Anything with more than one kind of pickup, no tremolo, that doesn't cost over $300. That said make sure it's got a few decent reviews on forums(not amazon reviews or click bait)

There's nothing worse in life than actually attaining one of your dreams, Anon. Just ask Jim Carrey.

It's a bit tricky when it comes to gear. I own the guitars I've always wanted but then there's always something else I'd like to try.
I still need to get my goal amp but the current one is really good, I'll get there in a couple of years maybe. For me amps are less gear acquisition syndrome prone than guitars.
>>65806518
Let me tell you where this ends: at a certain point you'll come to the realization that you're doing all of this to make music. When you reach that point you'll look around use whatever you ended up with to that end and you'll wish you'd reached that point much sooner than you actually did.

Yamaha Pacifica 112v, I'm not going to list the reasons, just google why it's one of the best starting guitars.

Great suggestion, Pacificas are excellent starter guitars.
Anybody know how to get activation keys or cracks for Guitar Rig 5? I have the demo and it's great, but obviously limited and paying $200 for something nearly the same is bs.

>implying I'm wrong
Your electric guitar might as well be any other electric guitar as far as an audience is concerned. Once you understand that masturbating to "want" instead of practicing pragmatic "need" is a pointless waste of time you'll be on your way.
Recently got a PRS SE Custom 24 and the corner of the nut on the treble side is fairly sharp. Pretty sure it's made of plastic. Can I sand it down easily? I know the better option is to replace it with a TUSQ or bone nut or something, but I'm not the most guitar handy person and don't want to fuck it up and can't really afford to have a pro install it right now.
Thoughts?
>>65807663
Oh you mean like you stab your hand on it? I had that on mine, just sanded it down a bit with a fuckin' nail file
Any good exercises for alternate picking?
>>65807663
Do it, it's a quick and easy fix with a small file.

Telecaster. Avoid the Strat. A Tele can do anything. Look into the higher-end Squier Teles
>>65804957
>>65808306
I'd suggest a mexican model instead of the Squier.
But avoid the model with two humbuckers, they tend to be noisy.

Where do I start with pedals? I could use a distortion pedal, maybe some other cheap effects to mess around with too but nothing fancy or too expensive
>>65809336
Distortion/overdrive and a compressor is a good place to start
>>65809336
You start with Boss or Digitech. Cheap, durable, reliable. The DS-1 is a classic and can't be underestimated; I sold mine a few months ago because I thought I "didn't use it enough" and I regret it every day.
They will retail new for like $40-50 but people are always getting rid of them; you can score one for $20-25 if you're lucky

can someone explain this boy meme to me please?
>>65809336
Little addendum to what >>65809558 said: if you want to try out more exotic effects on a budget, check out behringer pedals, they'll give you a decent idea of the effect and are dirt cheap (even more if you buy them used).

I also possibly want to replace my Boss ds-2 and big muff pi with a Death by Audio Apocalypse.
I dont care too much for the Holy Grail either and might sell that for a better more interesting reverb... maybe a Cathedral Stereo or Mooer Shimverb.
I also have a Boss CE-1 and never tried any other choruses and wanted to know if I fell for a meme or if modern boutique pedals (i was eyeing a red witch) are just as good?

>>65810962
Can you even tell a bad intonation on an evertune bridge?
>>65811024
I intended to, but after a little reflection I changed my mind. When I saw I was all alone hammer spamming I decided I'd rather shitpost this board into the ground like we did with /v/ and Grimes threads will only help with that goal, so they stay.
>>65811120
I didn't have fun with guitars until at least like 6 months in, had fun for a while, then plateaued and stopped having fun.
It's a constant cycle of plateauing in your skill, overcoming it, having fun for a while, finding out you're not as good as you think you are then working hard to overcome your limitations. It's something you're gonna have to get used to. Start seeing the fun in learning rather than being able to play well. Overcoming that thing you couldn't do a month ago is part of what makes learning guitar so fulfilling.
>>65811120
Guitar will only get more and more fun as you progress. 3 months isn't very long at all, so don't be too hard on yourself.
>>65811120
3 months is basically nothing.
But it doesnt matter how long you have played for, or how good you are. You will always feel that you are not good enough.
Looking to pick this up, anyone have one of these?
>>65811342
no you fucking idiot
>>65811151
Couldnt find a better pic, but it should look like 2 "staircases". If it doesnt, you have probably done it wrong.
>>65811458
If it's tuned normally with normal gauge strings yes.
all of my guitars have wonky intonations like that guitar has, even the E standard one because I like wound G's
>>65811666
I admit my fault, i always forget that there exists other tunings.

