>>132008682hee hee hee
I recently dealt with the absolute most worthless retard of a guitar tech at a Guitar Center My guitar has high frets. I know this because I straightened the neck, put a fret rocker on and found the high frets. I'd fix it myself but I don't have the tools so I figured just pay someone to do it. This fucking boomer faggot keeps my guitar for a week and tells me he played it for hours and couldn't find any issue and asked me to come in and show him. So I do, play one single chord which immediately rattles like crazy from the high frets, and this fucking idiot starts lecturing me on my playing as if I'm a brand new guitarist. I've been playing for 21 years He said "you must be self taught because you'd know to use light touch or else things can buzz" and then started playing my guitar going on about "I play 5 hours a day and don't have callouses because my touch is so light" and then he says he practices his touch and that's why he has muscle memory and can find any fret AND THEN this dumbass tried to play a chord without looking and missed. I just said "yeah sure I'll go practice" and left. Fuck that fucking idiot
>>132008712yea i ain't readin' all that shit
>>132008724It's just me ranting about how stupid GC techs are Never again

He wants to spend $300 - that means no lessons, not even any decent virtual lessons, and probably no job.If he does beat the odds somehow and manages to learn even a single simple song, that means he's likely actually not complete unemployed and retarded and then can buy a better guitar and amp very easily now that he knows anything at all.

>>132010231gay
>>132010227Well... I was at gc (guitar center) earlier... And this absolutely DASHING lady cashier was checking me out. Seriously she could have been the one. But as I was about to ask for her number I felt a low warm pain in my lower intestines. Before I could react liquid sin violently sprayed through my basketball shorts and spattered all over an Ovation acoustic. I just dropped everything and ran out in tears. There's no way she wants me after that bros...
>>132010256if she was the one she would've gone after you
>>132010256That poster SO wasn't me. OH my goshing heck guys stop doing that!
>>132010256Stop, if she was the one she'd understand bro, you can't let your mistakes prevent you from livin bro just learn from and move on okay? You'll get through this and be better for it maybe finally meet your lady love ya?
Playa out here destroying Ovations multiple times a year always in the same way dawg? Why do shopkeeps even let him in at this point? This sad bastard is doing it on purpose you feel me? I guarantee he gets of on it. Sick man. Matter of fact if I saw him come into my shop I'd be all like "Nah my guy, we're good bro...".
>>132010256She'd be lucky to have you Mountain. Stop this foolishness. Go back in there and give her your number.
Are tubes good for you?

>>132008712>bringing your guitar to McDonald's for workyou know these guys would be stocking shelves at Red Barron if they had not gotten a call from GC first, right? Just buy tools at home depot for a fraction of the price, that metal file will not suddenly be better because it says StewMac on it and costs four times as much, goy.
>>132007607My first guitar cost about £150 quid and came with an awful little 10watt fender practice amp so it cost even less than that on its own. It's a squier affinity strat. This was back in 2002 ish so no idea what they'd go for now but back then it was pretty much the cheapest of the cheap.It's one of my favourite guitars. It's all in the setup. Guys like >>132008201 are talking absolute bollocks. There are endless amounts of cheap shit guitars that will smoke considerably more expensive ones if they've been setup properly and as a beginner, learning to properly set up your guitar should be part of your learning process. If you get the action right, adjust the truss, get the intonation spot on etc... You can turn even a very cheap guitar into something that is very playable and even fantastic that will be serviceable for your entire playing career.I remember an old Paul Gilbert vid where he showed off a bunch of his guitars and so many of them were weird foreign basically plywood shit clones he'd grab from pawn shops and said that once his tech got hold of them and dropped in some hot pickups and gave it a proper setup, he'd rip on them and play them live. For playability you don't need to spend much. Sound is where you want to spend the money.A cheap, well set up guitar run through a decent amp will always be preferable to splurging on some £1000 guitar run through some absolutely dog shit amp.When you're at the point where expensive gear matters to you, you'll be far enough on with the hobby that you'll be able to make your own decisions because you'll know what matters to you as a guitarist, rather than take advice from gear snob rich kiddies and their dust gathering custom les pauls and triple rec bedroom stacks that they grind out sloppy metallica riffs on.TL:DR buy a cheapish guitar or buy second hand and learn to set it up right.
>>132011145I just had it taken apart to check while I had the chasis out. Thanks though, chief.

