First for Telecaster best guitar

Second for Telecaster still best guitar

*ugliest guitar

>there are people who are bassists by choice

hold old were you when you realized that bass was the most important instrument in any band when utilized correctly?

people who choose bass are saints desu

autistic people go straight for the guitar, myself included

I know that a band needs it. it's still a fucking boring instrument that bad guitarists should be playing

I don't believe that's true. When bands are forming, there's always two or three guitarists and the most beta one gets relegated to bass

i know right, it should be that way

youtu.be/80dsyo2Ox-0?t=100

>it's still a fucking boring instrument that bad guitarists should be playing
spoken like a true pleb. it's only boring if you fucking play root notes

punk bands used it shittily and post punk bands realized that it could be used in a great way

but i mean jazz and prog and pop bands have been using bass in a perfect way forever

fucking even the strokes got it right. bassline on is this it is the most interesting part of the whole song

Tele thread?

>it's only boring if you fucking play root notes
Root notes don't deserve the hate they get. Sure it may not be flashy, but that shit in the right parts can make a song solid as fuck. Just make sure you're not the bassist so you can do the fun stuff

>bassline on is this it is the most interesting part of the whole song
maybe cause the song sucks

fuck that's beautiful. i wanna get a tele so badly. is yours just a standard?

...

Baja Tele.

>that shit in the right parts can make a song solid as fuck

oh for sure. but doing it for the whole song is boring as hell. you need to know where to use them

whatever. it has a good bassline

>22 frets
>3 pickups

Warmoth neck, quartersawn maple, dark indian rosewood fingerboard, 10-16 compound radius with the biggest stainless steel frets they do.

Body from a US Standard with pickups by Bare Knuckle, The Creamery and Fender, custom wiring gives Strat inbetween sounds in position 2+4 but bridge + neck in position 3.

What makes the rumble that much recommended ?
I know fuckall about bass amps and I'm probably gonna be always running either a Darkglass B7K/Alpha-omega through it.

cheap
loud

>tfw you will never get a walnut Rickenbacker

Why has my ear training been going so slow I got better than pleb ears but I want god tier ears. Or are most of you no ear fags?

>tfw they look so nice everyone assumes they're well-made, good to play and sound great
>tfw nothing could be further from the truth

I would love to take over Rickenbacker. I'd release far-eastern made budget versions of the 4003 bass and flood the market with them. Then stop making guitars entirely and just make basses but with proper electronics, truss rods that work like Fender truss rods, pickups strong enough to actually drive a fucking amp, fretwire that doesn't rub off the first time you fret a note and a host of other improvements.

Can someone tab out Ravens by mount eerie for me? I'll post a cute pic of my dog.

wtf are those symbols? is that for a sax or something?

>tfw i have just found a guitar style no one else except me has discovered yet
guitar aint dead yet mates

I'll get my first Tele tomorrow!

Its flute fingerings. I found an old one of my cousins and taught myself how to play it. Wind instruments where pitch is only minimally controlled by emboucher are way easier than guitar desu.

Reminder that the Gibson™ Les Paul™ is the 10/10 woman of guitars.

Thick curvy body, lewd neck, sensual moans.

I've played a Tele for 10 years and to be honest a super strat is probably going to be a better guitar 9/10. The Tele is an untameable lion though makes you really focus on tone.

I would if this song wouldnt make my ears bleed.

telecasters are plain janes with a small boobs and a big butt

ftfy

Nah, I'm a lefty!

you know, I guessed that

Here's an Epiphone Les Paul

heres ibanez

anyone here have a majesty? that guitar gets my dick hard

and Strandberg

>there are people who are bassists by choice
Depends on the song. Sometimes I like playing bass more than guitar.

Best high-gain overdrive/distortion? I am looking for a decent pedal under $150 that can get some sweet high-gain toanz. Also, best noise suppresor for the money? I am looking for one that doesn't suck out toanz.

did you know you can use glasses as a makeshift capo?
cause i certainly didnt until now

Why such a big radius?

You mean small boobs and a flat ass

Blackstar ht pedal. Boss noise pedal

no, that would be a strat

Left or right? Don't laugh.

Nah strat is a medium boobed and assed woman

None.

Neither

Thanks. Any other suggestions?

save your money until you can afford something that isn't shit tier

this applies to all purchases of musical equipment

>Blackstar ht pedal
Looks bretty good mante, I will check it out. Now, about the Boss pedal, I have heard mixed reviews about it. Have you ever had any experience with it? I was deciding between the boss one, and the isp decimator, leaning towards the decimator tho.

