By the way, the Floyd Rose Setup Video Tutorial has been removed. Dunno if there's a good one.
Should I make one for /gg/ in case there's none?
if anyone thinks they can tackle this lmk
>>65356183
I don't own a FR guitar, but I think it would be nice if you did it.
>>65356183
Not OP but I have control of the /gg/ MediaFire/YouTube. I'll see if it's a problem on my end or if the original videos were removed tomorrow.
I like guitar, and with enough practice im gonna be big, screen cap this post and put it in the op.

>>65356205
You'd need to double tap this, so I'd say it's more for piano than guitar.
Also why D# Bb? and Drop C?

its a tuning i made for guitar, and yeah check the vocaroo link i posted, it def sounds nice on piano!

it sounds like a dumb version of the charlie brown theme song
>>65356604
yeah no it doesnt...
try harder kid
>>65356638
lol are you deaf
Now that I have an LP... holy fuck my wrist is in pain. I never would have thought before that LPs aren't comfortable to play sitting down. And the thickness of the neck makes my wrist hurt in it's muscle memory position for sweeps and other gay shredding.
How the fuck does Alex Lifeson do it in an LP.
>>65356660
wear a strap when you sit down so it sits better. it's a really shitty design to sit down and play with.
>>65356660
Angle the neck away from you rather than flat against your chest.
>>65356670
Yeah, right now for playing in the upper neck I have the right side of its butt (the knob side) sitting in my right leg, and I have the pup switch section in the direction of my chin. So like 45° angle while sitting in my right leg, kinda like spanish guitar when you don't have a left foot rest.
>>65356660
It's probably just your technique. If you play with your thumb behind the neck 100% of the time it's going to be uncomfortable. That technique works on thin flat backed necks (like on an Ibanez or classical guitar)but with a fat Gibson shaped neck it will most likely hurt.
I like playing with my thumb on the side of the neck
>>65356649
yesterday i posted it and people said it sounded like some oriental shamisen tune
now its charlie brown
tomorrow it will be death metal...
>>65356757
stop posting it then?
>>65356763
nah. literally you were the only one that has had a problem with it so far.
Why do bass strings require so much tension? They're longer scale for the lower notes, I get that, but then you still need super thick strings because they have to be at 35-45lbs of tension. Why does a guitar work just fine with 15-20lbs of tension on the strings? Different play style or what?
>>65356638
Not him but it sort of does, more like a song you'd har in clannad if you slowed it down
>>65356763
This, if you don't want to hear this stuff don't post it.

Will those swirly "nebula" and other space inspired named finishes liked by djentlemen *tips 8 strings* become classics in the future or will the fade into obscurity like swirls and chameleon finishes that we had in the past?
>>65356858
the rolling bass stuff is why it sounds like charlie brown, not the piano tone. and i'm pretty sure that is the same chord and key from the charlie brown song too.
i don't know why you're posting piano music in here, the only way that can be played on guitar is to do the double handed tapping crap and everyone here mostly hates that style
What's the deal with scales? What are they good for?
>>65356849

do i need to go back to a tripcode?
i used one to specifically avoid this exact thing, but got absolutely shat on whenever i used it.
you people confuse me.
>>65356877
I don't think anything can become a classic anymore, considering most classic guitar designs and finishes are from the 50s and 60s. Even the stuff that might be considered a classic from the 70s is still pretty obscure to people who don't play guitar.

American Standard Telecaster
SG Original II
Custom B-bender Telecaster
Larrivee D-03R
Washburn R314KK
Phin (Thai dulcimer)
Seagull Merlin (dulcimer)
MESA Lonestar Classic 2x12
MESA Single Rectifier 50W
Laney IRT212 Cabinet
I usually use the SG w/ the Single Rec/Laney for gigging, the Tele w/ the Lonestar for jamming/writing/recording, the Larrivee for writing/recording, the Washburn as a travel guitar, the dulcimers as coffee table toys, and the Custom B-bender Tele as a museum piece (terrible to play, needs a complete restoration).
I get away with using only a single SM57 because I only record acoustic projects at home. A second mic to catch the reverb and room ambiance would be nice but I'd rather save that money to buy more guitars, I'm mostly satisfied with the sound I'm getting. I haven't run into any issues with weak low end, in fact I often find myself dropping the low end 6 dB every time I record rhythm with Larrivee. I'm still very new to mic placement, the sound quality may be good but my mix is usually all over the place (https://soundcloud.com/epoch6).
>tfw i want a high-end electric guitar, but we don't have grounded outlets, so any guitar will sound like shit anyway.
>>65357035
How do grounded outlets affect tone? They just prevent you from being electrocuted
>>65357035
You can still enjoy it though. A large part of what makes a high end guitar high end is how it feels.
>>65357001
That's not a fucking tripcode. God I hate /mu/ sometimes. I wish /gg/ was in /diy/ or something, even if a bit off topic. You couldn't pull posters from a worse place than /mu/ if you tried.
>>65357012

