I play a lot of doom and drone metal. But I can't tune my guitar as low as I want (even with heavy strings) and I can't afford a new one. is there a good pedal that can drop my sound for me?
Bentley Bailey
well stone rock dont need downtune just keep playing slow doom which uses downtune sound like shit tho
Kevin Jenkins
...
Ayden Howard
get a synth pedal
Leo Turner
Why is the "67" style flying v more popular? Literally half half of the body is covered by the pickguard
Gavin Flores
rec me some
Liam White
I wasn't feeling it for a while. I wasn't bored but my playing was boring. Go back to Pentatonic and suddenly I'm having fun again. Gotta remember to go back to the well from time to time.
Leo Robinson
From the last thread, pitchfork.
Gabriel Allen
Hey guys, high-functioning autist here. Been playing electric guitar for going on twenty years, I wanna branch out my musical expertise. What's a good bass guitar to start out with?
Hmm... I like the full pickguard (on Jacksons too).
Hudson Garcia
It's tacky and guitar players have tacky taste
Julian Williams
thanks friend
James James
Whatever that monstrosity is tacky.
Noah Lopez
Style on the right is the uggo 67
Caleb Anderson
I think that was part of his point, although that looks like a chinkshit rondo or something

What is/are the most popular website(s) for looking for bands to join/musicians to join your band, other than Craigslist?
Henry Ross
they should make tinder for bands

that's not even a bad idea

Yeah, one on right looks great! (I had a lawsuit white-on-white in that style.)

I noticed a few bad habits tonight:
1. Moving my hand up and down the neck (with the accompanying squeaky sound) after a stop. (Why the fuck?)
2. I've lost my descending partial barre. I'm fretting/sounding the string above the picking action. (Different guitar with lower action might be the culprit.)
3. My picking was feeling a bit stuck... I noticed that I wasn't repositioning my arm/hand from lower to higher strings and vice versa.
On the plus side:
1. I started slanting in the opposite direction of the sweep. I'm also rotating after direction changes. I'm sure that someone will tell me both are wrong but the sound is so sharp. (Two-way pick slanting is supposed to end on an out-stroke anyway... Right?!) I just started drilling sweeps again so I'll see how it holds up.
2. I've been doing spiders but I'm going to do "soft spiders," as well. Assuming that I know what a spider is in the first place... I'll lightly touch the "home row;" fret the next string as usual; then lightly touch again and repeat. The goal is to hold a mute so no "lift-off" note.
Eli Hughes
legit, doom metal is good

Um, I listed 4 problems that make me sound bad. And one sweeping improvement for me that needs to be faster. But yeah, I do only play in my room. I envy you guys who don't need to improve technique-wise.

