Why are the best guitarists always kind and humble?
m.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZMCofdwLdw

It's a nice feeling when you stop caring what people think and just play what excites you personally.

whats with the hsh meme

idk. sss is the best.

thats the only way to be!

very true

clyp.it/sesoi2zj

It's the most versatile pickup combination out there.

Coil tap your bridge and neck pickups and you've effectively got a SSS

I can't stand middle pickups
They are right in the way of my pick attack

Mini tubescreamer or a ts9?

I play blues/rock/punk with a fender frontman 212R and a MIM tele.

Either lower it all the way or stop picking like a retard.

...

p90s are the way to go imo

By that logic the most versatile is HHH

pretty sure the circuits are identical.

actually true. My buddy has a limited edition Epi LP with 3 humbuckers. Thing is a beast but the 3 humbuckers just look a bit silly to me. But that's just personal preference, so I see how people might dislike the look of HSH

...

That was shite and so pretentious it made me cringe

I reckon the split H doesnt quite get the sound of a true single coil

if you roll back the volume know to about 6 or 7, it's pretty damn close.

I have my 8 string set up with coil split humbuckers, and it gets pretty stratty sounding

P90s are the best guitar pickup
You realize it after you've been around the block a bit

It's just a juiced up single coil.
it's good for ultra-cleans, but that's about it.

P90s compress the fuck out of the signal, so unless that's your desired effect, it's gonna sound like smashed garbage.


Fuckin' pretentious tone snob hipster
Show me your dick

It's well established that Les Pauls are shit nowadays. How would I go about getting a good one though? I've never owned one, and I've wanted one for a while. What sort of year and series models should I look into?

there's lots of great options out there

If you've got $$$, buy a vintage Les Paul to see what the hubub is really about.

Otherwise, buy a Tokai Love Rock

Or just get a mid range to high end epiphone.

omg SOOOO le cringe right?

Go to a shop and actually play some
Pick one that FEELS good

What kind of bass guitar should I buy (brand, pickups)? I generally play rock but I'd like something that's versatile.

youtube.com/watch?v=tV39-k8Uoo0

Jazz bass and P-bass-types are pretty much good for everything.
What's your budget? Squier classic-vibe and vintage modified are pretty good for the buck.
The Jeff Berlin signature from Cort is also really good, but costs a bit more

I something of good value for the money. I'd say 400-600$. I also want to get this amp: musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/ampeg-ba115v2-1x15-bass-combo-amplifier

I co-own a Takamine acoustic bass with my brother but it's not very useful.

One of the high end squiers or a mexican fender then.
Also keep an eye on the used market. There are often some guys selling for way lower than the normal price, but you need to be quick.
And don't be afraid to try some more unknown brands, at that price most of it will be decent.

Also nice trips

Thanks for the advice.

Eastman is making solid bodies now...

Current gibbys are nice just way overpriced.

Second hand MIM strat, can always sell it on and not lose any money.

yeah those strat basses are great!

*blocks your path*

Ngd! I bought an affinity jazzmaster today for 96 bucks as a cheap little backup guitar.
12 inch radius on the neck is super comfy.

what's he drinking, tonewood?

>17-81 feel too thin for me

210bpm 16th notes, I can do faster than 210bpm on some simpler shorter licks

It actually makes me feel good because of the thought of me being superior to other people, is this wrong?

nahh, that's what just what the cup is made of.

bom dia guys look at what just arrived on my mail

Sorry, used to answering that question a million times. There used to be a line in the OP about it.

>look at what just arrived on my mail
a Latin twink?

your progenitress' vagina

t. Latin twink
nice glasses btw

are those genuine

Reminder that wood resonates at different frequencies

all the SM57s in this country are super overpriced and there's nobody selling second hand
how am I supposed to record my boring frippertronics ripoffs now

Reminder that everything resonates at different frequencies

It really rustles my jimmies that Ibanez pretty much only put floating trems on their HSH guitars because they're one of few companies who makes HSH guitars at decent price points. If Ibby made a HSH RG with a retro style Floyd like the Gotoh 510 and locking tuners I'd buy 10 of them

this this this this this
if it doesn't feel good simply do not buy it, doesn't matter if it's a 5000$ les paul with a 50% discount

check Fernandes and Cort, their quality has improved greatly in the recent years

not

thats not a floyd thats a strat type tremolo

Can you suggest me any easy but fun clean songs to play?

la bamba

damn you sound annoyed in both of them

*shills a Chapmeme*

that is punk isnt it

Before this gets deleted... Why does this picture always get deleted? I don't get it.

spam

Does anyone have any experience with Guitar Craft/Circle and/or New Standard Tuning?
I found out there's a beginners course happening in Germany in February and I'm thinking of applying.

Does anybody else hate Will's Easy Guitar?
I feel bad that he's having health issues but he's always so pointlessly rude, not to mention he's always trying to manipulate people saying "he's gonna talk about them on his channel with 85K subs". He's the prime example of an American asshole.

Anyone played one of these? I bet they're shit.

thinkin of gigging with glasses

nigga why are you naked

I hate your stupid facial hair. You're not Kirk Hammett, go away.

im shirtless not naked its hot here

>You're not Kirk Hammett
fortunately

you have very kissable lips, you know that?

Open Mic tonight.

Going to play:

Willow Tree by Mickey Newbury
Ghost Riders by Burl Ives
Man Needs A Maid by Neil Young.

Wish me luck lads.

>Fortunately
>Faggot Brazilian talking shit on ANYONE

Squier classic-vibe and vintage modified are surprisingly good. I got one and it's pretty legit for the price point,and I got it during a sale.

>Man Needs A Maid
Be sure to bring the full orchestra

$100 for a microphone is very cheap

luck user!

That looks like an overweight woman. The guitar, I mean.

played one of these and it was honestly great. I fucking hate him and the brand and I hate myself for liking it but it felt fucking great.

no not the guitar

> ordered some stuff I actually needed from Thomann
> receive an email saying I'll get a 10 euro voucher for each item I review, max 50 euros in total
>"oh boy, free shekels"

I used the voucher and bought this for about £80. I always wanted a classic style Tele and I figured I could always return it if it sounds like dogshit. The surprising thing is that it doesn't. The pickups sound decent and the fit and finish is acceptable apart from the frets being totally unpolished. Should be an alright instrument after I set it up.

Fucking ugliest wood grain I have ever seen.

kek

Elaborate

is that a fishing sinker

yeah when I was playing my girlfriend said it looked like a cheap ass ikea table. Hard to disagree

If I'm not mistaken Chapman guitars are made by World Music Corp in South Korea, which makes guitars for a lot of other brands like Gretsch, Schecter, PRS, etc. Chapman just does the marketing and gives WMC the designs.

it's the tag

I heard that too. They also have an Indonesian factory now where some other big brands are made.

Are Wilkinson stratocaster bridges any good?

No

they are decent, like any korean-made gear
will be enough for you unless you're joe fucking satriani

The term "floyd rose" is commonly used in conversation to refer to any locking nut/fine tune bridge style tremolo. Much the same way kleenex is used to refer to facial tissues.
Calling a Gotoh 510 bridge a retro Floyd would mislead pretty much anyone you would talk to, as it is simply modern strat style bridge.
You are obviously a shredder who apparently knows nothing about common electric guitars.

Would you say it's better than the original tex-mex strat bridge?

certainly, but you could just replace the sustain block on yours and be totally fine.

pretty much the same, mabe korean's slightly better
