Fender custom shop Postmodern Stratocaster is the best guitar.

is there a way to measure db? what's a safe level to play at? i feel like sometimes i play too loud and my inner eardrum sorta get sore. but when i turn it down i feel like i can't hear all the sounds as well.

You're a fucking idiot.

thanks

Why the fuck was the Edge let on along side Jimmy Page and Jack White? All of his riffs sound identical as well as having retarded looking guitars.

I still want this!

Anyone ever used anything like this? Is it worth it?

Because he's the guitarist from one of the biggest bands of the last 30 years. One could easily argue against Jack being there.

At least Jack White had something interesting to add to the documentary, The Edge had the most screen time and did fuck all with it.

it's just your typical non-shitty drywall
why would you use anything thinner

Yeah, but his name probably got more eyeballs pointed at the screen.

... so buy one

I wish it were that easy.

>mfw I found out their is a place free weekly fiddle lessons near me
I want to learn guitar, but I guess I have enough time to do both. Its it alright to learn two instruments at once? I live in Georgia so I should learn fiddle for self defense.

The fiddle is so much better than guitar, just learn that. Fuck guitars

>Free lessons

How are you considering not taking this?

He could get raped

Is this really a good amp, or is a meme one?

I'm definitely taking them. It's unusual that we have fiddle lessons period, the fact that they're free is even better. The fiddle is more culturally tied to my region as well. I'm just wondering if trying to learn 2 instruments at once is doable.

Good but overrated.

>Free lessons and free rape

I'm sold already.

Meme. Soon to be an ever present pawn shop staple along side the Peavey Bandit and tuck 'n roll Kustom amps.

don't know if I've ever seen another photo with as much oozing autism as this one
>guitar = dorks

what's your dream amp
mine is Randall 667

>Jimmy Page
>dork
lul
A lot of people who play guitar seem autistic though.

What if I have 2 dream amps?

>old white guy wearing sunglasses trying to look cool for a photo shoot
>not a dork
you might want to take one look at that photo user

tell us

JCM 800 and Fender Dual Showman

nice
on the other hand, randall 667 can replicate all these amps, with its 6 channels/6 modes per channel

>roman
>baiting
fuck. off.

what's this bullshit?

Matchless DC-30, those tones, but that price tag

I don't wanna play loud all the time.

>A lot of people who play guitar seem autistic though.
I'm pretty sure the frontman of dinosaur jr is autistic

No, he's just a giant sloth dressed as a human.

I got one, for what it is it's fine. don't expect it to sound like a medium/high quality tube amp though, especially when it comes to high gain stuff.

Is there even a point in getting a tube amp if I want to play clean?

>especially when it comes to high gain stuff.

But high gain is usually convincing enough on solid state amps. Break-up sounds are where they usually disappoint.

Depends. If you're interested in gigging, probably not. If it's a home amp, I'd still go tube.

>If it's a home amp, I'd still go tube.
Why though?

Twin Reverb is tube and doesn't break up.

get a good processor instead, there are tons of them nowadays
you'll thank me later

Solid state amps always sound a bit sterile to me.

What about a hybrid amp for home?

My home amp is a blackstar ht1r, so I'm all for hybrid amps.

In the end, I'm just an internet neckbeard. You should go and try a bunch of amps and see what inspires you to play.

Same with the Showman

Is it bad to only be able to play half of this after 2 years of self taught guitar?
songsterr.com/a/wsa/johnny-mandel-suicide-is-painless-tab-s12242t0?c=25786

please be honest

Everyone has their own speed, man. If you feel your progress has stagnated maybe take some lessons.

This.
Go take some free fiddle lessons.

Slowed down huh?

Atm. I'm playing a Fender 'Tele-Bration' Telecaster into a Marshall JCM 2000. Using a ProCo RAT2 for distortion, Harmonix East River Drive for overdrive and trying to figure out my new TC Electronics T2 Reverb pedal.

I've got one, but it doesn't sound that good distorted. Sounds really good when on clean-mode

Is been pretty slow for a few hours.

Hey Sup Forums, I've been trying to write a few songs lately, excuse the garbage sound I recorded this off an iPhone

Also its basically pop rock so for those who like your music to be less disappointing here's your warning

Here's a snippet of a riff, what do you think?

vocaroo.com/i/s0OEMLQO6hqT

hey im trying to use a boss me-50b with headphones for silent practice - headphones being those bose noise canceling ones and connected with a minijack to jack plug into the phones output on the board. i get a click in the headphones when turning on and off the board, but no bass signal gets trough, no electric hum either. is it the minijack-jack plug at fault?

>overdriven math rock
not good my mane

I usually use it to cover my already sloppy playing but I get what u mean

I really know that, and my point is: if your playing is sloppy,practice more or start simple.

Good rule of thumb, in every art, in: is you are doing something, do what you can do.

Nah Squire Hot Rails Strat is the best guitar.
Shit is cash for a 500 $ E-Guitar.

What's a good slim expression pedal?
Looking to put 2 side by side.

>Hot rails pickups
>Good

Pick one.

alright fa/gg/ots I'm back awake prepare you anuses

you have no idea what you are talking about.
you're probably a babbys first fender faggot or worse, a jizzblaster weenie

youtube.com/watch?v=ND2NFtImjlY

>jizzblaster
ahhh i didn't even know i missed this

Does anyone here actually care what gear someone uses? Like if you see a guitarist performing do you judge him based on his guitar and amp?

>This high end blade single coil is totally similar to an Asian made neutered humbucker

Not even a little.

it's danny gatton, those are joe barden dual blade 'hot rails'. those are literally THE hot rails, the original usage of the term.

judge player and gear separately

Did you not look at them when they did the close-up? They are clearly single-bladed.

Need good earplugs for concerts, any recommendations?

can someone tab this out for me
youtube.com/watch?v=z5VFngsQPok

Would taking some parts from songs plagiarism if I change the chorus and credit original composer?
wikipedia doesn't even say you have to credit composer
where the cover ends and plagiarims lawsuit starts?

did you even try searching google first? lazy fuck.

songsterr.com/a/wsa/alf-clausen-alf-theme-tab-s30981t0

>plagiarism lawsuits
>in the hue zone
shirley you jest

lol semantics. you're right I guess this is before he switched to 'hotrails'. regardless, he used them. if you ever seen live velvet redux they used them for that tour aswell. blade pickups are great and it's a matter of taste. what I really don't like is when some faggot tries to greentext some shitty opinion like it's a rule, like you're some kind of purist. give me a break dude.

>they are clearly single-bladed
>no they're not
>hurr durr semantics
kys now

My favorite guitarist already uses my favorite gear.
Fuck Joe Bonamassa though.

Why does that point out the tattoos? What do they have to do with his gear?

don't think i could be in a band where flea bullies me into silence so people can admire his bass 80% of the song

You know nothing about rock music, stfu.

What is that 12 string? I am erect.

If it was up your ass you'd know.

...

bartell.vintageusaguitars.com/index.php/amps_electronics/bartell-guitars/00149-bartell-st-george-12-string/

It's tone ink.

Can anyone tell me whats the 6 string equivalent to the DiMarzio Ionizer 8 DP809 that tosin used in his signature from 2013?

I managed to divine the provenance of it without any rectal intrusion.

EMG 81

A log of shit with 6 guitar strings stabbed in it.

It's good

Highly in doubt.

i have those in my guitar and the cleans are nowhere near that sound

you got chink fakes prolly epoxied with doo doo

lmao, good troll. they sound like asshole.

woah now this is a no porn board. boner stahp

Those are Lollar CCs, not JBEs
