Old thread >>65476263

Uh... what are you waiting for anon? Just play us something already.
fuck gear circlejerking
>>65487291
>>65487370
>>65487399
is this a cringe thread?
Friendly reminder: the kiddies who post in /gg/ threads have nearly ***zero*** experience concerning guitar. Playing, repair, new player recommendations, etc. The average age in these threads is around early 20s: green as shit grass.
If you have an actual question this is probably one of the most uninformed & least knowledgeable places you could ever expect a proper answer to come from.
Be weary of any advice given here as it's amateur & perfunctory at best.
Have a nice day.
Also, friendly side note:
Anyone posting their gear here has made a decision (either consciously or unconsciously) that playing guitar is nothing more than a meaningless hobby, something along the lines of stamp or coin collecting. Their uninformed opinions and amateur advice are firmly rooted in this unserious mindset, music being secondary to the compulsion to accumulate and publicly display their "enviable" possessions.
4chan is considered poison by most mature adults and is rightly shunned publicly for its immature, juvenile, and sometimes vile content. Lorde and the bassist from DIIV immediately spring to mind, both being heavily criticized for posting on 4chan and for their seeming willingness to be connected publicly to /mu/. No one with any real goals or aspirations would risk being contaminated with an association to this website, thus no serious musician would chance being recognized by posting their gear here. The only people who would be willing to subject themselves to this possibility would be the kind of hopeless, self-defeating troglodytes that routinely post on 4chan because they know they don't have any other options and nothing better (or more important) to do with their time. If you're posting on this site then you should be very familiar and thoroughly acquainted with this standard model 4chan user. There's no deliberate or pragmatic pursuit of knowledge or skill in these threads, just inane, unending circle jerking around gear, attention whoring, and fishing for replies.
For example: Aussiefag has been here for well over two years accomplishing absolutely nothing except for *getting some attention for himself*. The sad truth is that he has nothing else, this is his legacy: replying to other losers in /gg/ threads because his life is obviously devoid of any other social interaction.
If your goal is to wind up like this then posting gear here ad nauseum and avoiding actual musical discussion is definitely a good place to start.
Carry on.
>>65487291
>>65487370
>>65487399
i hope you're not one of those dudes who has top money gear but only play Am C G. if you're not a shredder kys my man.
>>65487509
tbqh there's something certainly cringeworthy about the tryhard autist that crawled out of /b/ :^)
>>65487545
>this amount of assmad
>implying Lorde actually posted on /mu/
o i am laffin
>>65487575
He's getting real meta now too. Pic related is something I posted verbatim a few threads ago. The people in these threads are getting better about it this shit though.
my strat is not in the pic cuz in the middle of a modding proces again
and no i dont do the djents, the 7 is my main post-rock guitar, go figure
>>65487549
i play mostly folk now on the acoustic
How do I stop the trem arm from flopping around and make it stay horizontal? I've had my whammy blocked for a few years now and I'm itching for some dive bombs.
>>65487545
When did lorde post on /mu/ and whos this bassist?
No one critisied deqdmau5 for posting here
>>65487860
Stick it up your ass and consult Google. Make sure you post your results here!
>>65487860
if it's an Ibanez trem, buy a new teflon-thingy that holds the arm
if OFR, put a small rubber washer under the screw
>>65487778
Wait, why is the input jack in the Jackson RR in the plate, like right in the middle of it? kek
>>65487920
>american designed
let's see how long it takes for this thread to become a cluster fuck of autism.
>>65487920
logic and reason
it's a much better place to put your input on than on the lower horn, like most cheaper RR's have
>>65487860
I'd advise you to check the op for info but
>Floyd Rose Setup Video Tutorial:
>[YouTube] Not Found [Embed] [Embed] [Embed] [Embed] [Embed] [Embed]
I'm sorry.
So if I can give quick advice, google it.
Wanna hear it from here, then... you have to adjust the tension of the springs and the strings so it's the same and the trem stays in place when not being used.
Basically, screw or unscrew the plate that holds the springs, tune guitar, check if it's horizontal, repeat process until horizontal.
>>65487953
My sides, not but seriously, I can still see the old input jack where it should be in the upper wing above the strap hold.
>>65487917
Thank you.
>>65487983
I don't want to know how to keep the trem block horizontal (I know that ya dingus), but how to keep the ARM from flopping around.
>>65487968
pics of the mustang pls
>>65487978
I'm sure all RRs have it in the upper horn, like even the one in the picture, problem is, why was it modded there? I'm sure it gets in the way of playing, it's right by the side of the bridge pup.
>>65488014
I should make you beg me faggot ;^)
>>65488023
Oh no no no, that's actually just a hole where the volume pot used to be haha
Got in the way sometimes when gigging, soI removed it
>>65488034
And you are back at it again posting my gear, I am considering a trip, don't make me do it troll.
>>65488034
fug u mayne
that's a real nice guitfiddle, what exact model is it?
>>65488055
Figured, yeah, that must be a super annoying place to have something when down strumming.
>>65488075
The one posting the pictures isn't me I wouldn't be so rude, I'm the one who posted the LP, but anyway it's the kurt cobain sig.
>>65488070
The last thread went to shit thanks to an anon who started to trip because someone was posting pictures of his gear as if it was him.
Just don't.
>>65488075
Notice how it has no scratches? I don't play it, I just polish it all day like a bitch.
>>65488075
Also the strat that is behind the mustang, a MIJ ST-72
>>65487549
He has a Kurt Cobain poster. He probably can't even play a C chord.
>>65488119
Then you have this guy >>65488129

