No I keep giving up, i bought a sweet guitar though and it looks nice in my room
why do amerifats call electric guitars "guitars"
what you idiots call "acoustic guitars" are the real guitars. You undestand they were invented first right? you can't be THAT moronic.
That's a hollowbody you absolute fricking mong
if it connects to an ampifier, it's an electric guitar. If it doesn't it's just a guitar. Simple as.
No sane person uses this definition lol
Enjoy malding
literally everyone in the planet EXCEPT amerifats uses this definition.
I'm not American. No sane person would describe this as an electric guitar. good luck anon.
that's an electro-acoustic.
I'm starting to think you're acoustic.
if it has pickups, it's electric.
if it has a hole, it's acoustic.
if it has both, it's electro-acoustic.
it's not that difficult.
then why even use the term guitar, just say acoustic, electric and electro acoustic. You just proved that the term guitar is a blanket term that applies to all of them when you don't have to specify which kind it is. Also if you play one of them you can play all of them which means you can play the GUITAR
there's more than 1 electric instrument you fricking moron
my fricking god how autistic are you, we're talking about guitars so obviously electric refers to the electric guitar not a fricking electric toothbrush.
I guess the term "guitar" must be applied to the most popular one, and that changes from culture to culture. In the anglo culture (or maybe just the US) the electric guitar is more popular so it makes sense for that one to be called "guitar" and all the others having an adjective. In other cultures, like Hispanic for instance, where kids are basically playing acoustic guitars at age 3, that one gets called just "guitar" and it's the others that get the adjective.
does that mean that your mother is an acoustic guitar?
cool electric line bro
>if it has pickups, it's electric.
Magnetic guitar would be more accurate.
Blessed post
i attended the dragon school and eton. i call it a gi-tar and stress the first syllable
A guitar is a guitar you post aborted fetus
Acoustic, electric, hollow body, etc is the type of guitar
>every piano is a grand piano
>every organ is a pipe organ
>every horn is french
you're a fricking moron. you're probably french or english. frick you.
If an electric GUITAR isn’t a guitar then what is it?
"If my grandmother had wheels she would be a bike"
>doesn't think a classical guitar is the original
sad to read in text, sad to hear in text-to-speech, sad to feel in braille
it's so nice that your wrangler lets you use the internet like normal people.
>why do amerifats call video games "games"
>what you idiots call "board games" are the real games. You undestand they were invented first right? you can't be THAT moronic.
videogames being called "games" happens worldwide. Electric guitars being called "guitars" does not.
It literally does, just apparently not in whatever weird country you're from.
t. euro
I have never in my life heard anyone specifically say "electric guitar," that's usually said later, as in "Oh you play guitar? What kind?"
if someone mentions gutiar i assume electric or acoustic, if you play classical or flamenco then you usually need to specify
>you can't be THAT moronic
screeched the double digit IQ eurotrash
They are the exact same instrument.
nice looking axe bro
Thanks king, I got a great deal on it too. I really need to get back to learning.
I don't own a guitar. But I do think It would be cool to be a rock-god hehe.
Im a gigging musician and i laugh at kids who "play" this garbage.
I have an actual job and I laugh at gigging musicians
how so?
i've played hundreds of hours but also practiced some scales and song memorization
what do you think i'm missing? i know the notes like the palm of my hand ofc
not that anon, but im watching a vid just to learn what this game is, i came here for the guitar discussion kek
It's just guitar hero but "realistic"
it doesnt look bad from the youtube preview. dunno what that anon has a problem with. but it also seems like something you'll grow out of really quickly if learning is your goal. if its meant to be an arcade game thing then i can see it having longer lifepsan. so far it looks like its designed to teach rather than be an arcade game
It has several arcade modes from what I remember, such as for practicing scales
also has video tutorials inside the game teaching you techniques and practice segments afterwards which you need to pass
does it let you actually jam with songs like guitar hero? it seems liek everything is oriented toward learning
you memorized the fretboard notes?
yeah, started since i picked the guitar
took me a month or so to do it without thinking
now it's second nature, effortless
thats really impressive, i never did that, but a bit counter intuitive in my opinion. i dont want to demean your accomplishment but actual notes arent as important as learning the way the guitar is constructed. how long do you spend looking at individual notes in chords? i usually think of chords in terms of intervals, and i happen to know the notes of every triad, which is more practically applicable.
i learned the caged system and how to count intervals, and interval shapes. then scales after that. then you can play the chord shapes all up and down the neck and modify individual notes which is a much more practically useful skill. individual notes arent that important to me but i happen to know them too through osmosis. i think of the guitar in terms of triads and intervals first and foremost.
>in terms of intervals
yeah, intervals are the most useful thing to know on guitar, specially if you wanna play by ear, that's what i'm trying to do right now
but i find it funny how guitarists are the only musicians who try to avoid knowing where the notes are
in the long run i want to try to play sheet music, so i realised learning the notes pretty early would be helpful
ah okay, thats good. a lot of classical guitar music is in sheet form, and if you want to transpose other stuff then it's useful.
>but i find it funny how guitarists are the only musicians who try to avoid knowing where the notes are
true. kek. but theyre not helped by teachers who absolutely overload them with useless theory info. its much more practical to learn how the guitar is actually constructed first.
people shouldnt be stuck on guitar for years. i saw a highschooler make a post the other day "if i practice this for 10 years will i", yeah it might take 10 years for improv skills, but you can unlock the fretboard in a month tops. people just give intimidating scale charts that require brute force and scare kids off.
i think learning the individual notes is way harder. youll literally master it in a week tops if youre that autistically gifted.
anything youre working on specifically now?
What the frick is going on with the far right column. This is an elaborate joke right?
Disregard that I'm stupid I didn't notice that it was double counting. Flats and sharps of note that don't have them and double sharps are a failure of how sheet music is structured and I'd really wish people would stop making such mistakes labeling them as such when trying to use non-major modes
