When are you going to finally man up and learn it /v/ ? It's 10 times easier since the 90s.
Never, guitars are irrelevant nowadays and have no use, pointless.
>>338022372
Why would you need a stupid game to learn how to play the guitar?
If learning itself isn't enjoyable enough for you then you shouldn't be playing guitar.
I dropped guitar for piano.
Guitar is for normies, piano takes more skill and sounds better
>>338022425
It's a neat hobby, anon.
but I've already been playing for close to 15 years
>>338022482
95% of people who say they play guitar are fucking shit desu

My stratocaster has been collecting dust in the corner of my room for well over a decade.

>>338022541
nope, i took 4 years in high school and skipped from beginning from advanced in 6 months.
And we didnt play dumb shit like tabs, we played actual classical guitar in an ensemble.
Why does Rock Band only feature white people instruments?
Where's the diversity?

>>338022903
>piano is easier
It literally isn't. Maybe you're thinking of a keyboard?
if you don't start learning piano before puberty your hands will not develop in order to play it correctly.
>>338022372
Because I already know the G, D Minor, and C# chords.
Literally no other reason to know any other chords ever.
I've played forever and I can generally think of what sound I make, pick up the guitar and make it even if I don't play for a year or whatever. But I never practiced with a metronome so I'd probably suck if I tried to jam with someone.
Do you guys recommend Rocksmith™?
>>338022482
Hope you got an upright piano, anything else is a waste of time
>>338022372But I've been learning for 10 years anon
>>338022903
Both have their hard and easy ways of playing, no need to denounce the other.
>>338022685
Wow, I just discovered this app.
Thanks for telling me about it. I love rhythmic games that teach me stuff.

>>338023021
You'd be fine. Metronome are overrated. If you don't ever plan on playing seriously, there is no need for one.
Rocksmith would not help you with staying on beat. If you can't stay on beatyou're probably a drummer

Yeah right, I play guitar actively for longer than most of /v/ has been alive and I can tell you that unless you have it in you to just go to the guitar by your own lonesome playing at least two hours a day and not due to a video game, you are just wasting your time.
Just to put things in perspective, big known professionals play on average 8 hours a day.
>>338022856
This is also mandatory, you will develop bad habits that will not go away and will just frustrate you making it worse to keep motivation. Thanks to this, to this day I still have problems on getting on paper my own time signatures for my songs even though I can explain and play them without any problem.
I've been wanting to get it, but don't have a guitar. And I don't know enough about them to make a decent purchase
What would you recommend for a total novice that wants to learn with rocksmith?

>>338024407
>>338024118
This is not quite right. Going from a guitar perspective, thinner strings with less tension and closer to frets will allow you to be faster at the expense of sound and not being able to play on any other guitar that hasn't been modified to hell and back.
Who gets good due to perseverance on a normal instrument, will be a god on a finely tuned instrument.
Same thing as exercising with weights on your limbs.

Piano and guitar are some of the easiest instruments to learn how to play. That said, there are way more advanced techniques in guitar then there are in piano.

It's fun for someone like me who's never held a guitar before but I already see I'll need to look for more proper lessons that will teach me to play on my own. And work my way through at least basic music theory because all this shit about scales and progressions is total voodoo to me now. And I don't want to be stuck just monkeying shit on the screen.
But I already play the guitar and it is probably the only thing that I find genuinely fun when I'm in the right mood