Ill sell you my vintage mxr distortion for 200 bux. Its the germanium one.

Rack noise gate is best. But pricey. Yeah the blackstar has a few variations of the pedal look into it.

user I made that mistake with a few "high quality" pedals. Didn't workout well.

Nah im good. Sure it sounds great but cant justify spending that much. Broke as it is.

I got relegated to bass because I owned a bass setup for my home recordings and when my band found that out the drummer recruited his best friend who acts like Billie Joe Armstrong and the Frontman for Sum 41 but doesn't commit because he gets "stage anxiety" and refers to notes as "1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th frets." Whenever we improvise jam he just plays the open E chord on his freeze pedal as he checks his phone. Im so glad I'm leaving these guys next month, they started talking about being a cover band for neighborhood block parties because it "pays well"

Dude, i remember high school, too. Sick! xD

Waiting Room?
Gimme Shelter?
Saw Her Standing There?
Less I Know The Better?
You're a Woman, I'm a Machine?
Higher Ground?
Sabotage?
O Katrina?
Reptila? (Bassline is equal to the Riff though)
Electric Feel?
Juice box?

What's the girl equivalent of the Jazzmaster?

Very lightweight, I gig with a Rumble 2x10 500 that's 34lbs. Too bad the tone is hard to dial in

Gibson Les Paul

Its from the 80s. Dont you want to be an 80s guitar legend?

Some hipster cunt with a resting bitch face that smoke long cigarretes.

Too bad I live in Indiana where the Chicago pop punk scene spills out here and now everyone reminisces and wishes they were still in high school .

Anyone have expletive with active basses? I have a Stu Hamm MiM Urge I from 1994 that buzzes and hisses like crazy, anyone have any insight on what the issue may be and how to fix it?

A trap

Thing with active preamps is, if you've got a noisy signal going into the preamp then it'll quite happily amplify that noise into a louder noise.

Shield all the cavities, connect all the shielding tape to the ground of the jack. Because if you don't ground the tape then you might as well not bother shielding the guitar.

Working bass players have better ears than working guitar players as its way worse if a bass player can't follow the changes.

[citation needed]

play root notes. sit in the corner, and shut your fucking mouth

>play one note at a time
>harder

Yeah, as hard as those 4 note jazz voicings and inversions.

Kek, bass players are literally below drummers.

getting this printed on a t-shirt now

i will fucking sue you

suck my black ass, fagballs

stop stealing shit jamal

Come on please its really cute

If youre a cute girl and post your lips as proof i will do it tomorrow.

Post penis if youre a boy.

So I want to start learning guitar, what do I need to do?
What is a good guitar for a beginner to buy, that's also cheap?

Hard way

>acoustic
>12 bar blues
>folk
>60s singer songwriter
>classical pieces

Easy way

>electric
>punk
>grunge
>rock
>metal

In that order.

Buy a beginners "my first guitar" songbook.

First things is save up about 1k

Lmao

What do you think about starting with a steel stringed acoustic guitar

>>electric
>>punk
>>grunge
>>rock
>>metal
No.
Genres have nothing to do with difficulty, OSDM or thrash metal are baby tier difficulty and completely not comparable to classical pieces.

Also where's jazz or funk ? Why not blues on electric ?

I could go on but the point's that it's not a very good list.

Right.

post your god machines

...

Go ahead.

Too much for me

Learn all basic chord shapes. Then play songs you like with tabulature.

Then learn how to move these basic chords across the fretboard. Then play some Van Halen and Amon Amarth.

>muh gibsonstraightintoMarshallwithnopedals pose

dadrocker detected

Same. I only use the channel switch footpedal of my amp.

But then again, im awesome and play some sweet shit with my fingers not my feet.

>I can't think beyond overdrive

enjoy your lifetime of blooz covers, 1970s rock tedium and pretending to be eric fucking clapton while trotting out yet another rendition of freebird in the corner of a bar

nice try yngwie

Ok Lucifer.

Besides footpedal i only use that little red dyna comp. The cleans are very nice for a "hi gain" amp

Lmao went to a bar in San Diego a few years ago and shit you not 4 old dudes playing covers and in the midst of one song where the solo comes in he plays freebird. God bless you old fags.

Youre welcome. Pro tip: if youre poor you can use electric guitar strings on an acoustic.
