why doing spiders always puts me to literally sleep
Parker Gomez
what would it take for "organic" music to come back? radio's filled with electronic shit and I think I've reached my peak with it
also do you guys like guitars like this
Brody Ortiz
Organic huh
Cooper Martinez
Thinking of getting one of the new 2018 Ibanez guitars since some of them look phenomenal. Was looking at a $1000 iron label RGD but saw it wasn't Japanese made; I could get a "real" Prestige for $200-300 more, but without some of the more high end specs I'd like (Fluence pickups vs Duncan/DiMarzio, tone woods, etc).
Which would you say is more bang for the buck? I've heard great things about the iron label line but it's still an import line at the end of the day.
Kevin Hill
lol idk what to call it. just music with actual instruments innit
Cooper Moore
computers are an instrument
Hudson Brown
because spider is a useless exercise
Owen Smith
>what would it take for "organic" music to come back? All the music executives to be replaced. The current music executives are acting in concert as part of a larger cultural narrative right now, attempting to erase a very specific culture, and rock music is part of this very specific culture.
Christian Ortiz
If you were really concerned about bang for buck you'd learn how to do guitar setup and modification and then look for guitars in the $100-200 used range. "Turd polishing," as it is derisively referred to by those unskilled enough to do it, is the final frontier of bang for buck.
Charles King
why?
Jace Cox
This is the pinnacle of edgy guitars, and it makes me angry that I'll never be able to play one.
Luke Torres
i can't take off my loxx straplock, it just doesnt turn, i think it's because its one of those "leather" straps. help
Benjamin Perry
>not just using cheap rubber washers from the hardware store If I got any more specific it'd derail the thread into Sup Forums territory so I'm not going to do that. You should go ask them why rock music is disappearing if you're interested.
Oliver White
I know how to mod and setup guitars; the only thing I (thankfully?) haven't done is a truss rod replacement. I work for a company that has a deal with ibanez so I'd essentially get 50% off the prices listed. $500-700 is worth it for a high end instrument I'd say, especially factoring in all the work hours and money spent on spare parts. Maybe should've mentioned that in the beginning.
I'm more trying to get a feel for how the high end import stuff from Ibanez or other companies compares to the lower end of their top shelf lines.
Mason Hughes
>I'm more trying to get a feel for how the high end import stuff from Ibanez or other companies compares to the lower end of their top shelf lines. I'm not sure this is possible with a sample size of one from each.
Xavier Rodriguez
no problem, yu can get more specific here
Nolan Thompson
washers to help take the loxx off or as a replacer?
Brayden Taylor
...
Jack Martinez
As a replacement. Cheap rubber washers from the hardware store literally function as strap locks. You put it on the strap button over the strap and it locks it in place. They sell them as strap locks for a much higher price than you'd find at the hardware store; Joe Bonamassa, for one, uses the Fender brand ones. There's no reason to buy the expensive ones made for guitars, though. You can find ones that'll work just fine at any hardware store.
Eli Garcia
Are those axe-fx units really the future? Should I start saving for one right now?
>The current music executives are acting in concert as part of a larger cultural narrative right now you make it sound like a conspiracy...
Luis Bennett

Noah Morales
Pic related. It's just a rubber washer. It works just fine, though. Also, lol, turns out Bonamassa is selling his own brand of these now.
Andrew Bell

