Its /a/o'clock.
instead of playing guitar all I want to do is kill myself
How do I fix?
>>65770227
Play bass
My guitar has 5 knobs and active pickup, 3 of them are for tone, but the 4th one i cannot figure out, all it does is add hissing.
is it safe to post here yet?
is he gone?
>>65770227
What kind of guitar do you have?
I take valium for a few days when I get like that. It's a pharmaceutical holiday.
>>65770272
I don't have a bass or a job and instead of getting a job all I want to do is kill myself.
I do plan on getting some sort of cheap bass at some point to mess with.
>>65770299
I have an acoustic and an electric. If I had valium or damn near any other drug I'd probably be on that shit right now, but I'm out of money and drugs don't really help with this anyways. Distractions are nice though
>>65770297
It's always safe
Do I heave to learn every note on the fret board. There's damn near 80 of the fuckers
>>65770520
There's 12....
>>65770294
Maybe a coil split, maybe "presence" a.k.a. very high frequencies. Anyway I'm sure you can look it up.
>>65770434
Honestly even though blogs are blogs, here's my advice. Exercise daily. Unfortunately it's still the most effective known treatment for depression.

>>65773052
looks 10/10. go for it. looks are more than half the battle, surely gibsons a good brand. looks great then just have it set up nice intonation, relatively fresh strings... the worst case scenario is that like you want to replace the pickups for some reason but it should be great.

>>65773185
youd like that, are you the church guy?
>>65773196
No
But I do make sure to attend church on a weekly basis. Why?
>>65773052
The bridge pickup is horrible, and the neck is great but too muddy for somr things, forcing you to use the lousy bridge. That tone isn't worth it. Also, neck dive.
>>65773229
Why the fuck are people in this thread going to church. That's doing nothing for your tone you superstitious cunts.
I have been playing guitar for a while and I'm gravitating more and more towards heavier music. My strat just isn't cutting it for the style of music I currently want to play. Looking for a metal guitar, heard you guys say the Ibanez RG series is decent. Any specific model?
>tfw you dial that perfect action and almost perfect flat neck
>>65773342

>>65773342
>he doesn't receive Communion

>>65773380
Any guitar with a humbucker bridge will give you a heavy tone. If you want it to look like a metal guitar that's up to you. Anyway your strat in position 4 ought to do it. Otherwise I'd say a baritone for good measure is a good idea. I kinda like the looks of the hadron, plus the neck through makes it good for shredding.

Thanks for the advice. Another part of why I'm looking at another guitar is wanting have multiple guitars in different tunings, because I'm lazy and knowing I'll have to re tune to play puts me off. I had three electrics at one point; an epiphone SG that I threw some heavier gauge strings on for really low shit, an austin that was drop tuned and the strat. I had to sell the Austin and SG to fix my car.

You can try stealing it. Otherwise, get a different guitar with a big pickguard and put jazzmaster pickups in it. It'll sound the same and you'll have $5700 left over to spend on hookers and blow and bluray box sets.

Do any of these handle distortion well? I know they may not have good built in distortion but how do they take peddles? I think the jc120 would be too expensive, and plus I wouldn't have the opportunity to play it to it's full extent (loud).

Based on your description it sounds like the Mustang doesnt suit your hands at all, and that is kind of hard to work around. Sell it and buy something similar, like a Jaguar och Jazzmaster for example.
>>65775448
The Roland JC120 is a Solidstate so you dont need to crank it. It has a great built in chorus/Vibrato and a good reverb (as far as I can remember) the clean tone is amazing but the distortion in the amp is not great, but it takes pedals great so just get that for distortion.

Once you get the basics down it's get easier

Doesn't have to be an RG. They just typically have thinner necks and are overall more conducive to "playing fast".
Just get a guitar with a humbucker in the bridge and put 11s on it, you'll be good to go.

Guys how often do you get your guitars professionally set up? I mean take it into a music store and pick it up the next day?
I've done it maybe 3 times ever, I've been playing guitar for almost a decade, so this seems pretty sporadic - but every time I've gotten it back it plays like a fucking dream. I also live in a climate where the humidity is completely fucked between seasons so my acoustic gets a little warped I guess.
Is there a guide online about how to professionally set up a guitar? I mean action, truss rod, cleaning, strings, everything a professional tech would do? Or how do you learn?
Getting my first guitar tomorrow (acoustic) I know almost nothing about guitars, just the basics, what should I learn first?

