So i bought one of these last week and am duly impressed. Way way better than it has any right to be. Cheap knockoff pedals ftw.
Jacob Long
nobody wants to talk about guitars today. ;-;
Jaxson Wood
do i need a 9v to operate a pedal? it worked just fine at the store, guy took out the battery, took it home, doesn't work
Hudson Taylor
It needs a power source. You have to use a battery or plug it in. Also it won't turn on unless a cable is plugged in the input.
Luis Diaz
ohhhh. didn't know bout the input thing
Jonathan Edwards
Yes, you need a 9 volt battery or an appropriate AC adaptor. If you use a battery, unplug the instrument cable when you're done, otherwise it will continue leeching power from the battery even when the pedal's off
Ryan Hernandez
White JM white pickguard. Y/N? Pink JM ???? pickguard?
which is why generals are dumb
Matthew King

Nicholas Cruz
>JM no >pickguard ever no
Samuel Watson
JM, yes, and it has to have a pickguard. Also it's >pickguard >ever faggot
Robert Sanders
How would one construct a sort of stoner rock type rig? I'd imagine it would be a shit ton of fuzz but what else? Also what type of amps or guitar would I look at?
Eli Hall
That was a calculated adjustment from the norm to maintain post aesthetics. You wouldn't understand, you do have shit taste after all
Samuel Gonzalez
>you >aesthetics >ever
Juan Martin
You can get anything for stoner rock as long as you have the fuzz for it. I've seen bands use guitars with humbuckers and single-coils, guitar and bass amps.
Ian Davis
Says the guy who unironically likes Jazzmasters
Christian Gutierrez
100 watt Orange/Matamp/Marshall 6x12 cab cause you wanna look cool Jazzmaster
Yes, make sure you use a speaker cable and not just an ordinary instrument cable.
Nathan Williams
Looking for a decent classic guitar that can play every genre.
Should I trade my Schecter hellraiser for a Stratocaster Elite HSS?
Dylan Reed
>have a band with my friends >get invited to do the drummers cousins wedding >yeah sounds fun >remember I've literally only ever been on stage during my high school graduation >social autism kicks in I hope I don't spaghetti all over the stage.
Joseph Allen
>2017 - a few weeks FUCK
Dominic Fisher
if you can, get a bit of xanax. have bad social anxiety and it's helped me on stage. either that or propanol, but i feel like xanax is a bit better at low doses
like one or two beers if you really can't get either of those, but i feel like it should be a last resort cause it fucks up your motor control and timing (not that xanax doesn't, but it seems more functional at low doses).
or you could just work your way through it and become a stronger person mentally but who wants to do that
Jordan Cruz
Guys I lost the little black tip at the end of the switch knob on my schecter hellraiser. Pic related.
Where can I get a replacement? Will a strat rubber head work? Or does it have to be Schecter?
Justin Reed
good shit just ordered it for $115. Going to buy the 6505mh soon.
Ian Collins
one from a strat should probably work
Aiden Lewis
>write a song about my suicidal thoughts >somehow work up courage to play it for friend girl >"aww, that's a really cute song user"
Dylan Jones
Newish guitar-learning wannabe here; I wanted to play a LP for a while now; I've only handled Strats and Strat copies and I'm bored of them. Anybody have any experience with the Epiphone Studio Top Pro? Low, mid-range price tag. Is the buzzing awful/are the pickups noisy/is the action shit/does it just feel like crap/are the electronics shit; that sort of thing.
Alexander Barnes
thanks. Just ordered some on amazon for $6
Charles White
I took mine in go get the action readjusted 3 times and gave up. Buzz, buzz, buzz.
Jose Kelly
american elite?
Caleb Flores
kinda weird question, been playing guitar on and off all of my life but only ever going as fas as learning songs from tabs, what steps would i need to take to start learning how to actually jam with other guitarists? kinda lame going to jam sessions and not being able to play along with other guys cause of my rejection of theory when i took lessons
Zachary Smith
Any HSS strat is pretty versatile. I love my American deluxe *cough*plus*cough*. If you want to spring for an Elite, more power to you. Personally, I'm going wait to see if santa brings one.
Grayson Lewis
yes
Kayden Adams
start by learning your blues minor scales and basic progressions
that's probably 80% of a jam
Jayden Long
Sad. Looks like a really nice guitar too.
Does anyone have any cool recommendations for that price range; around 300-500 USD.
Levi Harris
I think the Hagstrom Super Swede is around that price range if you're looking for Les Paul-like guitars. Maybe the Agile stuff from Rondo Music or Japanese copies like from Tokai?
Brayden Martin
the problem could be that I treated it like shit, rarely play it, and I try to play it like a strat when I do.
YMMV
Elijah Sanders
What should I look after in a medium-low cost acoustic guitar? Got a budget of 200 bucks
Jason Bailey
at that price point, go yamaha
Zachary Morgan
Has anyone here ever built a cigar box guitar? I've finally found dsome that I liked enough to commit to a whole box of.
Jeremiah Harris
do it, but only if it's autumn blaze with a maple fretboard
Charles Roberts
My uncle just built me one. It's one of the first ones he's built, so he's still working some stuff out, but it works for me.
Nathaniel Fisher
i fucked up and wiped all the tonedust off my pickups and lost some color on my sound. Is there a way to speed up the dusting process?
Isaac Rodriguez
>favorite cigar has a box that wouldn't make a good CBG
why even live
Brody Parker
strap it to the hood of your car and drive it through the woods.
