what the fuck is wrong with that tree trunk
So, I'm working on my anti-folk demo
https://clyp.it/lepikvw3
Should I work on cutting out the hiss? or keep it as part of the memesthetic?
Reposting, because this brand doesn't get the attention it deserves.
Flaxwood has a few new models:
http://www.flaxwood.com/models/
>>64140547
It's a 10 strings, with 5 added strings. It's an extended frankenstrat.
There's also two or three strings that don't touch the fretboard.
A0, the note you get if you drop a BEADG 5 string bass to AEADG, is the lowest note on a piano, so basically that means a few of these strings are really useless.
tl;dr : garbage

it's good
just stop calling it anti-folk you fucking faggot
>>64140727
i knew that feel when i was in highschool. sadly i haven't found a girl who made me feel that way since then. i hope it's just that i haven't met the right one, and not that my brain changed or something and i can't feel that way again

>>64140705
Three guitars and a bass there. I like having an acoustic, a strat and an LP, you can get a wide range of tones with those three.
Do whatever floats your boat man.
>>64140611
Sounds like Gymnopedies no. 1

I restrung my Taylor the other day for the first time. None of my bridge pins have turned into projectiles yet and it holds tune pretty well but goddamn that's a shit job. Couldn't get the fuckers to lock.
>>64140759
>just stop calling it anti-folk you fucking faggot
there is literally nothing wrong with anti-folk as a label
>>64140882
well, shit, can't say I saw that coming, time to kill myself
>>64140917
Yeah I restrung mine the other week and had no idea what I was doing either, shit seemingly works though.
>>64140970
fucking this.
It does sound a lot better now since I was still using the strings it came with 3 months ago. Those elixir's are supposed to be rust resistant but they were all corroded after a month and a half. Granted, I probably do practice more than most.
>>64140625
>those inlays
nah
I like the ones without the stupid big inlays though
>>64140762
I thought that too, until I met this new girl.
I hope you can find someone, anon.
>>64141026
Same, I wore through the coating on a few places after about 2 months.
Not a big deal though, still feels and sounds okay
>>64141059
There's actually much more to guitars than just inlays...
>>64141176
Of course, but they bother me too much to want to own one of them.
i'm probably bullshitting i have a prs for fucks sake
>>64141176
Y'know, I've gotten to the point that how a guitar looks is probably half of the value for me. Once you learn some repair skills your perspective really changes. All I really want now is something that looks cool with a hard neck. The rest I'll just change as necessary.
>>64141230
Still, you should try one, if you can. I'm fairly sure that you will stop caring about the appearance then. They feel and sound amazing.
>>64140947
I wouldn't worry about the similarities to Gymnopedies
what are some fun classical songs to learn on guitar?
I'd prefer something recognizable so I can play faster
What are some famous songs with a lot of bass?
I only know noisy shit and post-punk shit.

>>64141305
Eh, I don't really see your point. Sure, you can take a Harley Benton and change all the parts, dress and file the frets, etc. but I doubt it will feel or sound as good as some other guitar that was built better from the start. I built a Tele with my father and while it doesn't look anything special, it feels better than just about any Fender I've come across, it has more sustain than an average Les Paul and it's the loudest solid body I've heard.
>>64141482
Well there's talk of Gymnopedies no.1 itt, that's pretty easy. Bourrée in E minor also is recognizable and not so hard

