Old thread >>65467138
>>65476263
Dude really
shiet son I just asked this in the other thread. Aight lemme put it here:
>When you guys finger pick, do you rest your pinky a lot on the pick guard? Is that considered bad form or nah? I do it but I'm self-taught so I suck and don't know if that's a cringe thing to do
>>65476276
Yeah I do that. I only use 4 fingers anyway, and anchoring gives me some sort of stability. I don't do it when I use a pick though.
>>65476275
ignore it. someones desperate for validation
>>65476314
Yeah I do. I definitely take advantage of the brim on the tele bridge plate.
It's not bad form, don't worry about that. Just do whats comfortable
>>65476314
That's bad form imo, sometimes you'll want to play 5 note chords and that technique will limit you.
>>65476314
I do, but then again I think I fingerpick wrong because I only use my index and thumb and I see everyone else use all their fingers. I got used to it before I knew how to properly finger pick I guess
>>65476340
Saves me from reposting my gear tho
>>65476377
I'm this guy here >>65476352
Anchoring doesn't mean you have to stay anchored all the time. I rest my picky there and take it off to pluck 5 strings or strum. I still use my pinky often but it's nice to have a reference position when you don't need to use it, especially if you're playing while standing up.
we should post more gear /gg/
>>65476436
>>65476460
keeewl more gear!
>>65476436
I mean I guess
>>65476484
awesome! I have also purchased some guitar related products!
>>65476484
That the icp decimator? Heard that thing makes even the noisiest wasp-like distortion pedal dead silent.
>>65476518
You're responding to the same guy who's been posting your images. That's not Ausbro.
>>65476513
lol! isn't buying stuff and taking pictures of it so much fun?
>>65476436
How about we discuss guitar techniques out musical theory instead?
>>65476513
Oh shit we got the same style room, the paint, couch with a framed picture above it, guitars on couch lol

I think I have my own /mu/ intern. While he's posting for me he should grab me a coffee too
>>65476588
what exactly do you hope to gain by spamming peoples gear? ausbro doesn't even post that much and he's always helpful when he does
>>65476590
he has a bunch of them was seven or something
>>65476618
excellent idea!
My HM2 Broke. Shit...
The LED light turns on but I'm not getting any signal through pedal bypass or with pedal on. Already checked the inputs and output, is there something obvious that I can check? I don't think getting this pedal repaired is worth the cost desu...
Only thing that looks kind of suspicious is this diode, does it look burnt to you guys?
Post my guitar too
>>65476679

>>65476674
It's a sign, maybe you should play some better genres
I don't know how to help you, sorry. Do you have a multimeter?
Would I be crazy to put a p90 bridge pickup in my strat? I don't mind the bridge sound from it right now but I've never been 100% partial to it either. I do like the sound of p90s though, especially when overdriven and distorted. I was thinking of using a Kent Armstrong Stealth 90 specifically
>>65476734
I have every pic from every /gg/ thread, you'll have to be more specific.
>>65476653
Wonder why 7... i hear it's quite desirable. I don't think it's THAT incredible. It's better than the metalzone i suppose tho, but i feel the metalzone is more versatile
>>65476674
Hard to say. It shouldn't cost much to get fixed. It's an old design and everything on the board is huge and easy to spot.
Were you running it off batteries or a powerpack? Gotta remember to run 12V AC in and not 9V DC.
Thoughts on fretless basses? I just find it fun to play overall although it can get a bit tricky keeping the pitch right when having to stretch across notes. Pic related, my Rogue Series III (White)

It's the only way to play death. Gotta love fretless bass sounds
>>65476734
Yeah I have one but I'm basically clueless when it comes to schematics .
>>65476792
I was running it on a 9v onespot, dumb I know but I liked the power starved sound, didn't think it could break the pedal since it was less voltage.
>>65476847
and?
>>65476850
What?
>>65476812
Damn. Although unrelated, it is sad news for those who care like us.

Post your favourite gear pics from your collection then.
I'm interested

Wha? Not him but I thought 9v dc 500 or whatev ma center negative tip was ok
>>65476785
Bullshit. Post the pic that surf rock guy used to post under about 3 years ago. The guy with the tweed amp on top of his carpet in a little shack
>>65476963
There's been anything but shit posted here.
>>65477003
You'll have to be more a little more specific than that.
Well, got bored and made two videos. I'm lazy and made it another chord strummer and an intro to a song, lo siento.

