Answer him, where do you access the truss rod on a strat mod guy.

Trap chap on Sup Forums, lol:

I want to protect this smile

is that PewDiePie?

Only time anyone has ever smiled holding a gibson, fitting that it is in a work of fiction.

so, pussies
what are the best pickups for stratobuster? how bad are p-rails?
also jcm900 is shit
and only fender is good enough

KYS

Why do all the untalented thots do this.

I like mine so much, I'm thinking of a second one loaded with p90s.

good taste

It's ironic that Les Paul and the maker of Les Pauls died within 10 years if each other. Well, I guess Gibson is only mostly dead.

That's your problem.

900s aren't shit. They are pretty good value for money nowadays. Bragging about poorfags is pretty stupid though as most Fenders are more expensive than a JCM900 half stack.

Have you ever played a norlin one? Recent fenders that I've played are pretty shit too by the way. I own both a norlin Gibson and a recent fender. The Gibson absolutely destroys the fender, it isn't even a little bit close.

I found a special doublecut with p90s but the fucker wants 1k for it.
Fuck that, it wasn't even 900 when new.

I paid 900 in total for my stack. And my fender was 1400.

And you keep your 900 in your bedroom?

I'd like to see more of that foot.

s..she's underage my dude. still is.

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot feet were illegal.

I bought a danelectro double cutaway as my first guitar and I really am not a fan of the tones and the feeling of it. I like my friends tele but I don't really enjoy the look of it. I've been looking at the fender offsets and jazzmasters. Should I sell my danelectro and get an offset ?

save up, you might like the danelectro in a couple of years. I'd never sell unique gear.

No i move it around alot actually. I got some nice casters on the cab.

Are there any essential guitar pedals you guys would recommend for general use? I don't really play any genre in particular, I just enjoy playing with effects.

a tuner

I got a 50 volt Bogner Helios and matching 2 x 12 cab

You can do an absolute shitton of stuff with the Line 6 DL-4. That is going to be my next pedal probably, although I would only use it for the loop stuff since I already own 2 other delays.

Record something with it. I'd love to hear it.

Thoughts on mooer?

Some of the sounds can be a bit dodgy but for pedal space and price point they're pretty good.
If you're not using amp distortion a good distortion or OD pedal would be useful, and you can't really go wrong with a chorus or reverb.

This is the worst meme ever.

An mxr dynacomp.

A transparent (tone neutral) overdrive. Caline Pure Sky for poorfags. Timmy for richfags. Pure Sky is tone-neutral with bass/treble at 12 O'Clock. Timmy is tone-neutral with bass/treble at 0.

Was 2012 a good year for Les Pauls?

I've had nothing but good experiences with Chinese clone pedals.

>50 volt

Mine is 2012 and I like it, the pain finish is better than some shitty finishes from past years.
Fretboard isn't exactly rosewood but something lighter, it'll get dark after a bit of playing though so it's not bad. Other than that they were fairly standard afaik, nothing funky.

New to guitar here
How long does it usually take to master one beginner chord? I think I might be legit retarded tbqh

5 minutes?

Chords are easy

rate lead playing
soundcloud.com/samuelcfaria/asdasd

try three chords and switching between them
doing only one cannot be that hard
anyways it all about switching to the chord fast
just try doing it until youre doing it

Say you have the time and will to practice guitar 10 hours a day for the next 3 months, how would you invest said hours for maximum profit?

>Only hundreds of thousands of them made

Id honestly get a job instead

SCALES

>Guitar playing as a revenue generating activity

Boy, the only thing you'll generate is disappointment.

Just change the pickup on your danelectro for tele pickups

and change the neck for a tele neck

sure but the model itself is unique

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not.

>profit
not in the literal sense

Well I decided not to buy it. Guess I saved myself $3,000plus tax and shipping

Its actually poorfagg syndrome

i wish i knew the answer, i wouldnt have wasted 3 years

Anyone ever bought a Chibson?
How'd it go?