A lot of the YouTube comments I've seen about this said that it sounds much different in person than in demos.
got a 72 twin reverb i just crank out and record into a tascam 424 mkiii with this old teisco i picked up for garage lofi crap and i mic it up with a shure beta 57 through a golden age project 73 mkii preamp all in all sounds tight (also micing up 70's greco jazz bass cover through the twin and using samples from records i like) but lately ive gotten into synths and got a dx100 for 30 bucks then a dx7 for 150 so i think im heading into some weirder territory with that shit maybe some funky stuff with a strat

At some point you have to play some of the songs that seem easy. Balance. Learning to sing while playing chords will make beginner songs more fun, because they'll be more recognizable and you might get someone to sing along, or at least put up with you.

is that a good idea that using a volume pedal may enable you to use fancy big-ass amp when you have to keep quiet( in your apartment)
nice thread idiots
>>65814420
A volume pedal does the exact same thing as the volume pot on your guitar m8, the difference is that you can choose where it goes in the signal chain. What you'd need in that situation is an attenuator that goes between the amp and the speaker.
Regardless, what amp are you talking about? The whole "you have to crank an amp for it to sound good" depends entirely on the amp in question.
does this seem to be in standard tuning?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOIXZI7PXJ8

>HH strat, hows it sound
better than i expected, honestly. i really like the hot output; the split coil settings are kinda weird, it's one for the outer coils and one for the inner coils, they sound good, but i would have separate push/pull pots or mustang style switches to have better control over that.
Especially since the strat switch kinda gets in the way of the right hand when you wanna get a little crazy (major downside of strat design imo)
i can post some stuff but since it came with a line 6 m9 (pulled off a trade for a korean prs) i've been kinda drowning the guitar in FX since i got it

What amp are you using? Good amp gain with an overdrive boost is optimal
>>65817158
I combined it with the Pitchfork, and I play a 6 string bass in C# Standard. So I have a low G# instead of a low B....then pitchshifted down 3 octaves via the pitchfork, and then freeze. Much rumble occurs.
>>65817158
Looking for something with some good note definition, biting harmonics, and a good mid/mid high end without making low end overbearing. Love a lot of stuff from Sex Machineguns, Loudness, Megadeth, and Judas Priest in terms of tonality.
>>65817244
Grandmeister 36. I've tried the ultra channel, and also tried a crunch channel with an overdrive and I just can't seem to get a really solid tone. Might be having to keep the amp at decent volumes (live with other people), might not be dialing it in very well on the pedal. Not sure which.
>>65811342
I have one.
It's loud, so you are going to need to deal it in useing the volume from your guitar. At low setting its like a fuzz/distortion where you can still hear your chords. At higher setting you more distortion type of effects.
Also depending on your amp there a bit of compression.
Hope this helps.

It's another "I'm starting to lose motivation" post. Feel free to ignore it or ridicule me.
Playing bass for 1 year now, but monotone practice is starting to get to me. I also constantly see amazing bassists and what they can do, think "I want to be able to do that too!" then pick up my bass and realize how terrible I am. I'm also starting to blame other things for my failures, which us nonsense but still happens and angers me even more.

stop playing shit that you think is like good, and have some fun with it. try to come up with some crazy shit to record.
>>65818782
You're always going to feel discredited and down the minute you start comparing yourself to people who have been playing years, especially people who don't have other responsibilities BUT playing and making music.
You're only a year in. Practice is awful, it's monotonous, and it's boring. It's also however what will let you become as good as you hope to be. Be honest with yourself, your progress, and your goals.

iv'e been 'playing; for 7 years and more seriously playing the last year of those 7.
dont let the distaste of how far you come make you wnt to practrice less, because thats just counte inutiive, of course if you pick up your bass only a few times a month you wont see a gradual increase. and every guitar/bass player ever is never really satisfied with their skills

>I know that
As does everyone else who tries to improve themselves usually. Know that most of us all struggle over the same shit. Christ I've improved loads over the last while and I'd make a mockery of my old self in terms of my playing, but the minute I compare myself to some amazing artist naturally I'll come across the same feelings.
There will always be a higher plateau, and so there will always be a degree to which you are dissatisfied. What's important is acknowledging that awful way of thinking, and realizing your improvements. As long as you're focusing on breaking bad habits, making good ones, and practicing you really can't beat yourself up.