It was a well composed picture, the setup the guy used was obviously for surf and even the surroundings had the surfer vibe. The amp was centered in the picture, with the guitar off to the side.

>>65476674
This >>65476792 you could probably work it out yourself if you're handy with electronics, otherwise I can't imagine it'd be a hard pedal to fix.
>>65476881
Can't say if it would or not, not something I know enough about. Why would you run it at 9V though? There's a lot of tricks to making the pedal sound better. Don't run everything at ten like people on forums like to say.
>>65476994
HM-2 take 12V AC in (the old BOSS ACA adapter) then it steps down to 9V DC internally. A lot of people mod them to bypass that so it'll take 9V DC in. The other way around it is to daisy chain it off of something.

>>65476881
I have an NES from like 1988. The tip on the power cord that plugged into the back of it was the same size as the boss ac adapter. Except opposite polarity. I broke a fab tone, tubescreamer (the older black ts5), and a boss dm-2 with it.
>>65477136
I didn't know the adapter was different
>The other way around it is to daisy chain it off of something.

Racist comments are ban-able offenses in worksafe boards
>>65477321
>I didn't know the adapter was different
A lot of old BOSS pedals use 12V AC instead of 9V DC. Just gotta check the underside.
>Sorry to sound like a tard, but how so?
This is how I run mine. Power goes into the KORG Pitchblack then using the out it goes into the HM-2 (as 9V DC). My understanding is the common ground bypasses the stepdown circuit in the HM-2 and you get full power from 9V that way.
Make sure not to have a battery in there at the same time though.
Using a standard daisy chain cable would be exactly the same but I use the small connector to connector to avoid masses of wiring.
>>65477377
you better run and tattle then ;^)
hey guys just bought my first guitar (same anon from last thread)
can you guys recommend me some more easy songs to learn?
>>65477582
Wish you were here
Wonder wall
Mr tambourine man

>>65477555
That's pretty neat. I didnt realize some had "power out" ports. Thanks
>>65477582
Nirvana songs. Nirvana is guitar kindergarten.
>>65477667
>That's pretty neat. I didnt realize some had "power out" ports. Thanks
I don't recommend using them if you can avoid it, but they're handy when you run into a pedal like the HM-2. Another common pedal to use it with is the NS-2.
>>65477582
Nutshell - Alice in chains
Come as you are - nirvana
Pink moon - nick drake
Fell on black days - soundgarden

>>65477667

Just in addition to this, I bought an NS-2 to try that method a go and wasn't really that happy with it. ISP Decimators handle HM-2s a lot better.
>>65477778
If it does the job what does it matter. I'd probably sand it a bit though, looks like splinters waiting to happen.
Friend of mine made a board out of diamond plate and it came out looking awesome.
>>65477825
yeah, i probably should sand that shit down tomorrow. i'm a lazy bum though so it may stay that way until i get one or two splinters in my fingers.
can someone rate my guitar please? I paid $7000