Man, my first guitar was a shitty acoustic i bought for like 50 bucks and that got me through most of the beginner stuff
But when i first got a legit one, it's like i'm on another lever
I understand a good guitar is important for a beginner, but in the end all you need is some motivation and passion for learning
>>338028142
You can't use what for anything? A guitar? The game? Are you retarded?
>>338023556
My first Guitar was an Epiphone Les Paul Special and I learnt how to play the songs I like off the internet. Anything a teacher will tell you can be found on YouTube. You don't need to waste money on lessons or Rock Smith.
>>338028367
play the tetris theme
>>338023556
Just buy a cheap squire strat or some kind of Epiphone les paul or SG. Watch some basic beginner videos on youtube, learn some simple songs and try to use what you have learned to make a simple chord progression or something. I used Rocksmith for a little but I don't really think it's anything but a little bit of fun desu. Learning a song at your own pace and then taking it to Rocksmith works well though, provided it in the game of course. Gets you playing up to speed and all that.
Don't focus on learning too hard either, just do whatever you feel like at whatever pace. One of my friends picked up guitar a little while ago and he pressured himself into learning all the scales, modes and heaps of theory.
>>338026697
I played 10 years of violin and 4 of guitar
>>338028685
It's still a good idea to have someone who knows his shit check your technique. Shitty technique is exceptionally hard to unlearn
>>338023556
I was in exact same place as you and after maybe 15 hours of reading and research I made an awesome purchase that I'm happy with and some experienced players commended.
Protips:
- don't buy your first guitar new, it's a waste of money
- don't spend more than $100 on your first guitar (I paid $105 but that included small practice amp too)
- get one with Floyd Rose (or derivative) bridge, you'll curse it at first but you'll be extremely thankful a week later
- there are many cheap shit Stratocaster copies, avoid them, they're cheap shit for a reason
- after buying your new used guitar change strings right away
- 0.7 to 1.0 picks are good for starters, Tortex are great, get the Dunlop pick sampler and see what feels good for you
- pick-up config don't matter too much for starters but learn about pick-ups and use it when choosing your guitar if you know what music you want to play, I got H-H for the heavy shit but you're just as well off with S-S-S
- the one I got is Ibanez RG120, they have cheaper more entry-level models but they're built cheaper and with worse components and I wanted mine to last longer, it's worth the extra $20-40
I'm still a total beginner but that's what I learned. Good luck.
>>338029171
>FR on a $100 guitar
That's an excellent way to make yourself hate the guitar and drop it like a hot potato three weeks into your attempts to learn it
>>338022651
But garbage features prominent guitar work. And ms. Mansons(sp?) vocals.
>>338029590
oh yeah i already listened to that
>>338029327
Why? Setting it up was a pain, setting intonation and action was even bigger pain, but it taught me a fuckton about the instrument and once I did it properly it holds tune rock-solid and throughout the scale.
It's only annoying to re-tune to alternative tunings for some songs but the extra 2 minutes it takes is a totally worth it tradeoff for all the benefits.
>>338026868
>>338027553
>>338028367
That's really awesome.
>>338022372
Have that same guitar. Enjoy your intonation issues.
Guitar is very easy to learn. Writing and original song isn't.
>>338029954
Thanks, i'm glad you like it.
>>338027132
Actually you could easily sink 600 plus hours into rocksmirh. You are forgetting the mini games which all teach guitar techniques in progressively more difficult fashion. And practicing those are actually fucking god like useful. Especially the chords etc ones so you learn by muscle memory every iteratio of note and chords possible.
But you are right. Fuck playing the 'game' part of the game. That just teaches you to play songs. Which is the worst method of learning an instrument.

Learning guitar is pointless and the game is basically a way to learn how to play a guitar or for people that can play a guitar to have a more immersive experience.
Blowing all that money on something useless like that is a fucking waste.

No, it's time to learn harmonica.

Harmonica is pretty easy desu, the only problem is learning how to bend and overblow

Why? Mamma brings Moomin back the way he was with her /mother magic/. It's really tender and sweet.
>>338031607
Its still pretty horrible though, that first moment when he notices.
But yeah, most things always end up well in the end.

Cheap floating bridges are a minefield that a beginner really shouldn't step into. There are exceptions and you apparently landed a really good one, but there are also way too many bridges that will never hold the tune, the adjustments don't work half the time and actually using the whammy bar will fuck your tune and setup all over again.
Getting a guitar with a (good) floating bridge is a good idea later down the line, but as a first guitar I'd recommend a decent one with a fixed bridge. It lets you forget about the technical issues, and there's less of a risk you get a lemon to end them all, featuring endless tuning issues and hourly setup sessions

One octave and 3 or 4 keys is about standard. I can just barely manage an octave and 6 keys in my right hand.

