Jazzmaster, Jaguar or Strat?

starcaster

My best advice, use a tuner.

Strat

tuners are actually incorrect, it is better to tune to your ear

this is because, although it is correct that every octave has the exact same steps, the higher you get it just starts to sound out of tune.

so to actually be in tune, you have to be slightly out of tune

>the higher you get it just starts to sound out of tune
Spotted the noob. Set up your guitar correctly.

watch the video before you call me out with your bro sciecne

Tele

vomit

Strat is the most versatile imo.

Has anyone used these? Are they any good?

a sponge?
yeah use them on my dishes, pretty good

Those fingernails are disgusting.
What he's explaining is basically that tempered tuning is a meme, so basically the third of the G major scale and the second of the A major scale aren't the exact same notes. This has nothing to do with "the higher you get" but rather with you playing in a particular key.
Essentially, your frets would have to have the correct alignment, and you would only be allowed to play on one string at a time depending on the key you're in (so if you're in A, you can only play on that string). If you play on the D string but your scale is in E, the notes will be that liiiittle bit off. This differs from wrong intonation however, in that the offset produced by wrong intonation will increase the higher up the fretboard you go, but the offset (measured in cents) introduced by the fact that E != E will be the same in the 2nd and 14th fret.

just get one of these for two bucks and throw it in your case.

Should I get a guitar ith p90s?

anyone ever try one of these? I'm about to buy one for some experimental shit

youtube.com/watch?time_continue=8&v=HyzuzvWme_Y

Of course.

which one?

Yes

I as considering the mustang 90.

I got one right as they came out. They sound and play great. Play one at your guitar store. My only problem with it is that there is no tremelo

Like my new telly?

I would get an Epiphone Casino or Gibson Les Paul Special.

I have a strat and a jazzmaster so the tremelo isn't a big deal for me. just want something higher output to push my princeton.

That looks pretty retarded. The change in timbre isn't that great and it looks much less versatile than using your fingers or a pick. Looks like it was made for newbies.

It would be real easy to route a cavity in those for a strat trem.

>PRS sounds the worst
lmao

mini-humbucker and toaster sounded the worst to me.

what is that, a tine photocopier?

>/gg/ the place where teenage scrubs argue about which chinese shitaxe is better

Get a job. Buy a US strat.

dem p90's tho

why

I kick a stray dog everytime someone posts a dog

im gonna play my monoprice guitar through my guitarcenter "acoustic" brand amp and there aint shit you can do about it bitch ass nigga

he's an idiot

buy a mexi strat

Why not?

No you don't. Don't even joke about that.

youtube.com/watch?v=-U7lfbada-Y
how do you get something like the guitar sound here? the almost tinny sound

...

It braces the neck because it's a poorly made, spiky sack of ugly shit

is this the hidden character colour that just replaces the texture with wood

I loved the minibuckers, they were a good middle ground between singlecoils and humbuckers
Generally I prefer a single coil sound, so for me the wooly overwound PRS humbuckers were the worst of the bunch

yea

Does a Mex count?

Its a new product coming out from Kemper, it profiles the vibrations of the string and the tone woods.

Turn off bass completely, middle pointing to west and treble pointing to east. Natural overdrive.

so guys, when you're playing guitar and are in a band setting (i.e. have a drummer, bass player, keys, and singer), are you actively keeping time in your head? Because I've found that when I'm playing with others I just feel the beat and can anticipate the changes coming along so therefore I don't count. Is it a bad habit?

I simply must have one

how do i change scales when improvising..

how do i move around the neck?

like.. what's the theory about moving from one scale to another?
is it just the chord progression?
so if the chord progression was G -> A -> C i could do a C G or A scale improv?
all i do is fuck around in one scale and it gets boring fast

...

why is that pup so sad?

of course it doesn't you parasitic pleb

hang yourself

I don't like to think about it

i wish i was famous enough to put cute anime stickers on my guitar and not look like a faggot

Try to play fewer notes, but make the ones you do play count. As in, try to find simple, short licks of like 3 notes that will fit the chord change, then string them together into a melody. Start simple, add complexity as you go along. Some notes that are technically out of key might sound good in context. Being able to come up with melodies that incorporate those makes a good musician.

