Can I pull off shoegaze with humbucker or should I stick with muh offset meme machines
Thomas Perry
Yes.
Samuel Ross
/gg/ rate this solo i made for my band's new song clyp.it/td5dc2pj
Christian Green
Pretty good. Focus on playing it a little smoother. Also, pay a little more attention to the comping and add some notes from the chords the rhythm guitar is playing to break off from using strictly pentatonic notes.
Kayden Miller
>add some notes from the chords the rhythm guitar restd on triads already
Easton Baker
Not bad. The solo kinda reminds me of Jimmy Page. Keep it up! :)
Aaron Jones
Does any one know of a speaker that sounds like an old Alnico Rola that can handle more than 25-35 watts?
Jonathan Baker
prolly a greenback will do
Nathaniel Thomas
The Belle Epoch I ordered finally came today. How on Earth did I get by with no delay pedal for the past 14 years?
So is a defeat jack on a rack effect just something you hook a footswitch up to to switch it off essentially, or if not what does it do?
Tyler Murphy
I'd pay big bucks to get that bridge pickup tone.
Julian Flores
Thanks! That's an idea. I also wonder how a celestion gold would sound.

Any good theory books you can recommend to a guitar pro shitter? My goal is to be able to jam,transcribe songs by ear and write my own shit.

Trying to upgrade my Squier Jazzmaster. What should I look into? Ideally somewhere around the $500-600 range I was just going to get new pickups and upgrade the one I have but the more I play it the more I realize it's just kind of a cheap instrument in general and not in a good fun noise rock-y way

Awww, I really like my VM Jazzmaster, for exactly the reasons you mentioned; I use it for writing noise rock and shoegaze-y stuff and I love how the instruments' particular playability lends itself to those styles.
If you like the beefier sound of the Jazzmaster compared to other Fender models, I would suggest either a semi-hollowbody like a Gretsch, or maybe something like an SG. I started out playing on a Strat-style body, so when I got a JM it immediately made me appreciate how much more playable I find Strats which is why I decided to get a Strat and use it as my main guitar. So if you want that jangly single-coil clean sound then I would recommend a MIM Strat or Tele.
Landon Garcia
That's illegal in Australia.
Nicholas Ward
What strings should I use to try New Standard Tuning (CGDAEG)? I'm using 10's on a 25.5" scale guitar and my B string really doesn't want to go higher than about C# or D.
Landon Nguyen
What are your favorite Soundgarden songs to play?
Colton Gonzalez
Wrong twice
Jayden Torres
I really like outshined cause the chorus feels really powerful, also muh 7/4. Not a complex song by any means.
Samuel Taylor
None. Soundgarden sucked and I'm glad I don't have to listen to Chris Cornell anymore
Josiah Ward
I'm stuck in a rut, I have a stock epiphone lp100 I'm not too fond of it, the strings rattle constantly and compared to every other guitar I've played it feels physically lacking. I don't know if I should upgrade it's pickups or get a new guitar. It's kind of okay but I feel like any other average guitar would be better all around. Would a set-up fix most issues of the physical issues, or should I just get a new guitar? Getting a new guitar kinda bothers me tho because my parents bought it for me as my first and I don't think I should get rid of it, but I feel like having more than one electric guitar would feel weird (it sounds retarded I know). If I was going to another one I was thinking of a fender-style guitar (dirt cheap jazzmaster clone with p90s from local shop, with good reviews)

a bunch of engineering and physics guys from /sci/ are debunking the idea that anything other than electronics, scale length and set up, and player technique affect tone. They're saying that it's impossible for the wood, finish, or weight and mass or whatever to play any part in how the guitar will sound, and claiming that it's all snake oil from the guitar industry to make money and saying we're in the same level as audiophiles
glad I just built a partscaster with all used shit, my favorite neck shape, all satin, and best electronics for playability. I never bought that cork sniffer shit, sounds totally nuts to me. Pretty sure Claptons most famous guitars are partscasters.
Carter Ortiz
>They're saying that it's impossible for the wood, finish, or weight and mass or whatever to play any part in how the guitar will sound, and claiming that it's all snake oil from the guitar industry to make money and saying we're in the same level as audiophiles Absolutely. I proved this to myself a long time ago: record a few tracks through the same amplifier using cheap guitars and then use expensive guitars. Or use pedals and alternate between cheap distortions and expensive units.
Not only will most guitarists be unable to correctly guess what track is what, if you reveal that a track they liked was made with cheap equipment, they'll start to dislike it.
I never tried it with bass though. Do basses played clean through an amp have more of a variation?
Landon Reed
here we go. so i'm pretty sure its fucked right?
Nathaniel Cox
Fender DG60CE btw
Nathaniel Cruz
Pretty sure froosh played a $50 squier through software one time to prove this point and made it sound better than anything I will ever play. Tone is in your fingers. You either play well or don't and I don't think expensive gear changes that, just practice
William Sullivan
I don't really like Jacksons, but this seems like a bargain for 313 bucks when it costs around 800 new. Should I go for it?
Blake Bennett
its an ugly guitar also dont buy a guitar u dont rly like lol
Jace Clark
I was talking about Jacksons in general. This one looks fine to me. It's not as edgy as Jacksons usually are
Josiah Lee

