Spend some time on bass, it'll help improve your sense of rhythm. Try playing along to blues and jazz tracks.
Leo Turner
Can you guys tell I've been listening to duster lately?
To be fair I'm not sure why people think bass OR guitar are difficult.
Dominic Bennett
anybody here adjust intonation themselves? if i were to do it on a strat, would i just need a screwdriver and a tuner pedal? i don't need to touch the allen wrench things, right?
Grayson Clark
I can tell you've been sucking a lot of dick lately.
David Parker
please try jazz or funk bass and then tell me bass isn't difficult
Caleb Russell
I've heard of fanned frets, but this is ridiculous
Colton Stewart
...
Juan Hughes
cute but out of tune
Jaxon Wood
yes you do
Easton Gutierrez
You adjust how close the sadles are to the fret board. You need a 1/10 cent tuner for that. I got a sledgehammer pro custom off of amazon for 35 that is 1/10th cent accurate don't get the stanard pro it has a rattle and uses more expensive batteries without nearly as long of battery life get the pro custom.
Kevin Peterson
...
Jose Cruz
you do not use a screwdriver for anything. You're not touching the truss or undoing any bolts. Use an allen key to adjust the intonation at the twelfth fret to match the tuner.
Daniel Watson
in big band swing, bass has his own work for him, as well as the pianist. guitar is in it's own "cubicle" as well even though they are in the rhythm section together. aside from that, lemme elaborate
i want to learn jazz, specifically swing music, around the 20's-40's. i want to learn about the chord progressions and common keys they would use.
i think of him more as a rockabilly player, but technically you're right
Christopher Mitchell
The flashy parts of guitar definitely require you to be awake.
That's what I thought maybe at first but I just don't think so.
Now I know why girls play bass so much.
Matthew Collins
Yeah. Tune the string to pitch, Play the 12th fret and compare to the open string (using tuner and your ear as well). If the 12th fret is sharp, tighten the screw on the back of the bridge. This pulls the saddle away from the nut making the length of the string from the saddle to the 12th fret longer therefore making the string flatter than before. If its too sharp, tighten the screw to do the opposite. Just make sure if you have to make the 12th fret sharper, that the saddle actually moves forward and youre not just pulling the screw backwards out of the bridge. If it does this, just push the screw in with your finger.
Jackson Ramirez
True, I won't disagree with that. Especially if you play on an upright. Upright bass is much harder than guitar, but fretted bass guitars were explicitly designed so that they could be picked up quickly by guitarists.
Benjamin Morales
Yeah, just tuned to DADAC#e without doing intonation afterwards cause its fine in standard
Aiden Campbell
what are you talking about? i would be using the screwdriver to adjust the scale length on each string. i was under the impression turning the screws in pic related with a screwdriver would either bring the saddle closer or further away from me, depending on which way i turned it
Nicholas Smith
does n (upstroke) over > mean either up or down stroke picking?
Christian Campbell
thanks user
Ayden Cooper
ur just jelly of my sick gear
Benjamin Powell
I think > means its accented
Ryan Walker
> walk into rando guitar shop north of LA. Wannabe greaser owner organizing shit > see signed guitar but not sure who it is so i ask "By a band called (nobody band from 80s)" "Not familiar" "Theyre older than you are. Was a little thing called rock n roll" And i walked out
This has been 90% of my interactions at music stores in LA
Christopher Williams
ah, makes sense. totally spaced that. cheers.
Isaiah King
>being in california
theres your problem
Jeremiah Watson
Me neither, the basics of both are really simple and practice will do the rest.
imo that's kind of a strawman argument, you can take the most difficult part of any skill and say the same
"awake" isn't much of a task though.
Jack Williams
You gotta stay woke
Colton Myers
>imo that's kind of a strawman argument, you can take the most difficult part of any skill and say the same it's as much of a strawman as "bass is so easy!!!" when you're just talking about play root notes on a punk tune. i mean even the bassline on "is this it" by the strokes is sort of hard to get perfectly right with rhythm and attack, etc.
but jazz bass is in a whole nother league
Camden Bailey
...
Connor Taylor
Im from far north california. No one gives you their bullshit story up there at least. Generally better people too. Or at least a lot fewer
Ryder Perez
jazz anything is in a whole nother league then regular playing
Brandon Martinez
Yeah but in comparaison to other instruments, bass and guitar have the bar set really low.
Cooper Jackson
no they haven't, what the hell are you talking about. i play piano, drums, and trumpet and none of those is harder than playing guitar. do you even remember trying to play an F barre chord for the first time?
i mean if you're comparing it to instruments that just have a stupidly high learning curve (violin, oboe) then yeah it's easier to pick up, but at a high level of playing every instrument is difficult
anything is difficult if you tell yourself it's difficult. you set a wall in front of yourself when you say shit like that
Nicholas Ortiz
Freddie Green
Hudson Jackson
Does anybody else think this new cuckman looks cool?
Adrian Thomas
>i want to learn about the chord progressions and common keys they would use. Get a Fakebook and / or Realbook and learn how to play these chord qualities:
Minor 7 Major 7 Dominant 7 Half-Diminished Diminished
and you'll be well on your way.
Kevin Johnson
>at a high level of playing every instrument is difficult this
Julian Jackson
oops, forgot to mention i'm already checking out the freddie green website and i was hoping there were other sources
Jason Miller
No
Isaac King
>pointy cutaway vomit
David Martin
I'm talking about the absolute bare minimum that's required to play what's considered a "normal" song for the instrument.
