Great deal on a sick guitar, but do you guys think the neck can be recovered?

[ocean arch]

damn that's a good deal

[ocean arch]

maybe you could make a piece and wood glue it in? I think it would be easier to just get a new neck tbh

[wary oyster]

Yea, he'll take $600 too

Currently I'm thinking sand it down, just a little, and then seal it clear. It'll probably still some color but hopefully less shitty looking and more "worn in" looking lol

[mortal torrent]

You may as well just buy a new neck

Then you can get something that's better quality

Bolt on necks are a piece of piss to replace

It's why bands that do the smash guitar thing use those for that

[wary oyster]

You can just buy this neck though, I've never seen one for sale

30in scale length

[ocean arch]

they will be available somewhere

[wary oyster]

Please point me in the right direction then, I havent found anything and have been looking for couple days lol

[loud wyvern]

Just bought 2 3mm Jazz IIIs and they feel amazing! A little small but i can get used to it

[acoustic cobalt]

1 - 1.14 mini jazz IIIs >>>

oops caps

[loud wyvern]

Cant pinch harmonic on them for some reason, but I also cant pinch harmonic on the prodigies either, only my JP Jazz IIIs

idk man you gotta try the Dunlop 3mm ones. They’re heavenly

[acoustic cobalt]

too thick for me ngl

[loud wyvern]

They’re my first pick thicker than 1.5

[acoustic cobalt]

anything more than 1.5 just feels slow for me

[shrewd peak]

All hail the holy pedal

I'm thinking of getting one tbh

anybody here got one?

[gritty garden]

I have the drop part

[verbal fossil]

this very pedal is right next to me

[modest sequoia]

I have the whammy without the drop and it's a very... fun pedal

[fossil sedge]

https://youtu.be/f_RZSAJ-43c

still can't play Bleed but I can definitely understand what's actually going on now :0

[ocean arch]

David Schneider is a pretty good guitar youtuber

and he's German so he's cool

[timid flicker]

what do you think of the JEMJRSP

[modest ravine]

anyone know of a decent stand like this for 10 guitars

so basically that exact one

[gritty garden]

Also Hercules do one

[modest ravine]

yeah i just saw that one

[gritty garden]

It's the one I have

[modest ravine]

how is it

[gritty garden]

It's a stand, it's fine. Does the job and easy to pack up if needed

I have 9 on it currently

[modest ravine]

did you just buy 2 of these and the expansion kit?

[gritty garden]

They supply 5 spacers and grips, you need to buy extras if you want more than 5

[gritty garden]

I just bought the 5/10 rack and a couple of expansion kits.

[ocean arch]

looks a bit like mine, but bigger

[modest ravine]

gotcha, thanks

[wind mauve]

if i wanted opinions on which neuraldsp to get would this be the place

[toxic wharf]

Ye

[modest ravine]

depends on what genre you're using it for tbh

overall I really like the Mesa Boogie and Tim Henson ones

I use Parallax for bass stuff

There's a 14 day free trial on all of the plug-ins, test them all out and find out which ones you like

[wind mauve]

yeah i’ve been using the free trials it’s just that I like so many of them but can only afford one atm

i’m leaning mostly towards the Abasi suite, it’s got the clean and two distortion amps and all of them are really good

[modest ravine]

Yeah I like that one

Tim Henson is pretty good for anything too

[wind mauve]

the Tim Henson one has better cleans and the NTS suite has better chugs but Abasi does it all

[modest ravine]

Plini is good for both too

[wind mauve]

nah Henson’s isn’t great for like the really heavy chugging stuff

[mellow geyser]

nolly is also super versatile

[wind mauve]

basically i need something that can do what both NTS and Henson does

so Abasi is my pick atm unless y’all can recommend something better

[modest ravine]

Gojira is good for distortion but the cleans are meh

lemme go open Abasi rq

[mellow geyser]

i’d try nolly, i think it’s my fav archetype plugin.. it has rlly nice cleans, bt can also do rlly heavy stuff..

[modest ravine]

i really wanna try out Petrucci

i got the trial a while ago

and never used it

Abasi is the only one i got a good 9 string tone without it sounding all muddy

[mellow geyser]

tim henson’s has the nicest ui i’ve seen w/ the archetype plugins tho i will say

[modest ravine]

yeh

the multivoicer is also pretty fun

[wind mauve]

i do really love thé UI for Henson

[wind mauve]

oh right, i’m on a seven string so that’s also factoring into my decision

need it to not sound like actual sludge when i play a note

[modest ravine]

yeah Abasi works the best for lower tuned stuff imo

[wind mauve]

[modest ravine]

Gojira is good too for that

i made this in the kiesel guitar builder before and its so beautiful

[wind mauve]

oh?

that does look cool

[modest ravine]

maybe one day ill spoil myself

[wind mauve]

one day

[granite fern]

Beautiful guitar

[wind mauve]

oh hey that was my first one, sort of

i rented that and a spider amp and that's how i started

[granite fern]

That's awesome

[fossil sedge]

@wind mauve IMO if you could only buy one, Gojira and Rabea are the best "do it all" plugins.

[nimble jungle]

Heheh

[nimble jungle]

Looks awesome!!

I have an Epiphone les Paul

[wind mauve]

i'll check them out

once the abasi trial ends imma pick up the nolly suite cause it does look super neat now that i've been introduced to it

and then i'll try rabea

[granite fern]

Nice! And thank you for the compliment

[nimble jungle]

np

[toxic wharf]

you seen any of my things yet?

@nimble jungle take a look if you don’t mind

[nimble jungle]

No

What’s illegal abt it?

[toxic wharf]

it was made in japan

And it was appearently illegally shipped over here

like its not at all supossed to be here

[nimble jungle]

Lol

I have a signature Dean V pre Gibson lawsuit

[toxic wharf]

oooh intersting

i have a telecaster

[acoustic cobalt]

https://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/mudvayne-yeet-tab-s464052

i just need to make everyone aware of this tab

[wind mauve]

lemme see this

that bpm is oddly high

i despise this

?????????????

WHAT THE FUCK IS A NEGATIVE NOTE

oh yeah one second fellas lemme get my pet daddy long legs on the fuckin fretboard????

[modest sequoia]

Ahh yes the 26th fret

[wind mauve]

maybe it's a tab for one of those funky lookin harp guitar

alternatively you fret 24 and 2 to get a combined 26

and for 29 you fret 24 and 5

the negative notes still concern me

do i play 3 in reverse to get -3 or do i need the non-Euclidean strings everyone is raving about in order to reach through the temporal void and get the the negative side of the universe, thus allowing me to fret -3

also this

[mortal torrent]

That's not a song fwiw

That's some guy being a doofus

[granite fern]

Djent is more rhythmic

[quiet lotus]

You watch too much Bernth

[acoustic cobalt]

I know I just find it funny lol

[shrewd peak]

that was my first guitar, i remember jamming bmth and trivium on it back in the day

[granite fern]

And it was surprisingly cheap

[shrewd peak]

yep

its so cheap for such a decent instrument

[granite fern]

For real

[wary oyster]

My Bare Knuckle comes today

Gunna throw it in this

An epi LP i traded that schecter for, plus $200. So basically a net cost of.... free guitar 😁

Also ordered a matching knob and replacement pick guard.