>>65487778
I love the top and finish on the red one.

Thread tape for a Fender style and tighten the bolt on the back of the arm retainer on a Floyd.
>>65488145
nice, aged white is the masterrace strat finish
my Fernandes Revival strat, MIJ '84-ish, modded with DiMarzio Superdistortion and SD Hotrails, cuz I wanted to be Dave Murray for a while
>>65488075
Rate my acoustic. I bought it to learn some Coldplay songs but I never quite got around to it.
>>65488162
Now that you mention that, what's the hardest major chord with open strings?
Like, to identify how terrible the guitarist is, you could ask, hey can you strum a [chord] for me? and if he can't do it naturally then he's an absolute shit.
>>65488174
If you feel weird about it, put a written timestamp in the pictures next time so it can't be used again.
>>65488119
oh yeah blame the trip and not the trolls.
>>65488223
I don't really play acoustics and I don't know much about them desu
looks nice tho, kinda ukulele-ish
Super Champ XD
>>65488236

Back to /r/eddit, pal
>>65488239
>I don't know much about them
Yeah, me neither. I just buy random shit for decoration and keep it dusted. My Mom says I have the best taste in decor.
>>65488236
And yet you continue to post about the shitposting last thread instead of actually posting anything useful or interesting. If you're going to continue attention whoring at least be the change you want to see while doing so.
You reply constantly to what you call "bait" while complaining about off topic posting. How about just ignoring them, you absolute retard?
>>65488213
Not a huge fan of Fenders but I do love that white finish aged, especially if it aged in a smokers house and smokey bars to the point it's pretty much brownish yellow.
>>65488223
Post that guit all you want, only posted it earlier because someone requested it.
>>65488323
Yeah this is the real dael, previous owner gigged with it in pubs in the balkans for 15 years
It used to be Olympic White lol
>>65488323
yo you need to check out my new ax then dude!
>>65488236
You were feeding pretty hard tbqh. If you can't refrain from doing that, then tripfagging only makes it worse.
>>65488291
thats what the amp is called. the super champ xd
>>65488213
You're one of the few to realise it's aged white and not yellow, though that picture does have quite a warm yellow look about it, here's a shot in natural lighting.
>>65488291
Congratulations, you just played yourself.
>>65488271
>>65488396
>fender memeing
>>65488405
It looks like Graffiti Yellow at first, but you gotta take the lightning around it into account
I've been into aged white strats too long not to recognize them lol
>>65488405
Another anon here, is it a natural aged finish or is it the "tv white" manufacturers use?
They used to produce a light yellowish tint in the black and white tv era because actual white would be too bright for cameras, and the "tv white" yellowish tint would appear white but not extremely bright. Which is the color we now get just for fun.
Also dunno if you edited the pic contrast, tone, balance, etc. but it looks fucking sexy in there.
>>65488438
Here's another shot, just in case you didn't see it the three times I posted it in this thread already.
>>65488395
tru but i obviously got nothing better to do at the moment. thats why we all are here on 4chan.
>>65488323
This is that aged white >>65488405
>>65488145
is there anyone else who takes 8 strings seriously? cause its remember, its the player not the instrument.