>>64141571
Well, I think when you get past the stigma a lot of cheap guitars are comfy. Where the contours are, the shape of the neck, and so on aren't really matters of expense so much as whatever the manufacturer chose. What's comfortable is just a matter of preference.
>>64141657
I've been playing for 10 years and I will never attempt to shred because I will always think of it as cringey
but that's just me
>>64140679
Cool man. Is that a POD X3? I sort of miss mine. Might just be nostalgia though.
>>64141829
That's a fair point. I still think you should try a Flaxwood, if you happen to come across one. At least they are comfortable, if nothing else.
>>64141910
but they look goofy
but yeah, that small body is appealing from an ergonomics standpoint. Should be very well balanced. I've always thought the extra chunk of wood behind the tailpiece on most electric guitars was kind of funny. Just to make it look more like an acoustic they make it that much heavier.
>>64141830
Been playing for 15 years and same here.
>>64142099
You'll get used to the looks. They are really light (but not neck-heavy), because they are hollow and the small body doesn't interfere with your right arm, like it sometimes does with a Les Paul. The Hybrids are a bit heavier. But the shape and feel of the neck and the sound are the main selling points for an average guitarist. Some might also appreciate the fact that they aren't affected by changes in humidity.

Why do you want to shred. Do your playing style require it? If not don't bother.
Shredding is pretty much going to die soon. Nobody bothers playing at 1000 BPM and sweep picking every single damn phrase. Even the kids nowadays, Nick Johnston, CHON, Polyphia, they don't do all the crazy chops that your past heroes used to do.
>>64140636

Anything by maiden, rush, or primus
>>64142277
Well, I'm a bit of a punk rocker so these are pretty far out for me, even in flat colors. Anyways, what are the necks made of? It just says flaxwood. All it says on the website is a bunch of bullshit.
>Flaxwood is an innovative new tone material that is created by breaking the grain structure of natural wood and injection-molding it into shape together with an acoustically sensitive binding agent.
They make it sound like they liquefied a fucking tree. The rest of the F.A.Q just goes on about what a great tone the shit has. What is it?
>>64140820

>>64143500
what is that photo lmao
>>64142741
It's a hohner.
>>64143347
Got it off of ebay years ago. It's a really nice git, as I'm sure you know. Love the neck pickup.
>>64143165
it's just fibre reinforced plastic. Essentially the same thing as fibreglass.
>>64143165
>>64143500
Originally they experimented with flax composites and the name stuck. In reality the material is called Kareline and it's made by Plasthill. And basically it is liquefied wood. It's spruce pulp or cellulose in polypropene matrix.
>>64143663
Hey, at least I'm not a Mormon or Jehova's Witness. Just excited about guitars.
Do mustangs have increased hum when out of phase?
>>64143815
why would they ever use wood pulp instead of something sturdy jeeeze I think I'll go with carbon fibre over these.
Anyone have any experience with a boner?
>>64143983
They're supposedly very nice basses. They don't have the graphite reinforced necks of the newer models though.
Ugly as sin too.

you played fast good job
>>64144070
i haven't watched it yet but i can tell you're doing great. YOU are great! keep up the good work
>>64143740
ah cool, yeah the pickups on those are great. Super clean sounding, that was my go-to guitar for those 80s King Crimson type of tones.
>>64140488
How would you even hold down that lowest string?
>>64144183
>>64144222
sounded good enough for me
>>64143873
no, the hum is about the same when you're not using phase-in
Imma ask a wiring question
>Guitar body with 3 pickups
>HSH
>Usual 5 way blade system
Is there anyway i could wire in a button or a switch so that all 3 pickups are on at once?
>>64144070
You're just weaseling your leads in as a short fill in the one spot and walking with your chords. Your friend will learn nothing and will never surpass the master.
Otherwise sounds pret gud.
>>64145657
that's fair enough. it was only meant to be a demonstration for someone that's just starting to improvise, not as though this was an artful execution of the principle :^)
thanks tho

