I'm recovering from surgery and I'm unbelievably bored. I can write out tabs or sheet music for any song for guitar, bass or mandolin if anyone wants. I think I'll charge 10 bucks an hour or we can negotiate something maybe.
I mean, it's probably gonna take me a few days and I'll probably lose ambition. That's a ton of chords
Juan Jones
does a guitarist who aims to get professional really have to have under his fingers every mode of the minor melodic scale, minor harmonic, some diminished scales etc?
Wyatt Anderson
So you're looking at 50 cents an hour?
Joshua Miller
Depends on what you mean by professional. Really the only type of guitar playing where you would need to know every mode and scale is jazz when improvising. Of course it's good to be knowledgable on these things but you really don't need to memorize everything. What I found that's more important is developing "note interval sense", being able to hear something in your head and play it note for note, and tell the difference in intervals between something like a diminished, perfect, or augmented fourth, which if you didnt know the modes and scales would really just mean playing in key without thinking about it.
Check out the fender one, its totally free and has lots of different tunings. Phone tuners are not so accurate tho
Ian Price
Is there any actual reason to tune to all fourths?
Asher Lee
Pitchlab is the best in my experience.
Jace Anderson
I used a green kitchen scothbrite pad to clean my fret wire am I retarded
they look like 100x more silver now though
Colton Cruz
Is bass easy if you already play guitar
Justin Allen
It's easy to play it with a pick. Learning to pluck at the same skill level takes a lot of practice
Caleb Sanders
Cool, thanks!
Ryan Cruz
is it ok to put a guitar solo on "wild world" where in the song structure it would fit
Liam Kelly
Hey, looking to buy my first bass. Currently already about to pull the trigger on a 5-string,but need a bit of help regarding amplifiers.I already have some decent audio-technica headphones, so should I just get a cheap vox headphone amp? I'll be practicing and live with roommates so I don't want to make much noise.
Carter Taylor
If you want to have an easier time visualizing intervals and making scale shapes more symmetrical.
Noah Reed
Just do it over the chorus and start out your solo by mimicking the vocal line, then go off on a tangent for a bit and then bring it back before you noodle too long and bore everyone.
Kevin Taylor
but theres another verse after the chorus
Jaxson Flores
Get an audio interface and download Reaper or something. Better than buying a tiny shitty amp
Brayden Robinson
or you could just not use an amp duh
Owen Reyes
So solo over the verse riff too, because that sounds cool when you change the riff halfway through a solo. Makes everyone's ears perk up. Then when that riff is done, just go back to playing rhythm and let the vocals come back.
I haven't listened to the song in a while and I'm not going to right now because I'm listening to this and don't want to interrupt it:
but just stick your solo in somewhere before the final choruses are sung.
I think if you stick a solo in and then go through another whole verse people start to get bored. Like in "Ride the Lightning." Great song up until the end of the solo. Then I'm just waiting for it to be over after that.
Angel Flores
That's how you develop a bunch of muting issues without realizing it. Amplification is important
Hunter Myers
No thats how you develop true skill The guys who always play unplugged and quiet fucking rip it when they get amped up
Jackson Wood
tips on finding guitars on craigslist?
Isaac Torres
for that, just practice on an acoustic along
Landon Hall
great will do that thanks
Cameron Jones
I think it's good to practice both plugged and unplugged.
Henry Myers
Who do I believe? Because I don't mind not spending $100 on amp stuff but already am spending ~$350 on the guitar.
Josiah Brooks
what guitar model is this?
Dominic Lee
>I think if you stick a solo in and then go through another whole verse people start to get bored. Like in "Ride the Lightning." Great song up until the end of the solo. Then I'm just waiting for it to be over after that. But hey, it works in "Santeria" on the other hand.
Alexander Myers
looks like a '59 pieceofshit
Aiden Thompson
It's good to practice with a completely clean setting, but you still need to be amplified. There is absolutely no benefit from practicing unplugged, all it does is make your mistakes quieter so they're harder to hear and correct. The guys who practice unplugged and rip when amplified have already spent years perfecting technique while plugged in.
This. Plus you won't hear yourself that well and will pick harder to compensate, the electric guitar has an amplifier to make you loud so you don't need to pick very hard. You can pick harder on an acoustic since how hard you pick determines the volume and overall dynamics.
James Hall
spotted the numale who picks softly and with edged pick let me figure it, you also own an ibanez or similar which happens to be set with really low action and 9s and your playing sound like that of a weak handed gentle girl
Camden Lopez
you are putting way too much thought into stupid shit
Bentley Smith
You're putting not enough thought into important shit. This is why you'll never get good
Elijah Fisher
no you think it wrong, thats why you sound like a swedish fag, let me spit on your face
Nolan Rogers
>fuck dynamics! There is only fortississimo!
Josiah Taylor
im not saying that. i play strong and confident but i can play gently too. what you do is not dynamics, you just play loosely
Evan Ramirez
I think you learn better dynamic control playing unplugged.
Aaron Gray
haha numale with shitty guitar touch
Levi Walker
I'm the user that's getting a bass and are Ibanez bad? I was buying an ESP LTD. Also, why does Guitar Center charge shipping for in-storepickup? Lame.