it has to do with the naming scheme. "augmented 4th" is different than "diminished 5th" but technically the same semitones.
>changes tuning
what now?
*dies*
you are correct this thing forces you to play with a slighty high pitch
and it didnt detect bends correctly
Doesn't teach you to mute the other strings either, as long as it hears the notes it doesn't matter, you can be playing a bunch of bullshit between every note and it'll be 10% complete even though it sounds nothing like the song.
100%*
i think its just supposed to be a guide while you do the work yourself to make it sound accurate, not hold your hand every step of the way. thats part of playing after all. guitar is an instrument that requires your own ear. if you break it on purpose then youre missing the point
Want a good way to practice clean playing in rocksmith? Use the lead tone from american woman. Lots of people complain about it for being nothing but noise but thats because of their sloppy playing. If you play cleanly it sounds really good, a really sharp fuzz. Will obviously not work for all songs because its breaks up hard for more than two notes. As a side note to this, whats up with people playing the game with the music higher than 2% volume.
I'd been playing for years before I started playing it.
Download custom songs and it's just a neat, easy way to play along with shit for fun.
I use an ABY box so that I can use my actual amps instead of the shitty in-game sounds.
You sound like an insecure homosexual. I play in a band and I still play Rocksmith and have been for years. It's fun.
I live in an apartment and practicing that instrument would be too noisy.
bro, an electric guitar barely makes any noise unplugged. Headphones and virtual amps exist, you know?
How loud can an electric guitar get without an amp?
barely loud, If it's solidbody electric your phone on low/med volume will overpower it. I used to play into 4am unplugged in my apt livingroom at uni.
I have this for my apartment, it even has a headphone input whenever I feel an urge to play it at 2AM
I have the 15 watt version. so nice for a little solid state amp.
THR is great. I love mine.
I bought a cheap acoustic guitar to learn and replaced the strings with cheap electric guitar strings because my fingers hurt. After 3 days the strings started rusting and I don't really want to get tetanus so I just stopped.
And no, I'm too lazy to replace and look for actual stainless strings.
I suspect from this post that you have a long history of failing at simple tasks
>electric strings on acoustic
>tetanus
reaching gigatard levels of tismo.
Decent nickel-coated strings are like $10. How poor are you?
bruh you're not gonna get fricking tetanus from guitar strings.
You get tetanus from bacteria in dirt that happens to usually be around where rusty metal is, not from the rust itself.
>inb4 replying to a 12 hour old post frick you
Justinguitar + songsterr, you don't need this shite
I'm following Justin's method but I use rocksmith to "just play songs!" like Justin encourages.
Haven't used it in a bit but gonna get back on the grind.
Rocksmith Plus or whatever it was called looks like an absolute steaming pile of shit
Solos and wankcuckery are gay and cancer
Git gud.
You are one of those people who care about playing with ~~*feel*~~ and ~~*emotion*~~ in music aren't you?
kys homosexual
LESS is MORE, period. Cope more and have a nice day, progcuck.
This. This is why metal heads will always be soulless when it comes to music. They think playing fast = is good. Not to say that playing fast isn't good, but music more than playing it's about FEEL. musiclets will never know that feeling of playing music.
>MUH POCKET
You're right tho.
3 power chords played on a rusty guitar is garbage.
Go read some sheet music from the greats, you wont find any fricking 4/4 simpleton ``````FEEEEEEEEEEELz````` shit there.
Music speaks differently to everyone.
now let's talk about how jimi hendrix had his own timing and all the classic rock records changed tempo with different sections based on feel, and how protools and metronomes are ruining music
Every guitarist learns timing and learns how to play the damn instrument. Once you learned that then when it comes to improvising the feeling of the mood takes over. Maybe it's people who only do covers and don't improvise/make their own music don't get that feeling.
Every heard of doom metal? It's not fast.
not that anon, my problem with most metal is most of the good tone comes from either basement mixed records or overly brutal stuff which gets samey. theres a lot of different tones and instruments to express the feeling. at least blues and country branches out into different textures and modes of expression.
I 100+%ed a song on master and I sort of took a break and haven't touched it since.
Didn't mean to.
Does it work on Steamdeck?
Does a SteamDeck have a USB port? then yes. because you need the realtone cable to be plugged in or it kicks you out of the song, stopping you from using it at all.
>Does a SteamDeck have a USB port? then yes.
That's not the only factor, the steamdeck is running on Linux.
It runs fine on my desktop (debian) at least but there's a fair amount of lag between video and audio that I haven't bothered to fix.
I started playing guitar after Guitar Hero 2. Go to Songster dot com, learn tabs. Been doing it for about 15 years now. You'll get good if you can count to about 21. I can take a song I've never played and slightly play along like karaoke, try it a few times and you can play most songs after 30 minutes of focus. I tried Rocksmith, its not very good. Just find the songs you like on songster/GuitarPro in tab form. Reading music is for orchestra homosexuals with 4 strings.
what if most if not all of the 7 songs I know are tremolo picking one string at a time? I just love black and death metal...
Being a brainlet is ok as long as it sounds good.
It makes too much noise, and I'm embarrassed to practice with people nearby because it sounds like shit.
I pick it up again every few years and give it another shot for a month or so. What I really want is a handheld instrument that's silent, but there aren't really any good options and the ones that exist tend to be pretty expensive.
Why are zoomers such gigantic pussies? If you want to learn how to play it, then play it. Nobody gives a shit and if anyone say your playing is bad the tell them to suck a dick and continue practicing.
>surely you've learned to play by now?
No. I realized I have a big white wiener and women all over the world wants it, so learning a guitar was meaningless. That's the only use of Rocksmith. People who actually love music itself, never bothered with moronic shit like this.
Is there a game like this but for piano? I want to learn
maybe Synthesia
Neothesia is the good one these days.
>can't retain songs through software
well yes, you're supposed to use the software to practice and then learn reading tabs/sheets so you can apply the techniques and actually memorize a song
thanks, that looks good and is foss