Tell me about that jagstang
Is it good or a meme guitar?
>>65804957
A few things to keep in mind:
Don't get a floating bridge for a cheapy. They won't hold their tuning very well, break quite easily, and are way more of a pain to setup.
Play around with a bunch of different kinds. Scale length, contour and thickness of neck will feel different depending on the person's hand size and comfort. Even body shape can be a game changer (I myself can't play with large round body shapes anymore thanks to playing V's and Rhoads style guitars).
In terms of brands to look for, Ibanez, Epiphone, and LTDs are surprisingly good at low cost.

Fucking weebs. First you shitpost tomatoes in /g/, now you are gonna do it here too?
this shit is so fucking nasty next to my comparatively antiseptic timeline. I posted it about a week ago but finally took the plunge and christ is it something.
analog, hot damn. i'd be seriously considering doing away with my timeline and bigsky if I felt I fully understood them; this is just out of the box so incredibly slick.
Anyone play mandolin here? How do you like it?
just bought my first bass on a splurge. it's an ibanez gsr200 and i'm really excited
>>65815143
>>65816344
1) Yes, it's in standard tuning.
2) He's getting all the "extra notes" from a tape delay.
Here's a quick run-through of the songs riffs, skipping the second verse to go into the chorus and bridge. Remember to use a lot of slides to smooth the transition from chord to chord. You'll want to use economy picking to arpeggiate up and down each new chord in the verse riff. Hopefully it helps to hear just the guitar part on its own. My band covers this song and it can be a bit tricky because it is so rhythm-centric. Sorry for any mistakes (I know I skip around a bit in some parts).

I just switched from Ernie ball hybrid slinky (9-46) to some elixir nanowebs (10-46).
I fucking hate it so far. Sounds really acoustic-y and bassy. Also the lower strings are way easier to bend than the higher ones. Is there supposed to be this big of a difference between a 9 and a 10?
Do you think my problems will fade away as the strings wear out? Or does the nanoweb mean it won't?
man i wish /a/ posting was a bannable offense
>inb4 its a japanese imageboard!!1!!!
>>65824203
normies fuck off
>>65824175
I never liked elixir strings, but it is true in general that heavier strings are bassier and have a more acoustic sound. On the other hand you can get the action lower and have better dynamics. Among heavier strings, you've still go brighter and darker strings. You could try stainless steel strings, for example.
>>65824175
check out SIT power wounds. my local store stopped carrying them but they were amazing imo
New to guitar. I want to play oldies, is this any good for a first guitar? Tips?
>>65825286
Memelectros are bad, you should get a totally not-shit Squire made by Fender :^)
>>65825324
nah i dont care for fenders. Besides A thin line telecaster
>>65824831
weebs fuck off
>>65822555
I recently picked it up since my mom has one she hasn't played in years that I can borrow. I tune my guitar in fifths and play some cello so it's pretty intuitive to me. Adjusting to the size is the hardest part.
>>65825286
They're fine. Don't pay more than $200 for one, though. They're incredibly light which a beginner would probably appreciate.
>>65826103
there about 400 though? I dont mind i incredibly love the 50's look.
>>65822555
I don't own one, but I've played my friend's mandolin quite a bit. It's really easy to switch to since you can look at the tuning as if the bottom 4 strings of a regular guitar were inverted - G D A E. All you need to do is flip your chord shapes upside-down and you're good to go. It's a pretty fun instrument
>>65826103
Also i was thinking>>65825286
about this one, anything bad?
>>65826322
>>65826103
forgot pic
>>65826270
i meant used. you can probably find a cheap u1 or the like on craigslist. i like danelectros but they're clearly overpriced new for what they are. personally i'm shopping in the same price range atm and i'm either getting a used squier mustang or jazzmaster.
>>65826340
i think they're solid. just spend an afternoon at guitar center/any other similarly large store and try everything to get a feel for what you like.
>>65822555
I own a real cheap one, fun to play.
>>65826373
alright, any recomendations for 400-500 twangy guitars?
yo /gg/
TS9 vs OCD for adding a little grit to my clean-ish guitar tone? Currently using a Distortion+ but it's making me sound really thin.
Using it into a Bass Big Muff Nano that I use for real high gain shit and a Small Clone that's always on, into a twin reverb
>>65826406
squier classic vibes tele (they're made of pine and weigh a fucking ton), whatever the superior cheap gretsch is.
>>65821547
Leo Fender did, that's why G&L exists.
>>65826453
Always preferred the TS-9 but I'd recommend trying both.
Hey /gg/ I just bought a '62 Fender Jazzmaster reissue from the 80's and the treble is so overbearing. It's way too loud and the low ends are quiet in comparison. I've turned down the treble on my amp, and I've cut the treble with a Micro Amp Plus but it's still way louder than the low ends. Is there a fix to this?
>>65826453
Get a Klon Klone

