>still arguing for tonewoods
I hope you also wear your tone shirt, stand on your tone carpet and smoke your tone tobacco m8.
what does /gg/ think of mustangs? I absolutely adore them
>>66229705
Your taste in guitars is shite.
Any anons have any experience with aria acoustic guitars? Specifically the classical ones. Was thinking of picking up pic related tomorrow if it sounds good. It's a vintage model (780).
Am I good getting a Mexican stratocaster as my first electric guitar? I can play acoustic quite well just looking for a change. I've tried it out at the store and I loved how it felt to play
>>66230230
Yes, get one. You will not regret it.
>>66230230
>>66230264
He's right anon. I own a mexi-strat and its pretty versatile. With a few mods it can be just as good sounding as an American strat.
Mooer Lo fi Machine. Anyone has it? Is it any useful or at least any fun?
>>66230230
Are you planning on buying new or used?
Price point?
>>66229537
im thinking of buying a guitar ....... im 35
How many guitars does /gg/ own?
>tfw already own 3 and getting the urge to buy more
I can't justify buying anymore but I thirst senpai.
>>66230514
Currently 4 basses and an EUB, but I'm selling 2 of those basses (and buying another one). After that I won't have 2 of the same kind of bass at least. Not too bad, I think.
>>66230512
Do you want to buy a guitar as a status symbol, to feel young again or to make up for your wasted teenage years? If so fuck off.
Do you want to buy a guitar because you're interested in music and learning an instrument? Get one, learn it, have fun. It's never too late to learn an instrument.
Does anyone here have any experience with fretless conversions? I modded my Fernandes Tremor 5 with Häussel Bassbars and a Glockenklang EQ and I'm quite tempted to go all the way and make it a fretless, but do it decently (replacing the frets with small pieces of maple as markers and finishing the neck with gun stock oil). Has anyone any experience with it? Can that be done in one day or should I take the weekend off? Any advice in general is appreciated.
>>66230654
I have a bass here that the previous owner defretted, and as far as I know you'll always have to reshape the fingerboard in some way because they're simply not meant to be played as festless. The fingerboard is not levelled and therefore I get massive beating around the 12th fret.
>>66230514
3 guitars, a bass and a mandolin. There are at least two guitars I really want but I think that might be a bit much. Might sell the bass since I don't really use it that much anymore. 2 of the 3 guitars don't have any resale value either.
>>66229678
>not tone toking in a circle of tone candles
i bet you clean your fingernails too
>>66229678
>he doesn't have a tone fedora
m8...
>>66230712
That's a good point. I already thought about leveling the fretboard with a 16" radius sanding block.
im really unsure at this point whether you guys are baiting or are actually so delusional that you think two different types of wood have no impact on tone.
>>66230798
on electric guitars the wood doesn't matter
on acoustic guitars, yes, it does.
tonewood on electric is basically a marketing meme to get idiots to buy over priced pieces of wood
holy fuck shut upppppppp tonewood tonewood tonewood
tonewood
TONEWOOD
>>66229705
If you could waifu a guitar, I would waifu the Mustang
>>66230514
1.
I plan on owning 5, an 8 string, a 7 with a floyd, a fretless guitar, a 5 or 6 string bass, a fretless 6 string.
I don't see why I would ever need more than that.
>>66230654
I defreted my friend's cheap chinese 5 string. You're better off taking a whole weekend, you'll damage the fretboard if you go too fast. Get a soldering iron too, it makes pulling out the frets easier.
Can you leave a line plugged into the OUT jack of a pedal without it draining the battery?
>>66230932
if i had to guess i'd say you play a low-end ibanez superstrat and you brainwashed yourself into thinking you get the same sound out of your guitar an lp or any other mahagony guitar does.
heres a nice comparison for you since you dont seem to have ears
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLxE8iDWD_w
>>66231094
yes of course, there's no closed circuit then
>>66230514
5 - 2 electrics, a 12-string acoustic, a classical, and a bass
>>66229705
My Squier Mustang came 2 days ago and it's been surpassingly great. No bridge issues like I thought I'd have.
>>66231108
lol my main guitar is a 76 lp custom
you do realize that two different sets of pickups are never going to be exactly the same, right? if they really wanted to "prove" that the wood matters, they would have to take the pickups and all the electronics out of one of those guitars and swap them back and forth to get accurate results
