Old thread >> 65511543
Remember to use your tone knobs, kiddos!
Alright fags, guess what this is. I feel like this one might be hard mode. Would normally be more distorted, but keeping it down because of neighbors.
https://youtu.be/fbEKnV64Kag
Friendly reminder: the kiddies who post in /gg/ threads have nearly ***zero*** experience concerning guitar. Playing, repair, new player recommendations, etc. The average age in these threads is around early 20s: green as shit grass.
If you have an actual question this is probably one of the most uninformed & least knowledgeable places you could ever expect a proper answer to come from.
Be weary of any advice given here as it's amateur & perfunctory at best.
Have a nice day.
>>65529306
Enjoy my thigh and my one-take mistakes. I haven't played that solo in a good while.
Also, friendly side note:
Anyone posting their gear here has made a decision (either consciously or unconsciously) that playing guitar is nothing more than a meaningless hobby, something along the lines of stamp or coin collecting. Their uninformed opinions and amateur advice are firmly rooted in this unserious mindset, music being secondary to the compulsion to accumulate and publicly display their "enviable" possessions.
4chan is considered poison by most mature adults and is rightly shunned publicly for its immature, juvenile, and sometimes vile content. Lorde and the bassist from DIIV immediately spring to mind, both being heavily criticized for posting on 4chan and for their seeming willingness to be connected publicly to /mu/. No one with any real goals or aspirations would risk being contaminated with an association to this website, thus no serious musician would chance being recognized by posting their gear here. The only people who would be willing to subject themselves to this possibility would be the kind of hopeless, self-defeating troglodytes that routinely post on 4chan because they know they don't have any other options and nothing better (or more important) to do with their time. If you're posting on this site then you should be very familiar and thoroughly acquainted with this standard model 4chan user. There's no deliberate or pragmatic pursuit of knowledge or skill in these threads, just inane, unending circle jerking around gear, attention whoring, and fishing for replies.
For example: Aussiefag has been here for well over two years accomplishing absolutely nothing except for *getting some attention for himself*. The sad truth is that he has nothing else, this is his legacy: replying to other losers in /gg/ threads because his life is obviously devoid of any other social interaction.
If your goal is to wind up like this then posting gear here ad nauseum and avoiding actual musical discussion is definitely a good place to start.
Carry on.
>>65529306
Not sure, put some pants on though
New guitar day! Just got this in the mail.
>>65529333
Joke's on you. I haven't had pants on since 6 pm. Every single video I've posted on here I've been in my boxers.
Who here has evolved past traditional amps/cabs?
One of these babies direct into a studio monitor at practice or the PA at gigs provides me with all the power and tubey goodness I could need. Plus, this thing can dial in whatever tone I could possibly need.
>>65529367
Gimmick.
>>65529357
Nice!
Might wanna put a trip on though so we can tell it's you.
Care to post some demos?
>>65529359
You monster
>>65529367
I dunno. One thing I can't stand is a guitar direct into the PA, always sounds too thin for me. I like the coloring you get out of an amp
>>65529357
Where's the brown qt that had a Tele?
>>65529357
Put a trip bro. Seriously.
> inb4 lol it's me retard
my scarlett 2i2 should be arriving today, anyone else got the new mkII version also? thoughts?
>>65529306
Too hard mate, again it sounds familiar
https://clyp.it/mngpty2z
>>65529367
I would seriously go for an Axe-FX + Power Amp setup. They are constantly improving the firmware, Fractal are top notch.
>>65529387
How so? It's just a means to an end that happens to weigh under a pound
>>65529406
The point of the sansamp is to color the tone in the same way that a traditional amplifier would before going into the PA.
>>65529428
Second half of that makes me want to guess Games People Play by Alan Parsons Project
>>65529406
>>65529412
lol
You dum dums knew it yet still replied? Yikes. Seriously, how can I ever lose here?
>>65529434
I would totally go for the Axe FX as well. Shame about the price though. For now the Sansamp is more than sufficient for me. Plus I like how the sansamp is all analog. It has it's own character which I like
>>65529406
>>65529367
>>65529456
Oh didn't see you were putting it through that before the PA, my bad.
Ive never tried it so I can't say
How much does it cost?
>>65529484
$200 I think. Worth it IMO. It's replaced my bass rig (8x10) and my guitar rig (4x12)
>>65529462
Similar in sound but MUCH more popular
Song title is a date.
>>65529247
if schoolbooks had been anime i mightve cared about studying more. they should make learning more fun and less boring anyways
I'm looking to get into baritone. Any good experiences/horror stories I should know? I'm leaning toward pic related or an Eastwood Sidejack since I like P-90s.
>>65529519

