Learn open chords and barre chords shapes and you're good.

>String tension calculator (D'Addario-based):
Literally who the fuck cares?

Learn the Major Scale and it's different shapes, learn the intervals.

>Hal Leonard's Bass Method:
Nobody actually plays bass in real life, only on the internet.

First for Lexie

why would you do this?

I need some motivation. How do you guys keep yourself going to keep practicing?

I joined a band that constantly bitches at me for not practicing.
I still don't.

I just don't

I don't practice anymore. I just play songs that are above my difficulty level and force myself to git good.

What kind of guitar music will get me girls like this?

>guitar gets you girls
lmao @ this delusion

Kiko is best guitarist, none can compete.

...

Pentatonic shredding and blues riffs. That's what rock and roll guitar is and the reason it was so popular and why women would jump all over you back in the day.

That aside however, just being an above average attractive guy with a good fashion sense is more important. To sum things up, playing guitar itself does not matter.

>girls like when guys play blooze

Girls don't give a shit about guitar. Very few like acoustic, but the second they see a guy on an electric who actually knows what he's doing, her pussy turns into the Sahara desert.

try getting /fit/ instead

this literally is all that matters

>tfw 6'3"
>160lbs

I can't gain weight. I would absolutely do steroids if I knew where to get them.

can't be bothered lol

>I can't gain weight
Do SS+GOMAD.

Imagine yourself but -20lbs. Life is tough being a skeleton.

It's okay in the winter because I'll always be wearing a sweatshirt or jacket, but in the summer it gets too hot and I'm forced to go around in short sleeves and everyone can see my skinny ugly body.

>Imagine yourself but -20lbs
I look like a normal person of average weight.

6'3" and 140 pounds is fucking disgusting. And I used to be that weight and those were dark fucking days in my life. I was absolutely embarrassed by my body.

from the last thread.

i'm a very boring person

Did you laugh today?

who are the fav band/rtis guys? i feel like i recognize them but not quoite sure

#2 is springsteen im pretty sure, but who is #1

#1 is Jerry Reed and #2 is Bruce Springsteen

my nigga

Yes, when the refs absolutely fucked the shithawks and gave the wild a good goal. Was pretty hilarious and absolutely ridiculous at the same time

posting hotness

post qt country singers

Not country, but I fucking love Meg Myers.

Too bad she plays bass. Female bassists are memes.

#defenddolly

Is she from meg and dia

anyone ever use martin brand strings?

>played for 13 years
>owns a fender

Strung my Taylor with a set yesterday. Feel okay. I'll see how they are after a couple days.

Fuck elixirs

i don't like country but if we are posting our music crushes

also

>'played' for 3 weeks 2 of which were in /gg/ being an ill-informed elitist mongoloid
>'plays' a spiky BC Rich through 14 pedals and an amplified hairdryer

name one decent female lead guitarist in modern times
and dont say that cunt orianthi she is total shit

goddess

i got some today as well because the fucking shop only had daddario ELX shits which were like $14 and the martins were half that so i figured i'd go with these.

if i had a time machine and a wish i'd fucking decimate dolly back in the day desu

this is the trifecta

dolly parton, emmylou harris and linda ronstadt

hng. poor linda's got parkinsons now or something though, cant sing anymore

T H I C C

My local shop strings are pretty much 6-7 pounds (UK) across the board.

Elixirs are like £17

Tried them once and found them slippery and 'tinny' sounding. Normally use d'darrios but they only last me a week or so.

Hopefully the Martins are better

Who

how much do you sweat to wear out strings within a week?

I play a lot

>*wrap wrap wrap*

>I have all the tonewoods here in my ToneVault ®.

What should I expect besides a broken neck and ceramic pickups?

$2799 Australian for my dream guitar. One day.

What about you?

Which city are you in?

Nice to see you guys using my template and it didn't just die.

nsa pls go

What difference does that make? South east QLD.

Fuck thats the wrong template. What am I doin, Jesus Christ.

Main ESP distributor for Australia is in Adelaide so a lot of cheap examples pop up down there. Occasionally see ESP Standard for $1000-1200.

>Occasionally see ESP Standard for $1000-1200.
Holy shit. That's what I paid for my M-300 FM back in 2011.

The only music store here is some budget level shop that only sells BC Rich and Squier because they can't afford the licenses for anything else so I buy all my stuff online.

BMusic handles most ESP stuff in Australia. Last time I was in Adelaide though I saw a clean ESP SV in Derringers for $1200 as well as a few other models.

I've seen a lot of interviews of PRS and he seems like a nice dude. These memes are making me unironically hate him.

What company makes the best strats?

Reposting my tweaked one
r8 or h8

Squire

yours sucks and is gay as hell, user

Fender obviously

>be me
>own music store, generally pretty happy

I want to get into tapping. Recommend me some songs to start with.

>tfw ending up listening to christian rock thanks to youtube
>it's actually good

>tfw you bring in your other friend to try and get a proper review video done but >muh CHAPPERS keeps interrupting with xD s00per sIcK shreddinging rawr

That's what you get nowadays.(and probably in the good ol'times too)
If you ever gig with people that are not very close to you (and are not faggots)
You'll have to gig with drummers filling the whole time (and out of rhythm if possible)
Bass players craving to play another instrument with dead strings, shitty EQ & out of tune
Electric/acoustic players doing whatever the fuck they want
Singers making you transpose everything because they can't sing properly

And everyone wants to solo and be in the front

>user describes The Who

...

...

/gg/ everybody

youtu.be/s22dceatYTw

Whooooo are ?
who who
who who

I have no idea how people learn to play and write like this.

Same way people have learned to play the piano, just take that and apply to the guitar

How do I git gud at improvising?

...

was gonna say this, these tapping asians are basically playing piano on a guitar

>Custom shop Schecter

practice

ninjam, get on it

Anyone got experience with Hughes & Kettner heads? Need an amp upgrade and they seem worth considering.

Schecter has one of the best custom shops in the States m8

>Custom shop Ibanez

Rate my dadrock thing

clyp.it/4cvwgq44

Drums are programmed

Anyone seen the new EHX Canyon pedal? Looks pretty damn good for $140.

How to ad for freelances when i'm already in 2 club bands?

I once got a nice parties band but coudlnt join cause i couldnt tell the leader what i would do if the partyband got a date when my club band already had a show previously booked the same night.

>Custom shop Gibson

>tfw was using d'addarios for like 2 years
>tfw just switched back to ernie ball slinkys
>tfw realised ernies are so much better

She's aged really well

better tone and easier to bend?

>new strings are better than old strings

Really made me think

better tone for sure and just seem a bit nicer to play

>what is 2 years

autism