>>66231108
>chapman and guy who sells guitars
>implying they know what the fuck they're talking about
>implying they're not shilling
banez use basswood in almost everything, including Vai's JEM's. The problem with Ibanez is 99% of they're pickups are shite.
>>66231247
so you think two identical pairs of pickup can differ vastly in sound but dont think wood makes a difference? wew
sure no pickups sound exactly the same, but the difference between two identical pickups is so fucking small compared to the difference wood type makes.
coincidentally the unregularities in the pickups make the guitars sound exactly like you would expect from the types of wood though. what an interesting coincidence.
>>66230514
one abused ibanez gio.
>>66231256
of course they are shilling, but i dont think they would rig a test like this, and it should be very apparent how different both guitars sound.
>>66231365
you're brainwashed, you don't know what you're talking about, you are literally listening with your eyes and you are associating darker colors with warmer sounds
go read about how they make pickups and you'll realize why the same line of guitars built in the same factory sound different when you plug them into an amp
>>66231108
Posting a video from a company is stupid, they will do everything to try to prove their guitars are different, even lying and overestimating their products.
>>66231256
They've switched to using Mahogany a lot more, and their pickups in the last models (RGDIX/RGAIX/SIX) seem a bit better.
Also is it me or their new SIX are even thinner than the previous ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSlQWUySc_0
>>66231408
wait, you don't hear the difference in that video?
>>66231381
>but i dont think they would rig a test like this
Good goyim
>>66231432
pickups and electronics
that's all it is, if they made a video doing exactly what i said there would be no difference between the two
I lost my russian big muff moving apartments should i pick up another one or are there nicer fuzz pedals out there?
>>66231416
>Posting a video from a company is stupid
yes but i didnt wanna dig long for a test so i just picked what i found first. sure its not an optimal source but i doubt they would rig a test like this and the results speak for themselfes i guess.
Who would swap a Mooer Shimverb for an EHX small clone?
>>66231453
Also chappers is a fat fuck that plays metal so he picks harder then the other dude.
>>66231463
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Oo2H-W7d6A
if wood mattered this wouldn't sound like a strat
>>66231453
there is literallly no point in arguing with you.
of course pickups make up the vast majority of the sound, but the wood type absolutely has a big impact on tone, a way bigger impact than the small differences in two identical pickups make up. that test showed how big thedifference between two identical guitars with differend wood types are and the tone fit perfectly what you'd expect from those types of wood. why are you still in denial? im getting baited, am i?
so your main guitar is an lp custom which is probably worth a few thousand dollars. why do you keep that and not stick our pickups in a pile of dogshit? it would still sound the same wouldnt it?
>>66231463
You can't discard the source and the method when doing a precise experiment such as this one. There's too much wrong things in this video to be taken seriously.
>>66231532
Metal's not the only genre where no one knows what dynamics are.
>>66231530
Why would you swap a reverb pedal for a chorus pedal?
>>66231459
Get a musket fuzz
>>66231586
watch this >>66231579 and then have a mental breakdown that your tonewood bullshit is a meme. and again, you are listening with your eyes
why would i take apart a perfectly good guitar?
>>66231579
are you even listening? sure the pickups are a lot more important than anything else, but there is still a big fucking difference between woods.
>if wood mattered this wouldn't sound like a strat
it barely does.
>>66231673
>it barely does.
holy shit
>>66231643
Ok let's try the other way round - would you swap an EHX small clone for a Mooer Shimverb?
>>66231701
Why would you swap a chorus pedal for a reverb pedal?
>>66231659
we did watch the same video did we? that thing barely sounds like a strat. sure it gets somewhat close because as i said numerous times, pickups are the most important thing and it has the same scale lengh which is also a big thing, but its further away from a strat sound than a jazzmaster probably.
>>66229537
how to sing and play at the same time? my voice is shit but I dont plan on letting that stop me.
>>66231764
anon i'm sorry but i think you're just deaf
