>>61148873

>>61148873
Yeah, but not till after christmas
>>61148883
he wants 100 for it, it's a 90 watt
>>61148901
lol
>>61148917
it's your opinion whether you like it desu, not what some autists on a board think. Although for 100 you can't really go wrong
>>61148959
I'll check it out, just wanted to see if anybody had one or knew about it here.
It would be a good backup amp i think
>>61148454
I laughed.
>>61148602
If anything multiscale ERGs are more useful than their counterparts. The high strings on longer scales end up sounding pretty weird usually.
>>61148798
>>61148917
>>61148959
Are you sure it's a Deluxe Reverb? At $100 that doesn't sound right to me.
>>61148996
It might not be a deluxe reverb, he just told me it's a deluxe. It might be not what you're thinking
>>61148117
No. I own an sx liquid and really like it. :^)
>>61148989
so it's not a deluxe reverb then
what the fuck is it exactly
>>61149036
Idk anything about it. I haven't played it, he just told me about it.
>>61148996
I know that, I'm just acknowledging my own autism.
>>61149063
it might possibly be a Deluxe 900. I'm not exactly a Fender connoisseur but I didn't think a deluxe reverb came in 90w
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9TBvEtKGjM
check the guitar in this song it's thick solid tight
>>61149094
That is most likely it, looking it up it seems to be a solid-state which throws me off a bit because of the possible thin sounding cleans.
Any of you guys see the livestream Toontrack did with Devin Townsend where he recorded a whole song in two hours?

You can tell if somebody enjoys a hot meme or two if they have fanned frets

Finished evening up the clear coat, ordered a bridge, pickguard and neckplate. Just gotta wait on arrival. All blacked out, have a Seymour Duncan pairing of the Pegasus and a Sentient to throw in it. Gonna be my DIY Jim Root Jazzmaster.
All from scratch from Spanish Cedar.
>>61149203
Don't knock it till you try it familia. Fanned frets are pretty sweet.
so i finally have a decent solo set put together. just nice slow and quiet folk songs. i want to get something like a blues jr and a new guitar to perfect my sound. i was thinking of a strat, but i also think a warm humbucker sound would go really well with it too. what do you think? best guitar to play out of a blues jr?
>>61148066
All I want for Christmas is an Epiphone Emperor Swingster.
Should I get my Rogue bass set up?
>>61149224
Thats awesome but i gotta ask about the body. The wood looks weird and bumpy.
>>61149244
If you can find a hot rod deluxe for cheaper than a blues jr, i would go for that desu
I have a question about CAGED minor scale forms and music theory.
- Why does playing the D scale form over the C octave shape (and C over A, and A over G, ect.) result in a minor scale instead of a major?
- Are they the same thing as pentatonic scales? I have tons of questions but I don't know if /gg/ likes being used for this.
>>61149310
Yeah, I didn't use any wood filler or anything, just brushed on and sanded to relatively flat. I don't have the paintbooth/air brush/patience to do super flat pro finishes.
>>61149364
why?
I feel like such an idiot. It's my first time learning any instrument, I picked up a bass guitar because why the hell not. Played for a few months to get the basics right and now I have a teacher. The most important part for now (except for basic technique) is to immediately know all the notes and where they are in the fretboard for every string and to learn sheet music apparently. Both of those seem fucking impossible to me. I've been trying for 3 weeks now, and I'm usually a fast learner, but for some reason I can't freaking memorise where those notes are and I can't fluently read sheet music. What the hell is up with that? Is it supposed to take that long? I know that I sound like an annoying prick right now but this is starting to get frustrating.
>>61149764
eventually it will click for you and you'll go from knowing nothing to what feels like everything
>>61149744
Takes pedals very well, has 3 channels and i think you will just be much happier especially if you ever need to cut through a mix
>>61149831
also imo Blues Jr has a pretty thin tone
>>61149831
does it have reverb like the blues jr? i don't care about pedals. i want a thick warm clean sound
>>61149843
Yes sir.
>>61149805
Eh, I'm not so sure about that. How long did it take any of you guys to fluently read sheet music or to be completely aware of every note in every position you're playing in?
>>61149865
it was super easy for me maybe i'm just autistic
>>61149893
Or maybe I'm just stupid... Eh, back to practice. I'll check the thread later.
>>61149939
you're not stupid anon everyone learns at their own pace. just keep practicing as long as you're having fun
>>61149132
I watched it when it was linked in the other thread. I've always kind of liked Devin Townsend, but nothing of his ever stuck to me before. But that track is fucking great. I definitely have riff envy for that chorus riff