How would /gg/ rate this guitar solo? Is it difficult? Is it good?https://youtube.com/watch?v=yX2e-oh_JXk
>>132011309nice try craig
>>132011309/gg/ would shit on it because they can't play it I would not rate it because I don't click on links in /gg/
>>132011309I would say it's quite difficult, I haven't learned it yet but I would want to eventually. It's one of my favourite Justice tracks.
>>132011370How does it compare to van halen solos in terms of difficulty? I'm not a guitarfag (piano only) but some of the runs towards the end sound pretty tricky to me, the beginning and middle section seem fine Here's a guy trying to play it in one go, seems like you have to use the whammy bar a lot:https://youtube.com/watch?v=U9boDeV-bL0

>>132011506Van Halen is proto hair metal though so it's gay and lame by definition.

Why buy a FRFR cab like a memebrained consoomer guitardist when you can just buy a PA wedge like literally everyone else has been doing for years?
>>132007607You can get a good used Squier for under $300Really learning guitar is pointless and you're better off doing other stuff. Especially if you're old enough to post here

>>132011148I will do any and all setup and maintenance stuff besides filing frets or nuts simply because I don't know what I'm doing. I would rather get a cheap guitar or even just a neck to practice and learn on rather than DIYing my expensive Les Paul
>>132013080And yet you won’t pay a proper luthier?
>>132011148>stocking shelves at Red Barron ah, yes. the famous red barron store. real turd world hours lmao
I just bought this 60’s or 70’s Red Label Yamaha FG-180 for $70 at the flea market, I hope after I pay for a set up I like how it sounds, otherwise I’m gonna sell it.
Does this work?

When you reach a high level of technical ability, does it need to be maintained?
It's pretty interesting how most of the pseudo-mystical subjectivist nonsense with people who desperately believe you can hear the difference between two different capacitors and similar nonsense has all but died out in the audiophile world for anyone under about 60 years old... But here in the guitar scene, the ignorant foolishness lives on as strong as ever. Really speaks to the averga intelligence of guitar buyers.
>>132013629Don't do this it makes chlorine gas.
>>132014059Electric guitarists are the most intellectually oppressed musicians.
>>132013629yes>>132013704don't use 'wet' lubes on string contact points. it collects dust which grinds/abrades the strings.
>>132007580call me what you want but these bad boys are the only ones i have used for the past several years and i love em. The tiny ones with the grippy, not the wider ones. Does anyone have any suggestions for something similar but better?
>>132010256Ovation is made by aerospace engineers. They're designed for turbulent shit.

>>132014650I just switched from max grips back to tortex for acoustic because the nylon was too dull sounding. I missed the grip at first but it's only a day or two of adjustment.
>>132014911i exlusively play electric, i dont care for grandpas guitars whatsoever.
>>132014923Then get ultex sharps why do you have baby bitch fingers that need extra grip?