Noah Ramirez
I can't get my slide off my finger someone help aaaaahhh
Easton Cruz
chip some paint off the body
Noah Allen
Phew, it's off. That was more of a hassle than it usually is.
Kevin Johnson
only an american could turn a slide into a Chinese finger trap
Jaxon Bell
I always heard that breaking the surface tension of the paint caused a decrease in tonality
Jonathan Gomez
thats only if you play with a pick. when you play with your fingers less paint gives you more mojo
Jace Harris
kek
this is true don't do it.
Logan Ross
little known fact, these are two of the five biggest reasons behind why lap guitars were invented
I can see technical reasons for wanting to play a guitar like this, but holy shit
Charles Morgan
what the shit
Carter Foster
what did you want or expect her to say
David Gutierrez
But what would be the specs I should pay attention to? Any tips?
Brody Martin
Gibson SG assortment of fuzzes big tube head unnecessary number of cabs
Grayson Hill
>Epiphone Studio Top Pro I had a plus top pro that i got for like 550 a few years back. It was great until the neck warped recently, but that may have been my fault. Cheap-ish pickups, but that's to be expected
Carter Young
You know theres more to buzzing that just the action, right? Neck relief, nut, etc
Grayson Morales
the more I listened to the song, the more I realized how normal people wouldn't view it through the lens of suicidal depression
It's kind of funny because gives me hope that my music could actually appeal to normies.
Aiden Lewis
>Finally ready to debut my blackened celestial ambient folk death proposal song to my girlfriend. >Final lyric is "Will you march with me into the evernights eternal sun of blood as our enemies scream for mercy and the forests breed unbecoming doom songs." >She says no
WTF YOU GUYS SAID IT WOULD WORK.
Julian Roberts
do us all a favor and channel that rejection into your next tropical goth power ballad
Isaac Powell
Honestly, that's the dream isn't it. Writing personal and honest music with the potential for widespread appeal with minimal embarrassment to yourself.
Imagine if you were Rivers Cuomo writing Pinkerton
Adrian Mitchell
>that's the dream... Writing personal and honest music with the potential for widespread appeal with minimal embarrassment to yourself.
jesus christ that rings true
John Fisher
Guys I know you probably won't take this seriously, but I am playing in my school's talent show in a little over a month. I am planning on playing this: youtube.com/watch?v=ARI0XyTiips with the song playing behind me on the PA. How do I avoid my hands going to spaghetti in front of 900 people.
Asher Scott
Just bought another glass slide today after i broke my first one.
Slides are alot of fun
Liam Turner
>playing a 9 minute metal song at the school talent show
user, i hope you're baiting us
Henry Foster
It doesn't work unless you're standing in front of a high power fan so you hair flows majestically in the breeze.
Brody Davis
People have been asking me to play since I was in middle school. They all know I am pretty good and that I am a metal head so they kind of expect something epic.
Angel Gray
Are you seriously planning to play a 9 minutes long song at a talent show? At least play some good techwank instrumental if you want to show off, jesus christ
Liam Ramirez
>9 and a half minutes >of metal >at a school talent show
fucking lmao what are you even thinking
Gavin Sullivan
tbqh they probably expect you to play whatever Avenged Sevenfold song is popular these days
Adrian Turner
assuming he's not nordic
Chase Price
Like I said nobody else really does anything worthwhile except a few non self aware kids singing shitty covers of the latest pop song ten times over. I would everybody said they wanted me to play something cool/epic this song is my favorite and has some cool sounding riffs.
James Roberts
isn't it like 4am on a school night in norway
Jackson Parker
there's like no sun in norway, hence death metal and them not giving a fuck way time it is
Grayson Williams
>he doesn't wake up at 4am to get ready to start grinding away as a wage slave
H-haha
Nathan Perez
user you're making me sad
Easton Sanchez
Don't play anything with growling vocals at a talent show, trust me. Here's a suggestion if you want to play something cool youtube.com/watch?v=yIxWtfVUPFc
Wyatt Nguyen
Hey guys, i'll be performing a vocal cover of this song for the school talent show, with the song playing behind me over the PA. How should I approach this
Below is the confirmed GOAT highschool talent show setlist:
>Back in Black - ACDC >Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd >Sweet Child 'O Mine - Guns n Roses >Who You Love - John Mayer (for the ladies) >Stairway to Heaven - Led Zep/Panama - Van Halen/Purple Haze - Hendrix (Voodoo Chile if you have chops) for your showstopper
these songs are the perfect mix of: >relatively easy to play >impressive guitar work (at least one solo or lead riff in each) >fairly easy to sing >very well known
Luis Hall
dont
Thomas Foster
Stairway is too long, but you've got the right idea
Colton Flores
this. you're in middle/high school. don't get fancy with obscure shit no one will appreciate
Landon Sanchez
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
I am literally a semi-normie person who everyone knows as the death-metal guy. Everyone expects a growling song with some fast riffs
Asher Nelson
How big is your school
Brody Barnes
Like 900 people.
John Jones
wow what a terrible tune
Kevin Gonzalez
Then they can't all possibly know you. Listen man, I don't want to psych you out, but you're going about this all wrong
My hands are hurting to the point of not wanting to play and I have been feeling tingling in my forearm
I am going to start doing exercises and stretches for my hands and taking vitamins
Hopefully doing those things will help me
Thanks
Ryan Moore
Don't overthink it and you'll be alright. Guitar is one of the easiest instruments to jam on because you generally don't have to be too consistent and mistakes aren't that noticeable. Just learn some chord progressions and scales and you'll do fine. Practice with a metronome though; keeping time is the challenge that all instruments share.
