Carson Bell
I'm the opposite. When I play loud it sounds like arena rock tier stuff. And my adrenaline gets pumping and I literally bust out guitar solos of legend. Everyone in the neighborhood gathers near my windows and women start having orgasms in the street.
Liam Miller
Will /gg/ pitch another fit in this thread because no one takes them or their opinions seriously in real life or online?
None of you will ever have 1/10th of the success Kirk Hammet has had playing guitar.
Why do you think that is?
Elijah Edwards
i'm trying to write songs now too... I'm fucking terrible at pulling riffs from scales.. I cant write a hook that would catch a dead fish.. .

About to order this beauty, what do you guys think?

i'm not a dick rider.

I would never personally order a strat without playing one.
Colton Barnes
>buying a strat with only 21 frets in 2017
haha fucking loser
Jaxon Diaz
I've played on Strats, and I have a Squier Strat from the 90's which I had for like a fucking decade now, and which I actually love. If I'm that infutiated with a Squier Strat, I'll love my new Fender. Plus, like I've said, I've played on many Strats before.
Carson Bailey
What does /gg/ think of Rob Scallon?
Brandon Lewis
What do you prefer to call it? Bandwagoning?
Choosing to ride a bunch of smaller dicks instead of riding the big giant one is still riding dick, user.

Joseph Hill
woah buddy, this is /gg/ you can't criticize unless you're better than the player you're talking about.
Connor Hernandez
No. I just dont ride any dick and do it all for myself. Fame is the goal of youth and stupid people. I dont want to make you feel anything with my playing. I want to get out what I struggle to express in other ways.
Sebastian Carter
That's my point, in my own eprsonal experience fender strats and teles have been very hit and miss more often than not coming down to the individual guitar feeling good / bad instead of using the models as indication. Played a few dog shit fenders worth ~£1000 and some incredible ~£200 dark horses. hence why I would never buy a fender strat without trying it myself.
Austin Mitchell
Yeah less than 22 is basically unplayable..
Juan Sanders
Gonna get me an 1960 Tribute Plus.
Doesn't look like I'll have enough time today to order it, so have to put it off till monday.

Looking for an acoustic-electric. Is this worth the money?
Justin Myers
I just found out there are people who play G chords with three fingers and that this is a common, "accepted" way to play a G chord. What the fuck?
Aaron Howard
>I do it all for myself Sure you do, squirt. >express lmao, express to who? The people you "don't want to feel anything" with your playing?
You can't even be honest with yourself, this is why you're a failure taking shots at successful people like Kirk Hammet online.
Nolan Parker
Yeah i feel you on that, beautiful burst colour mind you. Tumblr is great for gear lurking because all the hipsters put time and effort into their pictures in the hopes people notice them.

Alexander Russell
>not him I don't give a flying fuck if kirk can play or not, doesn't affect me in the slightest, I don't listen to his music. If people enjoy it then whatever, people are also into being shit on (my point being to each their own) but guitar is a great way to express yourself musically, it doesn't have to be to anyone else. the only other person who listens to my playing is my father because he plays too, outside of that I play for my own sense of gratification and because it's (this may be hard to understand) f u n. Guitars are fun, they're infuriating, they're nice to look at, they're whatever you decide to make of them. if he thinks its shit, so what, you think its not shit, so what. nothing changes because of these opinions so stop getting worked up over things you can't control. Fuck me, lads. >6/10 if rused im sick of /gg/s bickering
Joshua Ward
>express to who? Me. Can you not read? Or are you too busy trying to read between the lines at your own script? Your bait is cute but your argument style is one of those "just declare yourself the winner and you've won" types. Have fun being a faggot.

