gonna start a band, do I have to teach my bandmates music theory so they don't get lost or do I have to dumb things down by saying play it like this
Wyatt Sanders
just got Rocksmith for my birthday, is it actually helpful for learning guitar? Anything in it that's different from what I already know from the internet?
Xavier Rogers
you'll probably waste more time playing the game than actually learning guitar desu senpai then you shut off rocksmith to play a better game
Juan Evans
I bet they're better than you...
Julian Nguyen
The latter will be more practical. I know, isn't it great?
Nicholas Gomez
he has an anime foot fetish
Jack Bell
That is one ugly Yui.
Jack Sanders
its crap do you think any of the guitar greats learned from a fucking video game ya ding dong diddly simp
>tube pedal for only $50 Are we entering the golden age of pedals?
Cameron Morris
Just ordered a blonde Telecaster.
Soys be mad.
Eli Adams
That's the best color for a Tele. Is the grain visible?
Juan Gray
rec me good games then pls
Parker Wright
Why do people dislike P90s around here?
Joseph Roberts
All of the hum of single coils with none of the glassy, chimey goodness.
Isaiah Wilson
My first guitar, did I dun goffed?
Sebastian Parker
>no Bigsby
Brody Jones
You did great. Hollowbodies sound great while being versatile.
Lucas Wood
Yes. Nitro obviously.
Mason Parker
Soon™
Landon Ward
Hollowbodies are not a beginner instrument.
Unless youre a jazz genius you will struggle with the overall experience.
Michael Perry
Why? What makes them advanced player territory?
Mason Jackson
>blonde >visible grain This is the patrician Tele finish. You did well, user. No vomit for you.
Ethan Moore
Op has good taste
Liam Peterson
I am new to bass and have got a Toby Standard IV (Pic related).
I've been thinking about selling it to buy something new, a bit better. Was thinking about an SG EB-0 or a Thunderbird Classic. I think they are better instruments in the hands of capable players, but I am still not one.
Considering this, is the trade worth it? Or should I just keep the Toby for now, considering I am not good at bass yet?
Camden Wilson
>hollowbody
John Wilson
Epi or Gibson?
Jayden Thompson
nothing just jazz faggots thinking their dead genre has any sort of listening fanbase, play what you want
Dylan Rivera
Size. Set-up (if its bad). Bridge.
This is the optimal way to learn:
acoustic nylon guitar>acoustic steel guitar>electric guitar without tune-o-matic bridge>electric with tune-o-matic bridge
Luis Morales
Meh, it's probably a starved plate. Not full voltage so the tube isn't really utilized
Because different guitars need different techniques.
You should ALWAYS start acoustic.
Lincoln King
>tfw the urge of creating a DIY build or customizing a flea market find intensifies
Sebastian Torres
load of garbage
Jaxson Diaz
When you can play Xanadu you're good at bass.
Daniel Watson
I don't want to play different guitars why do Istill have to learn like 5 guitars that you mentioned
Bentley Wood
will it sound better if i play electric with the same strength i play the acoustic?
Easton Long
Epiphone, too poorfag for a gibson >Size. Lol I play bass, this thing feels like a toy to me > Set-up (if its bad). yeah can be bitch to set up but hey, Its what I like, and what drives me to play >Bridge. Fixable I'll asume
Nathan Cook
whats your problem with tune o matic bridge? you find them hard to play?
Zachary Cox
>tfw no craviola
Tyler Johnson
Hdjdhfhfh
Eli Stewart
BeatBuddy. Yes or no?
Charles Campbell
Why would you beat your buddy?
Hunter Harris
How do you like this finish? It has creme binding.
Eli Adams
That's what it is though. Don't archtops need bridges like this by definition?
Owen Smith
all archtops need is some gas and a match
Charles Reyes
yeah but op's guitar isn't an archtop, it's a semihollow
Ethan Hall
>clueless fa/gg/ot can't tell the difference between a Gibson™ and a chink shitplank without looking at the headstock >tourist fa/gg/ot doesn't know the difference between op and user
James Turner
I can dig it
Oliver Sanders
beautiful guitar man, congratulations. Don't listen to the faggots here. The important thing is you got something you want to play.
Now you need a nice tube amp to bring that thing to life. I'd suggest a fender, and keep it at or under 15watt if it's just a practice amp as they are MUCH louder than solid state (and sound way better)
Nathaniel Robinson
thanks I think getting something that drives you to play it is the most important thing when buying an instrument, about the amp, for now I'll use a bass amp, but I'm gassing for a vox ac15
Dominic Gomez
can't go wrong with a vox ac15 either, those are perfect for an es 335
Carson Sanchez
>beautiful guitar Why lie? Or has the word beautiful been redefined to include Chinese garbage?
Jacob Watson
I bought my first amp recently, a Fender Champion 20. It's pretty neat, has a bunch of effects, voicings etc. I can play both metal and jazz with my Squier Strat using it. I know it's not a great amp, but it fits in my place and it's very affordable.