This is exactly why no one takes 8 string guitars seriously.

>did you not notice the fret wear?
No, you should post a pic of it.
>>65488497
Personally I don't see the point of 7 strings unless it's for special chords or because you play in like different bands and it's easier to have one guitar you can use with their tunnings instead of one for each.
I mean, even bands now that used to play with 7s just tune 6s into standard B and forget about the high E.
I fail to see the point of 8, I haven't seen anything creative done with them that made me say "ah yeah, that totally couldn't have been made without an 8".
>>65488564
how do you wrap your hands around the neck?
i got pretty big hands and i got confused super easily on an 8 string
>>65488590

That's my only guitar, been playing for two years, about at least 2-3 hours a day. I don't think it's the climate, my friend two streets down has a cheap harley benton with an unadjustable bridge and it's fine. I sweat a lot, and strings usually last about two weeks.
>>65487545
>For example: Aussiefag has been here for well over two years accomplishing absolutely nothing except for *getting some attention for himself*.
iirc he worked with Bolt Thrower/Portal recently (or I'm getting him confused with someone else). I wouldn't say that's accomplishing nothing.
>>65488497
I want one, for weirder experimental/technical stuff, and solo playing, since you get the bass range and guitar range. Could be interesting with a looper too, or the EHX freeze.
>>65488590
>even bands now that used to play with 7s just tune 6s into standard B and forget about the high E.
Obscura/Spawn of Possession/Behemoth/Gorguts all use sevens and make use of every string.
>>65488598
You don't, wrapping your hand around the neck is terrible technique and you shouldn't do it.
>>65488598
its all about the thumb position. also scales transition downwards pretty easily. what ever your first guess as to what frets you play next is probably right.
>>65488477
So it's not a true Olympic white that has aged, it's what has been called a YWM white or yngwie malmsteen white, which replicates the Olympic white strat being used in a gigs and venues, I've always preferred this colour over a stark Olympic white.
>>65488672
edit* you put your thumb behind the neck with your fingers strait or else carpel tunel.
>>65488477
Also I should mention, tv yellow is rather mustard in comparison, the straight on shot is a better representation of its true colour.
>>65488487
Aww you saved all my shots, I am flattered.
>>65488633
Here it is, kids: 7, 8, and 9 string guitars are the result of kids playing in their bedrooms for years and years all alone. The poor kid in this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osaqzYuoNr4 [Embed] ) overly technical "playing" is unfortunately just a compensation for the lack of a bass player. It's sad because the point of music is communication and the most enjoyable form of this communication is a concert (where people gather to share the musical experience). The only people who'd be interested in this kind of guitar wankery are other isolated bedroom-stuck 7, 8, and 9 string guitar troglodytes, so it's YouTube and the bedroom again, and MOM WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY HOT POCKETS?!?
Seriously though, it's a symptom of extreme social detachment, and goes right along with a lot of other unhealthy things like playing video games as an adult, masturbating to internet porn, etc. You'll also notice all these bedroom "pastimes" require a good bit of rapid hand/finger movement.
Playing music shouldn't be the equivalent of mashing buttons on a video game controller or furiously jacking your tiny dick, which is obviously what 8 and 9 string guitar players believe.
Reminder that almost 10% of the thread is the same trip fag who responds to all bait, and will likely become the rest of the thread