Of course you can take the highest level and say "hey that's difficult", but that's not what I'm talking about.
Also just for bragging, I never struggled with the F barre. No idea why.
It's the same shape as one of Dean's LP iirc. I think it looks ugly.
Charles Bell
well, i never said i couldn't do it, but it's a fact that certain genres require more technical skill and, in improv especially, theory knowledge. And just because you admit something is difficult doesn't mean you are setting a wall in front of yourself, it just means you know that its not gonna be learnt in day or two.
Ethan Perez
what's the cheapest way of sending GK3 midi guitar signal to a DAW with VST, i.e. without buying a guitar synth.
Connor Hughes
>certain genres require more technical skill and, in improv especially, theory knowledge i agree with you on the improv but there's a wide spectrum of skill/style in each and every genre that ranges from highly technical to mediocre. take for example rhapsody of fire vs dragonforce. both bands have include techniques that not every band uses. however the guitarist for RoF is a technical player beyond the guitarist for dragonforce
Samuel Collins
Guitar's midi output into an interface's midi input into your computer
Gavin Diaz
i feel the GAS overtaking me, /gg/. i can't stop thinking about buying a cheap electric guitar and slapping a full-body hentai decal on it. or maybe i should get a hot-pink Hello Kitty strat and give it decent pickups.
Hudson Collins
wish it was as simple as that, GK3 does not output midi but some propietary signal than the guitar synth then convers to midi
Jaxson Gray
I vote for the large sticker. Make sure it's lewd.
Robert Powell
i live close to a vinyl decal shop for cars, but i wonder if i can have them make a custom Taimanin Asagi picture for the guitar.
Nolan Thomas
>Taimanin Asagi I'm proud of your choice user. Who's it going to be ? also explicit decals or bust
Hunter Lopez
i guess the skill thing is something i would take back, as there of course are great guitarist doing all type of genres and there generally isn't a limit to how difficult something has to be in order to count as a certain genre.
Logan Lewis
Do young people today really think that good guitar playing = fast guitar playing
does no one care for feelings in music anymore?
Jose Stewart
>does no one care for feelings in music anymore?
im producing beats on my laptop old man. go to bed.
Asher Harris
Do old people today really think that emotive guitar playing = slow guitar playing
does no one care for speed in music anymore?
William Brooks
it's a tough choice between Sakura and Asagi, but the latter has the most extreme ahegaos and most violent bukkakes, so i'll probably go with her.
Jayden Barnes
>old conservative strong rednecks an autoshop making jokes about hanging niggers and yelling stuff at girls in the street... >skinny weaboo boy weighting 15kg comes in an asks to print a picture of a japanese cartoon with cat ears shaped like a guitar with a comic speech bubble that says " i love you user, you dont need anyone else but me"...
shit son, best case scenario your whole town is gonna bully you to death. but youll probably get raped in the process too
Bentley Roberts
so that's a no... weird, i learned what music was at an early age, in my teens. but well it was different times i also lost my virginity back then i know you kids prefer to wait till youre 35 or something, well maybe when you become a man youll understand what real music is
Ryan Lee
the people in these threads are so fucking stupid sometimes i dont know if youre trolling or not
Sakura is fucking boring mate, go for Asagi. Or Murasaki, she's got a dick.
Nathan Baker
your guitar
Mason Diaz
does it djent?
Ayden Murphy
fuck no
Kayden Campbell
AAAAAAH AAAAAAH AAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAH AAAAAH AAAAAAH
Xavier Turner
nah, i used to be /fit/ and can handle myself socially. i'll just treat it as a joke and holy shit who am i kidding, i'm gonna get raped.
Gavin Nguyen
i repeat, when you become a man youll know what real music is
youll see few people over the age of 30 at speed metal concerts, but it has excisted for more than 30 years... ohhh why is that?? mistery!! could it be that.. mmmm its just a fucking phase people go trough?
Joshua Collins
kek
Jeremiah King
just do whatever you like, if you need to get into arguments about speed vs feeligns its because you dont know what you like so you have to channel those feelings into annoying other people
Jacob Gutierrez
can you please try harder, you're breaking my immersion
i want to get a tele just for some twangy vibes but dont care to spend a ton of mooney on it
Bentley White
what are you doing?
Gabriel Flores
playing my mel9?
John Smith
He fell for the "make your guitar sound like a down-syndrome midi instrument that people only pretend to like because of tradition" meme
Jason Young
not really
Adam Thomas
>its another episode of "poorfags hate people with disposable incomes"
Michael Roberts
excuse me
Benjamin Diaz
playing is a strong word
Joshua Baker
So I'm thinking of picking up an electric guitar, god knows my old hobbies are suddenly dead to me nowadays.
I'll probably have maybe £300 to spare, obviously not expecting something other than a "decent for its price", but I know fuck all about the different types available.
What sort do you guys reckon I should look at getting? I basically want something that, when I get good at it, I'll be able to make it make sounds like that final solo in Leif Erikson - like, mellow sounding stuff?
Luis Green
it genuinely sounds a lot better in person phone mic is shit
Andrew Sullivan
>it's another "blues lawyers buy expensive equipment so they can play shittily on it once a week while actual gigging musicians have had the same gear for years" episode