>>65357073
i dont fucking know what its called nigga lol chill
>>65357014
Shouldn't have asked, I'm envious now.
Great collection mang.
I would welcome a condenser as a pair to the SM57. That way I could play with placement, SM57 at the neck angled and condenser to the soundhole direct, which seems to be the popular way to do it.
That said, the SM57 is so well rounded that it gets me by with everything I do, shitty vocals, shitty amping, shitty acoustics.
>>65356849
>Most critique is negative by nature
That's the whole point of it, you can't get better if you already think you're the best, excessive ego leads to boring composers/players, look at yngwie malmsteen
anyways, lol fuck all the bullshit heres my gear
>>65357150
everyone always shits on malmsteen, but i honestly think jason becker is even worse than him. he's like malmsteen with 10x as many sweep arps thrown in everywhere, it's fucking awful
>>65356594
I laughed.
>>65357035
>we don't have grounded outlets
In what kind of 3rd world shithole do you live in?
>>65357035
Most "high end" guitars are nothing special anyway. If it's got notable features(the sort most people hate) The price can be justifiable, but most of the time what you're paying for is just looks/prestige. If you want performance, the set up and fretwork is just as good on a cheap guitar that's seen professional help as an expensive guitar that's seen professional help.
By the way, two prong outlets are still grounded, they just don't have the neutral/ground redundancy thing. I don't know how that works exactly but you should be able to get buzz free performance with the outlets you have.
>>65357189
But sweep arpeggios are the epitome of guitar music I don't get it. Isn't this guy just better at guitar?
>>65356123
Has anyone got some useful lessons/exercices for two handed tapping ? All I can find is the regular boring shred type of doing trills with the right hand.
>>65357241
>most of the time what you're paying for is just looks/prestige
I feel this is the general opinion because of Gibson and Fender and their reissue, vintage, relic and all other bullshit.
Would never justify the cost of a R9 Gibson but I would tolerate a Tom Anderson or Aristides.
>>65357241
>two prong outlets are still grounded
"No"
You have phase and neutral on 2 prongs, that's it.
>>65357306
Find an arpeggio you like, or just a scale.
Run the roots/bassy notes with the left, low in the fretboard (aka above the 10th fret) then run in the same arpeggio/scale the rest of the notes with the right hand high up in the fretboard (past the 12th).
>>65357306
I'm interested in this two. I saw tapping used interestingly in some math rock or something group, and I don't really see it as a gimmick anymore. That said I don't really listen to math rock so maybe it will be useless for me. I'd like to mess with it anyway, but my so far limited experimentation hasn't produced... fucking notes. Tapping seems hard.
>>65357344
Agree, besides those two, almost everyone else's high ends are properly high end and you can feel the quality instantly.
>>65357344
It also depends on what you call high end. Diminishing returns are obviously a thing, but going from a typical 800$ guitar to 1500$ or 2000$ is still noticeable IMO, after that it's mostly the same because you get a "perfect" guitar in that price range (or you get 98% of perfect)
>>65357350
neutral is ground
>>65357014
>>65357124
If you're mainly recording acoustic try an AT4040 or an SM7. They don't have the high end roll off that an SM57 has. Can use the 57 to get some slightly darker room noise then too.
I've had brilliant results with SM7 and they're built like tanks too. AT4040 is just a personal favorite of mine in the condenser world.
>>65357189
Becker's technique was very heavily legato more than the Malmsteen style sweeping. He also had a lot of feeling to it. That and Becker is a really nice person, Malmsteen isn't.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lR1tt24mo4
>>65357367
I get the general idea, but I can't exactly come up with anything, which is why I'd like to find some lessons to practice it
>>65357370
hit the fretboard harder, you're not picking, which is why you're making less noise
>>65357400
Honestly in terms of playability it's hard for me to imagine a difference between an $800 guitar and a $15,000 guitar. I mean, I guess if that $800 guitar was loaded with features to the point you couldn't get good fretwork + those features at that price... But for the sake of debate, let's just say both guitars have been leveled/crowned/polished/set up by a competent luthier. Where are the differences in playability coming from? I think at that point you get into stuff that's just preference like shape of the neck.
Well, I don't doubt that there's plenty of $800 guitars with sub par fretwork, but really you ought to be getting perfect frets at that price.
>>65357562
>but really you ought to be getting perfect frets at that price
You'd be very very surprised.
As for price range differences I agree with >>65357400
Is there any cheap way to connect guitar to android phone without larency problems?