>>65782963
The intro to Roundabout
>>65783247
Apparently according to another anon they aren't very comfortable to play and can neck dive pretty good. Most short scale basses don't have a very complex tone, which makes them kinda useful because you can get away with being as melodic as you like. Also, short scale and semi-hollow mean more attack. This can be good for emphasizing rhythm.
On the other hand, the tone can be described as "dead". They're kinda less pleasurable to practice on for that reason. You also have a smaller dynamic range though really that's not a problem.
Mini humbuckers are probably my least favorite bass pickup of all time. Obviously some people like them so make up your own mind on that.
Is there much difference in build quality between a standard Les Paul and a classic reissue Led Paul?

>>65783052
I myself have a Behringer U-Phoria UMC22 as interface (got two inputs so you can record guitar and vocals at the same time if you want to). Pretty much plug and play, plus if you ever get proper studio monitors you can hook them straight up to the interface.
For software, I got Amplitube 3 with all the expansions (so simulations of Orange, Fender, Marshall etc.). It's pretty cool, though bear in mind that it sounds better through speakers than on headphones (much like a practice amp).
Also, for distorted sounds I found Native Instruments Guitar Rig to have a wider variety, though I never use it since it's a bit convoluted and doesn't feel much like real gear.
>>65783685
Led Paul would certainly be much heavier and much more poisonous

As the owner of these two. >>65775275
Tonally they're just neck and bridge pickup Mini Stratocasters, they sound exactly like a Strat and sometimes if you dial it in right the bridge can sound twangy like a Tele. The neck scale is great 24.75 is arguably the perfect scale for the average guitarist. The radius on the mustangs are so/so 9.5 is the standard Fender scale and usually have jumbo frets, 7.25 is described in my post I replied to. For the money?
>Fender Mustangs sold secondhand?
Not really I remember them being sold for $350-450 a couple years back
> Fender Mustangs imported straight from Japan like Ishibashi?
Never. $600-800 and customs will fuck you in the ass, plus the bodies are majority basswood so it's just an upgraded Squier version
> Squier VM Mustang?
Hell yes. You can get them easily for under $250, the neck is great and it plays nice too if you give it a good setup. The only flaw is the pickups so you'll need to swap those eventually but you can fit any Strat pickup in there anyways. I'll suggest Lace Senors, Duncan's, Fenders, GFS, (if you wanna be cheap) Curtis Novak, and Lindy Fralins
I hate scales and want to kill myself
>>65787914

>>65775571
Very nice guitar mate.
>>65781130
I own one and I love it. If you live in the US, you won't be charged any customs taxes for imports like >>65787901 said. I paid $625 total for mine, which is a 1969 reissue with a matching headstock.
Anyway, a question, somebody asked about the Crush 20 earlier and was replied with "you could do worse". I was actually planning on buying one for bedroom practice since my old modeling amp is acting wonky. I considered the Marshall DSL5C but then I realized I don't really need a tube amp for bedroom practice, so I decided to go solid state.
I could get a Crush 20 for $100 but do you guys have other SS amp recommendations for bedroom playing?
>>65775843
I would but the thing is I hate those wide and slim Jag/Jazz bodies they just look like flattened blobs. I'll measure my neck pocket and see if I can fit a Jaguar neck onto the mustang, when I tried out some Jaguars the necks were really nice.
>>65782716
I get it done once a year but its usually a new guitar that plays like shit or my shitty old Teisco. I learn from Dave's World of Fun Stuff on YouTube, watch the ones where he teaches a girl named Danielle (I think?) he explains his methods well on there. Also the guys from Stewmac they have a lot if prescise techniques they do for standard repair and maintenance. Average you should pay is like $45
Absolute beginner here. I need some help. I've been trying to get the D chord down right and I'm having trouble with my 3rd/ring finger which I place on the 2nd string on the 3rd fret pushing down on the 1st string and muting the sound. Is there anything I should keep in mind while practicing to eliminate this? Also, why is it recommended to always press down on the edge of the feet? Thanks

