Any guitar will get dinged up through use/carelessness/intoxicated but bass wood might get it the worst. Finish will be damaged regardless of how strong the wood is, paint still comes off metal.
In short, it'll be obvious either way.
As far as tonewood, I believe it is a meme. Pickups and player affect a guitars sound more than anything. I believe some woods might sustain better, but even then >no proof >will it ever be noticeable or matter?

What do you guys use for recording your playing?
I have a cheap iRig that I used with an iPhone 4, but shit is now too old and neither GarageBand or Amplitube work. I need a replacement but I'm not buying a new iphone.
Easton Brown
Sorry but a 330 fireglo is guitar perfection
Owen Bailey
should i?
Joshua Wood
Zoom H1 for quick ideas steinberg ur22 + rode mic for real stuff
Isaiah Harris
Ew, no dude, come on.
Grayson Edwards
If It's not garbage then yeah It's nice that it doesn't have the weewoo bridge so you easily change the tuning
Colton Peterson
about 430 euro / 470 usd seems to be '85 from the serial, vintage noiseless neck / mid and dimarzio tonezone bridge all in all looks pretty good, just the body wood that im unsure about oh well i don't care too much about it looking good as long as it sounds good
Christopher Fisher
I have a telecaster. How much of a meme am I?
Jason Martinez
I really like the sound of a good tele
Aiden Watson
unless you're a rhythm or country lead guitarist, yes
Thomas Allen
Not particularly.
Parker Flores
?
Juan Barnes
It's a highway1 so I think that's pretty decent
I played on a friend's country track that he was doing for his school project. Does that count?
Jayden Ortiz
always felt the opposite strangely enough
love the look and feel, but hate the thin tone. sounds alright when you go and see a proper band with multi-stacked amps, but at home, yuck
Asher Gonzalez
What good electric guitar brands aren't massive memes?
Jordan Murphy
>how do people break bass strings They don't. You should still be buying and changing strings regularly. They get grimy and dead and lose a bunch of tone
Kayden Hill
i've seen people break bass strings. it was probably due to loads of sweat when playing live though
Adrian Thomas
>Humcuckers
Jordan Williams
Depends really, bass strings don't age as badly as guitar strings.
Covered in dead skin and shit sure, but some people like the dulled tone of years old ones.

G&L was a meme here for a bit.

FL Studio or pro tools. I use FL Studio when I'm writing to change programming on the fly. Also >record passages once >paste them throughout song >needs bridge >move everything over >add bridge >get entire idea of how song would sound in 15 minutes It's really streamlined my writing process from when I first used it 10 years ago, I went from having to re-record on average 3 parts every time I wanted to add a different passage, or change the length of a part, or whatever. It's something you can do in every daw, yes, but FL is designed to work around loops, it's cake. All the variations, changes, whatever to make a repeated passage different from the last figures itself out through improv and ear, but I can have song structure for a 10 minute song worked out in well under an hour. If I didn't use FL I couldn't pull that off, and most of my time would be spent chopping things up and re-recording the same parts over and over, it's tedious.
But, if you're going for something that doesn't involve programming midi then pro tools all the way. You can edit things on the fly and completely twist the original recording without altering the file at all. My favorite thing, if you're recording somebody that likes effects on their vocals or di whatever, you can record wet and get a dry take, they're not part of the recording. In FL I have to record the input on 2 tracks, 1 with effects and monitoring on, one dry with monitoring off. In pro tools you can record 80 punch ins on a single track, in FL it'll show up as 80 different samples you have to manually move to the same track.
Also, pro tools allows for tempo and meter changes, in FL you're stuck. The work around is making oddly shaped loops, but if you're doing odd time to the 8ths you have to work in double time or use 2 tracks.
Post too long
Xavier Wood
just picked up this 12 string guitar
what songs should i learn?
Aaron Ortiz
But say you want to change a kick drum pattern that's midi, in pro tools you have to manually move each note, in FL you just have to adjust the patterns you want to change.
What I generally do is program midi in FL then export to pro tools for the finished product. For tempo and meter changes I'll just change tempo and meter manually in FL when I'm writing that part, then make the changes in pro tools.
Tl;Dr I use rap meme and dinosaur meme
Connor Wood
Stairway to heaven has a famous 12 string part, it's just chords but

