Odd

Anybody ever had problems with the Rumble 200 Head amp?
Yesterday I had some problems with no sound output and then it started to heavily distort no matter the position the intensity, gain or drive pot were, and it's been like that ever since.

This must have been way back in the day when a bunch of Japanese companies were trying to copy Alembic.

>GOD tier guitar in OP

good start to a thread
the prestige artist guitars are still great, but ibanez in the late 70s and into the 80s made amazing guitars

...

3/3

>theory

i play from my heart

>t. can't improv

whats the difference between a scale and arpeggio?

i can play all the notes, just not necessarily in the right order

git gud

forgive my stupidity but what are triads

how to apply them in songwriting/scales etc

so iow you only play improv jazz

A mate is offering his digitech xp-100 to me for 200 aud. Should I go for it seeing as I'll do the jetpack mod on it? What's a digitech xp all worth?

an arpeggio is a broken chord. the 7th arpeggios you see in that picture include the 7th note of the scale, and are the same as a broken 7th chord. all the notes in an arpeggio are in the scale, because all the notes in a chord are in the scale and only for that reason. i find it useful to practice both 7th arpeggios and arpeggios with just the 1, 3, and 5

they're a chord with 3 notes. a chord is defined as having at least 3 notes playing at once, so triads are the smallest chords

Hey guys. I literally just bought a guitar and I'm tuning it. I managed to tune every string except for the second to last, which sounds off to me. My tuner says it's tuned to B but it sounds a little weird and isn't as taut as the other strings. Is it fucked?

best amp

dl another tuner and check again

is the B note an octave low/high?

Are guitar fetish guitars decent? Like comparable to the higher end epiphones?

O I am laffin

anyone play in a band while having a career?

youtube.com/watch?v=IjgGduEcT6Y

No copycat manufacturer will be decent.

Nah, more like mid range squier tier, but their pickups,bodies and hardware are nice for the price. The necks are really the only shitty part about them, they have that super cheap feel to them.

challenge: Record a clip trying your best to play some innovative guitar music (separating yourself as much as you can from pre-existing guitar styles)


clyp.it/svgtxqrl

What's odd about that?

I bet this guitar is like $10,000 isnit it?

i play open mics and im a law student

more of like a casual jam group than a band though

Is it worth investing in a Michael Kelly guitar? A friend of mine that plays in a jazz fusion band swears by them, but I'd like more opinions.

I haven't played one in years but I remember them having really cheap necks that you find on the cheapest made in china guitars. It's like they're made to look nice but are much cheaper in build quality.

Played fine though, those new ones with the Lollar pickups are potentially great deals.

disgusting

Ok. Any recommendations?

I believe its a low.

chinese mafia type group.


triads are 3 notes.

so a major triad is made up of these intervals

1-3-5.

so if you wanted to play a D major chord you would first check the D major scale to see what notes is in it.


D E F# G A B C#
1 2 3 4 5 6 7

take the first one(D) third(F#) and the fifth(A) and you've got yourself a major triad.

heres where the fun begins.

you could stick a 7(C# note in this case) on that major triad and make it a major 7th chord. cool huh?

m.aliexpress.com/s/item/32296705320.html#autostay

How bad could it be?

higher price better toan its a fact

Ibanez makes some good guitars. They make some junk, too.. but most of the major manufacturers have a junk series.

>i can play all the notes, just not necessarily in the right order
Lol.. i like this. Wish I'd thought of this when i was beginning. Going to use this when i make mistakes.

I like/own peavey, but I'll never buy another one unless i find it in a pawn shop cheap or something after I'd seen an episode of "undercover boss" with peavey. The ownership was top notch douchebags. They're failing and deserve to fail.

what did they do?

German thrash metal band Tankard all have jobs. They've been around since the 80s. Don't know how, or where you'd be able to get a job that lets you have months off to tour... unless they worked at every McDonald's in germany

breddy cool at the end

Found the nigger faggot that posts this picture and copy pasta every thrrad.

Gstrings is good. Also smartchord is good. Smartchord has scales, arpeggios, metronome, bunch of other shit too. They're both free.

Also, tune the B to the G string's B (4th fret) if it's an octave low, you'll know. Unless the G is low, too.

CHICKN THE COURNNN

Well, the factory was cutting hours and shit. The boss guy goes around undercoverbbwith employees, they tell them usual sob stories about thier lives and woes so ya feel bad. One guy tells him he has another job lined up, needs to quit. At the end guy takes off disguise. Tells people how happy they are to have dedicated employees. Promises them bonuses, raises, etc. Part that killed me is they convinced the one guy not to leave, promising him these things. Then they FF 3 months or whatever, never delivered anything they promised. Guy missed out opportunity on new job cuz he stayed at peavey and everything and they were going to close the particular factory they shot it in. When they asked the boss guy wtf, he said "they can't afford it, that's business"

