Nolan Anderson
Purple strandbergs are now available
Is it a good color for a guitar?
Noah Stewart
Yes.
Ryan Barnes

Isaiah Moore
Something from Rondo maybe
Julian Bennett
I've never learned to play an instrument before. I love the sound of bass guitars and want to learn how to play one, but there seem to be more resources for non-bass guitars in general. Would it be easier to learn how to play a non-bass guitar and then transition to a bass guitar or would just jumping into the bass guitar by adjusting exercises to accommodate fewer strings work best?

bass guitar would be quite easy to get into. I started on guitar and then started learning bass several months later.
Not that guitar is overwhelmingly hard to get into. On guitar you have up to six strings to manage simultaneously. On bass your gonna be picking one at a time, 99% of the time.
Evan Peterson
Used RG760/761 if you can find it, brand new Schecter if you want a 26.5" scale. I tried an RG7420 and it was fine too, but the longer scale lends itself better to downtuning
I'd prefer a little more saturated look, unless the picture's at fault. but hey it's a strandberg, if I could buy one I wouldn't even care for the color.
There's just as much ressource.
Owen Powell
Any female guitarists here?
Jonathan Nelson
I'm a girl
Carter Kelly
>On bass your gonna be picking one at a time, 99% of the time. maybe if you're a boring bassist sure
Noah Lopez
i do, its hard to make that kinda music with dudes who dont want to get drunk 24/7

so whenever I use Logic's distorted patches, all my chords sound muddy and terrible. it sounds like chalkboard noises. I can't even distinguish the notes. is there something wrong with my setup? I can't mute strings yet but I don't think that's the problem here.
like just for an example, "standard" jazz guitar, for lack of a better term, is more inside than outside, but jazz fusion type of stuff is all over the place
Charles Mitchell
So whenever I use distorted presets in Logic it sounds like mud. What knobs do I have to mess with to be able to distinguish the notes?
I'm trying to get this sound, which seems like it has a lot of distortion but the notes have actual separation (but what do I know, I'm just a 13 year old Japanese schoolgirl):
How about how not to tune your instrument to anything but 324hz A
Christopher Ross
yeah well I thought you had to watch the show to be allowed to post on Sup Forums
sage
that's really cool but if they ghetto rigged the neck it would be more impressive
Bentley Harris
Quarter step down master race But seriously, it sounds so much better than standard to my ears
Carson Nguyen
what are some different cordophones I can DIY without too much difficulty or wood skill?
Angel Jones
I'm ok but I'm not as good as I want to what do
Carter Bell
Use actual amp sims, not just default vsts, they're not tailored for guitar.
Great trick if you're going to play with a piano !
a fretless bass is probably the easiest instrument to build.
Oliver Gomez
>tfw you found THE guitar