>>65488777
nice triple digits, one dollar from just how much money "The poor kid in this video" makes.
>>65488797
upper horn comes under the arm (just like on an explorer), cutaway below the bridge makes it more comfortable for classical position, and the strat like cutaway on the bottom makes it rest well on your lap.
>>65488633
Ignoring that "I live from youtube" youtubers make me puke, especially rob scallon and his friends, I'd say that what he plays only makes sense if you busk in the street (which is exactly what it sounds like in that video).
If I wasn't in the street, I'd just leave the lows to the bass, have a rhythm guitar and one guitar for leads. It'd separate the notes better by channel and tone and give more clarity to the recording.
That's just my opinion and I'm just a random 360 no periscope player in an asian caricature forum.
>>65488645
Eh, the bands you mentioned do use 7s, and in the way I said
>unless it's for special chords
Also, SoP not both of them use the 7, I forget their names but one uses a 7 and the other a 6 in standard B. Luc Lemay uses a 7 in some songs, but not all of them, and his second live gig guitarist uses a 6, not only a 6 but a fucking SG, so it's not even the common superstrat with 24 frets and fender scale.
Also, noticing your reply to the opener troll
>iirc he worked with Bolt Thrower/Portal recently
Holy shit, Aussie, can you confirm? I'm so much into both bands I would fangirl over you and ask you some stuff about Portal which I'm interested about.
>>65488713
>>65488732
True, tv yellow is too yellow, but you never know from pictures until you see them irl because of the color balance and saturation done by the camera or photographer.
Also, I had no idea, I thought malmsteen's was a tv yellow... although I guess it makes sense it's an aged white since he got a white one (iirc) due to his heroe, ritchie blackmore, playing one like that.
Cool trivia m8. So then, is yours a malmsteen model then? knowing that you have another fender signature I guess it wouldn't be unexpected.
>>65488777
they have uses other than basslines and melodies on the same instrument. again i use it to play cooler chords. and in metal it alows you to have super low chugs and high solos on the same instrument.
>>65488788
Reminder that more than 10% of this thread is filled with posts from autistic man children that bare no relevance to the topic at hand all because they can't handle a few numbers
>>65488907
no one gives a shit about them
>>65488871
the extended range lends its self to creative players.
>>65488871
Yeah you pretty much hit the nail on the head with the malmsteen & Blackmore trivia, it isn't a malmsteen model no, it's a Made in Japan 72 reissue, 144 released in America and Europe otherwise it's a Japanese domestic market model. I didn't get the kurt cobain sig because it was his signature guitar, hadn't actually seen a fender mustang at that point (was just getting into guitar) I just really enjoyed the short scale and versatile tones.
>>65488777
Now that we're shitposting, I just wanna say that extended scales and other shit have been -through all history- a meme that doesn't accomplish much besides one or two good exponents.
Even fucking piano, other than rachmaninoff and a few other bitches piano hasn't been altered nor played beyond it's standard scale with success. And piano has had a long fucking history.
And I'm not against inuveishun, not trying new things, like the other time I fingered my ass to see what it felt like, BUT the video you posted further proves that it's not being used creatively, he's not doing anything impressive other than for newfags and kids just starting.
>>65488941
Well, I have nothing against extended scales, I just fail to see the point of using them for being a meme unless you're actually using them in a way that's creative. Like the examples you gave.
But those you mentioned are barely a drop in the ocean of mediocre extended range players. I quite like all the bands you mentioned, besides Behemoth, so nothing against them either.
>>65488975
>otherwise it's a Japanese domestic market model
Time to save for that sweet matching headstock candy red 'stang and now add to that an aged white strat.
Thanks for the info, hopefully that one japanese store that has shit in reverb carries it.
>>65488818
How would those frets even feel to play?
VM 51' or Affinity Tele?
>>65489068
Not that different from standard actually, I got used to it after 10 minutes
Multiscale took me a bit longer to adapt
>>65488869
>one dollar from just how much money "The poor kid in this video" makes.
Let me break it down for you, dummy.
ERGfag has 65 videos at this point at $777 per video. His first video was posted in 2007. That means he made **at best** $22,446 per year, ***literally*** the same as working full time at a gas station for minimum wage. ***But*** he didn't make $777 for every video because he had to build up to that point, meaning he literally worked for less than minimum wage from 2007 to 2016.
>poor kid
>literally poor
>>65488818
nice mememachine
>>65488985
everyone has there own opinions. i sadly agree with you that there are to many mediocre bands who misuse the instrument, but to there benifit it alows the low tuning without all of the intonation issues. it just feels better in that sense. and yes i do try to make creative pieces like that using all of the strings.
>>65489016
I believe I saw that ishibashi has the ST-72 (aged white strat) in stock but I'm not sure if they will alow export of new stock fenders, or just second hand stock.
>>65488848
What the fuck is that amorphous blob of hideous
>>65489130
cool maths
>>65489171
Toastin Abrasive's signature Ibanez
>>65489104
I'm not really familiar with frets of this type, what do they accomplish different to regular straight frets?
>>65489216
They are called True Temperamnet frets, they are supposed to make the guitar intonated to the point of perfection across the whole neck.
Kinda gimmicky IMO
>>65489216
each fret is intonated separate from every other fret.
Think you have to use a specific set of string gauge for it to work but should be as close to 100% intonated as it gets if set up correctly on every fret.
>>65489130
>65 videos
Excuse me, 260 videos not 65. The rest is correct though.
>>65489171
Alberto Barbosa signature ERG
>>65489130
So you would rather work at a gas station, full time, minimum wage than earn your money through one of your passions ?
>>65489257
>>65489262
Seems gimicky indeed, I don't see that happening on anything mainstream.
>>65489397
No, you wanted to imply he was making bank so I blew you the fuck out. Cry hard though.
>>65489130
Goddamn I would smash that
>>65489153
When I play as low as I go (for stoner/sludge stuff) which is A, the intonation starts to be an issue, but since it's not the kind of music that cares too much about it, I never considered it. But with that in mind, doesn't it turn to be the same if the 7+ guitars are still within the Fender length?
Or are the 8 and so on a bit longer? because otherwise I doubt the As or even Gs they have in those bass and guitars in one allow for proper intonation if they are just strat scale.
>>65489166
If they only allow second hand, no problemo, I'll just wait for one to be put up, that way I won't put down so much money at once... since I'm also thinking of buying one of their white Gibson Vs (can't find any locally).
>>65489130
I thought she looked cute there, then I watched her channel and she's just plain (or kinda ugly).
Is she's sponsored or does she pay actual money for that many meme machines?
>>65489598
She has a signature Strandberg Boden
>>65489130
Why does that cover sound off? is it another key or is it a bit modified? I don't remember the song sounding like that.
>>65489651
>you'll never be sponsored
I want my own model, I don't even care if it's a first act.
I've never played any guitar other than my strat, am I missing out?
>>65489690
The song is in Drop C and she played it with a B tuned guitar
I'd take a First Act Custom Shop anyday, those thigs are sweet
>>65489731
yes
>>65489733
Well, custom shops are sweet obviously (like the incredibly sexy one that Matt Pike has), I was joking about it being an entry level model they offer, one of those sub 100 bucks guitars.
>>65489731
3 frets and 2 strings obviously, do you even djent on djutube?
>>65489733
I actually liked (or still like) the song at the time, even if it started the whole deathcore meme.
It seemed like a couple of fucks who didn't have the ability to play death metal they liked did a song with what they could manage to play. Also they looked like average garage fags, unlike energy drink chugging bike riding and dying tattooed dumbasses.
>>65489796
First Act Custom Shop closed.
Parker guitars looks like they're next.
>>65489515
they do have longer scale lengths 27 is best for 8 imo.
>>65489932
N-no.
Parker everything or just their custom division?
Shit mang, I always wanted a parker just for the sake of it, now they are gonna be harder to find.
>>65489990
>Well
>I contacted USM to see if these parts were available, and received the following response:

Rip [spoiler];_;[/spoiler], one of the comfiest guitars I've ever played.
Hopefully someone buys them or something.
Also, a lot of guitar brands are dying or restructuring it seems.
Isn't BC Rich now back to custom shop only again? Seems they dropped every line.
>>65490059
>>65490124
Oh wait, let's hope the restructuring turns out well.
>>65490124
>rock and roll is dead
Fender's next. Go look up how they're all tied up financially with Guitar Center and what happens if GC croaks, which is a distinct possibility.
>>65490189
>“We were building ten-thousand-dollar guitars for twenty-five hundred." - Ken Parker
Nah, they're not coming back. At least not coming back high quality like they were before anyway.
Hey guys. I'm currently using the Donner DT-1 True Bypass tuner. I have an offer to get a Boss TU-3 for $40 from Craigslist. Is this a steal? Is it worth it? Is it gonna color my tone? HELP
>>65487549
are you stupid?
i can play F and D as well
>>65490325
If fender dies who will make guitars besides yamaha?
>>65488227
>what's the hardest major chord with open strings?
There isn't one, all majors are easy.
>>65490325
I don't mind if they drop the features that made them so overpriced, like the extreme neck joints they have, the carbon fiber reinforcements, and other shit.
I just liked the odd but comfy shape, the piezo, and so on.
And Fender going down with GC? they might need a rebuilding year, but going down I don't think so.
What I see fucking up many brands is if Cort-tek dies, because it would kill the production line of basically every cheap to middle tier model, and the restructuring needed to come back to production numbers at the price the market is used to might be too much for certain brands.
>>65490486
Gibson.
>>65490534
Well, yes but when you teach a student a chord, playing E is way wasier for them than say, F, G or C.
>>65490437
it's a good deal for a good pedal
>>65490540
>but going down I don't think so.
Yeah, they'll be fine.
>>65490558
What a terrible monopoly that would be. We need to support the local scene of guitar makers

