>>121757754I just started too late. Every good player started learning at 16 or younger.
>>121757807Be the exception You can still have a good time with guitar if you start at 40.My aunt started with guitar at 40 and played at church and has picked up bass now too and having a great time with it. You can too. Be inspired by others but don't compare yourself too harshly to others.(I only started practicing at 30 tho)

>>121760905cool
>>121760930what's cool about it
>>121760987That NGD feeling.
I bought an American Pro II Strat earlier this year and while I loved it at first there are things I’m learning to really not like. I don’t like the fretboard radius, I find myself pushing both the high and low E strings off of the fretboard. On my guitars with a flatter radius this never happens. Also:>need to mow my lawn>every time I’m able to do so it’s raining>sunny right now>but it rained all day>neighbor has been making passive aggressive remarks about how long my lawn is getting (don’t care he can lick by balls)>be playing guitar with the window open>he comes out and begins mowing his lawn even though the grass is still pretty wet from all the rain>he can see me standing playing guitar in my room through the window>he points to his lawnmower as if to say “mow your lawn”>turn the amp up louder and keep playing while watching him mow his lawn>he keeps glaring at meLmao
>>121761078>window open I mean the blinds open with a clear view through the window, not with the window actually open
>>121761096Did that really warrant it's own post anon
>>121760449Buy a cutaway if you want access there. Those are built mostly for strumming
>>121761078You're in a real bind, my man:>acquiesce and he will think you are his bitch>resist and develop a bad neighbour-neighbour relationshipI would advise hiring a landscaping service for a few months to make him feel inferior.Also, trade the Strat for a Jazzmaster.
>>121761232>mostly for strumming why don't classical guitars have cutaways then?
>>121761349Classical guitars are not unlike violins where making major changes to their design is frowned upon. They do make nylon string guitars with cutaways though my friend has one
>>121761520>making major changes to their design is frowned upon.cause it changes the tone. same reason why the tele should not be changed.
>>121761078I owned that same model of strat in the surf blue and maple fretboard. Same experience as you, but instead of having a bending issue, I ended up just hating the sound as aesthetic of strats. Very bright sounding, but very weak and gay at the same time. I highly suggest selling it and getting a telecaster instead. You get a very bright sound, but it has more upper mids in the spectrum and is much more punchy and strong. Super versatile tone, and you don't have a pesky middle pickup that gets in the way of your picking. You can get an incredible lifer guitar by purchasing an american tele and swapping out the pickups for some custom shop pickups or even Ron Ellis pickups, and maybe even swap out other hardware like the bridge for something more vintage accurate.
>>121761647I would buy a tele if there was a standard tremolo system. I don't want to slap a gay looking bigsby on it.
>>121761078holy shit you owned him dudeyou probably looked so cool when you turned up your amp and played those cookie cutter blues licksstupid fag
>>121761894If you need a tremolo system, then go for a jazzmaster. They are probably the closest guitar to a strat in terms of brightness, but it is way more punchy and mid focused. Also, you really only need two pickups on a guitar. Just make sure you get one with a 9.5" fretboard radius and some high quality pickups. What amp you playing through?
ayo, anyone try those double tap fender humbuckers? they can switch to single coil mode by pressing a button on one of the pots.what is the verdict?
>>121757208Not a fan of the treble on this but solid playing.>>121760817I've had good luck with my phone on the floor about 5 ft back from the amp. YMMV
>>121760449Don't use your thumb to post on the back of the neck, you are better off trying to hit the harmonic with your picking finger and just doing it an octave down
god damn it how do i dial in the right amount of treble? it's either too brittle or too muddy where is the in between?