I'm often surprised by people owning more than one P-bass. What's the difference between the two you own, and why is it worth it for you?
>>61150422
That's would be true if any wood was actually soft enough for this to be the case. But in reality the only way the wood effects the tone is with a very thin bottom of a neck pocket on a bolt on guitar, so thin that the wood could be bent by hand. In other words, no guitar ever.
>>61150872
>he doesn't hear the difference between different body or fretboard woods
Only a complete and total amateur would think that.
>>61149840
>>61149843
I don't find the Blues Jr thin, but it's definitely no Twin.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaTpqsRdZ-Q
>>61149865
I knew it from playing piano. Took awhile to link the knowledge back to guitar, but it clicked eventually.
>>61151357
it's also have the price and size of a twin. not really a fan of the hot rod deluxe either. if i didn't get a blues jr i'd spring for a princeton reverb but i think a blues jr is good for what i want it to do.
>>61150979
It's understandable that you think this. You might find this video interesting. Let me tell you right off the author doesn't believe in the effects of tonewoods in solidbodies. But the video is just a test of different tonewoods, without any other differences in the test. Draw your own conclusions.

I bet you didn't even feel the frets oscillate differently depending on the wood. Have fun with your low grade hearing and the resulting low grade music. Fucking amateurs.
>>61151617
Thank you kind anon
>>61151597
Its all good baby you got me with the balsa wood thing. I shoulda said no wood ever used in a guitar. But now I want to try to make a balsa wood body, see how long till it cracked.
>>61151700
Sorry, but the frets don't move at all on a well built guitar. I wish I didn't have a family.
>>61151746
>Its all good baby you got me with the balsa wood thing. I shoulda said no wood ever used in a guitar. But now I want to try to make a balsa wood body, see how long till it cracked.
lel, it will probably bend before breaking
>>61151700
have fun with your loose frets m8
>>61151746
forgot to say that a common thing among cheap guitar makers is using wood regardless of knots. Knots concentrate stress, and make cracks easier to happen. The guy from the tonewood rebuttal video has one on chibsons, he explains this too.
I know it because I had to study about it in my engineering classes.

BTW, coming back to a discussion from last thread, true temperament is a fucking meme. You'd have to have the lightest touch ever for it to be actually accurate, and not being able to adjust it means you can't get a different string gauge.
>>61151963
>Not knowing exactly what gauges you want
>Not using one tuning per guitar
Anyone know what guitar this is? Or even what the color scheme is called? Beautiful as fuck.
>>61151997
>tuning
who said anything about that?
what's wrong with having options? fuck off
my strat might be a pain in the ass to change gauges but at least I can do it if I want to without rebuilding the damn guitar
https://youtu.be/tfWXnLXYZvE
Discuss.
>>61151963
Holy shit I hadn't even heard about that. What a load of bullshit, I bet those people must hate fretless instruments since all those funny vibrations when they're playing a note off by 1/10th millimeter really ruins everything.
I have pic related. I still play quite a bit of metal but want to get some more versatile pickups since it's got the emg81s. Any suggestions before I order some bareknuckles?