I didn't think to take one. It's an orange mim fender strat. I'm gonna buy after this week's paycheck.
Juan Scott
well if you want to sound like a specific group of people then study their theory. almost every unique culture has its own somewhat unified theory and even then theres usually a lot of people who dont follow it. in the western world to sound chaotic we use chromatics- which is literally just a fancy word for play every note in order. if you want to get mathy chaotic, play twelve tone (except theres literally nobody who enjoys listening to that its just an exercise in theory).
what i did was start out playing blues, expand into jazz, and when i felt like i could hold my own among other musicians improvising and composing, i started learning japanese and indian theory- japanese because it tends to follow a simpler but different set of rules from western and indian because theyre fucking crazy with microtuning and micronotes and shit-or turkish as well their microtuned guitars are fucking insane
Jackson Gomez
>if you want to get mathy chaotic, play twelve tone (except theres literally nobody who enjoys listening to that its just an exercise in theory). Ron Jarzombek kinda does that. It sounds great. youtube.com/watch?v=IVyUHFl0iB8
Bentley Bailey
you could try fucking with the pedalboard settings if thats what youre using to distort. can you post which specific distortion preset youre using? most of the defaults are p shitty
Colton Russell
I have that same guitar.
William Hill
Heyyy fellow ling to site sigue fan. Play in compoumd time signatures, fast strumming, high pitched vocals, arpeggios, huge pedal board of boss pedals going into a twin reverb/other fender amp. Telecaster from Schecter is also amp good idea.
Jack Rogers
I don't even know the exact model I own. Mine's 22 frets but still as garbage
Carter Rivera
should i sell my sg to partially fund a parker fly mojo?
Asher Sanchez
hes switching between the "chunks" by playing the major fifth and thirds 95% of the time and then just doing a lot of sus2 and sus4 isnt he? im oversimplifying like crazy but it seems less like hes playing "true" twelve tone and more poppy. it does sound really good though actually i love that C/E/F/Bb riff wow. i need to get better at guitar
Ron Jarzombek's a completely insane guitar player though, he's insanely fast in Spastic Ink too, and that was twenty years ago.
Gabriel Perez
Anyone know if the Fender American Elite range is actually better than the American Standard?
Andrew Nelson
jesus christ that is insane, he made chromatics and diminished sound so cool... and actually make sense to me.
Henry Cook
Do you guys sing while playing? I never liked my voice and when my bandmates ask me to sing while playing i rejected. but since i started smoking half year ago, I kind of like my singing voice. anybody experienced similiar?
Brayden Wood
its better than not practicing
Nicholas Watson
>implying anything is better than not practicing
Justin Jones
recommend me some electric blues song to learn pls
Ethan Harris
I have the same question except specifically for beginner who only knows open chords and blues scale
Sebastian Ross
How do i getthat specific pinch harmonic "pwee" tone
I know these examples might make me look like i'm shitposting but i'm not
find your guitarist , change the amp settings , get EMG's or humbuckers, bend slowly but hard
also probably you were deluded by the fact that you are maybe in standard tuning and those examples you posted were drop B and/or lower , kinda how your mind makes you think something is better because it's louder so...
Charles Clark
me :)
started like 3 months ago >bought a VM jag >pretty surf green color >took lessons for a week >stopped and started using justinguitar >haven't been in the mood to play cause i suck so bad >decided to try again for the first time in month today >progress a little >too hot in room >july weather >stop playing out of uncomfortableness and frustration
can winter and uni get here faster please?
can wait to move into my single room dorm so i don't annoyed ppl with my shitty playing
Jose Gutierrez
>>bought a VM jag
stopped reading there
Owen White
no you didn't but thanks for the response
Ethan Lopez
That settings thread is absolute BS, I got tricked by it when I started learning in a Frontman 25R trying to get Metallica's tone.
Brayden Walker
Mick thomson's settings are aight tho ,also not all amps are the same , some are brighter than others, if you want metallica's tone just scoop the mids a lot and raise the high freqs , play around with gain and bass to get what you want
Hunter Turner
Get the fuck out.
Henry Gomez
>get EMG's or humbuckers get good, i can play them on single coils fine i'm pretty sure I could even do them on piezos
Christopher Morgan
suck my dick
Leo Ward
I've had this thing about a month. Finding a definitive way to set up the trem system is a little difficult. Before, I put 11s on it, adjusted the spring tension to the tightest it could be and lowered the tailpiece to sit pretty low. This resulted in the trem bar angling upward and being really tight, along with pretty tight string tension, but it was staying in tune. Is the trem bar supposed to be parallel to the body? To accomplish that, I lowered the spring tension all the way and raised the tailpiece up more and it now sits parallel, but I'm not sure if it's going to stay in tune with use. Thoughts/advice?
Xavier Thompson
Thanks for the advice.
It was long long ago... I now have a particular sound that I go to and own a far better amp.
> He doesn't wants a guitarist waifu to jam with Also Asuka best waifu.
Ian Wilson
>11s
Hunter Sullivan
>24.75" >anything lower than 10
Andrew Hill
this
except not really. shinji best waifu. And he plays the cello so I can make sweet music with him
Kevin Harris
He also plays the piano homobeautifully.
Daniel Smith
>falling for memes
We tried to warn you, we really did.
Dylan Bailey
I guess this is kinda gg related. Just picked this up today.
Nathaniel Russell
did you put it back down again?
Evan Morgan
kek Nice, we were talking about classical instruments before.
Thomas Lee
>tfw the guy you know who plays classical piano can also play guitar way better than you like it's nothing, and doesn't even seem to spend much time practicing guitar
When in doubt about whether you can go faster or not, watch him. He's got great phrasing too, really better than listening to some wankster like Yngwie.
Ian Hughes
>tfw no trap guitar player gf to jam with
Colton Long
Youtube used to be full of these guys playing
Never showed their faces and they were all from Japan
I wonder why
Alexander Thompson
What do you think of Electras? I'm thinking about getting this.
Justin Cox
I love Shawn Lane
Could never understand how he did those legato runs at 2:00 and with arthritis
impossible
Ethan Hall
are the justinguitar courses a valid option for learning?

i never knew ehx were such weebs.
i need to buy one of their pedals right now.
Ryan Brooks
all pedal manufacturers are weebs
Ethan Phillips
Got a lot of money I'm sitting on right now, and I've been playing long enough to the point where I know exactly what I want in a guitar. I'm thinking of having a custom shop guitar made through Keisel/Carvin.
Anyone ever build their own guitars or do a custom one?
Angel Collins
The OP changed...
Blake Miller
I don't like the new one either.
Jace Hill
Anyone have the copypasta of the old OP?
John Perez
It's two or three threads back, follow the links in the OPs
