Why is writing coherent songs so difficult, really the only thing I write is like hardcore style riffs. But all I can seem to ever do is write an intro, then a verse riff, then im stuck
Nicholas Gray
>hardcore style riffs Literally the easiest shit of all time to write. Just choose a tempo and a scale if you're feeling extra musical and smash some riffs together
Dylan Sanchez
>hardcore style riffs
I'd guess you're having difficulty because you're 12 years old. Try not being 12 years old. HTH
Luke Brown
Easy. >write the riff as you regularly write >put some idiotic chords for other parts
Nathaniel Rodriguez
If I dont replace the tubes in my amp early enough can worn out tubes fuck up my amp?
Xavier Bailey
no, unless they're damaged to the point where the internal electrodes short
Andrew Morris
just b urself
Tyler Hill
That was Vincent Gallo's Falscon iirc
Jordan Martin
Doom larper here, i learned power chords, now what?
Eli Williams
throw your guitar in the trash, go out and get on with your life
Aaron Cruz
get an ampeg portaflex 500 for a couple hundred bucks and as many cabinets as you can track down
Levi Flores
pentatonic scales, hybrid picking, turn the mid all the way up a nd the treble and bass all thew at down
Evan Murphy
Why is blues the least fun of all genres to play
Daniel Cruz
honestly they do the fender sounds really good. Fractal levels but the non-fenders are meh and you can only do 1 of each effect type per tone.
Lucas Jones
I'm still pretty bad at recognizing chords and stuff, so can someone help me identify the basic guitar chords for this song/what key it is in? youtube.com/watch?v=KlT_8GbTQfo
Playing in a concert tomorrow. What song should I play during the sound check if I want to be noticed and offered to join a band?
Bentley Collins
wonderwall
Thomas Torres
tell me you're joking
Andrew Ortiz
I Cum Blood by Cannibal Corpse
Lucas Nguyen
B Dorian
Voicings may not be exact, but this is close: x x 9 7 7 7 x x 7 6 5 5 x x 9 9 9 x
Andrew Sanders
This is a fallacy. That whole "blues is improv" is horseshit, most blooz bores just wank up and down the pentatonic scale churning out the same tired old riffs that they and every other blooz bore have played for years.
Daniel Martin
Linking Park - Everything You Say To Me Leaves Me One Step Closer To The Edge And I'm About To Break
Leo Jenkins
Not a fallacy at all. Those "tired old riffs" are the foundation for pretty much all guitar music ever
Nolan Jackson
Jazz III max grips are so gooooooooooooooood That shit wont move at all
Jack Walker
Jesus christ you don't actually believe that do you?
Joshua Diaz
Lol one downside, if you loose your grip you arent getting it back easily
Logan Russell
>tfw gold hardware is finally starting to wear It ages pretty fast tbf, vibrato arm went straight away, rest still looks like an saudi princes toilet tough. >tfw meemer slow engine is a top meme >tfw evidence audio sis kits are overpriced as fuck >tfw chinks are starting to make knock offs good times
Need to try them desu, I usually just knife some grip into regular jazz iiis.
Jace Taylor
Thoughts on the MS lonestar?
Julian Flores
You're never going to graduate law school with that attitude, Jimmy.
One of the nicest guys in the LA music scene, basically death grips defacto guitarist
James Powell
>howdy!
How so? It's obvious he's reading from a script.
Nolan Long
I bought an echoplex
it makes my room smell like a old persons house when I turn it on
Lucas Parker
Post audio clips pls
Anthony Campbell
pls don't, your demos are shit.
Hunter Harris

Carson Cook

Alexander Flores
love that froosh, love taht ace
Jonathan Young
frusciante is a joke i dont know why anyone likes him
Grayson Powell
Anyone have a recommendation for a good, 1x12 solid state amp? I need something that's portable, and simple. Not about dragging around an 80 pound z30 for a non serious jam session. I have a ZT Club, which is too dark sounding.
The Orange Crush Pro 60 sounds pretty good on Youtube. Or is it shit irl?
William Campbell
I used to like him a lot now I realise he's just a Hendrix impressionist
What's some hipster af gear a guy could make for some scratch? Big muff mock ups are over saturated right now. Mod synths look like too much trouble. Considering stand alone reverb units.
Luke Jackson
john mayer is more of a shitty generic hendrix impressionist than frusciante. frusciante is just a boring hack
Wyatt Taylor
mayer makes ballad blues what the fuck are you talking about
Ayden Mitchell
nothing
a stand alone reverb kit like a 6G15 will cost like 350 bucks to build
are you thinking about just learning how to solder and put components together on a board?
theres pretty much nothing you can build from scratch that will be less expensive than just buying something already made
also google "tagboardeffects" which is the source for most of those kit schematics
Asher Flores
I can probably mock up a 6g15 with $150 materials and 10-15 hours labor. That margin is questionable especially once I go to sell.
The pedal market is saturated. I think break out builders like Keeley, klon, zvex are getting farther inbetween.
Jose Edwards
came to the conclusion again that justin guitar is p bad
he makes a 15 minute video drag on and on and on about some really very simple stuff
like everytime i try to watch one of his videos it makes guitar feel like a chore, when you could read a paragraph online and get the same idea in about 15 seconds
Christian Gomez
Noise effects are always good. You could do variations on this type of thing
FUCKING JOHN SQUIRE THANKS IN ADVANCE IF YOU CAN DO SO
Justin Harris
yeah, i def hear that octave. what is it called when you play the root, the fifth, and the fifth? it looks like a power chord branched off another power chord.
Jason Thompson
The 5th of the 5th? Like refused used a lot? I don't know the actual name but that 3rd note is the 9th, the major 9th. I wouldn't call it major 9th because major tonality isn't defined. Maybe X5sus9, but I have no clue
Easton Price
Squire's lead parts
Jace Peterson
lol how bad how underage
Daniel Robinson
kek, those jigsaw blades thx mate. keep the ideas rollin