>>64145437

If you just dump them all out in parallel, it's a no brainer.
>>64143813
Not exactly. Fiberglass is made up of long fibers instead of short (to put it bluntly), so fiberglass products aren't injection molded. Also, it's not as eco-friendly as FRC.
>>64143921
Sturdiness isn't a real material property and there are many types of carbon fiber composites. While carbon fiber composites can have impressive mechanical properties, they also have disadvantages. They have a large carbon footprint, they can't be injection molded, their properties are hard to tune (Kareline can be tuned acoustically, although it hasn't been done yet in the guitars), they are usually over 50% heavier, they are much more expensive... It would be very difficult to make a similar guitar out of carbon fiber, because they could only use lamination.
>>64140762
>haven't found a girl who made me feel that way since then
I know that feel man.
Today I'm sad. Was going to blogpost but actually writing it made me feel a tiny bit better so I won't.
Gear bump.
>>64140488
Are neck and bridge PUs really different? I have a fretless Squier affinity jazz bass and I only use the bridge PU on that, and I have a Yamaha PJ bass with a really shitty single coil PU. I want to swap the neck single coil from my Squier to the bridge on the Yamaha, is that a stupid idea?
>>64146536
dumb color effect
gay doctor
>>64146598
What a great comment.
>>64145952
Injection molding has the advantage of making production cheaper... But these are expensive. Also frankly I don't give a shit about how much wood goes into a guitar. Flaxwood say themselves that their necks are no sturdier or weaker than a wooden neck. Carbon fiber necks are way sturdier. And yeah, sturdiness isn't a specific property, but rather it means less susceptible to breakage. As far as stiffness goes, however, there's no way there are stiffer than a carbon fibre neck.
Also, "tuning" a neck? First of all, we're talking about electric guitars here, with electric guitar strings. They sound like shit acoustically. Second, nobody anywhere has ever tried to tune a neck... Hugely futile. If they were making acoustic guitars I'd be interested in the tonal properties. I have a injection molded ukulele and it sounds great, mostly since it doesn't need bracing.
Stop replying to the flaxwood guitars sales rep.
Their guitars are hideous.