Yeah good luck making bends 2 times hard than they already were
Not only that but good luck going to any other tuning besides E Standard and Drop D

Fair point, I won't really argue with my less than 6 months experience, I'm glad I apparently got lucky.
At the same time, in my research I didn't see many cheaper guitars than mine with floating bridges and Ibanez is a good maker and RG120 a decent model. But then I did do a ton of research starting from literally zero knowledge so I think anyone with a brain could do that and avoid getting a dud.
Further to that while reading RS forums I've seen many people crying that their fixed bridge guitars sound like shit, are off by this much when fretted on 12th, sometimes to the point of RS failing to recognise the notes - and their guitars cost like 75% of mine.
But I already do OP. 10 years strong.Ibanez and Jasmine are my brands.Dean Les Pauls are fucking great though.

Music is gay as fuck
I play guitar, harmonica and violin. Plan to learn piano someday. You nerds got nothing on me.
Also, harmonica is the HARDEST to learn, holy shit, you'd think such a small object would be easy to handle.
Been playing a long time OP.
>>338034246
Why it's hard?
Bends?
>>338022493
I already have neet hobbies
who /classical guitar/ here?
>>338033795
Oh, I missed the part where you said what model you had. Yeah, Ibanez's cheaper models are actually really solid for the price, I started off with the RG321 and I still have it, I just need to make a new nut for it. Also for what it's worth, your guitar actually doesn't have the FR-style double locking bridge setup, but rather a more traditional Stratocaster-style bridge and those are generally harder to fuck up.
>But then I did do a ton of research starting from literally zero knowledge so I think anyone with a brain could do that and avoid getting a dud.
You did good, but unfortunately a disturbingly large amount of people isn't capable of that for some reason

I play electric too, nothing wrong with it

Mine started the same way but Ive forced myself to acquire dexterity and strength by going out of my way to use and abuse it.
>>338034634
This is gonna sound cliché as fuck, but just fucking do it.
There should be some schools for lessons if you're interested, and if not then there are various resources online that can help out to get you started.just be prepared to suck dick the first years or so, and remember to practice daily

I knew I had to get one ever since I heard the original recording of Foggy Mountain Breakdown. Bought a cheap one and started learning from tabs and youtube videos.
Coming from guitar, it's a ridiculously ungrateful instrument. On the guitar, you can just play 4 power chords in a loop and it will sound decent, if you grab it wrong or miss a string you can just power through it and keep your rhythm. On the banjo you HAVE to learn every measure note by note (and there's a lot of notes) and play it flawlessly. If you miss a note, you'll lose your fingering and most likely stall. Also, the last string on the picking side isn't the last string on the fretting side, that takes a while to get used to.
Learning a 1:30 minute long tune takes days to weeks of practice to be able to play it at 2/3 the tempo and make it sound like actual music. Poor choice of instrument to impress chicks.
I've been playing for a year and a half and can play FMB at ~220BPM. The original is around 300BPM.

I had to change the nut on mine. Some retard filed the slots down to almost Mariana trench depth and I couldn't get the action right no matter what. But with the new one everything fell into place nice and smooth like a puzzle. I felt a bit uneasy about changing it but it turned to be a walk in a park.
And yeah, my bad for calling any generic floating bridge FR, I guess that's a bad habit I picked from reading some forums.
>>338022372
Why should I? Why should I take the time to learn something I couldn't care less about? Tell me OP.
>>338022372
But I do know how to play guitar, I'm just severely shit at it.
Also, electric is rad as fuck, but fingerstyle on an acoustic is top-tier.
Is it true that if I leaned how to play guitar I would become a smug elitist faggot?
>>338037795

Yes but only bass guitar.