[loud wyvern]

do you guys suggest getting guitar pro?

musescore is super buggy for me, and i dont like tuxguitar's ui

[granite fern]

Like Ultimate Guitar Tabs?

[loud wyvern]

Nah, the application

[gritty garden]

If you're gonna use it I don't see why not. I think you might be able to get a trial for it. If not I don't think it's that expensive anyway

[modest ravine]

the things i would do for this guitar but with a 27 inch scale rather than 25.5 is insane

[wary oyster]

Me with most guitars tbh^

Slowly returning the free Less Paul to form

New strat, cause LP ergo. Bare knuckle in the bridge now, and a pick guard that is white, not ivory like the store said, and didn't include the bracket. Coming along though 😅

New knob and pickguard (with bracket lol) should be here tomorrow. Then just need the pro bucket for the neck and ill see what I can get for it

[wind mauve]

the one guitar i desperately want is either the custom one i made on the kiesel builder or something very very similar

alternatively a Kaizen but that's even more out of my budget somehow

somehow cheaper than a Kaizen, six or seven string

but obviously i want the seven

[modest ravine]

yeah same I made this

[wind mauve]

[modest ravine]

i've

definitely showed you this

like 2 days ago

lmao

[wind mauve]

yes

that was what inspired me to check it out

i do really want a headless guitar and i love the Osiris body

[modest ravine]

i used to have like

a headless explorer 7 string in white

in teh builder

it was nice but i accidentally deleted it at some point

[wind mauve]

my guitar teacher's guitar, he built it himself, and it has the tuning pegs at the bottom for a whammy/headless

but it's not actually headless

and he can pull out the bottom tuners to instantly drop tune the string

so honestly? i think i may just have to forge my own guitar with the blood of my enemies

[modest ravine]

i was gonna say i have

enough guitars for now

but i can never have enough

[wind mauve]

i actually only have two

my Les Paul i started with and my Ibanez Gio 7

debating whether I get a new amp or if i just stick to ASIOs and VSTs

cause like i can practice headphones on any sound i need and record it easy as hell but my actual amp is a spider v30 and it’s… not great

[wary oyster]

Oo. Yea. Id try to scoop up a used katana or something.

I started with a spyder too and the katana was a gamechanger

[balmy vortex]

[shrewd peak]

Any recommendations for a first 8-string guitar?

[devout bobcat]

Hey guys, just joined the patreon, got the Starseeker GP files, anyone had issues with that one? Noticing that after measure 63 the solo is right but the rhythm is just either missing or wrong.

Also family photo for tax

[hexed igloo]

sexy

i want a 7 bad

[hexed igloo]

oh shit can i ask

how are mayones'?

i've played one aquila and loved it but im looking at saving up for a regius or duvell 7 second hand

[devout bobcat]

Plays like a dream! I switched to them from Kiesel after having like maybe 6 or 7. Had Jeff screw up a build and did the bare minimum to correct after wasting a ton of time. Sold all my Kiesel's and started playing Mayones. The red one I had specced a couple years ago and it's hands down the best 6 string I've ever played and the 7 I just got is also the best 7 i've played. Highly recommend the Regius.

[hexed igloo]

oh shit nice!

[devout bobcat]

I wish I had known you were looking, I just sold a 2019 NAMM build that had a mastergrade maple burl top and was supernova green

[hexed igloo]

ive seen kiesel but i really dislike jeff as a person, he seems like a stuckup asshole

[devout bobcat]

think it went for 4500

[hexed igloo]

ah yeah thats def above my budget haha, im more looking in the high 1k low 2k range

there's a few on reverb rn but saving up to get it for around my birthday

[devout bobcat]

Jeff is def obnoxious and runs a lot of business off due to his attitude.

And his fans just eat it up and crap on anyone who's remotely critical of his talent.

[mortal torrent]

He doesn't run business off per se, like business to business he's very generous. He does hefty endorsements etc

But yes, massive dick when it comes to customer service

And his guitars aren't worth the money

They have this cheapness to the vibe and feel

[devout bobcat]

umm he does though

I'm proof of that.

And on top of that, there's entire subreddit threads dedicated to people saying they won't work with him due to his attitude.

[mortal torrent]

I meant business to business wise

Not business to customer wise

[devout bobcat]

??

Customers are business

[mortal torrent]

Theres two different things right. So a business relationship which was what I thought you meant at first, is something like an endorsed artist, or a company that he buys components from

Especially with endorsed artists he treats them really well

That's why everyone and their mum has a kiesel endorsement

Customer service wise, different thing when it comes to a business, and with that he's awful

[devout bobcat]

Just a weird thing to comment on because we know how he works with endorsements but his interactions is pretty much the same as other companies. Mark Holcomb worked with PRS and got the same level of attention Kiesel gives to their artists. That wouldn't mean generous it would mean standard. And no one really knows of the companies he buys components from but that would be the same standard reaction other companies have, so not generous, just, neutral.

[mortal torrent]

I mean, first, I misread what you first put, but second mark is also in a big band. Kiesel give that treatment to artists that wouldn't even be looked at by other brands

And gives free guitars, which in 2023 is not as common as it used to be, most of the time it's just artist rates rather than freebies

[devout bobcat]

That's relative to company. You're also kinda moving the goalposts in framing endorsements now to "endorsements to people other companies wouldn't consider" which is impossible to determine. Veil of Maya for instance is a pretty substantial band and right now roughly the same monthly listeners Periphery has, it isn't that Jeff is just "nice", Jeff knows he can get his money's worth with his artists otherwise he wouldn't endorse them, it's not "nice" it's "profitable".

Mark got his prototypes for free from PRS, I'm fairly certain Browne got all his Mayones for free from them, it's a lot more standard than you think. The ones that might not are maybe Gibson and Fender but even then I'm sure Slash didn't pay for his custom shop pieces, etc.

Anyways, that's still not Jeff is great to businesses or endorsements, Jeff is just the same as most other guitar companies and is in no way above and beyond. Which we've kinda circled around wasn't my issue, it was how he treats customers which runs off CUSTOMER business regularly, and people devote entire threads to discussing why they'd never work with him. Which, even with the QC is as spotty as it is, is just not a good look.

