and belting out these songs. I think I'm going to learn some songs by Jack Johnson and king of carrot flowers next. Any other suggestions for fun, sing-able songs?
>>61537317
I know that -0-5-6-7- is in the intro riff to bloodhound gang's kiss me where it smells funny. Are you thinking of that?
>>61537443
Live monitoring of what? I'm talking about guitar rig mostly

What's /gg/s thoughts on Gary Clark Jr.?
>>61537364
>worship
Are you trying to deny they are great bassists who knows how to solo?
Also I forgot to mention Alex Webster. Primus is boring as fuck, bunch of Zappa wannabes who can't make interesting music because they are too focused in virtuosity. Pastorius sucks too, if I wanted to hear farts I'd just go to Taco Cabeza and get the full experience with smell and all.
>>61537334
You're gonna basically always have latency when you play
>>61537577
my vocabulary isn't up to par because I didn't learn this shit in english, so sorry
live monitoring would be the playback from your PC in this case. live as in instantaneous and not on stage.
the point I'm trying to make to the other guy is that latency on PC can be low to the point where it doesn't matter at all.
>>61537684
>Are you trying to deny they are great bassists who knows how to solo?
I'm saying a musician doesn't have to be good at the expense of another
your opinions on music are utterly inconsequential and the fact that you don't realize this is a dead giveaway of your immaturity and shitty outlook on life
that, and forcing your hero worship bullshit in a discussion that's very clearly about tone and not technical accomplishment
as a result, anything you might say, on matters subjective AND objective, calls for immediate dismissal
>>61536963
doesn't look ugly to me and further, >>61531112

What the fuck is up with all this rondo shilling lately?
>>61537552
No I was thinking of Surfaris, Wipeout, just remembered, feel like an idiot for not realizing my song was so similar...still a hack then.
Alright, I'll get my old mic out. Any sound recording software you recommend /gg/?
>>61537963
what the fuck is up with all the rondo reverse-shilling also?
is this how worked up you get when cheapo instruments are mentioned? I mean that's a pretty lame thing to be mad about
I've never played a rondo or agile and probably never will but I wouldn't chimp out at the mention of squier or gio
>>61535392
I don't love his music but I love his ability to play music if that makes sense. He seems like 10/10 total bro too and I would love to meet him and just hang out. Basically everyone is saying that he's the nicest and most humble person ever too.
Icemans are pretty frigging boss too.
>>61537963
how is posting that you want a rondo shilling? Christ. If you didn't find it so goddamn offensive we could talk about it like any other brand.
>>61538041
Lol. Calm your tits. I've been lurking for the last couple of days and the rondo talk is worse than gibson or fender talk ever was.