Nolan Bailey
How heavy is your electric guitar and what would be the weight of the absolute heaviest guitar you'd play standing up?
And do tonewoods really matter or is it really just the pickups, amp, strings, and pick that make 99% of a solidbody electric guitar's sound?
Leo Bell
I have a Viking
Very comfortable to play Gets really great feedback when you want it. Though that's probably the same for any hollowbody.
Brody Bailey
hm I guess you're right, bro. I'll go and play it, and if it feels right, I'll buy it. Luckily, the shop I'm ordering from isn't that far away, it's like 3-4 hours by train, I'll just go and try it out. Thanks, man.
Anthony Anderson
vikings just seem way to big imo
Justin Smith
My guitar is about 8 pounds, though i'm willing to play a 10 pound guitar standing up.
As for tonewoods, they don't mean much imo. Pickups,amp, and string matter much more for a solid body. That being said, the denseness of wood as a small effect on sustain from my experience.
Jackson Brooks
Lads, where can I find a place that sells custom SG bodies? The Warmoth body isn't what i'm looking for, I mean a real SG like this
Brody Diaz
I guess. But unless your like 5'6 I don't see how they can be that big. Super lightweight too.
Jack Turner
When it comes to a Strat what's the big difference between a rosewood or maple fretboard? How much does it affect the tone? I have several guitars and they all have rosewood so I'm thinking of going maple when I finally buy a Strat but I'm not sure.

I sold my Two-Rock Crystal this week (the closest the common man can get to a John Mayer tone). It was the most expensive piece of equipment I've ever purchased ($3.5k), and was fucking unbelievably amazing, but in the end I realized I'm just not worth of it. It was like driving a Ferrari to the grocery store. I'm going to continue practicing until I've earned the right to such tones (been playing 20 years btw).
Why would you want to sound like John Mayer anyways. Also that amp doesn't sound like anything special, you can easily get that sound out of a Deluxe Reverb.
Caleb Howard
lmao
Luis Lewis
what did you cop instead
Jayden Kelly
>tfw u r the triggermaster
Michael Cox
I didn't want to sound like Mayer, I just wanted perfect cleans. Short of a Dumble I don't think there is an amp that can rival its clean tones, every single person who heard it or played it was floored. A modern Fender amp isn't even in the same ballpark unfortunately. It just had magic, I don't know how else to say it: youtu.be/-BP20vXgu-w
Nothing, I've got a few g's I can just put in the bank or find something new. I'm actually considering picking up a Kemper for the massive variety of profiles. They're all slightly inferior to the real thing, but it's a compromise I can live with. youtu.be/BY7tYUn445E

don't get a kemper. i did the whole axe-fx thing for a while. it was nice, but the technology changes so fast. that shit will be outdated before you know it. I sold mine and haven't looked back.

Daily reminder that if you cant sweep youre a pleb.

I know, the thought of pulling the trigger on Kemper is painful because I know they'll just always ship a superior one in the near future, kind of the opposite of valve amps. I'll at least wait for the next one, we'll see.
Jose Reyes
"sweeping" isnt a necessary skill you dumbfuck
Robert Sullivan
How the fuck else would you do it? Mute the a string and just let the high b play instead?

Kayden Bailey
Hey guys.
Just wondering what useless piece of gear i should waste my money on this month instead of becoming a better play. Let me know.
Andrew Watson
don't be that guy, its so obvious it hurts > pic related is you
Robert Reyes
I listen to many genres of music and nobody I'm familiar with sweeps. Actually I take that back. I took my father to see John Fogerty live a few years ago and he did some sweeping during the "Ramble Tamble" jam. It didn't impress me that he was sweeping so much that a 70 year old took the time to learn a new technique like that. Tells me he's still into learning new stuff.
Lucas Thompson
yes we get it you're one of these meme retards who posts all day about some guy named "rome" or about "baiting"
why dont you grow up a little bit.

>intellectual Pretending to be a retard isn't smart because even if you're just pretending everyone still thinks you're a retard.

Its necessary if you want to be anything more than a pleb guitarist in the modern day. Stick to chords if youre so triggered.

Luis Young
What if I play all my arpeggios legato, but faster and more fluently than most people sweep? Can I still be a patrician?