>>61152087
Shitty pitch for relic guitars which are a meme and near the height of faggotry
>>61152090
I bet it even sounds worse than a normal guitar since the very imperfections give music a more "organic" feel. Might as well play a digital synth instead.
>>61152096
what guitar is that? The inlays make me curious.
>>61152374
Not him but it looks like an Eclipse with an LP control configuration
>>61152460
isn't the horn too "curled" for an ESP?
>>61152292
Standard size hollow bodies. I own a rickenbacker 360 and they're about the same, but the rick is half an inch thinner.
are there good electric guitars / amps for folk music? i really like how slow fingerpicking on an electric sounds
>>61152096
If you're looking for versatility you might consider adding some controls that let you sculpt the tone more. I would recommend a single coil blender or a series/parallel blender control. The series/parallel option would be the less drastic of the options and won't compromise the hum canceling. If you object to adding control pots you can just add a switch instead of a blend. It's worth the trouble, and none of these mods will alter your tone when disabled completely and with a no load pot.
>>61152531
No he's right. The image is from Google but only difference is those aren't stock knobs
>>61152545
fender princeton, vox ac 15 maybe.
>>61152545
Pretty much any guitar with single coils can do the job. I dunno about amps.
>>61152556
oh interesting
sharing a rare gibson with u FaM
it gave the LP its shape
>>61152588
ew lp hollow. The eclipse is always in that pain job, and I can spot one a mile away. It's an ltd esp, for sure.
>>61152620
That's not a hollowbody, just a semihollow. I can tell from the pixels.
>>61152582
i was thinking humbuckers would be better since they have a warmer sound. why do you say single coils?
>>61152650
kek, nice meme
>>61152620
yeah, that's where Les Paul and Ted McCarty got the shape to make the Gibson Les Paul
>>61152689
I would expect that the clarity of a single coil would help with clean tones. if you are looking for that warmth however, you might go for an alnico 2 humbucker in the bridge. I don't know, it is up to what you want. If you are dead set on humbuckers why not. Just coil tap them!
>>61152754
i suppose i could look for a s/s/hh strat. i'll play some single coils though and see how i feel. thanks anon
>>61152096
>bareknuckles
Bareknuckles. Do it. Been using them for somewhere between five and seven years now (I forget).
>>61152374

how's everyone doing? learn or write any new songs? buy any new gear?
>>61153550
Learning "Ain't talking bout love". Discovered by accident that modifying its first chord I could get the Hangar 18 riff so I'm learning that too now.

>>61153550
just bought a five string fretless. the previous owner had round wounds and i decided to switch them to half rounds. Turns out they cost 50$ per set. Damn. Thank god that this bass has ebony fretboard so round wounds doesn't destroy it completely.