>>121763699Looks nice, anonNever really jived with how Gretsches feel in my hands, but like the toan
>>121763628yea he does listen to leads on songs like jealous again that's pretty bluesy anyway his unique sound is what makes him great for me, that's what I strive for as a guitar player, unique textures and colors and sounds and shit
>>121763803Thanks, Anon. I started on acoustic and my first 'real' guitar was an Epi Sheraton, so the size thing never really got to me.
>>121763821Are you fucking serious its power chord music literally the shittiest low iq garbage
Power chords are based.
they're fucking boring
Nothing is boring nor based it's just tools you nerds
>>121763901>the shape of the fingers on the fretboard is what makes music good or notfucking retard
>>121763979Punk rock is a comedy improv act where you dress up in a costume and pretend to be a musician. You sell an image of being a burnout loser to other burnout losers. You don't have to try to be good or anything, just sell the image and COMMIT to the improv, call everybody else a poseur while you pretend to be a musician. Actually sounding good is bad in this comedy bit. Now this may not seem that funny when you're 15 because everybody is wearing costumes for their cliques at high school. But the joke really gets good when they reach 30 and still suck ass and cannot make good sounding music yet have to continue to pretend.
>>121763821you know what's funny? that's exactly the song I was thinking of when I wrote my post. yes, there is chuck berry ROCK AND ROLL type blues playing but that weird descending line is what I'm talking abouti didn't even know the title was Jealous Again, I just googled "not the end black flag" that is my favorite Greg Ginn guitar lead, but it's not for the rock and rollit's that weird fucking descending linegood taste brotherhttps://youtu.be/fiRHKDbUGGw?t=72
>>121764113yeah that fucking part is sick and people say he has no technical skill yet if you listen to black flag bootlegs he replicates his solos live tootheres also really cool fills on the song revenge, i like that kind of lead rhythm playing he does on the jealous again EP on those two songs
>>121764110I love the cognitive dissonance of all the retards here that shit on "bad" guitarists that are a million times more successful than they they ever will be. Same sour grapes of all the drummers who shit on Meg White despite her being integral to the core sound of the White Stripes.If all these musicians are so bad, and you're so good, how come you've got jack shit to show for it? Who the hell do you think you are? You’re any kind of artist? Anybody know who you are? Maybe evrybody else wants to enjoy the peace and quiet. This is one of the most important places in North America and who are you? Who are you? You miserable presumptious no talent. You’re no artist. An artist respects the silence, it serves the foundation of creativity. You obviously don’t have the talent. You don’t have enough respect for yourself or other people, or know what it means to respect yourself. In music or any form of creativity. And I’m an NYU fil-school graduate. Sucker. And the School of Visual Art in the Academy of Art University in San Fransisco. You suck. You’re a no talent. If you really have talent, go practice. And then get yourself a gig, instead of ruining the day for everybody down here. You disgrace. You are everything that’s gone wrong in this world. You’re a self consumed, no-talent, mediocre piece of shit. And I’ve earned my right to say it. Okay? In 1975, I walked Bob Dylan up on stage. Who the fuck are you? I knew the Grateful Dead from 1966. Who the fuck are you? You’re nothing. You are nothing. And you will never be anything. Never. How dare you? You miserable, mediocre nothing. Shame on you. You crack a stupid little smile, you little pimp. Go learn to play. You’re flat. You can’t even carry a fucking note. I don’t care about your little horn lip, it doesn’t mean you know how to play. You’re flat. I’ve trained classically, I’ve trained contemporaneously, and you suck.
>>121764110>says nothing about the music but about the clothes some performers wearplus black flag went against the punk rock outfit, they never wore leather jackets or shit, they just wore normal ass clothes, and grew their hair out when being a punk rocker meant you have to have a shaved headthey never gave a fuck about image and it was always about soundyou can say that you don't like punk but attacking it for using power chords or because of the clothes they wear is just stupid and says nothing of what you actually dislike about the music itself
>>121764110>muh musicianship midwit seethingpunk success achieved
>>121762391I like to dial it in to where you can just get pinch harmonics with the guitars tone knob all the way up. And build from there. Giving the guitar enough trebble on the way in means you can capture more harmonics, and can duck below the level pinch harmonics sound out at with the tone knob. If you have distortion pedals or other effects that have tone shaping ability you can make different eq/gain options. If your question was regarding just a guitar and amp, that would be my answer. Enough trebble to not eliminate parts of your technique (getting usable harmonics), and adjusting bass and mids to taste/style you are going for. If playing in a band setting, you will probably use more trebble and less bass than you would think. The tone of each instrument combines to form a whole. An ice pick guitar tone with a growling bass and a mid heavy keyboard could combine to sound cool. But the guitar on its own would not sound how you would want it if you were just playing solo guitar by yourself. And there is a lot of leeway. There is no wrong tone really, it all depends on context.
>>121764193It sounds bad and it's a theory as to why anybody would ever fall for it or why somebody would deliberately choose to be bad. It has to be comedy. That's all that would make sense.
>>121757976that actually kinda goes hardthe sg's smaller shape really lends itself to becoming a headless
>>121764157he's not good good though. he's emotive. another great punk rock guitarist that sounds like he's having a conniption fit that I admire is Paul Leary from Butthole Surfers
>>121764173Anon drake and taylor swift are popular. We all know why normal people like the simple music they do.
>>121764249yeah i like paul learys guitar playing toolisten to the solo at the end of 22 going on 23 from locust abortion technician

