First comment

Just got an interface to record with. Gonna have the house to myself tomorrow to record.

Anime yayyyy

that an ass

Are multieffect pedals worth it?

I'm restringing my electric guitar, and the high E string snapped. Could I use the high E string from my acoustic string pack instead? The only problem is the high E from my acoustic pack is an 11, which is the same as my B string on my electric.

just go get a new set of strings, they're $5

i guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow to do that.

Forgot the obligatory videos, what's your reason to not play classical guitar user?
youtube.com/watch?v=1Vq3zCFPjfk

usually not.

Hard mode: With the same guitar.

How many of you gig actively?

>got a Cort M600 from Cash Converters for $270

Did I do good lads?

I don't actually have a creative bone in my body so I study theory obsessively. Wanna exchange gear pics since we have no music clips to share? Or maybe we could be Rocksmith bros!

I do, have a show lined up on for the 29th. Had a show at a really nice venue in my city earlier this month but had to cancel because our drummer had the flu (still kind of super bummed about that.)

Nope.

You need four-five pedals that will get you through 99% of all guitar music:

>overdrive
>wah
>chorus
>delay
>tuner

You can get all of those for less than $300 total. An EHX Soul Food, widely regarded as one of the best OD pedals to come out in years, can be picked up for $50 used. Same with a standard Dunlop Crybaby. A good chorus pedal will cost around $100. TC Electronic has a really nice little delay pedal. And all of it will sound better than any multi-fx board and probably last a lot longer.

Multi-fx boards are cute when you're just starting out but pedals are a much better investment.

Yeah but you also need a pedalboard, whether you buy or build one that's at least 100$. And also another 100$ for a quality power supply. And you also need a case of some sort to lug it around in.

I agree, pedals >multi fx but still.

>tfw a friend of mine decided to start playing the keyboard
>tfw I now can jam with someone and I'm not alone anymore
>vocaroo.com/i/s08375y3SqAh

I'm so happy guys

Line 6 m9 is the only multi-effects processor to give any consideration. It's good.

Acoustic guitar you sissy

I have an FX8 that I enjoy.

nice ass

Haha, you're not the only one who saw that.

I have left my Taylor 716 in its case for 6 months without a humidifier. How fucked am I? I'm afraid to open the case

I just bought a 2000 euro guitar

What's a euro guitar?

not anymore, since our bass player left for america for a year. he's returning in january, we should be picking it back up at that point.

It'll be fine.

Humidifiers can cause other problems.

>She asks "Do you play?"
What lick/riff/scale do you solo in to melt her panties off?

Usually C Dorian improve 16th note triplets at 180 bpm

...

...

the opening lick to "i want it that way", played properly, without a capo, with the slide note.
then, "bye bye bye".
then, "always be my baby".

How's this guitar called?

Piece of shit

They're actually spectacular guitars. The headstock is a bit polarizing though

...

James makes some that are really nice, but it's hard to justify his prices.
>inb4 poorfag

Vomit

How much are they

is david pajo tiny or is this guitar huge?

$3500 +

He's really short, met him once, hes probably around 5'1

I guess it a guitar for lawyers and doctors

What are your favourite neck specs?

1 5/8" nut
Medium C carve
12" radius

expected ITAOTS

>dude multieffects suck lmao
Maybe $50 DOD ones do but not high end boards. Infinite tonal possibilities, infinite combinations and user presets, no worries about signal chain, no tone sucking from 10 plus pedals, no need to worry about true or buffered bypass

Multifx can't do analog tones. Nobody wants to hear the harsh plastic creaminess that multifx units impart

>muh analog tonez
Let me guess, you believe mahogany is "creamier" than maple too?

Medium C to D
Compound
9ish to 14ish r.

Sucks when someone spills beer on it though.

Thanks for the info. I'm just starting out and tried my friend's mfx and some of the things I like are flanger, tape echo/delay, overdrive. I'm not really in the loop, but do the pedals you suggest comprise more than 1 effect? Like would a delay pedal have multiple types of delay?

how the fuck do I play this thing

With you hands, feet and knees.

R8 my guitar? I got a new neck along with Jackson pickups and a custom kill switch. The only thing is I don't know the name of the the brand. My uncle says it's opo but I can't find any others on google.

Kek as it does with anything powered by electricity

If it's digital, yes
It's olp, Ernie ball music man's version of squire

>Jackson pickups

M A G N U M E D

Sup Forums in a nutshell. You fucking nailed it.

