High guys my nuts too high should I take it out and shave it or can I change the intonation on the other end to get the right notes?
Eli Martinez
Riff challenge continuation
Nathan Carter
will post some riffs in a sec
Gavin Long
Gibson or Fender /gg/?
Austin Cox
The last thread was awesome. It looks like there are plenty of decent guitar players on Sup Forums, who typically are lurkers. It seems the most vocal, opinionated, and arrogant poster, I.E crazyfaga, is a gross misrepresentation of the true skill that lurks this board....
Jose Bennett
As far as solid bodies go I prefer Fender but the 335 is obviously superior to the Starcaster and Coronado. When it comes to dual humbucker guitars and guitars and other guitars suited for high gain playing I actually prefer PRS over Gibson but I'm too poor for either.
Justin Nelson
Are Jackson die cast locking tuners actually a locking tuner? Just bought a used one that had them and apparently they are normal tuners, and even looking online at headstock shots, just normal ones, not locking
Nathaniel Lee
Ya we need to do more of those battle things and have people give constructive feedback. It is interesting to hear everyone's styles and I also enjoy getting different opinions on my playing if it's valid feedback and not just stupid snarky shitposting from someone who doesnt contribute anything.
Lincoln Murphy
My first proper amp
Dylan Roberts
All memes considered, Gibson
Luke Green
If there's any tech death bros still around, have a listen to this. The drums are just made up on a drum machine and guitars aren't edited at all. It's just a quick little sample so I can hear what I have so far and figure out where I want to go with it. Idk where to go after the solo at the end. Yes I know the solo is sloppy, I just made it up on the spot and recorded it all in one take without practicing much. Any ideas?
I also have some more tech death riffs to contribute if anyone wants but none of them are recorded right now.
>inb4 le wanking xd I wanted to write a more technical song
William Taylor
Squire or epiphone?
Daniel Harris
This is fucking awesome dude, sick composition. I especially like that part at 1:23 I think it would be cool to bring back the intro riff as a verse after the solo
Jack Wood
Jazz or blues?
Luke Evans
jfc dude take better care of your fingerboard
Isaiah Reyes
This actually sounds pretty good
Henry Williams
This is how nitro maple boards go when played frequently. The finish wears off leaving the bare wood exposed.
I prefer it to a glossy maple fingerboard!
Christian Jenkins
Some of Epiphone's hollow and semi-hollows are actually legit good guitars and not budget Gibson. With Squier even if some of their guitars are decent for the price (Classic Vibe and Vintage Modified) they're still budget Fender.
Epiphone's solid bodies are always shit.
Brandon Cruz
thanks a lot guys. I'm not sure I want to go back to the verse after the solo, I'd like to have a middle part with some really heavy riffs and then go back to the verse, or not go back the verse at all and have the 2nd half of the song be totally different than the 1st. Idk. Appreciate the feedback though. Feel free to share some of your ideas too.
Dylan Cook
>nitro well there's your fucking problem
Angel Howard
Depends on the Gibson for me.
So many of them are just peices of shit, wheras generally any Fender is at the very least an okay guitar. Vintage (like thru to mid 60s) Gibsons are amazing if they don't have any issues, but it's less than a 20% hit rate on decent ones these days.
The one in that pic is absolutely flawless, which is the reason I bought it.
Juan Thompson
Eh, poly finishes just feel like plastic to me. But to each their own.
Angel Cruz
It is plastic. you people are retarded.
Aiden Sanders
gibsobs are boring and anyone who swears by them have no taste. at least buy a cool guitar if you are going to spend a lot on one.
Jose Peterson
Everyone post your guitar in detail No pics allowed
Camden Lopez
Should i get a hollowbody?, i want to play krautrock but i also want humbuckers to do stoner, so it seems hollow bodys have the cleans and can also pull thick riffs like queens of the stone age
Jayden Cooper
>i want to play krautrock and what the fuck is that supposed to mean? you probably aren't german and you sure as fuck don't live in 1960s west germany. what do you even mean by krautrock? i bet you think IDM and post-rock are real genres too
Ian Clark
Why so angry, champ? Mom won't let you play your Line6 Spyder at full volume?
I'm the guy who wrote the second half, here's a mix with bass and fake drums. I repeated the main parts and came in with a low harmony at the end. And instead of that 11 at the end of the second bar I played a 10 to keep the first half all in Diminished
William Gonzalez
fuck all you grandpas with your lame guitars. Someone post more tech death.
Luke Taylor
Thats not a proper amp m8.