>>66231108
He actually posted it
PROOF Idiots don't understand how to make a fair comparison
>arguing about tonewood
I guess anime will have to save this thread des~~
>>66231797
says the one who cant hear the difference between two different types of wood and thinks that that "strat" actually sounded like a strat. its pretty apparent that you're hearing impared.
i shoumdnt get fucking baited into this.
i know its bait.
why do i do this.
>>66231775
Practice no other way my dude
>>66231828
>why do i do this.
because you know you're wrong, and you know tonewood is bs kouhai
>>66231828
mmmhmmm, so 2:40 to 3:00 in that video where they shortly mess around with the clean sound, that doesn't sound like a strat to you? that sounds more like a fucking jazzmaster to you?
who is deaf again?
reminder that the only thing that matters is getting a clear and precise signal and everything behind can be modulated
hey guys, newbie here
I've been playing/learning acoustic guitar for couple months now,
a friend lends me his guitar (LAG) and I'm thinking of buying my own because I really enjoy this. I'm looking for used guitar.
there's this old Ovation made in Korea (1987), quite cheap
and there's Seagull mini jumbo entourage which I like the look of it. (price is 2 times the Ovation)
any advice ?
thanks
First, I'm going to post a link to a blind test here. I'm going to ask you watch the whole video so you understand how to take the test properly. If you don't pay attention to the test, you won't be able to judge how well you, personally can differentiate bodies.
Next, I'll explain the science of how the body of a guitar does change the tone. You need to understand both of these things, because there's a big difference between ANY effect and an AUDIBLE effect.
No need to post results here, but try the test and see if you get beyond some small amount of deviation. See if it was difficult or easy to guess the material in each clip. And whatever you do, follow the directions.
http://youtu.be/5vgwaiScrwA
>>66231914
>any advice?
Always use a condom.
tonewood is complete horseshit
pickups, scale length, gauge of strings make up 99.99% of the sound coming out of electric guitar.
>>66231936
thanks but I'm a grill, I don't wear one
Can we stop with muh tone woods already and actually talk about playing guitar
>>66231897
Correcto desu senpai
>>66231916
that video is fucking retarded
even just different angle on the pick on how it strikes the strings will give different tone out of the guitar
the strings are not even in contact with the wood, they are going into bridges or tail pieces of ferrules, you would have yet more stuff that a head of the actual body material in determining sound, fretboards do not change any tone either as the string is tensioned at the fret (metal), not the wood.
>>66231973
I'd like to but the only thing I can talk about is the song I'm playing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-fOpoLtj7U
it's fun
>>66231978
It's also important that the audiance won't care.
>>66232028
it literally just sounds like he didn't adjust the pickup heights to the same height and he's picking in a slightly different location with a different angle on the pick
i'm almost positive he's not picking in the same place, i can HEAR it
>>66232028
There's a strumming rig used for half the samples
Look, you're right about what you say for the most part. There are vibrations, very few of them, that make it through the metal parts and into the body of the guitar. Those are the ones I want to discuss.
To be clear I'm not a tonewood advocate. All my guitars are basswood simply because it's light and cheap. I still have an interest in explaining this stuff just because I want the rest of /gg/ to do more than just trust their ears. The debate will never end that way.
>>66229115
Anon I hacked off almost the entire body and replaced it with a bent wire. It flat-out did slightly change how the guitar sounds.
Material barely matters, but it does a little bit. Having a guitar that's now like 1/4 the size it used to be will affect tone.
>>66232211
>There's a strumming rig used for half the samples
it's a suction cup attached to the body
is it placed in the EXACT same location on both guitars? did he use the same pick? is the angle on the pick striking the strings in exactly the same place in both examples? is that thing striking the strings at exactly the same speed? are the pickup and string heights exactly the same?
anyone who has played the guitar for 6 months knows how simple it is to angle or strike the string in different locations to get a warmer or brighter sound
Let's just call it "Sweatshop Guitar Enthusiasts Playing Through Shitty Amp Sims General", and get it over with.

