/gg/ - guitar & bass general
uncovered pickups are for plebs
Once, I was at the Guitar Summit show in Frankfurt, and I took two Cremona violin makers who were at the show to my wood supplier to pick out curly maple back wood. They both picked about 35 backs out of what was in my friend’s booth. When they were done, the supplier looked at me with his jaw dropped, and said, “Oh my god.” I said, “What?” He said, “Look—all the backs they picked have the same number on them.” I said, “What does that mean?” He said, “The ones they picked all came from the same tree!” What they had been doing when they went through the pieces of wood was not to look at the curl, but to tap on them to find out how long they rang and whether they had a good note. They picked the backs that had the longest ring time. I learned something that day.
That's a fantastic story it perfectly illustrates the deep intuition and skill that master luthiers develop. Without needing to see the numbers or know the history of the wood, they honed in on the acoustic properties that mattered most like sustain and resonance purely by ear and feel. It's a powerful reminder that great craftsmanship often relies on senses and knowledge that can’t be easily explained but are deeply learned through experience.
Would you say that moment changed how you select tonewood or think about instrument building?
this dude talking to himself
fuck... i was too tired last night and ordered this while drunk

there's no way it's a real one, right?
Buy once. Cry once
Is this AI?
how is it? it seems really cool
Hello, dear friend, welcome to my shop! We are a guitar factory from China.
no, those hellraisers are made in south korea. might be halfway decent though as it looks the part
What's in the back?
how is it?
No idea. I can’t afford it
have you mastered the mind, the ear and the hand?
Cheap Plexis and compensate with pedals. That's my new motto.
You know, ESP is not just for metal
Good morning /gg/bros. Starting the day off with some Pat
Groovy
Will a new guitar finally make me happy?
No.
YES. BUY THE ONE YOU WANT
It'll sure take up more space in your house. This sort of behavior could over time impinge on your freedom of movement
why is it so much harder to practice to a metronome
Let's say you wanted to get good at guitar in 3 years.
Let's say you already know a few songs and not much else.
What's the fastest way to get good?
Year 1: listening to a note and identifying it on fretboard
Year 2: scales
Year 3: ??
just play the songs you wanna play and learn the techniques as you encounter them. and try to challenge yourself as much as possible
If I could
I'd take your song and milk it long
Cause it's free
No royalty
You'll get from me
I'll milk it good
anyone got tips for learning necrophagist riffs? I mostly have the alternate picking and string skipping down, but I really struggle on the super fast tremolo picked parts. Like my arm needs to be placed differently for string skipping and alternate picking, and I can't switch between the two fast enough
learn some chords for a song I'm learning to play
they show up again in another song
Huge
learning more than G C D and Em
Wanker
Many such cases
7 chords lmao
I really struggle on the super fast tremolo picked parts
skip those parts
Based
do what the tik tokkers do and record them slowly then speed them up lmao
V for me.
Do you need to have long hair to play something like this?
How to improve the playability of a Gibson Les Paul? The ergonomics are terrible
These things are so awkward. Maybe they're for people who play standing up
Depends what it is
Holy shit, i think i've found my next guitar. it's like a poor mans Jim Root tele.
thanks guys
I was going to say no, but the headstock and color are pushing it for sure. Baldies have to take the L on this one.
Black is boring
This would look nice with an ebony fretboard and blacked out EMG pickups .
Wrong. I play mostly sitting and my King V is my favourite. Most comfortable for playing sitting because your spine and shoulder stay in a natural position rather than having to push your right shoulder forward and whatnot to get your arm in a good position.
Most people who think Vs aren't for sitting never actually played one or have no idea how to actually hold it.
Can you post a pic or draw a diagram?
Bluepilled take
he's just playing in the classical position
I prefer yellow