I've been trying to train my hands to play faster stuff again. Slowly getting there.
Hi. Just wanted to share my rig. Pls r8
>>65478077
I'd swap the Crown for a Matrix GT800FX or GT1000FX. Other than that looks solid.
>>65478164
Why tho? They cost like $400 more and achieve pretty similar results. Or so i hear..
>>65476549
>>65476588
you're a boring person and what you're doing is even more boring
>>65478235
That Crown is Class D, the Matrix stuff is Class AB. Unless you're going for something like a Mesa 2:100, or VHT 2/50/2 or 2/90/2 the Matrix stuff is the be-all-end-all for solid state poweramps at the moment.
We use GT1600FX at the moment for msot stuff although I use the poweramp from a DSL50 a lot as well.
>>65478077
What's the crown thing do?
It all plays out of the cabinet at the bottom?
>>65478056
cool board
your playing is ok.
how do you record your shit? just curious
any of you guys ever built one of your own pedal boards? how is easy was that? i imagine its not too hard unless youre getting really fancy with it
>>65478296
I'll look into it... Granted im not playing huge shows here (hence the 1x12) but i do want to learn the differences between the classes of amps
>>65478351
Just the actual board itself?
I havent, but if you have the wood and tools, it's easy. If you're gonna cover it up with Velcro anyways, you hardly have to worry about looks
>>65478329
Its a power amp that powers the cabinet. Yes, this is my live setup. It all goes through the cab
>>65478338
>cool board
Isn't mine, belongs to a friend.
>your playing is ok.
I lost a lot of control in my left hand after a brain hemorrhage last year. Pretty much all I've been working at since.
>how do you record your shit? just curious
Depends on what I'm doing. This might be a bit long winded but I'll try and answer it the best I can.
Most of my noodling stuff will just be AxeFX out via USB to my PC. I put my IR (ASEM V30) in the OP ages ago, although I run it in stereo on the AxeFX now you can get a similar sort of feel with dual mono in NadIR or LeCab.
For bigger sounding recordings I'll tend to run the output to a tube poweramp and mic up the cabinet. Used to just use an SM57 for that, but I tend to run two now (one on axis, one at a 45 degree angle) and an SM7 on another cone.
Everything fast is dual tracked, slow is quad tracked.
You can hear the difference between miking and IR pretty well on these videos. First is direct via USB, second is miked up.

>>65478510
>Attention Whore
you've been posting that pic in every thread for a while now bud
cool stuff though
>>65478379
It won't make much difference in home playing but the Matrix stuff is brilliant in a live setting. With a power conditioner it can be basically silent even with the shittiest electronics.
>>65478505
>damn anon. your playing is crazy good in that case, keep it up
Thanks man. Motorcycles and guitars aren't a great combination haha.

Taken my awhile to get to a point where I'm happy with the sound quality. Always room for improvement though.
>>65478510
>Beautiful LP Custom, not a huge fan of a custom over a standard but the silver burst with all the bling gets me going.
It gets fairly polarizing reactions. People seem to love it or hate it. Silverburst isn't terribly common in Australia which is a nice tidbit as well.
I'm hoping the guitar I've got on the way will play as well as it does.

