If you don't use a tape recorder for distortion or delay, stop playing

Alexander Rodriguez
this is sick
alright gg, any of you ever painted on a guitar? i dont want to repaint the guitar, i just want to paint something on the guitar. what kind paint do i buy?
better than Jared Dines or Terreberry, but damn he is a shill. Also you can never hear shit in his amp demos because he constantly has the mix blasting behind it and only plays drop d riffs.
Connor Davis
what size of hex key do fender/squier strat truss rods need?
James Barnes
You like my guitar?
Colton Wilson
Not really desu
Ryder Green
It's pretty unique looking if nothing else
Aiden Edwards
JUST
Camden Ramirez
meh, he's not that bad, his only issue is the same as Ola Englund, all his mixes sound the same, but otherwise his videos are correct.
I've seen those before, kinda ugly imo but I'm still somewhat curious as to how it sounds.
Xavier Cooper
I think I do.
Robert Reyes
yes
Anthony White
I've done it about 5 times now
Use duplicolor lacquer spray from automotive stores Use:
Deft sanding sealer 1 can primer 2 cans paint 2 cans clear
the cans are expensive and small ($8 per can), you can get away with just using some clear lacquer spray from home depot, thats for doing a whole body
what do you want to paint on the guitar?
Brandon Reyes
Is Rob Scallon the best youtube celebrity guitarist?
Colton Butler
...
Colton Anderson
they're all overrated at least he's somewhat interesting techniquewise
Carson Johnson
>YouTube guitarist no, they're all fucking memes and if you enjoy their content, you should stop posting here.
This kind of gives you an idea. I play mine through an AC30 so it's a bit chimier but still sounds solid.
I got it for $400 too so it was a pretty good deal.
Carter Scott
Nah, that's Stevie T.
Parker Russell
The key that came with my squire affinity is 4mm
Jack King
>steel in backround Some bass akwards, ding toed, cuntry bish.
Jordan Lopez
can you guys recommend an attenuator?
Ian Edwards
damn I don't think mine came with any but then again I may not remember cos it was years ago
Levi James
I have an overdrive, wah, and a looper and a hot rod deluxe. Should I get a delay, phaser, or reverb?
Julian Ward
That's kinda boring to me, that might just be the tone they dialed it but I don't know for sure.
Chase Evans
So for my first guitar I was thinking about getting an Epiphone Les Paul to learn with. What guitars would you recommend?
Charles Diaz
it could cost almost a dollar to replace the key
just buy another squire
Ethan Young
delay or reverb
Easton Allen
well I won't be able to buy one until like monday and none of my dad's keys seem to fit
Wyatt Fisher
Avalanche Run, pricey but delay and verb in one.
Owen Russell
how could you not buy an allen wrench until monday?
Michael Flores
well I guess I could do it tomorrow before the shops don't close down before new year's eve so I might be bothered to do so what is actually important and what has not been answered yet - what is the actual size of the key?
Nathan Hall
Yeah, that's not really the best representation but it gives you an idea.
Gabriel Russell
i was thinking a rose in this abstract sort of style i do one but it may be too corny. whats the process you use with those ingredients you listed? do i need to stick some primer on the spot i want to paint the rose?
Jordan Gutierrez
Try some sus2 chords
Csus2 x 3 5 5 3 3
Dsus2 x 5 7 7 5 5
You can also play major and minor chords as power chords with the root of the chord on the D string and the third in the bass like this:
EMaj 4 x 2 4 5 x
Emin 3 x 2 4 5 x
You can play power chords with the fifth in the bass to give them a heavier, fuller sound:
D5 5 5 7 7 x x
E5 7 7 9 9 x x
There are some chords you can play with open strings:
D5 x 0 0 2 3 x
G5 3 x 0 0 3 3
The Hendrix chord (7#9) sounds pretty good even with thick distortion:
E7#9 x 7 6 7 8 x
Jordan Evans
4mm but get a whole set of metric for like a fiver.
Bentley Moore
1/8" for fenders
other dude is saying 4mm, which could be the case for asian stuff
buy both
Asher Richardson
good to know, I avoided falling for buying the 1/8 key from the fender jews
William Gutierrez
my squier is chinese so maybe I'll be better off with the 4mm one
Jack Jackson
remember, you're not buying some special truss rod adjustment tool, you're buying a plain old allen wrenches. Just get both. You can get a fucking set of allen wrenches for like $5.
Zachary Flores
Truss rods that take an ordinary allen wrench are usually 4mm or 5/32". They are close enough in size to be interchangeable between metric/imperial (5/32" = 3.96mm).
Gabriel Russell
Yeah? Nah?
Jayden Ross
except I'm a eurofriend and I'm not sure if I'll even find a 1/8 wrench that easily, it seems that 99% are exact metric sizes neat
Joshua Hernandez
I just tried the wrench that came with my am deluxe on my chinese squire. It didn't even have a fucking hex socket. I don't even know what it is, like some kind of slot.
on my indonesian squire, the wrench was too small, so 4mm is right, I guess.
Matthew Jackson
1/8" = 3.17mm so you can get away with using a 3mm on those. Wrap a piece of masking tape over your allen wrench to shim the difference.