[hexed igloo]

also yeah thats generally the vibe i got from him, he blocked me on instagram cause i made a joke in the kiesel comments section LMAO

but yeah i've heard mostly good about mayones

one of my friends calls them overpriced which i can kinda see why cause of how much they run for new, and ive seen a single video on a duvell complaining about the tuning stability

but besides that i've heard nothing but good

this is the one that caught my eye mainly, but since I won't be able to afford the guitar until december it'll probably be gone by then

so starting then im gonna keep more of an eye out on reverb on what mayo 7's are out there

[wary oyster]

Probably used Ibanez RG8 to see if you like it? Good solid guitar you can get without too much investmentm

[hexed igloo]

i was also thinking about 8s but decided that a 7 is enough for me

if i really need to play an 8 string song ill just pitch shift

since the only bands i listen to who use all 8 strings are periphery and polyphia

with stuff like prompts and meshuggah it's just the bottom string lmao

[wary oyster]

Schecter omen 8 maybe as well

Yea i was in the same boat most of the 7 and 8 string songs i like i can just play on my baritone Jazzy. 30 in length so down to Drop E+ is no prob

[devout bobcat]

they're def high priced, can't hide that, my red one was like 5400, the Camphor burl 7 string was like 4250 but I bought used, and the Purple Supernova I got coming in soon will be 7400-ish

[hexed igloo]

daaaaang

yeah thats why im holding out for a second hand one, idm if its not as pretty

this is the guitar i skip ibanez though, 100%

the ibanez 7 strings ive seen just do nothing for me

[devout bobcat]

The only one I ever liked was the JEM 7 string, they made a white one that I loved

[wind mauve]

any recommendations to get used stuff in canada

[wary oyster]

Reverb, Facebook marketplace, and I think there's a website that's called kijiji that's like Craigslist for Canada

[wind mauve]

yeah ik about kijiji

probably don't want facebook marketplace if i can avoid it

and i'll check out reverb

[wooden flax]

Do you guys like LEDs, epoxy resin and fiber optics? 🥰 it was a big challenge getting everything into this build while still meeting all the functional requirements but it turned out great! 😇

Carries a negative stigma but I've sold everything on there and its all been fine. Up to you though. May not hurt to look

[hexed igloo]

i really like a few of them but they're all pretty hard to find

just the specs on them turn me off too

like i love the look of j.customs but i dont want a floating 7 yet

[balmy vortex]

Just no

[weak vortex]

Got hurt early in the year and it halted my playing. Any advice? Back then i didnt have to think about picking up my bass or guitar but now i have no want to do it. But i also love playing so any advice?

[gritty garden]

Just make a conscious effort to pick it up even if for only 5 minutes. Run through stuff you know and enjoy, and hopefully it rekindles that spark

[atomic vigil]

does someone know which tuning "Anhedonia" by silent planet has ? (pls ping me XD)

[modest ravine]

Drop G

well this cover on YT says drop G

[atomic vigil]

yea just saw it and it sounds pretty accurate but thanks

[wooden flax]

I always check songsterr for that stuff

Songsterr or ultimate guitar

[atomic vigil]

yea but ahnhedonia is not there also songsterrr is sometimes preeetty inacurate

[wooden flax]

Oooh I see, sorry then

[atomic vigil]

and on ultimate guitar you have to pay for it i guess

[atomic vigil]

nah nah no problem at all :)

[wooden flax]

AFAIK you can see the tabs for free, but maybe you're right

Dunno if chordify gives you the tuning either

[atomic vigil]

yea but not all the tabs u know ? most of the tabs u have to get the pro edition or somthin idk XD

[wooden flax]

Oh fuck haha

[atomic vigil]

but still thanks :)

[wooden flax]

Np dude, hope you find what you're looking for

[toxic wharf]

Pedal-philes, anyone reckognize that pedal at the very top?

not the one on top of the SLO

guitar (dead :() is crazy

[torn void]

hello guys, what should I do to improve sweep picking?

I practice it for about 3 days and I can't play faster that 80 bpm

maybe I need some exercise for my fingers?

[thick delta]

oh my god mayonnaise is an instrument

[toxic wharf]

Anyone here own a 100w EVH 5150 III?

[gritty garden]

Not that I know of

Most in here are rocking digital or Katana's/Fender Mustangs

[hardy sorrel]

I wrote a riff and I need some ideas for a chorus and a bridge

Can I send it to someone?

Just hMu if it’s cool

[graceful socket]

if you ask me, just post it here. That´s kind of what this channel is for too

[hardy sorrel]

okau

This is the riff I wrote. Just need ideas for a chorus and a bridge. It's sorta kinda slipknoty so thats what I'm goin for

[mellow geyser]

what made pinch harmonics click for you guys?

[toxic wharf]

well, you see, you need to use proper technique to beat them out of your guitar.

[verbal fossil]

well for me it was a video explaining how to do many type of harmonics on the guitar (natural/artificial/pinched etc...) and practiced on time of dying by three days grace (there is only 1 pinch in it but whatever needed to know how to do it even if it's only 1 note) and kept practicing my right hand to hit the string with my thumb just after picking and got a consistent result in about 3 or 5 days or at most a week i think

[hardy sorrel]

I didn’t get em till earlier this week lol. But it’s essentially hitting the string a bit harder with both the pick and your thumb/index finger. You have to experiment with different striking angles tho

I used Duality to practice it

[hardy sorrel]

Sad no one responded tho😵‍💫

[graceful socket]

I'm not too surprised tbh.

I'd pitch in but I a) cant make it out well enough, dont know the tuning and what not to help and b) have a severe lack of confidence in my playing and especially writing

[wooden flax]

Playing the main riff of Pantera - Cemetery gates until my fingers bleed lol

[wind mauve]

i don't know what punch harmonics are

[wooden flax]

You have to punch the strings

[digital mesa]

oooh, that explains why I could barely hear the harmonics when I punch the body

[wind mauve]

🎸

[hardy sorrel]

Fair enough lol

[hardy sorrel]

But it was in drop B

[hardy sorrel]

Can I play it live for one of y’all

Maybe that would help

[torn void]

I've been practicing sweep picking for a week. What can you say about it?

[wind mauve]

keep it up!

[torn void]

thanks

[graceful socket]

Anyone got experience with playing 7 string stuff on an 8? I´ve wanted to get a second 7 for a while now but because it´s still pretty hard to find decent lefty 7s I cant really find anything other than the one I already own and before I get doubles I thought about instead getting an 8. Got one that would suffice for my standards, I actually quite like the idea of getting an 8, but I just dont really need it that much compared to another 7.

Now the idea is to just get the 8 and play the 7 string stuff on it like usual, just playing everything a string down basically (or differently, depends on the song and tuning). Anyone got experiences to share regarding this?

[loud wyvern]

I’ve tried stuff like it but 6 string stuff on a 7. It works fine for standard tunings but not for drop tunings because of the g string being a different interval

[unique warren]

Hi! Can I ask guitar for recommendations here?

[toxic wharf]

thats hysterical

[toxic wharf]

returning? I have three LPS one of then is 20k and in a storage unit cause i’m afraid i might break it lol

[toxic wharf]

ibanez, Les Pauls, i have a tele i play on and a $1,600 fender jag i play, but i would suggest ibanez mostly

[gritty garden]

For what level? Entry, Intermediate??

[gritty garden]

The general age of this Discord is quite low so recommending $1600 guitars is probably off limits to most

[toxic wharf]

yeah you right i don’t really mean reccomending that guitar for stuff anyways

it really just depends on what i’m playing

[unique warren]

I meant if here is the appropriate place for that 😅

I have a mexican SSS strat, it feels really great, but I want a separate guitar for heavier music. I wanted to try some BFMV, Killswitch Engage and A7F covers and it seems humbuckers and not tuning my guitar every yime would be cool.
I really dig a form and a color of Nick’s JP6, but not the price 🥲 And I kinda don’t like glossy leopard-like designs.
I also like rhe form of Tim Hanson’s white Ibanez, but not sure if this form is comfortable.
About active/passive and neck shape. I’m not sure. I think I will try everything you will recommend when I get to a store, but for now it’s not an option for me.