You mean an Epiphone? Wouldn't recommend it.

Literally garbage

Dont so it dude. Youre supporting a shit market and encouraging gibson to not give a fuck too. Buy local instead. Go to a local luthier

a friend has an epi custom, really good instrument

chibsons dont have the 40% maple so they arent gibsons copies at all

hey im trying to learn the solo from this song

youtube.com/watch?v=tGjD81pL9yg&t=3m28s

could someone help me figure out what's happening on the first lick of it?
is it one guitar playing 2 notes at a time? 2 harmonised guitars? i mean i can play the notes, i figured out its in E minor but thats about as far as i go, also, i dont know in which position it is

>thin veneer layer
>"40% maple"

play sum metul in your 50 volt helios

this is her smile i want to protect with ... my dick

Play it in all positions. Transpose it to all keys in all positions. Harmonize it. Only way to get good

Bumblefoot could play eruption backwards when he was 13. It's not too late

Not sarcastic. I've never had one that broke and I've never had one that didn't sound exactly like the pedal it's cloning.

gibson have like 3 millimetre maple
chibsons have a photograph

...

that does not help at all.

also, is it really a good aproach to spend my whole 5 hours of practice just transposing one song around?

Not now, but eventually

DELET

>also, is it really a good aproach to spend my whole 5 hours of practice just transposing one song around?
evidently not

please just tell me how its being harmonized, is it played in the same guitar? two guitars? if so what harmonization?

Don't practice until you get it right, practice until you can't get it wrong.

wtf that intro riff sounds identical to my riff

im talking about the solo at 3:26

if you know the notes you should know whats happening here. 12 notes bro figure it out

is anyone ever nice to anyone around here for any reason?

Hey guys, been toying with this idea for a while now but I finally decided I'm gonna have a go making my own partscaster. Anyone got any tips?

its 1 guitar, playing octaves
@ 3:39 its an E power chord and Dmaj

I try to be

yes you said it dumbass


i'm

fucking trhank you so much anonymous hero

1 5/8" nuts feel so much better to me

dont thank me, get on your knees

build a superstrat with warmoth parts
and whole ebony neck

I'm a lefty considering learning guitar, should I just man up and learn to play right handed?

Whole ebony neck, that certainly would be interesting!

like ebony transexuals?

forgot to say whole ebony neck by warmoth is not from madagascar but from brazil and is cheaper.

Never seen them offer a full ebony neck.

most big name guitarists are lefties so give it a shot

Are Music Man guitars any good?

So i have recently parted with my guitars as i am moving across the country in two weeks and i plan on buying an electric guitar when i make the move. Is buying a MIM fender a meme? Are all fenders memes? I'm only looking to spend about 300-400 what would be my best option? I play with a lot of fuzz/distortion

they have stock atm
warmoth.com/Showcase/ShowcaseNeck.aspx?Body=1&Spotlight=1&Path=Spotlight&i=SN23206#.WiSLcpvkSHs

cool

>most big name guitarists are lefties
lolwut?!

That is actually extremely sexy

Learn the way that's most comfortable for you, which will be left handed.

im having some doubts about the harmony going on in the background.

The notes played by the bass are

E G A C B E

i want to understand the context so i try to play it as chords, so taking into account hte harmonization of the minor scale it would look like this:

Eminor Gmajor Aminor Cmajor Bminor Eminor

but that b minor doesn't sound good, if instead i play it as a major it sound perfect, but that makes no sense if the context is E minor, because the fifth grade of a minor scale is minor.

Where did my math go wrong here?

>Is buying a MIM fender a meme? Are all fenders memes?
no
I'm only looking to spend about 300-400 what would be my best option? I play with a lot of fuzz/distortion
then what does it matter, really? you're not looking to be Larry Carlton or Dave Gilmour, just get a squire and some pedals.

You are right ill probably buy another epiphone

another question, is it possible that in
youtube.com/watch?v=tGjD81pL9yg&t=2m20s
he's playing the hendrix chord?