still don't wanna play rocksmith.
As someone that's been using Synthesia for the past 4 months I can say these programs don't do shit about teaching you to learn instruments. It's actually made me lazier and now I can't even remember the songs I used to know by heart cause I *need* that Guitar Hero chord visualizer to play. Basically I can play a lot more music now but only on my personal piano with a laptop with synthesia connected to it and nowhere else so I might as well be a larper.
Then learn the song through tabs, why are you making excuses? You might have a problem retaining songs with Rocksmith, but the techniques you learn such as playing chords, double stops and arpeggios etc you're not gonna forget. And when you learn those techniques then you can get off the game and learn songs off tabs.
Problem is people get stuck on rocksmith and yousician etc and they get a brainworm that tells them they don't need to memorize the notes, just be good at hitting them at the right time it comes on screen.
People don't get stuck on Rocksmith, that's the stupidest shit I've ever heard. Rocksmith doesn't have every song that everyone likes so people are gonna have to learn outside the game. There's nothing wrong with the game if you're new, I actually recommend it along with lessons. The game helps retain players interest in the guitar.
okay moron, go ahead and show me why it isn't recommended by anyone nor the guitar generals on Ganker
Who gives a frick about those moronic boomers who don't even make music and only do covers. I learned how to play guitar with the first Rocksmith game and let me tell you that game is steaming pile of shit. Rocksmith 2014 is a miles better for teaching how to play guitar. I'm an example of someone who learned though Rocksmith. If I can learn how to play guitar with garbage game like the first Rocksmith game then anyone can with 2014.
vocoroo now, your music, LARPer.
https://voca.ro/13DbLeDCBs0Q
I guarantee your playing is ass.
What the frick was that
Music you fricking boomer.
>https://voca.ro/13DbLeDCBs0Q
flanger, shitty midi-like bassline, delay and reverb.
If that is you, you are fricking moronic, did you think you would fool anyone by playing the same fricking chord for 1 and a quarter minutes? The delay'd 1-string-wonder riff?
You're dumb, you're dumb because zoomer, but also because you thought this was good.
What? Yeah I played the same chord, who gives a shit
29 to 33 seconds is the funniest part, it's like those shitty FLStudios posts, baby's first composure.
Glad rocksmith taught you one chord, you moron get the frick outta here lmao. Knew you were a LARPer
Are you fricking moronic? There's no restriction on how many chords you do for a song. You can play the same fricking note and it can still be a song. Dont tell you're one those fricking dumb boomers who thing you HAVE to play a bullshit pentatonic solo to be considered good. While we're at it post one of you songs.
>im good
>ok show technical prowess
>bangs on one chord for a minute
cease typing.
I never once said I was good and the chords are just the rhythm, literally millions of songs use chords for the rhythm. And I love how you completely ignore the lead. Do you not know how song structures work?
Don’t listen to the haters man. If you think you sound good that’s all that matters. Keep practicing and getting better
Just talentless boomers who find shit like finger tapping to be mind-blowing.
lmao you got btfo by boomers who have more experience, talent and knowledge than you at playing guitar lol. You should use your guitar strings to have a nice day since you have no talent.
Oh yeah, the boomer sure got me. homosexual didn't even post any of his song, his opinion is automatically discarded.
>I learned from Rocksmith it's great
>I never claimed to be good
oh so you didn't learn.
Being good is subjective. Millions love Bob Dylan, but other think he sounds like shit. I don't personally think I'm good enough, but from the people's opinions who I've shown my music (including the one I showed you) they think it's good. Even the homosexuals over at Ganker said some my shit was good. So a random who on Ganker who most likely doesn't even play an instrument doesn't think I'm good, then so be it.
>You can play the same fricking note and it can still be a song.
The D beat you to it.
Is mine any better?..