[toxic wharf]

i got a cigar box from my uncle(im under 18 so i cant buy them) to make a new cigar box guitar

are there any cbg fans that know if 152mm is long enough for the body

?

(6 inches long)

or do i need a longer cigar box

[loud wyvern]

Does anyone here have the JR cutlass?

[toxic wharf]

the 3,800 dollar guitar?

[loud wyvern]

The 930 dollar guitar

[toxic wharf]

no, i have a fender jag thats 1,600$

[loud wyvern]

So i take it that’s likely a no

[wind mauve]

probably

[inner mauve]

ight

who has sold and shipped a guitar?

cuz i wanna know how much it is to ship

aint no way Florida to Texas is gonna cost $100

the fuck is it $100 for? are they fighting off the Florida Men to make it here?

[acoustic cobalt]

mb

it's all my fault

[sour zealot]

Could drive a guitar that far for less, what the hell

[inner mauve]

ikr and its a nice guitar

[sour zealot]

I mean if it's a decent guitar, if I had no responsibilities for a couple days, I would actually do that, drive it there instead... would make sure any company wouldn't decide to use the box as a target for kicking or something

[loud wyvern]

Typically it’s also for insurance

Id assume

id never ship a guitar (over like $500) without insurance.

[inner mauve]

well its priced at 725

so it makes sense

but like

bro

a guy is shipping an 8 string headless legator for 50, and its 1000

shipped from Wyoming

[wind mauve]

hmmm

i do kind of want a headless guitar myself

7 or 8 string preferable

[timid flicker]

is orange crush mini good as a practice amp?

or is there a better alternative

[gritty garden]

Doubt it. If you're bothered by sound quality etc it'll sound small and boxy and miss out of detail

[timid flicker]

any other recommendation

[wind mauve]

if you want a mini amp those uhhh

[gritty garden]

What's your budget?

[wind mauve]

i wanna say spark minis?

the ones that sponsor andrew baena

[timid flicker]

not available in india

[wind mauve]

ah

[timid flicker]

5-6k rupees

which is uh

72 dolars

[gritty garden]

Your best bang for buck if you have a PC already is going to be an amp sim like a Neural DSP one or something.

[timid flicker]

how will i plug it in

dont have an audio interface

[wind mauve]

audio interfaces are fairly cheap nowadays

a refurbished focusrite is probably well within that budget

[gritty garden]

Fair enough I'm just saying for the tone quality you can get an interface and amp sim for less than a decent practice amp.

[timid flicker]

lemme check for one

[gritty garden]

If you're not bothered by the audio too much and just want something for your electric guitar then try a Orange Mini out or something and see if you like the sound.

[timid flicker]

why does this country have so much tax

[gritty garden]

Yeah that's the downside to India and being a musician

I remember someone looking up a digitech WHAMMY DT and it was like almost $1000

[timid flicker]

yes

wait

[gritty garden]

Yeah, it's $320/£255 ish

Yeah so direct pricing should be 26,198 Rupee ish.

[timid flicker]

ye

[gritty garden]

But yeah, the import tax they're passing on to customers is insane

[timid flicker]

and the cheap ones have bloatware

[gritty garden]

With those prices etc you'll just have to decide what's best. If all you can get is the Orange Crush Mini then fair enough. I suppose it's better than nothing.

It won't be perfect

[timid flicker]

true

back to the music store 👍

(cries inside)

[gritty garden]

I dread to think how much my collection of shit would cost in India.

[timid flicker]

you would be filthy rich

i mean half of the products arent even available here

orange crush mini has an option for external cab

i guess thats cool

[flat dew]

Hey, I just got a new effects box, and I'm trying to get good tones and rig setups, but it's not going well... could somebody possibly help me out here?

[thick delta]

is chelsea smile supposed to be hard or do i just suck

[wispy flint]

just go slow

[thick delta]

it feels weird to play it slower ive already started learning it at full speed

will playing it fast make me better

[toxic wharf]

https://open.spotify.com/track/5mWNiGLS2S3rYqETHT9Pb1?si=Jlt1yS9yRweKUfgszkOYkA anyone got an idea of what tuning this is in.

[dawn sparrow]

I got you bb

genuinely tho, going slowly is your best bet. it was tough for me too, but lookup tabs. A lot of the majority is just played on the low E string

[thick delta]

i know ive been looking at tab and playing to a 100 bpm metronome this whole time

[dawn sparrow]

What part of the song are you trying to get through right now?

[thick delta]

the 0s part

i think im close to getting it but its hard to think that fast

[dawn sparrow]

A great way to learn that part would be just practicing gallop picking. Ola Englund has a great vid about it

[thick delta]

the 000 isnt that hard on its own its just tying it all together

i can play any one bar from that part no problem

[dawn sparrow]

mmmm I see. keep practicing bro you’ll get it down in no time

[thick delta]

ive technically been working on this for over a month but i havent been practicing nearly enough cuz i got a job and im trying to finish up school

im back on it now tho

“this” being the 0s

just the 0s

i tend to do things that are too hard

after this im planning to buy a pitch shifter and learn talking heads

[dawn sparrow]

Such a good song

[thick delta]

i started with linkin park and i wanna do djent so that one made sense as “linkin park but with more djent”

[timid flicker]

https://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/meshuggah-yeet-tab-s463521 👍

if you search yeet

you get all kinds of cursed tabs

[wind mauve]

NOT ANOTHER ONE

THE MUDVAYNE ONE ALREADY WAS BAD ENOUGH

it looks like random time signature changes but it's actually the guitarist not having a metronome

NO NO NO NO NO WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT

[severe bluff]

bruh

my strings so old they're literally creaking when i unwind it

[thick delta]

sounds trve kvlt to me

[acoustic cobalt]

ANOTHER

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[graceful socket]

I just got myself a Whammy DT and holy shit, this thing is insane. One issue tho: I need stuff to practice timing and what not with it because as of now my brain just goes into ooga booga mode whenever I want to use it on specific notes.

Anyone got good practice routines or songs that make you get used to it?

[mellow geyser]

would i b able to install active emg pickups in my guitar tht came stock w/ passive pickups? i’m not sure if the electronics would b compatible or if any of the knobs would lose their functionality..

[mellow geyser]

i don’t rlly know of too many songs tht use whammy pedals, bt ik lots of ptv songs have sections w/ whammy pedal dive bombs + squeals..

[gritty garden]

Not without modifying your guitars body no. You'd need to route somewhere for the 9v battery to go as well as redo the pickup wiring

[timid flicker]

https://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/periphery-yeet-tab-s463660

[wind mauve]

like with the last one, i will look at this tab till i see something cursed

ok that's kinda fucked up already but i'll keep going

yeah im done

[atomic vigil]

anyone knows the tuning of Glass Hands by Crooked Royals ? (pls ping me)

[loud wyvern]

Does anyone know where to put the trem block on a sterling modern tremolo bridge?