Bully me, I can take it.
Mustang.

instead of moving around the neck, try practicing arpeggios and scales in one position. come up with your own exercises for that, like run up an Amajor scale and then once you get to the last note that you can reach in that position, run down a B major scale or something.

it's not easy getting used to switching around like this, but you'll get there eventually. just start small and focus on chord tones

real musicians have the ez fret, why are you even "playing" without it?

amazon.com/E-Z-Chord-for-Guitar/dp/B0002JKOZA

anyone got ideas for fixing this? I still have the piece that snapped off

it's semi hollow so no access to the electronics through the back and the gap is too small for me to replace the entire pot

it's still functional but obviously the knob won't stay on like this

how the fuck did that happen?

do you still have the broken piece? maybe try super gluing it back on?

IF IT AINT BROKEN
DONT
FUCKIN
FIX
IT

>Buy a US strat.

Sorry, but the japs are way ahead of you in terms of quality

thanks man, bit closer i need to fiddle about with my amps and pedals more often

First (whole) song you learned. Go!

>Dammit by Blink-182

yeah I've got the broken piece. I'm not sure supergluing will hold it up but I'll try. guess I could also try soldering it but that could make things worse very easily

the knob would fall off all the time, at least now I know why it was so loose

What kind of chinese piece of shit did you buy?

You can't get that sound with your finger tips dude...It's essentially like using mallets on a hammered dulcimer or something like that.

It's just another tool, like an ebow or a capo..It's not like you have to alter the guitar permanently

soldering will probably make too much of a mess

fucking ibanez

A capo doesn't change the way you play guitar
and the ebow thing is just fucking stupid
Why even consider playing the guitar if you're not going to actually play it, but smack some stupid shit on it instead

Second hand American Stratrocaster made in 76, candy apple red, a few bumps,nicks and scratches for £749

Should I do it?

No thanks kike

>buying a 40 year old guitar

managed to sort it out with super glue and a bit of card between the prongs

yeah good deal if it's legit.

Mexi Strat, Dimarzio Air Classic in the bridge, guitar was made in 2001 or 2002. 400 euros, but I can probably knock like twenty euros off the price. Cop or not?

you can do both though? pop it on when you want to make the sound the thing makes, take it off when you're done

We warned you about them user

might as well buy a new one for 100 euros more

New Mexistrats cost like 700-800 euros here.

it's not a meme metal guitar though :(

but it's otherwise a decent cheapo guitar, I guess there could have been worse places to cut corners

>decent
>parts are disintegrating
>actually accepting this type of manufacturing quality

user please

How do I get the tone of the bass in this song? I know it's an upright bass, but is it possible to get that with an electric bass?

I second this notion

Changing your strings to flatwounds is the closest you're going to get without defretting your bass

My band is covering Feel by Ty Segall as our encore and I've got the first solo, it's all improvised because it's an easy 3 chord jam to use as a filler. the couple times we've played it I've just been stuck soloing between the keys of B and D or on the 7th through 12th fret for you new friends. Is there any sort of techniques I can do that can help me transition to other keys? At home I have the backing track looped (bass and guitar) but whenever I switch keys they sound forced, out of place and inorganic.

Song for reference:

Which Jazz III's get?

Your improvisation skill is useless if you cant make a good riff

shoot a gun into the crowd, flee the scene

I use the normal red XLs desu senpaitachi

Guys, recommend me the best solid state amp for a versatile musician. Multi-channel, Fx loop, reverb(optional). I am looking for an amp that can play the cleanest rock, but that has enough gain to play some ball busting metal. Budget under $1000.

Super Champ and a 2x12 cab

why the fuck would anyone spend $1000 on a solid state amp?

peace sells by megadeth on bass

Ultex 2.0

Find a used JC120 and use a ProCo Rat for distorto. Best ss you can get for the money.

I think this guitar is beautiful.

Aren't Jazz Choruses shit for distortion?

All ss are shit hence the ProCo.