I have a MIM Fender Strat, and I was thinking about getting another guitar--one with a different sound and feel.
What's the difference between using a dual coil setting on a Strat and a humbucker on a Les Paul? I'm looking at mid-range options, so I was thinking of an Epiphone LP or an Ibanez (I'd like 24 frets) with humbuckers but without a tremolo arm.
>>64146634
only the best for the sears catalog of music generals
>>64136997
How's the build quality on that thing? Kind of worried about that because of the cheap price.
Aight /mu/tants, I'm trying to get into bass and need to pick an instrument. I just sold a Gibson SG bass that I tried learning on; it felt right to me in the store while I was trying it out, but the more I practiced with it the more I the short-scale neck dip was starting to bug me. So sooner or later I'm going to pick up a Jazz Bass, but they Aerodyne model just caught my eye. Does anyone have experience with it? It's not just that it looks slick; the Jazz Bass and P-Bass pickups would give me extra tone flexibility, supposedly.
>>64146536
>>64146536
Makes me nostalgic for my first guitar (Ibanez RG2EX1) ;_;
what does the mini-switch on the Ibanez guitar do?
I went full Gilmour with mine. I apologize.
I would buy this right now if it didn't require two different sets of batteries with a 4 hour battery life.
http://www.guitarcenter.com/Ibanez/RGKP6-with-Korg-Mini-Kaoss-Pad-2-Electric-Guitar.gc
>>64140488
aren't chapman sticks suppose to have the low strings in the middle? makes more sense that way to me not that I've ever played one anyhoo
>>64146846
the two pickup setting on a strat are parallel rather than series, and do not utilize a bar magnet. These things result in a clearer tone. The pickups are farther apart, which results in a muddier tone. The pickups are farther apart, resulting in hypothetically a wider frequency response or two distinct peak frequencies. In general, a strat wired in series is slightpy muddier than a humbucker with the same total outpit and magnet type. However this is also effected my things such as pole piece size and shielding.
>>64146874
the neck dive wasn't a result of it being short scale, in fact the neck length has the opposite relationship of what you imagine. The neck dive on an EB is caused by the strap button position.
Also, consider going the fixer-upper route. You could get a cheap bass and fix it up. It might be worth it to you if you want noiseless pickups, I'm not a fan of the fender ones.
What are your opinions on Marshall pedals?
Thinking of picking this up along with the Compressor one to complete my first kinda budget pedal board.
It would be like:
Mesa/Boogie Throttle Box
Marshall Compressor
Marshall Echohead
EHX Silencer
Going into the clean channel of my Hiwatt amp.
>>64147230
Thanks for the explanation. I'm going to try to find a good humbucker guitar to try.
How thin can a Les Paul-style headstock be without becoming too weak? Could it be reduced from 5/8" to 1/2"? How about 3/8"?
>>64146846
If the pickups on a strat were in series like a normal hb, the 2 and 4 settings would be significantly louder. There's some phase cancellation in there, probably because they're facing different points along the string and the wave hits one before the other.
>>64146728
Injection molding can make products cheaper, if they are mass produced. These aren't, because they aren't well known. For now, the advantage of injection molding is making the guitars consistent. The material is homogeneous, so every guitar is identical unlike guitar made out of wood. And yes, carbon fiber composites have higher flexural modulus and tensile strength but on the other hand, if normal wood is suitable for building guitars, so is wood fiber composite. Still, carbon fiber is much harder to work with.
And different materials dampen different frequencies, so it's possible to change those characteristics by changing the composition of the material. This effect is most noticeable in acoustic instruments, so at this point it is indeed mostly futile but it's a great option if they ever have enough money to expand their product range further. Do note though that the regular models have also a composite body, so it's not just the neck.
>>64146809
I don't even own one of them (although I will buy one as soon as I have extra money). My father has a Hybrid and I've played other models in store. Also, they are excellent, not hideous.
>>64147043
It's for piezo. Google RG1820X.
>>64147131
i had one briefly and i like it a lot but yeah, the battery life bit sucks hard, and on top of that it picked up a ton of radio interference in my apartment
>>64147472
Only thing you can really say about a brand of pedals in the reliability and somewhat the pricing. Otherwise it's gotta come down to the individual pedals. Not that I have any experience with that pedal.
>>64147659
try to at least listen to a covered one and an uncovered one. It'd also be good to listen to a rail or oversized pole piece one if you can find one. Honestly it's difficult to get your hands on this stuff, so if you can find demos online straight to interface you're better off. Listen to as many magnet types, windings, and configurations as you can.
>>64146562
I just did it, works fine. Part of the harsh sound from the bridge PU in the Yamaha is due to the fact that it is very close to the bridge, but swapping it for the Squier single coil did mellow it out to some degree.
Is there anyone that has a good link to guitar backing tracks? I don't want backing track versions of songs, which seems to be what i'm getting trying to google.
>>64151726
You must be searching wrong. Try googling 'A minor backing track' or any other key. you should find loads.

Guys, what is William's guitar used in video You Trip Me Up? I found some tips it can be Fender Coronado, but I don't think so, or one of EKO guitars, I didn't found anything similar nor from Vox. Can it be Guild or Kay or what?
>>64155432
Looks like a kay speed demon
>>64155472
Yes it does but probably with replaced neck.
>>64154935
Yeah, shorter whammy bar doesn't get that much in the way of the air vibrations, which actually make you hear if a song is recorded outside or inside. And also it'll make your bridge send it's vibrations only to the bridge pickup if you have it right above the pickup - this is only a very small difference that makes your playing with the lower strings sound a bit richer, but trust me - it's like an extra string above the regular strings. Would recommend to get the plastic tip off it and make it slimmer so it would vibrate more.
That's a tone tremolo bar.
>>64155506
Could also be one of these

Anyone of you tried selling yourself on fiverr, providing guitar tracks service? O have been thinking about doing that, but my current skills aren't supposingly professional standards. I can play your standard pop/rock electric guitar, maybe drop in a solo or two.

>>64156423
Shredding has generally gotten more melodic, people are actually putting thought into composing a solo rather than just blazing through it with messy notes. There's still the fast runs and stuff, but I feel they are mainly ornamental and isn't the core of the solo.