Are Blue Yeti's good for recording guitars?
Jaxson Flores
Who is the best guitar-youtuber and why is it Samuraiguitarist?
Justin Wilson
Why don't you spend more time googling to find out how to best mic a speaker cab? You could find a more ideal and/or affordable set-up for your needs, but yes, you could mic a cab with a blue yeti. Some tips if you do: 1 - set it to cardioid pattern, oriented towards the cab. especially if the room/enclosure the cab is in, isn't covered in eggbox foam or something else to cut reflective noise (unless you're actually after a touch of natural room reverb) 2 - keep it one or two dick lengths away from the grill cloth, not right up against it 3 - experiment with positioning. not necessarily centred. if micing it off-centre, experiment with having it oriented perpendicular to the grill-cloth vs oriented towards the centre of the speaker (if you have it set to cardioid pattern).
Chase Anderson
Thanks for the tips my d00d
Jose Hall
I should've qualified point 2 a bit better. the distance you set the mic away from the speaker cone affects bass response. having it right up against the grill cloth could make it a bit boomy, but likewise if you mic it further away and it sounds a bit thin, you could move it closer.
Lucas Evans
Allright, noted. Thanks man
James Walker
>bass Fender Jazz Bass
Good for transferring because the neck is thin
There's a decent variety in tone too, you won't just be stuck with one thing like on a P-Bass
Jason Fisher
Jazz Basses are awesome. I want one real bad
Eli Morris
Do it. I've been playing them for like 8 years now. They are fantastic.
Brody Sanders
lol no, get a Sennheiser e906. I bought one for my band and it sounds incredible. def one of the best mics ive used (better than the sm57 desu) and it has a presence filter on the back you can adjust depending on the kind of style you play.
very versatile, I was thinking of getting another one to mic my other speaker
Chase Morris
I'm not a bass player, but If I was, I'd probably get a J bass style body with top route and control plate, but routed for thunderbird pickups. From warmoth or some shit I dunno.
Aaron Mitchell
Well, I can't afford one. Worst part is that a Jazz Bass came up for my sale in my area a couple months ago really cheap. Was some kind of Japanese special edition with musicman pickups
Henry Bennett
One hr practice routine: 5 mins chromatic excercises 10 mins chromatic chugging 5 mins whining about gibson 10 mins whammy excercises on edge zero II tremolo 15 mins sweeping 5 mins pentatonic wanking 10 mins jamming on blues backing track
Jacob Adams
Get a Squier Classic Vibe or Vintage Modified, good quality and pretty cheap.
Aiden Mitchell
I have the e609. is there much of a difference between that and the e906?
Lucas Powell
If you have to ask, you should probably just be running direct and applying cab sims in your daw
Easton Reed
don't confuse them with words like daw lol.
Chase Bell
>tfw you've owned a guitar for 6 years and never stuck at it long enough to even be mediocre
Am I just doomed? I can't even do basic chord changes without sounding like shit, can't stick to a rhythm etc.
Also I just realised I have some really awful habits, like when I do a G I automatically bend my wrist at a 90 degree angle, so I have to completely relearn how to do it or else develop carpal tunnel syndrome...
How do you git gud :(
Sebastian Jones
some minor quality of sound differences stemming from the presence filter, mainly. when I was doing research on what mic I should get, the one complaint I heard about the e609 was it can sound very "thin" -- no doubt something the presence filter on the e906 remedies
but there's legitimately $100 difference between the two, and I don't think the small differences makes that much of an impact to warrant the steep price change. you honestly can't go wrong with either one, but from personal experience I prefer the e906. I crank my speakers and use a lot of fuzz/gain which the mic handles beautifully on the high presence filter setting
Mason Peterson
lol
You lucked out last night, I had to go get a shower and go to bed because we have people coming for Thanksgiving and I have to get the yard cleaned up today.
But guess what? You fucked up royally. After I get done outside today gay gays ass is mine until Sunday.
So report away because these next five days are going to be pure hell for this general.
I promise.
Juan Price
>mommy and daddy need me to do yard work before the rest of the family comes over for Thanksgiving could you be any more of a fucking normie?
Josiah Sullivan
What's an easy jazzy christmas song a beginner like me could learn before christmas?
Zachary Robinson
If learning by yourself hasn't worked, but you still want to get better, I don't think there's much else to do then get a good teacher. Even then the main thing still is just sticking with it and you cant avoid doing the work if you want to git gud.
Ethan Thompson
Get your hands on Guitar Pro and start tabbing out really simple songs with it, while learning those songs as you go. Play the notes one by one and figure out what you need to do to make the tab resemble the song, you will get 8 million times better just by doing this even once.
Logan Watson
Or if you're poor get tuxguitar
David Butler
I have a classical guitar laying around, but not a lot of time. Is practicing 15 minutes daily enough to have fun and get better? I don't want to become god, neither do i expect fast results.
Samuel Edwards

Angel Murphy
I have an electric guitar plugged into my studio monitors, and I'm always listening to music when I'm in my room, so it's only a matter of time before I listen to something that makes me go OH NO U DIDN'T and then I'm playing along too. Honestly the biggest quality of life improvement has been just playing along, pausing the song and making sure it sounds right. That being said if you want to git gud you do have to practice chord changes and stuff. That's the part I'm procrastinating on.
Nathaniel King
Aside from the errors, is this a cool chord progression?
I really wasn't enjoying it. Then the singing started, and it became so comically bad it was good.
William Peterson
Does this pic get you a lot of dates?
Oliver Thompson
that bad?
no
Nicholas Reyes
The Right is best.
Logan Russell
eh i was being hyperbolic and mean. the execution left a lot to be desired and the songwriting was pretty basic, but no, not that bad.
Samuel Hughes
i can't actually play it properly yet. it's really hard for me since i've been playing less than 6 months. it's hard to focus on singing when i am also focusing hard to play the guitar part properly. was mostly just seeing if that 'sound' is cool or not. thank you.
Daniel Butler
GODDAMIT HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO IMPRESS MY FAMILY WITH MY SHRED SKILLZ NOW?!?!?
Alexander Gutierrez
Thinken of getting a pointy V (banged and abused, for cheap), I only have strats and LPs. I don't play metal, but it could look fun live, or at least as an already banged backup guitar I don't mind taking live.

Making music on my own feels so unsatisfying but all my musician friends are going to opposite ends of the country for Thanksgiving and I'm just gonna be alone in my house with my instruments How do I pull myself out of this funk I used to record solo guitar/bass/electronic stuff all the time and I feel like it's my only way to make music/jam/etc without having to rely on someone else's timetable but ever since I actually started playing in groups it just seems like such a fucking chore
>long time ago posted if i should buy idotbox's blower box >i did and i love it for my bass >black friday and cyber monday coming up >want a fuzz pedal to stack with blower box any of you have any experience with idotbox? if so which one is their better pedals to pair with blower box?
so far i'm liking that dungeon master (but it might possibly be too gnarly for me to control), static fuzz and ron swanson pedals
Colton Hughes
Wait? Gibson is trying to get bought out by phillips?
Bentley Perez
Not if I buy em first. I'll give them an offer they can't refuse. 50 quid.
