Ancient Martin edition
/gg/ - guitar and bass general
*gives that guitar to Kurt Russell so he can smash it to pieces against a wall*
More like great grandma guitar. Lets just be honest. The guitar was largely a lady's instrument at first, for entertaining guests in their little house parties. It wasn't until the dreadnought that cowboy chads like Gene Autry used it.
But, honestly. I lost all respect for Lee anderton when he did that interview with the Gibson Murphy lab and insisted there was indescribable quality that made a 15,000 dollar Murphy lab guitar better than a 2,000 dollar Gibson 59 standard. It’s like hearing a snake oil salesman tell you that minute finish checking makes your instrument sound more full. If that’s the case, sell them without a lacquer, I don’t need to pay some boomer 13k to pre-destroy my guitar so lacquer can breathe.
I'm sure there's extra value to a masterbuilt guitar, just not that much value.
No not really, what was holding back how big a guitar could be traditionally was the strength of the wood itself because larger scale lengths meant higher string tension, and Martin were the first to experiment with steel strings. Later guitars included truss rods through the neck to strengthen and reinforce the wood, allowing for larger guitar bodies.
Which guitar should I buy for country
He's professionally a turbo shill. Judge with more objective measures like the potency of his sales channel, not his music or instrument accuracy.
any steel string acoustic or a tele
He shills just about everything equally though. I don't mind that. If you take it in isolation, it will look like specific shilling. But he gets stoked about the Fender or PRS factory too.
He's more sus when it comes to the house brands.
Of course. That’s what the custom shop is for, the attention to detail. I’m just saying that the Murphy lab is bullshit.
a player tele is $800 now
ffs
I'm sure you could find it cheaper.
Yeah and to eat out anywhere for one person is $15 minimum whats your point? IDK about you but I make more money than ever, get a job where you actually get raises dingus.
I had so much manic energy and I was going to put it into a few hours of furious practice, but then I got the worlds largest container of curry for lunch and I'm fucking comatose.
Need to smoke a bowl and see if that helps me feel less full.
Then its guitar and kitty time!
watch this video
guy endorses using this as a guitar
but not for full chords mostly triads
i didnt understand why its not considered a guitar until i heard him try that full chord. i still think the bass VI has the exact neck length i want but it cant do the chords i want. so i have to try and figure out something else. i have a guitar lesson on tuesday so i gotta figure something out. i just dont have any confidence i can play a 26 inch guitar with my hand size
get 6 string bass
plays exclusively in the regular guitar register
what did he mean by this
The volume knob on my Jet King is dying and I have one of these laying around, what mod should I do? It already has coil splitters.
using a guitar someone's dick has been all over
get strat few days ago bc want to learn guitar along w bass
watch a few videos and ask friend who plays guitar about fingering
main problem is giant hands cant comfortably fret notes like on bass
look into finding guitar's that have fretboards like bass's to see if that helps
find bass VI
local shop has one
when i show up tell the guy my intentions and problems
says that should be fine
purchase bass VI
we are here
They said they're willing to help me out if it turns out its not working for me. I think that maybe the guitar's are just the length they are for a reason. like if guitars could be made for people with larger hands cause it was a huge issue, it would be more guitars out there to suit my issue. i think its just purely skill issue at this point and ive accepted that i need a real guitar.
Boo hoo
get these ones, they're golden
Are you sure it's your hands?
and not your technique
play a lick
eat some fried chicken
repeat
Livin the life
Mountain can take you under his burly wing.
yeah it just has to be my technique. im not good enough to actually pinpoint what im doing wrong. i just gotta wait until i see my teacher to see what my problem is. i really like the bass VI so i might just keep it and get something used for 180-250. ill see how im feeling about it tomorrow
more like his sweaty turkey flaps
lol!

Bass VI is not a guitar, it's a whole ass octave below guitar, more like a bass with guitar string spacing and 2 extra strings, OR you can tune it like lowest 6 strings of 8 string guitar and think about it that way. If you keep it, don't feel obligated to stay in standard guitar tuning. Also, like this guy points out, some chords that sound tinny on guitar, make more sense on bass vi, youtube.com
This was my week 1 guitar problem. If I fret a string, I would automatically mute both strings directly adjacent to it. There are 3 reasons this can happen:
- you are not using the tip of the finger and instead try to fret with finger pad, just don't
- you have nails that hit fretboard, making you angle finger which results in finger pad muting string opposite the nail
- you don't have muscle memory yet and just try to fret the string with any random part of the fingertip that happens to fall on the string, also touching another string
Imo you can just keep practicing, use the ears and sense of touch as feedback.
look into finding guitar's that have fretboards like bass's to see if that helps
I'm surprised you ran into bass vi (bass with very narrow neck) instead of classical nylon string (guitar with very wide neck)
Things gg hates:
- stratocasters
- p90s
- real n!gg@s
Let's face it they were never embrace me here. You hurd?
We in here
Seek mental help
They aren't handling it well are they
masturbate
play guitar
sell guitar to a female
she plays it and thus indirectly touches my penis
I cracked the code guys
You won't believe how we restored this classic instrument
After watching this i think i figured out how I'll incorporate the bass IV when im skilled enough for it. To take full advantage of it, ill need actual guitar skills not bass skills. I'm looking at some stuff on sale from GC. i still dont have a combo amp. anyone got a rec since GC still has this sale going on? once i have my first lesson done ill have the tools to where i can build on what i gotta build on.
i think i saw some of those but not sure bc im new to the guitar world.
sell guitar to a female
she gifts it to her gay bff thus he indirectly touches your pen!s
I'm a /gg/ poster and stratocasters and p90s DO scare me however:
real n!gg@s
I don't see a boogie or plexi.
nevermind im getting this i love that blue
How do I get this fat fuck's purple telecaster?
Why is my timing and rhythm so bad? How do I get better?