Thank you
What kind of moron needs rocksmith to learn? Should have taught yourself but you're probably too stupid lmao

I will never forget gays chickening out BR AIDS monkey sammys call to beat his kiss boomer bends. Hope they keep up the good work, love reading through the mountains of shitpost while shitting.
I miss that place sometimes
What are you even talking about? The game will literally take the notes off the screen for you after a streak is established. So you HAVE to memorize the song
This game taught me how to play bass and guitar, it's been four years since I've started and my custom DLC list is over 3000 songs.
Absolutely fricking amazing
This is the guitar I have, boss katana 2 50w amp.

hell of a lot of tool, some Electric wizard.

Based. Saw them right before the fake plague. It's hysterical how obvious it is that Liz Buckingham is just there for eye candy. 100% of the actual guitar work is done by Jus, she's just "there," lmao.
I'm currently considering picking up a Schecter Demon 6 and Katana. Haven't played in years, thinking about diving back in.
nice axe nice trax
Keep on rottin' in the free worl
I got sick of playing because everytime I started that game, i spent about 10 minutes tuning the guitar strings.
Even then, when I hit the right chords, it says I was off.
try calibrating your gutar, could be its not loud enough
I bought an electric guitar and nice amp recently for a really good discount cause the guitar had a little bit of paint chipped off the neck on the back but other than that it was fine
learned how to play a punk song I always loved and when I played it through the first time all the way while getting most of it almost perfect I howled in joy
I finally found something I think I can invest time into and enjoy
It’s been years but damn I can relate to this. I need to buy another guitar soon and start fresh
My homie. I just did EXACLTY the same.

Really quickly dropped that shit because I couldn't figure out how I was supposed to hold the chord AND play at the same time.
>too moronic to do lessons
>blames the game
I did look for something to teach me chords in-game but back in 2015 there wasn't anything I could really do. I tried teaching myself outside of the game but got bored and went to do something fun ¯_(ツ)_/¯
They're in the game and have lessons.
You can turn off dynamic leveling
You can make the leveling system slower. But you really should've learnt those chords. The mini games help
The game literally tells you if you should check a lesson before playing the song.
Say what you want about this guy but his way of teaching you songs note by note and slowly as frick just really worked for me
Marty "sexman" Music
You should learn notes and theory, not some bullshit game.
>notes and theory
Boring
>playing music
Fun
I never even played rocksmith
It taught my buddy and I how to fully play System of a Down songs so it was fun
Depends on the genre you want to play,
most metal, then you gotta know your theory.
Country or pop? 3 chords and your good to go.
bro. country is loaded with theory. you must be thinking country pop
I'd love nothing more than Guitar Hero to come back and be easily playable on PC. I only really played 3 and Smash Hits and on the Wii at that, but I really liked the games. I don't care about learning to play for real, I just want to buy a cheap peripheral and play custom songs really poorly.
Clone hero works fine and you can still buy cheap USB guitars and play literally every GH/RS chart ever plus another metric ton of custom shit.
Real men take their keyboard, bind the buttons to F1-F5 and enter to strum.
>tfw no GH1/GH2 setlist with master tracks instead of Harmonix horrible covers
most of the songs from gh1 and gh2 eventually appeared as DLC or on disc songs again in rock band or guitar hero. Just replace them with those versions
Price and the tone cable costs more than a fricking car here where I live and no, import is out of question.
>buy game
>pirate the dlc
>get an audio interface and use RS ASIO instead of the shitty tone cable
it just works
Ive always wanted to learn how to play the mandolin.
I even picked up a nice second hand one and its just been collecting dust in the corner of my room since I failed so hard at tuning I snapped a string. I replaced it but I do need to give it another honest try.
How do I learn to play the guitar without paying someone to teach me?
I don't want to make them go mad because of my dumb ass
Watch this guy and other people on YouTube basically. Find a song you wanna learn and search it on there. Learn to read tabs sooner than later and use those also
how is this guy compared to Justinguitar?
I never watched Justinguitar much, his lessons seemed too big brain for me I guess, Marty really dumbs shit down to an easier learn level for me.
If your conviction is as good as your self esteem don't apply, ngmi.

