Just more of a question about quality. Not sure how good spic guitars are.
Anthony Perry
so anybody know of a good overdrive for dirty clean tones? i've been using my zvex distortion on the low gain setting and its been good times and whatever but i would like to try something different, i'm kind of thinking the voodoo lab sparkle drive because it has a clean blend.
thoughts?

Musiciansfriend.com has Ernie Ball regular slinky on sale for 3 for $10. Then get one of those harmonicas they got for like $5.

Who is so fucking cheap that they get warrantys on strings?

I don't understand what's wrong with finger style, it's a very respected technique

did anyone here self-teach without having played music before?
William Rogers
this song is cool as fuck
Jacob Walker
Yeah. Had some lessons, but they were too few and far between. Almost entirely self-taught.
Robert Wood
>tfw they'll never reissue these
Sebastian Hall
I did, just make sure to learn stuff you like and have fun.
Henry Long
All these basefags. You know that base is irrelevant right? Entwshisle and Geddy are the only relevant bass players in history. You are not needed. No one cares about the bass player. Even more irrelevant than the drummer.
Ayden Evans
uwatm8?
Bentley Lewis
They don't sound very good though.
Gavin Ramirez
do you have a grasp on music theory, or do you play from tabs/memory? want to start playing, but not if it's just miming, and I only ever played piano as a kid for a few months
Robert Sanchez
Yeah, I have a pretty good grasp on theory for bass & guitar. Can definitely write songs, and parts for other people's songs, if that answers your question.
Grayson Rivera
Looking to get dreampop and shoegaze sounds on either a guitar or a bass. What do you recommend(guitar or bass)? I could also use pedal suggestions.
not these guys but I play by ear, I'll finger out the notes till it sounds right, and etch what it sounds like into my head and where it is. Tabs is also a good way to fast forward that process as well as learning chords.
Jacob Long
You are not needed or wanted. Pick up a real guitar.
Henry Young
I learn parts I can't pick up myself from tabs, but mostly by ear. Some idea on theory, but not formally taught. I feel comfortable behind a keyboard and can pick up songs pretty easy on keys after playing 20+ years of guitar. There's a surprising good bit of overlap between keys and strings. Knowing a bit of guitar or a bit of piano sets you up for so many other instruments. Even if it is just miming for a while.
Justin Kelly
Anybody have experience playing with a group in a way different age level/music taste? I'm 20, and back in high school I used to play bass in a band that did all that old fast dadmetal like Metallica and shit, but haven't really touched my bass since. Recently, however, I was asked to join a group of people ~40s+ that plays "classic rock" at some bars/clubs most weekends, and has practice once a week. I'm mostly interested in the pay, plus I just love playing live, and don't mind playing shit I don't like. I'm just wondering if there will be some age dynamic at play that I am currently not considering.
Samuel Wood
Any of these count?
Chase Morales
Dude that only works on people who just started in bass or guitar, I don't know if you're going to get to anyone here. It'd be funny, but we see a post like that all the time on /gg/.
Cooper Clark
Music can cut across all demographics. So it'll be an issue if you let it, or not an issue if you look past it. Guys hanging out playing music is fun, regardless of age. And if you get a dollar for it too, so much the better.
Michael Reed
I want to learn to play guitar, and i'm 30, but it seems kind of childish picking up a guitar at this age right? If I wanted to learn guitar, I should have started when I was a tennager right?
Hudson Harris
No on all counts. Just get a guitar and be happy. Guitar is a tool, not a lifestyle.
James Gutierrez
Nah, T. Model Ford started when he was 50 and was still successful and put out a few records.
Jordan Long
T Model Ford started when he was 58, he kind of sounded like shit but it was badass at the same time.
