>>62032240
My guitar teacher had me read all the notes in a piece aloud, ignoring sharps, flats and note values. So it was like, "a g f g d f a b g c f d f a."
Rhythmical articulation was treated separately but in the same way... " 1 & 2-e-&-a 3-trip-let 4 &-a."
Last basic block is knowing all the notes on the fretboard. Then you put it all together. By the time you get here, it clicks.

>>62033411
SXs are made in China, Agiles in Korea. You can't go wrong with either one of them, thanks to the superior Asian craftsmanship. It's true that CIA guitars are the best, but that means Crafted in Asia.
>>62033444
god, I hope so
>>62033395
>yeah sure. Squier shill detected.
Not him but they won't honor returns if you live outside the USA. So the whole "if you don't like it send it back!" only really applies to clapistanians.
>>62033379
The cheapest South Korean factory for the Agiles. A step below World Music.

Probably Agile but even then I'd opt for a different Korean made guitar.
>>62033440

Nah, Indo imports are really 50/50 at best depending on the brand, only brand I've found them to be really bang for buck is Schecter Omens which are great modding platforms + come with in-house Schecter pups which sound aight for a cheapo. Usually a MiK guitar from World Music is gonna give you your best value for money.

Fine, you're a nazi sympathizer. Your agenda consists of influencing others to your way of thought. And if anyone dares oppose you, you ridicule and harass so that they think twice before doing it again. Well, I don't give a shit. I call them as I see them.

I get you don't like memes, but Messer Chups is hardly "nazi". They are a RUSSIAN band that plays neo-50s SURF ROCK with some psychedelic and 50s B-movie soundtrack influences, including the usage of theremins. Their music videos are B-movie inspired too. There's hardly anything "nazi" about them. If I really wanted to trigger you hard, I'd have posted Hanzel und Gretyl instead. Pretty sure they are actual nazi sympathizers despite their claim that it's just about aesthetics. Or I could have posted some Johnny Rebel stuff, although it's shit tbqh.
No matter how much I practice and how fast I get, I still can't play chords without setting my fingers on the strings one. by. one. every. fucking. time. Makes me wanna FUCKING CUT THEM OFF!!!!

Who Should Buy a Rondo Music Branded Guitar Guitar: In general, these guitars are great for beginners or novice players to learn on. They are all full sized (same size as a standard electric guitar or bass guitar). They stay in tune and the necks are straight. They are also good for expert players who need a guitar to “kick around with”. Something they can bring to a friend's house, and not worry about scratching, like they would with a $1000 American made guitar. In general the Brice basses and Agile guitars offer slightly improved quality and some upgraded features (such as maple quilt tops) over the SX, Douglas and Valencia models. However, the cost of these models is higher as well.
>/gg/ is shit

Guys, started playing a week ago, bought the cheapest Cort strat on an impulse (Cort G100, 100$). Was it a mistake?
>>62033991

>Who Should Buy a Rondo Music Branded Guitar Guitar: In general, these guitars are great for beginners or novice players to learn on.
Just like almost any guitar. I'd rather have an affinity than a rondo though
>They stay in tune and the necks are straight.
Not always the case. Also they have had lots of problems with truss rods that ship stripped.
>They are also good for expert players who need a guitar to “kick around with”. Something they can bring to a friend's house, and not worry about scratching, like they would with a $1000 American made guitar.
An Squier is better for that.

You're better off with a Classic Vibe for that price range.

