There is no reason to ever upgrade from a squire

>I'm actually very intelligent

What is your opinion about scalloped fret boards?

Very nice
I like it
(y)

Who here has actually read the books above?

There's no reason to buy Gibson guitars

Belongs in here

What do you have against Gibson?

I want to learn Son guitar, how should I go about doing this?

There's no reason to play guitar

>Superstrat Is Best Strat Edition

That's wrong, this is actually the Designated Shitposting Edition

Only if its scalloped like Blackmore's guitar

They don't do anything that other brands can't do better and cheaper

Sadly he passed away last year so yeah they had to replace him.

Sorry user. At least he didn't live to see Roundabout become a fucking meme.

by Son I mean the music genre played in Cuba, however anything similar is fine too

please excuse my English

>he doesn't want to upgrade from being a squire to being a knight
Where is your honor?

Are you cuban? Do you know this music well?

I'd say "name this "crazyaga gigging in his home"" but everyone knows tripfags can't play

Guitars brings you joy.

Comparing guitars with other musical instruments, they are both polyphonic and incredibly expressive. i mean, if you look at piano, it's polyphonic but not as expressive as a guitar. if you look at a violin, it's very expressive but sucks at polyphony. a guitar in the other hand, excels at both categories

That's a trash can, not a litter box

I played to someone from /gg/ at the discord group yesterday. he called himself "Pete".

His response to me playing was "Well done, you are good"

No

Same as with any style

1. Listen to people play the style you like
2. Find transcriptions
3. Learn the songs
4. Get comfortable with the techniques
5. Mimic the style
6. If you get good enough, the mimicry becomes originality

pete is a weird name for a jew

You are being incredibly silly right now user.

Pete says that to everybody. Good ol' Pete

Petes a really nice guy, he'll say whatever he needs to when he wants to motivate players to get good.

>Japo strat like sting thing

Make America Great Again

thoughts?

I'm curious, it seems interesting, but the price is offputting for something so niche.
Local shop is fucking stupid so I'll probably never be able to try it out in person.

I found a deal for $79.99 (CAD) which is why im curious. Normally goes for $200+

im guessing its worth it regardless as I can resell it for higher later, but just wanted to know if anyone has had experience with it

it seems pretty gay

I don't get the appeal of it when you can just get a DD-7 and get more shit than you'll ever need in one pedal

at this price I'd jump on it personally.

It's not exactly a delay so much imo, and from what I gather it seems more focused on modulation and "ambiance" rather than being just a pure delay like the DD7. Plus the prices of each are rather similar, at least where I live.

I've read through some of the Hal Leonard bass one.

Got this 1984 Tokai Breezysound (TTE50?) about a month ago and I'm curious about the neck.

There is an M stamped on it and I have no clue what it means. I've seen the 35, 85, D stamps before but not M.

The neck is one piece flamed maple as well which is strange as far as I can tell. Haven't seen another vintage tokai tele with a flamed neck.

Anyone know anything about this thing? I've spent hours researching...

Here's the reverb link for more pics: reverb.com/item/3118102-1984-tokai-breezysound-tobacco-burst

I play guitar for 9 years.
I am actually a good and experienced player

Here's a pic of the stamp.

stands for Moron

so go buy it!!! its perfect for you!!!

I'm sure you keep your guitars in a case under your bed and never play them.

Go away I'm just asking a question to stir discussion.

How do you know it's not a W?

I keep my guitar in a case under your mom's bed ya fruit.

>I am actually a good and experienced player
You just made a monster Pete

for Wumbo?

I bought Goodrick's book in my second year of playing out of overtouted ego about 8 years ago and only recently decided to sit down with it properly.

It's alright.

I have the other one that is based on the same tracking tech and released at the same time, the MO-2 Multi-Overtone. That one is sort of halfway between a synth pedal and an octaver, similar sound to the EHX POG.

Tracking is good. I like the sound of the synth tones it makes. No complaints. So i guess check the tera echo thing out. $80 Can. is a good price.

