O I am laffin
Mason Cook
Should I get a Squier Jazzmaster? I have looked up a little bit about it, and played it recently in store and loved it. I am also new guitar so want to get more feedback before I purchase.

How you make a crowning file from wood or whatever? An user mentioned you could do it, was wondering how..

Austin Brooks
Anyone use a bass wah with a guitar? Pros/cons?
Cooper Wright
Anyone care to comment on my technique? I'm some 3-4 months into playing.
My left hand bothers me the most, it both looks and feels retardedly strained, but that's the only way I can fully fret the strings. If I try to keep it more relaxed or in a more natural position without nearly breaking my wrist I can't press the strings all the way down. When watching technique videos it baffles me how the fuck do pro players make it look like they just effortlessly barely touch the strings.
I rather fix this before the bad habit settles in or I fuck my hand up, but anything I tried so far didn't work. And I know my picking is shit too, but I think that's easier to fix and less critical at this stage.
Thanks. And have a cookie if you recognize the song.
Aaron Brooks
webms dont have sound on this board
Eli Wood
Sound is irrelevant to the question here.
Hudson Reyes
You don't have to press the exact tip of the finger on the string to get a sound out. Just practice playing single notes up and down the fretboard to build the muscles in your hands.
Angel Foster
you're sucking your arm/elbow into your body
raise your strap so it's a bit tighter and the neck is raised up more.
you've only been playing for 3-4 months so you're muscles aren't really fully build up yet, but from what i can see you're mostly off to a good start
i think you're main problem is you're crimping off your wrist too much and there's too much pressure on it. go look at classical players and pay attention to how their arm and wrist is positioned
Austin Long
Come on dude, you'll get much better help if we can hear you too. For one though, fix your arm like user said, but also, try to get out of your hunch. Try to sit with a straighter back. Aside, again like user said, it /looks/ like you're playing especially decently given the timeframe, which is good, but I'd rather trust my ears than my eyes.
Aiden Roberts
>how the fuck do pro players make it look like they just effortlessly barely touch the strings
That'll come naturally once you've built up enough hand strength and have the muscle memory to move up and down the fretboard without thinking about it. When you're just starting out you almost have to press down on the strings as hard as you possibly can, which makes your hand look strained. I wouldn't worry so much about how your hands look, just focus on hitting the right notes.
William Sanchez
>. When you're just starting out you almost have to press down on the strings as hard as you possibly can, which makes your hand look strained.
the problem with this is if he keeps crimping/bending off his wrist like that+pushing down hard on the strings like most beginners do, he may end up with carpal tunnel
Ayden Perry
/gg/, has this guy changed it up for the guitar game?
Carter Gomez
No.
>djent >shred >cinematic interlude >random genre-change interlude >djent some more >shred some more
It's a pretty standard formula. His shred is just quicker than most people's
Dominic Murphy
when will the djent meme end i cant deal with it anymore

>You don't have to press the exact tip of the finger on the string to get a sound out. I don't actually, though I've been trying to. Most of the time I end up pressing down with the, uh, fingerprint area of my finger, which also causes a lot of slipping and muting of nearby strings.
That's actually helpful, thanks lads.
>When you're just starting out you almost have to press down on the strings as hard as you possibly can Yeah, pretty much.
Fair enough, I'll record something tomorrow. Is there something like clyp for videos? I don't have a yt account and won't bother making one for that.
Wyatt Harris
Anyone buy used Amplifiers? Specifically online? I don't know shit about amplifiers and have been using combo Orange and cheap Fenders for years but i'm considering getting a used Twin Reverb or maybe JCM 2000? Should I ever buy a used amplifier online or should I check the local dealers?
Connor Smith
Thoughts on the Tribucker?
Christopher Hernandez
always check local before buying online.
Cooper Cruz
>I just fell for the meme this picks are fucking awfull i had to makes small cuts in it because 0 grab
Nathan Clark
John mclaughlin play live without amp what can you say about that?