>>65490590
thanks, will it ruin tone at all?
>>65490777
Nope, you got a bypass.
>>65490701
Well yeah i own a squier, but it was second hand and a bargain price. If i had a local scene i would have pounced on the opportunity
>>65490701
>we need to support the local scene
Would seriously love to if they could provide a guitar of the same specs and quality as my current main.
I guess that it would be more expensive tho and the only local luthier that I know that makes electric guitars is a huge edgy douchebag.
>>65491417
Is it Hufschmidt?
>>65491529
Naw, Hufschmidt is vastly more talented but perhaps similarly douchy.
I'm living in a third world shithole.
Best combo amp that I could find for $300 or less used? Hopefully tube, preferably with effects built in, and loud enough to be heard over drums
>>65491905
You're not getting tubes for under $300 unless it's a used Peavey or a fire hazard.
>>65488497
Only band with 8 string guitars i take seriously is beyond creation, their bassist is godly tho
>>65491905
Tube is not happening.
Theres the Acoustic brand of amps, Marshall MG series, Fender Champion/Mustang, and the Roland Cube series. All have high wattage models at low prices, but are all SS.
>>65491905
peavey valveking
thats your best bet
>>65492116
I like Haken too, although as one anon mentioned before, their prog to the top vocals aren't my preference but really like their instrumental parts.
>>65492274

What does anyone know about Dean Markley amps? There's one available for a very good price at a local store that I'll probably pick up tomorrow, but I just wanted to know if anyone here had any info on Dean Markley amps.
Looking at a Dean Markley K 150 to be precise.
>>65492304
Never heard of haken, will Check it out later. Recommend me some of their good shit?
>>65492411
maybe, but a used valveking would be within his price range, loud enough to go over drums, easily modded, and has a great clean sound and reverb
plus a/b/ab variation, bright/dark (tight/loose) switch
and when you trade out the stock tubes and speaker, install a dummy jack mod its like a 1000 dollar amp!

Why can't I find anything on alternate/open tunings for bass guitar?
Son of a bitch. Well I can't say that I'm too mad since I technically bought this for $24 and it will sell for double but here goes
> go see Ty Segall live and Charlie Moonhearts band is the opener.
> his reverb/delay he's using sounds amazing to me, get closer and see it's a Behringer VD400
> look them up next day and they're cheap($30) like the danelectro pedals
> buy one last Sunday on an impulse but hey $24 ain't bad plus if I ever want to upgrade I can sell it for what I got it for
> buy one on reverb guy takes a week to ship plus another 4 days from California to Illinois
> comes in the mail an hour ago and I open it to see this
Kinda sucks that I can't use that cool dinky pedal I was blown away by but I guess I can sell this and buy another for free technically or use the money and another $20 for a Boss DD or an Aqua Puss
>>65496331
>bass guitar
lmao
>>65496331
my guess is that with 4 strings, open tunings would kinda be pointless
help plz im stuck
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2H15GWNmeE&t=1m37s
how can I play cleanly that ascending and descending section at the 15th fret (1:40-1:41). is he hitting only the highest three strings? and how pressed do you need your left hand to be on the fretboard? it sounds muffled when i try it
>>65496610
mm, looks like the top 3 but playing the fourth string notated in the tab probably wouldn't sound bad
press down cleanly, you don't want muted strings
>>65488223
1/10 fuck small body twelve strings
I have a very, very cheap srtat copy and am currently trying to learn how to play. Would buying a thing to connect it to my computer an downloading some shit like cubase from piratebay be well spent money? I thought it might be nice for learning what the hell different sounds are,
>>65497005
definitely
check out the fender mustang series, they have an array of different effects and amp settings and has a usb jack to connect to a computer. i think it also comes with software

