Really, OP? it's almost as if you want us to call you a faggot
Camden Gutierrez
Anyone here done classical stuff with a steel string? It's all I've got right now and I don't like playing with a pick. Should I stick to folk?
Josiah Edwards
Nice, how are you liking it? I like gretsch's.
Mason Baker
...
Ryder Collins
its a good guitar, the tone is very nice and it looks good too
Alexander Ortiz
Do it, faggot.
Henry Butler
I think there's some benefit to learning on a guitar with a higher action at first. Helps build up hand strength quicker, and any other guitar will immediately feel easier to play.
I have no idea what you're talking about. I did learn to play on a shitty acoustic with really high action though. I had no idea until I finally picked up another guitar.
Isaiah Hill
Buy more gear.
Brody Thompson
>Just get a piezo bridge This.
Brayden Rivera
I think Turner Model Ones are like that kinda
(The Lindsey Buckingham guitar)
Angel Smith
it really wasn't.. that was the whole point

Are P-90s fine for occasional downtuned meddling?
I want jangly/chimey on my Les Paul for indie shit, but still fuck around with heavy tones every now and then.
Adrian Jackson
Greg Anderson BWWWWWOOOOOOOMMMMs with p90s.
Asher Lewis
the fuck is this?
Parker Lewis
>Are P-90s fine for occasional downtuned meddling?
Luis Morgan
just get a coil splitter
Isaac Scott
i liked the sound off it or maybe i liked Pat's
Josiah Bennett
not really...maybe for sludgey stuff they get pretty muddy with lots of gain sound really good clean and slightly overdriven
they are not really chimey though, they have heavy mids and less treble and bass with a slow attack, jangley guitars usually have pickups that are pretty scooped or have strong upper mids and highs with a strong attack
Justin Jenkins
Looks uncomfortable to use an ordinary pick like that. Usually you use a thumb pick so your index finger is free.
Gavin Phillips
Waste of money. Just get a ukulele if you want something small and portable.
David Martinez
Burns Steer
I think they were made in the 60s, they have reissues
really weird
Jack Robinson
Welp. Just pulled the trigger on a P90. They're from GFS so they're cheap tho. I'll give them a whirl, if I don't like them I'll purchase some sort of PAF.
I currently have a Custom 5 which is scooped and gets muddy with distortion. I just needed something with lower output for better cleans and less mud when running distortion pedals. They should be fine for memegaze, at least until I get a Mememaster.
Noah Ross
we know you told us
Samuel Foster
Why do people even bother learning to pick fast when you can just legato everything like a real pro.
Dylan Gutierrez
Because it doesn't sound the same. I also play all my fast parts legato because I'm too lazy to learn proper alternate-picked shred
Mason Roberts
youtu.be/UyA93RbBndM What's he doing at 5:03? Hybrid picking? Someone explain pls it sounds so cool
Lucas Wilson
Sounds like he's barring the 12th fret on the b and e strings. Picking the b string with his pick at 12 while going up and going up and down the e string picking with his finger & using hammers offs
Ian Adams
Oh alright thanks dude :)
Aaron Lewis

Jace Thomas
Ahh the tone tape
Isaac Wilson
you didnt put the trademark symbol
Chase Thomas
this will seem like a stupid question, but i don't know how else to pose it
i've been playing over a year, taking lessons too i play both classic and fingerstyle/folk music
i bought an electric couple weeks ago, and I don't know how to play it. do i need to learn some classic rock songs or something? i know this seems stupid, but its just that it feels like the playing styles i've been learning are incompatible with this. i know guys like chet atkins fingerpicked on electrics and all, but it isn't the same to me, and i can't have a good time because i just can't play anything
I have but I was told to play on nylon to get a better result.
not bad, what is it?
Liam Barnes
I laugh everytime
Grayson Cook
>what is it? Aerosmith-dream on
Connor Gonzalez
thanks f a m
Jonathan Sanchez
You're not me. Are you trying to meme on me? It doesn't even sound like that It's just something I made up
Jacob Long
why the fuck are the MIM fenders $600 now
shit used to be like $380 and that's what they're actually worth imo
Brandon Nelson
Just wait til Trump repeals NAFTA, Fender might actually go out of business....I imagine their MIM models are a huge portion of their total profits.
Carter Thompson
neat
Chase Allen
>thinking (((they'll))) repeal NAFTA >thinking trump will accomplish anything but hotel deals while pence runs the show like any normal republican would
Christopher Foster
No they weren't
I remember my friend got a new MIM Strat back in the mid 90s (when they first started making them there) and he paid over 500 for it.
