I've played one before but I wasn't a huge fan. I like the design and everything but something didn't feel right. Dude probably didn't set it up right

Around £300 or so. Have a cheap guitar amp and some picks and shit.
What's a good way to learn some chord progressions? Some book suggestions? Or courses? Youtubers?
>>63614052
i dont own one but squier neck are pretty good, especially the cv and vm ones
the only thing id change is the bridge and maybe the pups
>>63614273
any recommendations?
>>63614301
go for a Fender Mustang bridge but pickups are honestly your preference
>>63614226
I never listened to him in detail but he's pretty good.
Extreme ERG/B are really cool for solo stuff, definitely impressive.
>>63614165
>>63614165
no worries senpai, dont listen to people when they squier are shit, vm and cb series are god tier cheap instruments
and this is coming from someone who owns 4 gibsons
what's the difference between Jaguar and Jazzmaster? Which is better?
>>63614373
scale length, controls, pickups basically
>>63614124
>Rob Chapman has probably blown his nose inside it
He does that to every guitar they sell. And he stuffs a handful of his matted greasy pubic hair in the control cavity and rubs his armpits on the control knobs
>>63614373
basically the jaguars have the short scale and the different controls
>>63614455
I heard he runs the necks throuugh his ass crack then buffs the fretboards with his earwax
>>63614231
squier, dont use a guitar amp, a bass will kill it,
get a squier classic vibe jazz bass, for the sheer reliability
>>63614373
>Which is better?
The one you think is better
>>63614124
>>63614455
>>63614558
well he gotta use organic finishes on those tonewoods.
Don't use Dunlop's Lemon oil to clean your fretboard. Do like Rob, cum on the fretboard then rub it with your cheek.

id just like to give a big shout out to all my fans for making this happen! thanks guys i couldnt have asked for anything more!
>>63615240
get a tube screamer or something to go with it to tighten it up
billy corgan from the pumpkins as said in many interviews how they had to use other pedals live because the pi was just too weak for some shit

The main difference is the scale length. Jaguars have a much shorter scale than Jazzmasters so the strings are under less tension. Some people like this, others complain that the slacker strings won't be as responsive to picking dynamics. The usual fix is to move to heavier strings on a Jaguar but when you get into very thiick unvound G strings they can start to sound "dumpy" and lifeless and no one wants to use a wound G on an electric as those things do NOT bend.
For my money, I'd get the Jazzmaster every time. Full scale length wins for me.
Whichever you choose, remember to order a replacement for the crappy bridge. Trust me on this. You're gonna need it.
>>63615444
>no one wants to use a wound G on an electric as those things do NOT bend.
They're perfect for dropped tunings, like B standard on a 6 strings,
And they do bend, every string does, I'm not a guitar genie but if you can't bend any kind of guitar string, you need to practice more.
>>63615640
Should have said a wound G won't bend in the same way as an unwound one. And I never use dropped tunings now so I bow to your greater knowledge in this matter.
But for the average Joe using EADGBE I think a wound G in standard tuning is a bad idea.
I hate chapman
>>63615746
Hey, at least he's not Tony McKenzie.
>>63613088
Why though? Just to be a living breathing meme?
>>63614226
I only listened to a few of his songs but he seems very talented as a composer and musician
>>63615725
I've never found any kind of difference between a wound and an unwound string of the same gauge.
However they do sound and feel different, so it might be a bad idea for shorter scales.
As for using them with lower tuning, it's just that it reminds me of 7 strings, on which you end up with 4 wounds and 3 unwounds
>>63615897
>I've never found any kind of difference
>However they do sound and feel different
>>63615897
>I've never found any kind of difference between a wound and an unwound string of the same gauge.
>However they do sound and feel different
Sometimes I get the impression that people here don't know what they're talking about.
>>63616027
>Sometimes
>>63616027
It's fairly simple, he says they do sound and feel very different but he's never found that difference. Reading comprehension innit m8.
So, lets settle this. Does /gg/ like Rob Chapman? What do they think of his guitars? Is there anyone more annoying than The Captain?
Discuss
>>63616177
their whole show makes me cringe but I like to listen just to hear what the guitars sound like. Rob is a competent player but shit he's annoying