>Bought this.
>So long, tone suck!
you might want to get one of those mods
Has anyone ever noticed how shit Ltd basses are? Or is that just me?
>>61153954
Yes they are.
Started fucking around with Don't Talk to Strangers/Ain't Talkin' Bout Love for no reason tonight and wasn't getting picking right/adding notes where there shouldn't be. Pick up my Jazz III and it all comes together.
I feel really bad for my LPJ, I've had it only a year and there's several nasty scuffs and it's already aged 20 years in terms of its looks.
>>61153990
The weird thing is that in my case the problem was the fretting hand lel. I guess it makes picking easier thus making it easier to focus on other things without fucking up the picking.
>>61149224
Are you getting a mastery bridge?
So for how long should I be able to play on metal strings before my fingers give up?
I'm a complete beginner, and my fingers start complaining after 5 min. Will it be like this for the first few weeks? I take breaks and then come back to it, but my fingers get fucked up regardless.
>>61154890
That's how I was when I first started.
Around week 2, I started getting callouses and I could play longer. After that, I could mess around on the guitar for around an hour, no problem. Even now, they'll still ache but it's a pain I can play through.
I tried Elixir strings for the first time, because they came on my Taylor, and now I can mess around on the guitar for much longer than I could before.
>>61153550
I'm taking a break from fingerpicking stuff and decided to learn a few simple Norah Jones songs. Now I'm trying to look for more nice songs to play. I feel like I keep running out of songs to learn.
I got a Taylor 110 as an early Christmas gift. Now I don't need to borrow my dad's guitar.
>>61154965
Alright. It's just a pain when I want to play, but my fingers won't let me. Good thing I've got nothing but time on my hands right now due to the holidays.
>>61155120
Yeah, I know that feeling.
If the guitar's been messed with before, you should also check the action/bridge height if you can. My dad's guitar had a ridiculous amount of action that made it nearly impossible to play, especially for a beginner. It made things so much easier after I fixed it.
I gave my cocaine dealer the green box of Patron Tequila. Let him use my Mesa Mark V and Music Man guitar. He still gave me 40 bucks worth. xmas is for suckers.
blah, settings are different. Taking the fx loop out removes the REAL master volume and solo boost function. That was interesting to find out.
>>61155183
I thought about that, but I checked it yesterday and the action doesn't seem to be that high. It's brand new though, so maybe I have to "break it in" or something, I don't know shit about guitars.
>>61155211
I really like my Orange Duel Terror compared to the Mark V. Its rawer and and just easier to fuck with. Mark V is tighter, but the Orange is stupid easy to use.
>>61155248
Use a Boss Super OD and it sustains like crazy. No fx loop means I can never really kill the noise/hum
>>61155211
>>61155248
I'm looking forward to adding another Mark to my collection. Plan to grab a red stripe Mark III and convert it to a rack preamp. Then either use the poweramp from a blue stripe Mark III or a Mesa 2:100.
>>61155325
Do you actually use your amps for anything? I charge outrageous prices to track as session with mine. I love the tightness, I hate the noise, I love all the options, I hate the spring reverb, I also hate the first gen ISP decimator I bought for it. The channel switching on the Mark V kinda sucks too. Really Punch in like.
>>61155879
>Do you actually use your amps for anything?
I'm not sure what you mean. I play guitar? What else would I use them for.
>I also hate the first gen ISP decimator
You were using it wrong then. Was it in the loop or up front?

You definitely arent making money off music then. Amps like that are investments. I dont think you know shit about anything. Prove me wrong.

>You definitely arent making money off music then. Amps like that are investments.
I run a home studio and charge for reamping and tracking. I also loan gear out. Make no mistake though, I buy the gear for myself. It's my interest. Regardless Mark IIIs are hardly expensive.
>I dont think you know shit about anything. Prove me wrong.
I'm not sure why you are getting so hostile. I have a good reputation here, I don't need to 'prove' anything to you.
About to jam with a drummer I have never seen in a couple of hours. I'm so old I've forgotten full songs and only remember riffs from songs. I have a ton of original ideas but what if he gets board or thinks I'm pathetic?
It's been 10 years since I've played with a drummer. About the save time my cukship was placed upon me.
What if he's a murderer? I'm scared. Hold me?
>>61156350
I really cant wait until you stop posting in these threads. You waste so much time here, I bet your sessions are shit. Your gear is mediocre, Im pretty sure you have no real experience, more than sure you're tone deaf. Prove me wrong.
>>61156391
Is there any particular reason you're being so hostile?
>>61156413
Because I can be. This is /mu/, we all hate music here for all the right reasons.

Learn the A Natural Minor scale starting on the 5th fret of the E string. Learn all the note names in the scale at that position. They are all natural notes; no accidentals. Once you have those memorized, you can easily find the accidentals by going a fret above or below most of the natural notes. Eventually, this will become second nature and you won't have to think about an accidental's relationship to an adjacent natural note and you will be able to find the accidental right off. Once you have master of this position, move the scale to another position on the neck and follow the same process.
This works for C major as well, because it has all the same notes as A minor, the main distinction is that the emphasis on the tonal center changes to a different note (C).
>>61156426
There's really no reason to shit post for the sake of shit posting, especially in /gg/. I post clips and occasionally videos here, so I don't feel even a slight need to prove anything.
I was going to try and help you get the most out of that ISP Decimator since I've been using them for years but you decided to have a tantrum for no reason.
>>61156463
I really dont give a shit bro. You do you. Stay small time.
>>61156362
it's too early for this sgb. This is kangaroo thirty.
Just be cool. You'll probably have to play riffs over and over because drummers are pretty much always in the hot seat to produce on the spot.