Very nice setup. Would choose the same if I went the modeling route.
Just picked up a 1982 Kramer with a Floyd rose. It's lime green with metal flake pain. Just waiting on the whamy bar to come in the mail.
>>65478632
I know, and I will probably continue to do so, here's another.
>>65478659
I'm pretty sure the sole reason I pine for a LP Custom in Silver Burst is Mastodon.
>>65476743
Not at all, go for it. Strats were built to be modded.
Please remove your name when making a thread. I couldn't find this thread until I switched to another device.
>>65479000
It wasn't that guy. Someone spammed the last thread with his name and made this thread with it as well.
The jump from soloing/melodies over the key of the song to using modes, not like modes that part of the major, but divergent modes from "modes"/notes in the chosen scale of the key, is quite complicated and I'm not sure I get it.
I'm in E minor, just doing my thing in E minor.
And then I have a bridge in the loop which is basically just strumming C major.
Now, for E minor I know that C is lydian, but that'd just mean that I'd stay in E aeolian without changing anything other than theoretically the root of the mode.
So since it's a C major which I'm strumming, it's easy to use C ionian.
But that's a simple example for a simple loop.
I was just learning Pull The Plug (Death), the other day, and while it's in D minor, he does this thing at the start where he plays something that's a bit dissonant, not part of the D aeolian modes, then goes full to D minor BUT also not quite because he uses a D# for a bit in there... and then goes to his fifth and starts soloing over A harmonic minor while riffing in it too, simple stuff.
Anyway I guess the questions are:
What the fuck is he doing at the start and with that D#? was that just "punk" from his part in doing whatever riff sounded cool disregarding the D minor scale, or is there a bridge in theory I'm missing which "allows" him to do that in the scale.
And unrelated to the song, are there signatures/common resolutions for modes between chords? Say, a mode part of they major/minor key will obviously fit, and "a major/minor" mode of a mode so to speak, will obviously fit the mode in use before coming back to the main key. But the "others" like Locrian, Dorian, Lydian, etc. are a bit more complicated and don't always fit the current chord voicing and the context of the main key. Do you simply adhere to the clues of the chord? like if there's a 7th or 9th or something? but at that point you can simply extend the chord over the whole instrument for it to be a scale and play it, which doesn't feel "dynamic" so to speak.
>>65479000
There's someone using photos posted by others and impersonating them, he went all the way and even made the new thread.
>>65479056
I think the issue's there regardless. I don't mind the fact that my filter is working extra well, I just want people to post the OP without a name.
>>65479081
If it sounds dissonant, that's a pretty good queue. I'm guessing he was disregarding theory and playing what he wanted.
>>65478790
Can you post a pic?
>>65476125
Last thread there was a question about speeding up the ditto looper and you can, if you have the 1/2 speed on at the same time as you loop something it speeds it up 2x
>>65479190
Is there a theory to the dissonance, as in... is there a way to chose certain dissonant intervals with known "tension and release" within the key? or it's just all "fuck it I'm penderecky and it sounds cool".
I'm asking because I wrote a riff which also contains dissonance, not theory based, I just did it and it sounded cool in my head, but I have trouble coming up with a resolution to the riff or going into another key/mode and so I don't want to use it if the change is going to be sloppy.
>>65479244
I asked. What I really want though is something that allows me to control the speed of the loops with a knob, not just a double speed or half speed setting
>>65479357
That all depends on the speed you play during the loop, there's not a specific speed control
Nighttime /gg/ is bae. <3
Glad to see the thread finally on track.
>>65479272
A good guitarist friend of mine told me to care more about the musicality rather than the theory or follow the norm. I guess that there's where ear training comes into play, where you can tell that this or that works in the progression because it sounds good rather than it fits the rule or scale.
Sorry if the advice sounds shitty, I'm very theory limited and barely knows the basics. Working on getting better at the moment.
When I'm playing and I let off the string after playing a note sometimes the string rings out and it sounds really ugly. maybe the action is just too high on my piece of shit acoustic and I have to use too much pressure or is it something else
>>65479669
I've been playing "by ear" for around 10 years or so, barely knew only blues, major and minor scales. I can play quite well and I receive praise when I'm jamming with others.
Within my "experience field" I'm cool, I know what sounds and feels good and people like it.
BUT I feel incredibly limited creatively (when I'm writing alone). I want to understand the theory behind it because I think it will allow me to first understand it so then I can "break" it and be as creative as possible.
When writing I feel like when I come up with something nice, I'd like to expand it and complete it, but I feel frustrated because it becomes a "trial and error" kind of thing sometimes (hitting a wall) which takes time, and also because I feel I always end up playing the same thing, and I'm tired of always "doing my thing".
>>65479792
Even if the action is high it shouldn't ring too much if you let go properly, you're probably ringing the string by pulling your finger while letting it go.
If the action is too high then doing chords or simply fretting a note would be painful and annoying, if that's the case then fix the action.
If the neck has no truss rod either change to lighter gauge strings, and/or check the saddle height.
>>65479792
It's not the guitar's fault, it's yours. Gotta learn how to mute properly
>>65479881
I feel you are going through the right path then. It's going to take a while, the guys I Know that are capable of doing that have many years of experience and know their theory inside out. Still you can always feel like they have a safe zone where they fall into when theres a need for a creative break or space. I would think that the comfort zone just evolves to be more musically rich as you evolve rather than completely going away.
Anyways, enough pointless rambling, best of luck mate.

how long did it take you guys to feel comfortable with improvising using a scale in all regions of the fretboard?
>>65480245
> Implying only one guy posts birds here.
Thought you were asleep.
>>65480246
When I learned the scale over the whole fretboard.
Shouldn't take too long, either think of it as 3 to 4 patterns, learn them, and then overlap them, jump across them, etc.
So I play a lot of surf rock and garage rock. I'm looking for an amp that could do both either separately and most importantly simultaneously. Right now I've been looking at Fenders Deluxe Reverb, Bassman 59 Reissue, Hot Rod Deville, or a SuperSonic. Is also prefer something loud as low as 40w to 60w. Can anyone suggest any alternatives? My budget is under $1,000 but I'd prefer $500-800 used is fine too as long as the amps are reliable
What theory is actually practical? I've been self taught for about 2 1/2 years now but I've been studying a bit of theory and feel it's finally time to get a guitar teacher. Is this a good decision?
>>65477582
If you're that new, try pink Floyd or tom petty. Literally the most basic chords and strumming patterns but fun to play along with for a beginner.
>>65480246
>all regions
Still not 100% after 10 years. I have a few positions of the neck that I mostly rely on and can generally figure out other places when needed without flubbing notes too much
What do you guys like to focus on when you injure a finger? I sprained the index finger of my fret hand recently and can't play with that it at all, so I've mostly just been going through scales while it heals.

