I play anime songs in fingerstyle arrangements. It's really fun. :o)
foodswitches loog lige benis :DDDD
Easton Brooks
Well, you may be a disgusting weeb, but at least fingerstyle takes some actual ability so points to you there
Whichever comes more naturally to you. I hate using a pick when I play bass, feels unnatural to me, but if you're used to pickstyle I don't think there's any objective difference in how difficult one would be vs the other during vocal accompaniment
Jackson Ross
MIM or MIA? New or used?
Ayden Price
Pls rate this solo i did to Free's Fire and Water, tried to follow the original one. Hows it going? Bending, phrasing and overall? a.clyp.it/0dpgaqzh.mp3
Dominic Moore
Sounds a little flat here but I think it might just be the production (or lack thereof). Would sound good live
Cameron Garcia
I got a few answers last thread so I'll see if anyone has anything else to say.
>Lads, I'm in the market for a compressor. >Price isn't too big a factor, although I don't want to spend more money than is necessary.
>I've been looking at a few different pedals online but in most demos they're being used pretty subtly which is not what I want. When I turn on the pedal I want the compression to be noticeable.
>I use chorus pretty heavily so I want the compressor to be able to be able to complement that effect. I also want to achieve a real jangly, chiming rhythm tone which I'm aware the janglebox is good for but I also want to be able to really squash my tone to get that cheesy 80s sound.
>Any ideas on which pedals can achieve this would be appreciated.
Camden Campbell
Same as below, a little flat here and there, but seems fine to me. I'm not familiar with the song/band/guitarist to talk about accuracy though.
Playing is fine. Work on playing to pitch though.
Austin Jenkins
The store did not specify unfortunately, all I know was that its Red, has 1 pickup (though to be honest I forget exactly) and no online retailers have it in this color or condition so I'm wondering if whether or not its just a MIM fretless that for whatever reason was colored red
Colton Garcia
You mean the bending or all of it? Its tuned half step down
Matthew Scott
Bending was fine, just the expressiveness in general. But I do think it was probably just the production, the tone doesn't really sing in a way that makes it sound compelling.
Xavier Diaz
sounds sketch af for $500
Pass until you get more info/see it for yourself.
Take someone who knows their shit with you to verify the condition.
Jaxon Carter
Cali76. Only compressor you will ever need.
Nathan Diaz
>sounds sketch jfc kys
Camden Lopez
Are you having problems, user?
Jack Morris
Thanks. What does that one offer that makes it in your opinion a good choice?
Daniel Russell
I have tried every compressor I could get my hands on. The Cali76 was the only one that worked with whatever genre, type of music, or guitar and amp I threw at it. It sounded best out of every compressor I had at that point in time, I had almost every one in your pic but three. It is a great compressor for anything.
Matthew Thomas
why so much fuss over compressors? do you really have an ear for it? they just squash the volumes, make low sounds louder and limit the loudest sounds
William Bennett
Money not being a factor, I'd get the Keeley.
Though to be honest, I'd get as part of this guy instead.
>Can't wait for the mockery to ensue.
James Nguyen
There is a standard MIM for the same price there aswell though, and when I tried it out it wasn't too bad playing, are standard MIMs usually good?
Aaron Williams
Standard MIMs are usually fine.
Adrian Baker
people are looking for an excuse to waste their money when they know a basic boss pedal will do the job
Camden Kelly
hey Could you explain this
>The Cali76 was the only one that worked with whatever genre, type of music, or guitar and amp I threw at it. It sounded best out of every compressor I had at that point in time, I had almost every one in your pic but three. It is a great compressor for anything.
For
Liam Green
Any compressor pedal will act as a compressor. Any pedal will not be the same as the other in sound or effect.
I bet you hate apples too, poorfag.
Austin Cook
>I don't own a compressor but I am clearly an expert and you should respect my opinion about them
Asher Russell
If you can't hear the difference between a high-end comp and shitty cheap ones then you're playing the wrong game.
