These look nice but I don't know if I want to buy pickups that cost half the price of the guitar tho.

I have no idea what guitar to get. I want a semi hollow but I don't know what to look for that's not overly expensive. I'd also like a nice strat as I only have a Mexican one, but I don't really want to get one if I already have it.
Connor Watson
first for how do I learn guitar
AND
how do I know when I've learnt guitar?
Hunter Johnson
Not that guy, but I've got Fender custom shop pups in a $50 pawn shop squier.
With some good pots, locking tuners and a decked trem, it plays like a dream.
Joseph Sullivan
Get an epiphone and call it a day. Speaking of epiphone I have a question dudes.
So I have an epiphone SG, and the bridge pickup doesn't have as much output as I'd like it to. Does anyone have any recommendations on a pickup that the cover will still fit over, yet has more output?
Landon Rodriguez
Really considering buying a new bass and I found a Fujigen J-Standard for $400 used. Good deal?
Julian Peterson
That's basically what I had in mind for my Mexistrat yeah. I like the neck a lot since it's so different from my other super fast Jackson necks but the hardware is meh at best. Already blocked the trem and I plan to change pickups, tuners and paint it white, love them white guitars.
Jacob Nelson
what do you call the technique he is doing on the back beat? Palm muting or Chucking?
Also If you have any good videos detailing how to do it please post
Sebastian Garcia
is a squier affinity telecaster worth buying, I'm a poorfag and already own a ibanez gio
Elijah Young
He is just hitting the strings while muted. I guess you could call it palm muting?
Austin Peterson
>ibenis
Nathaniel Hernandez
Just stick with your ibanez until you can afford something better
Eli Russell
>new strandberg lineups of guitars >downgrade all the frets from stainless steel to nickel >keep the same price or increase it
The guy went full jew.
Austin James
>(((berg)))
Evan Mitchell
Turns out stainless isn't really all that great. It still wears out, cost 2-3 times as much to replace as nickel silver, and you go through strings like a motherfucker.
John Turner
Of course it wears out, it's not magic, but it's still more durable.
Regardless, the prices should've gone down instead of up.
Charles Howard
everything about this picture is so disturbing
Logan Phillips
Arrives tomorrow. Sporting a bit of a stiffy.
Charles Wright

>that piece of black plastic around the pickup selector Why? It ruins the looks of the guitar imo.
Ryder Williams

