Post 'em, boys

i don't get why would anyone want a relic guitar
fender has been pumping out relic customs left and right, whos buying them?

>whos buying them
Middle-aged amateur players with disposable income who fantasize about touring and playing shows but will never come close to a stage. The meme is real, as it often is

>Being right handed
I know when its a righty playing without even seeing them, desu

Pure plebbery

nice. is this the steve vai version?

Not E minor. It's A Mixolydian with a detour in C Major

Nice b8 m8 I r8 8/8

I want to play well.

You can't unless you have a very high IQ

post your favourite amp settings

me too

Lows 11 Mids 7 Highs 10 on Mesa Boogie Mark VI Gain on 10, Modern Channel

Depends really, but Mids always turned to 10.
Sounds like a wash of noise, like a wave...beautiful

don't even get me started on the kid prodigy videos

>Wanting to play plank wankery
Spotted the pleb

This kind of playing doesn't even sound good, it's just for show. Fucking embarrassing

Could someone please explain me what do each setting serve for? I guess this sounds stupid but I can't tell real difference on my shitty amp.

what makes you good at guitar is not what you learn when you play. is to understand what you are actually playing (musically).
writing and playing your own material (should it sound good) trumps any cover even if its michael angelo batio shit from tabs

Nah, you don't even need to know what you're playing if it's sounds good.
It's music at the end of the day, it's supposed to sound good. There are great musicians who know little theory.

most good musicians are classically trained
you have so many good guitar players nowadays and not many albums or songs worth listening to.


if people weren't occupied on pentatonic masturbation all the time then we would see better material coming out

It's not about theory though.

It's about knowing what you're playing and actually trying to make it sound good rather than just aiming for an arbitrary number of "notes per second".

For example:
Wanking like shit doesn't count for anything when your bends are completely out of tune and lack any vibrato.

>most good musicians are classically trained
Lmao
>college fags actually believe this.

Let me guess, you go to music college and need to justify your worthless education?

Get the fuck out of here, the opposite is true in almost all cases.

>you have so many good guitar players nowadays and not many albums or songs worth listening to
Yes, because there are some things you can't teach

It doesn't count for anything when it sounds like shit. Playing like that is the reason guitar based music is pretty much dying.

No one wants to hear some fucking idiot playing a hundred notes a second that sounds like shit.

Playing like that should be for practice only(if that), not for actual records.

>awful string bending and vibrato technique

fucking lol'd out loud

not a college fag. but i recognize why joe satriani can improvise on any piece of music you can give him. its because he actually knows his shit.

bb king said: its about the notes that you don't play

i don't care for satriani or bb king, you fucking pseud with the appeal to authority as if it means anything
their music isn't the greatest either, they're technically good guitar players, but the music isn't all that great to listen to

and yes, silence is important, everyone knows this

no need to worry about losing value from wear as nobody will be able to tell if you ding it by accident, otherwise it's gay.

The same people who buy ripped jeans
The same people who go bald by 23
The same people who are middle aged and upload them playing some shit cover badly onto youtube recorded in their bedroom
And John Mayer.

You know they sell Vans shoes with "skateboard Ollie" holes in them? It's just a hole in the front like you'd get if you skateboarded for an hour. And they cost more than the ones with no holes.

you can dislike their both but saying that their music isn't good is.. idk

Off

You don't know what... You don't know anything? I know.

>froosh pictures but not froosh
Just stop.

saying someone music is shit based on subjective view is wrong.
its like saying you can make good art without color theory

Froosh is a part of everyone in /gg/ now. We all study his teachings.

No it isn't wrong, you fucking moron. You read someone else say it's wrong and now you're saying it's wrong because you're a dumb cunt.
There is objectively good and bad things.

You're a dumb fuck though, you might learn one day

I could probably name thousands of artists who had no formal knowledge and their work is widely considered to be masterful, etc

>Not posting pictures of him mid 1994

This is the most autistic "stop disliking what i like" post i'vr ever seen. "Color theory?" What kind of retard would actually form that thought, see it as ok in conversation and theb actually use it?

stop being swayed by shit that people say in interviews

"herb derp i only knew the C chord when i was 30 xd"
its just humble bragging. of course they knew music theory

clyp.it/4gnhkk1y

Hey guys I made this backing track. (please rate & criticise!).

So just to see how many posers vs musicians are out there, who can write something cool over this backing track? Bonus points for a video too.