[acoustic cobalt]

what the actual fuck

icarus lives --> icarus dies

[wind mauve]

[timid flicker]

i got amp

[wind mauve]

which

[timid flicker]

orang

crush mini

it sound good

[wind mauve]

[timid flicker]

i really want a seven string

[wind mauve]

my ibanez gio was about $600 iirc

idk if there's gonna be cheaper than that, and if there is idk what the quality might be

[timid flicker]

grg7221?

[wind mauve]

not sure what that is

[balmy vortex]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1029539768985452646.gif?size=96&quality=lossless

[balmy vortex]

thats an ibanez model name

[wind mauve]

ah just googled that

and its the one i have

i may be stupid

[timid flicker]

bruhhhh

nice one 👍

[wind mauve]

i just knew it was a seven string ibanez from the gio line

i didn't know the got dang number

[loud wyvern]

The schecter C-7 deluxe is like 399 iirc. Pretty decent quality i enjoy mine. 26.5 inch too

[ocean arch]

i have a guitar with some scratches in the finish like this, anyone know how best to deal with them?

[thick delta]

duct tape

[hexed igloo]

how do people go about learning by ear when you literally cannot hear the guitar

[loud wyvern]

depends what’s overpowering it in the mix

If it’s vocals I’ll often use a vocal removed

Otherwise i just try really hard

[serene vortex]

First 8 String

[wind mauve]

[modest ravine]

??

are those notes just an octave lower?

[timid flicker]

i think thats for an 8 string since the thing only supports upto 7

can you send the link here

[brisk hornet]

So like dumb question but is there a pedal which increases the pitch of the guitar?

[timid flicker]

whammy dt

[brisk hornet]

Is that like a full octave?

Was hoping there would be some magical device which is just the opposite of the digitech drop

[timid flicker]

i think you can

[brisk hornet]

Been playing on 0.12 strings for so long that I can't get used to the thinner ones

[timid flicker]

800 usd

[timid flicker]

ok you can

digitech website

[wind mauve]

pitch shifter

wait

[wind mauve]

pitch shifter

[hexed igloo]

its less overpowering its just very quiet lmao

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRHDX2NzUCM

its mainly the chords in the left ear in the intro i cant get

[modest ravine]

i don't know about that

there's songs like

Neo Seoul

that have 9 string tunings

[timid flicker]

i dont know then

sory

[brisk hornet]

I may consider this then (:

[modest ravine]

there's a version that's just the pitch shifter up

without the drop

its cheaper

if you just want one

at least I think there is

yeah there is

https://digitech.com/dp/whammy/

its like $100 cheaper

forget

everything I just said

that's just whammy not pitch shift 👍

[timid flicker]

bruhhh

[modest ravine]

im just an idiot

theres this too but its different

[wind mauve]

archetype tom morello has a pitch shifty thingy

i wonder how he'd feel to learn i used his neuraldsp to try and make a brand of sacrifice song

[mellow geyser]

how do u keep your pick from sliding or moving when doing upstrokes?

[wind mauve]

?

wdym

[wispy flint]

how are you holding it

[mellow geyser]

like, when i strum stuff my pick will tend to slip from my fingers; or slide almost sideways..

hard to explain

[wind mauve]

your grip looks fine

you might just like not be holding it tight enough?

i've never had this issue

[severe bluff]

6 or 7

[wind mauve]

8

oh strings? im on a 7

[severe bluff]

9

im thinking of getting a new geetar sometime soon and im torn between 6 and 7 string (no floating bridge this time they make me cry)

[wind mauve]

7

always 7

why even get a 6

[severe bluff]

cus it makes tuning to drop c/c# and D standard a little easier

7 makes things go chuchuchu much easier tho

the band im in don't do a lot of chugs tho cus 1. i don't have access to chugs 2. i am the only guitarist for now 3. we don't have a specific genre

it's more just a group of friends making sounds but we call it a band

i like the sound of 7s but 6s feel more familiar and for my level of guitar it feels like it would be better for progression maybe

but the chugs and djents can only truly be obtained from 7+ strings

[wispy flint]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgGotQHmz7A&ab_channel=BERNTH

is that so

[severe bluff]

it's bernth it doesn't count

[wispy flint]

smh

[severe bluff]

shm

[hexed igloo]

nah

the heaviest bands are all 6 strings no exceptions

pupil slicer, emperor, vektor, the ocean, phinehas, norma jean, imperial circus dead decadence, a ghost of flare

vektor singlehandedly obliterate the notion of "downtuning = heavy"

because not only do they play in a 6 string tuning that's been around for decades, they play in F Standard

they literally tune UP

[modest sequoia]

I mean hlb is technically played on a 6

[wispy flint]

im sure there are bands that are considered the heaviest that use 7 strings

[modest ravine]

pantera plays in roughly D Standard and sound heavier than bands in like

Drop G

[wind mauve]

carcosa

look i like my japanese metal too but c'mon

[hexed igloo]

175hz the band

unbelievable amounts of mud on every carcosa song I've ever heard lmao

[wind mauve]

turn your ears on i guess

[hexed igloo]

and yeah there's def heavy 7 string bands but it's not necessary

let's be real, most 7 string bands are not frontierer or car bomb

[hexed igloo]

not even that

I believe their late stuff is c# but cowboys? all e standard

[wind mauve]

i would go as far as to say that there is only one frontierer or car bomb

[hexed igloo]

domination is still like maybe the filthiest breakdown ever

[modest ravine]

they tuned like between C# and D standard

[wind mauve]

yeah no cowboys was definitely not E

[hexed igloo]

it literally is tho

they tuned like 30-40 cents down but that really doesn't make a huge difference

I don't even think they did that on domination or cfh tho

I know they did on cemetery gates but I'm pretty sure it might just be that and maybe another track or two

[modest ravine]

cowboys in hell is 1/4 step down

[hexed igloo]

yeah makes sense tbf

but even then that's like barely tuning down which is crazy

oh, anaal nathrakh too

they're like the epitome of heavy

[wind mauve]

they got some bangers

forward and of fire & fucking pigs

[hexed igloo]

anaal def use 7 strings but they've got some 6 strings too

endarkenment is drop c

[toxic wharf]

Honestly E or Eb standard is where it's at.

(or their respective drop tunings)

I have wanted a 7-string for a while just to fuck around with it, but it's never been a must-have.

[wind mauve]

after getting i seven string i haven't touched my six string in a year

[brazen echo]

noob question,

wat does the parenthesis mean in the tabs? plus he's not fretting it in the 5th fret

[wind mauve]

parenthesis on notes is a harmonic

[brazen echo]

idk how it works, so the harmonics in the tabs is kinda useless?

i also saw some tabs with harmonics with the fret going to 18/19

[wind mauve]

one sec

open - 3 - (3)

and yes that was the only angle i could record at

i apologize

[loud saffron]

hello there

[wind mauve]

[loud saffron]

what are you guys doing

[hexed igloo]

agreed

im big on the whole post hardcore thing that happened in the 2000s and holy fuck

so many good E/Drop D/Eb/Drop C# bands

ling tosite sigure, 9mm parabellum bullet, the fall of troy, hail the sun, dance gavin dance, eidola, tricot, la dispute, envy

sokoninaru too

[toxic wharf]

Opeth and Cattle Decapitation are two of my favorite bands, and they use E and Eb standard, respectively.