That's pretty cool, yeah.
Axe Fx IIs can be had for $1.5k or even less with some luck but for most guys that's too much unless you are actively gigging or have good disposable income.
>>65529546
You got it.

I left for a little while and his shitstorm blew over and he hasn't been here since I came back. Did he announce that he was rage quitting or just slink into the shadows and stop posting one day?

Always. Gotta scrub under them fingernails
>>65530447
Really? I was wondering if anyone here has had contact with her before.
>>65530433
I feel like I'm excessive with it, pretty much never play without a thorough hand wash.

Remember, giving your hands a complete cleaning before playing can help improve your tone up to 30%

alright I posted at the ass end of the last thread so I'll repost it one more time, sorry
hi, new bassist here
I've been producing music for a long time so I know the basics of production at least
however, when it comes to guitars and analog stuff I'm completely fucking retarded.
With that out of the way...
I bought my first bass today. I didn't buy an amp, however. Why? I have a Focusrite Saffire audio interface.
The thing is, it outputs the guitar yeah, but it's super fucking quiet. Even when I have the line mode set to "instrument", I still need to turn every knob on the thing to max, and it's still quiet (and heavily overdriven)
Do I need to buy an amp to daisy chain it to my audio interface or am I just doing something stupid?
>>65531231
>turn every knob to max
>still quiet
>and overdriven
That's curious. Is that when you're not running any plugins on the track? Bass (especially a cheap bass) recorded direct will sound quiet and farty when unaffected, but you should still be able to bring it up to level normally. And it definitely shouldn't be overdriven. Try putting it through a bass amp sim, maybe the direct sound alone is throwing you off
>>65531221
>implying that wasn't my intention all along
What are you working on now?
Currently trying to come up with new ideas for my ambient guitar project. So far I have 2 tracks done, but I'm not so happy with them.
Books on playing rythm guitar?
>played guitar for 12 years
>realize I should have learned the piano instead
how can I turn back time???
>>65531231
>I still need to turn every knob on the thing to max, and it's still quiet (and heavily overdriven)
That's because you don't turn up your levels on the interface, you should bring up a compressor instead, that won't overdrive anything.
It might bring up some noise though.
>>65532382
Allan Holdsworth wanted to play saxophone, I'd say that went well for him.
>>65532382
Don't. Your fingering should be decent enough to pick up basic piano quickly.
What are the most renowned classical guitar brands, lads?
>>65532194
Sweep picking, going to work on my endurence next and then maybe slap because I still need to make my bassist shut up.

>6 saddle
>>65532446
Cordoba, Taylor, Yamaha, Godin. The best guitars are made by luthiers, though.
>>65532635
I heard the wiring in Cordoba classical guitars is shit and vibrates against the wood from inside
>>65532697
I've heard some models can have terrible tuning pegs but nothing about their electros. I don't care much for them tbqh

try to push down on the strings on the very very tip of your fingers. keep your finger tips perpendicular to the fingerboard.
>>65532382
>how can I turn back time???
TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS
Bought a 2000$ guitar, conclusion after a few weeks: not "worth" it but super nice. If you have cash to spare it's great for the added comfort and to have something that had so much attention to detail put into it.
For most people, midrange guitar with a proper setup/fretjob and maybe new PUs will essentially be the same, it just won't be as nice and coherent and requires some work.
>>65532635
>Taylor
I don't like their Classical guitars desu. Godin and Cordoba are the best playing ones in my opinion.
>>65533265

