One's dead the other may as well be.

this gave me a hearty kek

>no fedoras allowed
Nice way of excluding 90% of the psters here. See all 6 of you guys next thread

*walks into guitar center and starts playing stairway to heaven*

You say this like it's a bad thing.

I guess not really. It'll just be me and roman like the old times.

*plays the intro to One for 30 minutes straight*
*plugs in the biggest bass cabinet*
*sets everything to 11*
*vapes*
heh..

I'm thinking of taking classical guitar lessons as a 19 year old.

Is it too late for me to be able to play as well as this?

I'm not expecting the teacher to make me John Williams, but I also don't want to dedicate such a large portion of my time if my playing will always be amateurish and casual

Any words of wisdom

Why are you so concerned about what you'll do in 6 years outside of work and college?

and me

I want to be a good player for myself. We all have goals, being a good guitarists is one of mine

Hey bud

Oh, snap!

Go big or go home, faggot. If ten thousand hours is mastery, it'll only take 28 years if you start now and play 1 hour a day every single day. Forty seven, prime of your life, are you going to regret being a little pussy beta male or did you become a god of some useless instrument that you'll never play in a band or make money with?

sup?

>all 6 of you guys
>thinks Roman is 6 people

Roman's like 20 something people at least you noggoblin

I think he meant that there are on.y 6 people on here not excluded by the "no fedoras" rule.

>cortfag
>froosh
>piggu
>crazyaga
>samuel
>jcm900
He is 6 people

he was pete also

How about Foderas?

Pete and oldfag are fedora

How much do you think I'd make busking about on a boardwalk during the summer?

im 100% sure he was vape guy to

Most people don't give shit. Even if you get a large group checking a song, you'll end up with 2 bucks at best.

ive been thinking about getting one of these? is it worth it

i play guitar

Vape guy had a fedora on. Actually, ehx rep was less fedora than crazyaga so switch them

>anime poster
>jcm variants
>Gibson(TM)

Reminder: If you play a Les Paul and your tone doesn't sound like Gary Moore you are wasting your time

Anime poster was super fedora. I was Gibson(tm) for a while, he stole that idea and ran with it.

...

Fuck off bitch youre not me.
You dont have a.jcm900L.a here. 100 bucks a day on santa monica pier

Why the fuck would I want to sound like someone else? Be an innovator, not an imitator.

...

>mfw OP meant Foderas

Gibson gold-top Les Paul is like a fedora with strings. "Would it please thee to be serenaded m'lady?"

how fucked up is it that seeing this without the pasta just triggered me

I liked when some of you guys posted pointy guitars. Please post more, do any of you have a BC Rich?

I stole poorfa/gg/ for a while. Richfa/gg/ was more fun but fewer opportunities to use it, this being /gg/.

Does /gg/ have pastas?

on a guitar with a 3 way toggle switch and 2 humbuckers, WTF does the middle setting serve? it just sounds like the worst attributes of both pickups combined.

Learn to use your tone knob

/gg/ has the deepest lore of any general on Sup Forums

both of my guitars only have a universal tone and 2 volumes.

if you know what your doing

was meant for

Depends on the guitar. Sometimes the pick up combination doesn't work well together, but it can be wired to sound nice imo. I personally have mod some so that only the inner coils come into play (so split both pick ups, to the inside).

Are you sure it's not the other way around? That doesn't even make sense.

I want one of these but nowhere near me sells them for me to try out.. boo

How fast do the Dunlop gator picks wear out? I've heard the powder on them comes off pretty fast and lose the trademark grip.

Gary Moore has the best tone. No one said you have to copy his style

it's a dean ML. 2 volume and universal tone.

....and truss rod access at the nut, right?

Weird. That's not the way my ML was set up. Rewire it to V/T/T

not sure what thats supposed to show, but ya.

Yeah bass vi's are fantastic, really good fun if you like arpegiating chords and stuff

Of course it does!

IMO one of the nicest guitars at it's price.

Did someone say /pointy/

My other /pointy/ 2/2

>mbv vinyl

Im so glad youre shilling this meme, havent enjoyed a /gg/ meme this much in months

But the fact of the matter is, anons right,
Anything but heel access is limiting your tone and devalues your instrument

>the high E pole alignment on the bridge humbucker

Have you ever listened to that ep senpai? It has the best song they ever recorded on it

>vinyl

Its a record you soyboy

Is this a new meme?

whats an acoustic that isn't shit and under 500

The strings off the saddle, this was post restringing and i hadnt tuned the guitar up to pitch yet

>collects vinyls
>calls others soyboys

No its objective fact

it's the string not in it's slot

>collects vinyls

Who said anything collecting """"vinyls"""
Careful user, your soy is showing

>gets irrationally defensive

am i the only one here that doesn't totally hate line 6?

>tfw mom gave me too many gmo foods as a kid
>play right handed now
It's not fair. If I were to stop everything and relearn lefty how long would it take before I git gud

first you'd have to learn to be left handed, then you'd have to relearn guitar

so years

>posts the meme frog

Wew laddy

CHILL OUT ROMAN.

i assume youre talking about off your face? i mean ye if youre a belinda cuck

WAR FOR
TEEEEEEERRITORY

I want to make a guitar

think you'll have enough room left in your shack to shit?

. this is my shack in the back. My other shack is in the front.

Fuck off pseud, stick to ur slowdive

Can we start calling Norman's Rare Guitars and ask if they have Battletoads? It can be a funny /gg/ meme.

Na i like ol norm, i feel like it would stress him out

battletoads is a worn out joke. We should call and keep asking them for made up guitars
>hello this is Norman's Rare Guitars
>yeah I was calling to see if you guys happen to have a rare guitar called the Bender Splatojasper?

>Bender Splatojasper
This

call and ask for a nasty bitch. say you want the nastiest bitch in the store which one is it

then ask how many notes will this nasty bitch play in a minute

"hey im looking for a vintage nibson eggspalter, in beige with original soft case

Are you 12?

Warren Haynes has the best LP tone.

>something doesn't feel right about the way this guitar plays, it needs a truss rod adjustment
>destring
>adjust truss rod
>restring (might even have to lose a set of strings at this point if you didn't leave the last set long enough to restring)
>nope, still not right
>destring again
>etc.
Headstock truss rod access is objectively superior. There is no reason not to make a guitar so you can adjust the truss rod while the strings are on and tuned to pitch.
>but muh tone
GTFO corksniffer.

>he doesnt have heel access

Its like youre asking for poor tone

>>something doesn't feel right about the way this guitar plays, it needs a truss rod adjustment

Prove it makes a difference in tone. Protip: you can't. I bet you use Monster cables too.

>hello user, this is your tone calling from beyond the grave, why didnt you just save another couple weeks of neetbux and buy a genuine HEEL access guitar! Please user, havent i suffered enough at the hands of your fender brand cables and one master volume pot?!

>intonation a bit off
>adjust saddle screws
no matter how much I change the length higher notes still seem to be out, am I missing something ?

>Doesnt use monster cables
>Doesnt own a TONE HEEL certified instrument

The nut might be cut too low/high.