[loud saffron]

E standard is very cool

why tune down to ridiculous tunings

megadeth has E standard aswell

[loud saffron]

I mean, it sounds good tho

[wind mauve]

was practicing a bit in the studio while my guitar teacher was taking a bio break between lessons, when he came back he told me "i was wondering who was teaching bass today but then i remembered it was just your seven string"

[rocky cloak]

I have a custom E-II esp al in Drop C cause as the great one would say "DROP C FOR LIFE" which i run through a mesa boogie dual rectifier and for a speaker cab i use a Kustom KG412 120 W 4X12 speaker cab

[loud wyvern]

https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxt-VXysAm0vfziWYgQRlTeLDrisKjzJjs is this true?

[acoustic cobalt]

ok real talk why does an actual tab have a negative number

wtf

tab makers are on some weird stuff rn

[wind mauve]

i mentioned the meme tabs to my guitar teacher

and even he looked shocked to hear the negative number thing

and bro is like a demigod of music specifically 80's shredding so like if he don't know then it ain't a thing

[wind mauve]

playing ST songs on a seven-string... hmmmm

[wind mauve]

ok granite is literally entirely on the 7th string so that's doable

[thick delta]

i thought this song was easy the fuck is this

i dont have enough fingers

[loud saffron]

thats 2, maybe 3 fingers you need

[loud saffron]

its not even that hard

[thick delta]

listen putting my finger across the bottom 3 makes it touch the top one

[loud saffron]

dont touch the top one then

its not that hard

[thick delta]

it is if u suck lol

[loud saffron]

practice more then

[thick delta]

no shit

i thought maybe there was a trick besides "just dont touch it" thanks genius

[loud saffron]

what song is that anyways

[thick delta]

chelsea smile

someone told me it was singular string shit so i started it so i could learn how to go fast

[gritty garden]

Just ignore the 0's, I'm questioning that tab anyway because the B string should be muted if you're playing the high e string 0s

Also I don't know what tab you're using but all the other tabs I'm seeing are 0's for bar 18 and an entirely different rhythm

[wind mauve]

gonna keep practicing this of course, and i'm in a slightly different tuning, but i'm pretty happy so far

[loud saffron]

what song is that again

[wind mauve]

it's in the file name

anyways i got to play the 7 string epiphone matt heafy guitar at a music shop for a bit

and it is the sexiest tone i've ever heard on a guitar

buying that as soon as i can

[true glen]

Uh so I bought my first electric guitar and it's a 7 string

[wind mauve]

based

[true glen]

Feels so weird after 6 string acoustic

[wind mauve]

yeah it probably would

i have pretty much the same model just in a different colour, so my advice is to have the volume and tone knobs all the way on and the pickup switch set to all the way down (away from the neck)

[thick delta]

songsterr

[wind mauve]

use your amp to set volume and adjust the tone as necessary

[gritty garden]

Really, you must be using a different tab then

[true glen]

Is what I figured too, been doing that

[wind mauve]

[true glen]

I use volume nob to just flip "on and off" the guitar

[wind mauve]

yeah basically

also some lower-end amps will muddy the fuck outta your seventh string especially at lower tunings just fyi

[true glen]

I thought about it so I got something that is probably a bit overkill for me

[wind mauve]

whatchu get

[true glen]

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 gen 3

[wind mauve]

oooooh

yeah i have a slightly less advanced model myself

i recommend reaper as it's free trial works like the winrar free trial, and neuraldsp offers two week trials on all their products

[true glen]

Thats where I am rn, trying to figure out what to use for practice/record etc

[wind mauve]

reaper

& neuraldsp

[true glen]

👍 Will give it a try

[true glen]

Yeah, I like it so far, gonna stick with the Reaper for now

[wind mauve]

[loud saffron]

lol that nodding fits perfectly with LosT by BMTH

[visual briar]

i use reaper and stl tones

grab your self some good irs and your set

and for interface i use a m-audio + since it was like 40$ at a pawn shop and works great

[wind mauve]

[full frost]

I got a beat up bc rich warlock for $100 that I’m gonna mod the crap out of any suggestions on what i should do

[wind mauve]

headless

wait how beat up

show the guitar

[severe bluff]

install a floyd rose floating bridge and regret it

[full frost]

Not too beat up bridge is fucked and paint chipped but somewhat fine other then that

[wind mauve]

can you send a pic at all

[full frost]

Yea not this second but I will

[wind mauve]

aight

[wind mauve]

aight that's respectable

thinking of getting new pickups/electronics?

[full frost]

Yea but im thinking of putting a new bridge in

And a locking nut

But im not sure what to do to it yet completely

[wind mauve]

best pickup i've ever used was the fishman heafy one

but they're fairly expensive

and i don't think you can buy em seperately

like you're gettin two pickups if you buy them

[full frost]

Yea i was looking at James Hetfield emgs

[wind mauve]

haven't heard those in action myself, but the name sounds alright

for strings i'll always recommend some ernie balls

i think im doing pretty good

[toxic wharf]

Drop G on a 25.5 scale guitar? Nah or not a big issue?

[balmy vortex]

wouldnt recommend it

[toxic wharf]

Yeah, I thought so. Too bad...was eyeballing the Ibanez QX527PB

[storm fjord]

cant learn how to do a pinch harmonic, any help?

[full frost]

Just found this acoustic got it for $60 needs work but it plays good

[toxic wharf]

Looks good too

Anyone here using Abasi Concepts guitars?

[real cloak]

No sry

[toxic wharf]

They all seem to be sold out

Wanted to check some pricing but dont know whats going on there

[real cloak]

So guys what do you think, is this guitar worth buying? It's a J & D 905 HSS, and it sells for $150

[toxic wharf]

Specs?

[real cloak]

Here

[toxic wharf]

Dont know man. Cheap trem systems will generally give you remorse to be honest

[real cloak]

The reviews are pretty good for it

[toxic wharf]

Even if you are starting out its generally better to spend a bit more and increase your joy

Im not reapky familiair with J and D so maybe my judgement is off

[digital mesa]

You basically need to pick the string and then lightly touch it (more of a tap) with your thumb in one motion. What has helped me learn it (still crap at it, tbh) is pick the string hard and position the thumb in a way that the string will hit it

It's a weird technique to do, learn and explain. But when you hit it, boy does it feel cool

[waxen wadi]

Anyone got tips for doing sweep picking for the first time? Noticing myself not being able to do it even at 60bpm or below, kinda feel like I’m in a rut and I wanna get this skill Dow packed but everytime I try I just feel like it ain’t gonna happen

[toxic wharf]

Up the bpm a tiny bit so its easier to roll the pick in a smooth motion across the strings. Start with less strings, take one shape/arpeggio and just commit to it until your right hand syncs up.

Theres no easy/quick route for these kind of things to be honest

[bronze orbit]

How is it

I wanna get that one if it’s good

[wind mauve]

think im gonna avoid getting an 8 string for a bit honestly

[gritty garden]

Unless you're competent with a 6/7 then there's no point attempting an 8

[wind mauve]

wanna focus on getting my techniques up

yeah

[hardy hatch]

Just got a Jackson JS11 for a slick deal

[bronze orbit]

Anyone know any good bass tones?