Can I play it on Xbox Series X?
How do you like that SG? Always has been a dream guitar of mine
Why has no one made a game like Rocksmith but for drums yet? Rock band's pro drum mode is pretty good but a more technical learning game/tool would be great for drumming. I guess the price of entry for equipment just isn't viable for most people compared to guitar
paradiddle, a VR drumming game has a mode like rocksmith
Learned some basic b***h bass with it. Stuff like "Rebel Yell" and Iron Maiden's "Caught Somewhere In Time". It's a good tool imo.
I actually really did like this and recently looked to see if they have any new versions
sad its all just turning to an app now
oddly enough this is the way I play guitar the most
This impeded my progress, the first song's lead tab is the fricking bass.
The only thing I got out of this game was a cheap audio interface in the form of the cable and a basic amp in in the game itself.
>amp in
amp sim
>audio interface
what's a good and cheap one? I can't find mine
Install ASIO4ALL, then you can use the cable like you would an audio interface. Unless you're asking for a real audio interface, in which case the Focusrite Scarlett seems to be the cheapest one that isn't poor quality, the Behringer U-Phoria is supposed to be OK too but I wouldn't trust anything that cheap.
>Focusrite Scarlett seems to be the cheapest one that isn't poor quality, the Behringer U-Phoria is supposed to be OK too but I wouldn't trust anything that cheap
Oh, frick. Scarlett costs an arm where I live meanwhie the Behringer U-Phoria UM2 is kinda okaish in price.
There's also this M AUDIO 1CH - USB M-Track Solo but idk shit about this kind of stuff k
>Behringer U-Phoria
It's the one that I use. It just werks bres. Idk
If you're just using it for Rocksmith you really can't go wrong with any of them, even the older USB 2.0 ones like the old as balls line 6 plasticy toy looking one, just get the cheapest available and you'll be fine.
i have a scarlett, anon, its alright and works really well for rocksmith. its far better than the real tone cable.
>try to use my high-Ohm headphones on Scarlett
>push both software gain and the knob to maximum
>try to listen to some music to get some rest from recording
>notice that bass is fricking ugly and distorted, holy shit
And that's why I use normal headphones with them now. I don't know what I expected, these interfaces aren't meant to drive such phones. Thanks for reading my blog.
I can play jingle bells on piano, thats about it. Havent learned to add the bass notes yet.
Unfortunately I have a condition known as stupid fingers because I dumped dex for con at character creation.
Been playing for a few years. I'm finally at the place where I no longer consider myself dogshit and I'm thinking about upgrading to Schecter.
what do you like to play anon? how do you spend most of your practice time?
Started with punk and rock because it was easy. Moved on to metal. I mostly play rock, from classical to alt.
As for practice, I followed Justin guitar's lessons to learn basics so I still use his practice routines.
>classical rock
kek. im imagining paganini over ac/dc
but good anon. justin has good lessons and breaks down complex stuff in an easy way. metal is great for runs. i harvest metal songs all the time for riffs and licks that i work into improv. it's a good ground because metal artists incorporate stuff from a wide variety of genres in an attempt to one up each other constantly. ive been trying blues and slide fingerpicking stuff myself. what do you want out of a schecter?
I mostly want Schecter because they have a good range of left handed models, unlike other makers. Haven't decided on a model yet.
ah a leftie eh, well one thing ill say is metal brands have the spec sheets in check. ive owned an ibanez rg just for that, but as i got older i bought a fender and fell in love with the tone. looking for a nice acoustic now
Yamaha guitars are pretty good tbh. They may not have as many big names as other brands, but their guitars are solid.
I'm saving to buy a Japanese pic related.
If I was to get another Japanese guitar, I'd go for Sago.
god speed anon
It would be perfect if you could use a classic guitar tab instead the moronic sistem they chose for the notation
most guitarists can't read normal sheet music
I can read sheet music for piano and bass, but for some reason it's weird as frick for guitar, probably because you can play the same note on like 4 different strings
most sheet music for guitar ive seen using programs is just normal sheet music with tabs under it, how is it different?
that seems like a good compromise. I think a lot of guitarists rely on tabs to learn but the problem with tabs is that it sucks at representing rhythm while classical notation does that really well
i think rhythm is innate for guitarists, especially for ones that sing with it. you need to be in rhythm or it makes it much harder. they learn by ear and feel. tabs are meant to be played along with the song, its not like shcolarly notation that goes into archives. modern guitar is a unique instrument because it was developed along with radio. theres no classical flutists learning by ear because there was no radio.
I meant a guitar tab the one that is understood by all the guitarists.
Haven't played in years. It was fun
If you say guitar most people assume you're talking about an electric. If it's not an electric people will point it out like "an acoustic guitar", "a classical guitar" etc.
By default "guitar" = "electric guitar".
see
>tfw made this thread as a joke but now I'm sad I dropped learning guitar 2 years ago
You made a good thread that has actual discussion. Feel proud
Regret is a pretty good motivator. I used it to learn Japanese after I got salty about watching shit for a decade without learning anything, now 7 years on I can do whatever I want.
It's either that or you spend the rest of your life unable to play an instrument.
Already played acoustic for a few years, got an amp and an electric guitar later, didn't have any movitation to play until I got Rocksmith, now I got 2k hours in, making custom songs and shit
Man, this thread is giving me the urges to pick up the guitar/bass again...
im playing right now, well i put it down for a second. but i just got amplitube 5 and guitar rig 6, lot of improved sounds. i was chugging along with guitar rig 5 before that. been looking into the neural archetype sound library too. but so far im having fun playing small little acoustic melodies on my fender electric
i got a few nice little pieces from an anime waifu app, guitar girl actually. has surprisingly based pieces and i figure the Ganker crowd will like it

