Can anyone help me find what instrument is playing between 2:01 and 2:06 ? I'm not sure if it's a mandolin or a resonator.

Can learning bluegrass improve my picking technique?
Jose Hill
What are similar songs to Blackbird that are good for a beginner finger picking? I wouldn't mind learning something else in that style, maybe classical
Honestly couldn't tell you, I've never heard the natural tone of an ESP guitar since everyone with an ESP is an effects kiddie. Makes me think they're secretly shit and you've essentially paid 5-6 times what you would have for a Squier with the exact same result.

Will i still be able to do freelance music jobs while working 6h a day at an office or something
Dominic Lee
probably not if you want to have a girfriend and kids and shit.
Colton Davis
6h a day in an office isn't too bad. lots of computer work can put stress on your tendons though, so try not to wear yourself out. if youre not a caffeine drinker already you'll probably become one
Samuel Gray
Nah, just want to live like a manchild
Parker Campbell
either youre using the term manchild incorrectly or youre going to be unsuccessful
James Murphy
Hello /gg/, I've recently started learning to play guitar on a shitty squier strat and I've been looking to get a better guitar. I was browsing goodwill.com and I saw this listing. I noticed immediately that the body of this guitar is similar to a jazzmaster and that the guitar only has a single pickup. It is also made in Japan apparently. Do you think it would play good or should I just pass? It's relatively cheap right now. Thanks.

Hm What about time? Will the free time left be enough to dedicate to being a good freelance guitarist/bassisst?
Manchild as like a grownup kid who just wants to have fun and not bother with kids Like most people i guess

wew double reply to the same guy
1. yes if youre only working 6 hour days you'll have plenty of time. consider most people work eight or nine hour days (7+1 or 8+1) plus an hour or two of total commute time.
although it depends a lot on what you mean by 'freelance'. if youre playing nightly gigs and have to get up early for work the next day, you might be in for a rough go. if youre just sitting at home practicing and producing you should have no problems.
2. that description just sounds like a regular person. a manchild imo is somebody who can't do anything for themselves and needs to be taken care of.
pass!
only buy from craigslist if youre shopping for a particular item and you happen to find it online and in good condition. i dont want to say craigslist/2nd hand stuff is bad, but ive bought enough stuff to know that 2nd hand impulse buys rarely work out well. do your research and find out exactly what kind of guitar you want (by going to a guitar store and testing out every guitar they have) BEFORE you start shopping.
Asher Smith
Alright I'll pass but unfortunately I can't use craigslist because I live in a pretty small town. I'll see if any pawn shops are selling guitars though
Lucas Hernandez
ebay will ultimately be your best bet for finding used instruments if you so choose
pawn shop guitars are often overpriced for the quality you're getting, but can be a bargain if you buy during a sale. a lot of times pawn shops are just selling stickers (ie will price guitars based solely on brand rather than playability or condition).
the most important part of the guitar is the neck; almost everything else can be fixed/replaced. if the neck is warped or the frets are a) too worn down or b) uneven then you'll be in for a serious and costly repair. if a shop/person is selling a guitar with a high action, theyre probably doing it to hide a problem with the neck of the guitar! be careful!

Is there any good guitar or bass related hentai doujins?
Hudson Sanchez
k on is pretty good
Nathan Fisher
ive saved up about 600 dollars to get a new guitar, and i want to get one with a post punk feel, any suggestions?
Ian Adams
Literally anything dude. Just get a nice chorus and reverb pedal to go with. J mascis jazzmaster would be a good choice
Ok, why wouldn't it be a good choice? I think it's overused, but it's a good guitar for that sound.
Luke Sullivan
I know you guys usually scoff at a lot of punk guitarists but I just wanted to know what's the best way to achieve a "punk" sound? What kind of amp and what kind of guitar? Please don't give me the whole "dude just play whatever really fast, that's real punk xD"
Wyatt Rodriguez
An overdrive pedal with the bridge pickup to full and the neck pickup to half will give you a nice punkish crunch.
William Stewart
Damn very jelly. Love that cab. How does it sound user?
Matthew Williams
Thanks, can you recommend some amps that'll help accomplish the job? Right now I'm trying on my shit little amp but it sounds terrible.
Bentley Lopez
Mesa Dual Rectifier is the famous punk amp.
Sebastian Ramirez
>$2,000
I thought most "punks" were dirt poor?
Chase Parker
nahh man they're rich
Carson Barnes
are they wearing underwear on their heads?
Jose Howard
No man that's under-armor
Parker Flores
Any opinions on the LTD Sparrowhawk?
I am looking for a sub 1200$ guitar.
Already have a Gibson SG
Hunter Reed
>armour fixed
James Ramirez
any bridge pickup through any kind of dirt of reasonable gain
Elijah Gray
Do you guys think guitar bands are going to make a comeback anytime soon?
Brandon Perez
What do you folks think about amps that come with presets such as the fender mustang III or GT 40? I'd like to get one but for some reason I feel like I'd just be cheating myself. Opinions?
Thomas Long
fine for bedroom practicing but it stops there.
Hudson Sanchez
>want to play punk rock >asking for amp recs just fucking pick an amp and play. tone doesn't matter, it's all about attitude, right?!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!
Cooper Green
You mean are guitar bands going to become top 40 again? Because that shit never went anywhere except for off the top of the charts
Jack Butler
There you are
Kevin Cox
Yeah, I guess that is my question.
Adam Miller
What do you mean by that? Would someone performing with such an amp be ridiculed?
Gavin Reed
Where do you perform?
Isaac Campbell
>There you are i've never been more perplexed by a post in all my life. literally what did you mean by this?
Kevin Ortiz
I don't perform at all. Why?
Jason Watson
I was waiting for the "punk" purist to criticize my post.
Jonathan Wood
it was a joke, m8. seriously though, you don't need to spend more than $500 on an amp to get a good punk tone.
John Lopez
Oh, sorry about that then. What sort of amps might help me get the right sound? Right now I'm looking at the Fender Champion 100 but I'm just really unsure.
stock speaker is really nice, albeit a little dark. replace it with a g12t for a brighter crunch.
Grayson Adams
Can an eq pedal make a metal tone "tighter"? I like my amp's dirty channel, the problem is that I can't get anything past classic metal.I want to get a more modern metal sound. I am planning on getting the mxr 10 band eq pedal because I heard that you can "open up" the sound of an amp's dirty channel by dialing the right settings. I don't want to run a distortion pedal through the clean channel, because as I said, I like the tone of the dirty channel, just wished it had more "oomph" to it.