>>121764361I need to have actual musicians with autonomy to enjoy music. I can't really do producer music with some looped shit on repeat. Let alone taylor swifts newer stuff which has no real drums and is so low bpm with no rhythm section that I can't make it through an entire song.
>>121764408dude u just get off to the ideas of music in ur head and don't care about the actual sound its apparent
>>121764408you the kinda midwit who probably thinks steve vai and satriani are the pinnacle of guitaristsi bet you don't even listen to joe pass because he's "boring"

>>121764470woah that bass tone is cool it almost sounds like a synth
>>121764449shitting on Satriani and Vai is worse than not appreciating Joe Passthey are literal virtuosos, top tier guitar players even if Satriani's surfing with the alien sounds like the music that played at The Maxx on Saved By The Bell, the man can playVai is legitimately interesting and super creative though and has crazy records that cover a lot of musical groundbut both are masterful players and deserve respect
>>121764538Check this track outhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuRm-F3CWk0
>>121764546both are masturbatory clowns who favor technicality over melodic songwriting. vai was good when he was constrained within the settings of other bands (mostly while under zappa) but as a solo artist he falls flat. both play guitar like olympic gymnasts on the balance beam, doing tons of unnecessary movements and flourishes because it's merely part of the judging criteria. son house had better songwriting ability than either of them ever will.
>>121764560He also uses it live, I have no idea what the bass synth effect that is at the hook but it is so juicy.https://youtu.be/N7SsbE4EYkA?t=58
>>121764663You have to have autism to appreciate steve vai. If you don't, you never will. His albums are insanely hit or miss though. This is one of my favorite tracks of his.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UimYiaFfnqE
>>121764663>both are masturbatory clowns who favor technicality over melodic songwriting.what if they are better at technical playing that songwriting? do you shit on John Lennon for not shredding?what's wrong with playing to your strengths as a musician?they are GUITAR PLAYERS you want songwriting listen to fuckin Tom Petty manidiot

>>121764696bop is super out there as far as sound choices but the harmony is pretty cool, references other pieces of his.
>>121764845yesand no an electric guitar instrumental is a ditty at best
>>121764663i could see this criticism for vai, if you don't like it then you don't like it i guess.satriani is way more accessible though. he has sections of wankery sure, but usually really strong, simple melodies outside of the 'solo section' of each song
>>121764855It reminds me of trying to go to sleep when my mind is whirring too fast

>>121764696that's amazingbut reddit ignores this "all he does is a million notes per second it's just mindless drivel"but if you actually listen to this, it's just really quirky, creative music. there is a bit of "shredding" at the end but it's not just 6 minutes of going as fast as possiblefor most of the track, you don't even hear shred guitarit's just music nerd music