Thank you anons, I remember having fun when playing a couple years ago.
>need to learn how to change strings
Same, this is always one of those things that keeps me away...
do it, I'm picking it up again as well
thank god I have all the gear still, just need to learn how to ||change guitar strings, it's kinda scary||
Same here. What’s the best sounding practice amp I can buy for around 500 bucks or less?

>What’s the best sounding practice amp I can buy for around 500 bucks or less?
Get Boss Katana MK-II, it's less than 500 bucks and it's more than enough for solo/band practice.
for anyone actually interested in guitar read guthrie govan's creative book series. and also listen to his music so that you may form a decent baseline as to what good guitar playing sounds like
Anyone please explain something for a noob?
I love this performance:
I have a question about the chords he is using, seems like he is not using barred chords for A and G but using his thumb to block the top string? I always read that this is not good practice, is this really what he is doing?
you can't get the same percussive sound using a full barre chord unless you're muting specific parts of it. you also get a slightly cleaned up sound using only 3-4 strings at a time rather than 4-6 strings at a time.
tldr rather than full chords, learn to use smaller triads.
>I have a question about the chords he is using, seems like he is not using barred chords for A and G but using his thumb to block the top string?
He is doing exactly what you are saying
> I always read that this is not good practice
I've always read the same but when you have years of practice it happens naturally and it is more comfortable (and it give you more control)
forgot pic
Only women and fingerlets don't do proper barre chords.
ive always found this extremely uncomfortable, and i have hitchhicker's thumb. its always made the way i hold the fretboard precarious since my thumb overextends naturally.
i guess jimi hendrix did it. not my thing though. i have a very light touch and prefer the guitar to rest on my body, low action, etc. seems likeyou're gripping the hell out of the guitar to do that
I gave up on music because I have an hearing impairment anyway. More than 75% hearing reduction in my right hear, ain't no way in hell I can become a good musician like this.
Plus I like art more.
Brian Wilson is deaf in one ear and the guy was considered a musical genius
paul stanley is deaf in one ear aswell
I feel like Ichiro Yamaguchi (Sakanaction) became even better after he also got deaf in one ear.
Cool game that makes learning songs a game, but you can just go for tabs
Frick ubisoft for forcing an update with denuvo onto my computer long after I bought it. I don't want that malware shit on my rig.
Post your babies.
rad strings bro
Thanks. They sounded like complete shit and I took em off.
Shame too, cos I loved how they looked.
>They sounded like complete shit
shame, bc it looked cool, i'd look for string like those with better quality
i left my guitar at my parent's, now i play.... a keytar
Please, not bully.
They're DR Neons, which are allegedly high quality. They're certainly priced like they are.
I never got as far as them flaking. I had them on for about two weeks and noticed an immediate drop in volume by around 50% and a really thin sound. Sounded okay slapped cos of very few overtones. Tried to play them in but it didn't help. Went back to the same set of Ernie Ballsacks that came with the bass.
Maybe I just got unlucky and got a pack of dead strings. They just come in a cardboard box with paper envelopes, so it's possible.
really?
i heard they flake after a while
personally i dont believe in changing strings needlessly. i only change them if they rust or break. which i think is more likely if youre gigging and sweating over them every day. other than slight intonation fluctuations theres no actual difference especially through an overdriven amp. i think its a marketing scam. maybe its different for acoustics, i dunno, i dont play acoustic.
I love playing on new strings. I usually change them every 2 weeks. The feeling of them and bright tone is amazing. On my bass i just leave the strings on for however long I get around to changing them which is months.
>I usually change them every 2 weeks.
My guitar has had the same old rusted strings for like 4 years. I guess I fricked up.
rust is worse than age. theres 8 year old strings that sound the same as new strings as long as they dont rust.
i think the new string feel thing is just them settling in as they go through wild intonation shifts in that period. maybe it matters more for acoustic. i dont think there are actually more measurable overtones, maybe just a different tone while they stretch out.
people get autistic about metronomes especially in a studio situation. protools literally has a "fix timing" button that makes all of your notes fit autistically on the beat. makes it sound sterile.
Your guitar mostly likely sounds like absolute shit and probably can't even stay in tune. Change your damn strings.
Whoops, was meant for
I miss playing guys I developed psoriatic arthritis in my right middle finger and although it’s in remission with medicine the joint is fricked can’t play barre chords anymore at all