I've been playing guitar for 10 years but stopped around 2 years ago for stupid reasons. What is the fastest way to get to my former level again?

Post some pretty looking guitars

Warm-up exercises. Your standard chromatics all up and down the neck, scales. Your muscle memory for chords comes back very quickly but the speed and accuracy takes a little while.

I play since i was 12, i'm now 21.

Play the saxophone.

I didn't ask you fag

I want it now

That's tacky

>I'm not gay, I'm actually very heterosexual

A new one should cost "only" around 4,000$

>I actually expected that

What do you call that kind of fretboard? Obviously it's maple, but what kind or type gives it that sexy grain?

maple syrup

...

Ditto approves this guitar shape

Birdseye Maple

You're probably looking for birdseye or spalted maple.

hahaha holy shit that's the meme-iest shit I ever seen

I want one (1)

Am I missing something? That's just a Ric 400x copy, right?

Have an educational video about pickups, friendos:
youtube.com/watch?v=EnHH6Uke090

Say thanks if you want

thanks if you want

Can't wait for pic related to arrive.

Been using this crappy Yamaha acoustic for years, am more than ready for an upgrade.

Can I get some band recs?
Modern groove chugga metal stuff like
mastadon and lamb of god and the modern bands theyve inspired?

thanks if you want

i dont know but i want one now

Nice choice with the tonewood

Hopefully this is the right place for this.

I'm a beginner and I've finished all the way through the intermediate lessons on Justinguitar. I'm not entirely sure where to go next/ what to learn. I've basically been focusing on transcribing and learning songs but I know there's definitely more out there. Could anyone possibly point me in the right direction? Thanks

How long is your hair?

Baroness is pretty great, prog metal but really tasteful and sweet

>guild m-20
oh shit that the bryter layter guitar aint it?

neat dude

Not nearly long enough

What are some comfy guitar albums?

youtube.com/watch?v=7vEL9ltCl64

join a band/play with people better with you.
read more books.

Thanks, any recommended books? And I will try to play with my friends more often :)

Glenn Jones - This is the wind that blows it out

I play at my best when i'm playing alone.

The truth is, that if you are going to play with others, it's very likely you will end up playing more generic things because both of you need to have a common ground.

You have more freedom to be adventurous when you are alone. try to compose from your imagination

Noted. I find that I play worse around others because I get too nervous but I usually learn a decent amount because all my friends are better than me.

reach out and find people trying to better themselves as musicians, if your friends don't fit that description i'd recommend craigslist and your local music store. to try and find "the community"
have you taken a look at the advancing guitarist link in the sticky? its humbling as fuck.

any jazz guitar theory based book will teach you things you didn't think you needed to know as well. jazz guitar theory applies across most if not all genres as well so i'd look into that

Playing with people better than you is the best thing you can do if you have that option available

Somehow I missed that first time looking at the sticky, thank you very much, I will check that out.

regarding your post about fuzz and ss distortion: its not that they dislike the tone, the dislike the fact that there is no way to switch it off. frig off aga

what is the purpose of the part that sticks up in the middle of the bridge?

>songs on guitar are just variations of scales

woah

>want to buy a strat
>fender is overpriced garbage
>everything on reverb is overpriced garbage

It's a thumb support for lefty players :^)

Listening to this song again, gave me a better realization of how genuinely talented i am as a musician. the beauty of my own art is not less than the beauty of this song, in my honest opinion

I also never met another person in real life that could compose music as beautiful as the music i am composing by myself. I really, really need to record my music professionally

>I want to buy an f150
>ford is overpriced garbage
>everything on the used lot is overpriced garbage
I think you're a cheap ass with bad taste

are you Wata

90's mexican strats are 400-600 despite being pure ass, just because they are "vintage". Squires are pure ass, low end usa strats are pure ass. What am I supposed to do?

If you're so good how about you post something to see if it holds up

I can record something on my cheap microphone for you, and let you hear it.

It's not a terrible microphone, just cheap.

Good question. My only guess would be a support for a string dampener