Yamaha did it better. I do like the sound of them though.
William Green

How fucking sweaty are your ape paws, user?
Kevin Collins

Why did Jazzmasters outmeme Jaguars?
I feel like Jazzmasters are more sought after than Jags
Aiden Jackson
Jags are for people with baby hands and Jazzmasters are long scale
Nathan Evans
don't most hipsters have baby hands
Colton Thomas
Best overdrive pedal for good tone through a 2x12 solid state fender amp? Can spend up to $200.
I'd just buy a tube amp again but budget and shit.
Jaxon Williams
M8 they're the only pick I'll use

Whats a good, inexpensive gig bag that provides sufficient enough protection against bumps to transport my 655 around school?
I'm not autistic enough to carry a hardcase around.
Juan Campbell
Just get fender medium
Jose Howard
too flimsy
Gavin Hill
it's thin as fuck. 1.35mm masterrace here
Levi Ward
What type of music u usually play - 0.6 for blues rock?
Sebastian Nelson
get a mono meme bag. they're actually pretty nice. I much prefer gig bags to hard cases any way.
Camden Ramirez
just strap it around your neck and strum some chords while you walk to classes, you'll get a lot of girls and look cool >I'm not autistic enough to carry a hardcase around. sure thing
Lincoln Mitchell
>tfw in high school I carried around a tweed guitar case every day to every class.

may i ask how much vagina was thrown at you due to this tweed guitar case?
Ian Adams
Guys pls halp me
Does guitar ease depression for u? What if youre too depressed to play
Benjamin Hughes
Exactly. Mostly blues rock shit and country. If I switch it up and go to metal I play a heavier pick along with heavier gauge strings.
Jackson Morgan
I hope you're kidding
Austin Wright
Mono is extremely expensive though, I'm looking for something cheaper.
Charles Kelly
Kek , jazz fag
Jack Murphy
used to help, doesn't anymore. the only time where it does help at this point is when i'm playing with other people. practicing by myself just bores the shit out of me
Brody Ward
guitar helps depression in the long term in that it gives you a way of progressing on something when everything else in your life is stagnant
Juan Hughes
yeah, it does
Gabriel Scott
Literally zero. I was also that dude in high school that would never get a haircut and just roll out of bed and go to school giving zero fucks about how I looked for maximum grunge vibe.
Shocker, right?
Jayden Mitchell
Why - isnt it .5-.6mm ?
Charles Gonzalez
>tfw stagnant on guitar
Kevin Hughes
i was expecting at least 2.5 vaginas thrown at you
Asher Parker
>yfw I went to school two hours early every day to practice with the school jazz band >yfw I brought a metal zone one day and played all my parts with it just for keks
Caleb Collins
But thats a great way to live. Those guys still get gf's if their band has followers
Mason Gutierrez
Tru
Jose Scott
Literally the shittiest picks money can buy. Chip and wear faster than anything
Caleb Green
Thats a great way to get gud. I wish i did jazz guitar in high school
Juan Gomez
If you like it sure, you could do worse but look into upgrading the bridge after you get it.
Liam Nguyen
Power through
Matthew Lee
Late to the party, but if your hand starts getting tired, take a little break. Don't "play through it" because you could fuck yourself up. Think of like short sets of heavy lifting with rests between sets to build muscle. When you build enough, get to endurance.
Benjamin Kelly
I tried to learn as many primus songs as i could because i was into them. then i looked up scales. then i got into music theory. probably skipped a few steps. tried to write my own music during all of this and never gave up.
Ryder Jackson

Pawn shops. Sometimes they don't know exaxtly what they have so you can get a deal. There will probably be starter pack amps with 6" speakers, and shit rich kids made their parents buy them thinking it will make them good.
Matthew Smith
Gee maybe she was actually busy
Cooper Price
the 2000's were an awkward time
Jackson Ortiz
doubt it, she said she can't stand sitting through movies when i asked if she wanted to see a movie friday afternoon, and then she said she doesn't know her schedule and might be busy when i asked if she wanted to do something else. then i asked if she wanted me to drive over to her dorm and watch netflix and chill and she said her roommate was in the room when she could've just kicked her out
Tyler Hernandez
I use those picks. That, or the 1mm. For like 12 years. Try the gator grip?
Isaac Cook
I've never learned to play an instrument but want to pick up bass guitar
good or bad idea?
Nicholas Jones
Fender heavy and Dunlop 2mm gator grips for me.
James Stewart
This 100%. Every style of fender picks sucks balls.
Nolan Nelson
Pretty much the best one to pick. All you do is play single notes, no silly chords to worry about and only 4 strings
Christian Martin
Are 24.75 scale guitars comfortable? i've tried jaguars and they don't lend themselves well for my long fingers
Nathaniel Hughes
Anyone have any suggestions?
Jonathan Wood
how"d you guys start out?
Owen Young
i started guitar with internet resources but i don't know about bass, guess it's pretty much the same, if you have the money and the will you can look for lessons in your town.
