loosen that kung fu grip. your thumb should just be resting, no need to choke out the neck. your thumb pivots your hand to flow over to I III & V. this will involve stretching and practice.
Nathan Russell
>your thumb pivots your hand to flow over to I III & V.
So, I actually move my hand? Aren't I supposed to keep the fingers on their corresponding frets at all times?
Caleb Hughes
Hey guys, do you believe in tonewood?
Ryder Thomas
Why am I so lazy
Austin Lopez
By the way, if I don't 'choke the neck', there's always buzz, specially on those frets.
Ryan Cook
>pic related is what i mean. for 1 finger 1 fret you may need to reach with your pinky and this pivot will help you get to the fret. over 5 frets your thumb should stay in the same spot while your hand moves. >i am a terrible teacher maybe this video can help you better than i youtube.com/watch?v=8F0pVPr4VYw
Zachary Turner
Adam Neeley (professional bassist) actually recommends the opposite: keep fingers diagonal to fretboard and straighten the wrist.
Who the fuck am I gonna believe.
Josiah Morris
see what works for you, good luck.
Colton Anderson
theres buzz becaue you dont press the strings enoff you shouldnt press the strings by pressing your thumb against the neck you should be able to fret even without the thumb, the thumb isnt to make any strenght

won't go there again.

entitled much? Learn to do it yourself, mongrel.

cant fret two strings with one fingertip fuck no baby hands

Easton Gomez
tfw ring finger joint doesn't bend enough for high e string to ring out in A Shape barre chord
Grayson Murphy
Honestly, the first five frets are kinda iffy on a bass. I don't notice any speed/fretting difference when switching from to thumb towards headstock to thumb towards first string. The first method however is much more comfortable. But again that might depend on how big are your hands, and whether you're playing 4/5/6 string.
Thomas Hill
Seeing this actually made me go practice. Thanks user, I'll try to remember this everytime I don't want to do anything.
Andrew White
Well, when I point the thumb to the headstock, it's more comfortable but harder to stretch the hand. If I angle the wrist and point the thumb upwards, I can stretch the hand more but it really tenses up my arm and hand.
Nathan Flores
>complains about great service The last fucking thing I wanna do is wait a week for my guitar.
example: the first C he does he seems to be adding a note with his third finger? but that would throw my understanding of theory out the window if he was adding that note or is he simply muting the string?
Lincoln Nelson
Reading this made me feel fuzzy. Youre welcome user. Cheers m8 you will get better if you practice.
Colton Richardson
you fucking faggot
Jackson Rogers
he says d minor its the part of g2 d3 a5 (stringfret)
Evan Watson
That kind of flexibility improves over time if you work on it. Like those guys who do yoga so they can suck their own dicks.
im trying to learn gootar using rocksmith but i feel like fry in the holophoner episode. my stupid fingers dont do what i want them to and i cant follow all of the notes in rocksmith. i cant translate rocksmith note position to hand position is rocksmith bad or am i autism