>muh science Some people like to play nice things and other /gguys are poorfags.
You can just walk into a guitar store, set an amp up, and bunch of several thousand dollar custom shop Stratocasters and then some squier classic vibe Stratocasters and they will sound pretty damn similar. What it's going through and how good you are matters infinitely more, no fucking question.
Angel Morales
What the h*ck
Nicholas Garcia
Play it first. The ones I've played looked and felt pretty fucking cheap. I like that body style too. Reminds me of Fernandes, which is why I would just buy a Fernandes instead.
Charles Cox
That doesn't even matter anymore. You can air guitar now and sound like Clapton because TONE IS IN YOUR FINGERS BRO
Nathan Torres
who wants to sound like eric wankton anyway
William Cox
well you'll sound like every other guitarist too. Every guitar sounds exactly the same via hard Brazilian science.
Evan Gray
Stop playing rock music
Ethan Sanchez
I have a question for any guitarists/basists, when you see muscians live what do you think of them jumping around or spinning around? Is it seen as a musical sin, or is it cool? I'm genuinely curious. >Image is an example
Cooper Thompson
It is. I'll listen to Eric Johnson play a classic vibe through software before a novice with Eric Johnsons personal gear because Eric Johnson sounds better. """TONE""" only matters if you are so good that you have exhausted your ability to significantly improve technically.
skill >> playability of the instrument >>> amplification, software, effects >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> wood, finish, mass etc
Isaiah Flores
it only annoys me when it's someone like the bass player from Manic Street Preachers wearing a dress and jumping around like a tool whilst sounding shitty and out of time.
if they are actually good and still sound good live, they can do whatever the hell like they like.
Henry Bennett
I only watch musicians who sit down. aka real musicians.

Nah, I try to move around quite a bit onstage myself because it helps me get over the anxiety that comes with live playing. And generally it adds more energy to live performance as a whole, which your audience will probably (hopefully) respond to. Now, if you're playing something REALLY technical, or like trad jazz or whatever, then you can probably be forgiven for opting to sit since the music is that much more at the focus of the performance.
My band did a show a few months ago and one of the opening bands played some of the most god-awful, mom- & dad-friendly, completely lacking in dynamics alternative rock and the bass player's body language throughout the show was like, the physical embodiment of the music: he started off by just standing still, then attempted to be entertaining by bouncing on the balls of his feet a little bit before sitting down on the drum riser for the remainder of the show. It pissed me off so much because why should I be excited or interested in your music if you can't? Like, I know your music is crap but at least TRY to convince me otherwise.
But yeah, with live performance I would generally encourage musicians to be physical and engage with the music as much as possible; it's a tradition that goes back centuries and for good reason.
David Hughes
Having energy is good but shit like in the gif is dumb, come on man you're making a fool of yourself.
Noah Thomas
What about this bassist?
Jackson Brooks
triple salchow
Andrew Perez
Its the player that makes 7/10 of the tone. And the nuances in wood selection can be heard easier through a clean sound. Its a very subtle coloring that many may not hear. I know i dont like basswood and how evos sound through it. Very bassy. But they are fine in a mahogany body to me. The fact that wood alters vibration is objective but how it affects tone is subjective.
Lincoln Butler
This. "Rocking Out" is a cheesy relic from the past. Baby Boomer shit
Matthew Morgan
Really nice, it just seems to me that you are rushing just a bit in the middle, also I would go a bit louder.
Parker Clark

Hunter Howard
Samefagging here but this is the case with joe satriani and crushing day. He says so in an interview.

When you perform live, isn't the whole point to have a fuck load of fun? With the exception of classical/jazz etc.
Brody Cooper

Wyatt Scott
Stop posting gifs please, it's 2017. Webms are a thing.
I actually could tell maple neck from rosewood on a YouTube video. It was subtle and I decided I didn't care enough about the difference to let it affect my decision. I suspect the glue on rosewood guitars has the effect rather than the wood.
The finish stuff is just marketing bullshit. Nitro finishes are bad finishes but traditional and require way more time to put on which is why they cost more. They wear off and look 'vintage' if you are going for that look.
Jaxon Gutierrez
Fuck off roman
Adam Flores
edgelord >trusting \sci 'tits' How isn't mass going to affect tone??? also, what kind of neck it has.
Evan Carter
I use pop punk as an example, but to any genre, when a musician plays live don't you want to see a memirable live performance. I understand alot of memorable performances come from emotion, but, the job of a musician, especially when you don't have e a complicated fill to play, is to hype up the crowd. Do any of you anons never move around when you perform live?
Kevin Jackson
If you are playing that basic shit you better do other shit while doing it to entertain me

How necessary is it to have an amp?
I'm in the market but I'm wondering if id just be happier with a helix/fractal or a amplifi tt through my expensive hifi speakers.
It made sense 70 years ago I'll admit and the amp I want , fender blues deluxe sounds fan. But its 2017, modeling is good and my speakers are great.
Tyler Barnes
how to stop calluses from falling off
Nathan Johnson
Hifi speakers =/= monitors
Carter Watson
all good enough modeling (aka a kemper) is pretty expensive compared to the amp you want. If thats the sound you are after (or you want to model your sound through pedals) and you aren't looking for all that ridiculous versatility modeling offers i don't see the point 2bh, just buy the amp.
Luke Wright
Stop playing, let your skin toughen up. You don't want to have calluses.
Dylan Bell
how to make the skin toughen up dont know if its actually callus, its the layer of skin thats falling
Jeremiah Peterson
By stopping playing once your fingers start to get calluses. If you keep going and they build up to the point that they fall off you'll have to start from scratch again.