>>65497323
that will work as well, just wont be an amp is all.
>>65491905
I recently got a USA Blues Junior (I guess it's the first iteration?) for $300 off craigslist. The world is infested with cheap Fender amps.
>>65497005
you could take a low-risk chance on something basic like this: http://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Guitar-Cable-Adapter-Recording/dp/B00834KJ60?ie=UTF8&keywords=guitar%20to%20usb&qid=1465347464&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1
i'm not into that sort of thing but it's certainly a cheap way to get into making weird fart noises.
what's the most autistic fender?
>>65497483
Would buying the amp be well spent money for just playing alone in my moms basement?
>>65498059
DELETE THIS
>>65498059
yeah, there's plenty of nice bedroom amps out there that won't rattle the walls and risk you losing your tendie privileges.
>>65498006
probably the jazzmaster or mustang if you think about it, and i say that liking both of those instruments a lot
>>65498145
Is that better than just buying something ike >>65497323 and just using some effects and shit in pirated cubase though?
>>65498006
this is also pretty fucked up though, it has a kahler or some shit on it
>>65498185
yeah i mean that's a real interface but i'd personally get a nicer guitar before getting into nice pro audio stuff.

The sad truth is that he has nothing else, this is his legacy: replying to other losers in /gg/ threads because his life is obviously devoid of any other social interaction.
Haa ha ha. You're exactly where you belong, Aussiefag. Only the most derpy of basement dwelling dipshits could construe "working" (lol) with Bolt Thrower/Portal (LO*fucking*L) as actually "achieving" (lol) something.

Two things:
Do you guys write music with lyrics? If so what's your process like. I'm all over the place right now and having trouble getting things together. Do you start with lyrics? What part of the song do you write first? etc.
2. I'm thinking about picking up a classical guitar this weekend, any suggestions? Obviously I'm planning on trying out a bunch but if you guys have a solid place to start that would be appreciated
>>65502195
me on the right
>>65502393
I fill up 3 pages of sorta kinda lyrics on my theme, then I read over them over the rest of the week and highlight stuff I like. Then I put the lyrics away for a couple days. Then I try to write a song and melody on that, or try to apply whatever musical idea I had previously that'd fit.
Works okay
>>65502503
Jesus christ pull your strap up you slut
Why am I so horny
>>65502542
I dig it, as of right now i just write down little lines throughout the day. The problem with that obviously is they end up too different to incorporate in the same song.
What are you working on?
Currently learning jazz guitar, I have tried improvising on standards like Autumn Leaves, Blue Bossa, Days of Wines and Roses, and Polka Dots and Moonbeams.
Anything else I should try?
anyone else /highaction/ here
>>65501099
Yeah, big shoes to fill tho. Hopefully they write some new stuff soon
>>65502626

Dude I'm boutique now. But really if I had decent tools I would love to do these crummy mods for other people. Anyways, I only ask because some people take a few steps beyond just assembly, so I'm always happy to hear about it.

I'm just through the intro riff now. Kind of sloppy, but not too bad so far
https://clyp.it/5ojzm5db
Guys I've been playing guitar for 10 years now but everyone I play with is simply better than me. It's like everyone can solo and shit. And here I am playing a fucking minor pentatonic and still missing half the notes because I'm out of key again. I really really really want to improve on this point. I try to practice 2 hours a day but it gets really fucking demotivating. Is it that I don't know the notes on the fretboard?
>>65504244
Cry hard Aussiefag. You're the musical equivalent of some 21 year old loser hanging out in the high school parking lot gettin' his ass kissed by all the stupid teenagers for owning a bitchin' Camaro. You're only here because you're an insecure/lonely faggot looking for a cheap ego boost, hence your avatar images.
In the two years time you've wasted here getting your asshole tongue tickled by these kiddies you could've written an album, established yourself, and taken a seat beside mediocre clownshit acts like Bolt Thrower and Portal.
Stop wasting your time here, take the keys to the kingdom, and open the gates. No one needs you here, attention whore. Fucking leave.
>>65504763
I can figure out the notes but it takes me a couple of seconds to figure that the 3rd fret on the 6th string is a G for example while playing so I just end up guessing what the next note is that I'm going to play.
>>65504375
Just goes to show how shitty their products are. They probably pay $5 a piece for each of their guitars

