I'd buy that desu

>tfw strings are dead but have a Floyd

I unironically want this.

I used to play classical guitar all the time now I hardly have the motivation to pick it up. Anyone have any songs to rec that I might enjoy playing?

youtube.com/watch?v=jKSg8t4zyLg

The pickups are so close together. Maybe one humbucker would have sufficed.

already know that one, good tune though. Used to love pretty much anything by Bach.

im sorry

lol you good senpai

What's the best place to start in learning NST? I'm already competent at playing different scales, modes and chord voicing in standard.

>tfw getting better

idrtf

>tfw getting worse because youre losing interest in guitar

Learn some California guitar trio and LOCG songs. The tuning is mostly a meme and just another way for Fripp to stroke his ego tbqh

lmao dat voice

Can you stretch seven frets starting at the nut? No? Then don't learn NST.

at least do some spiders and bends so you dont lose it

Hi /gg/, I want to start recording my own shit, just for funsies. Seems like I can get a good mic, Shure SM-57 is only 100 bucks

Does anyone make their own music on PC? I know I will need mixing software, not sure where to start there. Is this going to be more trouble than it is worth? I don't think I'm going to share it with anyone, this would be more for fun

its probably your ears, sounds fine here

i made this with just a sm57 copy and reaper
soundcloud.com/samuelcfaria/wild-world

Jesus, can't you even afford an SM57? They're popular because they're so cheap.

hes a literal favela dweller.

Why does he give such great advice Sup Forums?
I wish his songwriting was good tho

SopaMacaco57

tfw cant find a download for ace frehleys anomaly deluxe

Macaco pls, stick to singing in Portuguese.

box.endurehosting.com/contents/public/Just A Jam.mp3

I know this isn't incredible or anything I was just trying my hand at recording. Just thought I'd share it maybe see what you guys think. Haven't played much in the last few years and wanted to get back into it.

vocaroo.com/i/s1EIrDcuHiQU

Wrote a riff I really love using Emaj7 and Amaj7. I don't know anything about these jazz fag chords so now I'm unable to turn it into a full song. Help.

You shure cannot go wrong with sm57. Seriously, its the first choice for recording distorted guitars for most enginers even with unlimited budget. That says something. It fits so great to the mixt usually even withouth any postrpocesing (except maybe some HPF on EQ).
About software, most daws are almost identical in functionality. As a beginner, if you have not buy your first soundcard, just buy some from brand that also make some daw and give CDkeys for limited versions with they soundcard. For me it was presonus and and I have no regrets.
Also, if your room is small and amp is on the floor, mic stands for drum mics are great choice.

Is this streching some meme here, or is is usual "prog" metal wankery?

>mic stand
>for amp on the floor
pleb pls

A what would you use? Behringer amp? Actually, that works too but cost more then mic snad and have no other function.

haha good stand
id use a foam over a shoe box

You should see most of Adam Jones riff shapes

NST is (largely) tuned to perfect fifths (i.e., seven frets). You need to be able to stretch that far to use it.

Try going into Dm7 or just any jazzy chord and see if you hear another chord come after it in your head. Try to play that chord.

just use the regular key of Emaj

What key is it in?

Then just try out diatonics until you find something that sounds good.

it's finally out lads youtu.be/v4ZFyEbRnlQ

Jesus, that bass is bigger than you.

not bigger than my p*nis tho

Prove it.

this is bullying, please stop

no homo pls

>trying to learn another brick in the wall solo
>bust a string
FUCK

not even strings like pink floyd lol

You started talking about your dick.

you started talking about men

I went and bought a reverend guitar last week
damn thing's a beauty and can take hours of me going ham with the wilkinson trem without going out of tune

That's been my approach but no luck so far.
Doesn't sound as good.
How do I know what key it's in? Also what are diatonics?

the key is E because these two chords' notes are within the emaj scale
diatonics are the maj/min scale and greek modes

No, that was you, just now.