Julian Moore
i like it though :(
Ian Martin
That whole argument was about guitar mostly. Anyway Ibanez makes pretty good cheap basses in my experience
Wyatt Lee
uh oh. ive been practicing electric guitar unplugged for 9 months
Carter Hughes
Recently bought a qt pac112 and I suck. Cant even play Dmin chord, think my hand is fucked or something. Ist want to play some cool metal solos. How much do i need to train?
Ian Mitchell
haha faggot you probably have a bunch of muting issues
Elijah Long
i dont even know what that is
Josiah Thomas
come back in 12 years
Elijah Thompson
>implying he wont sell it to a pawn shop in 3 days
Lincoln Barnes
Shit niggy. You think so? I guess is time to contemplate suicide again
Nathaniel Jenkins
12 is a bit of a stretch, you'll be on a decent level in 2.
Justin Foster
whats the gayest song you guys know on guitar?
Jeremiah Evans
That one Snow Patrol song
Charles Allen
I can hear half of everything he plays right before he plays it. It's fucking uncanny. That's not a brag, that's just the nature of babbling around rigid scales like he does.
Thomas Sullivan
I only own squiers but they all have gotoh hardware and seymour duncan pickups am i a gay
Ayden Young
Fabulous Muscles. I'd say I win if it wasn't something any player could learn.
Lincoln Myers
I cant stretch my fingers. Thats the problem, i tried some exercises and doesnt help me.
Elijah Hernandez
keep practicing.
Chase Bailey
Are Pacifica meme guitars?
Jeremiah Richardson
just keep playing fucker, you'll figure it out, i felt the same exact way for months toiling away at it and a couple years later i can do that stuff in my sleep keep playing and you'll get something, even if you end up playing like joe strummer you'll get something
Aaron Robinson
Tonetta - Pressure Zone
Jeremiah Peterson
keep practicing do spider exercises, then once you can play them fine you try longer stretches like two frets with adjacent fingers
listen to him you can do it
no theyre good guitars. theyre yamaha afterall
Benjamin Thomas
This guy knows.
I've seen how lightly Yngwie picks on 8s.
John Scott
Fucking this. I got held back so fucking bad because I had the liberty to completely ignore muting. I didn't understand it at all. I thought metal guitar was sorcery because I didn't know how to mute whatsoever. I thought every power chord had to be hit exactly and that the people who did this were fucking wizards. It was a mess. I was shocked when I found out how easy it really was and how much I had missed.
Jason Wright
>If I reply to my own post enough times other people might think it isn't total shit
Gabriel Sanchez
fuck the fat swedish, ace frehley picks like he wants to break the string with the pick
Luke Reyes
No skin off my chode if you want to keep practicing unplugged. Go ahead and believe what you want to
Jace Reed
The fact you even responded means it's true. you got baited hard. I win you lose lol.
Landon Davis
>I thought every power chord had to be hit exactly and that the people who did this were fucking wizards
huh?
Christian Peterson
There's no winning or losing a samefag argument. I responded because clearly you were talking about the main argument of the thread that two people had just responded to my post about. Once again, believe what you want, it changes nothing
William Ward
Well to elaborate, very early on I thought that while playing power chords I had to keep my finger OFF of any strings I wasn't playing, and that to keep them from ringing out I had to very precisely pick only the three chorded strings while everything else was open. Then I discovered that if I just lay my finger across the open strings I can just whack at it freely without making horrible ringing. I.E. shit basic muting technique.
Justin Price
i should be thankful that i was told about muting early on but i didnt do it so intensely because i thought some of it looked bad
Eli Taylor
>this poor damage control
lol having a laugh now m8
Sebastian Moore
started the steve stine fretboard mastery series a couple days ago. in the meantime though i've been really obsessed with being able to improv well and learning modes in dif keys and it was to be expected but i sound terrible. is there anything specific i should practice or do besides continuing playing and not giving up?
Robert Smith
wait. so i cut off the last verse and solo over it instead?
do you can listen to the song now to see if you have a specific idea for it? i couldnt come up with anything decent
Justin Ward
just be urself
Carson Edwards
At least I learned some precision. Still sounded like shit since even if my pick didn't touch it they still rang. It made me think that playing fast punk music was a great feat of dexterity to not hit the open strings. So stupid.
Mason Nguyen
learn your favorite songs on guitar and take from your favorite artists and combine their make it your own sound
Cooper Perry
haha lol funny how we guess stuff we dont know
Isaac Rivera
learn solos from your faovrite guitarists so you figure how they use the scales musically
Jordan Nguyen
dont mind it the last verse is just repeating the same lyrics it starts with just a lead guitar playing the vocal melody, then the vocals come in the second half of the verse "babe i love u.... but if you wanna leave take good care", then chorus now im thinking if a solo during the whole verse up to the chorus would be boring. but a short solo of the lenght as the original would be like nothing
Adrian Morales
Lol I do own an ibanez, but I at with .12-.72.

>Depends on what you mean by professional what do i mean by professional? now i dont know. i want to be a good choice to hire of a guitarist as sideman or for studio work. yeah thats what i mean
i have decent interval sense and can play what i hear pretty well (though i mostly only hear pentatonics and major scale modes lol). but its not enough, i believe, to play just by ear over a part that is on such weird intevals key that i dont know previously.
it is not usually needed for the guitarist thats doing the guitar job on an album or as a sideman, to know these weird scales and modes? if i had to play a song like that, i would have to sit down previously and learn its scale.