If you learn best from the human interaction, sure. Just try n shop around for a good teacher though. Some are just guitarist that lead a class with no real skill at teaching.
Personally though, just hit up the internet first. How I learned everythign, and while I'm no professional musician by any means, I can write a song with chord progressions in key, solo over it, and know what I'm doing.
Fretjam's articles were very helpful to me, can try starting there
So how skilled should someone be at guitar to play math rock ala ttng and hella?
>>65480489
Like 2 weeks of shredding at guitar center tier.
Can you recommend me a cheap clean amp for home use? I need one for my pedals.
>>65480367
Picking hand technique. Have a stab at funk rhythm or something like that. It's fun just to break your usual habit.
>>65478056

Wait why do these sound the same? in terms of rhythm? i really dont get it if a has 1/4 and 1/16 and b has only triplets?
Whats some easy songs i can learn that sound good and arent smoke on the water?
>>65481034
>that sound good
This is entirely subjective.
>>65481034
Buy a capo, learn C, F, G and Am or D, C, G and Em. You can play like every Song with these chords.
>>65480917
Because it's the same thing and just two different ways of notation. In the first each beat can be divided in three so you get that 2+1 rhythm thing going on, watch how it says exactly the same thing on top of the second example
>>65481034
It's hard to say what's easy without knowing your skill level. If you're looking for "campfire songs", I'd recommend going to the song section on justinguitar. There's probably a hundred to choose from on there and it's all divided up by difficulty stages.

does anyone have any experience with the Yamaha Pacifica 611 HFM?
it looks sweet as hell and doesn't sound bad in the demo videos.
what do you think about it?
>>65481848
Make it so.
ALSO; anyone have suggestions on an amp for stoner rock/metal? and preferably a smaller low wattage head (sub 30 watts), been looking at Marshall and orange so far.
>>65482166
They play well and are quite the versatile guitar.

Playing bass for 2 months any tips on memorising notes on the fretboard and scales?is it worth it?
>>65482232
You're playing bass, no one gives a shit about how good you are.
>>65482232
i remember when i had to fill in for a bass player in another band once, never played bass but bopy was it easy!
>>65482194
Peavey 6505 MH
>>65482232
With notes, start by remembering a few of them, the most important ones. The one's one the 5th fret are the easiest to memorize, then you have to 7-8-10 pattern on the E and A strings with B-C-D and E-F-G and then you have the opposite of that pattern on the D and G with 7-9-10 instead with A-B-C and D-E-F
Then just keep going with the rest of the wholetones, no point learning the semi's since you can figure those out by just knowing which note it's next too.
Also m8 ur a bassist who cares about scales just plunk root's
>>65482398
>playing roots
>not just joining a black metal band and getting removed from the mix entirely
>>65482232
Wait. A bass has more notes than E?

>>65482917

Your idea of heaven has pretty low standards, the badly painted grey walls and the shitty couch are a no go for me.
The gear is nice though.

