The main advantage of a jazz III is the sharper point. A lesser factor is the small size forces you to expose less tip, you can get the same effect with XL ones by just choking up a little bit.

Fuck off with your cancerous plebbit memes
Parker Barnes
Rhythm guitar is incredibly boring I only play leads/fills Anyone else feel this way
I just can't sit there strumming chords it's mind numbing I need to be flying all over the neck
Caleb Butler
He attac But didn't expect the other user to protec
David Moore
Kirk Hammett's
Tyler Richardson
This is the best pick, now someone tell me what the best
Liam Stewart
So stop playing boring rhythm parts, get into a fun genre instead
Sebastian Bell
Can you not play both at once? >laughingDimebag.jpg
Logan Gomez
he attac he protec he wank all over nec
Christian Wright
Then don't play rhythm guitar and stop fishing for complements.
Leo Flores
>the V cut helps improve handling He just wanted it to look like the Pick of Destiny.
Jackson Peterson
I use the yellow one the most now; I also like the large red and black one as well as the grey and black
Elijah Sanders
9-42 strings, half step down, single coils, that's my shit
Alexander Baker
>9s >half step down lmao
Cameron Jones

Jeremiah Rodriguez
Tone knobs are completely useless
Austin Sanchez
here's your (you)
Josiah Thompson
Sounds like the problem here is that you are just too fucking good and totally not a douchebag at all. Pic related is totally not what you are.
Aaron Rivera
>I am completely useless
Fixed that for ya, buddy.
Luke Rogers
The visual appearance of a guitar is more important than how it sounds. In fact the way a guitar looks is the most important aspect.
Yeah, because in recordings you can totally see the guitar. Moron.
Evan Campbell
>he can't see the guitar through sound alone Get a load of this fucking pleb
Lincoln Bennett
I got this edwards from japan a month ago and I fucking love it
Asher White
This is like the opposite of a super strat.
Grayson Wilson
playing the guitar is hard. i tried once and it was really hard to place my fingers rapidly one accord after the other. > i know i know... i suck ass. so now you can show me your guitar expertise by any means necesary
Jace Ramirez
It takes years Everyone you see who is proficient at playing took years to get that way
Jordan Morales
Oooh... It's a dick pic! Now I get it. I get it now, everybody!
Gabriel Lee
But.. why? It's like a strat, but not as comfortable and probably doesn't have the sexy signature stratocaster-sound. Looks pretty neat tho.
Carson Evans
You can larp as Prince with it
Brody Wright
>tfw finish every "training session" with disposable heroes playing just rhythm its good for developing strength even if i get physical pain and burns in my shoulder right?
Joshua Sanders
No. Good posture is essential.
Benjamin Jenkins
This. You'll hate yourself for being a dumbass when you're older.
Jaxon Watson
Work on your rhythm playing. A good rhythm player is going to have a bit more than just strumming one thing at a time. Strumming patterns, muting, emphasizing notes
Tyler Miller
>He doesn't tremolo-pick with his fingers micro les paul?
Dominic Carter
Is satin finish better for neck back? I think gloss finish will get sticky after a while.
Nathaniel Rodriguez
I think so, but it's very much a personal preference.
Logan Walker
>Tfw it is too early to play my marshall
Elijah Garcia
What are some good locking tuners for stratocaster (modern style tuners) when on a budget?
Ryder King
Just started practicing the ionian scale, and I play faster with my fingers. I'm decent with a pick, but i'm way faster fingerbanging. Should I learn to use a pick or can I finger-pick everything.
Wyatt Powell
Don't use theory buzzwords here, you'll get bullied.
Levi Hernandez
WHY THE FUCK DOES SCHECTER ONLY SELL CUSTOM SHOP PICKUPS IN THE US AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Zachary Perry
has anyone on here unironicly learned to play without a teacher?
Andrew Hill
I've been self taught for 10 years and I can learn stuff pretty fast but I don't know jack about theory and as usual I can only improvise pentatonic shit. It's pretty sad.
Anybody own one of these? How good are they? Saw Satchel doing a demo in a video once. I wish they weren't $300.
Brody Taylor
But theory is much easier to self-teach than technique. It's an hour in front of your computer.
Landon Jenkins
how'd you start??
Jordan Robinson
Why do I find it easier to learn new musical concept on piano than guitar? I always try out new things on piano because learning it on guitar. I feel like I'm almost cheating on guitar.
Jose Martinez
how'd you start!?
Tyler Lee
Personally I didn't like it. It does the full simulation of the sounds it copies. As in it simulates a cab and mic. Makes it sound nice I guess but it feels super post processed to me.
Nice product but I did not like it and traded it away within a week.
Nicholas Walker
I'm too lazy and I don't like when a hobby becomes a chore, that's why I hate theory. I've accepted my fate, was destined to become a meme guitarist/bedroom warrior.
Guitar Hero 3 got me into real guitar because I thought the concept of [Slash] a real person being in a videogame was cool as shit. Started with easy shit like Smoke in the Water but the first song I learned from start to finish was One.
It' can't be too bad as a practice amp to take when you have to go out, right? youtube.com/watch?v=Vr7NQHrLQxY If it can sound like a 5150 I'd get it for that alone.
Thomas Cruz
How on Earth can you play for 10 years and not know anything about music theory surely you must know about scales intervals relative Keys circle of fifths that sort of thing
William Sullivan
I mean how'd you learn to play by yourself?
Owen Williams
>surely you must know about scales intervals relative Keys circle of fifths I have no fucking clue what you're talking about. I just learn songs from bands I like by ear.
Read the reply above. Just listen and play what you hear, you'll get good at it with time.
clyp.it/cki5achg I recorded this just two hours after I started learning that song.
