This headstock at Woodstock does not look right.

Got this off of OfferUp this morning. Never played bass before. Might be kind of weird learning on a 5-string but it was a good deal and I figure I can always either ignore the low B or capo it 5 frets up and treat it like a short scale.

What do y’all think?

that is photoshopped. Hendrix's Woodstock Strat had a 70's headstock.

>70s headstock
>in the 60s

WHY DO I SUCK SO MUCH

because you give up too easily, don't have talent or you didn't start at an early enough age. as simple as that

I-It was kind of like a rhetorical question user, i didn't need these truths

>But in December 1965, an even more significant—and visible—change was implemented. The Stratocaster’s headstock was enlarged and slightly re-shaped.
>And that’s how it stayed for the next 15 years. Many actually refer to the larger Strat headstock as the "'70s” or "'70s-era” headstock even though it was in production for the latter half of the 1960s, too.
I don't know why do I bother answering a pimple popper.

Looks nice user, love the maple fretboard. How much did you pay for it?

The only thing you can't fix there is
>you give up too easily

Are you low test or are you high test?

I traded an acoustic guitar I bought for 6 $150 six years ago and paid him an additional $100. Said he liked it but he’s not a 5-string kind of guy.

post Hammett feet

Ignore that number 6, student typo

havent played guitar in 5 or so years, and i want to get back into playing
problem is i dont know what to play, anyone got a list of songs that i can progress through to get back in?
genre or style doesnt matter

Stevie Ray Vaughan:
Mary Had a Little Lamb
Scuttle Buttin'
Travis Walk
I'm Cryin'
I Wanna Testify
Lenny

Django Reinhardt:
Minor Swing

Jimi Hendrix:
Freedom

There you go.
Those are kind of hard.

Fucking idiot guitarists were switching telecaster and stratocaster necks all the time in the 1970s.

What's the best type for fingerstyle? Parlor, OOO, Folk, Dreadnought?

Do you practice every day consistently or just whenever you feel like it?

When you practice are you learning new material or just noodling and playing stuff you already know?

I like the OOO!

>OfferUp
We have craigslist why do all these shitty websites even exist

...

I'm a NEET so i play nearly everyday, usually i just jump from tab to tab looking for something fun to play
That's the response i got from Google but for some reasons the only OOOs i find are cheap stuff between $150 and $300

OfferUp is a little less sketchy because they have a TrueYou system where you authenticate yourself with a photo of your driver’s license and your phone number.

And the Grand Auditorium

Well you got the Martins if you got the cash. I think the OOO X-series (AE-X or something) is around $1k.

Also, here's a cool playlist with fingerstyle songs if you want to play that.
They all seem hard, but if you stick to learning them, it's so rewarding
youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9KR0cbsAAWnjxHbXuvJbZy92u064TnC8

Not Hendrix.

Nice thanks for the playlist, i remember trying to play some Ewan Dobson songs when i first started guitar..i didn't get very far

Hol up, so you be saying that Yamaha THR10 is the quintessential bedroom practice amp?

What I came up with off the top of my head from Easy to Hard:

1. Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop
2. Judas Priest - Living After Midnight
3. Motley Crue - Looks That Kill
4. Ratt - Round and Round
5. Guns N Roses - Sweet Child O Mine
6. Children of Bodom - Bed of Razors
7. Avenged Sevenfold - Hail to the King
8. Metallica - Disposable Heroes
9. Megadeth - Tornado of Souls
10. Racer X - Technical Difficulties

Try that first song by Mike Dawes (Somebody That I Used to Know). I swear it's not hard as it looks like. It was the first song I tried to learn of that style, and it took me only 2 weeks to go over the whole tab. Of course I've been perfecting it for years after that, because I cut some corners on my first passthrough, but it's still fun to play. The only boring thing is that you have to retune your guitar, so you have to tune back if you want to play some other songs.
Also try that dude Daryl Kellie, his arrangements are nice. And Sungha Jung, whatever you like from him (Spirited Away theme is also a difficult arrangement, but very rewarding to play).