>>65530397
>giving money to a dick-mutilating degenerate
>>65533265
The question would be which guitar? For some the price says nothing about the overall quality.
>>65533265
Speaking as someone who's put in the work into my cheap guitar over many years, my guitar IS as coherent and nice as a $2000 guitar. That said, it's a pretty simple guitar, the sort of configuration most people wouldn't bother with a $2000 version of. It's just a les paul.
People spending $2000 on guitars with no outstanding features outside of tone is ass-backwards retarded, but I don't see any issue with people spending as much on guitars with non-traditional features and ergonomics, high quality active electronics, or ornate decoration. That depends on how much you value those features.
Without those major differences you have to get more and more picky to find a feature that for some reason you actually value enough. Usually it winds up being something vague like craftsmanship, because if you got any more specific, you'd sound like an idiot.

The guy's literally mad that people say not to buy gibson, and he's too afraid to say so because he knows he can't defend his argument. The post is stupid, because it acts like it's a warning for new players when really the advice for new players on /gg/ is consistent and fair. What the post really says is that people who have been playing for a few years don't have the girth of experience to have a valid preference or opinion on guitars. The guy is just defending his stance of "x famous musicians plays a les paul, so I should too" instead of the actual details that make a guitar a good or bad purchase, not least of which being a fair price.
He's arguing that you need credibility for preference. He makes this generalized post as if it has any meaning to shore up his own damaged ego just because he got in a drunk argument and made a fool of himself.
can you suggest some bands or songs similar to the clean Animals As Leaders songs like On Impulse, David, Point To Point, Modern Meat...
Something fun to play on guitar with fingers.
>>65534851
No.
>>65534800
whats wrong with gibson guitars if they offer what you want
>>65534926
Yes.
>>65535018
Maybe
>>65535042
Absolutely
>>65534851
the pillows
>>65534800
Not the fag but I spent 700 euro's on a gibson and it's honestly the best money I've spent so far. I do hate a lot of their models though but not because they are quality or not. Guitar gear is really fucking subjective. Stuff like weight of a guitar or thickness of a neck, or the fact that the neck is finished or not and how much is what can really make or break a guitar for you.
I just cut my bass string too short like a fucking idiot
any solutions?
>>65529247
Do mini humbuckers sound actually good on Telecasters?

Alright folks, here's hint number two, the second solo from this song. Hint number one was that this is related to Carlos Santana
https://clyp.it/seqbwpty
>>65535858
That sounds like the chords to Little Wing
>>65535896
Have a shitty rendition of Little Wing. That's not Little Wing though. The Carlos Santana hint requires a little bit of knowledge though because it's kinda, but not directly related to him.

>>65535492
Implying you will never use any of the other strings in the package. Always have an extra set anon.
>>65535966
I don't know man, I'm a big fan of Santana (until his 80s stuff) and I`m starting to feel stupid for not recognizing it.
That's not a bad performance of Little Wing, it's just got too much overdrive to make the melody shine.
>>65536103
Think members of Santana's band.
>>65536118
Is it from Journey?
Is Vai any good?
>>65536148
Yes, early Journey
What are some sick hip hop songs to learn on guitar?

I can't recall the name of the song but I already feel rewarded enough by being able to at least guess the band.
Good playing anon.
Hey /gg/uys, ever have those really nice guitar parts with a great idea go to shit when you add the god damn drums?

Nothing. If you like it, then that's all that matters. Getting pissy when someone else says they don't like what you do is the problem. And you'll attract abuse. I get opinions on shit here a bunch, but always take it with a grain of salt. I mean, it's a internet image board plagues with whiny fags and shitposting trolls with no life outside of being trolls.