focus on just that finger for a minute, take the other 2 off. roll your finger around on the fretted string and see how much room you have until it makes contact with the strings above and below. both the E and G strings should ring clearly as you play that 3rd fret D on the B string. personally, i have about 1.5mm space between the nail and the G string, and maybe 1mm between the pad of my finger and the E string, sometimes less depending on the angle of my finger. whatever size your window is, that's where you need to have your finger every single time you go to fret that chord. play slow and focus on fretting every chord as cleanly as possible. it will quickly become muscle memory.
if you want to see why you should be fretting as close to the fret as possible, experiment with varying degrees of finger pressure right on the fret, in the middle, and far away. you'll find that it takes much less force to make a much cleaner note the closer you are to the fret.

I own this guitar and its totally ok for the price. I prefer folk strings and fingerpicking stuff on this guitar.
>>65772753
just bought pic related for $100 plus a small trade. It's worth about 350 I'd say.
All solid wood.

anybody bought a body from gfs? how does it compare to warmoth?
want to build a partscaster, don't know if i should buy the swamp ash from gfs ($70) or spring for the warmoth one ($175)
might just spring for the warmoth but i wondered if anyone had experience with gfs bodies before.

Does mu like my guitar
>>65791802
What is it?
>>65791802
I don't mind the rails but the angled humbucker looks bad. The magnets appear have unever coverage on the outer strings, which may affect the sound. The gimped volume control is just careless.
>>65792112
*uneven
>>65792112
the coverage is even, the guitar was tilted so it's just an illusion. the sound is unaffected. the volume control was necessary because i keep knocking the knob when i palm mute or grab for the tremolo and other shit
>>65792107
squier bullet strat with a bill lawrence humbucker in the bridge

>>65781130
Depends on what you like, I have most of the fender models but I prefer a Jag over the Mustang. I love the short scale but prefer the Jag/Jazzmaster body and pickups.
>>65791802
I've always wanted a bill lawrence, the one with the side shielding. Beautiful tone. Put a lipstick in the neck boss, the middle is the only strat sound you need.
>>65792369
Not guy asking about the Mustang but I love the Mustang feel and I love the Jaguar sound, would a Cyclone be perfect for me?
>>65792672
cyclone doesn't have jaguar pickups... so no. If you mean the cyclone 2, sure. Short scale makes a difference but the driving factor of the Jaguar's tone is the pickups.
>>65792672
I'm not sure if they have the same pickups, plus I've never seen one before in real life so they might be quite hard to come by. Just do the same as me and buy both.
Looking for a replacement bridge pickup for my Jag, which only has a Duncan Designed pickup. Anyone have a recommendation?
>>65792830
tell me about that jaguar man
How good should I get at my acoustic before I buy my first electric
>>65792830
I'm a picky little bitch though, I hate the Jaguar body. Plus the Cyclone III is usually $150 more then the average MiM Jaguar
>>65792968
Was a Squier VM that I stripped and re finished, made the back of the neck satin and stripped some of the lacquer completely, looks like a shitty relic job on the neck but is incredibly comfy.
I resprayed in Nitro Sherwood Green with matching peghead and a thin Nitro Satin Clearcoat.
I put a buzzstop on it and stuck a Fender 65 pickup in the neck and it sounds killer, plays better than any other Jag Ive played.
Plus anime sticker on the back makes the tone better.
>>65792672
>>65793116
Kek, stop putting "anonymous" in the name field, it's automatic
>>65793338
just admit removing the lacquer completely was an accident
>>65793116
>Cyclone III
what the fuck is a cyclone III?
y'all mothafuckas have any experience with old japanese guitars? Namely stuff like teisco and univox has been catching my eye
I was wondering if they played or sounded decently
Post your riffs faggots.

That's a pretty massive category, but in general they don't play well without work. Not only can you bet any vintage instrument is going to need work, but these are particularly cheaply made vintage instruments.
If you want to know how to get one playing nice, start by buying the first $20 guitar on craigslist. If you can get that playing perfect, a teisco is a fine guitar.