Brody Sanchez
Woo lad take pictures
Noah Cox
Would only bother me if it didn't match the other hardware for some reason.
Jack Gomez
get stainless strings. problem solved
Leo Jones
Schecter corsairs for $500ish are Great, and the model up Corsair custom (block inlays) has the Schecter Pasadena pickups which sound extremely great.
IF you are in a lower price range the Epiphones are actually good semihollows but the pick ups are over wired garbage. You need to replace them, again I'd recommend those schecter pasadena for blues smooth creamy clean or if you want to play loud/punk the dirty fingers from gibson. Has a great jangly bright yet clear dirty tone that is unmatched IMO.
Carter Reed
I'd ebay a Fender MiM or Schecter PT. Much much better guitars and used they drop down to the sub $300 range.
Brandon Lee
nice, be sure to post a video of you shredding to some AX7 or other generic metal on youtube.
Jason Lopez
I learned by copying my favorite dudes fingering and picking and learning all of his songs with his technique.
Theres a feature on youtube that wasn't there 12 years ago when I learned where you can watch videos at half speed.
If you are already musically trained you can usually figure out songs by watching and by ear if not you can use tabs.
Hunter Walker
Honestly slowing upgrading the parts on that thing isn't a bad way to go. I think the new schecter pick ups based off their 80s stuff is a great way to go, good prices, and also warmoth makes fender replacement parts where you can get a new neck built to your preferred specs. Go try out different neck profiles at GC and replace the one on the squire down the road. New bridge and you'll have a really nice guitar.
Adrian Jenkins
Sup /gg/, I have a semi-related question: Can everybody sing? Or can some people just never learn it? I want to be able to sing but I think my voice sucks right now and I'm not sure if maybe there just is no foundation to build on
Evan Richardson
Can anyone provide me with the schematics for this?
Eli Rivera
How do you git gud on bass.
I feel like I have no sense of groove whatsoever.
Jeremiah Wilson
>slowly upgraded a piece of shit vintage >bought it at the pawn shop for $150 >over one year put in another $400 >People cream over my guitar >It's the memest guitar ever >two amps KEK
Jacob Lee
Are both those pots global?
Owen Torres
Anyone can learn to sing however most people's voices naturally sound boring same-y. I'd say 90% of people end up sounding like the starting line or bullet for my valentine or from first to last when they sing well.
If you don't have a unique voice dont waste your time because you'll never make it.
Angel Collins
i was afraid it was gonna be like that, so yeah thanks
Joshua Brown
Not sure since English is not my first language and I'm not the first owner of this guitar or those pots.
Eli Sanchez
So given my current schedule is fucked I have five hours between classes twice a week, how bad of an idea is it to leave an electric guitar in my car during the day to practice on during this gap? I have a soft case but temperatures would fluctuate to very fucking cold to warm and very fucking hot to cold and vice versa when I'm driving and turning the car off.
Matthew Young
If its a squire dont sweat it because its already junk but the wood will warp and the guitar will get fucked.
Thomas Scott
>he fell for the epiphone meme
Adrian Roberts
Get a cheapo model. With the temperature changes like that I wouldn't want anything expensive.
Ian Brown
Well, fuck. What if it's cold as fuck/hot as fuck but constant? I have a hatch right now (sports car though, go figure) but I'm buying one with an actual trunk soon.
Brandon Long
anybody knows what kind of pedals do i need to get that arpeggiated delay sound?
Digital delay, tap tempo, different note divisions so you dont have to stomp in double or quadruple time, play arpeggios
Michael Taylor
Well thats not as bad. As the guitar changes temperature though the wood will warp and probably youll notice certain frets wont work anymore etc. I currently have a $600 guitar that warps at the 13th fret in winter temps in my appartment, aka, below 65 degrees and fret 11 and 12 on the b string are always a C note because of the warping.
I've seen guitars where it warps so bad whole strings go out.
In spring/summer/autumn though my guitar goes back to normal.
Humidity also matters.
So idk go for for it but be prepared to risk the guitar.
How retarded would it be to use these on a regular electric guitar?
Gabriel Ramirez
Why would it be?
Charles Reed
Good lad, i got the maple finish the other day
Thomas Watson
IMO it's too heavy of a string gauge; I'd use 11's or 12's, but that is pushing it for me. Also, use flats, not rounds; with flats you won't have the "string talk" of sliding your fingers around.
Adam Ramirez
This isn't necessarily true... With years of singing you develop your own timbre.. the ones who sound generic are mediocre singers..
Kayden Baker
Aw yeah. What are you running it through?
Luis Phillips
If you ain't using .9's you're using shit
Nolan Peterson
>Ibenhadz lol
Go Gibson or go home.

Jayden Thomas
It's made in America you dumb shit.
Eli Campbell
Hence why
Luis Peterson
>people that buy Gibson doesn't actually know how to read
Why would I want to just let my guitar sit around though? I want to play it.
James Green
Does he not play it?
Brayden Lee
Is this a parody video?
Mason Bennett
>implying thats a good thing
John Russell
Nah, John Mayer for example has a great voice from birth without training it. Sonny from From First to Last / Skirllex has a shitty voice no matter how much he trains it.
Cooper Brown
how much theory do i need
what are some core things i actually need to know
Easton Martinez
No that's what Gibson owners are actually like.
Alexander Gutierrez
You don't need to play to have a Gibson.
Angel Rodriguez
Bump.
Anyone?
Joseph Peterson
He's sperging out full autism about it but didnt even look up the year it was made.
Daniel Martin
Are there any easy to learn songs with harmonics in them? I've only had Roundabout to play and I'm thirsty for more.
Dominic Collins
everything you do on your instrument involves theory. it's in the chords you play, their progressions, their notes, their pitches. literally everything you do has a term in musical theory. don't be afraid of it. they teach this to children after all.
Here's a passage from a piece by Mauro Giuliani that prominently features artificial harmonics. The places you see saying "Armonici~~~~~~~Loco" are all harmonics. Knock yourself out.
Joseph Gomez
You don't usually bend strings on an acoustic guitar though.