>>62034018
The only thing that is bothers me, is at the shop, they told me, "it is already setup". Later found out, the shop owner meant the Cort manufacturer's default "comes as setup" feature. To be honest, even after looking videos on youtube, I can't decide if it is setup properly or not, but the funny thing, if a professional setup cost 50$, it is half the cost of the guitar.
>>62034144
If it's poorly setup you'll learn after a while ;^)

what >>62034185 said
neck bow, saddle height and intonation are piss easy to do yourself. just go in small increments and you wont fuck shit up. remember to detune a bit before doing anything that'll stress the strings. plenty of youtube videos out there on the subject.
what you want to pay for is fret work and possibly electric stuff depending on how good you're at that. and of course, repairs.
>>62034144
Just measure the distance from the low E string at the 12th fret, if it's 3/32 or 2mm or less and no fret buzzing, ur good.
>>62032365
Why is the girl on the right not playing a strat. Did she stole the guitar from Satriani.
>>62034299
I will do that
>>62034328
I can't check it now, but I think it is more than 2mm, 4-5mm at least.

why dont you go play guns n roses you faggot
so i bought one of these used yesterday for $100, thinking about flipping it but might keep it for gigs. Do they actually sell for good money online or did i fuck up?
Does anyone else runs in two distortions at the same time ?
I'm running an EHX micro metal muff infront of a micro dark terror and it pretty much compensates a lot the lack of controls the amp has, I can pull off a surprising amount of gain styles with it.
>tfw 2/3 of your rig is micro
>ordered a rarewood 5 string bass

>huh, I also want a fretless somehow
>but I want to mix things up, so let's get a "fender clone" looking one
Help guys, I mixed up my clichés. Also, I don't see a point in buying a 4-string anymore, ever. Once you get used to it a 5-string is just as easy to play and you just turn the B-string into a thumb rest if you don't need it.
>>62036535
4 and 6 strings are pointless. 5 string 4 lyfe
>>62036535
is it bubinga?

>>62036548
I wish I just bought a 5 string for my first bass, there is no reason why a beginner should stick to a 4 string if they have even a slight interest in ever getting a 5-string.
>>62036553
No, walnut top with mahagony body and an ebony fretboard.
>>62036565
I don't think so, no.
>>62036535
I feel the same for 7 strings, the lower string barely makes the neck larger and doesn't get in the way when playing, while giving a lot more options for chords or arpeggios.
I haven't tried 8 strings so I don't know if it's still true for them.
>>62036602
Because I'm poor and can just bend if I want to play out of tune.
>>62036602
I want one but I think it'll be just like the time I defretted a neck, a cool gimmick for a while but it's not worthwhile unless you plan on devoting yourself entirely to mastering it.

I have three ODs and a fuzz.
Currently trying to find an order that allows for the most stacking combinations across my different guitars.
Almost finished layering the primer on my guitar project. Fucked up the paintjob the first time because I was too impatient, now really taking my time. Neck is completely done, except for holes for bolt on..
Yes the concept is stolen from the Bluetone strat, however that one has a white body, this one is lightblue..

It's called Son Montuno. Most of it is just major and minor chords with lots of double stops and 3rd harmonies for the leads.
My suggestion would be just to listen to a lot of it and try to figure it out by ear, it's not hard. The guitar wasn't really common so you'll have to listen to "Tres" music to see how it translates to a fretted string instrument.
Arsenio Rodriguez, Duo Los Compadres, Papi Oviedo are good starting points.
(or if you want a white boy pastiche on guitar check out Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos Postizos)
>>62037476
A better answer than I could have hoped for, thanks man. This will keep me occupied for a while.
>>62037474
Indeed. He dropped it headstock first and the neck split down the middle up to the 2nd fret. the amount i was getting quoted for repairs was the same as a new guitar so i just decided to move on. the worst part is he didnt tell me he just kept stalling on giving it back, so i had to go round and insist on getting it back and that's when i found out it was broken
>>62036565
How would you even go about to play something like that? Unless you're a fuccboii who puts markers on their fretless
>>62036602
I would, but apparently my neck of the woods is running short of haberdasheries. No matter how hard I try, I just can't find a quality fedora to save my life.

I think they go for 300ish on ebay? That's for the pink one though I dunno what the black one goes for.