Badly painted walls huh?
They look good to me
>>65483023
>My question is why are you running an hm2 with an axe fx
Why not? I use the HM-2 for my sound and the AxeFX doesn't have a way of emulating that accurately.
Clips are here >>65477136
>>65483319
Maybe it's the light reflection and the fact that you didn't sand off the imperfections.
But I'm just very special when it comes to walls (I prefer no paint myself).
But I do like the gear, did you install the Kahler trem yourself or did it come with it when you got the explorer?
If it's an esp I can imagine it coming with it, since they did put them on the jeff haneman models.
>>65483360
I got that explorer from a stranger off craigslist, I traded my epi les Paul for it. Dude said it was a 1980's aria pro II explorer copy. But it def sounds amazing, the pickups are waaaaay better than my vbt, the locking system will hold tune for ages, and besides a few dings and scratches, it looks sexy.
I was thinking about painting a balkenkreuz on it
did that guy ever get his bass he was waiting months for?
>>65476263
Fucking cringe, stop posting your shit gear
I stook up for you about getting bullied for the stickers on your guitar once,
I wish i hadnt
Can anyone confirm if this ESP is legit?
>>65477060
Post my mustang, strat and les paul.
I have an amp+cab stack and 3 combos.
I want to try to run through all 4 amps for live shows. What's the easiest way to do this?
>>65483612
Read the thread much? Wasn't me posting that.
What's your gear then? Feel free to post it :)
>>65483637
Pls respond. I am about to buy
>>65483637
>>65483728
I wish I could help you more but I would just send an email to esp with the serial and they will probably confirm it for you
>>65483754
Will take too long, I am gonna buy it tomorrow before someone else snatches it(very good price), and is also my dream guitar. I posted the pics on the ESP forum and they confirmed it was good
>>65483779
Go for it dude. I took a gamble on an guitar I wasn't too sure of either, and it turned out to be one of my favorite guitars!
>>65483425
I wouldn't, it looks great just like that imo, the kahler being a bit different is what completes the look I'd say.
The kreuz would make it look like one of those james hetfield models. But if you're into that kind of look, go ahead it's your axe in the end.
>>65483671
Maybe split signal into two, run them in a pre amp power amp config.
>>65483815
I will my man. Damn I don't think it's healthy to be that excited over material objects but it looks so gorgeous
>>65483637
Nah, they're just pretend guitars.

>>65477954
it is okay 4/10
>>65484059
Well, I wouldn't know for sure, but it's either real or a perfectly good knockoff. Anyway I doubt anyone would clone a guitar like that. It's a les paul that isn't a gibson.

what's the 12 string in the back?

O-oh I'm sorry, >>65484406 k-pop enthusiast anon-sama.

I'm 21. Sorry if my taste in shoes have not evolved yet. They are cheap and Idgaf about what's on my feet. I'm not a woman. Hope this clears up future smack talk on shoes in a /gg/ thread. Lol
>>65484426
That all sounds pretty in vogue to me, though I guess it's been 5 or so years since high school. For a guitarist in high school, that is. He doesn't play synth.
>>65484490
>Hope this clears up future smack talk on shoes in a /gg/ thread. Lol
oh it won't. It will never end, especially because of the name/trip
I still don't mind you though
>>65484435
How about waiting for more than 10 minutes before begging for a reply?
>>65484435
Well tell us what the problem is then. "I couldn't get this song" isn't very helpful.
>>65484527
The only one there that the kids really listen to still is Nirvana. Even 6 years ago when I was in high school the kids who listened to Alice in Chains and Slayer were in short supply
>>65484529
Yeah man it's relentless. Kind of funny how the only things trolls have to say is just
>STICKERS ON GUITARS?
>WELL KNOWN BRANDS??
>YOU PLAY METAL???
>>65484568
Yeah I was the only one who liked Alice in chains. I got into them senior year, 3 years ago now. Time flies
>>65484590
10% of the thread is just you dude, maybe if you quit being so persistant and useless in your posts, no one would mind you.