Looking for a cheap strat, squier status cheap. Is the classic vibe worth the price difference between a vintage modified?
are gibson sg standards versatile guitars?
>>65505402
yes
>>65505402
As versatile as any HH guitar. If you want real versatility, don't buy a gibson. Get something with serious switching, and more than one type of pickup. If you've got the dough for a gibson I'm sure you can afford it. Or if you've really got the versatility bug, go for a roland guitar synthesizer... They have a reputation for making people fail blind tests.
>>65498734
I guess it's gonna be difficult with the timezones.
So did you write something with portal or just toured?
In any case, how does it work learning/playing their stuff?
Did they sent you tabs, or expected to learn it by ear?
Did they have any requirements over equipment to be used live and shit, or you could use your own as long as it got the tone down?
How is touring with them? favourite songs?
And how did you get the gig? I personally get them through personal recommendations but that only works locally so I'm limited to local acts and it gets kinda stale after a while. I know from a friend who does stuff with death metal bands that he simply has this circlejerk in facebook where bands know each other and talk and in the past it was rivers of gore forum.
>>65504763
I can't tell you immediately the notes on the fretboard unless it's in the 5th and 6th string. But what I do which works for me is to know scales perfectly across the whole fretboard for E (and by extention D and C when we downtune) I also know the mode "shapes" for different keys, so if I know Ionian for G, then I know Ionian for C, because I know where the root is for both and how the scale "looks" in that position.
So if we're playing a pop song in G major, I know I can solo over G Ionian (major) shape and E aeolian (minor), and if I overlap them together it covers basically the whole fretboard and that's simple, and if you know all your modes, instead of thinking of overlapping them I know that C lydian is there too in the G major scale, and so on.
And if it's metal, I make sure to solo only over the key of the bridge for the solo instead of trying to solo for each chord (because I'm not at that level of skill), so if the song riff is in C (because tuned in C) and we make a bridge in G, I'll solo over G. For metal I use minor, and harmonic minor, or bluez if it's a groovy metal kind of thing, so I also have to know those two other scales "shapes" and their root placement perfectly.
Think of it this way. For common stuff, there's only the major/minor scale, upon which modes are built. So knowing the major/minor across the whole fretboard gives you access to all of them. Modes help because they tell you scales in relation to the main scales, so instead of thinking about notes all across the fretboard, you just need to know the scale of the key, and from there you know the modes, and with the modes you know what "you're allowed to do" and where. This of course is for simple soloing over the main key only.
To solo over the chord being played or that dominates the bridge (like a subkey) you know that the chord becomes the dominant in that part, and you can use modes to go into another mode that also fits that chord voicing.

G5n has a better overall sound, but has way fewer parameters you can change making it much less versatile than the g3x. The g3x will be the only pedal you ever need for everything BUT drive though.
Overall the zoom g5n is fine for most but kinda a disappointment if you want to do crazy shit, since the whammy can't be made to control other parameters. If you want to be able to cover keyboard territory better, or you want to have trippy feedbacking delay sounds, the g3x or a boss gt series is better. Actually the gt series is better because the pedal assign can be set to multiple parameters simultaneously.
Do you want to use it with a good amp most of the time?

I'll look into the GT as well. I will mostly be using it on my practice amp (Fender Front man 25r) its the only amp I have right now. I'm in the market for a decent tube amp within the next year however. I'm fairly new to pedals and I'm not too interested in buying a ton of separate ones, would rather have an all inclusive unit unless I can be convinced otherwise. I'm open to suggestions.

Well, the most valuable thing the g5n does is the amps. If you're considering using the preamps and just getting a PA speaker in the future, that'd be the best choice. If you're planning on going with a real amp, boss is probably the best choice, since it can do everything, and has high quality stompbox drives. The amp sims are a bit weak though. The zoom g3x can do a ton as well but the stompbox drives are a tad weaker.
That said I'm looking for advice on this too. The full configurability of the boss gt and the crazy quality of drives and fuzzes, versus the realer than real sound of the zoom amps is too much of a dilemma. I've been thinking of buying an older post-2007 boss gt and a zoom g5n, but I realized I'm better off waiting for zoom to get their act together and restore the features of the older zoom models to the higher quality amps. I doubt that will happen via firmware update, so it might be some years.

wow its shit

Yeah for me the Amp modeling is more of a bonus. I just want the pedal simulations. Like I said I was planning on getting a decent amp, and I don't plan on gigging in the foreseeable future.

would it b possible to have a vocaroo riff battle
>>65510549