Carter Wilson
It shouldn't, since you're just stretching your fingers

What are the differences between acoustic guitar sizes like dreadnaught/concert? I'm a super beginner and I want to be able to play upbeat jazz/ bossa nova on it
Lucas Allen
i too, find google very difficult to use
Adrian Gray
Same because I haven't found an answer, "Bigger means louder, smaller means not as loud" like so what does that mean and will it or will it not suit the type of music I want to learn
That "rule" isn't even true. If anything, bigger guitars tend to be more bassy and boomy, and smaller ones are brighter and punchier. Big guitars like jumbos/dreadnaughts can still be very dull and comparatively quiet, depending on a lot of factors.
As a beginner, you shouldn't be too concerned with the "perfect" guitar for a certain sound/style, because you haven't developed that preference yet. Go to a store and try out a bunch of shit, pick one that sounds good to you, and more importantly, feels comfortable.
it's not really bad, plenty of good guys do it. i anchored since i started playing and then learned how to play without anchoring. i can go back and forth now. the only difference is i feel more 'loose' when i play without anchoring, kind of hard to describe. i'd say it's worth learning how to play without anchoring though, just by focusing on picking i improved a lot.
Liam Martinez
>buy cheap strat clone >fret edges are all sharper than my knives >closest guitar repair shop is 2 hrs away >already fucked up my Rogue acoustic with a nail file and created even more dead frets JUST
Ian Clark
so buy the proper files..
Jonathan Gutierrez
I wouldn't call it flat-out bad, but I don't think it helps any. And I noticed that with my acoustic, if I anchor, there's a big change in tone that sounds really thuddy and the overall tone gets duller. Never noticed that issue on electric though.
Jason Moore
any tips/videos for fast arpeggios/"sweeps" on bass ? especially for the right hand when ascending, the only technique I've found is to use the index's nail as some sort of pick and glide across the strings but it's kinda hard to switch between that and regular bass plucking
>if I anchor, there's a big change in tone that sounds really thuddy and the overall tone gets duller. that's because you're preventing the top of the acoustic from vibrating
William Williams
Hey guys Im wondering if this setup would work Guitar -> usb interface input -> laptop Then Usb interface output -> rca(red white) to 1/4 inch adapter -> amp If i do this would i be able to send my signal from fl studio out my amp? I also need the adapter as my interface only has one 1/4 inch input and the rest is rca. Id like to do this to use all the pedals in fl instead of dropping all my very limited money on analoh. Is there anything blatantly wrong or anything i need to know?
Jose Ross
Finally got my custom Mauler Dually 2x15's last night! Loaded them up with Eminence Delta-15A's I got from a friend of mine who could get them at cost, which helped keep cost down. Paired with the Super Bassman these cabs howl!
Christian Lewis
lol idk. Make sure the output of the interface isn't too high. There might be a lot of lag too.
Try it and let us know if you blow your amp.
Aaron Taylor
Pic uploaded wrong, here it is again
Xavier Bell
The Fender, if you can stand the color. I don't know why he's calling it a Squire. It's a good Jap guitar.
Noah King
A guy told me it should be fine as long as do proper gain staging and leveling. I can control the output of my interface easily. Why would i blow my amp? Volume?
Luis Thomas
You should be fine to be honest, I was just joking. As long as you have everything set up right at least. Keep the volume super low and work your way up once it's all set up.
Owen Richardson
bump
Ian Rodriguez
I was not a fan of the contemporary strat from late 80s early 90s. The locking nut ate strings like a motherfucker and the trem was not good at all.
Dominic Kelly
try it out at first slow with a metronome then work yourself up from there. There's no cutting Corners with the proper sweep/arpeggio
Caleb Cooper
The reason I decided against recommending this one was that tremolo Floyd Rose copies are Infamous for being utter failures
Carter Martin
Oh okay thanks. One more thing. Why dont more people do this? Does digital sound worse? I have pirated fl producers ed. so i have like 50 pedals, all the vsts, etc
Xavier Sanchez
My brother had one of them, not sure which trem was on it, think it was a Kahler. They sold it as if it was a floyd rose style trem, but it doesn't have a recession for it.
Purists and autists who wouldn't recognize good modeling.
Kayden Morris
Found a picture of another one and it was indeed the Kahler trash trem.
Kayden Walker
what are some fun songs to play that are 2010+
Samuel Hill
Problem is, I can't find and don't know what the proper right hand technique is.
Anthony Williams
slant the pick and sweep it
Nathan Long
Dont anchor. Get used to keeping your hand floating
Parker Young
In this case, there's no locking nut. It will act like a regular trem. I never had problems with my '85 and I used to work it with stupid shit like scoops, warbles and dive bombs.
Ryder Adams
>that volume knob placement right next to the strings
strats are such repulsive hackery. the only useful reason to put it that close is volume swells and most people with half a brain will just use a volume pedal for that
Sebastian Brooks
how long you been neeting
Hudson Gutierrez
Kahlers arent the worst but a weird issue they had was they would keep in tune if you lowered the pitch but if you lifted the bar and went back to normal it would get slightly out of tune. But it was easily fixed by lowering pitch and going back to normal. This is why almost every slayer solo with whammy work usually ends on a dive. Kerry king is readjusting and getting it back in tune.
Aaron Baker
Well, the one my brother had ate strings and wouldn't stay in tune if you barely touched it.
Isaiah Jones
>i dont have enough hand dexterity and need to pay money for a pedal to correct my shortcomings