Repost from previous thread:

I haven't played a guitar in 8 years but it's been a while since and my wife wants me to get back into music for our daughter.

I've owned a Fender MIA Strat, an Epiphone Les Paul, and a Fender Telecoustic, although for a few months I did play with a BC Rich Mockingbird a friend lent me.

I was originally considering an MIM Strat/Tele but the prices in Canada have jumped since last I looked. Like what was $500 in 2009 is now $800, so I think I may pass on that.

Has anyone here used Godin guitars? It's a Canadian company and as such the pricing is a little cheaper. I was also looking at an Epiphone Casino or an Ibanez (I hear they're good value-for-cost).

Any thoughts?

You mean Joe walsh

I got to play a 12 string hollow body electric at my local guitar store. What a treat to play.

Eastwood?

What amps do you guys play?

For me, it's Orange

>memeange
They sound good but are massively overpriced

Peavey, marshall, fender, orange, valco, vox, blackstar, hughes & kettner. I own at least 2 from each of those, and I think I'm missing a couple as well, and I have like 2 dozen crap SS amps.

I want pic related so fucking bad

...

OR15s are 700 bucks, thats pretty good pricing

A 50 watt rockerverb is 1900, a marshall 1987x is 2100

Godin's are fine guitars. John McLaughlin plays them.

Whatever ed sheeran song is currently popular

Definetly my choice for moms

literally who is this grandpa?

This looks like it belongs in fallout new Vegas

What do you guys think?

I don't know what you are trying to say with this. It sounds very stock like a granola bar commercial trying to explain how good for you it is. What emotion are you attempting to convey, because it gets less stock in the second half but there is never an established melody you return to. It just sounds like noodling with a cappo. Although it is tightly played.

I guess ‘comfy’ if that’s my emotion. I really appreciate your criticism though, user, I haven’t been able to get a lot of feedback on this stuff.

I got kicked out of my band for playing a Fender because Only a Gibson Is Good Enough™. But I can't afford a Gibson®. I guess I'll quit music

You should get rid of the whale songs and make a nice melody over your chords. Oh sing one with a harmony.

youtu.be/_AGYh4K5rPk
This one has a more traditional structure to it.
>whale sounds
It made me laugh but which part are you talking about? The very beginning?
Whale sounds reminds me of when I was trying to learn sweep picking and it came out sounding like turkey gobbles because it was so sloppy kek

Yeah the delayed out guitar.

This one sounds more fleshed out, but I would avoid using harmonics too much and make it more dynamic. The volume is consistant throughout where the slowdown in the middle would sound nicer if played softer and then with a gradual increase in volume back to the starting point.

Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks dude! I’m getting ready for recording these with a full band and a couple other songs. Looks like I have some writing to do.

>stock

>comfy

Good, we don't need more shatocasters and faguars.

Hot take from user

My wife left me for my exwife because Only a Gibson® Is Good Enough™. My 1st exwife got my Gibson® in the divorce and I could only afford a Fender afterwards. I tried to buy an Epiphone to win back my 2nd exwife but she just laughed while my 1st exwife played sweet child of mine in the background. It sounded just like slash, she even wore a top hat. Then my 2nd exwife got my epiphone and fender in the divorce. They tied them to the back of their limo after their wedding like tin cans.

hey /gg/, i really need help, i'm thinking of hey a new guitar tomorrow
thoughts on the squier vintage modified Jazzmaster?

>squier

Only a Gibson Is Good Enough™. Don't get a squier if you want to be taken seriously as a musician.

...

having trouble with guitar chord recognition with justins exercises. Are you guys afctually good at this or should i skip it cos i always get it a little OFF ARGH

What do you mean by chord recognition? Like hearing a chord and knowing what it is? I'm good at that, I couldn't tell you exactly what it is unless I have a reference pitch or know what key it's in(relative pitch). But if I hear an open G, C, D, A, E or something else basic I know exactly what it is. If someone were to play a barred G# half diminished or suspended 4th I could tell you what type of chord it is, and get close to the right note. I wouldn't be 100% sure it was a G# unless I already heard another note. If I played a C# I would immediately know the chord was a G#. I'm currently practicing perfect pitch.

It's really useful.

r8 my friends guitar piece. i think its p cool and doesnt afraid of anything, and want some outside r8

shit man i struggle i think. I can recognise chords sometimes but sometimes I will get confused with chords that sound similar.. this is very tough :(

how old are you and how much time have you been training that?