>>63616233
Expensive option is the Mastery bridge, a Staytrem or just a Fender Mustang bridge would be plenty good enough.
You may not even need a new bridge, some new Jazzmaster models have a bridge similar to a Gibson Tunomatic. Those don't need replacing, the old Fender types do as the strings pop out of the saddles all the time.
>>63616345
nah
>>63616354
how about the VM bridges
>>63616354
If it looks like this then junk it and get a Mastery or Staytrem. The threaded screws don't hold the strings in placewhen you pick.
>>63616333
Spare yourself the pain, anger and humiliation later on and just trash it now
>>63616177
I don't even know how this guy gets brought up all the time. These guys are like if social media was a guitar company. Frankly the only reason I even know about them is from /gg/ and the tonewood debacle. I'm not at all interested in watching their videos, so it would be pretty unfair for me to pass judgement on. I usually ignore the posts about chapman, but I gotta admit, I've begun to get a bit annoyed about it. I know /mu/ is a board for normies, but chapman goes far beyond that.
>>63616414
This version is a lot more stable and doesn't need replacing.
>>63616354
that's just the j mascis one
>>63616453
it's not floating, how am I supposed to get smooth vibrato? Also, that shit will break strings a lot faster.
>>63616416
>>63616345
>>63616324
>>63616306
and still no one can offer any reason to hate Dean
>inb4 "the headstock"
>>63616500
well maybe you should order a Custom Shop and get the entire guitar redesigned to suit you
>>63616428
He's just some guy that used to make videos of reviews and lessons and stuff on youtube and just got big. He got followers and became well known. He's in a shitty djent band and he started his own company of meme guitars and that's that.
He's a perfect example of how a nobody can become famous through nothing but social media.
>>63616548
the headstock is reason enough
>>63616548
They look like shit, sound like shit, play like shit and are known more for the meme guitarists who play them than for the actual instruments themselves
>>63616612
hating things for being memes is a meme
>>63616612
>what is a Fender Jaguar
>>63614264
Just google chords for songs you like. If there's a chord you don't know, google it. Google.
>>63616574
the stock bridge is floating dumbass
>>63616177
He plays the same distorted blues licks on every guitar demo. The dude has no business demoing guitars. That shrew-looking guy is okay, though
>everybody on the Internet recommends getting staytrem for JMs/Jags
>not even 5000 people have ordered it
Sheds some light on how big the offset community is, huh?
>>63616764
>Chapman plays the same blues licks every time
>Captain plays the same blues licks every time
Pick both
>>63616870
Rob is a better player than Captain by a huge margin
>>63616870
That 2nd guy doesn't pretend he knows how to play though.
>>63616548
I have one. It's utterly unplayable. The frets are way too high so if you press down on the strings a little too hard you playing half a note too high. Also:
>utterly untuneable
>sounds like shit
>looks like shit
>plastic smell that makes you sick if you play more than 10 minutes at a time

>>63616177
The captain is fun and genuinely wants to make informative videos.
Chapman is cringey and ugly but is also knowledgeable and a good player although I hate the music he plays and wish captain did all the demoing.
>>63615960
>>63616027
Turns out I'm retarded and forgot a word, they don't feel any different FOR BENDS. However they're different to the touch and they sound different, that's why I use them for B standard, that way you are closer to what a G string, which now is a D string, sounds like.
>>63616870
Captain doesn't have a band and doesn't have his name on any guitar of a specific brand, If you're going to do that, do it the way Les Paul did and make yourself worthy of that.
>>63616799
Maybe that's just for this year ?
>>63616948
Cadillacs and Razorbacks don't seem to have those problems
>>63617249
Captain has his own signature model through Chapman Guitars :^)
>>63617323
A signature is different though, it just shows the support a brand gives to a particular artist.
I mean look at the Ibanez RG, apparently the shape was majorly influenced by Steve Vai's green charvel yet you don't see his name on every RG.
>>63617439
sig guitars aren't about supporting artists, they're about guitar companies shifting boxes to wannabe idiots
>>63617323
And it's somehow the best looking Chapman guitar
>>63617323
is it called Rob Chapman's Rob Chapman model Rob Chapman guitar by Rob Chapman at Rob Chapman Guitars?
>>63616177
I really dislike him and close the video immediately if I ever accidentally load one.
Brett Kingman is the superior English guitar review guy. (I'm assuming he's English because I'm shit at accents).

Signature guitars are literally about leeching money off of autists who will buy anything that has their favorite guitarist's name on it.
The overwhelming majority of signature guitars regardless of company are fucking hideous, in terrible paint jobs and are just plain silly.

Dude, that's any guitar with big frets. You're supposed to not press too hard. That's the basics of playing electric guitar. Even if you have tiny frets you shouldn't press to hard. But tiny frets suck because they only last a few years of daily play.

>>63618633

Its not the greatest 8x10 in the world (would much rather have an Ampeg or a Markbass (much lighter)), but it serves its purpose and sounds pretty good.

http://vocaroo.com/i/s1wLG7e5Vy5T
>>63618709
I'll put a bird on the bigsby
>>63618694
I just need a tailpiece with a whammy bar and the ricky vibratos cost way more than a bigsby
Something like this
Plus I'm a britpleb so it's much harder to get rick parts
>>63618856
You'll have to drill holes and run the possibility of having to make further and more drastic, permanent adaptations.
The thought of doing that on a Rick makes me cringe.
>>63618856
what's your specific objection to a Floyd Rose?
>>63618670
thanks
y-you too
>>63618881
Yeah that's what I'm worrying about
And the thing is, apparently the R tailpiece is known to break. What the fuck do I do if that happens?
I guess i could just take it to a shop to get someone to fit it 'professionally'
>>63618894
Fuck I forgot about those
>>63618633
>not looking at your picture before you post it to make sure your fucking toes aren't in the frame
Don't let it happen again
>>63618939
>What the fuck do I do if that happens?
You buy a new one. Worry about your tailpiece breaking when and if it breaks, not now...
>I guess i could just take it to a shop to get someone to fit it 'professionally'
Then you'll pay for the Bigsby, pay for the installation and permanent modifications just to make sure that your guitar is now worth less than before?
The money you'll lose in the Bigsby + installation + devaluation is probably enough to buy a new cheaper guitar with a Bigsby already in it.
>>63618894
Wait I doubt they would fit on a ric though
>>63618995
He's fucking with you. If you don't see why suggesting a Floyd Rose for a Rickenbacker is a joke in itself please stop right now any consideration you're having about permanently fucking up your expensive guitar. You clearly don't know any better.
>>63618986