Not him but my house was built in the 50's, shit wasn't common back then. Yet these houses sell for $500 000-1 000 000 because they're close to Stockholm. Economical crisis inc yo.
I don't even have anything relevant to say, I just wanted to blog a little.
>>65357053
you get tons of noise in the amps when you don't have grounded outlets.
>>65357562
Pretty much everything bar shitty gios and axls sound the same
>>65357673
They're my favorite dynamic microphone. I put an SM7 on one cone, and two SM57 on another, one straight on, one at a 45 degree angle.
Just be aware there is a slight tonal difference between an SM7 and an SM7B (what they sell now). Odds of running into an SM7 aren't great though. Built like tanks though.
You also do need a fair amount of gain for them. Some interfaces don't seem to put out enough juice.
>>65357741
Tried something like a Furman PL-PLUS CE?
Anyone tried a laney lg20r? What did you think?
>>65357350
>>65357241
that's only true if you have a TN-system.
here in Norway, we use IT most often, which means there are no neutral cables, just a ground and three phases, and in older houses such as the one i live in, the owners just straight up didn't care about grounding properly, which means none of my outlets have ground, which makes having audio equipment a nightmare.
can you ever have too many overdrive pedals and stomp boxes in your chain??
>>65357973
Use power conditioners like >>65357801 recommended.
>>65358059
yeah. too many can cause alot of unwanted noise
i dont keep more than 8 pedals in a chain but thats just me.
>>65358059
When you get a bunch you need one of those controller rigs to eliminate noise from cables and pedals when they're off. They mostly work really good though.

Swap one of the two on the right for a crybaby and you have the most basic pedal board in the world.
Also drop the fucking name faggot, that's not even a trip. Not that a trip would be better
>>65358138
true but didn't mean all pedals overall
i meant it to be overdrive and boost specific like if i have a Xotic EP Boost going to a chain of
DOD Analog Overdrive
Fulltone OCD Obsessive Compulsive Drive
Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer
Boss BD-2 Blues Driver
and let's say a Analog Man King of Tone
i liked their stack sound
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40iM9vqAIOg
and those are a list of pedals i've come to like through watching videos
i only ask cause i have a Tube Screamer but found a DOD overdrive for 50 bucks and i was wonder for that good of a deal that it won't fuck up anything
>>65358258
thanks those add an eq pedal before and after the effects also help?
>>65358443
uh, it is a crybaby
and here we go again with the name lol, nah im good bro.
stay mad?
>>65358503
Haha you're literally like a parallel to crazyaga
Fuck off faggot
Your guitars are shit too. Aren't you the one with all the broken shit?
>>65358459
well you can always just swap out the overdrives when you want to use one of them, thats what i did when i had both a tube screamer and a metalzone.
>>65358334
Don't validate his existence. End of story.
Is it worth it to spend $420 on an agile 3100 vs $300 on a used epi lp standard? Ill probably end up playing on a peavey bandit 112 or a cheap tube amp at best.
>>65358539
none of them are broken, someone said that in another /gg/ thread when i had a pic of them all laid out. i have no clue what you are talking about.
and i think i will leave the name on, it seems to get all the autists riled up for some reason...
>>65358443
If you were cool like me you wouldn't even know a namefag was here, having filtered him already. Namefags are a blessing for keeping the thread free of shitposting.
>>65358587
Good point, I'll do that
>>65358546
300 for a used epi lp standard?
thats ludacris
>>65358459
personally i wouldn't put that overdrives in one chain, i don't really see the point. maybe two for different types of overdrive, but that's it. i gain stack, but i do stuff like overdrive+fuzz or overdrive+distortion.
i guess something like that could be fine if you're just staying at home and recording songs, but it would just be easier to swap them in and out
>>65358623
>>65358587
im not shitposting at all here but go ahead and do that
>>65358546
Depends what you want out of your guitar. Strictly speaking, assuming you actually want all the features, it's worth the money. The bridges are really nice. But personally I would go for an older neck through model. Obviously best case scenario is to find an agile used, or b-stock. Your patience might pay off.

You don't actually use your guitar pedals while wearing shoes, do you /gg/.
I don't wear shoes in the house and I always take my shoes off for gigs so my pedals always stay clean. Also let's my control knobs with my toes if needed.

nope. just fx. it's great so far, i have to get used to it before i take it to a gig but the sound is pretty great, even ODs and stuff that's usually not so great in modelers

That's going to be a solid improvement, it's the only thing I don't like about your guitar.