Why are all Mexican Jazzmasters 700-1300 euro's when standard strats and tele's are 600-900.
>>65537295
Because they are IN DEMAND

The price increase is still gonna be there, unfortunately. You'll save money, but it'll still be more than a used strat of similar quality. The smarter thing to do, though something not everyone is willing to do, is to simply choose a guitar that has healthy market competition. Unfortunately jazzmaster pickups are not very popular outside of jazzmaster clones, so for the tone a retrofit is the cheapest option. On the other hand the jazzmaster tone isn't as desirable to most as other pickups. In short, take this chance to reevaluate what you want.
Some will see this as compromising your ideals... You gotta know what you really want to know that for sure.
>>65537468
Nah I'm blowing 1k on a guitar in september and I kinda want a jazzmaster, but if I blow 1k I don't want a budget model.
>>65537498
Get a Japanese one
Granted, it'll run you over 1k, but it'll look better than the competition

What do people mean when they say "angular guitar work/riffs?"
Posted this in another thread, thinking this one had reached bump limit:
I want a Twin but it's too loud for my apartment.
Are there any lower-wattage, high-quality alternatives?
>>65537954
The deluxe or the Princeton if you want a fender.
>>65537864
It's just shitty music journalism for teenagers who parrot its terminology. Usually means riffs that aren't bluesy or jazzy (think SY, Slint, or American Football).
>>65537954
Do you need an amp for performing or for playing in your appartment?
>>65536393
I stand like that...
>>65537980
>deluxe
when you say deluxe, do you mean hotrod, blues, or the tweed one that neil young has that probably goes for an obscene amount of money?
also, I'm leaning towards a princeton
>>65538007
rip knees
>>65538006
just for playing in my apartment. ideally, I don't want to compromise tone though and I might gig eventually
>>65538080
Get a princeton indeed.
>>65538026
A deluxe reverb.
A Princeton is perfect for bedroom playing imo
>>65538080
Marshall SL-5. All tube combo amp, can switch between 1 watt and 5 watt.
>>65538185
>Marshall SL-5
too british for me m8
>>65538157
>>65538150
I'll have to try both out now, thanks
>>65538157
>>65538266
That being said, it's still a loud amp.
I doubt you can get a drive from it at bedroom levels. Just a good clean sound.
>>65538329
Shit that's bad news. Every amp I've found that distorts at low volumes sounds dinky. Would an overdrive or distortion pedal help?
>>65538407
would an overdrive pedal help with drive?
>>65538407
You probably want to get a good modeler, that you can send to powered monitors or the power section of a solid-state amp.
>>65538407
Yes of course.
>>65538488
I thought modeling amps generally suck
how bout another round of guess the song?

Who /almost always neck pickup/ here?
>>65539028
I think I use the neck pickup around 60% of the time
>Tripniggers have completely ruined another good place of discussion
I know you're just trying to make people mad but if you want to shitpost and jerk each other off all day why not join one of those cancerous FB/Twitter groups instead of one of the few /mu/ generals where actual discussion can be had?
>>65539093
>thinking /gg/ has actual discussion
Cmon now, are you for real?
>>65539028
I never use anything else when I'm playing clean. But I'm a chug enthusiast, so that's only about 15% of the time
>>65539093
>one of the few /mu/ generals where actual discussion can be had
lmao
>>65539028
only when playing clean
So I need a pickguard for a guitar like this
any ideas where I could find one?
>>65539028
gtfo
>>65532194
I don't know. I feel like I've hit a plateau with electric stuff, I can play pretty much anything except some super-technical shredding, which I don't like in the first place.
With acoustic I'm trying to work on my singing/playing and fingerpicking, but even there I'm just practicing the same handful of things over and over and can learn most new songs very quickly.
I've been thinking about getting into classical guitar but I know I'd have to actually learn to read music, which I've tried and failed to do twice, and am worried I'd do again and end up learning /dreadful technique/ and never get past low-intermediate level.
>>65539142
amazon has a nice selection of pickguards
lemme see if i can find you one like that
>>65534851

>>65539163
Failure is the first step to success. Don't be afraid to try. If you don't even try you won't even get to low-intermediate level.
>>65539179
yeah I've gone through ebay and browsing amazon atm
>>65539206
>Failure is the first step to success. Don't be afraid to try.
Did you get this from a breakfast cereal or something?
>>65539142
I really doubt you're going to find a pickguard that fits that guitar. You could start with a SG pickguard and carve the switches and the other stuff so that it fits. That or you can order a custom one.
>>65539163
>I've been thinking about getting into classical guitar but I know I'd have to actually learn to read music
no you don't, though it helps
>>65539142
i couldnt find anything that has the tone knob guard but