return it
>>65827045
change pickups maybe?
>>65827045
>He fell for the Jazzmaster meme
That's how they're supposed to sound senpai. You will most likely need new pickups. A p90 style pickup could work for you (like in the Classic Player JMs). Or you could change the potentiometers to 500K
how do i go about learning to read sheet music lads?
>>65827045
crank the tone knob and use a weird fuzz. you'll be fine

Help me out
Thinking of buying a telecaster, using a basic bitch strat now.
Option 1: http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/electric_guitars_detail.asp?stock=11122310102258&gclid=COKdtfj2uM0CFWQq0wodoQsFAg

>>65828294
Are telecasters a meme?
>>65828248
the strap and the guitar are both my first as a gift from my father who just got a cheap strap and the cheapest guitar off the list of what was worth getting at the time i was 16 and edgy and wanted to start out playing slipknot and cannibal corpse. the only reason i still have it is cause I had a killswitch installed when i started getting really into buckethead. and about a year after installing it i got my ibanez and since installed some seymour duncun blackouts [spoiler] ahb-1's iirc [/spoiler] I will prob sell when i get a killswitch in the ibanez. The taylor I got from my grandpa when he died
>>65828244
12 strings are pretty.
>>65828303
They feel good, played a couple before and want to buy my own, upgrade from my basic bitch strat
as I said
>>65808365
The classic vibe I tried at a guitar store sounded a lot nicer than the mexican ones they had
>>65810313
Okay dad
>>65827997
just get agile to build you one or something. It won't be hard to add the buttons.
>>65828949
Fuck off, this has always been usual for /gg/ even before you showed up to steal pictures of other people's guitars.
>>65828044
Again, why wants to play with a bad/mediocre bassist?
>>65829250
A lot of people want to play with any bassist.
>>65828949
>>65829262
I truly hope john frusciante is actually behind all of this
>>65829262
>>65829300
Literally every single band or group I've found looking for a bassist in my city writes stuff like "prior experience required", "serious project", "professional attitude" or "no beginners".
>>65829300
I've played with both good and bad bassist. A bad bassist is super annoying and you have to guide him for every single fucking thing. And it doesn't really add anything, you don't have someone who'll have inspiration and help the band.
>>65829365
That makes sense. There are many bass players that switched from guitar because they didn't know how to play guitar. They think you chuck root notes and be good to go :^)
>>65829419
from personal experience you need two people to start a band who know what they're doing. A bassist and a singer who can play guitar. Or if you can't sing, like me, find a good guitar player who can also sing.
>>65829365
Well, don't look for established groups, look at posts for jams, collaborations, etc. I know what that's like, since I live in an area with very few live venues. If a group is asking for prior experience, you can still send an email, just be up front about you skill level. You can also look for groups that don't gig that often, maybe a monthly basis. Those bands will usually be casual enough to let anyone in.
>>65829435
So they write this to weed out those kinds of bassists? Or what?
I'm afraid of this: >>65829419
I really don't want to be an annoyance to an existing group or drag them down.
>>65829469
Literally everyone asks for prior experience though. Even if they don't gig or aren't even a complete band yet.
>>65829497
>So they write this to weed out those kinds of bassists? Or what?
I don't know if they do. But it wouldn't surprise me if that's a reason for doing so.
Am I a meme now?
