What’s the deal with Jazzmaster bridges? I’m ignorant about a ton of guitar stuff and wanted to know what the issue is, because I’m thinking about buying one at some point.

how do you comb your guitar hair? ive been splitting it on the middle and combing the center lane to the back

Been playing guitar for 8 years now, and I feel like I want to begin actually practicing more. I consider myself pretty good but nowhere near an expert player. In the beginning when I picked up guitar I practiced all the time but now I'm more into writing and improving by writing stuff that challenges me. However I'm finding now that as I improve my writing skills and explore more musically I'm starting to lack more behind in my technical skills in comparison. I get a lot of ideas that I can't play as I'd want to because I'm not technical enough. I want to start routinely practicing to improve consistently.
Anyone got any tips or routines that can be used to improve? What do you guys do to practice?

Right now I mostly listen to and write prog metal by myself, and I play in a melodic death metal band where I also write.
Lincoln Sanders
Interesting, i just joined a prog metal band. What's your rig?
Jason Bailey
Gibson Buckethead signature Les Paul -> Horizon Precision Drive -> Peavey 6505 (line 6 multi-FX in the effect loop for reverb + delay and some boost-EQ on leads)
Still need to buy a real cab, using a shitty Behringer 4x12 that a guy from the other band who rehearses there had and wasn't using so let me borrow it.
At home when I record it's just the guitar into Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 into Reaper and using Bias as amp-sim.
Nice, I had a 6505+ for a while. How do you like the buckethead lp? Seeing him soon actually.

hello my dudes I need some counceling on a chorus/vibrato pedal. right now I have the julia and I'm interested in pic related but I hear it has too much compression and some units can be noisy. can anyone confirm and how good is the lofi junky chorus. I like all the demos of the vibrato but no one talks about its chorus capabilities.
Kayden Thompson
I need help with a buzzing issue, for some reason on my Marshall mg15cfr I get a buzzing as though there is an issue with grounding, but it only appears on the overdrive channel. Should I worry or is it just the sound of the channel itself?
Grayson Robinson
its ss piece of crap sell it and get a toobe one.
Parker Harris
It's awesome. Plays great and sounds amazing (imo). It can do lots of different sounds since it has coil-splitting too. Killswitches are fun but don't get much use from me. Since it's oversize and increased scale length it can feel pretty weird to play "normal" guitars now that I'm so used to it, but I think it's good that I get forced to stretch more with it. Bought it in beginning of 2011 I think and haven't regretted it since.
Wyatt Price
kek u mad fuckup
Robert Parker
They can rattle, especially the cheap ones with poor tolerances. Also the strings don't stay in the grooves if you play aggressively. A staytrem or mastery bridge fixes all of those problems.
portmanteau of cum and guitar, are you new round here ?