Jace Hernandez
I've broken a few, always at the bridge, and always flatwounds. Never broken a roundwound no matter how hard I've played.
Noah Hernandez
Speaking of ugly.. But according to te Bare Knuckle website they can take on anything from jazz to death metal. Has anyone tried them? Am I getting meme'd?
Ethan Diaz
This is more of a general Sup Forums question probably, but jazz players, what are some good jazz albums that feature guitar. I'm finally starting to appreciate it and most of the stuff I'm coming across only features brass, woodwinds, piano and bass.
Oliver Butler
I've been playing for 2 years now and for the past couple of months I've felt like cant get enough power out of my wrist to pick anymore Should I take some time off or something?
Joshua Wood
Django Reinhardt's stuff
Asher Rivera
That sounds great, but I only own a shitty Asus netbook, I doubt I can even capture anything with it.

Guitar.

Adrian Reed
Turn all processing options down and you might be able to run FL with no 3rd party plugins, I used to run it on a toaster with latency issues(might have been my shitty interface) with program monotoring. You can use 3rd party effects, they might cause overload but that won't affect an exported track at all, just playback in the program. Recording with it is pretty solid.
Jose Mitchell
Good call, I forgot about him. Listening now, I like this more than the other stuff I was listening too. Coltrane, davis, the list goes on.
Benjamin Ward

Just put everything up to 10.
Robert Cox
That's actually good advice. I left the house yesterday to take my guitar to get a setup and had to suppress tears and the urge to scream the whole time
Adrian Gonzalez
Not 11? Fucking poser
Andrew Peterson
you really need some friends user. Try joining a band. Doing what you love, right? (I assume you like playing guitar)
Nolan Gray
>mfw all my friend only play vidya
Jaxson Miller
>mfw all my friends 'play' guitar by only practising twice a year, but still insist we should start a band
Ryder Hernandez
starting a band is a great motivation to practice regularly, as long as you take it seriously
i started a band 3 years ago with a dude who could barely play the guitar, and now he writes songs and plays solos
Carter Williams
Thanks for the motivation but I've tried with them in the past and it hasn't worked out, I'll stick to people that are a little more committed
Gabriel Williams
All my band "ventures" with friends have failed, getting everyone to a practice room and paying for it every week is harder than it seems. Everybody needs to be totally committed
Getting and preparing for gigs asap is good motivation though
Cameron Morris
Wish you were here Under the milky way
Luke Ward
>tfw my friends are all great at their instruments and i suck at guitar but im the one who wants to form a band
Landon Clark
>Friends dont like music and the local musicians youve met are all terrible people
One time I caught this guy I met up to play with stealing a pack of strings I had in my case.
Eli Sanders
Play rhythm and find a lead? An old frontman of mine could only play about 6 chords.
Gavin Flores
what's a good Swift song to learn for a girl?
I ask because she's a Swift fan
Grayson Hill
6 poppin 5 droppin
If you folk throw it up
Jackson Green
enough for most famous rock bands
David Jones
I would suggest finding another girl
Benjamin Cruz
I'm posting on Sup Forums. They don't exactly come knocking on my door.
William Gonzalez
I can be your gf user.
Benjamin Lee
This, she's obviously too patrician for user
Juan Ramirez
Still, I found a qt that listens to Oathbreaker, it can be done
Nathan Watson
i can do that, but its not something much for my friends to rally around
Aaron Cooper
Does anyone think that this thread would benefit from some kind of meet up thing? There's obviously people here that don't know other musicians. Especially the new players I think would benefit from it. I know must of us are jaded assholes
Josiah Jones
>tfw friend decides were just going to jam out of nowhere >tfw get excited because I've been wanting to start a band forever >He's GOAT tier and can even improv >Literally every note I played came out like shit and we stopped tfw I fucking blew it
Xavier Fisher
Nice try FBI
Jackson Gray
Pretty much, everything he wrote was just a variation of C Am D G
I love the guy but I think he modeled himself on Noel Gallagher a bit too much
Xavier Murphy
are we going to kiss and stuff?
Camden James
no mids
Gabriel Reyes
improv is really a skill you should practice from the very first scale you learn
Grayson Hill
i still dont get it senpai
Samuel Morales
Any suggestions for a bass that plays good mid tones?