Julian Ward
nvm just found a mixed metric-imperial set for like 3 bucks
Gabriel Lewis
Dispatch Master is another EQD Delay/Reverb that's cheaper
Kevin Lee
You probably need one of these.
Colton Evans
Thinking of getting an Eastman AR371CE based on a recommendation from here a while ago. Can't decide between wood look or a traditional sunburst
Jace Flores
Mistakenly omitted image
Michael Brooks
I just got an Epiphone SG and the low E is buzzing like fuck.
Noah Scott
Also very useful are smaller diads like thirds (major and minor):
Cmaj diad x 3 2 x x x
Dmaj diad x 5 4 x x x
Emin diad x 7 5 x x x
Another very useful kind of diad is a root note with the third in the bass like this:
Bmaj diad x 6 9 x x x
Amaj diad x 4 7 x x x
Another diad is just the root note with the fifth in the bass like:
G5 x 5 5 x x x
Bb5 x x 3 3 x x
C5 x x 5 5 x x
(think "Smoke on the Water")
Let me wrap things up with the Tritone interval. You hear George Lynch and Mötley Crüe use this one all the time:
Tritone on E x 7 8 x x x
Tritone on D x 5 6 x x x
And here's an example of tritones sounding rather bitchin':
You need a 5mm I have a CV Squire Strat. Bought a set of Allen wrenches for a dollar or two at Walmart. I forgot the smallest size but you can use it to adjust the saddle height.
Owen Edwards
>I bought a cheap guitar and it's shit Did you have it set up when you bought it? If you did bring it back and explain the issue and I'm sure they'll help you out. If not bring it in and see if a tech can help you.
Bentley Bennett
Speaking of guitar specific tools, the thing that annoys me the most is the height adjustment screws on some bridge saddles. Some companies insist on making those the tiniest possible. The Hipshot Kickass bridge on one of my basses takers 1.5mm. I mean holy shit can you not at least make that an even 2mm? A lot of basic allen key sets don't even come with a 1.5mm.
Isaac Lewis
I'm thinking about buying a mastermind so I can put all my pedals in a rack.
My band hasn't played in over a month and I'm pretty sure we're done.
Help.
Jackson Young
Raise the saddle. Should be tons of vids on YouTube. It literally is just turning a screw.
Excerpt of my bands most recent show a week or two ago, thoughts?
Thomas Gonzalez
>tfw didn't cop the star wars super meme version
Logan Martinez
just what i'd expect from angsty suburban high schoolers desu
Ethan Fisher
the bassist is going to give himself whiplash
Colton Phillips
I like that
Juan Rivera
LOL yeah, it's worth it though
Alexander Torres
thanks man.
Nicholas Young
Haha yeah, unfortunately that's the kind of music we like playing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it is what it is
Nicholas Robinson
I thought it was just bland twinkshit but when I saw that stupid forced "brakdown" I gave up on any sort of pity this is trash
Jackson Richardson
You're not wrong though, glad you took a listen :)
Liam Clark
this reminds me of one of my favorite local bands
the bassist usually wears fish nets and rolls around on the floor
the singer is a big sweaty fat guy.
they dedicate all their songs to random shit. he dedicated a song to paula dean. he pulls out a tub of margarine and rolls and spends the entire song buttering rolls and throwing them at people in the crowd. not tossing them, like whipping them at peoples' faces.
Camden Miller
>lol so RANdum XD
Aaron Campbell
Oh my god, that sounds awesome if the crowd is actually into it. I really enjoy when bands do their own thing. (Provided that they have fans that reciprocate the act)
Jace James
No problem man. I didn't want to mess with anything with the guitar but adjusting the height was so straightforward. Same with intonation, truss rod and raising the pickup height for a pickup that was too quiet.
Going to look into painting and some soldering stuff when taking out the pickups.
Sebastian Long
i would not go see that band live
Aiden Rodriguez
One of my friend's ""bands"" is themed around cheap wine. It's trash but every time they do a show they throw some re-branded plastic bottles of wine with their band's logo taped on it, and everyone ends up pissed.
Cool. I'd love to get into DIY customizing, but I'm pretty strapped for cash right now, hence why I had to get an Epiphone.
Levi Ross
Wait, just double checked this. It's not the bridge that needs 1.5mm, it was the set screws on the pot knobs on that bass.
Daniel Powell
It's pretty fun once you get a handle on how everything works in relation to everything else on a guitar. Also addictive. You start looking at cheap instruments with an eye towards breaking them down for parts to make frankenstein instruments.
Speaking of which I am just in the process of collecting the couple things I will need to do a fretless conversion on my cheapo bass. That will be the biggest job I have tackled so far.
Zachary Lopez
How would I go about doing this?
Samuel Moore
with at least $500
Brayden Howard
Just built the trotsky overdrive from beavis audio(thanks to the wayback machine). Used different diodes and transistor cause availability, blows any tube screamer ive ever used out of the water. Its really solid.
Dominic Moore
I fucking hate him too. And he has shit taste in metal.
Jeremiah Foster
5 of my 6 pedals are boss, the other is a wah. need a delay and a reverb now and i'm thinking of buying them boss just for the meme factor
Carson Williams
What's some good blues to play to impress normies?
Xavier Gomez
Cheaper guitars are great because you might only have to swap pickups later down the road.
I love my Squier Telecaster. Don't need to change anything so far.
