It's looking a lot better than yesterday. I think you should paint it though
Lincoln Diaz
Basswood can actually be pretty sometimes. That one piece almost looks like mahogany.
Nicholas Lopez
is that a hidden boomerang? great idea
Wyatt Lewis
Definitely, he can chuck it at assholes at shows.
Jackson Martinez
everyone who says play freebird needs to get boomeranged in the face
Lincoln Reyes
Anyone? It's an electric.
Jackson Watson
If the neck is "straight".
Ie. it's not bent like an S or anything like that. What kind of guitar is it?
Gabriel Mitchell
Action (is it comfortable to play) any buzzing frets, make sure all the pickup positions and knobs work.
Action can be adjusted (most of the time) but if a guitar has a really bowed neck it's usually a bad sign that it's been abused.
Carson Green
Thoughts on the Fender Deluxe Nashville Telecaster
Kayden Rivera
Are there any other band anime aside from BECK and K-ON?
Levi Roberts
This. Also make sure the output isn't fucked. It's not something that can't be fixed by you, but it's a pain in the ass to consistently deal with. Most of the time just tightening the bolts won't fix it permanently and you'll be better off replacing the whole jack.
Asher Miller
Detroit Metal City kinda
Dominic Collins
Ugly, no stock middle Tele position, cheap, Mexican.
Wyatt Ross
Middle tele position sucks. A Noiseless 2/4 stratlike setting is much more useful.
Oliver Harris
Hello /gg/, can you play up to the first repeat?
Record it.
Jonathan Johnson
>implying anyone here can read music
Liam Carter
It's a crappy guitar for a low price, but I don't want to get robbed either way.
The guitar is supposedly in mint condition. Buzzing frets can be fixed with a setup correct?
My current guitar has this issue and it's very frustrating. Thanks for reminding me to check that one out
Landon Parker
Probably not, imma tab it out (yeah fuck you I hate reading on sheet) and go to sleep.
Isaiah Gray
Why not have more pots to take care of the extra pup? Can the masses tolerate a control plate that differs from >muh tele ?
Jayden Lee
I'm going to buy it at a place where I can't take an amp. Will a preamp with headphones connected be enough to test all the stuff you guys mentioned, like knobs etc? Or am I taking too big a risk?
Isaac Nelson
Piano pieces really don't translate well to guitar.
David Watson
i can read the notes (e-d, d/c e g c g e c e g e/c g e e) but the rhythmic stuff is messing me up
:(
Daniel Ward
This is not a hard piece. It's also in C major so they should be a able to hammer out where the notes are in the first few minutes. You're going through an unnecessary extra step. In order to change it to tablature you'd be figuring out the locations of the notes in the first place. Can't wait to hear the rhythms.
Tyler Jones
They make newer improved models of electric guitars with comfortable contours already in them. I think they call them "anything but telecasters"
Joshua Ortiz
Yes. It should suffice.
A setup can fix -some- fret buzz but if there's a sever bow to the neck a setup won't be enough. It might be bad enough that you need to get a new neck altogether.
Chase Ward
>piano piece Some are fine, others I wouldn't touch.
This is a simple nocturne by Johann Kaspar Mertz, it was written for guitar.
James Wilson
>You're going through an unnecessary extra step. In order to change it to tablature you'd be figuring out the locations of the notes in the first place. It's not that hard once you know your fretboard. Every time I try to play directly from a sheet I end up messing up and playing the wrong notes.
Isaac Taylor
How do you know which notes to play on sheet music when there's several places on the guitar with the same note in the same octave? Do you just look for the comfiest nearest note to the last one you played?
Gabriel Allen
My mistake. I can't read sheet music for shit though.
Easton Sanders
Triplets on bottom, a smooth melody on top.
The end of the measures that have that 16th note in the melody is tricky due to the immediacy of it's entrance after the bottom voice ends it's phrase.
Josiah Rodriguez
Hey, an hero.
Record it.
Carson Ross
the only reason i can read it is because i played trumpet in school. reading the notes is easy, but i had problem with getting down note values and rests and all the rhythmic stuff. i basically had to listen to the rest of the group to "get it" and know what's going on
im just dumb tBh
Thomas Johnson
It's whatever is easiest or fit's the melody best. On thing classical guitarists will do sometimes is make the melody fit all on one string because the strings all have a different tone between themselves. Pretend like this particular piece is all in open position with A on the first string(5th fret) being your highest note.
Wyatt Parker
Yeah, the output jack on my Squire has that problem and I CANNOT FUCKING STAND IT.
My main problem is that I don't know what will really fix it permanently.
William Morgan
Not sure how I could post it though. I'm away from my computer. I'd record it as a voice memo, but vocaroo doesn't accept the kind of files produced.
Basically done with my board now. All I ever really felt like I needed was a tuner, an OD, a delay, and a reverb. It's simple, but I've never been one for having too many pedals. I don't know what it is, but I think it's that I really just don't like overwhelming myself with options and possibilities on a tonal level. My head gets too wrapped up in what could be, that I never actually get anything concrete.
Eli Smith
That's the best reverb I've ever heard. I want one now!
Colton Baker
I got the only one I could find on Reverb. It sounds great, and I like the little pipe smoking bear on it.
Alexander Garcia
Yeah the bear looks awesome.
Eli Sanders
>and I like the little pipe smoking bear on it. Spoken like a true guitarist
Carter Bennett
The tele control plate is one of the coolest things about it, that and the bridge plate
Michael Baker
Sometimes silly little shit like that is what tips the scales in something's favor for me. There's a sea of reverb pedals and what makes that one stand out to me is a pipe smoking bear with a beanie (it was also fairly cheap; $95). If I like how it sounds and I like how it looks, then I'm good.
Juan Jenkins
The bear/dog has a fucking zit that lights up in the middle of its forehead though.