Have you guys ever 'bonded' with a guitar?What was the situ?I am loving my new guitar like crazy. It's not been like this before.
>>121765169Why the fuck are you playing guitar then?
>>121765524Me with my Revstar. I’ve played Strats for 18 years but whenever I pick up one of my Strats to play I end up putting it back for the Revstar. It feels so nice and sounds so good. I’m genuinely thinking about picking up an expensive Japanese model just because I like this one so much.
>>121765145Amen brotherHonestly go on an old Vai kick every now and then even if I only really like about 5 or 10% of his discography
>>121764449The funny part is you 100% nailed this assessment.
>>121765524yeah and i sold it for drug money
>>121765524My first nice guitar was an MIM Strat. At some point I burned off the paint and sanded the body down to bare wood, oil finished it. Sanded out some contours to make it even comfier, swapped out the pickups, gave it a wackass treble bleed mod, and changed it to master volume+tone controls. I have a few other guitars, namely an American Jaguar and an RG8, but that strat is favorite to play with.
>>121764719Just as physics is the intersection of science and math, music is the overlap of language and emotions. Vai is the equivalent of someone standing on stage and reciting the solutions to solving gravitational field matrices. It's not poetry.

I am convinced that the wiring in my guitar is fucked due to the short periodic crackling noise that can be heard in this clip. The thing is, I can't reliably produce it by moving my guitar. Does anyone else hear something like this sometimes?https://vocaroo.com/1hqZ2ZIOGAMU

>>121768592Bro, your meds....
>>121765524Yeah, I bought a MIK Gretsch Electromatic that absolutely shits on guitars 5x its value. It's become my favorite guitar for Open C tuning. I love that guitar.
>>121760449you don't, as another anon said, those are used for strumming and you do not need to go that far anywaypast the 10th fret chords sound like squeaky crap >b-but I wanna do fingerstyle or some other random thing!imo don't try anything else until you learn how chords are built. You should know two versions on the fretboard for each major, minor chord. Variations like sus4,sus2, 7th, add11 only need one finger movement change most of the timeBy the end of it you should know from any random root note on the fretboard where the II,III,IV,V,VI chords could be located
My first guitar was a SX Strat like pic related but it said Essex instead of SX. It came with a MEGA amp that looked like a copy of a Marshall but sounded like crap.
is it better to specialize in one style of playing and master it or to be a jack of all trades with a broad skillset?
>>121769694Just play whatever you want, it doesn't matter
>>121769694It's better to be good at everything, but that's not realistic. Pick your lane.
>>121769768Single most based post in the history of this general.
>>121765851I posted jamiroquai lmao
I need serious help with deciding on an amp. From what I'm reading, it seems impossible to beat the Katana MK II artist head. Is it better to get the head and cab separately, or get the Katana MK II artist combo? I will probably spend most of my time on my PC AKG K701's, which is why I'm leaning towards the head, but that doesn't mean I don't want to occasionally play with a speaker. I'm not quite sure what the artist head by itself offers, that the combo doesn't.From what I understand a lot of people hate these, but there doesn't seem to be anything even close in terms of features and performance out there.

Which Rat clone should I get?
>>121770144pack rat
>>121770010katanas are lame. no pro guitarist uses that shit. it's basically for bedroom players only. over complicated digital nonsense. if it breaks there is no repairing it.
More like Fender Jagoff, loserlol
>>121770095>>121770663I see. Then what do you recommend? I just need a do it all, effectively. Speakers, headphones, built in delay and reverb, high gain.
>>121762126I found them to sound really thin and anemic when you roll the volume down even to like 6 or 7. Fender just sucks at making buckers lol
Music room almost done
Im gonna make a statement and I want you, /gg/, to name the first guitar that comes to your mind when you hear it>oh boy! I think I'm gonna cum on your back
>>121770683>a do it allthen you have to settle for something like the katana. no good amps come with all that junk.actually good amps would be something like a vox ac13 or a fender blues jr. check if those would work for you.
>>121770805Bro, your cats are absolutely going to piss all over your rugs and soft guitar cases lying around. Your mistake for getting cats
>>121770683An acoustic guitar and actually learning your music theory
Not mine. Found on auction site.It's a Fender Strat.
>>121771325These were actually great guitars, the originals that is. The reissues had Floyd’s instead of the kahler on the OG
>>121770922Flying v
>>121771369That one's supposedly from 89. Never seen em before. Looks cool to me.
>>121770683If you want something that does it all the endgame is something like a kemper, helix or quad cortex with a FRFR cab. The speaker is uncolored so you can use cab sims to simulate different speakers. Will it sound as good as the thing it's emulating? No it's maybe 80-90% of the way there. But it will do everything and you can even play bass through it
>>121771369Huh, depending on price I would just get a charvel san dimas though. If super low budget you could get a kramer striker for an 80s superstrat.
>>121766593Yeah I know, still might do it. My MIM Strat and cheapo Ibanez bass both need new jacks so once I get around to it I’ll do all three at once (not using tape tho). The factory jack is good enough for me but if I’m doing those two might as well do the Revstar too.
REALLY thinking about those new Yamaha Pacificas. The $1300 Indonesian and $2000+ Japanese ones. I don’t need another S type guitar but man those Pacificas look great on paper.
>>121771747>spending that much for a PacificaLmaoGet one of the cheap ones used for $200
>>121766818>lil bro wanted to be in the photo