I currently own the Champion 20 from Fender and I’m gonna buy this Champion 100. I know most of you guys are fond of tube amps, but I’m wondering if some of you actually prefer solid states and why?
Benjamin Thomas
i like all amps. each one has a different texture.
Liam Rodriguez
>ss disgusting
Jason Smith
>do you guys practice every single day? Yes >what's you routine? I may learn a few bars of a song every day until I complete it. I'm proficient now with playing and technical stuff, so right now I just practice chord progressions, inversions, weird melodies, mode changes, etc. It usually involves writing a quick backing track myself and working over it afterwards.
Chase Reyes
Roland jc120 is a classic
Evan Campbell
I'm around 3 months into guitar playing. Would a pick like this be holding me back from achieving good picking speed? Should I be using something smaller and pointier, like a Jazz III?
Nathaniel Cook
No, are you trolling? I can't tell. It's a good pick style and won't hold you back. It's all a matter of preference anyway, try many other picks with different thickness and styles and figure the one you like.
Lincoln Morris
i can pick just as fast with a 53mm nylon pick
Justin Thomas
you can only have a clean channel with solid state any valve amp is incapable of producing true clean tones
Cooper Scott
>Would a pick like this be holding me back No don't worry about that stuff
Dylan Harris
>good picking speed you shouldnt be concerned with that, you should focus on phrasing rithm and tempo. So you dont end like jcum900.
Hunter Gutierrez
Might as well get a jazz iii, it's the best shape. I recommend the ultex or carbon fiber max grips
Solid state would be better for someone who prefers getting their dirt from their pedalboard and wants great clean tones from their amp. It's cheaper and lighter.
Chase Cox
Not trolling just new to guitar and worried I won't reach my max picking speed potential. What about the way I hold the pick? I know it's supposed to be index and thumb, but I tend to use index thumb and middle finger. Pick feels more stable. Is this fine?
Chase Kelly
>max picking speed potential God damn it roman
Sebastian Sanchez
But i want to reach my true natty speed!
Christopher Hernandez
Seems pretty good but her vibrato needs work.
Aaron Lee
tube is better for cleans too
no problem. whatever works better for you.
Robert Butler
have slighty off-tempo issues here and there.
Xavier Russell
Does anyone have a pdf of Hal leonards Guitar Method?
Dominic Harris
>tube is better for cleans too It can be just as good in some cases but it's certainly not better.
Brayden Watson
To anyone who's better than me at music theory (literally anyone at all), how do you know when to throw in a chord variation into a chord progression that you have? Like if I had C - Em - G progression as a basic example, how would I know when it would be OK to add a Cadd9 in, or mix it up with a G5 or something similar? Is it just fucking around with it to see what's good?
Kayden Lopez
>Is it just fucking around with it to see what's good? This certainly works and there's nothing wrong with this.
Benjamin Wood
it can not be "better" because its very architecture is incapable of producing clean sound when you increase its volume
Aiden Nguyen
trust your ears, grasshopper
Cooper Long
My Squire Strat has an issue when being plugged into my amp; there is a very loud buzzing noise even when the guitar is not being played. It's an issue with the hole to insert the jack. If I fiddle around with it, I can find a sweet spot where there is no longer any buzzing, however it doesn't stay in place. I opened it up and I don't see any issues with the wiring. The hole where the jack goes in is quite loose though, I think the issue has something to do with the jack touching something it's not supposed to, like another part of metal. Should I post an image or does anyone know how to fix it from what I've posted?
Bend the tab on the Jack forward so it's not loose anymore
Anthony Thompson
Wrap a bit of tin foil around the first half of the plug, then put it in.

William Cruz
Got it gang, I'll just experiment with progressions I have and see how I can mix them up with alternative chords. Thanks!
Ethan Young
go find a chord wheel
Leo Roberts
What do you feel works best for improving - trying to learn new songs and upping the difficulty of the songs you're learning or practicing routines just focused on different techniques etc. ?
William Ward
marshall super lead plexi: both the rithmn and the solo.
Jeremiah Williams
can regular SS amps be modified to have preamp and poweramp tubes
Dominic Martin
i dont remember what it's like to improve
Aaron King
Some solid state sounds good, but most is made to be cheap and has a logo stamped to it.
While not as cheap, tube equipment is very simple and does most things right for guitarists. But it is getting a lot more affordable thanks to cheap parts and labor. If they could design out the transformers, the pt being more doable.
There need to be nuvistor amps. They're small tubes (size of a pencil eraser, lower plate voltage, similar characteristics as larger tubes).
Landon Sanders
why bother just buy an Atomic´s Amplifire.
David Ramirez
to have diferent sounds
Robert Reyes
yeah with amplifire you will have a lot of sounds.
I view all these chords as being derived from the C Major pitch collection [CDEFGAB]. If you extend those chords out to use every note of the pitch collection in each chord you get:
Cmaj13, Em7b9b13, and G13
Pic related: Notice how every note of the C Major Scale is used in the form of a chord.
Since G is the V of C, you can also alter the fuck out of it and use practically any other note (the black keys on the piano, since we're using C major) as well. So that would give you the b5, #5, b9, and #9. The only one to be careful with would be the natural 7, but you could use that as a passing tone in a line.
Anyway, I guess this is probably just confusing and not helpful.

I'm autistic and socially awkward. Me and my boyfriend just set up a room for his drum set and my guitars, and i think we play pretty well together. I'm 80% a rhythm player though and I'm considering asking one of his buddies to come jam with us once in awhile. How do I ask someone to more or less try out for our band? Seriously clueless right now. I'm a girl btw