>>62037749
fuck, my bad. wasn't a "custom" like I said, but a "studio". the guy in the shop told me it was a custom way back when and i just never looked at what it was actually called. it was £600 so nothing like the higher end les pauls you're probably thinking of. still felt like my soul was ripped out of my body when i saw it with the headstock hanging off
>>62036882
Depends-how long are you willing to practice?
It takes about 500 hours of focused, dedicated practice to become competent, and 1,000 hours of practice to start getting good and fluid.
If you only pick up your guitar every so often, it'll take years and you'll never get anywhere.
If you play for hours day after day, you'll start getting your act together after just a couple of months, and sounding really good and fluid after 6 months.
>>62037888
Ah I have a studio so I guess i can feel with you brother. Still, the tele looks delicious, any reason you went with it over an LP clone like agile or vintage?
>>62037728
Not sure if you missed my earlier posts or not, my primary acoustic is a Larrivee D-03R. I have tried a couple of their L series and one O series as well, I love all of them, it's hard to go wrong with Larrivee. I find each series sounds relatively similar to the next in voicing, the most significant difference is obviously variations in low end due to body size. The smaller the guitar the less low end you're going to get, but I don't think you would be unsatisfied with any of them, they sound great and balanced regardless. L series and O series are certainly more comfortable to play.
90% of the sound in this track is my D-03R.
http://picosong.com/8qvc/
>>62037728
Yeah I really like them, comparable to a high end Martin. I was going to buy one until a found a good deal on an all solid wood custom Martin.
If you're patient you can find used ones for a steal.
>>62038054
Just felt like something new and I've always coveted a tele for no particular reason. that's a gorgeous one in that pic
>>62037728
Also note that wood variations in Larrivee's make a pretty significant difference in tone. Make sure you compare each one that is available to you, especially the difference between walnut back/sides to rosewood back/sides. I played an OM-3 with swamp ash back/sides last year, it was fantastic, felt great, sounded great, and looked very unique.
>>62036939
neat. You don't waste any time.
>>62038353
That orange pickguard is nasty though....
Would look much better with an anodized gold guard imo
>>62038473
Yeah that orange is too garish for me but hey, each to his own
>>62038353
nope, just finished the primer, going to wait till tomorrow 11 CET to paint first blue color. might post the paintjob once I've completed it and it doesn't look bad.. ordered a loaded pickguard with lace sensors, should arive friday/tuesday, I painted the old pickguard orange just to test and it seems take the paint just fine. Kinda want to install a new bridge but don't have much money left. Already invested way too much into this project anyways.
>>62038064
>Not sure if you missed my earlier posts or not,
sorry. pretty long thread.
have you had the opertunity to compare mahogony and rosewood L series larrivees?
how do you think they would work out for pretty subtle fingerstyle guitar?
I've heard great things about the versatility and build quality of the L series
nice dreadnought btw.
>>62038528
I have compared mahogany L series to rosewood L series and I prefer rosewood for both tone and appearance, however they are significantly more expensive, at least they are where I shop. I ended up finding my dreadnought used on Craigslist for $1000, which is fantastic considering it's a Limited Edition build, 1 of 12 made with bubinga binding / inlays in Vancouver before Larrivee moved to California. If I were you I'd go for Craigslist once you decide on a model and just make sure you get a chance to try before you buy.
I find L series and OM series easier for fingerpicking than the dreadnought, they're much more forgiving in terms of positioning on your body. As for tone, I seriously doubt you'll be able to find a Larrivee of any shape or size that doesn't satisfy your ears in any picking style, besides the very occasional factory slip up they just don't make bad guitars, period.
>>62038886
I've always found that limited edition guitars sound better.

Does anyone have tips for learning how to sing while playing? I'm currently trying with In the Aeroplane over the sea because it's only 4 chords but as soon as I start adding in the lyrics I fuck up everything.
Is there an easier/slower song you could recommend?
>>62039550
I've asked around for the exact same thing and the only response I ever got was that the song needs to become second nature. Practicing to the point where it necessitates zero concentration.
>>62039550
In my experience, the easier songs are the ones where both vocals and guitar follow the same pattern
>>62039550
I started learning to sing while playing on About a Girl (Nirvana) and while difficult, it wasn't impossible.
>>62039550
The most important thing is knowing how to play the song on guitar with your eyes closed and to learn every word to the song you are trying to sing
If I ever forget the words while I am singing, I start fucking up at guitar
Does anyone know if i can install a tunomatic bridge on a neck through that has no neck angle?