Gavin Green
>Are those axe-fx units really the future? If they get better, yes. They still have some troubles emulating some types of distortion. Not that distortion will matter in the future. We'll all be playing unplugged.
Dylan Martin
i doubt it could take all my high energy moves. and it could fall off when heres no pressure being applied (p.e. when its on the air) .
Lincoln Lee
>in the future. We'll all be playing unplugged. why
Jack Moore
Well, I can't vouch for them working for someone who thinks they're a fucking gymnast instead of a musician, but for the rest of us they work fine.
Hunter Bennett
Hi.
Joshua Campbell
you mean a performer instead of a nerd that sits still playing their lines.
Hudson Stewart
>it could fall off when heres no pressure being applied
Anthony Russell
>gibson reaper bass did he make a gene simmons tone vid
Robert Murphy
Opinions on V-shapes? Not for edginess but I really like how they sit in my lap
Kevin Gomez
I like his videos, but I truly don't know if all the comments on his videos praising his playing are trolling or not.
Jaxson Martin
youtube.com/watch?v=lYRMfUvEo1Q why me makes a comparision vid of two unpopular basses that havent been produced in 40 years
Nathan Young
How high do you wear your guitar, /gg/?
Noah Bennett
>this is the pinnacle of soy
Alexander Richardson
Everything about that is fucking terrible
Juan Powell
give me some sexy acoustic
Nolan Morgan
today we're going to sheck out
Ethan Ross
If standing still like an autist playing their lines extremely well is good enough for Derek Trucks to make a living doing it, it's good enough for me.
Thomas Turner
post your guitars. They are pretty.
Blake Morris
That's a pretty Gretsch.
Jordan Price
...
Jordan Rodriguez
i wear her just over my dick. a little lower than perfectly over it. i also like putting it between my legs like im fucking her while performing
Noah Smith
What other guitars do you have? I feel like I have seen that Gretsch with some company.
Ethan Williams
lmao you think you're as good as derek trucks and not only that but you think you can make a living off your shitty playing? any guitarist worth his shit can play his lines well while dancing and stuff
Christian Sullivan
not mine, i saved it from a similar thread last week
Christian Brooks
He's better than me at slide but I'm better than him without a slide. Realtalk.
Ryan Gonzalez
I go full punk high energy on stage, and the washers work just fine. I have even done the guitar flip and it was no issue. If you still fear it, you can still buy metal washers as tight as you want, there are many solutions that don't involve complicated systems like the one you posted.
Grayson Robinson
>I posted it again guise!
Caleb Richardson
>I'm better than him without a slide. You know that's a lie.
Hudson Lopez
I've only posted that pic...I think this is 3 times. Other people post their gear, why can't I?
Camden Rodriguez
My hand strums between bellybutton and dick height naturally, so there. I wear the bass a little higher though.
Thomas Ward
can i get a good acoustic guitar for a hundred bucks ?
Jayden Stewart
Yes.
Jayden Moore
this chick got legs for days
Lucas Lewis
his playing style's catchy enough for me to take note and like
Gavin Reyes
post feet
Wyatt Thomas
Used, probably, yeah. Are you implying there's been a pattern to the recent OPs?
Been playing acoustic awhile and looking to get into electric on the cheap, would this be a good starting setup? If not hit me with some recommendations.
pro tip: lurk guitarcenter's used section for cheap mid-range gear you can get a ds1 for like 30 bucks elsewhere also the cheaper epiphones are hot garbage, get a yamaha pacifica
Carter Davis
>cheaper epiphones not him but is the Epiphone Dot any good? wanna make it my next purchase
Cooper Ross
depends on the year. They have change the manufacturing country several times. The korean ones are nice. The chinese not so much. Don't call him a shredder. He's way better than that. He doesn't play mindlessly.
Eli Miller
About half of the cheaper Epiphones have great necks and thus make excellent modding/setup platforms.
Nathaniel Wright
If you want an SG looking guitar, look for Epiphone G400 in your local adds. In either faded finish or poly, both are good. At the same time look for the same pedal in your locals. For a practice amp, I guess that's fine. Though you can look up used ones too.
Personally I prefer other companies 335 versions, like Ibanez. That said, only epiphone gives you the 335 legit look.
Gabriel Gonzalez

Brandon Collins
Don't get that guitar it sucks.
Buy a used strat on craigslist, get a vox tube amp, tc electronics makes the best cheap pedals
Is that guitar body on another guitar that isn't a FG signature model? I really like the contours of it.
Cooper Ramirez
Ed Sheeran
Logan Morales
sure but a beginner doesn't want to do that stuff until later.
Connor Martin
Do not order a cheap guitar online. There is a 50/50 chance it'll have a shit neck and will thus be complete shit no matter how much setup/modding you do to it. If you have a friend who is an experienced guitarist, have them come shopping in person with you and have them pick out a cheap guitar with a good neck. A cheap guitar with a good neck makes a great blank canvas for further setup/modding. You can turn it into something that plays and sounds like a $2,000+ guitar. There's nothing you can do with a guitar with a shit neck other than replace the neck.
Tyler Ramirez

Benjamin Gonzalez
anyone know where to get a strat tremolo arm for a vintage style bridge? My guitar didn't come with one.
Lucas Foster
my brazilian computer blew up this morning
Luke Bennett
Anyone have a guitar style midi controller? I wanna get one
Christian Bell
>shred=mindless everyone laugh at the brainlet
Landon Cruz
I want to get a Fishman TriplePlay
Carson Rogers
Any online store should sell that. Just take notice of which one you need. As a rule of thumb, guitars made in asia tend to use metric and guitars made in usa tend to have in, for screws, distances and so on. A squier arm might not fight a Fender MIA one, and so on.
Evan Davis
is it a good idea of buying one for my homestudio instead of learning keyboard/piano?
Parker Phillips
we had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
who here likes that song
Daniel Young
well i've got a keyboard but I can't be bothered getting good at it just want a guitar midi controller to put ideas down quickly
Ethan Parker
my dad likes it
Owen Carter
Me.
Kevin Gray

Asher Sullivan

Logan Barnes
Why did Steve Clark have to die so soon? He had the best customs.
Christian Watson
for buying? we still have the ace frehley signature customs
Logan White
>plays and sounds like a $2,000+ guitar. the pajeet is at it again.
Evan Cooper
does the /gg/ has a pedal/effects guide?
Lincoln Scott
Well, in general. His solos were strong on Pyromania and High 'N' Dry.
That said, I did get a [spoiler]chink[/spoiler] replica of one of his guitars built a while back.
Oliver Wright
6k used, 8k new. They look REALLY good though, I played one and damn, if I wasn't a cheap bitch and already had an LP I'd get one.