Oh, yeah there's no ground on the power cable it's as simple as that but literally no one in my area works on amps it seems. I'd have to drive somewhere at least a few hours away.
I might start playing stuff that needs tube sounds soon though so maybe I'll get it looked at
Why do some people swear by tube amps? Theyre over priced and sound like shit. The guy in the shop tried to sell me one by saying its what hendrix used to sound cool...
>>65360114
It's for the overdrive, in short. IMO crappy amplification in general, but if that's the distortion you want go for it.
>>65359830
looks like a piece of shit from the 60s.
Just buy a Yamaha senpai
>>65359830
I'd pay a fifty maybe, the neck is banged up, but since he isn't negotiating just don't bother.
What the other anon said, just get a yamaha, they are cool.
>>65360114
Well there's a certain kind of overdrive and compression that they offer but a tube amp by itself doesn't mean anything, they were the standard for years so of course there's also shitty ones.
Any good amp is going to be pretty expensive, though. A good solid state is probably at least $400 or $500 at cheapest and a good tube amp head is going to be $600 or more most likely.
It's worth investing in both depending on what kind of sounds you're after. But I definitely stand by solid state modeling amps mostly being shit, I like amps that have their own unique sounds and quirks, not a cheap imitation.
How diverse are the effects in different whammy pedals?
I'm looking to get one to go with my Bass Big Muff and Boss-dd7 delay. I'm playing bass guitar and trying to make some noise rock so the crazier the sounds i can get out of it the better. I'm also thinking about getting a pitch shifter in the future (like an Earthquaker Pitch Bay) and i'm not sure how well that would work with certain whammy pedals.
Would really appreciate some advice and recommendations for whammy pedals.
>>65360198
>>65360379
Which Yamaha? I don't wanna spend more than $60 t b h
Here's an update, I managed to get it down to $60. If it's playable, should I?
>>65360114
I swear by tubes not because of their mystic perception but rather because of how well they take some effects.
Some (pedal or not part of the amp at least) effects just don't ring or sound as nice in SS and especially bad in Software/Profiler based amps. Classic example is overdrive. Overdrive in SS does nothing amazing, but in tubes it sounds nasty in a good way. You'd get that sound in SS with a distortion instead, but it's hard to find a nice distortion that works well with SS because they tend to clip horribly most of the time.
Another for me is some kinds of reverb or any kind of out of phase effect (chorus, reverb, delay, phaser, flanger, etc.), they tend to ring differently. Not all of them, but some of them do because they overdrive the tubes in a way.
Also, for practical reasons they are cool because the designs tend to be simple, it's easy to play with, and if something dies you can replace it with not much problem (same goes for the more analog like SS amps, not so much for the software based ones).
Also, not all of them are overpriced, and there was or still is a boom for bedroom tube amps, you get great sound, your pedals work super nice, and it doesn't cost a fortune nor are they unnecessarily loud.
>>65360510
Have you looked in ebay or some listings for an used Yamaha C40?
Check before you go to this dude's place. If you don't find any Yamaha C40 for super fucking cheap, then go for it.
>>65360510
Wait, you know what, lemme check listings for you, give me a couple of mins and I'll show you what catches my eye.
>>65360510
I wouldn't, too much of a risk for a beginner. In your situation I'd get something that I could be fairly certain is going to be halfway decent rather than gamble on something that could be utter shit.
Do you want it just because it's old? I know nothing about electric guitars but with classicals, there's basically no reason to get an older entry level guitar over a newer one. It only heightens the risk of it being shit.
Anyone here got a Squire VM Mustang? How is she?
>>65360438
It's best if you're aiming for crazy to get an expression pedal changing any parameters you want. Look into the zoom b3x or a similar higher end modeler. The shit you can do is insane. Cool thing about the b3x is you can add an expression pedal to it to have two separate controllable parameters.
>>65360706
Electric guitars haven't really changed much, apart from getting lighter. You're better off buying used unless a newer entry level guitar has a decent quality to price ratio.
>>65360722
I have the body of one with a mexican jag neck, seems pretty decent. The pickups aren't anything special but they sound pretty decent.
Switches do feel a bit cheap and the knobs probably need tightening. I'm going to replace the bridge with a tune O matic and I think I'll just throw in a real dynamic vibrato.
>>65360690
>>65360621
Thanks. I'm in west Las Vegas.
http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/msg/5575859643.html
Also I found this, looks pretty good and I texted the guy and said he'd give it to me for $65. Some forums say CG101s are better than C40s, is this true?
>>65360722
I have a MG69 Mustang, it's very comfortable to play and I love the bridge pickup. The vibrato is surprisingly stable.