Hold down a wah pedal and record through a dollar store mic
>>62039345
Buy the cheapest guitar you can find. Then get a cheap heavy metal distortion (Boss Metal Zone for example) into a crate practice amp. Record with a computer headset, that's it.
>>62040507
>>62040451
Thanks for the input. Do you think its necessary that i buy a different bridge? if it is, i probably will. I just dont want to install the bridge only to find out my strings dont lay right with the neck. Id rather not have to recess because my tools are fairly limited.
>>62040639
You could try using a Ibanez-style hardtail bridge, which is basically the same they use in modern Teles without the ashtray. Or, alternatively, you could install an ashtray.
Looking to buy a first bass and am sitting in the $400 range, I might go higher but it would have to killer deal. Would really love to get a spectrr or warwick but:
Looking at a Squire VMJ just because it's cheap and I know I'll suck. Thing is everyone says no matter what you want play it first. I don't know anyone that plays bass and I don't have an ear for tone.
How the fuck am I supposed to know what tone sounds better when I can't play shit or I don't know what sounds I'll enjoy playing? I can't trust the cunt at the store the $50 more always has better tone or some other shit according to that cunt.
what do?
>>62037728
being a fatass I prefer cutaway smaller size acoustics but every larrivee has sounded absolutely fantastic regardless of wood combo
>>62037167
they just call it giving the neck relief, btw in case you try this...don't to it the other way.
>>62041372
there's nothing wrong with a VMJ but I would suggest starting on a 5 string. If you like a lot of music you might be surprised how many songs require that lower string
>>62041459
>there's nothing wrong with a VMJ but I would suggest starting on a 5 string. If you like a lot of music you might be surprised how many songs require that lower string
And it also spares you the alternate tuning bullshit for the most part
>>62041372
By $400 I assume bass and amp?
I'd get a Squier VM in PJ configuration (single coil and split coil) and a small combo. Both used. There's plenty of good cheap basses but plenty of bad ones too, so if you have nobody to shop for you, best to go with something safe and ubiquitous.
Good amp brands to look for; Ampeg, Eden, Peavey, Gallien-Krueger (if you're lucky) and of course Fender.
Do make sure if you buy a used bass that the neck isn't fucked and that there's no obvious damage. Any other default or quirk can probably be fixed.
>>62041372
Then don't listen to the cunt. Make your own opinion. Try every one of them on a decent but not overpriced amp with flat eq and mid gain. Then you'll see for yourself. Even if you don't know how to play, just hit a note, see if it sound good to you or not. It's not all about the sound too, you gotta be confortable on the fretboard.

>>62041530
I got a buddy out of state that said he'd ship me his old ampeg. So $400 is the range for the bass.
>>62041643
Awesome, but way too expensive.
>>62041643
they're hideous and overpriced
90% of the boutique guitars I see going for JET prices don't have as many innovations or features as the JET Earlewood, and are also completely hideous.
>>62041713
If you're going to spend the entire 400 you can upgrade from a Squier. Lots more options there.
What kind of music are you looking to play?
>>62041735
nigga do you work for JET? You're certifiably insane if you think they're more innovative than Teuffel.....
>>62041717
I wonder who buys these things, have never seen people play them.
Or perhaps most major guitarists are very conservative
>>62041713
peavey's basses are thin necked and the Ibanez SR series is pretty thin too.
what type of ampeg amp is it?
>>62041819
that's fucking hideous and ten grand. HIs "tonebars" do literally nothing by the way
>>62041892
>tonebars
Aren't they just fancy armrests ?