Whatever you say nu male

Go listen to Steve Vai or something

hey whats wrong with watching concerts and fantasizing

boxes can't contain my meme quest

>its like saying you can make good art without color theory
>monochrome

had it faded a bit already or i am seeing things

you mean like this one
youtu.be/4j5fn4ePwZw

thats my problem, i can only remember individual techniques like those but i forget my cool phrases and licks, and cant improvise anything worth
unless i see someone playing before or theres a starting melody, then i keep watching and improvising in my head and thinking what the guitarist should be playing that fucking pleb

play on slow tempo. like ballads

2:28 what is the song
youtu.be/7ZMIO18CYkg

>that BC rich meme guitar


nice dog slippers senpai
looks fine to me

its doing 12ºC, had to use them

>i forget my cool phrases and licks
As soon as you play something good, play it again quickly. Then, whip out your cell and record it.

>anything higher than midrange

Stay pleb

>>that BC rich meme guitar
It's the only 10 stringed guitar that's been mass produced.
I'll probably just slap five more tuning pegs on a 7 string though, since it seems like it's out of production and the second hand prices are jacked.

what kinda shitty knobs do you have on your shitty amp?

what song is that
clyp.it/an41pevo

He probably has some shit Fender one
They usually have:
Gain
Treble
Mid
Bass
Maybe reverb

I have a Fender 15r next to me right now and it sounds like its underwater

>he's still doing it

lmao I'll need to see what he says tbf he could have something alot worse.

I have a fender frontman 40w, it doesn't even have a mid range control! I use a zoom g2.1u REPRESENT! fx pedal so it doesn't matter too much. Just don't have the $£€ for something pro at the mo.

I bought the meme amp. I can already feel the neckbeard growing.

post >yfw taylor swift is the new van halen

I have no idea lmao. Sounds like it could be eye of the tiger played badly.

I want a churro

Volume 10 Volume 10 Tone bypassed patch cable between input 2 and 3

It's like you fags like getting tone suck through a passive tone stack

no need to be abrasive mr toan boner

You and the rest of /gg/

I can't see shit out of this mask lol

Rate harshly plz

clyp.it/gw4cntcm

lol its Alienhead

im sorry I haven't heard that riff before :(

ur so dumb

Alright, so i got a fucked up idea. I was looking at hoffman turret boards and I saw he had one for a blues jr. As you can assume the blues jr is manufactured with a pcb, but this would replace the pcb with point to point. You lose the solid state reverb. So, my fucked up idea.

Scratch build blues jr
Turret board
Most of the common mods
Typical upgraded transformers
6v6s instead of el84s
Add tube driven reverb
Add tube driven fx loop
Bigger reverb tank
2x12 tweed cabinet

I could be spending this time and money to make a bassman or a sloclone or an ac30 or something.

It's the

EYE OF THE TIGER

IT'S THE THRILL OF THE FIGHT

just buy a zoom g3 and a home teather

fuck blues jrs buy a tweed deluxe

But that'll be a lot less money and effort to be just as disappointed in the results

I have a tweed deluxe i built last year.

then why the fuck you want a bullshit jr? are you retarded?

post gear you bought with your own money and not your mom's

That's the fucked up thing, i already own 2 blues jrs.

>tfw the amp you want is on reverb for local pickup only and it's a 7 hour drive

Just wanted to say that those legs are kinda cute. Hairy guys are hot.

sell one and mod the other as you plan on

fuck off crazyaga

>tfw cant remember if it wasnt even too dark to begin with

Maybe i'll sell them. I don't even like them that much, even modded. I just use them when i need a lower volume clean amp, i usually run them in stereo live. They don't get much use.

hello sister how long has it been
i see youre still the ugly one haha

Seriously though, great clean tone, the effects work fine (haven't tried all 50 yet) and the distorted channels also don't sound bad.

just found a new joe satriani instrumental album
or is it paul gilbert? i can't tell lol its all the same crap

Guys for bedroom playing/practice, should I go for Fender bassbreaker 7 or 15? I use a shitty Fender Mustang I, not so happy, heard the bassbreaker 7 in the store and loved it, but it didn't have the 15.
Thanks

how does it work the modes of other scales

do you know the pentatonic scale? and how to apply it to major and minor keys?

If it's only for bedroom practice then either will be fine. You don't need a lot of power to play by yourself.

yes

how does he buy all those nice gear

I don't have a lot of experience with tube amp that's why I'm asking. The 7 sounded very saturated at a relatively high volume which was good but I like to play clean a lot.
I saw the 15 has a master volume control which sounds like what I need, correct me if I'm wrong