I was typing this before your last post:
Gotchu familia,
I can say that Hohners are alright:
http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/msg/5601807740.html
We like them here in Germany.
But yeah, that CG101 looks good, go for it. I mean, don't expect to be blown out of the water, but it's gonna be enjoyable.
Also, have you gone to ed roman guitars? I'm just asking since I've never been to vegas but I remember that fucker because he was this guru of guitars back then.
So I went and got myself an Ibanez S470.
It's sweet and I love it, plays like a dream. I'm already thinking of rewiring it to make it more convenient though.
>>65361308
add in a push/pull if you already don't have one
>>65361020
Thanks, I'm gonna pickup the CG101.
>Also, have you gone to ed roman guitars?
No, they're closed to the public and you must make an appointment if you want to buy or browse their inventory. I'm not really a fan of his stuff so I've never been there.
>>65361478
Yeah, that's basically what I'm gonna do so that I can get 5 way all single coil.
>>65361747
If you're not afraid to drill, you can add an extra bass contour knob to get even more tonal options.

Is it possible to damage an amp(or speaker) to a point that it just has much less power?
I've played my combo pretty loud over the years. Activating the clip light a lot. And yesterday I was jamming with a friend and I felt like my amp was way quieter than normal. On top of that, I couldn't even get the gain past 10o clock without the clip light remaining lit
>>65363646
>that some guy on /gg/ seems to collect.
Gearspammer ?
>>65363675
Pushing your amp to its limits isn't all that good for the speakers. As for the amp itself it'll probably make you go through tubes faster, but if you change them there shouldn't be any problem I think.
>>65363675
I've fucked up combo amps plugging a bass into them a lot. Too much watts or something i dont know. The speakers didn't break, but the brains fried.
>twf my edge machine arrives tomorrow
Jackson pro king V with SD distortions. I think the €450 I paid is a decent price.
>>65363736
Not sure if it's Gearspammer. I don't think he has a lot of guitars despite the tons of pedals he has.
>>65363675
The clip light doesn't react to the speaker at all, so of the clip light was clipping sooner the problem is probably with the amp rather than the speaker. Speakers can be damaged over time by loud play, but I don't think that's what's happening to you.
>>65363859
he does
>>65363787
I like those things... I'm currently saving for a warrior.
>>65363937
Did he have any decent one or just odd shit?
>>65363859
I remember him posting about aluminum neck TBs and even having an electrical tenor guitar, it wouldn't surprise me if he had a few teiscos
>>65363787

> ass guitar
>>65363736
Now that I think about it, I think it'd be hard to damage a speaker from a combo since amp power rating generally matches speaker load. Clipping wouldn't matter too.

I had an issue with my MESA Lonestar last year where I lost most of my power, with the output and master volume cranked all of the way at 100W it would only reach bedroom volume. Ended up being a blown 12AX7 pre-amp tube.

I'll repaint the strat white at some point, if I'm drunk enough I'll just have some white stripes on it to look like that guy from Deep Purple, Jimmy Page.

Maybe the tips even, but I think I have a stand for it. Can always keep it in my heavily padded bass gigbag as well, planning on getting a case for it anyway at some point.
>>65364363
>That jackson looks like a toy tbqh
Which one?
>>65364374
Not to mention it's black, and also a trem. There's so much they can fuck up, it's really a bad idea to start doing headlesses like that.
>>65364416
Ola Strandberg took his time before introducing a trem.
Although I strongly feel the chinks just took an existing guitar and reverse stole most of it.

ummmm....Silvertone 1448 semi-hollow is one of my tops. Its case has a 5 watt tube amp built into it, its small scale and comfy, unique combo of materials and lipstick pup yields a sound that to me is pretty great.
These are pretty common, i think. Pretty good deal for like $3-500 maybe...dunno what they are actually going for these days.
>>65363787
Where the fuck did you get this for 450 euros??? Ive been looking for a decent king v for under 500 for ages

guys I have a question. I need to play van halens eruption at my sisters wedding next month what kind of cheap guitar could i get to play that song with? i am supposed to be going to berklee for music but i dropped out to get high everyday instead and now i need for my dad to see me doing something impressive

>>65365198
that amp has really great sounding tremolo too. the 1304 is a favorite too, but these were a limited model and harder to come by, maybe? middle pup location gives its own sound compared to the other neck/bridge models
>>65365289
9/10