>>121772627Kill all gearfags
>>121772602Jazzmaster
>>121772647You did ask for the best way.Cheaper though get a guitar, amp with a nice clean sound, a light overdrive pedal, and maybe a finger slide.Even cheaper just get a thrift store acoustic and learn a lot of country songs you like.
>>121772602find a squier telewith a or get a b-bender installed (there's cheap squiers with them already, as well as the b bender palm bar kits for around a hundred bucks or so)
>>121772602Tele, compressor, fender twin reverbOr just get a tele and a boss katana if you don’t want to spend that much
>>121772700I always thought b-benders were memesThey're actually utilized?
>>121772850Yes why else would they exist
>>121772875I dunno manA lot of shit in the guitar world seems to just be stupid nonsense
>>121772849Oh and an analog delay for slap back. Boss DM2 is the favorite. Behringer makes a decent clone. As for compressors, mxr dyna comp or any based on the Ross schematic
>>121772896boss katana has the DM2 built in. requires software fiddling to set up ofc, with an on the go cable (Lighting/USB type C to USB A (female) OTG cable + USB A to USB B (2.0) cable) you can run it all from you phone or a tablet

Compound radius fretboard. Seems pretty based, 12 at the nut that tapers to 10 up the neck. Are there any downsides?
>>121773863**14 at the nut
>>121771155Any favorite music theory resources?
>>121772850>They're actually utilized?In country: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAwdbhyU9QM
>>121773863I think this refers to 10 at the nut that tapers to 14 towards the body
>look at Squier Classic Vibe review>Where the FENDER Player Strat gives the impression of being a serious tool for dedicated players, the SQUIER CV series is more about the fun and cool factor that comes from playing guitar. What the hell does this mean? Is it marketing talk or the classic vibe is better than the Player?
>>121774147It's marketing bullshit you dip
>>121757089You been posting this for quite a while, try getting a job and buy one.
Are stainless steel frets just a meme?How long do you have to play to completely fuck up nickel frets?
>>121774198if you play a few hours a day on the same guitar, probably about 3-5 years before a full refret
>>121774198Depends on how aggressive your bends are. I use the Hendrix technique of hammering and bending cowboy chords a lot and my frets by the nut get visibly worn after 6 years maybe. Never actually had fretwork done since it hasn't yet impacted playability, but the wear is most definitely progressing.
>>121774147Marketing speak for bedroom/wall art guitar. You'll need upgrades and set up to gig that baby >>121774193He's a drummer all his money goes to supporting his cats catnip problems