post anime so the thread gets better lads
how do get gud?
>>66232784
play lots
>>66232784
practice and join a band
>>66232784
Play with a metronome
Learn scales
Find exercises online
Learn songs that you like slowed down with the metronome.
>>66232745
Tele Tomboy-chan~
Asked this in the last thread but how do I learn to play like jmascis
>>66232784
learn songs
once you do that a lot
go to songs that are just the chords and then fill in the rest yourself using the knowledge of what sounds good from the previous learning
Alternatively learn music theory
Can a delay pedal like carbon copy be used as a torture device?
>>66232745
why do so many of them have telecasters
>>66233212
It's the patrician's choice
>>66233198
max out the delay repeats, max out the mix knob, and keep fucking around with the delay timing
yep, it can be used as a torture device.
>>66233212
There probably easier to draw.
And maybe because Beck had a tele
Also because Teles are master race.
>>66231459
i heard the bass big muff was basically a russian muff
>>66233286

Iirc the Russian is the reference design they used to make the Bass Big Muff. I'm really tempted to get a Nano one since Music123 never sent me the Mastotron I bought from them.

>>66230514
3 electrics, two are my favorites and of huge value to me, the other is the beater.
>>66232784
Find other people and play with them, it will absolutely teach you how guitar sits in a real life scenario. Bedroom practice won't do it.
Also practice a lot, learn hard songs that you really really like and learn some basic theory.
>>66228289
The Holcomb is the best PRS SE currently available spec-wise. Looks really nice too and the pickups are very good.
>birds
That just makes it better :^
>>66233548
based on the demos online it seems pretty good, and cheap as well. its a helluva lot better than the normal big muff, that sounds borderline unusable.
>>66233559
strats are the only good single coil guitars out there. rest are for sisterfuckers and pussies like you.
>>66233585
gibsons are ok, strats are best tho
>>66233611
strats are literally a mongoloid version of a tele for basic bitches
>>66233602
lol atleast i use superior guitars and play superior music you fucking pleb
>>66233628
that explains why girls only use teles and not strats. stupid hypocrit.
take the tele with you to the grave after you slit your wrist. this generation is fucked, everyone is a tele playing cuck now
not entirely /gg/ related but did you guys learn to sing while you played guitar?
how do you learn to sing anyway? is there any sort of guide out there like
>>66233630
>i use superior guitars
keep on deluding yourself senpai
>>66233671
>that explains why girls only use teles
what? where the hell did you get this idea? i can't think of any female guitarist that uses a tele, most of them use special snowflake guitars or....strats
>>66229537
>that toanwud discussion
Lovely, I missed this. I enjoy this kind of shitposting and tribalism. More of that please, you people have been way too fucking friendly with each other recently.
>>66233685
justinguitar has some sort of guide on it, he makes it a long process though
>>66233688
>>66233702
why are you still alive
also if you think tonewood has any difference on tone then jump off a bridge immediately and dont look back you fucking nerds
>>66233685
Initially you won't be able to take it slow and just practice speaking the words as you strum
When you know the chord changes really well and don't have to think about them singing gets alot easier
>>66231743
>tfw you knew you wouldn't get a serious answer

>>66233777
im probably better than everyone here partly because i use a strat like a big boy
>>66233685
>not entirely /gg/ related but did you guys learn to sing while you played guitar?
I didn't really. Some things were really easy, and some things aren't. I don't really sing though. Alot of guitarist-songwriters sing in a way that's easy to do while playing. From what I gather you learn by just singing not focusing on pitch, and getting the guitar part committed to memory, and then when you can do that without thinking about it, you can focus on the singing.
>>66233743
>>66233715
what if i straight up cant sing? is singing just practice practice practice? id imagine theres some theory to it too
>>66233777
I'm sick and literally can't hear right now, shitposting is all I have for the next week or so.