Thanks anon. I hate it when people post things other than pictures of squiers and rondos. It scares me.
>>65793054
As good as you want. Electric is actually easier than acoustic in some ways. All that matters is that you're certain enough that you'll keep playing guitar that the electric won't be a waste of money.
>>65793764
It wasnt mister I swears it
What riff should I learn lads?

how do i get band members? i'm in college but not at the dorms. i don't have any friends among the people in my classes so i can't just have a friend of a friend who plays drums play with me
>>65794610
Tasty, cheers. This will keep me busy for a while.
>>65794647
Post an ad at the college I would imagine. I'm sure the place is teeming with bedroom musicians looking to start something.
>>65794610
lol at all the people in the comments critiquing his guitar technique and intonation when he's the guy who wrote the song
>>65794696
like on a bulletin board? i never thought about that but now that you mention it i see them all over the place. thanks for the suggestion have some soup
>>65794735
No problem dawg.
>>65794035
They feel and play terrible without a proper setup but sound very nice, the pickups are unique in their own way since a lot of them vary
>>65793808
It's a Cyclone II with an extra I
>>65793564
Oops had it on during the copy poster days
>>65794647
Well what i did would talk to people who clearly are into music (wearing band tees and Fender/Gibson shirts) about music and what they like and see if they play anything. My first band consisted of suburban kids that wanted to play blues. My band in high school was a pop punk band with me and the bassist who listened to a lot of 70s punk and the drummer and guitarist listened to a lot of pop punk. I also joined a stoner metal band in my freshman year of college because I met a stoner drummer and guitarist at a Sunn O))) concert an we lived nearby. Right now I'm just making some garage rock with some guys I've met living in the outskirts of Chicago.
>>65794787
Honestly I didn't think anyone would really think of trying to use the force to play guitar.

I've still not actually listened to the song yet but I love this riff.
I'm gonna go listen to the song now. I hope the vocals aren't gay.
>>65795030
K, the song is bitching. Nice to learn a new band today.
What are you guys working on now?
I'm procrastinating really hard on my ambient project, it's been 1+ years and I have only written 3 songs, one isn't even good.
I'm interested in writing pieces for solo electric guitar, Joe Pass style but like the piano is usually classical pieces solo wise, the electric guitar is usually jazz oriented. Not that it's a bad thing of course, but it's gonna take a while to absorb the vocabulary of jazz.
in my country im paying U$A 3,500 dollars for a USA jazzmaster / jaguar
Whats the price in USA in a standard music house?
>>65795075
>ambient project,
Just take those 3 songs and run them through paulstretch. Bam, full album.
>>65792236
i have a bullet strat
the pickup upgrade
does it worth it?
>>65795122
That's like saying just chug 0-0-0-0-0-0, add a few drum beats and bass and call it a djent song.
Oh wait A Wolf Amongst Ravens exist..

In the US the American Vintage 65' Jazzmaster is $2,300 new. If you bought it at a store like Guitar Center you could maybe talk them down to below $2,000. Don't know how imports/haggling works in your country.
>>65795115
Don't fall for the made in america meme, we have factory workers like everyone else. It's built on an assembly line, not by a craftsman.
>>65787901
Is the Squier VM routed for humbuckers? There's a used one in my area that's tempting me and I'm thinking about going that route.
>>65795396
To what extent are high-end MIA Fenders (like roughly $2k+) just crapped out by machines?
>>65795299
sick bro watch me slam this brewski
>>65795408
Sorry to disappoint you but no it's not. When I worked on this one it was the regular SS. Unless you want to go wild and cut some of the wood off the middle for HH. Before the lipstick and Hot rail I was gunna put some vintage P90s from my old teisco but I didn't want to have a shell of a vintage guitar and they wouldn't fit anyways. Just go for some lace sensors, Joe Bardens or hot rails
>>65795443
To the exact same extent as every guitar on the market. The fact is every manufacturer makes the same decisions about what parts of the guitar should be done by hand and what parts should be done by machine. This goes for made in america fenders and gibsons as well as $20 department store guitars.
Who else /Line6SpiderII/ here?
Fuck the haters.
Holy shit, why didn't anyone tell me ostrich tuning was so fun?
>>65795503
Are there any super high-quality guitars made in China/Indonesia/etc. I should be aware of, then? Or is the meme so prevalent that you can't sell that kinda instrument without the MIA badge?
>>65795669
I play a squier telecaster made in china and give zero fucks, it works fine.