For $65 is it still a good idea to get a Chickenbacker 360?

I'd hit it for $65. Will be a good modding platform.

The whole picture has him sporting a neckbeard and a fedora, right?
Jeremiah Johnson
My guess is the guy was being payed to play... I don't see any issue dressing up for a ren fair, Halloween, or other themed event.
Alexander Wood
Except he's posing for a picture with no cable in the fucking jack.
Probably some fucking cosplay con shite.
Bentley Ramirez
I ordered another bass, I really don't need it, I'm not a great bass player either, I just had the money and felt like it. Not sure whether that's okay or not.
Luis Morgan
Probably is one of those, but posing for pictures doesn't mean he didn't play. I mean, you can see why someone would ask to take a picture of that bass.
Parker Garcia
I'm not a big fan of instruments with retarded shit glued on top + bread board replacing the plastic guard.
It's macaroni art tier. It looks fucking retarded.
Angel Smith
Frankly, not really. I know a lot of people, young and old, who spend money too freely. It really doesn't do you any good, and to some degree you wind up with the same entertainment either way. People who spend more carefully tend to choose something they'll really like, and getting a new bass tends to diminish how much you like your other basses.
Oliver Gonzalez
>who spend money too freely I mean, I save up a few hundred bucks every single month and I have a few k saved up.
here's a rough quick sightreading of it. haven't broken out my classical in a while so excuse the multiple hesitations and timing mistakes
Tyler Parker
if i spend like 15-20 min on it i'm sure i can make it better, i haven't read music in a while so essentially sightreading it was pretty hard. damn i should get back into classical guitar, shit's fun
Nolan Clark
thinking of getting a Marshall DSL40C should I?
Eli Powell
Its a good amp. I have no idea if fits what style of music you play though. If you dont need 40 watts then go for the dsl15
Anthony Nelson
Hey m8s, I just recorded this shit. Mind giving me some feedback?
Keep in mind that vocaroo lowers the quality of the MP3 when you upload it.
Jacob Price
mostly play indie rock, emo, and noise rock I'll probably get the dsl15 since I don't gig or anything
Nicholas Young
Worship rock/10.
Playing isn't bad, but it's not particularly interesting. The bass is outright shite.
Christian Lee
nice. pokemon music is goat. what kind of feedback were you looking for specifically?
Josiah Allen
m8 have you never played pokemon
Noah Edwards
Barely, too old for the original craze.
Jaxon Adams
>mfw S-sorry I just started playing bass a couple of months ago... Hopefully less experienced people won't notice.
I'm making a video for my youtube channel. I've made a couple vidya songs before but I'm still new to recording >[Insecurity intensifies] I just wanted like a green flag to upload or not.
Anthony Cox
Try playing the bass an octave lower for starters, then improvise some more on the guitar lines, throw in some trills, some more bending etc.
Make it yours, don't play it like you're playing guitar hero.
Eli Harris
I think the problem is that my right hand isn't used to the strings, since I always use picks when I'm playing guitar. I get blisters if I play that shit for too long.
>don't play it like you're playing guitar hero I wasn't trying to do that, I was just playing as I listened to the song over and over again. I can't read for shit so I just learn everything by ear.
Owen Collins
The problem is you're playing the bass as if you were playing a guitar, not with picks, but too high to fill in the bottom of the song. Just try playing along to it one octave lower and see if you understand what I mean. Bass is in the rhythm section, not the lead.
The guitar hero bit isn't meant literally. It meant you're playing stiff and exactly what you heard. You have to improvise a bit.