Is it a bad idea to alternate playing electric and acoustic guitars early in the learning process?
I'm a beginner, been playing for two months on an Epi LP Special II and now bought an acoustic for my parents home (I visit them quite often and don't want to lose practice while I'm there). I feel a bit retartet now playing with the acoustic as it a lot less "forgiving".
Also, is there something in particular that I'm better off focusing on while on the acoustic, given that my main instrument is still the electric?
>>61156806
If anything, it's better to play an acoustic if you're learning
as you said it's 'less forgiving', also you'll get stone hard fingertips. playing an elec will be like playing butter
>>61156826
This.
i consider buying pic related. i barely have money and this is the cheapest i can get in my country. thoughts?
i also never in my life played an instrument.
>>61157375
Yamaha makes some good instruments, It looks like a good bass to start.
>>61151526
This is the worst recording ever. What is that supposed to prove. It was noisy as fuck, the frequency range was bad and I still heard a significant difference. The better wood is up to taste, but there is a difference in sound and feel.
Go in any guitar shop and try an Es335 and a Les Paul. If they're from the same year they should have identical specs. And I can hear a difference
>about to pull the trigger on a Vox AC30C2

I tried these elixers too
I think they're meme strings
They don't seem as bright as the GHS boomers I've been using for years and years
the tension feels a lot less too which I don't like. they feel super slick (i guess from the coating) and I don't like that either.
>>61158631
Of course they aren't as bright. Elixirs are famous for that. The reason people use them is for their longevity, or if they have a nickel allergy.

Are there any nonshit guitar tuner apps for Android?
>>61158631
Maybe I was just really unlucky, but a long time ago my Elixer low e string would break at the bridge frequently enough that I stopped buying them, whereas my Ernie Ball strings held up just fine.

Learn to recognize intervals and the sound of the various major family, minor family, dominant family, etc chords.
http://www.musictheory.net/exercises/ear-interval
I think it would be hard to figure out the exact key a song is in without an instrument handy. It would pretty much require perfect pitch. But you could probably figure out how to listen and transcribe a tune using relative pitch.
Drill your intervals.
http://www.musictheory.net/exercises/ear-interval
>>61159105
Is that a portable heater?
>>61159117
Also sing scales, arpeggios, and any melody when you practice them to try to internalize the sound.
>>61159132
That's what I thought when I saw it at the store.
But it's the best sounding practice amp I've heard and I've been through about 7 at this point. Not loud enough for live play though unfortunately. Perfect for studio.
>>61158728
record the jammening or rapening
>>61149865
I've been playing for ~3 years and I dont know where every note is on the fret board in every position. Just manage to find one of each so you can jam in the right key and fuckin wing it to the max
>>61159174
Sounds cool. I'm gonna check them out. I practice through a Boss js10. It doesn't sound that great but I like the jamming abilities on it. What others have you been through?
>>61159344
Fender Mustang II, III, Blues Jr, Blues Deluxe
Orange Microcrush, Crush, and Orange TT15C + Tiny Terror
Line 6 Spider IV
out of all those, the TT15C + Tiny Terror is the best for playing with a band, but it's also the second most expensive after the blues Deluxe
also making friends with everyone at your local music store pays off greatly. they will usually let you swap out anything you're not 100% satisfied with