I got v man from Slipknot in archetype gojira but idk it’s not punchy enough for me

For hardcore

[violet nimbus]

can anyone help me which amp to buy?

[storm fjord]

Drop g or drop f which is better

[wispy flint]

no such thing as one tuning being better over another

it all depends on what you want

[wind mauve]

tune to one, play a rif, tune to another, play the same riff

the one that sounds better is the one you want

[thick delta]

the lower one lmao

[verbal fossil]

Id say drop F# cuz it between both

And my 7 strings is tuned to drop F# as well

[wet kestrel]

anyone knows how to learn enter sandman? i'm struggling

[wet kestrel]

whichever one you like

F is my threshold

i don't like writing modern metal in anything above it

and for "higher" tunings i just use E standard and drop A# (which is already quite low)

but i also don't really like writing modern metal

or just metal in general

G is goated for pisscore though

otherwise it doesn't matter what tuning you use, use whatever you like more

it only becomes principal when you work with vocalists id say, need to make sure that the key is in their range

[waxen ingot]

Seven strimg guitor

[wet kestrel]

hot

if your partner has these in their room - break up and get a restraining order

[acoustic cobalt]

i was actually looking at this model the other day 💀

[waxen ingot]

Ah nice yeah it was the first guitar i bought myself and i like it

[acoustic cobalt]

RGA body style>>>>>

[waxen ingot]

Ima get more guitars in the future these are my future choices

[acoustic cobalt]

nice

i want a prs in the future

the Mark Holcumb model is awesome

6 string version at least

7 string is a little too thick for me

[waxen ingot]

Ima get a kiesel custom guitar sometime like this

[acoustic cobalt]

ok that's sweet

that fade is just 😍

[waxen ingot]

Yeah i made it in their custom builder

But this is when i have lits of money lol

[storm fjord]

Theres a 10 string at my local guitar shop, should i cop

[waxen ingot]

Do it

Fucking do it

[storm fjord]

Its 5k but goddammit she beautiful

[modest ravine]

I have a 9 string that I thought would be cool, it's too much and there's not a ton to learn with it

Unless you're interested in making your own music

[gritty garden]

Fucking Gaffy 🤣

[storm fjord]

The thall in me wants to

[true glen]

[waxen ingot]

Do it for the thall

Its calling you

[storm fjord]

Is ur pfp a custom jay mask?

[waxen ingot]

Nope that is his new mask

[storm fjord]

YO WTF THATS TERRIFYING

[waxen ingot]

Ikr but its sick

Its the ext evolution of his mask and im loving it

[waxen ingot]

[blissful flume]

hey, I’m really new to guitar (only been playing 2-3 months) and I think it’s time to change my strings. I was wondering what type of strings I should use (ex. what factors should effect which ones i get?) like, I’m assuming someone who plays a lot of metal wouldn’t be using the same strings as someone who plays country. (also, i apologize if i sent this in the wrong channel, I didn’t know where else to put it lol)

[waxen ingot]

You sent it in the correct one just wanted to say that idk shit about strings lol

[blissful flume]

[brazen barn]

alright so, rookie mistake, but i dont have an audio interface.. yet
I directly connect my guitar to my computer with a small quater inch jack (female) to 3.5mm jack (male)
I'm saving up for an audio interface, probably the Audient iD4 MKII
question: should i expect a better tone? latency?

apologies if this isn't the right place to ask this

[gritty garden]

Unless you're planning on doing a whole new set up, find the string gauge it came with and replace it with the same. If you change the gauge of the string you'll put more tension on the neck and it will require adjustment to sit right.

The issue you have if you get thicker strings is the nut will probably need modifying to ensure the thicker strings sit in the slots correctly, and the truss rod for the neck will need to be adjusted to compensate for the new tension. Your saddles might need tweaking to as the notes might be sharp or flat at the 12 fret (intonation).

Basically if you're new to guitar and have no idea what all of the above means, just replace with the same strings that it shipped with.

[blissful flume]

thank you lol ive been hearing different things from everyone ive talked to but since i dont understand any of it im just gonna find the original gauges 💀

[wet kestrel]

as keyan houshmand said about squier owners: "you're either a beginner or completely insufferable and i hate you"

playing on strings is overrated

i only play with people's feelings

[waxen ingot]

Real

[tribal vigil]

Repainted my Ibanez GIO GRG7. The blue was chipping bad

[waxen ingot]

Ooooo

[tribal vigil]

It wasn’t without errors tho😂😅

[wind mauve]

ernie ball strings

that's your starting point, from there it's all gut & preference

[true glen]

Folks at the store where I bought my guitar less than a week ago were recommending these strings too, are they really that good?

[wind mauve]

yes, i've been using ernie ball since i got my first guitar

in fact that guitar still has ernie balls on it

once i replace the strings on my 7 im also going for ernie's balls

[true glen]

By recommending I meant I already got them and these are on my guitar lol

[wind mauve]

[true glen]

Got regular slinky 7 string pack

[wind mauve]

yeah

[true glen]

I keep misreading it as regular stinky

[wind mauve]

the slinkiness you want depends on whether you're more ernie or more ball

but after a while and some test runs you can usually tell what kinda slinky you need

[true glen]

These

[wind mauve]

yeah they're pretty solid

[true glen]

I wanna try to get power slinky 7 string later

[ocean arch]

or the super slinky for drop a/b standard

[wind mauve]

these are my six string ones

[ocean arch]

can also recommend the Horizon Devices 9s for drop G# to B standard

[wind mauve]

my 7 is in drop g rn

so that sounds like something i may want to go with

[ocean arch]

mines in drop a with very dead strings

[wind mauve]

i may or may not uhh

be very lazy

[ocean arch]

drop g might be better with 10s honestly

[wind mauve]

so my strings aren't in great condition either

my guitar centre offers a free full tune-up so long as i pay for strings/batteries etc

so i'm gonna go do that tomorrow

[ocean arch]

i have a juggernaut ht7 which sounds incredible in drop g# ans drop a so i tend to just keep it around there

[wind mauve]

shouldn't need batteries i don't think

ibanez gio 7 over here

[ocean arch]

fair, not too difficult to do by yourself though

[wind mauve]

ik

but they offer it

so why not eh

[ocean arch]

fair

[waxen ingot]

Yo bro i just got your tik tok about this on my for you

[tribal vigil]

Lmao it blew up out of nowhere

[waxen ingot]

Yeah i dropped you a follow tho

[tribal vigil]

Appreciate it🤝🏻

[wet kestrel]

they just do their work

cost alright, solid, last just as long as the strings should

ernie ball are mcdonald's but strings

[wet kestrel]

i for the same ones just the other day, but i've put them on my 6 string lmao

ditched the 10 and 46, added a low 74

[true glen]

T H I C C

[wind mauve]

you’ll never need another string

[nimble jungle]

Actually based?!