It's alright, Samuel. Many manlets have met with great success in life. Just not you.

What's the riff?

one sec ill record it

Why are minutemen songs so fun to play?

Should I get a Epiphone SG G400 or save up a bit for a cheap Gibson SG?

my left thumb is hurt, do i have carpal syndrome

I'd get the SM58. They are basically the same unless you have 'golden ears' or something and you've got the shield so you can sing into it.

clyp.it/rqdsrvk4

>save up a bit for a cheap Gibson SG
only option

work on tightening up your transition. play these two until it sounds smooth. No point in worrying about another chord until you have these two solid. Good start!

More than likely yes.

Are you saying I need to play it faster or add something in between the chords?

pls not

unless your intent is to have a rest between the chords, make the slide between them quicker. if you intend a rest, then maybe let the final note of each ring out so it sounds more intentional?

Thanks. I'll experiment until i find something that works.

Those are usually decent so if that's what you're going for, go ahead

i'm all about that bass

You can find them used for decent price. My Craigslist had 2 in the past month for ~$200

here's my slutstang, i just refinished it with nitro and it has a bill lawrence 500xl bridge pickup and a gfs lipstick in the neck. i have another black pickguard to put on it when i'm satisfied by the pickups

the volume difference is way too huge between the bridge and neck. any way to unfuck that, or is it just an impossible pickup combination?

(forgot pic before)

this looks like a strat to me

what the fuck is this

Except for your weird voice and performance it's pretty good. Try filming random shit in the favela instead. Would you please move on now? I never liked this song to begin with.

oh it is a strat body, forgot i was thinking about putting a mustang neck and changing the scale length on it at one point and named it that, but never put the mustang neck on it
strat with gfs lipstick pickup in the neck and bill lawrence 500xl pickup in the bridge

>Would you please move on now?
^ YOU SHUT YOUR DICKSUCKER RIGHT THIS MINUTE

- NEVER LEAVE US SAMUEL-

There's always surgery.

gays out

/gg/ is a gay general, we're into boipussy 'round these parts

how can the vocal performance improve
will move on after shilling it up a bit here

that's too true
>people think I play the axe to get pucci
>they don't know about the superior boipucc

>how can the vocal performance improve
Sing in Portuguese, or just stop singing.

stop trying to sing in english, its never going to work.

>how can the vocal performance improve
Again, surgery.

You should seriously be ashamed for creating this fucking abomination, it's one of the ugliest guitars I've seen in my life, people sure as hell won't even notice the difference in volume if you show up with this peace of shit.

>tfw only a Gibson™ is good enough

>every day Samuel asks what he can improve upon
>every day we tell him to stop singing in English

That would look fine if you replaced the pickguard.

>rainbow strap means i'm gay

want to know how i know you're a closeted flaming homosexual
i'm replacing the pickguard after i figure out the pickup situation, retardo

if youre serious about music save up for something higher quality. you can get a decent-to-good gibson sg for under 800 bucks if you search smart

There's no reason you can't have a lipstick in the neck and a humbucker in the bridge.

You just need a higher-output lipstick and/or a lower-output humbucker.

yeah i already have a black pickguard i'll put on it after i figure out what pickups. i'm thinking the bridge pickup has got to go, just don't know what else to stick in there. i think i'll replace the lipstick too, don't really like how low the output is

Can you guys give me some advice? I'm looking to buy a new electric but I'm more of an acoustic guy. I want something that works well with classic rock/country in that it has a fairly deep and twangy sound, but I still want to be able to get more warm and mellow tones out of it as well. Was thinking about a Chapman ML-3 Traditional 'cause I'm poor and that's about as much as I would want to spend. What do you guys recommend?

It makes you look gay or like a raging pothead, depending on hair length.

Tele with the tone rolled off.

>>rainbow strap means i'm gay

That's exactly what it means though.

>tele
vomit