Nathan Bell
It's a fine practice amp, yeah. I can't comment on the high gain sounds on the x as I had the c. Sounds like you would get some use out of it though. Personally I would prefer the blackstar fly 3. So much cheaper and it's even more portable. (though I sold that too)
Obviously the Yamaha is better, but I'd rather save some money on my practice amp.
Michael Baker
Is Travis picking hard to master in application?
Charles Baker
Once you've learned a few songs with different travis picking patterns and you know your chords and chord tones, it's really not too bad.
Mastering is kind of a subjective thing though and you might never "master" it.
Lucas Perry
Oh I should add. I had a hard time using the yamaha as a true practice amp because all of the post processing and effects covered up my mistakes. I need to hear those mistakes to practice effectively.
Jackson Thomas
Do you at least know what a key is
Michael Bennett
Nah senpai
Asher Carter
You seem to pride yourself on ignorance. I guess that's cool for you. I just can't understand how somebody can play for so long and know absolutely nothing. That in itself is quite a feat.
Jaxson Smith
Which is better? 1/2
Elijah Thomas
2/2
Grayson Barnes
I know a person who is in the same place as this dude, except she's playing keyboards. I was blown away when I found out - I guess I can kind of understand how a guitarist might ignore theory, but piano is literally the most basic instrument theory-wise, everything you need to know is right in front of you.
Anthony Wood
aren't you even interested in learning? anything? its not a chore. literal children can do it. i dont understand.
Gabriel Rogers
You can fingerpick everything. You can use however many fingers you want. You can use a thumbpick. You could hybrid pick. You can use piccado to pick, you can use tremolo (not plectrum tremolo) to pick, you can alternate between thumb and index to "alternate pick" while doing fingerstyle. Figure out your technique, there's no definite right or wrong in technique unless you're playing classical guitar. Certain techniques facilitate different things, best to invest time in everything. But you certainly can "fingerpick" in the style of plectrum picking. Just try to be as unsloppy as possible in technique, whatever you choose to do.
Kayden Sullivan
And don't call the Ionian mode the Ionian scale, just call it the Major Scale. MAJOR SCALE.
Ayden Clark
I'm not proud of it, like I said I just accepted my fate. Other than making videos for TooToobe I have no future in music.
To be honest I'd rather become a luthier, I enjoy customizing guitars.
Chase Hall
It's funny because "Ionian" isn't even a scale, it's a mode of a scale.
Joseph Smith
If I play mainly through amp modelling software on my computer, do I really need a variety of different guitars? My heart is telling me I need an archtop hollow body guitar, but my brain is telling me I can already get similar tones using my amp software and that I'll have buyers remorse.
GAS never ends.
Jeremiah Howard
thanks man
Logan Mitchell
What guitars do you have?
Jaxon Gomez
It's the Major scale, the Ionian mode, as I referred it. Thee major scale, the most important scale. Not a mode of the major scale, is the Major scale. Like Ionian Greeks.
Robert Taylor
You can call it whatever you want doesn't change what notes are in it. A aeolian, c ionian, a natural minor, d Dorian mode etc all the same thing just different root notes
Cooper Morgan
whichever matches your hardware
I'm in his same position and I'm bretty sure I have undiagnosed ADHD or something.
Levi Carter
You've made your guitar playing into a self fulfilling phrophecy, if you had ever had desires to go somewhere with music at least. Bad disposition to have. Music theory is the simplest shit.
Austin Morris
"Ionian" isn't a scale, it's a mode. I didn't start the theory pedantry, I just followed it through to its logical conclusion.
Angel Jones
A Telecaster with single coils, an HSH Superstrat, a classical guitar, and a steel string acoustic. The tele already sounds pretty jazzy to me in the neck position, but I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing.
Luke Phillips
People looking to understand modes should read this. Getting the gist of them is this simple.
Jason Cruz
I'm glad you can see what I'm getting at. Most people just call me retarded when I tell them g mixolydian is the same thing as a minor just with a g root note.
Logan Ward
Ionian is a mode, yes, first mode of the major scale. C Ionian is C major, it's a scale. The first mode of the major scale is the major scale, it's a scale. The Phrygian mode is a scale, and a mode of the major scale, but it's a scale differing from the Natural Minor scale only by it's b2nd note. Modes are scales. Don't have to get butt hurt. Wasn't looking to start an argument, but you seem to have some misconception about the first mode of the major scale not being a scale and not being the major scale.
Sebastian Stewart
You could argue for an HH hollowbody; remember that the point of having more than one guitar is not just that they sound different, but that they play differently, too.
I think after that, though, you'll have a pretty decent spread of guitars. Not much point having more.
You've missed the point. "Ionian" is a term describing a mode, not a scale.
Remember I'm not defending pedantry, I'm just pointing out that if someone is going to bother saying "Ionian" rather than "major", they might as well use the term properly.
Lincoln Campbell
Really? This is exactly my way of thinking of them, I understand the deviations from similar scales and the major scale for the modes of the major scale, but this is simply the easiest way to think of it and teach it, especially if someone has a foundation with say just 1 key and hasn't learned every note and all about intervals. Play C maj starting with D ending at D and it's D Dorian, a natural minor scale with a major 6th, the B note. Just stating for anyone lurking who wants a little boost to check out modes. Not very complex at all. Was a mystery to me for a while.
Tyler Roberts
Fair enough
Julian Watson
This is definitely a useful way of teaching/thinking about it (especially on piano) for beginners - it's called the 'relative' approach.
When you get futher in, I'd argue you're much better off using the 'parallel' approach - which (the second of) you hinted at when you said "a natural minor scale with a major 6th". When you use this approach you can add 'flavor' notes into pentatonic scales, very useful for making your soloing more interesting.
Cameron Anderson
It's because the Piano is good while the guitar is trash.