jokes on you i'm already good
>>66233794
if you're tone deaf, you can't sing. some people have really shit voices, but they're very few and far in between. most can sing well, just with a bit of practice. practice being in tune when singing.
>>66233815
after im done shitposting
>>66233794
Yes, it's just practice.
>theory
Try to hit the notes, listen for beating, adjust your voice. Also don't do stupid stuff like me when I was singing in 5ths lower or higher than the song because 5ths almost sound as harmonic as an octave.
>>66233813
hey I'm drinking coffee, and listening to Inquisition, gotta take a time out you know
>>66233794
everyone can sing man
being good at singing takes some work even then sometimes not being great at singing yields some interesting results look at J Mascis or Kevin Shields they just mumble into a mic
>>66233777

what bass do i buy /mu/
>>66233958
What's your budget, what kind of music do you play, where do you live?
Would you swap this...
>>66234037
yes
teles are disgusting
>>66233978
Why does it matter where he lives?
>>66234060
Because the market in Europe is different compared to the market in the US. Sandberg is really cheap here compared to fender, for example.
>>66234037
for this???
>>66234083
Yes
>>66234083
bass players need to go play root notes and FUCK OFF
I live in north america. I hope something around $600, I don't know how much a decent instrument should cost though. I'm not a professional, I just want something versatile that isn't trash and will last a long time.( I have a little experience but I'm not good)
>>66234162
>>66233978
*I'm willing to drop up to $800 is it's really worth it
Is the Ibanez RG8 any good? If not, is there a better eight-string for around the same price?
>>66234185
The difference won't be drastic. Sire Marcus Miller V7 comes to mind, a used Warwick, used Fender, etc.
>>66230328
which mods?
>>66234212
thanks!
>>66234162
mim strats are really good, especially the hss versions. i have an hss mim strat, and it can play anything from blues and jazz to hard rock (probably metal too but i dont play metal) and anything in between. im currently satisfied with the pups but if you ever want better pups a loaded pickguard is only $250. mim strats are usually $600 new, although there are deals in guitar center and musicians friend that have them as low as $500.
a good amp is more important than a good guitar, though, remember that.
>>66231643
It's because I already have an ehx polychorus and need a reverb pedal. Plus the true bypass on the small clone makes a horrible click. Do you still think it's a good swap?
>>66234247
He's asking about a bass.
>>66234162
Just get an SX Ursa an put some neat-o pickups in it. Get it fret leveled and you've got the rest of the money to spend on other useful equipment like a good amp and compressor. Remember to have the nut slots filed as well.
>>66234301
They have really shitty necks and I suppose he wants something that works out of the box.
>>66231673
>being this delusional
>>66234199
Schecters in the same price are made in indonesia too, so they should be the same quality, but the Demon 8 is 28" while the RG8 is 27", making it easier to have the right tension on the 8th string.
Don't bother with the Omen 8, it's 26.5", same for Jacksons. Unless you want mud.
Otherwise look into the used market, you might be able to find some used MiK for the same price, which will be better than indonesians
>>66229705
We prefer PRS, 7 string Ibanez, Jackson super strats with a Floyd Rose, and super flamey blue Les Pauls here. Get out, hipster scum.
>>66234341
Man, the necks are good. People buy them for that. They work well enough that a beginner won't need the fret work done for a very long time. But for some reason this beginner is considering spending $800 so I want to help him out there. I forgot obligatory link to a more credible source than anonymous.

what should i look for in gear like this? i'm essentially a baby. thanks for the suggestions
>>66234434
The necks are super chunky, maybe some people like that but they're way too thick for comfortable playing IMO.
Yesterday I bought a new Martin D15ME without a cutout and I need an amp that will go good with it. I know nothing about amps so does anyone have any ideas on what I should get
>>66234434
I have some shitty gear to use for now, but I want to upgrade eventually when i'm comfortable
>>66234488
I have kind of small hands lol.
>>66234562
>without a cutout
Correct choice.
What amp should I get for $200? I have a Pacifica 112v and I'm a beginner, right now I'm using a Vox amplug but I want something better. I will mostly practice with headphones.
>>66234608
if youre mainly practicing with headphones and you have an amplug what's the point of getting a cheap amp
>>66234608
none, save your money for something you can gig with
>>66234488
Dude, what are you talking about? They have a modern D profile and are not as thick as most fender necks. Wish I had a picture for you at the moment. They aren't ibanez thin but the reliability and stability gained doesn't hurt. I can't stand having to play with my truss rod every day, though where I live that can be particularly hard to avoid.
>>66234625
Wouldn't it still be a significant upgrade in sounds especially due to more options in customizing the sound?
>>66234636
There is no way I can gig in the near future with my current skill level, how much should I spend on an amp realistically if I don't upgrade the guitar?