Car guys are spending $4k for wheels that are 2lbs lighter.>>121771461I could put a kemper or one of those fag 6s next to a katana and you would not be able to tell the difference. Boss Katana dominance is almost comical. But hey, you could always be on the lookout for someone throwing away their mesa booger after getting a katana.
>>121774657Well thise car guy are retards lmaoBut considering I can get the same general sound for under $800-1000 I'll probably just do thatJust gonna be playing in my room anyway
Are Eastman guitars the Epiphones of Sadowsky?
>>121774675Yeah its a hobby so its all an emotional decision, whatever you want to and makes you have fun and feel good is what matters. Personally, I blow my money on the guitar and don't care much about other gear like pedals, but I also play with my 40 year old boomlenial friends that have all the nice shit for me to plug into. I recommend you do the same, but I'm super biased.
>>121774676They're the Barber Direct Drives of Seville
>>1217746752lbs of unsprung weight is massive though, particularly as its reducing rotational inertia during acceleration. 1lb of unsprung weight reduction is basically equivalent to removing 20lbs of sprung weight.

what is the difference between flatpicking and alternate picking?
>>121775404why don't you go ask chatgpt, zoomer?
>>121775404Nothing"Flatpicking" or "chicken picking" is just a dumb country term
>>121775404Flat picking is using a flat guitar pick rather than fingerpicking.Alternate picking is flatpicking where the direction of pick travel alternates on each pick stroke
Does it still make sense to build your own pedal board with the current prices or does an mfx unit make more sense? I added four basic pedals to my cart and I'm already on the verge of $500. This shit is going to cost $1000-$1500 once I'm done.
>>121775588buy used, buy clones, buy kits
>>121775162>Technology >:^|Sorry brother the stands of time don't stop for anyone. Don't kys, age is already taking care of that
>>121775588It makes sense if you want pretty pictures to post on your Instagram and Reddit. Not really the best use of your money though
>>121775588Depends if the mfx effects sound good to your ear, you could do both where you get standalone pedal that has the sound your mfx may not
>>121775813time is not real, and im not gonna pretend it is either like you fags, im not touching any of that digital shit not till my soul leaves my rotting fucking body
>>121775939Sadly time is like a rollercoaster. You're stuck in one place and know what happened before and can see what's coming up but you can't do anything about it. You don't have use anything digital but crying about others doing something you don't like is idiotic
Any experience with Tokai Guitars? A local guy has a Tokai SG copy and a Tele copy and I’m thinking about them. Reading online they were good enough that Fender sued them. Is it worth buying a very good copy for less than a more expensive original?I’ve never really liked SGs (I think they’re ugly and growing up watching School of Rock they’ve always been a joke guitar to to me) but $700 for a Japanese made Gibson copy that everyone says is great is very tempting. Im more interested in his Tokai Tele though.
what is the best guitar for men in their early 20s that are balding at an exceedingly rapid pace?
>>121776135700 for a copy is a lot you can get the lower end Gibson for about that much
>>121776135>Tokai Telei'd be okay with one of those. super soulful.
>>121776135The best Les Paul I've ever played was a Tokai. I didn't buy it because it was almost as expensive as a cheapo Gibson and I listened to my eyes more than ears. Not sure if they're all that good though...
>>121776203James Taylor Olson Guitars signature Kerry King signature BC Rich Flying V Joe Pass signature Epiphone/Ibanez any Satch signature
>>121776135 Just a warning a lot of Tokai's are Chinese shitters. Even the newer ones that say "Made in Japan", Japan allows manufacturers to use Made in Japan labeling as long as some of the guitar was manufactured or assemble in Japan. If it's not from the 70s or 80s I wouldn't even consider it.
>>121776332>olson guitars START at $22,000 for a barebones acoustic what the fuck