>>61159299
Damn. The Fibenare Erotic has nothing on this guitar re: raw sexual energy.
>>61159299
Eh. I've been playing 16 years and I still don't know every note in every position. I never drilled myself hard enough on it. But I've learned quite a few more than I used to with a little practice lately.
>>61159105
I have a THR5, made a few shitty things in cubebase but I'd rather not post my soundcloud stuff here, it was never meant to be heard by strangers.
>>61159502
I want waifu on my guitar so then i can marry it :^)
>>61159525
Yeah its pretty much the same here, can play all the open chords with a few minors / major 7ths etc etc and know where a few root notes are in one or two scale shapes.
It sounds awful to say but I mostly just widdle away trying new shapes to see what happens.
>>61158597
It's a "Revelation", saw it while searching 12 strings on ebay. At only £215 I'm almost tempted but a whammy bar on a 12 string at that price sounds like a terrible idea.
The part on my guitar that you put the cable into has come loose so you can't put the cable in when the cover is off. Should I just leave the cover off, or is it easily fixable?
>>61160310
*when the cover is on
I'm playing it now and it's fine with the cover off, but I don't want to break the thing, if it's possible to.
>>61160379
>>61160310
post pics if possible, fella, normally the output jack isnt made of super strong metal so if its bent out fo shape (and thats all) should be easy enough to fix
>>61160403
I fixed it. The thin thing that looks like pic related that goes over the cover and stop the jack from moving somehow got under the cover and made it loose.
>>61160758
That used to happen on my Epi LP special constantly. No matter how much I tightened it it'd end up coming loose again
What do you think about Jackson Mark Morton Dominion?
>>61160837
Could just put some glue on the inside of the nut, nothing super strong, just some weak pva that will tighten it up a little. You still have the guitar or has it moved on, anon?
>>61160758
Good to hear that its fixed (if only for now) anon

Nice guitars senpai.
>>61160984
In the end I opened it up and pushed the jack a 1/4" out of the body and then tightened it up.
I gave it to my little cousin a few months ago
Don't know if I want to buy a 2016 SG, a warmoth custom or embrace my weebdom and get a Nip MG69 before Fender US make them cease production.

Is there a way to split my signal into two so that I can hear myself out with earphones while still running sound out my amp? I play fine with my tiny practice amp w/ headphones, but my the sound's just too "big" for my ears in a live setting I guess, and it all sounds like noise to me whereI can't tell where I begin and my bandmates end.
>>61162089
first thing: you should let your fingers rest. they will never heal correctly if you dont give them time
second thing: this is a serious question and im not trying to meme on you or anything but honestly, are you autistic?
>>61162089
You should get in the habit of unplugging your instrument in case you ever encounter active electronics.
>>61162050
on the tele? i love both pickups
the bridge is crispy and crunchy as hell, amazing on a cranked tube amp. clean is that trebly twang that you mentioned which i love.
and the neck pickup is so full and gorgeous, with surprising clarity.
can get many beautiful sounds with it, both pickups have their place. i am of the opinion that every guitar player needs to have a tele, because there are so many sounds you just can't get with another guitar.
>>61161382
yeah, i'm pretty pleased with my guitar collection. just feels like something is missing. i fingerpick a ton, so i feel like i need a nylon string classical or something. but most feel so cheap idk
i need a better amp as well, and there are some essential pedals i haven't got around to looking at yet.
might take a pic of my collection in a minute
>>61162206
Alright I might take a day off and just play my Stratocaster then.
I've never been medically diagnosed, no. In my life experience, everyone's a little autistic to a point. Sure, I might be a little bit more than others, but I'm still not sure why you'd ask.
Any suggestions for what to add to my pedalboard next?
Ay folks
Which one and why?
The Orange is $50 more expensive.
I'm just looking for a cheap but quality amp head that can run a small cab just big enough to keep up with an un-mic'd drummer but with great tone.
Also, playing an HSS strat
>>61162093
if you have the money, go for it but the THR10 is more than powerful enough for your home studio
>>61162397
My bad
what would /gg/ recomend for a 30-50 watt tube head that I could find used for under/around 400$?
Pic related, I know about the transformer issues (otherwise this would be my choice)

cant speak for the legacy but the terror can keep up with a drummer overdriven, you could get a crunch tone if you got a relatively tame drummer but you'll never get a loud enough clean tone.

>>61162440
I do. The Kindred are a big influence on me, so I use it for riffs and such.
>>61162397
neither of those are going to do that. you need at least 15 tube watts and that's if your drummer doesn't play like a monkey. if you have a loud drummer you're going to need around 30 tube watts
>>61162447
>>61162485
that's not a tiny terror. it's a micro 20w tube/ss hybrid. it's not loud enough to play over a drummer.