Gabriel Morris
fuck you dude
Zachary Nguyen
>t. deaf person
Benjamin Davis
>why so much fuss over compressors? In the work in recording I do, it's very important for noise reduction and adds a certain sound I need for the music I play. I do use a noise gate aswell, but it doesn't take away the amount I need it to. The average boss compressors just don't give me the tonal versatility the Cali 76 gives.
Adrian Ramirez
Compressors are a meme, like tonewoods and DI boxes
Isaac Garcia
>compressors reduce noise now I've heard everything
Jack Wilson
how does a compressor affect TONE?
how can they work better or worse for different styles of music just like guitars and amps?
the difference between pedals is just being able to cut noise level better?
what you use it for besides increasing sustain and evening (pun lol) the dynamics?
Bass needs compression more than a guitar does, you idjit.
Nolan Allen
theyre a must for me cause im mostly a guitarist and i need a maxed compressor to sound half decent
John White
Maybe you should work on your fundamentals so you don't depend on a compressor?
Andrew Rogers
Boss pedals are shit and so is your post
Leo Collins
Vintage Boss pedals are actually pretty great depending on what you get, like But they're still cheap and modern high-end comps/whatever will always be infinitely better.
Ian Morgan
Simply put, the BOSS DS-1 distortion pedal is a modern classic. For the better part of 30 years, you've heard this orange box put through its paces on countless top rock recordings - from Kurt Cobain's "Nevermind"-era grunge to the renowned distorted tones of Steve Vai. The DS-1 is affordable, it's incredible sounding, and it's a rock pedalboard staple - the perfect first distortion stompbox and one that may well be your last. Whether you pair it with your guitar's single-coil or humbucking pickups, expect rich, dynamic-laden tone with the BOSS DS-1.
Nah, people just think every Boss pedal is a DS-1 or an MT-2.
Anthony Hernandez
They're fine, but there are certainly much better options out there for not a lot more money. I think that's what people are really trying to convey. 4channers just love talking in absolutes/extremes.
Do you know how to improvise? How to develop a theme and build varaitions of it, on it?
Do you know how to write a song?
A solo is basically a small "song" or a whole piece that you stick in a middle of a song. At sometimes three times the tempo. You have to be good at improvising, or atleast developing themes or writing coherent music to write a good solo.
David Myers
There doesn't seem to be a theory/compo thread up right now so I'll try to ask here: How do I resolve (not sure if that's the right word) a progression like ii-IV-vi-V? I mean, what kind of chord would I want to end that with?
Colton Foster
hate how modern finishes can never have that worn look like what happened to Rory Gallaghers and SRV's strats
Joshua James
They can if you buy a guitar with a nitrocellulose finish
Don't know why people want that anyways / "Worn in" guitars with dents feel like shit
Jason Fisher
the worn in look is nice though and didn't they stop doing nitro finishes
Aaron Torres
Doesn't that kind of resolve itself ? Or I'm misunderstanding your question.
that's only the case for poly finishes, oiled wood does wear. I think it looks better too.
Jaxson Allen
You're lamenting the fact that modern guitars are superior products, you know how bizarre that is right?
Joseph Perez
Nope fender even has some MIM models with nitro finishes now
Alexander Davis
fuck that's nice i can feel the smoothness of that fretboard just from looking at it.
Brandon Scott
Hey you seem to know the shit
Is my soloing coherent and with a "theme"?
The only thing close to a theme that i think i did is repeating a couple patterns on the separate solos.
>go away cause threads are fucked >come back hoping it got better >it's even more fucked How long until these threads are inhabited EXCLUSIVELY by anime shits/ERG faggots/overprocessed djent metal/math-whatever smegma lickers/le classic eguitarist (Satriani, Vai etc.) homolovers/ibanez wielding anal rapees/all of the mentioned? Does anyone have ANY taste here? At all? Classical? Bebop? Krautrock? Anything?
Benjamin Torres
Sorry, just gonna say this: 1. If you've been playing for more than 2 years, that's embarrassing. 2. If that's not improvised, it's embarrassing. Otherwise, whatever, just keep getting better.