As in haar haar that guy plays a Shatocrapster
Kek, no doubt!
What should I study if I want to be a blues guitarist?
12 bar blues bass is pretty fun practice
I'm just coming back to guitar after a long while and getting into it with scales and music theory and re-learning my favorite song.
Will I stop hating bassists at some point? Everytime I see a youtube video it's just a stoner dude noodling 2 notes per measure and looking really smug
Minor Pentatonic and Blues Scale
Bass haters are pathetic. You're better than that bro.
divorce, vagrancy, alcoholism
Nothing you need to go out and live life so you can have some soul then it will translate to your playing
Check out Charles Berthoud on Youtube, or if you have a sense of humor, davie504
I don't know man, I like the bass. It can be a pretty versatile instrument and slapping is fun.

I've seen charles and davie and some others and they rip, but whereas normie guitar players try to at least have some skill and improvisation, the normal bass players are waxed moustache redditors trying to be the GROOVE hitting... 2 notes every business day, on their thousand dollar basses
This thread has convinced me something is seriously wrong bassists.
every guitarist must rise to Dan Auermode now

thats what you sound like on guitar cuz ur bad

I pledge to forswear food and cultivate facial hair that is simian in configuration
learning the first solo to night train by GnR and Slash's pentatonic run around 2:16 is kicking my ass. Stuck at 90bpm rn
Time to fix your picking. I just went through it and after a couple of weeks I'm at 130bpm
are the horns, and most of the body, on a guitar just tradition now? why aren't they all just chapman sticks by now?
u want chapman to touch ur stick man thats weird
davie504
bro has one joke and it's gotten old by now. he can play though.
really? it feels like a fretting problem. i had it at 120 bpm following some tabs, but after listening to the guitars isolated at 25% speed, it sounds like Slash throws in a pre-bend and a half-bend that makes it weird to get down. i had to lower the tempo down to 60bpm to smooth it out
Haven't picked her up in like a year, but I'm determined this time. I'm going to get gud. I'm going to fulfill my duties of being a white singer-songwriter who performs shitty originals and covers of mid-2010s emo rap songs by using a looper and beatboxing into a microphone.
have multiple strats
have multiple p90 guitars
he’ll yeah brother
don’t have a strat with p90s
he’ll nah brother
V30's are fizzy pieces of shit and Im tired of pretending they're not. I ordered another swamp thang for my 212 and will throw the wizard in a 112.
youtu.be
any fahey bros here? learning this one right now, really fun song to play. fast part is tricky to nail
v30s are midrange horns and they're perfect
For you
JMs have a very rich and largely straight history. I doubt I'd choose it over a Jag myself, but I'll never let someone convince me it's gay guitar.
thom yorke increases the gay factor by a magnitude of about 20
For me it's the dunlop primetone 1.4
JMs are cool but idk they just don’t do it for me. I had one for a few years and tried and tried to really bond with it and just couldn’t. There was never an instance where I’d choose it over a Strat or Tele, and even when I’d force myself to pick the JM I’d spent the whole time thinking “I wish I had my Strat or Tele instead.”
For me it’s the Amazon Primetoan
Psionic audio says those speakers arent very good
He's got a wife and kids, he can't be that gay.
To each their own. I'd take Jazz position 2 over Strat position 5, but the other Strat positions kick it's ass.
for me it's my thumb, index, and middle fingers
Glenn Fricker says they're great.
Glenn > Psionic
Had a breakdown in the local music store a/gg/ain bros... It's so over.... I think I'm banned for good this time.
Talk to us bro. What's going on.
what happened
based
shit himself, depeche mode, gibson sg, hot girl or guy, burger king
The story never changes dumbass mf
Was wearing gym shorts and accidentally sprayed diarrhea all over the marshals in the fancy room with the glass doors. After that I don't remember much but I was yelling super loud and my whole world became a white pinpoint dot and everything was numb and there was loud ringing in my ears. I know everybody that works there and this isn't the first time something like this has happened. Can't even imagine what they say about me in private.
You guys seein' this?
fuck u
I tried to warn them
bro played the brown note
What would Guthrie Govan say to this lad rn? He always has a way to make it better.
like feng shui dude
I don't know who that is
replying to himself
Time for tubes.
Time for them to be warmed up.
I'm seein this, guys.
Name one song that Guthrie Govan has written.
*crickets*
Now tell me what kind of musician can't write a song. No musician at all.
Who's he talking to bros?
who's he talking to bros?
toil away for years
finally release your magnum opus, "*crickets*"
immediately forgotten
Looks like he hit a nerve, huh? This is a Guthrie general. If you don't like that maybe check out r/guitar.
It's not your fault.
Just found a song he wrote. It's just some retarded noodling over a backing track and the only people that care about it are other guitar autists. Kek.
The Guthrie album Erotic Cakes is undeniably a masterpiece. Wouldn't expect people who listen to Radiohead/Oasis to understand. Don't worry, it wasn't written for you anyways.
Imagine
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Wait no seriously IMAGINE making music to impress a bunch of Indians that thought learning guitar would get them pussy
That's Guthrie Govan kek
I'd like to see Guthrie play Champagne Supernova and mean it. He can't. Noel makes bangers that Guthrie never could. End of.
A band with Noel and Guthrie would be amazing. Drummer should be Dave Lombardo. Bass player would be the guy from Phish.
I've been playing guitar for over a decade and I still cannot play Wonderwall.
I've been playing music since I was a child and I still have no idea what a mode is. No matter how its explained it just doesn't click for me.
You actually kinda cookin here bro. I can name quite a few mountain songs but not a single Guthrie govan song. Really makes you think
The sharty really dealt a harsh blow to this already dying beast.