>>63619066
Are you new here? Have you only playing guitar for a year? Do your parents buy all your gear for you so it means nothing to you? What's your story?
My best guitar cost 1000USD, and it's my baby. No fucking way am I drilling holes and doing shit to it.
And years from now, when I've still got it like that, it's going to be worth decent money if I ever decide to sell it.

Also if you don't build your own guitar like a real man you can go fuck yourself.
I build my own guitars because im a real man and not some kind of bitch that needs 7ender to sponsor my endeavours

I know this is bait but it's a nice excuse to talk about myself.
I was "naturally talented" (I guess, that's what people said) when I started playing and I kept saying I'm not good enough, but then people kept saying "no you're good" and the result was that I got lazy early on and my technique ended up horrible and my playing was really sloppy so I've been spending months and months basically rebuilding my style of play from the ground up to actually git gud. It's been fun and I feel the same way I did when I was a kid spending hours in my room playing nonstop until my fingers bled. I don't really have a point here, but I guess it would be this: I fucking love playing guitar.

Never listen to people praising you, having bad self esteem will make you always push yourself and get better as long as you're motivated.

reddit - "nice setup dude. you got to start somewhere. good job. if you need help learning to setup properly pm me anytime"
4chin - "nice crate faggot"
and you wonder why nobody likes you and why girls won't talk to you
great baits tonight boys
>>63619706
so reddit lie to you and tell you you're great when really you're shit and that's a good thing?

Ah, it must be nice to be a NEET and have all this time in your hands.
Wasn't 4chan supposed to be 18+? Or are you just a failed grown up?

>>63619775
Twist until it creaks then twist once more for luck.
>>63619663
That, I suppose, would be the actual point of my post. Thanks. I'd word it differently than you did though, because saying "bad self-esteem helps" isn't exactly right. Never believe that you're good enough that you don't need to improve or that you can get lazy with practice because there is always something about your playing that you can do better. But always believe that you can actually get better. One of my friends constantly says that he's horrible, and no matter how much I say he's fine (he's serviceable, needs practice but can play songs) he refuses to believe he's any good and doesn't think he can do the things I can do.
>>63619775
you need to tighten it hard enough to the string tension wont pull back against it.
>>63619785
I want to rub my genitals all over that guitar
after removing the bridge cover, obviously
>>63619825
That cover very practical actually, I rest my palm there.
>>63619775
Twist it until the neck is at a 90° angle
Then out a spoon in a microwave and use that hit spoon to soften up the side of the neck where it meets the body
Now you have room to hand adjust the neck
Do so until it's just right and then store the guitar in a fridge or a freezer to set and harden the neck.
You're welcome senpai
>>63619850
meh, I always palm mute right at the bridge saddles, I can't play guitars with bridge covers
apart from that, really nice Jazzmaster there, what model is it exactly?
>>63618604

Is that an AVRI? Consider me officially jealous. Probably the best looking guitar on /gg/ currently.

I'm 22, it's my last semester of college and I'm confident enough in my academic life that I have been able to spend at least 2 hours every day playing guitar for several months with no problem.

60's Lacquer with shielding, also pickguard and some hardware changed. It's got AVRI pickups though.

This annoys me. I've fucking thrashed my hands when I was learning and since, never did I feel there was any chance they'd bleed. The whole thing is just over-romanticizing playing guitar. I get the desire to romanticize things but holy crap is it annoying.

But nice try, thanks for playing
>>63620066
It mentally triggers that summer of 69 song for me
I played bass for a band back in highschool and they played that song
>>63619291
You grow out of treating guitars like babies pretty quickly when you realise there's something you need the instrument to do that it can't, so you can either mod it, or stick with an expensive piece of wood that won't do what you want, I couldn't play the music I make if I hadn't given my jazz bass an active EQ, I wouldn't be able to make the sounds necessary for looping, If I hadn't modded the bass I spent nearly a year saving for in a shit job I'd be fucked. No point having a nice guitar that you can't play.
>>63620047
How about you stop

When you're 13 years old and you've got no friends and nothing but time on your hands you'll find a way to be dumb enough. I said my picking technique was bad, right? The fingers on my picking hand used to hit the strings a lot so after a few hours they'd start bleeding. I figured it was normal at the time.

nice playing
and especially nice bald head
still, there are way better guitars for jazz
dunno why fender stuck with the jazzmaster name, especially considering it was surf players who originally adapted to them
>>63620261
I don't know why they stuck with the Jaguar name, I've never seen a jaguar play one