post younger hammett feet

Les Pauls without pickup covers always looked too naked for me

Anyone know how to go about installing a Hipshot two point bridge on this?

at least half of these bands are subversive jew bands

Please elaborate your answer in the form of a non idiot sentence.

youtube.com/watch?v=GvWRpcgAQ8s

I guess the instructions weren't clear enough.

it's not an answer to your question you dumb fuck

good stuff guys ty
you got any lists for folk or finger picking songs? i remember being able to play stairway to heaven and a few bob dylan tracks

also this idiot is not me

i'm not talking to you fucking idiotttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

i'm talking to you

>tfw your passion for playing comes back and you can feel yourself slowly getting better

That’s a great use of four dollars and is definitely not just throwing your money away.

Dust in the Wind is a pretty popular Travis Picking piece that's fairly easy.

i dont need passion to practice technique and gt better

Biggest trolls in music

i just realized Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison not only died at 27 but started their name with J how creepy is that

Jason Becker became paralyzed at 27

werent you banned

youtube.com/watch?v=_xu7W7wCBQw
watch yngwie showing you his stage setup consisting of 55 marshall heads

wat

you are 1 marshall dickhead

Supreme replying skills.

your comprehension skills are even supremer

amazon.com/dp/B007L585SG/ref=twister_B01DTMMG5C?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

is this a good beginner bass?

Englisher expertisimism.

not a fan of the "famous marshall breakdown"
i prefer mesa boogie mark 1 and dumble ods clones tho.

Sheeeeit i haves ta sand da WHOLE guitar? Fuck dat shit I aint no slave.

typical american """craftsmanship"""

Ey yo *smacks lips* Lemme Aks you a queshun. Do i haves to put a magnet in ALL dese mafuckas. Hell nah . aint nobody got time fo all dat boollsheeeit

Not as creepy as this.

Honestly it's not even an exaggeration when people say their korean guitars are better. They have a higher standard of labor because they get beaten and shit.

If you gave a korean factory the highest quality electronics and hardware, their guitars would make Gibsons look like toys.

>They have a higher standard of labor because they get beaten and shit.
People in the USA don't get beaten?

Man, that's depressing. Sorry, user.

still want a gibson tho

Tin foil hat guy strikes again!

yeah dont let the pajeet psyop you to settle with a squier.

that's a goddamn steal. You better play the shit out of it.

Go for it user, it's a nice piece of kit and looks good too. Amazon/Paypal refunds exist anyway so you can't really go wrong.

...

Not physically, but there's a reason people are content making $7/hr

...

That was for the tinfoil comment.

considering putting a turtle pickguard and bridge cover on my jag bass, pic related

in a scale of rosie o'donal to 10, how sexy is it

The only thing I'd ask is if it's more than you need. It's a great beginner's bass if that's your budget, but there's some good basses for $100-200 less too.

pickguard is cool but bridge covers get in the way i find

BOI IM BOUT TO DO IT

anyone?

There's string buzz at the nut on my Squier Tele now that wasn't there before. I changed from Regular Slinky to Heavy Top Skinny Bottom strings. now, i have nut buzz (but only when i hold it in playing position). I've tried lubing it with graphite, but it hasn't worked. I don't think its the action on my guitar. I'm a noob at this stuff, what do? Should I change back to regular slinkies?

Get a new nut that's cut for the new string gauge, idiot.

is good

>tele
vomit

I'm trying to copy The Cure's guitar tone. How would you all go about it? I'm working with a british samp with flanger and echo.

Rate my grain

Can't tell, the picture is too grainy

equipboard.com/pros/robert-smith
equipboard.com/pros/porl-thompson

every guitar that comes with emgs stock looks like shit. its unfortunate.

why you prefer dumble od clones what you think of them

why you posted that here

call me sam

get the nut filled

the wood behind the guitar has a better grain lel

but it looks nice

That’s a really nice photograph. Guitar is okay.

I never thought about it until you posted that now. You should see this movie, is about a guy like you called Sam.
Is that the original tremolo arm? It looks enormous.

Print on paper then glue on / 10

But our Sam has more of a handicap, also that Sam can probably actually play guitar.

tell me about it