The way the two layer loops work is they commit half their memory to the loop you can undo, and half to the main loop. You don't need any more memory each time you write to the main loop because the new audio is added on top of the old, in the same memory. It's impossible to remove if it's stored in the same memory. So if you want to remove any layer, you need to have a ton of layers in the first place, which would take a ton of memory.
Well, memory is getting cheaper all the time.
>>64158254
Thanks dude.
Was hoping it'd exist so I could take the strain off my hands a little bit by playing less.
>>64158335
I'm sure there's a computer program that can do it. Anyways, there might be a pedal, just not one with an arbitrary depth. Y'know, no infinite memory.
>>64158385
Yeah, I'll have to mess with software. Might be too expensive or tedious to setup and play shows with though.
>>64158398
It's not like you could use it live anyway, removing lower level loops? Too slow to do live. Better to record some part of the song in question in advance or get another guitarist.

Maybe, I could see it working if you have two switches, with one selecting the loop to edit, and one to switch them on and off.
Might just get two loopers at this point and have one my wet one on my dry.
Only reason I'm so autistic about it is because I have hand issues, and can't make it through some of my songs, and I think looping some stuff might make it easier.

Something I improvised at 2AM but didn't want to forget so I cheaply recorded it.
>>64158516
Is that Joe Bonamassa? I saw a video of him playing a guitar and he was pretty boring.
>>64158571
>I have hand issues, and can't make it through some of my songs
take more exemple on Django Reinhardt
>>64158571
Two loopers is probably the way to go on this one.
I'm not 100% but I think Digitech make a product in the Jam Man line that's more than one looper in one unit. Might be worth googling.
>>64158573
Sounds mellow and beachy, I like it.
Reminds me of something I wrote in some places.

>tfw no high C for more chords
>>64158765
>no high C
Just go on the higher frets but stay on the E string, that way you can get wider chords without weird tunings or extra strings.

Lefty guitarist for 1 year here. I decided to start playing the bass, but finding a lefty for a good price is not easy. Considering I am not sure if am going to like it and I would keep playing my guitar lefty, which one makes more sense?
> Find a lefty bass, pay more, get used to it a play lefty forever.
> Play right. Currently does not sound that bad to me as my right hand is not used to large frets and my left hand to plucking.
> Buy a righty bass, flip it and play. If I find one without annoying knobs that could work out, as I won't be playing chords anyway.
> Buy a righty bass and make it a lefty.Apart from knobs still being in the and the awkward body shape this also seems doable.
Any advice/experience on that?
>>64158912
Save up and buy a lefty bass silly
>>64158821
I know my bass chords man.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1lwn9zhoyLV
I just want to play Thundercat-tier chords.
>>64158943
How much does guitar playing help when starting with the bass? (other than ear training, theory etc.) Buying a lefty unfortunately means getting used to it and having the same troubles every time I get a new one + not being able to play other peoples basses.
>>64155036
How do you play this?
>>64156172
>that 24 fret access
Why doesn't everyone do this?
>>64158974
God damn I'm dumb, I didn't realise you were talking about bass. Yeah the range on 4 strings is absolutely terrible, and the low B doesn't really give more options for chords. I really wonder how these EADGC 5 string Ibanez BTBs play.
>>64159066
I'm guessing it's more delicate to build
>>64159027
The most annoying thing about it is getting the fingering and muting technique up to speed and getting used to the wider frets + thicker strings. Once you get that down it's a matter of practicing that like you would guitar
Posted this before, gonna post it again.

A song written for electric guitar, I screwed up at the end, goddamit.
>>64158912
Look, I don't want to be that guy but as a lefty you should join the legions of lefties on talkbass that buy sx basses. Get one, upgrade whatever you're unsatisfied with, and it won't cost you any more than a right handed bass. Honestly, I'm right handed but if you upgrade an sx you'll find yourself holding your dream bass for, in my case, under $300. Yeah, I had my frets leveled and threw in some seymour duncans. Yes, I set it up. But I didn't need new tuners, a new bridge, or even new electronics. Next on my wish list is a cavity ground. But by all means I've already got a bass that sounds better than a fender to me.
As a lefty it's going to be way easier to get the bass you want through modding than praying somebody puts out the bass you want for a fair price. It might often cost more to buy a left handed bass, but it never costs more yo mod one.
>>64158516
He does kinda nice covers though.
>>64159066
>>64159078
It's neck-through which I believe is more complicated/expensive.
The aesthetics threw a lot of people off when revealed but apparently is one of the most ergonomic, easy to play guitars on the market.
>>64159078
>Yeah the range on 4 strings is absolutely terrible
It's a damn shame because it sounds so mellow and chill, or maybe I'm just biased.