>A tripfag
>Attention whoring
Stop the presses!
>>65484627
Nah it wasn't all me. There was someone having a mental breakdown earlier posting with my name and has all my pictures saved. I use a trip now and will be abandoning the Kpop name shortly anyways
>>65484568
That reminds me I need to listen to more Jefferson Airplane
>>65484651
There we go.
>>65484651
27 results when you press ctrl+f and search for "Fuck your 5,000 Kpop threads !2dX3h.5A/Y". 230 posts. Without even considering all the bitching people do about your trip, you're making up 10% of the thread, with some rather questionable and pointless posts.
>>65484190
A Timberidge 12 string Mini series 3, Timberidge is Martinez higher end stuff. Nice little guitar but it was an impulse buy at the time, sold it recently.
Also on a side note, I got a warning for making a post about how I don't believe Neutral Milk Hotels in the aeroplane over the sea is all its cracked up to be after a start to end listen, are you that fucking autistic /mu/?
>>65484435
You're not even asking anything , you're just stating the fact that you suck at a particular song.
>>65484687
Your point? I'm active in /gg/ threads.
>>65484687
OH MY GOD TEN PERCENT GET THE FILTERS OUT EVERYBODY
>>65484695
After just a single listen?
>>65484749
>>65484766
Yes, you're active, that's the problem, you're making this thread shitty just like every tripfag that ever was in /gg/
Also please put in some more effort when samefagging, having two posts perfectly timed one minute after each other makes it really obvious.
>>65484490
>They are cheap and Idgaf about what's on my feet. I'm not a woman.
>>65484695
>I got a warning for making a post about how I don't believe Neutral Milk Hotels in the aeroplane over the sea is all its cracked up to be after a start to end listen
Same reaction.
>>65484695
ITAOTS isn't really all it's cracked up to be, but it is a great album either way. Getting a warning for that is autistic as fuck though.
>>65484897
No it's not, from the perspective of this board, it's just shitposting because even if it's not one of the greatest albums ever, posting that here in /mu/ will just trigger more shitposting and stupid discussion, like it could happen right now.
So more than "stop being a pleb" I'm sure the warning is more about not using bait and shitposting.
>>65484844
Here's some advice: stop giving so much of a fuck about a trip for gods sake
There you go. The thread is 10x less shitty
>>65484844
Are you also implying if I didn't post with a trip the thread would somehow be better? People who get autistic over a name confuse me
>>65484936
Or you could stop craving attention so much that you can't resist using a trip.
>>65484936
I'd take that advice to heart if I was (you).
Trips have a purpose when you are sharing something or want to verify its the same poster but everywhere else they just trigger autists
There are some excellent anons that are recognizable for their help and style writing, no need to use a trip for validation.
Essential listens for a post-punk bassist who needs to fill in a lot of space? I'm not that short on inspiration these days, but I definitely need to expand my toolbox.
>>65484998
I use the trip to avoid samefagging confusion. That is all.
All you faggots are giving me the attention by endlessly talking about the name. I actually contribute to this thread when I'm not drowning in troll attempts just because I use the name. And here you are making that 10 percent slowly rise.
>>65485070
Not him but gotta admit your posts are pretty low quality. I don't filter but I don't enjoy seeing your posts
>>65485070
>I use the trip to avoid samefagging confusion
Funny how this simply isn't a problem for anyone else. The fact that you feel the need to use a name when starting a thread shows that you're attention whoring, fucking stop.
Just shut up guys, you're taking posting too seriously.
>>65485037
Bass in general? well basically everything from every genre has something interesting.
For post-punk? like at the drive in and fugazi kind of stuff? King Crimson, Pink Floyd, EL&P, Yes, Rush, etc. Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Deep Purple, some pop stuff like Billy Idol, Blondie, The Cars, etc.
Now, depending on your thing you might want to add some funk, some motown, some death metal... whatever that's missing for you and you want to bring some of "that" to your music.
Hard to say since post punk encompasses a lot of styles.
>>65485126
Nah I'm good bro stay salt tho lol
It's amusing to see all this autistic reactions for something so insignificant, so if anything, shame on you for getting this wound up.
>>65485125
My b then. But if I may ask, what's so low quality?
>>65485126
And again, I did not start this thread.
>>65485181
And shame on you for attention whoring and shitposting just as much through needing to defend your tripfaggotry. See how this works both ways?
>>65484767
>>65484852
>>65484897
>>65484935
I could understand if I made a bait post, but it was a legitimate discussion on the acclaim that it has received up until this point no just by /mu/ but by critics as well and how and why its maintained its status, so if /mu/ is too autistic to handle a civil conversation about something they enjoy and point out its positives and discuss it then that's not my fault, a warning from a mod was pure Grade A(utism)
>>65485181
Well look at it this way, a trip is generally used by either an attention seeker or someone who actually needs to identify themselves (like when lauren faust visited, or deadmau5, or some of the trips who manage stuff on lolg). When you use one only for opinions and not for posting original content you can easily skim over your posts and see your trip, a comment and have no reason to reply.