>>66234562
>>66234673
for $200? your amplug is fine.
also you'd be surprised, people have done gigs with little skill on guitar
>>66234637
A good, thin neck won't move if it is properly re-inforced, midrange Ibanez don't have that problem.
>>66234673
You can get a good 1x12" cab for about 100 bucks, for the head it would go from 200 to 500 depending on how much power and versatility you need.
Keep in mind this is speaking more about the used market than new.

>everyone can sing man
this is true to a certain extent. singing has as much to do with your ears as it does with your throat. You might have a pleasant voice tonally but if you can't hear that your pitch is off then it doesn't matter.
Train your ear.
i've had a fender frontman 10g amp for a while and i'm looking to upgrade to something up a price range. what should i get? i'm going to set it as a goal for after i finish this cover i'm working on
So I have this Epi lp that I've been meaning to sell. It's in perfect condition (no dings, hasn't left my house since I bought it) but the only problem with it is that the neck pick up is out 99% of the time. I'm guessing it's a soldering issue because it randomly starts working when I pull the coil tapping knobs up and down. Now which would be smarter. sell the guitar as it is or get it fixed and then sell it?

>Learn songs that you like slowed down with the metronome.
Top tier advice. I'd really like to add to this something I do alot. That's learn songs you like with techniques you're not good at or need work with. Like legatos and arpeggios, or Vamping or String skips and etc etc etc. It's a great way to "practice" something that may or may not be arduous to do by itself in a controlled practice session. Plus it's great if you find yourself sucking at practicing redulsrly, or failing to learn or discover new techniques, it's alot easier to play a song, and it's better than nothing.
Cheers
Guy in my area is asking $500 for an Ibanez lawsuit Strat. Gonna ask for a serial number so I can date it. What should I offer him?
>>66235463
That is nice.
And that guitar.
Hey /gg/, how the hell do I keep my mustang in tune when using the tremolo? As soon as I touch it I fall out of tune instantly. I already have locking tuners which didn't help, any advice?
>>66235463
>tfw no qt pretentious gf
>>66235463
An SG with a trem is not a fucking jazzmaster hybrid you dumbass.
I got a whole bunch of classical sheets and I don't know where to start. I'm decent/good but never played any classical, any ideas as to where I start ?
>>66235703
you need to lube up the nut slots. Also, lift the strings up near the bridge a bit to make sure string isn't bunched up behind the saddle.
If these two things don't fix it, the nut slots probably need to be slightly widened. What gauge strings have you got? Post a picture of your headstock.
I want a teisco VN4 so bad

>>66235796
start by posting a real question
>>66235853
that's an actual question, where do I start with classical, I'm not going to just randomly open sheets because if so, i'm never starting.
>>66234608
vox mini3 or roland micro cube
maybe a fender mini tweed amp
If you're just practicing with headphones there's no real reason for a bigger amp
>>66235828
10s
>>66235703
Make sure the strings aren't sticking in the nut or the trees. Graphite is a great lube for the nut(or get a bone one), just draw with a pencil in the grooves. For the trees if they're clean and smooth they should be good.
And wind your strings neat man. Stack them up right, you'd be surprised. Even on my acoustic when I half ass a string job I can bend it out of tune in a single song.
>>66235769
Well to be fair it does have a jaguar/jazzmaster tremolo system.
>>66235979
Yeah I've tried the pencil markings on the nut before, I'll try to string it a little different this time around. Thanks man.
>>66235954
Do you only have one wrap on your strings?
>put 12s on guitar after using 10s and 9s my whole life
What am I in for?
>>66235954
Did you use the same gauge strings as the guitar was set up on? Its important that you set up your guitar again if you change gauges
>>66236088
Heavier strings, fatter sounds. That's bout it.
>>66236051
Yeah, I was in a hurry last time a restrang it, I've gotta do a less shit job this time.
>>66236103
yeah it's always been set up with 10s.
>>66235954
You should be fine with just the advice I gave you, though for various reasons .11s are recommendable, I guess it's not crucial. Worth a shot if all else fails. Personally, I would have .12s on it. But .10s shouldn't have tuning issues with your setup if you fix the nut.
By the way, by lubing the nut I mean graphite lube. You can use store bought graphite lube or just thoroughly rub a pencil in the slots.