I love those strings fr

I have them on my Dean V for D standard to drop A#

Mainly for drop C tho

[wind mauve]

why are you putting question marks

i’m always based

this shouldn’t be a surprise

[nimble jungle]

I don’t know who u are tho TwT

[acoustic cobalt]

they put these bad boys on everything in GC! such a blast to play!

all you need to know is im always based

Guitar Center 💀

[wind mauve]

idk what that is we have like long & mcquade tho

[acoustic cobalt]

bru

ig just replace it with that then 💀

[wind mauve]

anyways the string talk convinced me to finally restring my 7

and my dumbass broke the highest string trying to tune it to e standard

which like i don't need it of course, only 0's, but i don't want to be some 6 stringed pleb

[nimble jungle]

I’ve lost count how many times I snapped my high e on my 7 lmfao

[wind mauve]

i'm just gonna leave it at D cause i tune to drop G anyways

why break another string when i don't tune that high

[bronze orbit]

Bass actually adds a lot to a song

Added bass to my song and without it the breakdown feels like a lil bitch

But when I added bass

[grand idol]

About to get new pickups

[true glen]

bassed

[wind mauve]

was thinking of new pickups

but in the wise words of my guitar teacher, "sure you could probably put new pickups in, but is it gonna cost more than your actual guitar"

[grand idol]

I’m getting new ones because they have a better sound and has a better dirty tone on them too

[wind mauve]

fair

[teal quartz]

do any of you guys know a good metal staarter guitar?

[digital mesa]

Besides that one, not exactly sure what you mean by metal guitar, but you might want to check out the pinned messages in #🎸-old-musician-talk , mainly: #🎸-old-musician-talk message

[teal quartz]

a guitar with at least one humbucker

with a nice raw tone

[wind mauve]

alright

that's a start

[waxen wadi]

thanks man! ill have to try it once i settle on a decent low tuning for the 8 string

[acoustic cobalt]

When you're double tracking pinch harmonics, how can you get them to line up near perfectly?

they're always just slightly off for me

[teal quartz]

something like an ibanez is pretty sweet i think

[wind mauve]

my ibanez gio 7 was about $300

it’s pretty sick i daresay but if you’re just starting out don’t get a 7

[raven nest]

Are the headless ones Strandberg? Also what model is that white Ibanez?

[waxen ingot]

Yes headless is strandbergs and the white is a RG8-WH

[raven nest]

Nicee

I just wanna be rich enough to afford a Strandberg/Kiesel/Aristedes one day

[toxic wharf]

For me its an Abasi Guitar

[waxen ingot]

Same with the strandergs and the kiesel

[toxic wharf]

Strandberg's go for 1600 Euro's

Not too bad imo.

[waxen ingot]

My fav stranberg us 4,5k

[raven nest]

Lol

[raven nest]

This is used right?

[toxic wharf]

Nah

[raven nest]

Ah damn I thought they’re in the 2.5k plus ballpark

[toxic wharf]

Yeah the range is between 1600-3000

But Boden Standards go from 1600

Little more, but in that range.

[raven nest]

Cool

[toxic wharf]

But if you wanna go for the Boden Prog range it already goes more towards your price.

[raven nest]

Lol why would I wanna pay more man I’m not rich

[toxic wharf]

🥲

Guitars are a worthwhile investment in the end I always feel.

[raven nest]

Actually trying to get a used PRS halcomb now

[toxic wharf]

Noice

[raven nest]

Strongly agree. I just hope I can land a higher paying job soon so I wouldn’t have to think of price so much lol

[toxic wharf]

Yeah understandeable man. But its already good that you have a specific range in mind so you are not gonna spend that money on gear you dont really need. It will save you money in the end.

Ive been on both ends. Buying a lot of cheaper crap I dont use and saving for a big buy. The latter I never regretted in my life.

[raven nest]

I get that. Investing in quality shit is always a good idea and it makes you wanna play more too!

Btw anyone here tried the tom morello neural dsp plugin?

[toxic wharf]

Not yet. Not sure I will. I dont need anything else after purchasing the Petrucci one lol

Its probably quite good nonetheless.

[raven nest]

I’ve just seen the Rabea video it sounds pretty sick. Gotta give the trial a spin

[raven nest]

I have the Gojira one. It’s crazy how good these guys can make these archetypes now

[toxic wharf]

Yeah the Gojira is my third favourite! First Archetype Petrucci, second Plini than Gojira.

But from the ones I tried most of them were quite good. Im just a Plini fanboy.

[raven nest]

Haha plini is awesome

[toxic wharf]

I for sure agree.

[raven nest]

Saw him live a few years ago. Very chill dude

[toxic wharf]

Yeah I saw him this year with Jakub Zytecki. Both great performances.

[modest ravine]

I love the abasi plug-in

I've gotten great tones for my 9 string with it

Most of the other plug-ins make it sound muddy

[toxic wharf]

I liked the cleans of the Archetype Abasi a lot, but wasnt too big on the dirty tones

[shut meadow]

The fortin nameless bangs

[lofty marten]

i don't know what other chat to put this in but I'm new to guitar and i don't know where to start could anyone tell me a good place to begin?

[acoustic cobalt]

I started learning guitar by focusing on learning scale shapes and chords, as well as the proper technique for how to hold the pick. I imagine it would be the same for quite a few people but that's just how i got started

https://youtu.be/ZWVBz-_WGI8

woooooooooooooo they finally unveiled it

bout time

[lofty marten]

Thank you

And like the profile picture

[acoustic cobalt]

i apreciate it lol

aoty for me

[lofty marten]

Could you answer a question about periphery it might be stupid?

[acoustic cobalt]

go ahead

[lofty marten]

Do they still have a bassist it looks like there are 3 guitars now?

[acoustic cobalt]

So they've always had three guitarists

but Nolly, the bassist left in uh

after 2016 i think

[lofty marten]

Oh so they had 3 guitars and and bass?

[acoustic cobalt]

and i don't think there is one touring with them

[acoustic cobalt]

yeah they did from P2, through Jugg, and i think for some of P3

he still helps the band though

he's like an unofficial member

he's the producer and whatnot

[lofty marten]

Thank you I was wondering what there members were

[acoustic cobalt]

yeah so now it's
Misha, Jake, and Mark: Guitar
Matt: Drums
Spencer: Vocals

and then Nolly helps record

[lofty marten]

I hope I get to see them live at some point

[acoustic cobalt]

i want to see them live so bad but ofc their only two shows planned rn are so far away from me

if they can play a headlining show like 2 hours away from me i hopefully could go

[lofty marten]

I think they had a show like a year ago so might be a minute

[toxic wharf]

This is good advice @lofty marten

[lofty marten]

I will start practice those

Could anyone tell me about the brand fernandes?

[toxic wharf]

Dont know much about them, except that its a Japanese brand.

[lofty marten]

Ok

Thank you

[toxic wharf]

Classy guitar for a classy musician

[acoustic cobalt]

i heard from some people a month or so ago that they were coming out with a tele model, so to see it finally revealed is pretty cool

[toxic wharf]

Yeah...I mean...the man has deserved a signature for a while now so its about time.

The restock pace - or better yet the lack thereof - of Abasi Concepts is giving me anxiety.

[sinful nacelle]

Guys I have a confession to make: I normally play guitar but I bought a bass yesterday and I like it