I don't know, he doesn't have a cell phone or I'd text him. His dad played bass for years, got a new one and gave him the old one. His dad always bought high end stuff though so I'm sure it's good.
>>62041735
>JET Earlewood
some luxury Gibson-like piece of furniture, at least these guys work with metals and do it in unconventional ways.
>These Features Are Found ONLY On JET Guitars::
1. The top wood is joined to a chambered body with a peaked shape. This gives JET guitars their characteristic rich, complex resonance. They weigh less than thick carved tops, too.
2. The 24th fret is a brass plate attached to the end of the fingerboard. This way you get 24 frets, without knocking the neck pickup out of its sweet spot. Why should you be forced to choose one or the other?
3. Direct mounted pickups are trimmed with exotic hardwood. No ugly holes showing, and better microphinic coupling.
4. Output jackplate is recessed into an angled bevel, and points upward. duh...
Wew mate, such innovations...
>>62041819
Does it float?
>>62042042
I should add I think his dad was more of a jazz and blues guy, does that matter for an amp?
>>62041713
music man basses have thin necks. Also just to be a voice of dissent I would start on a 4 string. The 5th string is harder to play and generally very loose. I wouldn't call it a magnitude of difficulty over a 4 string but others downplay it more than they should.
>>62042163
You can't really go wrong with ampeg
>>62042291
I have an ampeg B2 from the 80s and it sucks ass. I'm gonna get an amp modeler to run in front of it. The preamp is underpowered even with my hottest bass.
>>62041877
guitarists are generally conservative but less so now, especially since using amp sims and more advanced guitars has taken off. Strandberg and Kiesel are getting big as well.
>>62041911
They're really good at it. as much as I love PRS SEs and CEs Paul himself is a complete bullshitter
>>62042079
>gibson like
>at least SOME of this is metal!
there is nothing but wood or metal on JETs save for the pickup bobbins, considering the birdfish is still made of wood for the neck it doesn't fucking matter what ugly spaceship metal they have going on
you googling things just to argue and not owning either of these instruments is pretty dumb btw
>>62042042
>>62042163
he might have an ampeg that is tailored toward a more mellow classic sound but aside from that you're still getting a really great piece of gear
>>62042235
i recommend 5 strings mainly because I started on 4 and when I hit my teens I started listening to a music that uses that B string and hated playing 4s because of it. 4s are much more comfortable though definitely
>>62042378
The B2s were never good ;_;
IMO if an amp doesn't take one bass as well as any other It's not a good amp.

what, that changes the quality of the lessons? just don't watch the blogs. These actually are the best bass lessons online, Apart from extreme basics.
>>62044327
The thin part is the nut/bridge width not the depth of the neck
>>62044413
I don't know what your reference is but it's wider than a Precisionbass which is generally considered 'wide'
>>62044247
Well that is a big reason to go 4 for me. But it's only $50 more for a 5 string vs buying a whole other bass to upgrade to a 5.
Fuck this is a hard choice. But thanks everyone for the input.

Count, "1 & 2 & 3 & / 1 & 2 & 3 & / 1 & 2 & 3 &" Strum the &s on an up stroke.
Now sing, "1 & 2 what a (&) / beau (& 2) ti ful (&) / face (& 2) I have (&)"
Just go slow and build your coordination. The actual guitar part may differ but you can fix it later.

Because he probably believes he's in competition with bigger brands in the same price range like Schecter/LTD/etc. Although considering they give better specs for the price I'm not sure why he'd do that.
Main problem is all those brands have a USA or Japanese custom/high-end shop. Chappy doesn't have that so there's really not much else to his brand name.

>>62045920
the chapmans are mad ein the same factory as the PRS SE models and various other brands, I know because if you check the back of a PRS headstock it tells you, that and if you watch a factory tour ou see them drying etc.
I think chappers needs a custom shop, I'm not going to lie I'd love to build guitars for chapman.
>>62046695
bs, you won't bend it into tune and you know it. I think a better solution to perfect intonation is fretless. It'd be cool to see a fretless with the perfect intonated lines drawn on it like fret markers. That would make you crazy while playing it though.
>>62046773

Its not that difficult. Just set slightly flat at the upper 5th and dig in a little when you're up above the octave.
