I can "Jazz Fusion" shred but I can't "swing" at all. And I'm not talking about just guitar phrasing either.


And I'm not talking about Wes Montogmery/Joe Pass stuff I'm talking like stuff like this.

I'd say that too, the lead follows the drum in that case, it's a much more rythmic approach to it.
Think about staccato too, it adds much more depth to your sound than people think, everyone's always talking about legato, but a good staccato can add in that little extra thing.

Okay /gg/, I've got an actual question for you. A friend of mine wants to get into playing either guitar or bass. He's undecided which he wants to do yet, though.

Do you have any suggestions as to a decent budget option(s) for both but especially guitar? I don't want to recommend something to him that'll make him hate it, nor do I want him to wind up spending way more than he has to.

hey guy's I'm thinking about getting some effects for my guitar to play stuff like AM, QOTSA, Tame Impala and Mac Demarco.
I think I might get a Big Muff, a Holy Grail and a Small Stone (last 2 both nano)
are there better/similar/cheaper pedals that might get the sound I'm looking for? what would you recommend?
>>
>>66246776
A good Internet research on the basics of tube amps and personally try A LOT of different models out, there's many differences depending on the sound you wish to achieve, even varying the tubes can give you different sound properties.
I'd say don't buy anything you haven't personally listened playing, recordings often sound misleading
>>
>>66246840
will they literally explode?

& my friend was telling me something about not having any hope of getting a good tone out of a tube amp unless the volume is cranked up as high as possible in order to warm up the tubes or something
a specific tube amp i'm looking at is a bugera 6260 infinium combo. i'm only scared to buy something really good because of my lack of knowledge of tube amps and how to keep them working without potentially wrecking them
>>
>>66246972
I meant follow thru on why you think he's a shit player besides the fact that he and rob chapman both have signature guitars.
>>
>>66246984
nah those are all solid and pretty cheap both new and used. you can get away with a nano big muff, too. fyi if you like the sound of russian big muffs get the new bass big muff which is essentially the same thing.
>>
>>66247108
also check out the bad stone. i think it's the same price as the small stone but has more knobs to fiddle with.

>>66247108
damn anon I just heard the bass big muff and it sounds kinda similar to QOTSA and some Tame Impala tones, nice tip!

I didn't say he's a shit player, I said the music you posted is shit. I don't give a fuck if the guy can play beethoven's 5th backwards on a monocycle, I care about what he composes. Which judging from what you posted here, is shit.

this is a good example of where i can like shred - its not overdone and feels like extra flourish, which is what I like it to be used as

>>66247922
this is a little similar to that, the shreddy parts are used to move from chord to chord, which is more jazz than anything, i also appriciate the fact that the changes are interesting here too

>>66248147
i don't disagree with the fact that nuno has more chops but I just haven't heard him do anything that uses shred stuff as well as gilbert or friedman do, honestly

Wut. I thought buttrock was Poison, AC/DC and simple I IV V distorted chords. This is more like wank rock.

It's just better built, another anon on here had switch problems with his but I bought one anyways and sure enough the switch on mine broke too. TC Electronics has pretty shitty build quality tbqh, I have a Polytune from them that's falling apart.

I know this is bait but anyways...
Single tone and volume is more convenient when performing. In the case of the JPs you can use the piezo toggle as a dank killswitch if you turn the piezo volume all the way down.

damn, I really want an avri. would you recommending saving up for a used one over the mexican classic player?
>>
>>66251530

They're very different guitars, CP have the trem closer to the bridge and tune-o-matic bridges and the pickups are more like P-90s than real JM pups.

I suggest you play both first, I would save for an AVRI just because I love JM pickups.

I've honestly never played one of those, the specs are nice.

buy it for $85. NO ONE will give him anymore. There are better deals for used tube and better bigger solid state amps. He's just tryting to get rid of it like everyone else.

What year and where was your amp made? I now some HR series amps have a gain mod that heavily increases the volume at 30%-50% but doesn't go much louder after 60%
>>66251891
I own one of these they play like shit, but if you really want one just get any cheapo teisco for under $150. It's all in those silver Japanese wound P90 pickups anyways so your best bet would buy some cheap ones from a project salvage and put it in a guitar that has a P90 mount or swimming pool route
>>66250087
Yup That's me, I'd say go for the hot rails to be safe since I haven't played those GFS either but they do seem fitting. Plus you can always score a SD hot rail used for under $40 anyways. For the wiring you're gunna want to have it professionally done. Mines a bit fucked since I wired the pickups like a strat so there's not IN/OUT of phase and although it mixes well when I isolate the bridge I lose a lot of volume

A good place to start is putting a slow blues backing track and start experimenting with it, just play a lick, then a bar of improvisation, then a lick, then strum the right chord and so on. In a couple of weeks you'll became way more fluid

>That combo is shit.
Actually the combo tends to sound better due to running a much higher bias than the heads. Just avoid the newer Chinese ones and drop V30s in and you're set.
>>
>>66254073
i give better advice then most, if my shit doesnt apply to you, go back to a friendly form like ILF, faggot.

What's shit about it? Was actually thinking about buying the 6505+ combo.

Just bought my little girl a Peavey Patriot with one humbucker and she loves it. She's learning Love Gun. Playing and singing it. She a bad ass.

>>66254095

Have A/B'd 5150 2x12, 6505 2x12 6505+ 112, 5150, 5150 II, 6505 and 6534+. We have them all available. The combos run bias closer to 35mA the heads are more like 8-10mA. Granted it can be fixed with a simple bias mod but there's certainly nothing wrong with the combos. The construction has suffered on the newer models mainly from the move to China.

In contrast the construction on the American combos was fine it was just the speaker that was nothing special.