That's enough bass chords for one thread now.
reminder clyp.it is faster and better sound quality than vocaroo
Made this Saturday. Don't think the bass really cuts through. It's 130 bpm so I found it difficult to strum to the pace using the strat! God damn tempo

When it comes down to it, are you a humbucker guy or a single coil guy?
>>64159801
I'd probably be ok with selling my single coil guitars
>>64159801
humbuckers desu
>>64159801
Humbuckers.
Some can sound good enough for anything.
I'm currently satisfied with my Illuminators a bit farther from the strings than usual.
>>64159801
P90s are perfect for me, but I'd rather have a single coil guitar and a humbucker guitar than a guitar with P90s.
>>64159801
In my experience it's a lot easier to get a thick tone out of single coils then a clear tone out of humbuckers. So probably single coils. I never liked humbuckers for rhythm.
>>64160117
But what about noise?
You have 3 minutes to write a verse of lyrics and post them here from the time you finish reading this post. I want to see what /gg/ can pull off.

>>64160219

>>64160176
Noiseless or air coils. You could call that cheating but pretty much every single coil guitar has one hum cancelling position besides Rickencucker.
>>64160219
*I want /gg/ to make music for me to steal
>>64159801
Humbuckers I guess

>tfw tube amp I've designed and built is working after preliminary testing yesterday
With the transformer I've got on it now, the power tubes see a load of 6.6k which is giving me a lower max power of ~25 W. Additonally it overdrives really easily at high volume and its sounds gnarly as fuck.
Going to see if I can get it a bit louder (goal of 50 W) and more linear by switching the speaker's location on the secondary taps

Humbuckers because fuck that hum. But HSH is the superior configuration and I'd probably be fine with HSS.

Absolutely. At first I even thought it might be an useful gimmick but they are very nice.
>>64160645
I wish more guitars did them though, same for onboard EQ like basses have.
>>64159801
Easily single coils.
The cleans are just so much nicer, it's difficult to like humbuckers.
Also that fucking twang on tele bridges is irresistible.

>can't play a riff because my guitar's neck hurts my wrist in that position
I can't wait until Trump nukes China and they stop making shitty guitars