Lucas Morgan
How to sound like Samuel Camps?
Colton Martinez
oh fuck ya that's more like it. That is awesome.
Bentley Clark
Sounds good. But needs to have heavier rhythm riffs.
Juan Ross
holy shit that playing. i'm out. i'm ashamed of having attention whored here for so long. not even commenting on the songwriting itself. bye
Jackson Sullivan
squier strat into metalzone into a cheaper-than-line-6-sypder combo amp
Ya I was thinking that. I play only in E standard. I want to get a 7 string since I hate tuning guitars down.
Easton Cruz
Hi watt stack single coils slight delay and reverb and compressor.
Tyler Roberts
i think that is a good list of importance plus chord theory
Lincoln Phillips
do you mean that in a good or bad way?
Lucas Wood
Fuck that m8 keep it six string. Learn to make heavy sounds. Its what i like to do. Try some fast muted riffs with a lot of power chords near the nut.
Colton Rivera
You don't necessarily need to tune down to get heavy. Inverted powerchords will get you there, especially when you have a bass to beef it up
Isaac Diaz
good. its good playing.
Brayden Diaz
what are some of your influences? also what drum program are you using?
Joshua Baker
that's....surprising
Evan Roberts
one guy that really knows to use scales and use them melodically all over the fretboard is Michael Schenker. most of the others rely on simple voiced blues boxes.
Lately Gorod, Obscura, Necrophagist, and the newest Job For A Cowboy. The drums are samples my friend recorded himself, I just arrange them in the midi editor
Michael Myers
cool thanks man
Ya I can do that. Thanks for the input, I'll try to do it more. this was downtuned though right? sounds heavy as fuck. C standard? 7+ strings?
Parker Thomas
Strats have a way of sounding like strats especially if they are both single coil.
Ian Smith
I don't think the drum sound lends itself too well to it.
It's all about contrast really. And you can just say fourths instead of "inverted power chords" really. I've heard one of the tricks is to have the bass play the fifth below instead of the octave below so that it basically makes "a huge power chord" but I haven't tried to see if that is true.
distortion pedals sound like distortion pedals. and it's just a different form of cheap than multifxs
Zachary Parker
/gg/ does need more metal indeed. I have been listening to Obsura a lot lately, a shame that Tom Geldschläger left, really liked his playing on Akroasis.
Caleb Perry
Oh ok cool. Were you the guy who replied to me with Disavow your God and Anticosmic Overload as warm up songs yesterday?
Anthony Morales
strats are a fucking meme look at that thin sound fuck strats and sgs, everybody should play 3pup teles and les pauls
This honestly never fails to get me to headbang. It was nuts when I went to see them live and they played this.
Nicholas Perry
>3pup teles
jesus fucking christ
Brandon Foster
>you can just say fourths instead of "inverted power chords" really. Technically the bass defines it. If it's playing the lower note it's a fourth, if it's playing the higher note it's an inverted powerchord Yup
Jack Russell
yes, to get the inbetween tones without having to deal with such disgusting like a strat
Hudson Stewart
Someone recap what the good Sammy did to get Crazyaga banned please?
Matthew Myers
its not fourths, its a fifth below calling it a fourth would change the root note and make it a different chord
Nicholas Ramirez
From that pic it looks like they aren't, although they may have just wrapped the strings to make it look neater for the photo.
Jose Hernandez
I'm trying to figure out what the guitarist plays after this part in the intro. He lifts his ring finger up and down.
he was mocked out after a duel with samuel campos and after that he got banned
Levi Bell
No, i'm just a bedroom guitarist Pinbackfag who likes their songs.
Jace Perez
>he dreams of sucking Rob Crow's dick LOL
Brayden Moore
Ya these guys do that a lot. Theyre really underrated imo
Dominic Fisher
>A Duel Explain with a little more detail?
Daniel Torres
I already have one of the pedals he uses. I'm on my way...
Robert Moore
someone posted a backing track for the two to improvise over
Henry James
CRAZYAGA DID NOTHING WRONG!
Adam Bell
And how exactly did that lead to him getting banned? Also I'd love to listen to that jam, are there any links?
Jacob Taylor
dont know how it relates to the ban part tho search for youtube on the previous thread and you shall find the bt
Caleb Perez
I reported him because he was whining on and on about off topic shit and his playing is atrocious. Once he was banned he got a bunch of kiddies from b to post dicks in gg
Brody Young
>Tom Geldschläger That dude is insane. Probably the most interesting lead player in metal. He seems to do better in a structured band format though, his solo project doesn't really click with me