Been fucking around with this riff the last day. How should it be improved or where should I go with it next? I’m imagining a straight forward indie pop track https://voca.ro/16izlBNNZ2Me
>>121777993Nice Twin Reverb, my dad had a silverface Vibrolux of a similar vintage (late 60s?) that I borrowed often and it was an absolute joy to play. Eventually he got rid of it because the electronic components were all failing and it was constantly in an out of the shop
>>121778360yeah we don't really care about your dad kid. shit, he could die for all we care. same for you.
>>121778360Can we hear more about your pops? Dude seems like a great guy
>>121778360What components? You can get an amp to like new status for less than the cost of a brand new one.
>>121778480Stop projecting
Bought a Dyna Comp todayWhen do I become big country star
>>121778509Yeah of course man, he collects guitars mostly fender stuff but is really specifically into Kimball era Gretsch stuff, gave me picrel for my birthday one year Its still sitting in my closet cause I gotta get it refretted>>121778518Been too long to remember everything but I remember it had to be recapped and I think needed new pots too. It wasn't an issue of cost he just got tired of taking it to the shop only to have to bring it back a month later
>>121778637neat
>>121778360Thanks man. Your dad made a mistake of getting rid of it. Vintage handwired fenders sound incredible and are built like absolute tanks, so if any capacitors or transformers need to be replaced it’s usually very easy and relatively affordable for your tech to do that for you. If you’re ever wanting a vintage silverface amp, you ought to get a 70s twin since they’re extremely low in demand and therefore even cheaper than the shitter reissue amps. The vibrolux and the deluxe reverbs are going to be way more expensive because more people want them, but the twins sound better in my opinion and certainly pack enough power and low end if you ever want to be in a loud band
>>121778637Based, though wish the cutaway was a little deeper
What are some actually good youtubers worth watching to improve on an advanced level? A lot of the ones mentioned here always tend to be the beginner friendly ones.
>>121778886It depends on what genres you want to play. For Jazz, Jens Larsen is really helpful. For Country and Blues, Guthrie Trapp
>>121778794To be honest yeah it was probably a huge mistake on his end. Should have just got all the electric components swapped out instead of trying to keep it as original as possible and replacing parts piecemeal as they expired. He plays some little supro combo now which while cool is a huge downgrade>>121778827I agree the upper fret access is pretty bad. Its a cool guitar but theres little stuff like that and it bugs me so I havent found the motivation to get it fixed up. Cant bring myself to sell it either though
>>121778794Silverface Twins have been the steal for a couple of decades. I guess the weight is too much for some
>>121778886Tim Miller was cool
See what I mean?
>>121778886Frank Vignola
>>121778966It’s an absurd deal. I lift weights and am pretty strong compared to the majority of people and my 78 twin reverb is pretty fucking heavy (~90 lb) and a bitch to carry down staircases for basement shows. That being said, the early to mid 70s twins aren’t nearly as heavy. People are fucking pussies, it’s not that bad. The incredible clean tones and available volume you get from a 70s twin makes it worth it
>>121778924I play metal mostly and I need someone to watch to get my technique up without that someone being a cringy cunt like most guitar youtbers. I figure it doesn't even have to be some metal guy, anyone with skill and speed will do, I'll just turn on distortion later. I'll check these guys out though, thanks. >>121778972>>121779029Will check em out, thanks.
>>121779171Check out Tom Hess, he's a metal player and emphasis is mostly on right and left hand technique. I was hard capped at 130 bpm 16th notes for years and after watching and applying some of the techniques in his videos I felt like a light switch flipped on and I shot up to 160 almost overnight
>>121779051Should I tell him bros?
>>121777993what settings are you using on that twin reverb? you dialed it in to sound exactly like a boss katana
>fender '57 custom deluxei think i want this? do i want this? do i need this? can anyone in here even afford such an amp?
>>121779854i forgot the fucking picture
>>121757976link?
>>121779681KEKthis was my first thought, that sounds exactly like my boss katana
>>121779854>do wantyes>do needno
>>121779681Tele bridge pickup>phaser>preamp pedal>channel 1. Treb 5, mid 5, bass 4
>>121780695you sure that amp's the real deal?
Damn. Been reading a ton. There really isn't anything speaking to me, where I can say "yeah, this is better than my micro dark". Its all a ton of useless bells and whistles. Think I'll get a big cab instead thoughever.
>>121780695ah, it's the phaser that added the compression in that made it sound like a katana. that makes sense.
>>121780754Yeah. I dig the katana too, but a katana isn’t going to have huge crispy Louis cleans like a twin. A twin will cut through a full band and move a massive amount of air without sounding the least bit muffled or muddy. If you’re a bedroom player or are recording, a katana or Princeton reverb are great
>>121780817Loud, not louis, fuck
>>121780826your name is loud?