Grayson Wilson
yeah not sure whats the fender alternative to the ac15, I remember trying a 40w fender and it sounded like a dream, but its above my budget
Adam Gray
that'll do for a tiny practice amp, but I'd start saving up for a bassbreaker, specifically the 15watt 1x12 combo. It will do what the champion does but sound a LOT better, and give you the ability to play with a band because of increased output.
Leo Lewis
chinese guitars don't necessarily look bad, they just generally have worse fit + finish and that results in worse tone (generally).
Most people don't make money with music, and a lot of this cheap stuff...well it just werks
Levi Wood
What's an expensive tube amp that I can buy? I feel like burning money.
William Diaz
save your money and get some lessons instead my man you be glad you did, gonna save up for some lessons
Levi Thomas
you motherfuckin bastard i am so jealous right now rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr how's it sound?
Robert Sanders
My last guitar lesson was ~14 years ago...
Noah Price
Does string gauge affect the action? (Bass)
Aaron Cruz
yep
Logan Russell
For lower action what should i get?
Cooper Phillips
F O U R T E E N
Gavin Nelson
You were taking lessons when you were two?
Tyler Phillips
I quit taking lessons when I was 16/7.
Thomas Howard
For me it was helpful with learning songs and got me into guitar. More of a kickstart and then it becomes a utility to learn songs. You still need to practise outside of it though.
If you are on PC, buy Cherub Rock and you can get CDLC. Pirate the rest of the DLC, some will work some won’t from my experience.
Asher Brown
P90s are goat. Fender soapbars are shit.
Samuel Carter
Enjoy your feedback
Justin Nguyen
stfu
get mediums or lights
Ethan James
You are in your 30s and still don't own a tube amp?
Kayden Murphy
Bogner shiva
Carter Howard
A setup done by a professional.
Nathaniel Morgan
No, I stopped for around 10 years once I graduated from college. Thank you. I'll see if a guitar shop has one I could try.
Joshua Wood
Also try some of the friedmans, and a rockerverb. All great amps, but the shiva has better cleans imo
Juan Price
I'm all about cleans but I'm sure I'm going to drive myself crazy trying to find the perfect overdriven sound.
Adam Reed
So, I've been playing guitar for about 11 years. I've been working really hard to develop a strong practice routine to improve my technique, and I've been hitting the books working on theory and composition. I've been thinking about looking into some beginner guitar lessons, to reinforce basic concepts. Would it be worth it? No matter how long I've been playing, and no matter how good I get, I still feel like a beginner.
Adrian Parker
Well senpai. The shiva might be just for you then. Friedmans are what marshalls should have been if they didn’t move almost everything to china. And the rockerverb is a beast for medium and high gain.
Colton Sanders
You're probably just shit at guitar. It's not for everyone.
Cameron Davis
Thanks again -- hopefully I can find a shiva around me. High gain reminds me of hair metal and makes me feel like I'm wearing ear muffs or something.
Kevin Campbell
Everyone tells me I'm great at it, I just feel like there's still a lot for me to learn. I like playing relatively technical stuff. To put my skill level into perspective, the last song I finished learning was Grace by Lamb of God. Before that I learned Marigold by Periphery, kinda got inspired by the video Rick Beato did on it. Right now I'm working C'est La Vie by Protest The Hero. I just feel like where I'm at isn't good enough. The only "lessons" I've taken was the month or so of guitar we had to do in 6th grade, which just kinda had us strum some chords and shit. I thought taking actual lessons and re-learning the basics might help me get to where I want to be. I was just trying to see if anyone else had done something similar, to judge if it'd be worth it.
Andrew Campbell
He's shit at guitar because he didn't play. I learned drums by playing for an hour a day for 4 years, when I miss days I make up the hours. I've """played""" guitar for longer, six years, but never consistently, and felt like a beginner every time I picked up the guitar until recently. It's about the hours. If you put in the hours, there's way way you won't be "good." Being a lazy nigger for 11 years, I seriously doubt mastery. If about 10000 hours is required to master a craft, you've already wasted so much time.
Sebastian Martinez
Seeing that you judge your worth as a guitar player by the number of bad metal songs you've learned tells me you're shit.
Or learn to do it yourself. Setup isn't about a set of strings. It's about preparing the guitar to accept the intended set of strings.
Christopher Moore
Who /hoarder/ here?
Joshua Thompson
Dubs rang?
Charles Wilson
>no strings i can't breathe
Isaiah Phillips
Your wife is kind of hot. You kid... not so much.
Brayden Martinez
Wrong on both counts.
Jaxson Martinez
I mean, I'm not just into metal, those are just the most recent things I've learned. Guitar isn't even the only instrument I play. You seem kind of elitist, man. People would probably like you more if you tried to tone that down a little.
Ah well. Was worth asking I guess. Guess that's what I get for asking an honest question on a board like this.