what do other people have to do with you learning? 90% of it is gonna be you autistically in a room practicing, until its time to jam with others who have done the same
>jam with others who have done the same
None of my friends already play, and considering rocksmith can accommodate their complete lack of skill, I want to play with my friends. It blows me away that if given the opportunity to play with an actual guitar and maybe learn some very very basic stuff, people still want nothing to do with it. I would have lost my mind if someone would have introduced me to rocksmith when I was younger.
I've met a guy at my gym who invited me to jam out with him and his buddy, as they need a bass player. I mean that's cool and all, but sometimes I want to play silly songs with my friends.
I did but I don't know what to play
just be yourself mayne
blitzkrieg bop

>o shit i can actually do something
moment
>learning guitar for ~9 months
>still cant handle blitzkrieg bop
I feel like it's just too fast and the picking rhythm throws me off hard
You might have heard this advice a lot, but it's true: start slow, real damn slow. Like, 50% bpm. Try to just play through a part very slowly, but really well. Can't understand the rhythm? Forget about fingering chords and just strum muted strings until you feel it. And only when you get comfortable you should increase the speed a little bit, 5-10%.
if you can play it slow, you will be able to play it fast
just practice
you have to sing
Honestly this, nobody was ever impressed with my guitar skills alone and everything always pressured me to sing but I was too beta
>want to play Chon
>don't want to learn hybrid picking

Just listen to lots of things, you'll surely find something you just want to play. Doesn't matter what, even generic anime shit is fine if it drives you. I restarted my learning after seeing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QIdXcs8XNo and going "yeah, I want to play that track"
>Doesn't matter what, even generic anime shit is fine if it drives you.
This. For me it was bandori and k-on
K-on! has some really great beginners songs, and it has official tabs for every single song.
>it has official tabs for every single song
Do you know where I can find them?

Not that anon but thanks for sharing.

Same here. I've been playing for a while, but I still feel like I suck tbh.

Pretty cool
For me it was learning Megaman X tunes by ear.
My first baby. Yeah, it's cheap, but I really love how it feels and how its bridge pickups sound. I do want to buy a tele when I occasionally get into that midwestern emo mood, the middle pickup on it is not enough
Mods are asleep, post your favourite songs to play:

i love old gg tunes
sadly strive is shit even in the music
I wish i could be good enough to play these songs
Anon, a noob is going to break their strings trying to tune thin ass regular strings to drop A if they try that.
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

I like to think I'm pretty alright at bass thanks to this game. Suck ass at guitar but I haven't really put the time into it.

Disable dynamic difficulty and enable override to max
It's kinda moronic that it isn't like that by default, the game has you playing the wrong shit and you have to relearn the song when you go up in difficulty, it's much better to whack it on max and slow it down.
I agree, as soon as I got the game I just disabled that shit. Trial by fire. Not like you can fail the song, just get a worse score.
You can put the sliders to 100% right away in the menu if you want.
Or even turn off the blocks.
Arcade mode also has no easing beyond choosing 3 complexity levels so you can just jump straight to master in there too.
i really fricked up buying an acoustic to play vidya music, didn't i
Acoustics have pick ups you can slap on the hole and then plug into puter.
No idea which ones are good tho. No experience with them. Have fun.
You can use a mic too, don't know how well it works though.
You can transcribe a lot of piano songs, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77ms6UFWC6I . And even then if there's no palm muting, tapping or some other techniques that do need an amp you can play electric arrangements on acoustic just fine.
Unless you bought a classic with nylon strings, then RIP but on the other hand you can play flamenco guitars from Ace Combat Zero.
and
just did the 2nd one yesterday I love the glides to 12 you have to do.
Won't detect my fricking audio out on win7 and drives me up a damn wall.
When I got to play it on xbawks in high school though... THAT was kino
Try turning off exclusive audio something or whatever it is, something else may have priority on the output.
Come on anon, even girl can do that. Play some fricking songs.
Girls can do a lot of scary stuff, anon.
The main riff is easy but the solo is tough for me, I'm not used to such fast speeds.

