And I chose a fucking terrible image, too.
I'm sorry user.

nothing personal kid

reposting from last thread I didn't realize it was close to bump limit

what does /gg/ think about Epiphone Les Paul LQs? made in Japan and have a lacquer finish and a Gibson style open book headstock. I'm thinking about buying this one
ebay.com/itm/Epiphone-LQ-Les-Paul-Standard-MIJ-Made-in-Japan-Fujigen-Japan-Gibson-/172395802134?hash=item2823972e16:g:k88AAOSwNuxXZW31
any opinions?

Excited about this. When will they hit the market?

>Epiphone
Waste of a perfectly good chunk of korina

ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR3.TRC1.A0.H0.Xkorina epiphone.TRS0&_nkw=korina epiphone&_sacat=0
yeah Epiphone does this every few years. all the ones I've ever played were shit though

How do you guys fill the sonic range in guitar-drum jam situations? It's hard to be melodic when you have to lay down chords or some implied progression with a bass note.

like 6+ years ago?
youtube.com/watch?v=4UNHlyXwWiE

Well yeah, but its one piece construction body this time, and the korina isnt just veneer like before.

you find a bassist.

(You)

how autistic is this

Needing opinion
I play soundscapes
Looking to buy a fret-less bass, or a baritone guitar
Which one of these should I buy?

very

Does it sound good? Is it comfy to play?

A fretless alto bass

where do you find such a thing

guitar center?

You could find a pretty decent gibson for that price, although the gibson epi frankenstein look is pretty cool. I can't help but think people will assume you just cut the headstock to fool people into thinking youve got a real gibson though.

>mfw tenor basses are really a thing and are also really cute

i dont know i just found the picture

i think it looks uncomfortable to play myself

I said this last thread but the LQs have a long tenon neck joint like you can only find on $5000 historic Gibsons. I was just wondering if anyone here ever played one before and what they thought about them

Fug, wanted to post this one instead

I haven't played an LQ but I have played a couple of Orvilles and they were consistently very good

whats this called when a bar holds down the strings, and the nut just separates them and theyre actually resting on the first fret just after the nut?
what're some guitars that use it?

zero fret

you mean the string tree and the zero fret?

are you the same guy from the last thread who said the F on the headstock was for Fujigen factory? he said it was the same factory as Greco, and Orville by Gibson. is that as good as it gets as far as Japan guitars are concerned? or is there a factory famous for being even better?

Epiphone basses sound better than Gibson's

>teach me how to play guitar user
mfw nobody in /gg/ has ever experienced this situation and they never will. kys losers

what?

>are you the same guy from the last thread
no
> the same factory as Greco, and Orville by Gibson
yes, the Orville name was discontinued and replaced with Epiphone

most of the so called "Lawsuit Guitars" were made by FujiGen and Matsumoku

>mfw I remember that guy who asked if anybody in /gg/ had a girlfriend
>and no one did

I taught her 3 chords and got 3 fingers in her pussy

>most of the so called "Lawsuit Guitars" were made by FujiGen and Matsumoku
good to know thanks. do you know if there is a higher quality factory in Japan I should be looking for?

This and they were very good, to the point that they're expensive as fuck nowadays when they useed to be a cheap alternative to Gibsons. Fujigen also made jap fenders for a while iirc
Tried teaching this girl in highschool. Thought she wanted to fuck but she actually wanted to learn, but was completely incompetent so I stopped trying to help her.

Women are merely a distraction from guitar, user.

>broke up with girlfriend
>spend the money i spent on her on guitar shit instead

...

>never had a girlfriend
>kissless virgin
>spend all my money on guitar shit, going to gigs and getting shitfaced
you'd think i could meet girls going out as much as i do

Please help me, /gg/
I have an audition in two days and I'm just absolutely fucking clueless about what I'm supposed to do for this.
They want me to improvise over it, and I just don't know which scales I'm to use over everything. I was thinking about just arpeggios over it, but that'll obviously get boring. What do you guys recommend?