I bought a USED epiphone MIK Les Paul for 400 back then.
Xavier Hill
You're fucking retarded they were $370 for solid color and $400 for sunburst between 2005 and 2009.
Tyler Foster
The MIM Fenders have always been excellent guitars. About the same or slightly better than MIK stuff.
Guitar quality has gone up with decrease in relative price.
Ethan Diaz
Show me where they sold MIM Fenders for $370
Made in Indonesia and Vietnam ones were that low, MIM have always been Fenders line to compete with MIK stuff from other manufacturers.
Parker Gutierrez
Are you fucking underaged this was literally the price for them everywhere for all of last decade
Leo Howard
I'm a newbie and recently started learning about maybe 2 months ago now. I used to play a bit every night, but then I started practicing less. I was away from home for one week recently and came back but had no real desire to practice. How do you guys keep motivated?
Henry Gomez
Remind myself there are 13 year olds who play better than me
Ian Reyes
show me
Ian Barnes
Just keep listening to your favourite tunes. Even if they are insanely hard or plain simple. Just listen to whatever makes you want to play in the first place
Noah Johnson
That's some Tenacious D looking shit
William Gonzalez
What memes did you fall for when you first started playing?
>fell for the "buy a metal guitar like a Jackson or Ibanez" meme >fell for the "only consider Marshall amps even at the $200 range" meme >fell for the "just learn tabs, not chords or musical notation" meme
Easton Nguyen
I think that if I don't push the limits then I'll never change the history of music in my own way. I think about Charlie Christian inventing a whole new language for the guitar, having a career, and dying at age 25. (or Hendrix doing the same and dying at 27).
I figure if they can do that at such a young age, I can at least make my own mark in the history of guitar music (as small as it may be)
Michael Gonzalez
Why do ibanez and jackson get recommended so much?
Michael Lewis
Meme on Meme on Meme on Meme til the memos come true
Jackson Jackson
>only use ernie ball strings Thank god that only lasted for two string changes
Carson Garcia
Ibanez is a pretty solid company. You get a better guitar at a lower price point compared to some other companies. They make more than metal guitars, they make good semi hollows and great basses. I just bought an sr505 and it's so versatile I can't believe it, plays like butter too.
Their sub $200 stuff is pretty awful though, and they made meme machines more accessible, but nobody is perfect.
Logan Sanchez
I don't know but for someone like me that played only squiers and epiphones my whole life when I played my friends jackson it was like night and day. it was just so playable and lightweight, not like a damn ships anchor weighing me down, it had really good strings on it too, them things would bend like crazy.
Angel Ramirez
>not ESP LTD
Mason Cruz
Might trade my Shechter for one of these babies. Would I be kicking myself in the ass if I did?
Joshua Kelly
anyone had experience with Joyo pedals?
William Lee
Why do Japanese noise rock musicians almost exclusively use Gibson SGs?
Ian Long
Hipster bullshit guitar for hipster bullshit music
Jose Diaz
No, that's a great trade. Especially if you can find someone that is actually willing to accept a Schecter for a Gibson SG standard lol
Anthony Howard
>trade it in for an SG >instantly gain an insane amount of sellback value
Jeremiah Reed
>wanting to own a nu-male guitar
Zachary Flores
yeah, i totally mentioned the sellback value because i wanted him to keep it
jesus you fucking mong
Andrew Scott
It's the principle of the thing.
Levi Powell
>I still use ernie's on mine except my acoustic, which I have copper D'Addarios
Ryan Perry
They play fine but they rust too quickly. Breaks in about 1-2 months too. Maybe it's just because my country is humid as hell
Asher Campbell
i live in australia and had ernies on a guitar for a year. they were rusted to fuck but still played fine. Use D'Addarios now though
Eli Cox
>not having 5A wood
Connor Garcia
>jet city >bugera
Benjamin Adams
>tfw only have 4A maple top
Isaiah Russell
throw it in the trash. Your tone is going to be shit.
Unless you play shoegaze, tone doesn't matter.
Leo Parker
Thanks, friend!
I'll start saving again
Zachary Wood
Literally why does anyone buy a jackson or ibanez. I've never met a metal song an SG couldn't stand up to PLUS it has beautiful clean tones to boot.
John Bell
What's the best simulated amp for guitar (and maybe bass)? And wtf is the difference between BIAS FX and BIAS Amp?