I hate internets so much. At least I have my favorite cover savedit's a fricking .flv
I want to get a piano. I've been teaching myself music theory for the past few months and practicing songs with virtual piano (lol)
Is it actually possible to learn this thing by yourself, or should I just get over my fear of embarrassing myself and get a teacher? I don't want to frick up the basics. 700$ for a keyboard, stand, and pedals is a pretty big investment. Much more than an acoustic guitar that costs 300-400$ alone, but I always felt that the guitar is too limited for the songs I'd want to play from my favorite le bideogames, and classical music. Guitar also seems much harder and intimidating to me. Frick the abomination that is the fretboard
its easy to learn by yourself if you give yourself time to develop muscle memory and be patient. im talking about guitar but you can apply that to piano. lots of youtube lessons on how to play piano properly, go for it anon
You can absolutely teach yourself piano if you're only interested in pop music. If you want to learn anything beyond basic classical music you'll want a teacher
Pianos are sick.
start with a cheap 66 keys casio dont invest more until you really need the other 22 keys
Weighted keys are pretty essential even for beginners imo
lol the guy is not even sure if he is going to keep playing and you are here sugesting weighted keys like if he is about to play pro-shit
weighted keys a meme to sell expensive keyboards + expensive shipping
>music theory before actually learning to play the instrument
Leave music theory for last, all that does is help you write music "easier", as in "holy shit yeah that's pretty obvious"
Also don't get a real actual piano, just get a music keyboard or a synth
Honestly I think that getting lessons with a teacher it's always worth it, at least for the first months. There's always lots of bad habits one can catch and the sooner you fix them the better.
I kind of want to try a wind instrument like a sax, they seem a lot simpler than piano or guitar. But are they too simple? You can't do chords and shit with them.
why cant learning an instument just be easy and quick
Guitar and bass are pretty easy though
bass guitar
you can, literally, plug and play

Now,
do you want to be a GREAT bassist?, you'll need work and talent.
I tried to learn piano as a kid, and having a lot of trouble keeping coordinated with both hands while playing turned me off from playing an instrument for the rest of my life.
what a contrarian
What?
Is this worth it to buy for bass? I stopped playing my bass for a couple of months and want to get back to practicing. I study off if books/tabs/sheet music but figured this might be fun to use in addition to that.
ofc it is
just buy it on steam sale and buy cherub rock dlc
PC also has the option to mod in custom songs, right? Are they any good in terms of accuracy?
They seem about as good as the typical tab out there, some songs are tabbed out differently that they're supposed to be but that's the case for songs that came with the game too anyway
Got it. I think I'll go and get it then. If I end up liking it I might try out guitar as well.
>option to mod in custom songs
yes
>Are they any good in terms of accuracy
yes, but most of them dont have dynamic difficulty and might now have bass/rhythm version in them
I never got electric guitar. I look at an electric guitar cover of a song, and the person puts that actual song on in the background and just plays random riffs along with the song. Every single time. It's fricking dumb.
You look up acoustic guitar or piano cover and the person is actually playing the song on the guitar or piano. Electric guitar seems like a limited and lame instrument.
nah, electric guitar is great
https://voca.ro/10159nkwUaAM
You most likely heard rock covers or some shit like that. Thing is, if you're not playing with relatively clean tones (which they most likely didn't) it's very hard to get that polyphonic sound of the acoustic guitar. Distortion/overdrive just sounds really ugly if you try to do multiple voices and it's relegated to just melodic or harmony filling parts (but never both at the same time). You should listen to genres with more clean tones and not covers (e.g. some types of math rock, midwestern emo, jazz, etc).
This is the dumbest reason to not like electric guitar. Its up to the player to make the cover work, of course low effort shit sounds like shit. Do you not 'get' bass guitar either because they do the same thing on YouTube? Or do you just dislike the sound of electric guitar in general. That's a more legit reason than "youtubers just play random riffs over existing songs."
>tfw finally getting close to "the tone"
It's still not there yet, but I've never been this close before and holy shit I haven't had this much fun playing the guitar in years.

Thanks Guitar Hero. Rocksmith was ok but I felt it only hindered my practice routine. Took me a solid half a decade to learn open chords though. Self teaching yourself has a lot of hurdles to overcome. Jam with people you know who also know how to play even a little bit better than you, trust me. I distinctly remember my friend telling me my grip on the guitar was all wrong 2 yers after I had already been practicing (I was basically giving the neck a death grip)
>record ~30s track
>lock it away in the recordings folder never to be seen again
i do not know what to do with this instrument anymore
Anon, never forget that practice makes permanent, so practice perfectly!
Justin is that you??
I don't even bother with my electric anymore I think it's fricking gay and I hate it.
Maybe its because you're gay.
I had the original on 360 around when it came out and the cable worked fine for years until suddenly it just didn't last year. Knowing that it's basically a lottery whether you get a good one or not prevents me from dropping money on a new one. Shit sucked because it happened a week after I got into doing custom songs on the steam version.
i fricking love open tunings
i fricking love excessive tapping and natural harmonics