>>66229537
Hey /mu/. Say im in the key of e minor. How do I make my my stuff sound like the different modes in the scale? For example, E minor (E aeolian) has the same notes as G major (G ionian). They are the same thing in different orders. What do I have to do to make them sound distinct? Sorry if im using the wrong terms, it's been a while since i took lessons. Thanks.
>>66236646
thanks breh but any specific sites?
>>66236680
ionno
>>66236647
If you play the G Ionian scale over a chord progression rooted in G major, that makes it Ionian. If you play it over an Em rooted chord progression, that makes it Aeolian. Ionian and Aeolian simply means major and minor. When it comes to modes, it all comes down to the chord progression you play it over and how you phrase yourself.
Also, what a horribly cheesy guitar and guitar strap. I really hope thats not your actual guitar, if so just stop playing or kill yourself.
>>66236088
A lot of annoying tuning issues, since you didn't file the nut or adjust your setup.
>>66236647
I think I understand what you're asking.
Focus on the leading tones, which ultimately suggest major progressions. Have your downbeats land on major or minor-focused notes, like a half-cadence where the end note is a minor 3rd, or a perfect-authentic cadence with the leading voice moving from F# to G. But keep in mind that the key is suggested more through the progression rather than the specific notes.
I dropped out of music school, so this may be partially flawed info. Good luck.

This gets asked a lot, and I'm sorry.
I need an electric guitar. There is no particular sound I want to replicate, and I'm having a lot of trouble actually narrowing down the search as every time I try the selection seems to grow.
I've been playing for a few years, on and off. There is no particular sound I want to replicate, I'm not into metal, some bands I like: Sonic Youth, The Doors, The Gun Club. I like the look of Jazzmasters & Jaguars most.
My price limit is about US$700. I'm most scared of getting a 'gimmick' guitar that won't last and be reliable.
Any input is appreciated, thank you
>>66237433
Dude, that's exactly it. It takes a lot of skills to keep idiots from throwing a fit and raging. Also leading people who don't want to be led is a good skill for working with bandmates with egos.
>>66237468
I think you should lower your budget by a lot. You don't really need to spend that much to get a good sound and reliable neck.
>>66237532
Okay, cool. What would you suggest then?
>>66237430
More common than you think, friend
>>66237468
It's as simple as googling "best cheap electric guitars" and lower your budget to like $300-$400 if you don't know what sound you're looking for and only play off and on; buying used is another good option

I am gonna try to help you out. Do yourself a HUGE favor and buy a Japanese or higher-end Mexican Stratocaster. it's a classic tool that every guitarist should have in their possession. as someone who has been playing over half their life, I'm glad I started on a Strat and I wouldn't recomment Fender offsets to a beginner.
I need a bit of help regarding powering my (planned) pedalboard, pic related.
Right now I only have a Ditto Looper with a Planet Waves 9V adapter. https://www.amazon.com/Planet-Waves-9V-Power-Adapter/dp/B00191WVF6/
Aside from the positive tip jack for the BMP, can I just buy a daisy chain - https://www.amazon.com/Snark-SA-2-Pedal-Daisy-Chain/dp/B0052745WK/ - connect it to the 9V adapter I already have, and connect the five jacks to the five pedals?
Thanks in advance.
>>66237581
Honestly, it's tough to make a recommendation for an all around guitar. That just makes me tempted to suggest the same guitar I started with. Avoiding that, I'd say an ash hawk. It's got a tremolo, which you may or may not be interested in, but you can disable it.
>>66237581
Not that anon but get an HSS pickup configuration and you'll be golden for what you want. Like a $500 fender or a $300 Ibanez
>>66237928
HSS pickups are a great idea. Another very powerful configuration is H-P90. HSS is a lot more common though.
>>66237468
Used MIA HSS Strat if you can find one, or higher end Japanese/Mexican HSS strat.
You will be golden and be able to play nearly anything.