>>65539221
Bitch if you don't get inspired by the box of wheaties you eat every morning then I don't know how you deal with every day
>>65539227
the problem is the switch in the right horn
I don't really care if it doesn't cover the lower part, but the switch is a must
>>65539240
thanks, but this doesn't cover the switch

this kind of pickguard might cover the switch but that's really close
>>65539259
well you could always cut out holes for the switches yourself
Hey /mu/ what would you guys say is more rounded or a better buy? A peavey 6505 combo or a marsha ma50c?
>pic is of marshall
>>65539117
>>65539141
Huh, I'm the opposite, mostly neck for distorted stuff (with tone knob low) because I like the thicc sound, and bridge for cleaner stuff because it has more "ring" to it
>>65539293
yeah the holes aren't a problem, but it doesn't cover the routed hole
>>65537485
>>65539028
I like it for blues solos, but anything else I use bridge
Kind of a weird question, but I was wondering if anyone in here could help me identify the guitar used in the 2006 Beer Ape Rolling Rock commercial. I play guitar in a shitty punk band with friends from highschool, and Rolling Rock is a huge deal to us. It's embedded into who we are as people. My end goal is to hunt down the exact guitar and restore it.
>>65539433
just a regular dean flying V is what it looks like
>>65539433
btw rolling rock is fucking choice bro
the most crisp light beer that goes well with ANYTHING
anyone play a baritone guitar? how is that
>>65539528
its just a guitar thats set up for b
nothing special, maybe heavier gauge strings but its not any different that a regular guitar
>>65539475
That's what I figured based on the head. Wasn't sure though.
>>65539513
It's the perfect cheap beer
>>65530208
I just ordered a Dean Marey solid state amp.
Will it be any good or should I cancel the order?
POST SEXY BASSES

god tier dirt pedals along with RAT, muff
Finally got my big stand. That's what she said rofl
Learning some theory too after finding a piece of A4 from years ago that an old guy I used to work with drew up for me; modes and scales, and it's amazing how a little theory goes such a long way. Don't know why I didn't learn earlier
>>65539840
I have a sexy Peavey 5-string but no pictures.
Most basses are automatically sexy though, I love basses.
>>65539951
I should get one, I simply leave my guitars lying around.
>>65540094
I tuck them into my bed when I leave.
>>65538764
Yeah, because 100% of modeling amps were made in the past or are in development. Technology marches on.
>>65540094
I used to have mine hanging on a wall so I could hoover without the risk of denting my babies
>>65540143
>t. Mr. Sarcasm
>>65540274
Nah, I didn't mean it sarcastically, I meant that as an exaggeration, or a play on that technically, everything either hasn't been released yet or was released "in the past". In my effort to be witty I made my meaning obscure. What I mean to say in short and in no uncertain terms is that modelers have been getting progressively better over time, and they've earned their reputation for being shitty thanks to the fact that they were all shitty at some point.
I think today's top modelers are hugely useful, and astoundingly realistic. The versatility and consistency beats every other option for amplification.
>>65540494
>I think today's top modelers are hugely useful, and astoundingly realistic. The versatility and consistency beats every other option for amplification.
any recommendations?
>>65539840
Anyone have experience with Agile guitars or other Korean import brands like them? I'm looking around for a less expensive 8 string I can take to uni and not worry about as much as I would a nicer guitar.
>>65540541
I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending something to buy, but I'd be comfortable recommending you look into the boss gt-100, line6 pod hd500x, zoom g5n, and roland cubes. There's more if you're open to software, but those are the big leaders when it comes to dedicated units.
The problem with shopping for modelers is nothing does only modeling. You have a whole lot of other factors to think about. The cube is the easiest but less giggable since it isn't made as much with direct out to mains in mind, but on the other hand the amps are tailored to match the built in speaker.
>>65540712
the higher end agiles are fine.

Cocaine by Eric Clapton
>>65540751
I have a gt-100 and I can say it's great. I use it direct into a PA. Default patches are shit though so you'll have to do some tweaking to get it sounding good but it's the best out there besides the Axe FX imo.