You'd probably have to pour another 200 bucks or so for a good set up and decent pick ups, but if you like the way it looks then go for it

also you should let us know how it goes

clyp.it/3vaqwn5a

I put a piece of card on the strings by the bridge and played percussively with a whammy bar. It's weird as fuck, but it's already been done. At least the card-mute thing has, I added in the percussive playing for good measure. True innovation is nearly impossible by now

That's business lad

thx m8
Sounds awesome. Did you over dub at all? Kind of reminds me of John Cage's prepared piano stuff, I feel like more tonal music is rarely explored with prepared guitar everyone kind of went in the 100% timbral direction.

he actually followed them around, listened to their shitty lives and ended up sacking them?

that's a cunt move albeit hilarious since those shows always have a happy ending

Yeah, the main whammy-percussion track is on the left, I did a 'lead' attempt on the right playing with a pick

Here's the same sounds but with some simple pentatonic stuff, kind of playing into the oriental feel of the timbre:

clyp.it/danllbyh

Not sacking them. Promised bonuses and raises and just never delivered. It sure is. I'm glad i don't work for them. On the upside, they tank and go out of business, old peaveys will probably go up in value to collectors, they'll develop some kind of "muh old peavey toans" meme....... Or more likely some Asian company will buy the name and they'll be a garbage joke brand.

thoughts? i'm worried it sounds too Frusciantey/RHCP

>humbucker in the bridge of a tele style guitar
>IN THE BRIDGE

Bruh why did you post this? I think I'm going to cry and vomit at the same time omg

regarding this: You actually can play a bass in classical guitar position easily. It's just a matter of holding it at around a 45 degree angle. Reach is not an issue. I always play this way seated. I started doing it this way because when I play standing I prefer to have the bass at that angle as it reduces left arm fatigue, at least for me. The classical guitar seated position allows bass to be at same angle I play standing up and roughly same position in relation to both arms.

in reply to this:

When i decide to play my bass i hold it classical seated position. But generally only play shit like 7th fret upward. Dunno why. Maybe because i usually just play guitar parts on it, or make up meal/doom riffs like a guitar part. Throw the low open notes in to make big low booms and shit. sounds kinda neat i guess.

i think it sounds nice mate.

chords`?

what do you think of this lads

clyp.it/332203oo

Holy shit playing this way is so much nicer.

I remember liking one song from this hobo, can't remember what it was though

Thanks! My music theory isn't great but they're basically bar chords.

D, A#/D, F, C on low E with thumb over top

less gain/10

i don't want tone critique, just the music

this would be a decent foundation for a song of some sort

[spoiler]if it didn't have so much gain[/spoiler]

tfw want to play jazz but suck at bar chords

any good techniques for making first finger not a floppy useless cunt?

Best hollowbody/semi-hollow guitar for jazzy fusion stuff? (John Scofield etc)

I kept my first finger as totally straight as possible and kept my thumb behind the neck when i did a lot of bar chords.

It's mostly about hand strength. Just keep practicing, you'll get there.

What budget?

Epi Broadway might be up your street at ~$500. Dots are solid hollow bodies for much cheaper too. Don't know much about Ibanez Artcores semi-hollows but they're worth a look if you can spend a bit more.

>no pedals or amp atm because neet
>Gretsch 5125
>.73mm tortex
>can read sheet music but rusty

Have I somehow ascended?

I don't think you can beat the Gibson Midtown for under $1000. Otherwise the Ibanez AS93 is good for the price.

>ascended
From what to what?

What's the trick with Epiphone Casinos?

Supposedly industry standard guitars with no Gibson upgrade yet they sell for only $550.

the neck on them gets shorter with time

I don't really have a budget as I'm just speculating about the future but maybe ~$1200 AUD. So around 900 USD

Ibanez AS93 looks pretty good

From the laffed to the laffer, the /gg/ dream.

How do I get good at guitar without ever practicing??

They're an anomaly, especially if you buy a Peerless made model. I would put them up against any expensive thinline hollowbody guitar. Tuners are a bit cheap feeling I guess, but that's the only problem I can think of, they're not bad at all.

>aud

i can't imagine how much you guys get reamed for a gibson there

play from deep within your soul

your fingers will do the rest

Mentally memorize the fretboard and go through scales in your head, build arpeggios in your head, just do everything except for physical playing in your head

how do i play metal to get a emo/scene gf...
i have an ibanez guitar with 24 frets if that matters.. electric blue finish

So I'm a pleb in terms of theory. I played the clarinet in middle school and that's it. Is most jazz in standard tuning for bass?

bumping for more opinions

get in the ghetto if you want herpes, that'll be faster

>Is most jazz in standard tuning for bass?
Yeah you can do with a regular 4 string for jazz.

5 old guys with bad breath... jamming...

can anyone here actually do this effectively?

girl from ipanema.. frank you take the first chorus.. jerry second.. stephen on the drums... mike... and i'll close us out............

Kinda sounds like something that would be on a Frusciante solo album. That's not a bad thing though.

Cheers for taking the time to listen. I do like Frusciante a lot so I guess its only natural the influence would come out. Do you think its on the right track of being a riff that can be developed into a song?

It happens after you play for a while. You can just improvise without thinking about scales and things too hard