>higher quality factory in Japan
not that I know of (though I'm by no means an expert)
Tokai and Dyna Gakki also make good guitars (both made guitars for Fender Japan which has been consistently good over the years)

god I want an aerodyne strat so bad

I have a Epiphone Japan Les Paul Custom
Quality is great

How the fuck do I play an F chord and also manage to transition afterwards

what about the tele?

how would you compare it to a Korea or China Epiphone?

the alphabet isnt music

not so keen on em for whatever reason
the jbass though...

wait a minute
wasn't this same aerodyne strat sold on reverb maybe a month or two ago
i remember really wanting to bid on it, it was ~600something euros and located in russia
wish i bought it ;_;

not him but
>japan
>korea
>china

if those are the choices I wouldn't waste my time looking at Korean or Chinese


Japan>>>>>>>>Korea>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>China

dunno
it was just a decent pic i googled awhile ago

so you like that 1st gen look, without the pickguard

holy moly that looks nice. Would buy that in an instant if I found a decent deal.

with Les Pauls that seems to be it though. America Japan Korea and China

yes I do, it just looks so slick without the pickguard
and yeah reverse image searching showed that it was the same guitar i wanted to buy, what a coincidence
i think the only downside is the basswood body, i don't like light body woods

define decent
they're only $800 new

that's a lot for some people, user

Practice more

(I'm not fucking with you, this is the real answer)

Literally just search blues lick lesson on youtube and memorize them for different keys. Switch them around.

they may be light but they're really alive

true enough i guess
i got mine back in '05 when they were $530

They used to be a lot cheaper back when I started playing.

>P+J pu combo

disgusting

>P+J pu combo
works pretty well

I figured most anons would complain about the lack of fret markers

t-thats a nice pic user

>buys a fender instead of a g&l
>buys a gibson instead of a PRS

you had to ruin in with the prs shit

>PRS

Honest question, what do people dislike about PRS guitars? Are they just not a good deal for the price point? I'm fairly new to guitars so I've never had a chance to play one, but I mostly hear good things about them.

I don't really feel strongly either way apart from not liking the birds.

Maybe I'm just a faggot but I always thought the birds looked comfy.

>inb4 "maybe"

>PRS
>bad
Is this a meme I am not aware off? I personally think they are comfy as hell to play, and their sound is pretty decent for the price.

revolutionary guitars

I own a PRS and I love this meme

we know you tell us all the time

no that was the other guy, the one with the pokemon cards
I'm not him

...

>blues/rock fingerstyle
feels nice to be the part of the great tier

You can literally just play any notes off the Bflat blues scale for the entire time and it will sound O.K/passable if not "decent." You'll lack any depth, but I'd imagine if your improv audition piece is a 12 bar blues they just want to see if you know what music is. (Blues scale is 1, flat 3, 4, flat 5, 5, flat 7 BTW).

damn rom-rom you even had the same filename as when I posted it

Just bought my first few pedals

I'm having trouble with my analog delay where if I set repeat up high it starts to fade but then the delay becomes distorted and comes back louder and louder.

Any help would be appreciated

(pic related is most of my gear)

So I've been playing for awhile now and I'm fairly technically competent but I know next to no scales, chord names, ect. What are some good online sources to help learn these types of things specifically

Post a clyp.

damn bro is that uke

tfw band is doing really good and were starting to gain a bit of traction in our area but tensions are high because of band members arguing about stupid shit.

I should probably just start working on my own stuff incase shit hits the fan.

clyp.it/xgpkepqb

I don't know if it's just because it's a cheap pedal or what.

You have to turn down the amount of repeats. You're getting into infinite feedback which can be cool, but also does that if you're not expecting it.

ok yeah i noticed it goes away when repeats are turned down i just didnt think infinite repeats would cause the signal to get louder and louder

Tension is normal but it shouldn't derail you. Do you have a bandleader? If you don't, someone needs to step up--there always has to be someone who can be the jerk and keep everyone in line. It's not fun but it's necessary and keeps things together.

It happens for all analog delays. You can see it here being manipulated for a neat noise.

youtu.be/xJPde-C28iU?t=22

cool man thanks for the info

google.com/

never heard of it

What strings would you guys recommend for a GS mini steel string acoustic? I currently have the stock ones on but am well overdue for a string change

It's normal. Best thing is to try and sit everyone down and sort it out. If your band doesn't really have a leader (i.e. someone who spearheads the big decisions) try and take that position. In the end it's normal. Happens a lot when you see the same people day in and day out, you end up hating the little quirks and flaws in people.

Would the Seagull S6 be a good guitar to relearn how to play the guitar on?