>>132008285>And you also have to figure in an amp. You can't find a halfway decent amp under $900 unless you find a well taken care of used one for a nice price. Some retard will come along and recommend a Boss Katana but those are shit.Jokes aside amp is not necessary. Focusrite+Ableton will do the job
>>132015914honestly a pretty kewl guitar
>>132013767Yeah but if you get rusty it just takes a little warm up period to get your chops back up to scratch. It's like being fluent in a second language. If you haven't spoken it in a while, you're rusty, but a few days immersing yourself and it all comes back sharp as ever. It's not like you have to pick it all up from scratch again.But that'd only happen if you had to stop playing for an extended period of time for some reason. If playing is your hobby/livelihood, you're not really going to get rusty because you're keeping your tools sharp every time you pick up and play.
>>132011149Yes but Paul Gilbert is a shizo and his guitar tech adds basically another several hundreds of bucks of work by setting up a shit guitar so it's less shit.Might as well just buy a guitar that costs this much more and is already set up properly from the start Also another thing that plays a role is tremolo system which sucks dicks on cheaper guitars
>>132015999The point is that you can buy a new guitar for a few hundo and then teach yourself to set it up to its absolute best and it's going to play well enough to take you from total beginner to advanced ability at which point you're going to be keen enough to justify spending some decent scrilla on some proper kit.It's not the 80s/90s/00s any more where cheap guitars were made out of compressed cardboard and rolls of pennies taped together that would warp and wouldn't hold tune for more than 5 seconds. The budget guitar space is flooded with fundamentally really solid offerings that are a good setup away from being smooth as fuck.Yeah, you won't get good pickups or thru neck or a proper floating tremolo or whatever but that shit doesn't really matter to a beginner. Even crap hardware sounds good enough through todays modelling amps and software. Good enough to record and perform. It's 90% in the fingers anyway and like I said, if you're at the point where your sound is a big problem you're performing/recording at a level where you can justify an upgrade.

>>132016191>guitar in case>microfiber cloth to wipe strings down with>humidipaks>humiditymeterthing>that fast, tight, violent picking that's locked in with the kicksI am in awe of this faggot. If Evertunes make you play like this, I'll sell my Gibson. What's your new guitar?
>>132016274Only retards keep their guitars out in the open, unless your room is free of dust and has humidity control, at the very least. Also, thanks, I still fucked up a few times but that's fine, I'm still writing it. My new guitar is picrel, the shop took it for me. It's Solar''s 29 inch 7 string and I had it turned from passive to active with a pair of SD Blackout pickups. I wanted them to paint it flamingo pink, too, but they don't do paintjobs, so I'll have that done later. A gay, pink XXL metal guitar will be funny. It should arrive next week.

>>132016368Sick, but what do you need that scale length for?
>>132016390Thanks. I just went with where it took me. I've always had a thing for lurching, dissonant tunes that build into something violent. >>132016455So I can do the same tuning I do on my 8 string, but with more tension on the low Eb, so there's way more authority to it. It's bassy and a bit floppy on my 27 inch 8 string i posted up there, even with the chadtune.

>>132016191what im hearing, the guitar shit, its kinda stock
I have schizophrenia. There are times, even on my meds, when I suffer from severe paranoid delusions and hallucinations. I get scared, I'm human. But when I try to talk to people about what I'm afraid of and I see responses that paint me as some kind of freak, or like I'm the thing to be afraid of, all it ends up doing is isolating me and fueling my mental illness.

>>132019100There are some bits here that I dig. You can solo, that's for sure. Also, not much, gonna see about finishing writing that song today, I already got a rough scratch track of the ending bit recorded. Might take a week off from lifting for moar music time, I think I'm pretty much done with my 4 month back focused lifting cycle, anyway.>the super rough scratch track of the ending: https://vocaroo.com/18jmkDMPpc9B
>>132019556>rough scratch track>tighter and heavier playing than I could ever hope manageI am just going to shit on how bassy your 8th string sounds and will act like you are garbage for playing the kind of guitar you have to make myself feel better.
>>132019604Practice with a metronome. Keep your forearm and wrist relaxed, and use classical position with proper posture, no hunching forward to get a better look at your frets and picking hand. It's all in the wrist. Slant the pick a little, don't hit the strings flat with it, and use a smaller pick with ~just the tip~ peeking out between your fingers without your fingers hitting the strings before or after the pick does. Play a whole lot of stuff like Fear Factory and Dyscarnate. Post your stuff in /gg/ and attach a gay spider or 8 string guitar. And don't forget to stretch / massage / relax every muscle you're using for this. It's a lot to demand from your picking hand, and you don't want to be yet another player who runs into shoulder, forearm, or hand issues.
>>132019705Thank you 8 string gay spider senpai.