>>64161271
He can't fix your shitty technique though.
>>64161271
What is the riff desu
>>64161271
If you can't play something because the neck hurts your wrist it's your technique that's shit, not your guitar
>>64161271
thats your fault faggot
>>64161314
>>64161318
>>64161366
>>64161369
Can't be my fault if it plays fine almost everywhere but here, repeating it four times won't make me change my mind.
>>64161335
It's not even something really complex, just a matter of speed.
>>64161430
>samefag boogey man
You're just stupid.
>>64161430
How the fuck could something as simple as that be hurting your wrist?
Either your strap length is fucked up or your technique is fucked up
>>64161430
kill yourself
Found a nice drum set on CL. I like how they put it next to their plane.
>>64161459
where did I speak about samefagging ? Are you a butthurt chinese master craftsman or something ?
>>64161462
Playing sitting down right now, can't be the strap's fault. The only way for it to play right is using three fingers, but for something that's played at 150bpm it makes the task a lot harder than what it should be.
And then again, if I play the same pattern higher or on other strings it's fine, I don't understand either why my wrist hurts when I play there.
>>64161483
sorry I disturbed the continuous flow of gearwanking, maybe next time I'll just post a guitar and have a sterile discussion on why sunburst is better than regular colors
>>64161583
Then it's your technique that's shit. I can't help you there, go and find out what makes it hurt and why.
>>64161583
Your technique is shit. Unless your guitar neck is some asymmetrical abomination how could it possibly be the guitar's fault?
>>64161610
>>64161650
Then why would that riff hurt my wrist but not pic related ? Why would it be fine almost everywhere but there ? I have no trouble playing the harmonisation right after that uses the same pattern on a different pitch, I'm all up against wankers that spend thousands on dumb excuses but garbage guitars are going to play like shit.
>>64161583
Does your neck bend at a 90 degree angle?
>>64161712
Because your fingering and wrist position is different.
>>64161712
Don't fucking ask me you retard. In the first place how can playing something like that hurt your wrist? Unless your guitar is really fucking weirdly shaped there should be no problem
>>64161750
Quality replies, as expected from a tripfag ! Don't partake in discussion if you're just going to be a massive twat
>>64161731
They're pretty similar, of course you can't get the exact same position when you're playing on the G string as opposed to the D string, but I don't get why it's bothering me so much. I've been messing around with different ways to hold the neck and I'm all out of ideas. And before you ask, yes, my thumb is on the back of the neck.
>>64161712
Dude, there's no thicker neck than a fender C shape, and people will pay $$$ for that. Your fucking neck does not cause wrist pain, your technique and fatigue does. Stop playing for today, and tomorrow do stretches before you start. Pull up your strap, keep your elbow tucked next to your body, and stop bitching.
>>64161712
Are you literally mentally retarded?
How the fuck is it the guitars fault that your wrist hurts when you play somewhere on the neck? You do realize guitar necks are straight, right?
Get good and stop being an annoying cunt
>>64161962
>You do realize guitar necks are straight, right?
Except maybe really high end guitars (I think the Shawn Lane Vigier's one of them), guitar necks are not straight, straight necks make fretjobs a lot more difficult.
>Get good
Because why am I practicing and asking advice right ? I should just fuck up my wrist, and then buy a Gibson and stare at it because I can't play anymore.
>>64161882
I'm not specially talking about thickness, but there's something that makes it uncomfortable and I don't understand what. Maybe I've played too much for today yeah.

Is here anyone that has experience from music academy auditions?
I play the electric bass and I have an audition for a music academy next month. I've been thinking about playing Blue Monk. What things should I consider before the audition? I'm pretty fucking nervous.
What dirt pedals are not shit and actually worthy of complementing a tube amp?
>>64162284
True this.
I like his stuff and have ripped several licks from his covers.
I also bought some packs from JamTrack Central that seemed interesting (mainly Guthrie and Sam Coulson's Modern Rock Soloing
>>64163233
they let everyone in, they just want yo gauge your skill. If you bomb it it doesn't really matter, it's not gonna trap you in one lesson plan. music academy is gay btw.
>>64163233
I'm studying classical guitar at a conservatory
and while introduction tests are never fun on the applicant's the professors do this every semester and they know exactly what you're going through.
prepare yourself as good as you can, be sure to meet the official requirements (length of performance, different styles, and so on) exactly and then then just go in there and do your thing
>>64163233
Think about your fingering and practise a lot.
>>64163639
>they let everyone
Nah man. The academy I auditioned for accepts five guitarists and even after the music theory tests there were more than 20 left.
What amp do you think sounds better with this guitar?
I want something that's not too expensive

Sorry to say but nothing will sound really good with a Gio my man, better save up for better stuff.

What's your budget and location?
Are you willing to go second hand or only brand new?
Do you guys put stickers and shit on your guitars? I have a TPTB sticker and I don't know where to put it.

Used Ibanez RG550 or even a RG350
>>64164238
of course not
>>64164238
No, I did put isolating tape to make dank stripes in my old guitar (MiM Fender Satin Strat) but that was when I was a teenager.

Should've gone with Epiphone.
>>64164238
Don't even think about it.
is improvisation a confidence thing?
